Couple Sues Planned Parenthood After Botched Abortion

/0 Comments/in , /by

An Idaho couple that traveled to Albuquerque, New Mexico for an abortion is suing two Planned Parenthood branches and a Boise hospital after a failed chemical abortion left them with a living, health-challenged child, demanding the defendants help pick up the tab for their son’s care.

While six weeks pregnant, Bianca Coons and her partner Cristobal Ruiz went to Idaho for an abortion in 2016, the Albuquerque Journal reports. They claimed they were “destitute and attempting to maintain and limit the size of their family” beyond the two kids they already had, and fearing Idaho’s abortion waiting period would “result in the baby being much more advanced in development.”

According to the lawsuit, Planned Parenthood’s San Mateo facility administered the first half of a “medication” abortion (mifepristone, or RU-486), then instructed Coons to take the second half (misoprostol) later. They went home to Boise, where a day later Coons went to an ER for severe nausea and learned her still-living baby had a “strong heartbeat.” A doctor there consulted Planned Parenthood and relayed its instructions to take the second half of the chemical abortion. . .

Coons and Ruiz’s son was ultimately born one month premature, suffering “jaundice and blood sugar issues.” His parents fear he “may carry a defect or injury into adulthood.”

Their suit is seeking $765,000 in damages to offset the costs of raising “an additional unplanned child,” as well as damages for breach of contract, unfair trade practices, consumer protection violations, and emotional distress.

Dating App Reportedly Bans Female Hunter – Here’s Why

/1 Comment/in , /by

Nichole, an avid hunter identified only by her first name, told KGO-TV that she opened up her app and suddenly discovered that she couldn’t use its functionality.

Nichole told the outlet that she posted the photo and several hours later, she was banned from using the platform. Nichole said that when she reached out to the company to inquire about the loss of use, the company told her that she “violated the terms of service and the community guidelines.”

“I cropped [the photo] so there were no weapons, no blood — my family, we are not trophy hunters; we hunt for food,” she explained. “We respect the animal, we respect the outdoors, we eat every part of the deer that we can, and only take shots when we feel it’s going to be a good shot and it’s going to take the animal as quickly and painlessly as possible.”

A spokesperson for the company told the station that the company has a “team dedicated to investigating each report.” The spokesperson also noted that the female hunter’s account “had been reported multiple times,” but noted that “the matter has been resolved and they can now use Tinder.” (Read more from “Dating App Reportedly Bans Female Hunter – Here’s Why” HERE)

Woman Assaults Young Man Wearing MAGA Hat, Then Claims She’s the Victim

/0 Comments/in , /by

By The Blaze. A 41-year-old Massachusetts woman is facing charges after reportedly assaulting a young man who was wearing a “Make America Great Again” hat.

The incident in question took place at a Falmouth, Massachusetts, Mexican restaurant last week.

Bryton Turner, 23, was wearing the hat inside the eatery, reportedly minding his own business, when Rosiane Santos stalked over and began harassing the young man over his hat. . .

Santos — a Brazilian immigrant — later said that she was actually the victim in the incident, and told police that Turner’s hat upset her.

“I had a little bit to drink maybe that’s the reason that I couldn’t walk away but being discriminated for so many times in my life, I just had to stand up for myself,” she explained. “He’s not a victim. I am the victim. I have been bullied, OK?” (Read more from “Woman Assaults Young Man Wearing MAGA Hat, Then Claims She’s the Victim” HERE)

Woman Arrested for Assaulting Man Wearing MAGA Hat on Cape Cod

By Boston 25 News. . .Turner says he was minding his own business, when Santos started yelling at him because of his hat, which bears the theme that President Donald Trump campaigned on.

The woman is seen walking behind him and hitting his hat off his head.

When asked if Turner did anything to provoke Santos, bartender Geo Macarao said, “No, no he just walked in and ordered his food.”

When police showed up to the restaurant, the woman told them the man shouldn’t be allowed to eat in a Mexican restaurant. President Donald Trump is aiming to build a wall on the U.S.-Mexico border.

As Falmouth police officers were escorting Santos out of the restaurant, Macarao said she took another swipe at Turner. (Read more from “Woman Arrested for Assaulting Man Wearing MAGA Hat on Cape Cod” HERE)

Virginia Lt. Gov. Fairfax Compares Himself to Lynching Victims Due to Sexual Assault Allegations Against Him

/1 Comment/in , /by

Virginia Lt. Gov. Justin Fairfax (D) made a speech Sunday in which he compared himself to a victim of lynching due to the sexual assault allegations he was facing, according to the Associated Press.

“I’ve heard much about anti-lynching on the floor of this very Senate, where people were not given any due process whatsoever, and we rue that,” Fairfax said at the close of the legislative session for the state Senate.

“And we talk about hundreds, at least 100 terror lynchings that have happened in the Commonwealth of Virginia under those very same auspices,” he continued. “And yet we stand here in a rush to judgment with nothing but accusations and no facts and we decide that we are willing to do the same thing.” . . .

“That is the worst, most disgusting type of rhetoric he could have invoked,” Republican House Majority Leader Del. Todd Gilbert said of Fairfax’s remarks Sunday. “It’s entirely appropriate for him to talk about due process and we would intend to offer him every ounce of it, and he’s welcome to take advantage of that anytime he would like.”

The state’s two other top Democrats, Virginia Gov. Ralph Northam and Attorney General Mark Herring, have also been resisting calls to resign after they both admitted to wearing blackface in the 1980s. (Read more from “Virginia Lt. Gov.

Mom Who Killed Her 3 Children Used Fake Doctor’s Note to Get Them out of School

/0 Comments/in , /by

The Michigan mother who shot her three daughters in the woods last Monday before killing herself in her boyfriend’s driveway used a fake doctor’s appointment to get her three daughters out of school and alone with her, investigators revealed.

Aubrianne Moore, 28, showed up at the children’s school in the middle of the day to pick up her daughters Alaina Rau, 2, Cassidy Rodery, 6, and Kyrie Rodery, 8, Kent County Sheriff’s Office detectives said. They added that her “doctor’s note” that she gave to school administrators was fake.

The mother’s former social worker had warned about her behavior last September in a petition to the Newaygo County Probate Court. She wrote of the need to have Moore committed to a mental hospital.

“Aubrianne is keeping her kids home from school because the television told her there would be a school bus accident today,” the social worker wrote, as WYFF reported. “Aubrianne stays awake at night believing people will break into her home. Aubrianne is not eating believing food is being poisoned.” . . .

Investigators said Moore took her children to lunch before going to a wooded area behind a property that belonged to the children’s great grandparents. She then took the children one by one into the woods and shot them with a bolt-action hunting rifle before driving back to her boyfriend’s house and killing herself outside the vehicle, WOOD reported.

Police: Two Soldiers Plotted Murder of Another Soldier on Snapchat

/0 Comments/in , /by

Police in Michigan say that two Georgia-based soldiers spent months planning the murder of the husband of one of the soldiers and specifically used Snapchat as a way of attempting to keep the plot secret.

In a story highlighted by Military Times, the Kalamazoo Gazette reports that while both Spc. Kemia Hassel, 22, and her co-defendant, Spc. Jeremey Cuellar, 24, have pleaded not guilty to charges of first-degree murder, police say that Hassel admitted to them that she planned the New Year’s Eve murder of her husband, U.S. Army Sgt. Tyrone Hassel III, 23 — and says she and Cuellar used Snapchat in an attempt to conceal their plot.

“The wife of an Army sergeant killed in December admitted that she planned his killing together with another man, communicating on Snapchat in an attempt to hide their communications, according to statements she made to police,” the Gazette reports.

Snapchat’s key distinguishing feature is that it deletes video and image messages sent between users as a way of keeping interaction flow more “natural” and to avoid the “permanent” and public nature of other social media platforms.

St. Joseph Township Police Officer Mike Lanier told the court Wednesday during a preliminary examination that Hassel had plotted with Cueller for months about killing her husband so they could be together and she could collect his life insurance money.

House Passes a Staggering Abortion Bill – Here’s What It Says

/0 Comments/in , /by

By The Blaze. The Vermont House voted to pass a staggering bill that would allow abortion at any stage of pregnancy and for any reason whatsoever.

Critics say the legislation is more expansive of abortion rights than the extremist bills passed in New York and Virginia.

“Every individual who becomes pregnant has the fundamental right to choose to carry a pregnancy to term, give birth to a child, or to have an abortion,” the bill reads. . .

The bill would also strip unborn children of any rights or recognition of their personhood by the state.

“A fertilized egg, embryo, or fetus shall not have independent rights under Vermont law,” it reads. (Read more from “House Passes a Staggering Abortion Bill – Here’s What It Says” HERE)

Vermont House Passes Bill Legalizing All Abortion

By National Review. The Vermont House voted this evening to pass H57, which would legalize abortion at any stage of pregnancy and for any reason. “Every individual who becomes pregnant has the fundamental right to choose to carry a pregnancy to term, give birth to a child, or to have an abortion,” the bill states.

The bill was co-sponsored by 90 Democratic legislators and passed by a vote of 106-36.

This legislation is far more radical than the recent expansion of late-term abortion in New York, as well as the proposed expansions in Virginia and Rhode Island. Those bills allow abortion for any reason up to viability and essentially allow for abortion up to birth, creating “health” exceptions that are often loosely interpreted to permit abortion on demand after viability as well.

Rather than crafting health exceptions like these that amount to tacit permission for post-viability abortion, the Vermont bill offers a blanket permission slip for any and all abortion, throughout pregnancy, and for any reason. And not only that, but the bill text contains a provision dehumanizing unborn children: “A fertilized egg, embryo, or fetus shall not have independent rights under Vermont law.” (Read more from “Vermont House Passes Bill Legalizing All Abortion” HERE)

WATCH: Conservative Activist Punched in the Face on Berkeley Campus

/0 Comments/in , /by

Police at the University of California Berkeley were called to a student plaza on Tuesday after reports that a representative of the conservative Leadership Institute was physically assaulted by a man on the campus. Part of the assault was captured on cellphone video that has since been shared online by Turning Point USA, the conservative group the representative was reportedly helping train.

Citing a campus police alert that went out Wednesday, the paper reports that the alleged victim, a male Leadership Institute representative, “had been tabling for the conservative group Turning Point USA on Tuesday afternoon about 3:29 p.m. when two males approached the table.”

The victim told police that he and the two men became embroiled in a verbal altercation, at which point he began filming the escalating exchange with his phone. One of the two alleged attackers reportedly slapped the phone out of the activist’s hand and then overturned the table the group was using to recruit.

“While he and the suspect struggled for the phone, the suspect punched the victim several times, causing injury to the victim’s eye and nose,” the Daily Californian reports. By the time police arrived, the suspect had already left the scene.

A student who witnessed the attack filmed the second part of the altercation on his phone, and TPUSA’s Charlie Kirk has tweeted out the footage, writing, “Imagine if the attacker was wearing MAGA hat, would be national news!”

Bernie Sanders’ Entire Worldview Is Grotesquely Immoral and Evil

/0 Comments/in , /by

Sen. Bernie Sanders (Loonbag – VT) is best labeled as not merely a “democratic socialist,” as is voguish for the mini-Robespierres du jour. He is not even merely best described as a run-of-the-mill “socialist” — you know, your typical pothead college sophomore who hasn’t even taken an introductory macroeconomics course but just knows that true justice requires state seizure of the means of production. . .

Let us state this as explicitly as possible. In the 1980s, in the midst of a Reagan-Gorbachev détente that ultimately led to the dissolution of America’s existentially threatening superpower foe, the Marxist-Leninist Soviet Union, Bernie Sanders stood not with America — but with the Soviets. . .

Toward the end of the hellish Cold War, facing a hegemonic Soviet arch-nemesis whose only reason for not annihilating us via nuclear holocaust was the game theory-backed theory of “mutually assured destruction,” Bernie Sanders honeymooned with his second wife in the Soviet Union. Toward the end of the hellish Cold War, facing a hegemonic Soviet arch-nemesis whose only reason for not annihilating us via nuclear holocaust was the game theory-backed theory of “mutually assured destruction,” Bernie Sanders flew a hammer-and-sickle Soviet flag in his Vermont mayoral office. At the end of the hellish Cold War, facing a hegemonic Soviet arch-nemesis whose only reason for not annihilating us via nuclear holocaust was the game theory-backed theory of “mutually assured destruction,” Bernie Sanders willfully addressed a known front group for a political party whose members swear an oath of allegiance to that very hegemonic arch-nemesis.

As The Daily Wire’s Matt Walsh wrote yesterday, this can only be described as “morally deranged” behavior.

[Sanders] is not some stupid college student who champions communism because he has no idea what happened in the world prior to 2005. He lived through much of the 1900s and very well knows that it was a century bathed in the blood shed by communist governments. He knows that communism very recently killed 100 million people, and that it continues to add to the body count even today. Yet he advocates for communist policies and wishes to see the great evil of the 20th century reborn in the 21st. What else can we call this but morally deranged?

Shocker: Media Still Trying to Pretend Planned Parenthood Didn’t Sell Baby Body Parts

/0 Comments/in , /by

When CNN recently hired Sarah Isgur, Jeff Sessions’ former spokeswoman, to be a political editor at its Washington bureau, the predictable backlash from left-dominated media types and activists followed. Even the allegedly unbiased CNN newsroom was reportedly “demoralized” at the mere thought of a Republican on staff. No word on how former Obama official, now CNN’s chief national security correspondent and co-anchor of “CNN Newsroom,” Jim Sciutto, felt about the development.

Isgur was accused of holding various right-of-center positions. And when a former political activist-turned-Vox writer claimed that Isgur “pushed Planned Parenthood conspiracy theories that were grounded in misleadingly edited videos,” the talking point quickly gained popularity with Isgur’ detractors.

The alleged proof of this conspiracy theorizing resides in a single retweet of a Federalist piece written by my colleague Mollie Hemingway, praising Isgur’s former boss Carly Fiorina for highlighting a series of undercover videos released in 2015, clearly catching Planned Parenthood executives and doctors admitting to illegally profiting from the sale of the fetal tissue of aborted babies.

The only conspiracy theory attached to the incident was spread by pro-abortion activists and Planned Parenthood apologists, which included CNN’s news division and other major media outlets, who either ignored the shocking videos or falsely and repeatedly claimed that videos of executives breezily discussing the harvesting and illegal selling of baby parts had been “heavily” and “deceptively” edited.

The fact was that Center for Medical Progress had edited the footage in the same manner news organizations always edit footage: they highlight the newsworthy parts of conversations. Unlike most of their media detractors, though, the Center for Medical Progress posted the entire raw footage of the tapes for anyone to watch.
