Planned Parenthood Releases New ‘Unstoppable’ Manifesto

/0 Comments/in , /by

The abortion conglomerate Planned Parenthood has released yet another one of its manifestos ahead of the 2018 midterm elections. This “Unstoppable” campaign sets eight specific goals.

So what message is Planned Parenthood pushing out now? As highlighted by LifeNews, it’s the same old shtick: women are doomed.

“The manifesto’s central tenets are that ‘our bodies are our own’ and ‘no equality is possible without this,’ birth control is ‘basic health care,’ health care is a ‘human right,’ and abortions should be without restriction,” reports the outlet. “It also calls for freedom from sexual violence, equal pay, paid family leave, and a rejection of racism, homophobia, and transphobia.” . . .

“The Trump-Pence administration has worked to restrict access to abortion, undermined birth control access by allowing virtually any employer to refuse to provide coverage for birth control based on a religious or moral objection, and tried to block people from getting care at Planned Parenthood health centers,” the manifesto laments. “We should be working towards a world where our bodies are our own, and women are able to access full reproductive care.”

“Big Bang Theory” star Mayim Bialik is helping to promote the manifesto along with some music from Sia. Dawn Laguens, executive vice president for Planned Parenthood, said the “UNSTOPPABLE” manifesto will be a “rallying cry” for feminists everywhere.

Hospital Harvests Daughter’s Organs Against Father’s Will

/0 Comments/in , /by

A California man is suing both a hospital and organ donation network, claiming they harvested his daughter’s organs against his will.

Brittany O’Connor died last November. The Fresno, California mother of two had been rushed to the hospital after attempting to kill herself by strangulation. She was placed on life support, and not expected to survive.

Terence “Mike” O’Connor Jr., Brittany’s father, has filed the Fresno Superior Court civil lawsuit against Community Regional Medical Center (CRMC) and Donor Network West.

According to O’Connor’s attorneys Thornton Davidson and H. Ty Kharazi, this is not the first time the two groups have engaged in what they claim is “a pervasive and unlawful scheme to harvest organs from terminal patients.” They are pursuing class-action status for their lawsuit.

Vice president of communications and public affairs for Community Regional Medical Centers (which oversees the hospital where Brittany O’Connor died), Michelle Von Tersch, offered the following in response: “While we won’t comment on the particulars of pending court proceedings, we do follow applicable laws for all organ donations, which saves so many lives each day. We extend our heartfelt condolences to Brittany’s family members for their tragic loss. We know it is a terrible time for them.” (Read more from “Hospital Harvests Daughter’s Organs Against Father’s Will” HERE)

Federal Judge Rules Trump Administration Must Fully Restart the DACA Program

/0 Comments/in , /by

A federal judge ruled on Friday afternoon that the Trump administration must restart the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program. . .

The program itself provides temporary opportunities for children who were brought into the United States illegally to remain in the country. Some 800,000 people, nicknamed “Dreamers,” have been allowed to stay in the country under DACA.

President Trump followed through on a campaign promise last September when he ended DACA, but did it in a way that allowed beneficiaries to continue using the program temporarily and it gave Congress a chance to pass a legislation to fix the situation.

Researchers Claim Climate Change Causes Suicides

/0 Comments/in , /by

Stanford researchers are now claiming that warmer temperatures will lead to higher rates of suicide. The study compared historical temperatures and suicide data across the U.S. and Mexico and concluded that temperature increases will increase suicides by an additional 21,000 by the year 2050.

The study, led by Stanford economist Marshall Burke, was published July 23 in Nature Climate Change.

According to the research, there’s strong evidence on social media that suggests hotter temperatures affect mental health. They found this to be the case by analyzing language in over half a billion Twitter updates and tweets.

The researchers focused on keywords such as “lonely,” “trapped,” or “suicidal” during high-temperature hot spells. The data suggested that hot temperatures correlate with suicide rates and depressive language on social media.

“We’ve been studying the effects of warming on conflict and violence for years, finding that people fight more when it’s hot. Now we see that in addition to hurting others, some individuals hurt themselves,” the researchers concluded. (Read more from “Researchers Claim Climate Change Causes Suicides” HERE)

Bishops’ Names to Be Removed From Diocese Buildings for Not Protecting Kids From Sex Abuse

/0 Comments/in , /by

A Catholic bishop ordered the names of Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, diocese bishops who preceded him since the 1940s be removed from all diocesan properties, since the bishops didn’t protect children from sexual abuse, PennLive reported.

Ronald Gainer, the bishop of the Harrisburg diocese, also released the names of 71 individuals accused of child sex crimes. Of the names listed, 37 were priests in the Harrisburg diocese, three were diocese deacons, six were diocese seminarians, nine were clergy from other dioceses, and 16 were from religious communities, WHTM-TV reported. . .

One official with Villanova University — a Catholic college in the Philadelphia area — told the outlet that Gainer’s decision was “gutsy.”

“I commend him for stepping forward and showing that the responsibility, the real problem lies with church leadership,” Charles Zech, director of the school’s Center for Church Management and Business Ethics, told PennLive.

He added to the outlet that “you hear it here and there when someone has been found to not have lived the perfect life, but to remove all of the names is unprecedented. I applaud him for recognizing that they all have been culpable.” (Read more from “Bishops’ Names to Be Removed From Diocese Buildings for Not Protecting Kids From Sex Abuse” HERE)

Netflix Continues Catering to Leftist Causes With Disturbing New Documentary

/0 Comments/in , /by

A feature rarely mentioned about the Black Panther movement of the 1960s was its pro-Hitlerism. This racist group openly admired Adolf Hitler. Although they bellowed about the “evil” white race, what really motivated them was their hatred of Jews. . .

Then and now, white and black leftists cleansed their history of these fascist views, instead focusing on the community breakfast and free education programs Black Panthers designed for the black poor.

Such airbrushed history might be emulated by Netflix, if we are to judge by their news release for an upcoming documentary on Nation of Islam founder Louis Farrakhan, scheduled to air in August.

The documentary’s title, “The Honourable Louis Farrakhan: My Life’s Journey Through Music,” indicates that its focus will be on his former career as a calypso singer and what Netflix calls “faith-based family-values.”

But Farrakhan’s actual “values” involved a black version of Hitler’s racist ideology, in which Farrakhan replaces Hitler’s “superior” Anglo-Saxon race with a black one that is superior to the white race. In his demented version of history, the white race was the creation of an “evil black scientist” 6,600 years ago.

Inmates Deliver Brutal Prison Justice to Jihadist Wanting to Murder Children

/0 Comments/in , /by

. . .As such, it was no great surprise to learn that a convicted terrorist who had threatened violence against the young royal prince in the United Kingdom received a bit of “prison justice” from unknown assailants who were incarcerated with him.

According to The U.K. Sun, a 32-year-old self-proclaimed follower of the Islamic State group was allegedly assaulted in prison and slashed with a makeshift knife by at least one other inmate who has yet to be identified by authorities.

That terrorist’s name is Husnain Rashid and he is currently serving three concurrent life sentences after he confessed to three counts of “engaging in conduct in preparation of terrorist acts,” as well as a four-and-a-half year sentence for “encouraging terrorism” among jihadists, according to the Sun.

Rashid initially ran into trouble after he shared images online of the 4-year-old Prince George of the British royal family family next to an anonymous jihadist fighter with a message that read: “Even the royal family will not be left alone.” . . .

According to the U.K. Daily Star, Rashid was attacked on Wednesday, June 25, by at least one other inmate at the Manchester Strangeways prison who used a toothbrush with a blade attached to it to slash a huge gash on or near Rashid’s right ear, likely due to his threats against the young prince.

Man Changes Gender on Birth Certificate for Cheaper Car Insurance

/0 Comments/in , /by

Members of the transgender community are angry over a Canadian man’s move to legally change his gender to female on his birth certificate and driver’s license in order to get cheaper automobile insurance, the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation reported.

While the 24-year-old Alberta man — referred to as “David” by CBC News to protect his identity — said he made the gender switch to save just over $1,000 annually on insurance, some transgenders said it was “stunt” that “cheapens” their cause. . .

It used to be that Albertans had to produce a doctor’s note to switch gender markers on their personal documents, the CBC said. But in June the government halted that requirement for adults, which opened the door to simply mark their genders as M, F or X — the latter being for those who don’t fit into male or female binaries, the network said. . .

While “David” told the network he didn’t mean disrespect to the trans community and only wanted to save money, Marni Panas isn’t sympathizing.

“Whether he says, ‘I didn’t mean to do harm to the trans community,’ is irrelevant because the impact is very real to a community that is already quite vulnerable,” Panas, a transgender woman, told the CBC. “And he lied, so that really speaks to this person’s integrity. I certainly would question this person’s motives. It ends up being a big stunt.” (Read more from “Man Changes Gender on Birth Certificate for Cheaper Car Insurance” HERE)

Police Under Fire for Fatal Shooting of Black Man; New Report Reveals Suspect Shot at Officers

/0 Comments/in , /by

Leftist activists, with help from the media, have attempted to frame the fatal police shooting of an armed convicted felon, who happens to be a black male, fleeing Minneapolis officers as racially motivated. But the released video footage from the June incident and a new investigative report from Hennepin County Attorney Mike Freeman reveals that the felon shot at officers before he was fired at. . .

In the released footage of the incident, suspect Thurman Blevins is shown in possession of a firearm. “I don’t know the exact seconds of shots, but as Blevins’ gun comes around you’ll see he fired, it hits the pavement in the alley, the round hits the pavement right in the direction of Officer Kelly,” explained Mr. Kroll, according to KMSP News.

This assertion is backed up by an investigative report that revealed a bullet casing from Mr. Blevins’ gun was recovered. “One brass cartridge case was recovered near Mr. Blevins’ body (later determined to have been fired by Mr. Blevins’ gun),” says the report. . .

“The Federation maintained from the start that the officers’ actions during this incident were heroic. The body camera footage exemplifies this,” he said. “The officers did exactly what the public expects them to do. They responded to a 911 call of someone shooting a gun. They located the suspect, gave numerous orders for him to comply, pursued the suspect as he fled. They were forced to fire at the suspect only after he pointed a gun and fired at the officers. The officers deserve Minneapolis Police Department’s highest award, the Medal of Honor, and they deserve the respect of the population they are sworn to protect.”

Trump Launches Religious Freedom Task Force to Undo Another Obama Legacy

/0 Comments/in , /by

On Monday, Attorney General Jeff Sessions announced the formation of a Religious Liberty Task Force to protect the conscience rights of Americans from being violated by government regulations.

“Today I am announcing our next step: the Religious Liberty Task Force, to be co-chaired by the Associate Attorney General and the Assistant Attorney General for the Office of Legal Policy—Jesse and Beth,” Sessions said at a Department of Justice Religious Liberty Summit.

“The Task Force will help the Department fully implement our religious liberty guidance by ensuring that all Justice Department components are upholding that guidance in the cases they bring and defend, the arguments they make in court, the policies and regulations they adopt, and how we conduct our operations. That includes making sure that our employees know their duties to accommodate people of faith,” he explained.

The formation of this task force follows an October memo from Sessions broadly directing the Department of Justice to make accommodations to protect religious liberty. In his remarks, Sessions warned of “dangerous” anti-religious sentiments in the country threatening the rights protected by First Amendment.

“A dangerous movement, undetected by many, is now challenging and eroding our great tradition of religious freedom. There can be no doubt. This is no little matter. It must be confronted and defeated,” Sessions said.

“We have gotten to the point where courts have held that morality cannot be a basis for law; where ministers are fearful to affirm, as they understand it, holy writ from the pulpit; and where one group can actively target religious groups by labeling them a ‘hate group’ on the basis of their sincerely held religious beliefs.”

Sessions cited examples of Americans being forced by government to violate their conscience, notably “nuns ordered to buy contraceptives” — referencing the plight of The Little Sisters of the Poor — and the bigoted anti-Catholic questions asked by Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., of Judge Amy Coney Barrett at her confirmation hearing last September.

He said the Department of Justice will remain in contact with religious groups across the country to continue to improve its policies and respect religious liberty.

“This administration is animated by that same American view that has led us for 242 years: that every American has a right to believe, worship, and exercise their faith in the public square,” Sessions said.
