Planned Parenthood: ‘We Need a Disney Princess Who’s Had an Abortion’

/0 Comments/in , /by

By Life Site News. A Planned Parenthood affiliate in Pennsylvania called for a Disney princess who not only supports abortion, but who has had one.

“We need a disney princess who’s had an abortion We need a disney princess who’s pro-choice,” read a tweet from Planned Parenthood Keystone’s official Twitter account, published Tuesday morning. It has since been deleted, but a screenshot of the tweet is preserved below.

The message also calls for a transgendered Disney princess, as well as “union worker” and “undocumented immigrant” princesses.

Planned Parenthood Keystone has not referenced the tweet or its deletion on its Twitter account as of the time of this writing, and neither it nor the national organization replied to the Wrap’s request for comment.

Planned Parenthood Called for Disney Princess ‘Who’s Had an Abortion’ in Now-Deleted Tweet

By USA Today. A Planned Parenthood branch in Pennsylvania called for the Walt Disney Co. to create an animated princess “who’s had an abortion” in a since-deleted tweet posted Tuesday.

Planned Parenthood Keystone, a branch of the health service provider based in Trexlertown, Pa., tweeted that, “We need a disney princess who’s had an abortion / We need a disney princess who’s pro-choice / We need a disney princess who’s an undocumented immigrant / We need a disney princess who’s actually a union worker / We need a disney princess who’s trans”.

The tweet’s construction riffed on a recently popular Twitter meme that imagines new animated princesses with traits serious and not. The non-profit Internet Archive’s Wayback Machine — which archives snapshots of sites across the web — shows it stored six captures of the tweet on Tuesday. Planned Parenthood’s national office confirmed the tweet and its deletion in an email to USA TODAY.

“Today, we joined an ongoing Twitter conversation about the kinds of princesses people want to see in an attempt to make a point about the importance of telling stories that challenge stigma and championing stories that too often don’t get told,” said Melissa Reed, Planned Parenthood’s president and CEO. “Upon reflection, we decided that the seriousness of the point we were trying to make was not appropriate for the subject matter or context, and we removed the tweet.”

The tweet triggered a slew of feedback online from users replying to a now-vanished post. Some took screenshots of the tweet before its deletion.

Chemotherapy-Free ‘Cancer Vaccine’ Moves From Mice to Human Trials

/0 Comments/in , /by

By SF Gate. A recent Stanford cancer study that cured 97 percent of mice from tumors has now moved on to soliciting human volunteers for a new cutting-edge medical trial.

The trial is part of a gathering wave of research into immunotherapy, a type of treatment that fights cancer by using the body’s immune system to attack tumors.

“Getting the immune system to fight cancer is one of the most recent developments in cancer,” Dr. Ronald Levy, a Stanford oncology professor who is leading the study, told SFGATE. “People need to know that this is in its early days and we are still looking for safety and looking to make this as good as it can be.”

The treatment is not a true vaccine that creates lasting immunity, but it does feature a vaccine-like injection carrying two immune stimulators that activate the immune system’s T cells to eliminate tumors throughout the body.

Each test subject receives a low dose of radiation plus two rounds of the injected agents, Levy said. No chemotherapy is involved. (Read more from “Chemotherapy-Free ‘Cancer Vaccine’ Moves From Mice to Human Trials” HERE)

Breast Cancer Patients May Avoid Chemo in Future Thanks to Innovative Study by Royal College of Surgeons

By DublinLive. A study from Ireland’s leading medical college has suggested that future cancer patients could avoid chemotherapy using a mathematical formula.

Researchers at the Royal College Of Surgeons say they have come up with the formula, which could predict how chemo would affect patients with an aggressive form of breast cancer.

The RCSI’s Jochen Prehnd saod: “At the moment the only form of drug treatment available to patients with triple-negative breast cancer is chemotherapy. (Read more from “Breast Cancer Patients May Avoid Chemo in Future Thanks to Innovative Study by Royal College of Surgeons” HERE)

Twice Deported Illegal Alien Accused of Raping Teen Released by Sheriff Without Reporting to ICE

/0 Comments/in , /by

By Bizpac Review. An illegal alien accused of raping a young girl was allowed to walk out of a county jail without notification to immigration authorities.

Anastacio Eugenio Lopez Fabian, 24, faced several charges related to sexual relations with a girl under 14 years old, and was ultimately detained by ICE despite a lack of cooperation from a Washington sheriff’s office, the Daily Astorian reports.

Lopez was charged with two counts of second-degree rape, three counts of third-degree rape, fourth-degree assault, and harassment for alleged relations with a minor beginning in 2016.

Police arrested him in February, but he was released the same day after posting $25,000 bail.

On the day Lopez arrived for a hearing at Clatsop County Circuit Court, ICE was on the scene and detained him, transporting him to Northwest Detention Center in Tacoma. (Read more from “Twice Deported Illegal Alien Accused of Raping Teen Released by Sheriff Without Reporting to ICE” HERE)

Suspect Deported Twice Before Alleged Rape of Underage Seaside Girl

By The Daily Astorian. He has been charged with two counts of second-degree rape, three counts of third-degree rape, fourth-degree assault and harassment. A mandatory minimum sentence of more than six years in prison applies to second-degree rape convictions.

ICE detained him in the courthouse parking lot as he arrived for a hearing. He is in custody at the private Northwest Detention Center in Tacoma, Washington, according to the federal agency’s records. Fabian was deported to Guatemala in 2013 and 2014, according to a statement from ICE spokeswoman Carissa Cutrell, who also said the Clatsop County Sheriff’s Office did not alert the agency of his most recent arrest . . .

Sheriff Tom Bergin said the timing and coordination of Fabian’s initial arrest and release did not allow for his office to notify the agency.

“He posted bail, so there’s not much we can do unless ICE notifies us, which it didn’t,” Bergin said. “ICE puts out a blanket statement every time they do these things because they want to cover their butts. Believe me, we want to hold these guys.”

The federal agency criticized the county last year for not adhering to its requests to detain undocumented immigrants. Bergin pointed to a U.S. District Court case in Portland in which a judge ruled in favor of a woman detained by ICE at a Clackamas County jail, claiming the Fourth Amendment protected her against unreasonable search and seizure.

Melania’s Response to Stormy Daniels’ ‘Salaciaous Gossip’ Is Every Bit as Classy as You Would Expect

/0 Comments/in , , /by

By Bizpac Review. . .Melania Trump spokeswoman Stephanie Grisham responded on behalf of the First Lady to allegations that President Trump had an affair with porn star Stormy Daniels in 2006, writing that the Slovenian-born former model is “focused on being a mom,” NBC News reports.

The First Lady notably stayed out of the fray. Grisham told NBC News “She’s focused on being a mom and is quite enjoying spring break at Mar-a-Lago while working on future projects.”

In a tweet, Grisham, likely alluding to Stormy Daniels’ Sunday night interview on “60 Minutes,” reproved the mainstream media for its coverage of “salacious gossip” and asked journalists to keep the First Couple’s 12-year-old son, Barron, “out of” the news.

The White House also responded to the “60 Minutes” interview, in which the adult film star claimed she was threatened with physical harm if she went public with her story.

“With respect to that interview I will say the president strongly, clearly and has consistently denied these underlying claims and the only person who has been inconsistent is the one making the claims,” the Washington Examiner quoted deputy press secretary Raj Shah at Monday’s press briefing.

Stormy Daniels to ’60 Minutes’: I Was Threatened in 2011 Over Telling My Trump Story

By NBC News. Adult film star Stormy Daniels — who has said in a lawsuit that she had an “intimate” relationship with Donald Trump a decade before he became president — said in an interview airing Sunday night that she was threatened in 2011 inside a Las Vegas parking garage with her infant daughter present and was told not to go public with her story.

In a wide-ranging interview with CBS’ “60 Minutes” — its highest-rated broadcast in 10 years, since an interview with Barack and Michelle Obama in 2008, the network said Monday — Daniels, whose real name is Stephanie Clifford, said the threat came weeks after she’d agreed to tell her story to a sister publication of InTouch magazine — an interview that didn’t run at the time.

“I was in a parking lot, going to a fitness class with my infant daughter. Taking, you know, the seats facing backwards in the backseat, diaper bag, you know, getting all the stuff out. And a guy walked up on me and said to me, ‘Leave Trump alone. Forget the story,'” Daniels said, according to a transcript of the interview.

“And then he leaned around and looked at my daughter and said, ‘That’s a beautiful little girl. It’d be a shame if something happened to her mom.’ And then he was gone,” she added. (Read more from “Stormy Daniels to ’60 Minutes’: I Was Threatened in 2011 Over Telling My Trump Story” HERE)

‘Gender-Neutral’ Preschools Teach Boys to Wear Dresses

/0 Comments/in , /by

By Life Site News. Many government-funded Swedish preschools are “gender-neutral” and teach youngsters to reject their natural inclinations toward masculine or feminine activities, instead requiring them to do activities usually associated with the opposite sex.

“A preschool’s approach to gender has now become a common question before enrollment,” the New York Times reported in a profile of these schools. Swedish teachers “are doing what they can to deconstruct” gender.

Since 1998, state curriculum has required teachers to “counteract traditional gender roles and gender patterns.”

Schools go about this in different ways, largely based on their leadership. Many Swedish children begin going to these programs when they are just one year old.

At the dawn of this massive social experiment, “Boys and girls at the preschools were separated for part of the day and coached in traits associated with the other gender. Boys massaged each other’s feet. Girls were led in barefoot walks in the snow, and told to throw open the window and scream.” (Read more from “‘Gender-Neutral’ Preschools Teach Boys to Wear Dresses” HERE)

In Sweden’s Preschools, Boys Learn to Dance and Girls Learn to Yell

By The New York Times. Something was wrong with the Penguins, the incoming class of toddlers at the Seafarer’s Preschool, in a wooded suburb south of Stockholm.

The boys were clamorous and physical. They shouted and hit. The girls held up their arms and whimpered to be picked up. The group of 1- and 2-year-olds had, in other words, split along traditional gender lines. And at this school, that is not O.K.

Their teachers cleared the room of cars and dolls. They put the boys in charge of the play kitchen. They made the girls practice shouting “No!” Then they decided to open a proper investigation, erecting video cameras in the classroom.

. . .The dramatic surveillance video shows the SUV crashing into the Dallas store and unfortunately ramming into the owner and knocking her into a wall.

CBSDFW-TV reported that there were three employees, but it was the owner who was struck and lifted in the air. Amazingly, she wasn’t hurt at all . . .

Friends of the owner said that she was not upset over the damage – the store was scheduled to undergo a corporate-mandated makeover, and now the insurance would be paying for it instead of the owner.

Christian Couple Fined for Refusing Gay Marriage on Their Farm Comes up With Perfect Solution

/0 Comments/in , /by

In 2012, Cynthia and Robert Gifford, a Christian couple who owned a farm in upstate New York where marriage receptions were often held, politely refused to hold a gay marriage on the premises when a lesbian couple targeted their farm as their venue of choice . . .

But now, the Giffords have created the perfect response to the whole unfair situation: they inform anyone who wants to hold a wedding on their property that they will donate a percentage of their profits to organizations that champion traditional marriage in America.

As Faithwire reports: “Displayed at the bottom of each page in the ‘Weddings’ section of its website is a clearly marked disclaimer that reads”:

At Liberty Ridge Farm, our deeply held religious belief is that marriage is the union of one man and one woman, and the Farm is operated with the purpose of strengthening and promoting marriage. In furtherance of this purpose and to honor and promote our moral and religious beliefs, we donate a portion of our business proceeds to organizations that promote strong marriages such as the Family Research Council. The patronage of all potential clients for all services offered is welcome regardless of race, creed, color, national origin, sexual orientation, military status, sex, disability or marital status. All couples legally permitted to marry in the state of New York are welcome to hold their wedding at Liberty Ridge Farm. We serve everyone equally.

Muslim Parents Arrested for Nearly Killing Daughter for Refusing Forced Marriage. Can You Guess What Country This Happened In?

/0 Comments/in , /by

By The Daily Wire. The parents of a 16-year-old Iraqi girl, Maarib Al Hishmawi, were arrested Friday for allegedly beating, choking, and burning their daughter after she refused to agree to a forced marriage.

This happened not in Baghdad or Mosul or Basra, but in San Antonio, Texas.

The Bexar County Sheriff’s Office reported that Abdulah Fahmi Kala Al Hishmawi, 34, and Hamdiyah Sabah Al Hishmawai, 33, beat their daughter with broomsticks, threw hot oil on her, and choked her “almost to the point of unconsciousness” when she resisted the marriage, which apparently would have paid the parents $20,000.

Sheriff Javier Salazar said that, beginning in 2017, Maarib’s parents were engaged in marriage talks with an adult man from another city.

The beatings continued for as long as Maarib refused her parents’ demand. In order to stop the violence, she reportedly told her parents she would marry the man.

Runaway Local Teen Was Abused With Hot Oil, Broomsticks for Refusing Arranged Marriage

By My San Antonio. A 16-year-old Iraqi girl who went missing in January has been found, but her parents are now facing child abuse charges.

Bexar County Sheriff Javier Salazar said Maarib Alhishmawi, who was found in mid-March, told Child Protective Services of abuse at the hands of her parents. She told authorities that her parents poured hot cooking oil on her and hit her with broomsticks when she objected to an arranged marriage . . .

The sheriff said Maarib had been safely in the care of another organization while she was missing. He did not name the group.

Maarib and her five siblings, who are between 5 and 15 years old, are now in CPS care, Salazar said. He said it is unknown at the moment if the other siblings have also been abused.

Officials said the family had been in the United States for two years on visas. The type of visas not immediately known. (Read more from “Runaway Local Teen Was Abused With Hot Oil, Broomsticks for Refusing Arranged Marriage” HERE)

‘Landmark’ Pro-Life Bill Signed by Governor, Strips Planned Parenthood of Power

/0 Comments/in , /by

Idaho will now require that the facts regarding health complications caused by abortions be shared with the public.

On Thursday, Republican Gov. C.L. “Butch” Otter signed into law state House Bill 638, which creates a new reporting system.

As of July 1, abortion providers must report a woman’s age, race, how many children she has, if any of those children have died and how many abortions she has had previously, according to Fox News.

“We believe this is landmark legislation because, in coming years, we will be able to learn how abortion affects women and girls in both the short-term and long-term,” pro-life group Idaho Chooses Life said in statement.

“For the first time we will not be dependent upon Planned Parenthood or the FDA to tell us what they want us to hear.”

“It is rather shocking to realize that, some 45 years into the Roe v. Wade era – virtually everything we think we know about abortion and its impact on women comes from the abortion industry. Not exactly an unbiased source,” the group said after the bill was passed by the state senate.

The state would publish the data annually, but withhold identifying information, The Associated Press reported.

In addition mandating that direct medical complications be reported to the Idaho Department of Health and Welfare — including infection, blood clots and hemorrhaging — the state also requires providers to report whether women suffer from depression, anxiety and sleeping disorders.

State Rep. Greg Chaney, a Republican, said the bill was necessary because Idaho had no legislation requiring providers to share this information with the public.

“Idaho currently has no enforceable requirement that complications be reported, and the scant reporting that does occur is from abortion providers only; this is a challenge since many complications are treated by emergency room doctors or primary care doctors–and not the abortion providers,” read a statement on his website.

The bill’s text notes that, “Surgical abortion is an invasive procedure that can cause severe physical and psychological complications for women, both short-term and long-term.”

The legislation said that its purpose was “to promote the health and safety of women by adding to the sum of medical and public health knowledge through the compilation of relevant data on all abortions performed in the state, as well as on all medical complications and maternal deaths resulting from these abortions.”

The impact of the new law, and Otter’s efforts, were summarized by Idaho Chooses Life on its blog.

“It takes a lot of folks to make a victory like this possible. And it takes the Lord’s kindness and blessing, without whom we could do nothing,” the group said.

“There are many reasons to be joyful in thanksgiving over this victory. But here is an important one: The Governor has completed his time in office with a perfect pro-Life record. He has finished the race and will leave behind him a tremendous pro-Life legacy,” the group added.

“We predict his stellar pro-Life record will be his greatest, long-term contribution to the well being of Idaho and its citizens. There is no doubt that Butch Otter has helped save lives that would otherwise have been wasted through abortion – and that number will continue to increase long after he leaves office.” (For more from the author of “‘Landmark’ Pro-Life Bill Signed by Governor, Strips Planned Parenthood of Power” please click HERE)

NFL Team Donates Plane for March for Our Lives Pro-Gun Control Rally

/0 Comments/in , /by

. . .The owner of the New England Patriots gave his support to Saturday’s #MarchforOurLives pro-gun control rally by lending the team’s official plane to students and families in Parkland, Fla. who wanted to attend the Washington, D.C. event, the Boston Globe reports.

Stacey James, a spokesperson for the team, told the Globe that the families of some of the victims of last month’s school shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School, along with some students who were injured, were flown to the nation’s capital on Thursday.

James said Kraft made the decision to support the protest after being contacted by former Arizona congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords and her husband, Mark Kelly . . .

“Not only did their friends and teachers get shot and killed, other friends shot and injured . . . most of them, they had bullets flying over their heads,” Kelly told the Washington Post . . .

The students and family members will be flown back at the conclusion of the rally Saturday. According to the Globe, neither Kraft, who has said he is a Trump supporter, nor any Patriots team members were on the flight.
