Dems Reportedly Dumping Big Bucks Into Disturbing Abortion-Related Advertising

/0 Comments/in , /by

Democrats have funneled a massive amount of money into advertising that references the issue of abortion, pouring more than an estimated $124 million this year into TV ads that refer to the topic, according to the Associated Press.

Leftists are outraged that the U.S. Supreme Court returned to the states the authority to decide how to regulate the issue of abortion. A high court opinion released earlier this year declared, “The Constitution does not prohibit the citizens of each State from regulating or prohibiting abortion. Roe and Casey arrogated that authority. We now overrule those decisions and return that authority to the people and their elected representatives.”

AP — which noted that the estimated spending amounts are connected to an AP analysis of data supplied by AdImpact — reported that following the Supreme Court’s decision to overturn Roe v. Wade, about a third of TV ad spending from Democrats and their allies has pertained to abortion. . .

Democrats’ massive outlays for abortion-related TV ads this year through September 18 exceed the GOP’s national spending for ads pertaining to the economy, crime, and immigration, according to the outlet.

STD Epidemic in U.S. Is ‘Out of Control,’ Warn Experts, CDC

/0 Comments/in , /by

Sharply rising cases of some sexually transmitted diseases — including a 26% rise in new syphilis infections reported last year — are prompting U.S. health officials to call for new prevention and treatment efforts.

“It is imperative that we … work to rebuild, innovate, and expand (STD) prevention in the U.S.,” said Dr. Leandro Mena of the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in a speech Monday at a medical conference on sexually transmitted diseases. . .

And an international outbreak of monkeypox, which is being spread mainly between men who have sex with other men, has further highlighted the nation’s worsening problem with diseases spread mostly through sex.

David Harvey, executive director of the National Coalition of STD Directors, called the situation “out of control.”

Officials are working on new approaches to the problem, such as home-test kits for some STDs that will make it easier for people to learn they are infected and to take steps to prevent spreading it to others, Mena said.

Governor Announces New Abortion Website Attacking Republicans for Being Pro-life

/0 Comments/in , /by

Gov. Gavin Newsom (D-CA) announced the launch of a new website designed to take a stab at states who restricted abortion.

The website will feature information about abortion access and reproductive services in the state, in an attempt to make the state even more progressive and abortion-friendly.

It will make the procedure accessible “no matter where they live,” providing information about traveling to California to obtain an abortion in addition to information on “how, where and when” to access abortion in the state.

This comes hours after Sen. Lindsay Graham (R-SC) announced a new legislation for a 15-week national abortion ban.

“Make no mistake–Lindsey Graham’s new national ban on abortion is about controlling women,” Newsom said in response, adding “that’s their agenda. CA’s fighting back.”

/0 Comments/in , /by

The Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction is reportedly promoting transgender resources to preschool-aged children and their families.

According to an ABC-affiliated outlet KATU, the Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction (DPI) published a guide on its website titled “Resources for Gender Expansive Preschoolers,” which contains videos, websites, articles, and other content promoting being transgender to children.

Reportedly, one of the videos promoted by the DPI comes from the Human Rights Campaign and details the story of a “transgender” first grader in Wisconsin. In the video, the child’s mother says her kid was “going to transition from being a boy to a girl in first grade.”

Another video encourages children to challenge “gender stereotypes” regarding Halloween costumes. The video shows two children, a boy and a girl, going trick-or-treating with their parents. In the end, it is revealed that the young girl dressed up as Batman and the little boy dressed up as Wonder Woman.

Jill Biden Wants ‘All Books’ in Schools After Libraries Exposed Kids to Explicit Content

/0 Comments/in , /by

First Lady Jill Biden told NBC News Tuesday that “all books” should be in schools after libraries exposed students to explicit content.

The first lady said it is un-American to ban books in school libraries amid ongoing debate amongst parents on what content they want their children exposed to.

“All books should be in the library, all books,” she said. “This is America, we don’t ban books.” . . .

“I think with the pandemic, parents saw how hard teachers work and how difficult this job really is,” she said. “And I think if they work together in their school districts and decide what they want with their curriculum.”

Biden made the remarks following backlash school districts received after students were exposed to sexually explicit books, notably Fairfax and Loudoun County, Virginia. A mother complained to the school board of the Fairfax County Public Schools about two books featuring child pornography and pedophilia available for students as young as 12 years old in the library.

‘We Are Suffering’: Harris Unloads on ‘Activist’ Supreme Court — And Casts Doubt on Its ‘Integrity’

/0 Comments/in , /by

Vice President Kamala Harris said that the Supreme Court is an “activist” court after the reversal of Roe v. Wade.

Harris made the comments during an interview with NBC’s “Meet the Press.”

“I think this is an activist court,” Harris said. “We had an established right for almost half a century, which is the right of women to make decisions about their own body as an extension of what we have decided to be, the privacy rights to which all people are entitled.”

Harris went on to say that the Supreme Court “took away” the right for women to make decision about their body and added “we are suffering as a nation because of it.”

While previously being “inspired by people like Thurgood Marshall” and others on major Supreme Court cases such as Brown v. Board of Education of Topeka, the current actions of the court makes her have “great concern about the integrity of the court overall.” (Read more from “‘We Are Suffering’: Harris Unloads on ‘Activist’ Supreme Court — And Casts Doubt on Its ‘Integrity'” HERE)

Christian Family Adoption Agency Not Required to Offer Services to Unmarried or Same-Sex Couples: Judge

/0 Comments/in , /by

A federal judge ruled Wednesday that a New York-based Christian family services agency won’t have to provide adoption services to unmarried or same-sex couples.

New Hope Family Services — a 60-year-old nonprofit adoption and temporary-foster-placement agency and pregnancy resource center in Syracuse — filed a federal lawsuit against the New York State Office of Children and Family Services in 2018 after officials told the faith-based agency to revise its “discriminatory and impermissible” policy or shut down the adoption program.

U.S. District Court Judge Mae A. D’Agostino in Albany wrote that New Hope succeeded on the merits of its First Amendment claim against the state.

New Hope Family Services Executive Director Kathy Jerman said every child deserves a home with a “loving mother and father who are committed to each other.”

“It’s regrettable that New York ever threatened to shut down our adoption services, through which we have placed more than 1,000 children with adoptive families since we began as an adoption agency in 1965,” Jerman said. “We live in a diverse state, and we need more adoption providers, not fewer.” (Read more from “Christian Family Adoption Agency Not Required to Offer Services to Unmarried or Same-Sex Couples: Judge” HERE)

Pro-Life Democrat Says Party Pressured Him to Suspend Campaign for Pro-Abortion Opponent

/0 Comments/in , /by

A Democratic candidate for North Dakota’s only open House seat suspended his campaign on Sunday after pressure from his party to step aside for a pro-abortion candidate.

Mark Haugen, a pro-life Democrat, shared his resignation announcement on Twitter. He told local outlets that he “doesn’t see a viable path forward to winning the race” for North Dakota’s seat in the U.S. House of Representatives. A pro-abortion candidate, former Miss America Cara Mund, recently entered the race last month.

“When the Supreme Court decision came out, that further kind of solidified that there may be some issues here with my candidacy. I’ve been pro-life since the 1990s. I never hid it. I ran for the Legislature in 1996,” Haugen told local outlet KFYR. He added that he received several phone calls from Democrats asking him to consider pulling out of the race, especially after Mund announced her candidacy in recent weeks.

KFYR noted that Mund is running as a pro-abortion Independent and must submit 1,000 signatures to the Secretary of State’s office to qualify for the November ballot. (Read more from “Pro-Life Democrat Says Party Pressured Him to Suspend Campaign for Pro-Abortion Opponent” HERE)

Teacher Sent to Jail After Refusing to Use ‘Gender-Neutral’ Pronouns

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Enoch Burke, a school teacher in Ireland, was banned from his school over his refusal to use the pronoun “they” for a student, then arrested for returning Monday, according to the Irish news website RTE.

Wilson’s Hospital School suspended Burke from teaching while he underwent a disciplinary process for refusing to use the preferred pronouns of a student who identifies as transgender, which he said would violate his Christian beliefs, and a court issued an injunction temporarily barring him from teaching, according to RTE. Burke returned to the school anyways, and he was arrested and taken to prison.

“I am a teacher and I don’t want to go to prison,” Burke said, according to the New York Post. “I want to be in my classroom today, that’s where I was this morning when I was arrested … I love my school, with its motto Res Non Verba, ‘Actions not words,’ but I am here today because I said I would not call a boy a girl.”

He was initially suspended Aug. 24, and the court order came down Friday after he continued attending school anyways, according to RTE. He defied the court order blocking him from teaching Monday and told the court that it would violate his conscience to obey it.

Burke said in court that he loves his students and the subjects he teaches and that he didn’t want to go to prison, but he couldn’t violate his conscience by participating in the child’s gender transition process, according to RTE.
