Ob-Gyn: No, The Dobbs Decision Does Not Put Women’s Lives In Danger

/0 Comments/in , /by

. . .As a board-certified ob-gyn, I’ve delivered more than 5,000 babies and walked alongside thousands of women experiencing difficult pregnancies, including women facing life-threatening complications. Modern medical advances mean we don’t have to choose between the mother and her baby, even in dangerous pregnancies. . .

The use of abortion in the case of a life-threatening pregnancy complication typically involves a dilation and evacuation (D&E) procedure, more commonly referred to as a “dismemberment” abortion. In contrast, true medical care seeks to save both the unborn baby and the mother.

Sometimes, it’s necessary to deliver a baby preterm, and sadly the baby doesn’t always survive. But my goal is always to save both the young unborn child and the mother. If the baby is not able to survive, the compassionate and best thing to do is to deliver the baby in a medically standard way (such as induction or C-section), so the mother is able to hold her child and grieve her loss. That’s the compassion and dignity that the medically unnecessary act of abortion robs a mother.

The American Association of Pro-Life Obstetricians and Gynecologists affirms: “Ectopic pregnancy is a dangerous condition that requires that the pregnancy end.” As soon as it’s diagnosed, physicians will treat an ectopic pregnancy because the mother’s life is at risk, a routine obstetric procedure that is not jeopardized by Dobbs.

This is lifesaving medical care. It is not an elective abortion. (Read more from “Ob-Gyn: No, the Dobbs Decision Does Not Put Women’s Lives in Danger” HERE)

Joe Biden Rages at ‘Extremist’ Supreme Court; Admits Democrats Do Not Have the Votes to Make Abortion Legal Nationwide; Democrats Set off Fireworks Across Social Media With Explicit Tweet About Holiday Weekend ‘Mourning’

/0 Comments/in , /by

By Breitbart. President Joe Biden on Friday again expressed his outrage at the Supreme Court’s decision to overturn Roe v. Wade and pleaded for Americans to elect more Democrats in November.

“I share the public’s outrage at this extremist court,” Biden said, describing the Supreme Court’s ruling last week as a “tragic” and a “terrible, extreme decision.”

The president held a video conference call with Democrat governors to discuss the importance of preserving the “right” for women to abort their unborn children. In the past week, Biden has been under fire from leftist Democrats and pro-abortion activists who are displeased by his lack of fervor on the issue.

Biden again vowed to do “everything within the power of the federal government” to protect the right for women to seek abortions in other states but said that it was up to Congress to pass a law to make abortion legal across the United States.

“Ultimately, Congress is going to have to act to codify Roe into federal law,” Biden said. “As I said yesterday, the filibuster should not stand in the way of us being able to do that, but right now we don’t have the votes in the Senate to change the filibuster at the moment.” (Read more from “Joe Biden Rages at ‘Extremist’ Supreme Court; Admits Democrats Do Not Have the Votes to Make Abortion Legal Nationwide” HERE)

Democrats Set off Fireworks Across Social Media With Explicit Tweet About Holiday Weekend ‘Mourning’

By New York Post. A local Arizona Democratic Party deleted a tweet that promoting an event called “F–k the Fourth.”

The event, which the now-deleted tweet said was being hosted by the Tucson Women’s March, was promoted by the Pima County Democratic Party on Twitter.

“F–k the Fourth. See you at Reid Park,” the tweet stated. . .

Karrin Taylor Robson, a Republican candidate for governor in Arizona, tweeted in response to the event that “This sickens me,” adding the event is an example of “the modern Democrat Party in a single tweet.”

“There it is – the modern Democrat Party in a single tweet. Arizona patriots will gather w/ friends/family on Independence Day to celebrate our nation’s birth & honor those who sacrificed for our freedom. But these Democrats will be doing something very different. Shameful,” Robson said.

Liberals Are Wrong. Emergency Pregnancy Treatments Remain Legal After Roe.

/0 Comments/in , /by

States will not prevent life-saving treatment for pregnant women post-Roe v. Wade, contrary to claims from liberal media outlets and politicians.

Democratic politicians including President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris, along with left-leaning media outlets like the New York Times, have said the Supreme Court’s decision to overturn Roe may endanger or kill pregnant mothers. “I don’t mean to sound alarmist, I mean this: Women will die,” Harris said in a recent interview. Daily Beast columnist Wajahat Ali said women will have to ask themselves, “Do I abort this ectopic pregnancy to literally save my life or do I go to jail?”

While the overturn of Roe has either outlawed or severely restricted abortion in at least 11 states, each include exceptions to save the life of the mother in medical emergencies. Nevertheless, Democrats are hyping these concerns over pregnant mothers’ safety, and abortion advocates are spending millions of dollars to rally supporters before the 2022 midterms. Biden reminded his party last week before the Dobbs decision that “Roe is on the ballot”

The Texas “heart beat” bill, which prohibits abortion after six weeks of pregnancy, states that removal of an ectopic pregnancy does not constitute an abortion. Louisiana’s law prohibiting abortion after 15 weeks includes exceptions for ectopic pregnancies and other medical emergencies, along with the Ohio, Kentucky, Missouri, Arkansas, and Wisconsin abortion bills.

Treatment for ectopic pregnancies, where the unborn baby develops outside the uterus, is not abortion, said Dr. Christina Francis, a board-certified OB-GYN and associate scholar at the Charlotte Lozier Institute. She said women will receive the same treatment for life-threatening conditions as when Roe was in effect. (Read more from “Liberals Are Wrong.

State Moves to Restrict Transgender Surgeries for Minors

/0 Comments/in , /by

Alabama is moving to prohibit transgender medication and surgeries for minors just days after the landmark Supreme Court case overturning Roe v. Wade.

The state is among the first to cite Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization to argue for banning sex-change surgery for minors, according to the Associated Press. Alabama Attorney General Steve Marshall’s office is asking for the 11th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals to lift an injunction to allow Alabama to enforce a state law making it a felony to give puberty blockers or hormones to minors, arguing transitioning for minors is not a constitutional right or “deeply rooted in our history or traditions.”

Early this spring, Alabama’s state legislature passed a bill criminalizing sex-changing procedures for minors in the state, which was then signed by Gov. Kay Ivey (R) before a federal judge issued a preliminary injunction blocking the measure.

Alabama could be at the forefront of other states pursuing a similar course of action. Last week, the Texas GOP adopted a platform that included support for banning transgender medication and surgery for minors, along with forbidding “Drag Queen Story Hour” events at Texas schools and libraries.

Predator R. Kelly Sentenced to 30 Years in Sex Trafficking Case

/0 Comments/in , /by

. . .R. Kelly, the Grammy-winning singer and pinnacle of ’90s pop stardom, was slapped with 30 years in prison Wednesday for sexually abusing women and underage girls and boys over the course of decades.

The fallen “I Believe I Can Fly” singer did not react as US District Judge Ann Donnelly issued the stiff sentence after listening to statements from seven victims during an hours-long hearing in Brooklyn federal court.

“With every addition of a new victim, you grew in wickedness,” said one woman, Angela. “You used your fame and power to groom and coach underage boys and girls for your own sexual gratification.”

Kelly, 55, whose full name is Robert Kelly, was convicted on nine charges, including racketeering and violating the Mann Act, which bars interstate transportation of women and girls for “immoral purposes.”

Prosecutors portrayed him as a serial predator over several decades who used his fame to exploit his victims, and asked the judge for a sentence of more than 25 years. (Read more from “Predator R. Kelly Sentenced to 30 Years in Sex Trafficking Case” HERE)

Judge Blocks Texas Trigger Law From Going Into Effect, Rules Abortions Can Proceed

/0 Comments/in , /by

A Texas county judge sided with abortion providers and temporarily blocked the enforcement of a pre-Roe v. Wade law Tuesday, allowing clinics to perform abortion procedures in the state.

The Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade, allowing a dormant 1925 law that outlawed abortion in Texas to take effect, according to Reuters. However, a Harris County judge halted the enforcement of the law.

With Roe overturned, Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton demanded that the 1925 law be put back in place and enforced across the state, Reuters reported.

“Prosecutors may choose to immediately pursue criminal prosecutions based on violations of Texas abortion prohibitions predating Roe that were never repealed by the Texas Legislature,” Paxton said in a statement Friday. “Although these statutes were unenforceable while Roe was on the books, they are still Texas law.”

Fearing prosecution under the 1925 statute, Texas abortion clinics filed a lawsuit Monday pleading for a temporary restraining order to block the application of the preexisting ban. (Read more from “Judge Blocks Texas Trigger Law From Going Into Effect, Rules Abortions Can Proceed” HERE)

Why Democrats Oppose Emancipation for the Unborn

/0 Comments/in , , /by

The end of Roe v. Wade is perhaps the greatest political and cultural event in a generation. It will change American politics forever, and — what’s more important — it will save the lives of countless unborn children. The Supreme Court’s decision in Dobbs is a great victory for the U.S. Constitution, for the American people, and for justice and truth and the common good.

It is also a turning point. We should now expect Democrats and the left to call more explicitly for violence, initially against places like crisis pregnancy centers and Catholic churches, as we have already seen, and eventually against ordinary people who disagree with them. We should expect not just calls for physical attacks against the justices in the Dobbs majority, but, as we have also already seen, attempts to carry out such attacks.

This violence will likely be accompanied by rhetoric that more explicitly posits abortion not just as a positive good — “shout your abortion” — but a necessary one for women to enjoy their full rights as citizens under the Constitution. The argument, already gaining steam in public discourse, is that without a constitutional right to kill the unborn, women are relegated to a kind of second-class status, stripped of their full humanity. This rhetoric will be used in part as a justification for violence, but it also reflects the actual views of Democrats and the left on abortion.

Indeed, the very first paragraph of Justice Stephen Breyer’s dissent in Dobbs makes this claim: “Respecting a woman as an autonomous being, and granting her full equality, meant giving her substantial choice over this most personal and most consequential of all life decisions.” Note the phrase “full equality.” Without a right to abortion, women do not have full equality, goes the argument.

It is not the first time Democrats have asserted absolute constitutional rights that for their vindication require the total abnegation of rights or even personhood of entire classes of people. The modern Democratic Party’s stance on abortion rights is almost indistinguishable from its antebellum stance on the constitutionality of slaveowner rights.

Woke Nurse Resigns After Tweeting About Not Wanting to Prescribe Meds to White Males

/0 Comments/in , /by

A nurse who tweeted about her desire to deny medications for conservative, white males in response to the overturning of Roe v. Wade has since resigned from her position following online criticisms.

“I prescribe meds.. I can also choose not to prescribe them. So… from now on.. if you are a white male who votes conservative, your penis needs to ask God for the power to rise. No more Viagra,” user @shawnalynn_75 tweeted on Friday.

The user, who has since deleted their account, worked at the Sarah Bush Lincoln Health Center, which is located in Coles County, Illinois. Following public outcry, the health center released a statement condemning the post and said they would look into the matter.

Judge Blocks State’s Abortion Ban From Going Into Effect

/0 Comments/in , /by

Orleans Parish Civil District Judge Robin Giarrusso granted a temporary restraining order Monday that blocks Louisiana’s abortion ban from going into effect after the U.S. Supreme Court’s Friday decision that sent abortion lawmaking back to state legislatures.

Hope Medical Group for Women, an abortion clinic in Shreveport, Louisiana, filed a petition after the SCOTUS decision activated the state’s “trigger law,” making abortion illegal in the state, reported KPLC.

The Center for Reproductive Rights (CRR) worked with Boies Schiller Flexner LLP and Ellie Schilling to represent the abortion clinic, according to the outlet.

Giarrusso granted a temporary restraining order of the enforcement of the abortion ban allowing Lousiana clinics to continue performing abortions without fear of violating the state law banning abortion, KPLC reported.
