The Supreme Court ruled Wednesday that the Trump administration acted within its authority when it expanded exemptions to the Affordable Care Act’s requirement for employers to provide insurance coverage that includes contraception.

Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden has affirmed his support of abortion “under any circumstance.” In the aftermath of the Supreme Court’s decision to strike down a Louisiana law requiring basic medical precautions in the event of abortion complications, he said, “Republicans in state legislatures will stop at nothing to get rid of Roe — and we have to be just as strong in our defense of it.” According to the former vice president, Republicans “are trying to get these laws appealed to the Supreme Court in the hope that Trump’s justices will vote to overturn Roe v. Wade. It’s wrong....

Roberts has destroyed any credibility the Court may have had. He’s a disgrace. https://t.co/h1UglAODkV— Mark R. Levin (@marklevinshow) June 29, 2020

Extremely disturbing content at the video link. I'll put the first minute of the audi transcript below. This researcher's information was presented in prior video and there was such public outcry, this had to be false etc., that the video channel excerpted the interview between Robert Kennedy Jr. and Dr. Theresa Deisher and presented background information to substantiate the prior video. Warning - it's so very disturbing. It really reads like a medical-ized practice of sacrificing babies to Satan. SICK.   00:01           Yeah, you know what's really alarming is 00:06           that lack of outcry over human babies...

5-4 vote. The split you expect.

Joseph Meaney, PH.D., speaking Friday in an interview on EWTN Pro-Life Weekly, said that the experiment gone wrong was predictable, because “science, as it emerges into new areas, makes a lot of mistakes.” WASHINGTON — In the wake of a gene-editing experiment gone wrong, the president of the National Catholic Bioethics Center said that the Church must stand firm against the unborn being “sacrificed on the altar of scientific research.” Medium’s science publication OneZero reported last week that scientists in the United Kingdom recently conducted an experiment where they deleted a gene from human embryos using the CRISPR technique. They...

It’s anyone’s guess as to how the Supreme Court justices will decide the current case regarding abortion. The media’s reaction, on the other hand, is an easy prediction. The Supreme Court is expected to issue its decision shortly on June Medical Services v. Russo. But as each day passes, many in the media, from The New York Times to The Cut, appear more worried that the ruling will block abortion access. The case challenges a 2014 Louisiana law that requires abortionists to obtain admitting privileges at nearby hospitals so that patients can be easily transferred for emergency care.Because admitting privileges...

The protesters lit the flag on fire before placing it in a garbage can and extinguishing the fire. "Do not despair. From destruction comes creation. Let us invoke a new world from these ashes," a woman dressed as Lady Liberty said. She then led a chant of, "What do we want? Justice. When do we want it? Now." . . Planned Parenthood did not respond to an email request for comment on the video.

Editor's Note: This piece was coauthored by Cynthia Collins, a Global Advisor to Operation Outcry. “It is 2020 and women can speak for themselves� is a common theme in the mainstream media of today.Nearly every time we turn on a television or scroll through social media, we are bombarded with this pro-feminist messaging. This year alone, there will be millions of dollars in political advertisement promoting this concept. Yet, the very same people are trying to say they speak for women in the Louisiana Unsafe Abortion Act case currently before the Supreme Court. Our answer is no, you do not....

Demonstrators who want to stop racism should switch from toppling old statues to facing active threats like "black genocide". Some governments pay Planned Parenthood to kill black babies with abortions so those governments won't have to deal with as many black adults in the future. Dr. Day Gardner points out that Planned Parenthood is a worse threat to black lives than the police and the Ku Klux Klan. "The KKK brutally killed about 3,500 black people since it began in 1865, [Margaret] Sanger’s Planned Parenthood is responsible for 19 million black deaths since 1973." Demonstrators should attempt to shut down...

President Donald Trump on Monday said he will issue an executive order designed to protect public statuary, as statues around the country have been torn down or defaced amid protests in recent weeks. The president spoke during an exclusive June 22 interview with Raymond Arroyo, host of EWTN’s “The World Over.” During the interview, Trump also spoke about the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program and an open letter written to him by former Apostolic Nuncio Archbishop Carlo Vigano… (more at link)...

With more than a dozen Supreme Court decisions still pending before the session is scheduled to close at the end of the month, it is looking more and more likely the term will be extended into July — a rare occurrence for the justices. ..... Some of the most eyed cases still pending include challenges on the power of congressional subpoenas, restrictions on abortion providers and tests to the limits of religious liberty. ...

The nation’s largest abortion provider, Planned Parenthood, regularly claims that Black Lives Matter. In that sense, they would do well to scrutinize their own organization – in more ways than one. On June 18, The New Republic reported on a “worker uprising” at Planned Parenthood’s largest affiliate: Planned Parenthood of Greater New York (PPGNY). Staff writer Melissa Gira Grant revealed a letter signed by hundreds of employees calling for the removal of CEO Laura McQuade, a “toxic leader and autocrat.” Among other issues, they complained of systemic racism, fiscal mismanagement, an unseemly response to COVID-19, and, in related letters, a disregard for...

The court in Hellerstedt ruled 5-3 to strike down a Texas law that required abortion-performing doctors to be authorized to admit patients at a nearby hospital. Roberts dissented on technical grounds from the majority, which said the Texas law was unconstitutional because its burden on a woman’s right to abortion outweighed any medical benefit. While Roberts’s vote was not decisive in the Texas dispute, he may hold the tie-breaking vote in the Louisiana case. What complicates matters is the fact that the Texas law that the court struck down in Hellerstedt is nearly identical to the Louisiana law now under...

A Virginia pro-life group wants to make sure the state Constitution doesn't open the door for unrestricted abortion. Olivia Turner, who heads the Virginia Society for Human Life, says Governor Ralph Northam (D) is on board with a move within the General Assembly to give first-round approval to a constitutional amendment that would guarantee a right to unfettered abortion. "The odds are very high that unless there is a huge outcry from the general public, the constitutional amendment to the Virginia Constitution allowing a right to abortion could, in fact, pass," Turner reports. "We don't have the votes to stop...

Abortions are expected to be prohibited in Tennessee after an unborn baby’s heartbeat can be detected under legislation passed early on Thursday. The bill, which passed the Senate 23-5 on a party line shortly after 12:30 a.m. Friday, according to the Tennessean, bans abortions after an unborn baby’s heartbeat can be detected and prohibits abortions if the doctors know that the mother is seeking an abortion based on sex, race or a diagnosis of Down Syndrome. ... The American Civil Liberties Union has promised to take the law to court. “As promised, we will see them in court,” said executive...

An outstanding 2:20 video of a black man taking the demoKKKrats to task for their pandering racism toward blacks in America. Give it 2 minutes and 20 seconds of your time. You won't be disappointed. Then share it with some libs.

The nation’s largest abortion provider regularly claims that it provides “life-saving” services while highlighting “pro-life” abortionists. But as it continues toying with double entendres, Planned Parenthood’s language appears less as a mere coincidence and more as a blatant mockery of the pro-life movement. The latest example came on June 15, when Planned Parenthood Action Fund, the abortion giant’s political arm, announced its endorsement of presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden as he challenges President Trump in the upcoming election. According to Planned Parenthood’s acting president, the November election will be a matter of “life and death.” Speaking with NPR, Alexis McGill...

The Department of Health and Human Services has finalized a rule that repeals Obamacare policy relating to access to abortion and gender identity. The new rule will define “sex discrimination� in terms of a person’s biological sex, rather than gender. The Obamacare rule defined “sex discrimination� as including discrimination regarding gender identity, which the rule defined as “one’s internal sense of gender, which may be male, female, neither, or a combination of male and female.” Anyone who requires a list to define their gender needs help — badly.Under the new policy, hospitals can decline to perform “gender transition surgery� as...
