April 24, 2020 (LifeSiteNews) – Abortion defenders routinely insist that late-term abortions are unheard of for anything but the most heart-rending medical emergencies, but a notorious late-term abortionist admits otherwise in a recently-unearthed video. This week, the group Abortion on Trial published a video of an October 2019 deposition given by New Mexico abortionist Curtis Boyd in the wrongful death suit filed by the family of one of his “patients,” Keisha Marie Atkins. In it, Boyd says it’s his “calling” to provide “full-range, first, second, and third-trimester” abortion services. “There’s no set period” in terms of the gestational age at...

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) said on Monday that the Senate will return to the Capitol next week — and he outlined GOP priorities for a fifth coronavirus relief bill. “Senators will return to Washington D.C. one week from today. We will modify routines in ways that are smart and safe, but we will honor our constitutional duty to the American people and conduct critical business in person," McConnell said in a statement. "If it is essential for doctors, nurses, healthcare workers, truck drivers, grocery-store workers, and many other brave Americans to keep carefully manning their own duty stations,...

Planned Parenthood leader Alexis McGill Johnson slammed pro-life lawmakers’ efforts to protect unborn babies as “unconscionable” Monday in an interview with Democracy Now. Johnson is the acting CEO of the largest abortion chain in America. Planned Parenthood aborted nearly 346,000 babies last year while reaping in $1.6 billion in revenue. Though abortions are unnecessary, life-destroying procedures, Johnson referred to them as “healthcare” in her interview with the left-wing news program. She criticized pro-life Texas Gov. Greg Abbott and others for including elective abortions in their temporary bans on non-essential healthcare during the coronavirus pandemic. Planned Parenthood is suing many of...

After being forced to abandon their excavation in March after just eight days because of coronavirus, the team led by the Centre's Dr. Michela Gaudiello decided to use a drone to help with their research. Today, only large, several-meter stone pillars on the top of the hill towering over the surrounding area remain on the surface after the medieval church in Debre Gergis ('Georgios Monastery'). Dr. Gaudiello said: "The locals know that there was once a Christian temple in this place, but due to the poor condition it is not known exactly in which period it was built and what...

WASHINGTON — House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., said Monday that Democrats will push for a vote-by-mail provision in Congress’ next coronavirus relief package. In an interview with Stephanie Ruhle, Pelosi said that it’s important to protect the “life of our democracy” as the coronavirus crisis continues. It’s unclear when Congress will consider another aid measure since lawmakers are now back in their districts. Lawmakers last week passed another relief bill to re-fund the Paycheck Protection Program and to send more money to hospitals. And as some states begin to reopen their economies, Pelosi said Monday that officials must think about...

OK, here is something to look into. On the Larry King show video, it starts with Reade's mother calling in to ask a question. But what was the show about in the first place to prompt the question? And why did King remark to one of the guests that this was why she did what she did. Was the show about sexual harassment or sexual harassment in the workplace??? I think this is relevant because one of the Dem's Talking Points, or Lying Points, is that the caller only said "problems" and did not specify sexual harassment. But, if the...

On Sunday's Velshi show, MSNBC host Ali Velshi provided liberal film makers Michael Moore and Jeff Gibbs a forum to plug their new film, Planet of the Humans, which promotes an alarmist view that humans are damaging the planet, and actually hits environmental groups from the left, charging that they do not go far enough. Moore suggested that the coronavirus pandemic is a "warning from Mother Nature" that "our behavior is not appreciated," and pushed for less energy consumption. Gibbs warned that "perpetual economic growth" is "essentially suicide." The bulk of the film is devoted to making the argument that...

As New York state continues its aggressive antibody testing, the latest results released by Gov. Andrew Cuomo show that 24.7 percent of people tested in New York City tested positive for having had the virus, with 14.9 percent testing positive across the state. A quarter of New York City’s 8.6 million residents translates to about 2.1 million people, a staggering number considering the city has thus far confirmed only 158,000 cases. The good news is that it may be possible for those who test positive for antibodies to resume more normal activities as they may not be at risk, or...

The liberal media has gone to bat for fellow liberal and Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates against “conspiracy” theories regarding the coronavirus that started in Wuhan, China. But recent comments from Gates on CNN's Fareed Zakaria GPS shilling for the Chinese government may have just made that mission to insulate the billionaire a bit harder. In his questioning of Gates, CNN Host Fareed Zakaria said: “You've been making this case for international cooperation very powerfully and in my mind persuasively. There is right now in Washington a very different mood, which is to say far from cooperating with the second largest...
