Free Republic

Arguing that it did, the Casey Court went much further still, making the claim that “liberty” included abortion and much else besides. It became one of the most infamous passages in the entire history of SCOTUS jurisprudence: “At the heart of liberty is the right to define one’s own concept of existence, of meaning, of the universe, and of the mystery of human life.” Thus, Casey was about so much more than abortion. It offered an understanding of liberty that made the individual the arbiter of everything, including the meaning of the universe. It was the most radical principle of...

Russian forces have withdrawn from Ukraine's Snake Island, a strategic outpost in the Black Sea, Russia's defence ministry and Ukraine's president's office said on Thursday. "KABOOM! No Russian troops on the Snake Island anymore. Our Armed Forces did a great job," Andriy Yermak, head of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy's office, wrote on Twitter. Russia's defence ministry confirmed Russian troops had withdrawn from Snake Island, calling it a "goodwill gesture"

Maya Hawke says she 'wouldn't exist' had her mother Uma Thurman not made the decision to get an abortion in her late teens. The actress, 23, spoke on the subject during Tuesday's episode of The Tonight Show in wake of the Supreme Court's recent overturning of Roe v. Wade. 'Both of my parents' lives would've been totally derailed if she hadn't had access to safe and legal health care — fundamental health care,' she explained to host Jimmy Fallon. Thurman shares Maya, as well as son Levon Roan, 20, with ex-husband Ethan Hawke, 51. She is also mother to daughter...

The Captain Tom Foundation is being investigated over concerns about the charity's management and independence from the late veteran's family. The Charity Commission opened a case into the charity in March 2021, just a month after Sir Tom's passing, and began reviewing the set-up of the organisation. The watchdog has now launched an inquiry after becoming concerned about arrangements between the charity and a company linked to Sir Tom's daughter, Hannah Ingram-Moore, and her husband Colin. Concerns were also raised about the trustees' decision-making and how the charity was governed. Sir Tom was propelled into the limelight during the COVID...

A post is going viral online as it seeks to explain why girlfriends are angry with their boyfriends after the controversial overturning of Roe v. Wade. The Supreme Court's (SCOTUS) decision on Friday to strike down the 49-year-old ruling that legalized abortion nationwide has sparked waves of protest across the country, as trigger laws in certain states made abortions illegal. Amid the fallout, a post on Reddit is going viral for seeking to explain why girlfriends are mad at their boyfriends following the ruling. A post, entitled "My GF is mad at me about Roe v Wade," has amassed more...

Republicans and other conservative groups are undertaking a huge effort to recruit election workers, a push that could install people with unfounded doubts about the 2020 election in key positions in voting precincts where they could exert considerable power over elections. At the forefront of this push is Cleta Mitchell, a lawyer who was on Donald Trump’s legal team in 2020 and played a key role in his effort to overturn the election. Over the last few months, Mitchell has held “election integrity summits” in several battleground states, convening groups and citizens who continue to believe the 2020 election was...

CNN)Kollene Dunn's abortion a few months after the Supreme Court's 1973 Roe v. Wade ruling saved her family, she said. Dunn learned she was pregnant from a date rape and her mind quickly raced to her two young children, she told CNN. The single mom realized she did not have the economic means to support a third child on her income as a secretary. "Roe v. Wade saved me and my two children," said the resident of Otis, Oregon. "My life would have been so different had I not been able to get a legal abortion." Dunn, now 79, fears...

Chelsea Clinton, the only child of former US president Bill Clinton and ex-secretary of state Hillary Clinton, has described feeling “full of incandescent rage” following the Supreme Court ruling on abortion rights in the United States. The Supreme Court last week ended constitutional protections for abortion that have been in place for nearly 50 years by deciding to overturn the landmark Roe v Wade ruling. Anti-abortion campaigners have hailed the move, while the pro-choice lobby have opposed it. US President Joe Biden described it as “a tragic error” and urged states to enact laws to allow the procedure. On Wednesday...

Halsey had a fiery response to fans who left their concert in Phoenix, Arizona on Sunday after the singer gave a passionate speech about abortion rights on stage. On Monday, the 27-year-old hitmaker - who goes by the pronouns she/they - replied to a follower who tweeted that the 'amount of people' who walked out of Halsey's show at the Ak-Chin Pavilion amphitheater following her remarks was 'sickening'. 'downside of doing outdoor venues: no door to hit them on the way out,' Halsey wrote, adding a hand waving emoji. In a video from the concert shared by Twitter user @stephxvg,...

Australians living in the United States have been left shocked by the Supreme Court's decision to overturn the 1973 Roe v. Wade ruling - with some even considering a move back Down Under. The landmark decision had recognised Americans' constitutional right to abortion and legalised it nationwide. But as of last Friday, federal protection for abortion in the US is removed, meaning the decision of abortion legality is in the hands of the states. Australians both at home and living in the US shared their reaction to the news. Freelance writer Sophie Hanson, who moved to New York City in...

As pro-abortion radicals rioted and attacked pro-lifers in the wake of the Supreme Court overturning Roe vs. Wade, the network newscasts mostly looked the other way. They offered scant coverage and repeatedly insisted that the last several days have been “mostly” or “largely” peaceful. MRC analysts looked at every morning and evening newscast on ABC, CBS and NBC, from Friday night (the day of the Supreme Court ruling) through Wednesday morning. In all that time, they allowed 120 seconds to discussing the numerous examples of attacks against pro-life individuals and organizations. Here are just some of the violence that has...

"Dr. Zev Zelenko, a board-certified Family Physician who saved thousands of lives during the COVID pandemic, is in critical condition and was transferred to the ICU this week. According to The Yeshiva World, Dr. Zelenko has been battling a serious case of progressive cancer for some time. In a recent video, he announced that a tumor had been found on his heart’s upper right ventricle, with a blood clot sitting above the tumor. In 2020 Dr. Zelenko developed a protocol that included prophylaxis, early intervention, and treatment of high-risk patients with COVID-19. His treatment plan included zinc, low-dose hydroxychloroquine, and...

“Who hath ascended up into heaven, or descended? who hath gathered the wind in his fists? who hath bound the waters in a garment? who hath established all the ends of the earth? what is his name, and what is his son's name, if thou canst tell” (Proverbs 30:4).

GOP Rep. Liz Cheney delivered a searing rebuke of former President Donald Trump and GOP leaders at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library Wednesday night, recounting some of the damning details that the House select committee investigating January 6, 2021, has uncovered thus far and praising the bravery of witnesses – particularly the young female aides – who have come forward to aid its investigation. “We are confronting a domestic threat that we have never faced before – and that is a former President who is attempting to unravel the foundations of our constitutional Republic,” said Cheney, the vice chair of...

They always told the men, since Roe, that they should not have sex if they don't want children. Well, the Supreme Court has given equality to the women.

Podcaster Joe Rogan says he’s a fan of Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R), arguing the governor’s tenure in The Sunshine State would help boost a potential presidential bid. “I think Ron DeSantis would work as a good president,” Rogan said on an episode of his podcast this week when asked who he might want to see run for the White House in 2024. “I mean, what he’s done for Florida has been admirable.” The podcast host particularly praised DeSantis’s handling of COVID-19, an issue that has sparked fierce pushback at times among critics. “I feel like what he did for...

Believe it or not, overturning Roe v. Wade may not be the Supreme Court’s most dramatic decision this year. Instead, its ruling on West Virginia v. the Environmental Protection Agency could prove far more consequential. It could literally upend how our government works. West Virginia vs. the EPA asks whether important policies that impact the lives of all Americans should be made by unelected D.C. bureaucrats or by Congress. This SCOTUS could well decide that ruling by executive agency fiat is no longer acceptable. The case involves the Clean Power Plan, which was adopted under President Barack Obama to fight...
