Yang as a kind and compassionate person, which makes her death...

A new Washington Post article criticized Catholic hospitals this week for providing health care to all Americans including unborn babies, prompting one prominent abortion activist to demand that they shut down. Jill Filipovic, a writer and abortion activist, said Catholic hospitals should “not be in business” or receive tax dollars to serve Medicaid and other low-income patients if they refuse to do abortions. “The religious affiliation of a hospital should not dictate healthcare. If Catholic hospitals refuse to offer a basic standard of reproductive care, they should not be in business — and certainly shouldn’t be getting government resources or...

The Empire State's latest gun-control law was dealt another setback in federal court today. Judge John Sinatra of the Western District of New York, a Trump appointee, found the state's total ban on licensed gun-carry inside places of worship is unconstitutional. He issued a temporary restraining order (TRO) against the provision to go into effect immediately and remain in effect until he decides on a request for a preliminary injunction. Judge Sinatra said the state's gun ban in churches violates the Second Amendment rights of New Yorkers...

On Thursday afternoon, EWTN’s White House correspondent Owen Jensen asked the president if he supported any restrictions on abortion. “Mr. President, should there be any restrictions on abortion at all?” Jensen asked, immediately before the president boarded Marine One.

With less than three weeks to go before Election Day, Republicans hold an expanding 5-point lead over Democrats when voters are asked who they intend to vote for in their congressional districts this November. Republicans held historic leads in the Generic Ballot until the summer, when the key metric tightened. Support for Republicans on the Generic Ballot has risen to 48.4%, up from 42.5% in the pre-Labor Day survey conducted just before September. Meanwhile, Democrats ticked only marginally higher from 41.2% to 43.3%. “That 5-point lead has the potential to grow as the late-deciders are demographically friendly to the Republican...

GREENSBORO, N.C. — National Republican Senatorial Committee Chairman Rick Scott (Fla.) says Republicans will likely control 52 Senate seats next year and have a pathway to a 55-seat majority, given how recent polls show GOP candidates picking up momentum. Scott is voicing a more confident view of the Nov. 8 midterm elections than Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.), who has predicted the battle for the Senate will be “really close either way” and that whatever party wins is likely to control a very narrow majority.

Good evening fellow Freepers. I wanted to make this post to see if anyone else out there, who got infected with Covid-19, has experienced Post-COVID-19 Fatigue Syndrome (PCFS). Basically, I've been experiencing fatigue, dizziness, vertigo, nausea, and like symptoms since Feb when I was hospitalized for Covid-19 and pneumonia. My doctor's office said it's just allergies but they are big time pharma endorsers and heed whatever the medical establishment tells them. Hence, I'm also looking for a new doctor (central Indiana if anyone knows of a good doctor!). I have been researching this online but we all know how search...
