Kohl's has become the latest retailer to receive backlash for catering to the 'woke crowd' after shoppers slammed their LGBTQ+ apparel for infants. The onesies with the LGBTQ+ pride flag on them, specifically tailored to June, which is known internationally as Pride Month, have even sparked calls for a store boycott. One Twitter account put it succinctly: 'Looks like another company needing Bud-lighting!'

MOSCOW, May 10 — President Vladimir V. Putin today directed the Russian Parliament to adopt a 10-year program to stop Russia's sharply declining population, principally by offering financial incentives and subsidies to encourage Russian women to have more children.Mr. Putin's instructions, issued to a compliant Parliament that follows his orders almost without fail, formed the center of his annual address, and signaled a new Kremlin priority to confront a problem that demographers and scholars have warned endangers the long-term future of the Russian state.Instead, he took up the cause of fertility. "I propose a program that would promote the birthrate,...

Very interesting projection.

BOSTON — “Pregnancy resource centers” are becoming increasingly prevalent in Massachusetts, outnumbering abortion providers 3-to-1 as these anti-abortion women’s health care centers push back against abortion rights advocates. Last month, Massachusetts Citizens for Life launched the Pregnancy Care Alliance of Massachusetts, a coalition of nonprofit anti-abortion organizations, to support the mission of so-called pregnancy resource centers statewide. The coalition, composed of eight anti-abortion organizations and 20 Massachusetts centers, was formed in response to targeted legislation by municipal and state governments. The network plans to launch public awareness campaigns that could include billboards and radio spots in an effort to combat...

The World Health Organization issued an alert Wednesday, indicating that there was an "increase in severe myocarditis in neonates associated with enterovirus infection in Wales" between June 2022 and March 2023. The UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) confirmed the report, noting that a "higher than average number of cases" of enterovirus had been seen in "very young babies" in the fall and winter months, reported the Telegraph. The biggest spike in myocarditis cases occurred in November. The International Committee on Taxonomy of Viruses noted...

The court-mandated release of the documents related to what Pfizer and the FDA knew about the COVID-19 injections and when has unearthed evidence that they knew as early as April 2021 that the mRNA shots trigger adverse events (AEs) in breastfeeding babies.In the attempt to sell the COVID-19 vaccines to every man, woman, and child under the sun regardless of risk, age, underlying health conditions, etc., the corporate media claimed repeatedly, and continues to claim, that the vaccine was either not passed through the mother’s breast milk or, alternatively, that it was but it posed no risk to babies because...

Working from home may have meant having fun at home in 2021, which saw a US baby boomlet that was the first big reversal of declining birth rates since 2007, a new working paper by economists finds. This “baby bump” was among US-born women as opposed to foreign-born women and “was most pronounced for first births and women under age 25, which suggests the pandemic led some women to start their families earlier,” say the researchers from Princeton, Northwestern, and UCLA. “Above age 25, the baby bump was also pronounced for women ages 30-34 and women with a college education,...

Representative Nancy Mace (R-SC) told CBS News Thursday that the Republican Party’s stance on abortion will cost them votes in 2024. Mace said, “I think it’s going to mean more losses, and I don’t believe that my party has learned anything from 2022 from the midterms. We saw this issue rear its head after Roe was overturned. I was one of the few Republicans that was doing national media talking about and need to build consensus. I read multiple op-eds. I’ve done multiple interviews on the issue. I’m in a bellwether district, and I see the pulse of everyday Americans...

In a frantic scene at the border, dozens of babies and small children were thrown over the river that separates the US from Mexico in El Paso, Texas, as more than 1,000 migrants rushed the border Wednesday afternoon, the US Border Patrol confirmed. Exclusive photos captured by The Post show desperate parents throwing their children over the international boundary Wednesday — after rumors circulated on social media that they would be allowed entry into the US if they surrendered themselves to immigration agents. The false information spread on social media and caused a stampede, as frantic families with kids in...

It’s the perfect headline for the major media’s preferred narrative, which means two things: Nearly every outlet will pick it up, and it’s mostly bogus. “So many doctors are being driven away by Idaho abortion ban that this hospital can’t deliver babies anymore,” one headline about Bonner General in Bonner County, Idaho, declared. “Idaho hospital to stop delivering babies as doctors flee over abortion ban,” the Guardian said. “Near-total ban on abortions is driving doctors away, hospital says, leading to lack of nearby labor and delivery care for thousands.” The Today Show reported it this way: “Idaho hospital closes its...

The total population of United States citizen children born to illegal aliens now far exceeds one year of American births, a March analysis shows. The Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR) analysis estimates that about 5.4 million “anchor babies,” the term used to describe the U.S.-born children of illegal aliens who are awarded birthright citizenship, reside across the nation. This indicates that the anchor baby population now exceeds the annual 3.7 million U.S. births by about 1.7 million. Put another way, the number of anchor babies in the U.S. is twice that of Chicago, Illinois’s resident population. The last estimate...

January 22: Day of Prayer for the Legal Protection of Unborn ChildrenA great prayer for life is urgently needed, a prayer which will rise up throughout the world. Through special initiatives and in daily prayer, may an impassioned plea rise to God, the Creator and lover of life, from every Christian community, from every group and association, from every family and from the heart of every believer.

Since that time, millions...

The famous American work ethic helped the United States become the economic superpower of the 20th century. But experts warn the decision to prioritize careers over families has set the country on an irreversible path to economic destruction. The reason? People do not have enough children anymore. A baby boom in the mid-20th century saw the average woman give birth to between three and four children. Today, just 1.6 children - the lowest level recorded since data was first tracked in 1800. This could lead to economic devastation in America down the line - as the federal government would need...

Pfizer is set to ask US regulators to authorize its bivalent Covid vaccine for children under five - not as a booster but part of their initial shot regimen. Children aged six months through four years are already supposed to get three extra-small doses of the original Pfizer vaccine. If the Food and Drug Administration agrees, Pfizer's bivalent omicron-targeting vaccine would be substituted for their third shot. Few of the nation's youngest children have gotten their Covid vaccinations since the shots were OK'd in June: Just two percent of those under two and about four percent of two-to-four-year-olds have had...

During an appearance on FNC’s “MediaBuzz,” Daily Mail columnist Meghan McCain likened liberal backlash to Elon Musk’s purchase of Twitter to that of “babies.” McCain called the response a “little tantrum” from the left because of the shift of power. I’m addicted to Twitter, and I’ve been on since 2009. And I think if you work in media or interested in news, it’s a really powerful and useful space. There’s no doubt that a lot of people have been shadow banned on the right. And people have had their accounts taken away for innocuous things like, you know, saying, my...

The nation's highest court is currently unwilling to go beyond overturning Roe.WASHINGTON, D.C. (LifeSiteNews) – The U.S. Supreme Court has declined to hear a case challenging a radical Rhode Island abortion law, rejecting an opportunity to build upon the recent overturn of Roe v. Wade and affirm that the U.S. Constitution recognizes that unalienable rights begin in the womb. In September, Catholics for Life filed a petition with the Supreme Court along with two expectant mothers representing their unborn babies, challenging Rhode Island’s 2019 Reproductive Privacy Act (RPA), which codified the “right to abortion” as defined in Roe and deprived...
