FRANKFORT - Kentucky's Democratic governor has vetoed abortion legislation pushed by Republican lawmakers. The bill would have given the state's Republican Attorney General Daniel Cameron authority to regulate abortion clinics and the power to suspend abortions as an elective procedure during the coronavirus outbreak. Another part of the vetoed measure would have required doctors to provide life-sustaining care for an infant born alive after a failed abortion attempt. The measure cleared the legislature in the waning hours of this year’s legislative session. As a result, lawmakers won’t have an opportunity to override Governor Andy Beshear’s veto. In a statement on...

FRANKFORT, Ky. (KT) – Gov. Andy Beshear vetoed Senate Bill 9 on Friday, saying that Kentucky law already fully protects children from being denied life-saving medical care and treatment when they are born. ... House Speaker David Osborne said he was “outraged and saddened over the decision to veto a bill aimed at protecting human life” and Attorney General Daniel Cameron called it "reprehensible." “Make no mistake, the governor had a choice and he used it to defend the indefensible,” Osborne said. “The Born Alive Act simply requires physicians and other health caregivers to provide life-saving medical care to infants...

This is my first “Breaking News” post. As a newbie on FR I hope this post helps me understand the thought process of other members of this forum. I ran across this poll on FaceBook which has been posted in several FaceBook groups that I follow. I think it is worded well but has very few responses so far. It is early Friday morning. lol My purpose for posting it here in Breaking News is that I think Face Book will pull it if the votes don’t produce the intended results I don’t know if a FaceBook account is required...

It is becoming more clear to me everyday that Marco Rubio does not have what it takes to win broad support from grass roots conservatives.. He is completely ignoring 2 other candidates in the Republican Primary. One of whom I am publicly supporting. Dr. William Escoffery But this thread is not so much about Dr. Escoffery as it is about Marco Rubio himself... there are way too many "issues" with Marco Rubio, not the least of which is the fact that he is completely avoiding any contact/debate with the 2 other candidates in the GOP Primary, and we (as the...

Greeting fellow freepers. I am looking for any advice you can offer as I plan a family vacation to southern Germany. Looking at the end of November or first part of December. Not a lot of time to plan so I am open to all your input

click here to view my facebook picture album for this event Team Spartan takes the time to conduct combat lifesaver team internal refresher training during the Eid Ul-Fitr break. While our Iraqi counterparts are on vacation celebrating Eid ul-Fitr our team took this opportunity to conduct Combat LifeSaver training. I chose the youngest guy on the team to practice on me with the IV. As you can see the way we do needle sticks is a bit different from what you get in a hospital office. I don't think anyone on TEAM SPARTAN will ever make a good nurse.....

Gooh.comGoooh.meetup.comGoooh NATIONAL meetup groupYoutube 1 of 6 Tim Cox in Richmond [27 June 2009] My fellow FReepers, if you have not yet heard of GOOOH please take a few moments of your time to consider getting on board. As many of you know I am in favor of a STRONG 2-party system. I hesitated to get on board with GOOOH at first because I was not sure if doing so would be no different than joing a "3rd party" organization which I so strongly opposed in the past. In short I think this process can and will work for U.S....

I am a strong conservative who believes very strongly in a TWO-PARTY system of National Government -- MAJORITY/MINORITY -- One party leans to the left (liberal) and the other leans to the right (conservative) --- Having said that...... I AM NOT A REPUBLICAN ! -- I AM A CONSERVATIVE .. sorry for yelling.. but so many folks just don't get it... The Republican party has selected John McCain as it's nominnee for President in 2008.. For this I am DEEPLY saddened.. John McCain is one of the most LEFT LEANING Republicans in the party.. which basicly means that the Republican...

For the record I voted for Sarah Palin in the FR poll, but was disapointed that only 40% of FReepers agreed with me.. I would like to see a new FR poll asking how many FReepers are happy with Sarah Palin.. I bet it would be 90% ---- the same as her approval rating in Alaska.... and soon to be her approval in the USA !! On another note I wonder if anyone is making bumber stickers that say Vote for Sarah PALIN for VP... because come November that is what I will be doing... John McCain is tha “baggage”...

.............. AND ............. So there I was.... wondering what the "ideal" ticket would look like in the '08 Presidential race.. As many of you know from previous posts I was looking for a Duncan Hunter / Fred Thompson ticket. I later scratched Fred Thompson off my "dream team" list for reasons discussed in other threads, and have been "searching" for someone to put in the VP slot of my "wish list". Well Sarah Palin's name came up in a recent discussion, and I can't believe that I never thought about her as VP material before --- but after further considetation...
