An expansive study across more than 30 countries has confirmed that if prenatal testing is made readily available, the number of eugenic abortions will increase. Dr. Brian Skotko — director of the Down Syndrome Program at Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston and a Harvard-educated, board-certified medical geneticist, author, and public speaker — is one of the authors of the study. He is a leading researcher on Down syndrome and serves on the Honorary Board of Directors for the Massachusetts Down Syndrome Congress.

COPENHAGEN-Denmark's Prime Minister apologised in person on Wednesday (Sept24) to women who were victims of a decades-long involuntary birth control campaign, which has left islanders with deep scars and strained relations with their former colonial power. Thousands of women and girls as young as 12 were fitted with intrauterine devices without their knowledge or consent between 1966 and 1991, the year Greenland was given authority over its healthcare system... An investigation this month showed that 4,070 women had been fitted with intrauterine devices by the end of 1970-roughly every second Greenlandic-born woman of childbearing age. A large number of women...

California Gov. Gavin Newsom’s liaison to China is the daughter of a computer scientist building a genealogical database for the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) who has considerable ties to Chinese intelligence and military personnel, a Daily Caller News Foundation investigation discovered. Amy Tong has held multiple cabinet positions in Newsom’s administration, such as serving as the Government Operations Agency secretary, and is now listed as “senior counselor to the governor,” government records show. Newsom has repeatedly sent Tong to negotiate with CCP officials and Chinese intelligence personnel, and “appointed Tong to lead people-to-people exchanges with China,” according to a July...

The Rev. Kenneth MacArthur of Cambridge, Mass., has been selected by the American Eugenics Society as secretary of the committee to cooperate with clergymen in an effort to link the Church with the movement to improve the human race from the eugenic standpoint. "The modern Church increasingly conceives as its purpose the production of a better humanity, in individual and social relations,” said Mr. MacArthur. "Child allowances for families of superior clergymen will be promoted. It is hoped to interest denominational organizations and wealthy individuals and foundations in this subject. Investigations of the ancestry of the clergy, the effect of...

A Chinese scientist horrified the world in 2018 when he revealed he had secretly engineered the birth of the world's first gene-edited babies. His work was reviled as reckless and unethical because, among other reasons, gene-editing was so new and the technology's full risks were unknown. China imprisoned the scientist, He Jiankui, for three years for violating medical regulations. Fast forward to today: Mainstream scientific organizations are encouraging very careful basic research to explore gene-editing and human reproduction. But they still warn any attempts to create more genetically modified children anytime soon should remain strictly off limits. Now, however, Silicon...

A new Dunkin' Donuts ad has people on social media in a furor over "genetics" for the second time this week. The breakfast food franchise released a short spot for its new summer Refresher drinks on Tuesday featuring "The Summer I Turned Pretty" star Gavin Casalegno. During the 35-second ad, the actor credited his summer tan to his "genetics." "Why are ads so obsessed with genetics all of a sudden," one user commented on the ad on TikTok, getting nearly 28,000 likes for the post. In the ad, Casalegno sat near a swimming pool holding his Dunkin' Golden Hour Refresher...

The National Park Service has taken down an exhibit at Muir Woods National Monument that aimed to tell a more complete history of the site, SFGATE has learned from a former park ranger who helped to develop the exhibit. It’s the first confirmed removal of what the Donald Trump administration has referred to as “improper ideology” under a directive from Interior Secretary Doug Burgum issued earlier this year.

While the Southern Baptist Convention held its annual convention, another Baptist group gathered in the shadows of the event. Baptist Women in Ministry, a national organization dedicated to “advocating for the full affirmation of women in ministry and leadership in Baptist life,” met nearby in a United Methodist church where they criticized motions and amendments trickling out of the meeting. Two of the speakers were Meredith Stone, Executive Director of BWIM and interim teaching pastor at Calvary Baptist Church in Waco, Texas, (An SBC Church) and Allison Beth Barr, a prominent progressive egalitarian and historian at Baylor University, who we’ve...

Zohran Mamdani, the young democratic socialist who has been rising in the mayor’s race, is now ahead of Andrew Cuomo with just two weeks until the Democratic primary, a new poll reviewed in full by POLITICO found. The survey, conducted by Public Policy Polling for Democrat Justin Brannan’s city comptroller campaign, found Mamdani beating Cuomo 35 percent to 31 percent — a difference that is narrowly within the 4.1 percent margin of error. Cuomo has been the constant frontrunner since his March 1 entrance into the race to oust Mayor Eric Adams, with most publicly released polls showing him with...

New York City mayoral front-runner Andrew Cuomo vowed to lead the fight against President Trump, but bizarrely pledged to “spend eight years in Washington” in a bid to help Democrats retake the House. The former governor told Politico he planned to wage the national campaign against the Trump administration — even though the president’s second and final term would come to a close in 2028, or three years into the next mayor’s tenure. “I would spend eight years in Washington — go to that US Conference of Mayors, go to the National Governors Association,” Cuomo said as he detailed his...

Even by the madcap standards of New York City mayoral races, the 2025 campaign for City Hall looks like a doozy. The election’s most unanticipated elements are the surprise surges of former New York governor Andrew Cuomo—who survived short-lived political exile to become the race’s frontrunner—and his chief rival, Queens socialist and state assemblyman Zohran Mamdani. One of Cuomo’s big bets is on Jewish voters. Anti-Semitism, Cuomo declared in early April, is his campaign’s “most important issue . . . the toughest issue facing the city of New York and the country.” He’s made fighting the city’s anti-Semitic outbreak central...

One of the great tragedies, among many, of New York Governor Andrew Cuomo’s attempt to use the Wuhan virus as a way of getting federal dollars to fill an $6 billion in his state budget was his decision that nursing home residents were expendable. In March, as Cuomo and his braintrust were running about like beheaded chickens shouting about models and Italy, his administration issued an order that required nursing homes to accept hospital patients recovering from Wuhan virus even if those patients were still contagious. The ostensible reason was moving recovering patients to nursing homes freed up hospital beds...

There really is no justice in this country. That moron Emmet Sullivan is making a mockery of the law vis-a-vis Michael Flynn, obama and biden appear poised to dodge culpability on their plot to overthrow Trump and the Hudson Houdini Andrew Cuomo will likely escape prison once again. Andrew Cuomo has been wrong about the CCP virus- wrong about everything. He was wrong about the number of ventilators and wrong about the number of hospital beds needed, but worst of all he was dead wrong when it came to the elderly. On May 5, Cuomo said"How much is a human...

Darren Beattie, the State Department’s acting undersecretary for public diplomacy and public affairs, is being criticized for some alarming statements he has posted on social media regarding sterilization and population control. The Independent reported on numerous odd and even disturbing social media posts authored by Beattie — some less than one year ago. In 2021, he wrote, “Interesting moral universe we live in where abortion is celebrated, but the notion of giving smart people incentives or cash to start families is so far out of overton window no sitting politician of either party would dare advocate it.” He repeated a...

Dr. R. Mark Musser shows the result of a non-biblical worldview that was inherent within National Socialism wherein elements of radical environmentalism, veganism, green sustainability, euthanasia, eugenics, transhumanism, and Social Darwinian biology and ecology all played a very surprising role in what otherwise became known as the Holocaust.

A Republican-led congressional committee sent a letter Monday to Attorney General Pam Bondi re-upping its referral of former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo for prosecution, accusing him of lying during testimony before the panel as it was investigating the pandemic. The House Oversight Committee, chaired by Rep. James Comer, R-Ky., had referred its accusations regarding Cuomo to the Department of Justice last year under the Biden administration. The DOJ, then led by Merrick Garland, did not publicly respond to the committee’s referral. In it, the committee accuses Cuomo of lying when he testified that he was not involved in the...

WASHINGTON — House Republicans have asked Attorney General Pam Bondi to charge former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo for making “criminally false statements” to Congress, citing “overwhelming evidence” that an audit he presided over had low-balled nursing home deaths during the COVID-19 pandemic. The House Oversight Committee re-upped the criminal referral after then-Attorney General Merrick Garland declined last year to prosecute Cuomo for allegedly triggering, helping to draft and reviewing a July 6, 2020, report that undercounted the total number of deaths in senior care facilities by 46%. “Andrew Cuomo is a man with a history of corruption and deceit,...

Ex-Biden White House press secretary Jen Psaki's sister worked for nearly a decade at a radical non-governmental organization (NGO) that has raked in millions in taxpayer funding from the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID). Between 2013 and 2021, Stephanie Psaki, the younger sister of Jen "Circle Back" Psaki, was a high-ranking officer at the Population Council, a pro-abortion NGO formed from a conference of population control activists and several well-known eugenicists.. . "The abrupt closure of these projects leaves important research and technical assistance programs—and the people that would benefit from them—in jeopardy," the Population Council claimed. "For decades,...

A silver casket was wheeled to the front of a Brooklyn nursing home Sunday — and 6,500 copies of the cover of Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s new book were dumped into it in protest of his COVID-19 policies. The number of covers was equal to the roughly 6,500 people who have been reported killed by the coronavirus in nursing homes in the state — although the ralliers said they believe the figure is much higher. “My mother-in-law got COVID in an elder-care facility but died in a hospital, [so] her number does not count’’ in New York’s nursing-home tally, said Janice...
