BERKELEY, Calif. (AP) - Officials at the University of California-Berkeley have backed down from a decision to censor the words of Emma Goldman, a fiery activist deported to Russia for her anti-war politics. Goldman's words stirred new controversy this month when an official at the University of California-Berkeley censored some of her quotes from a fund-raising letter sent out by the Emma Goldman Papers Project, a campus archive. In an e-mail sent to the campus community over the weekend, Berkeley Chancellor Bob Berdahl said the center can use whatever Goldman quotes it wants in the future. Berdahl said he does...

Pennsylvania Republican senatorial nominee Dr. Mehmet Oz told Fox News he will release his medical records to the public by Friday, challenging his opponent Democrat John Fetterman to follow his lead. Oz has repeatedly urged Fetterman to give Pennsylvanians an "honest" assessment of his health after he suffered a stroke in May, raising questions about his physical and cognitive fitness for office. In an appearance on "America Reports" Thursday, Oz pointed to an editorial published by the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette which called on both candidates to release their medical records to reassure voters and address skepticism about Fetterman's ability to properly...

A former "Jeopardy!" champion and prominent Twitter leftist stated that the death of a pro-Trump protester and military veteran on Wednesday was "one of the few good things that happened as a result of the Capitol 'protest'" and that people should "feel less bad than you do about putting down a rabid animal." Ashli Babbitt, a 14-year veteran of the Air Force, was apparently shot by Capitol Police amid protesters breaking into the Capitol building, reported The New York Post. "Ashley [sic] Babbitt feeding the worms is one of the few good things that happened as a result of the...

Full title: California Doctor Declares In “Study” That Murdering A Child’s Younger Siblings Is Good For His “Developmental Milestones” Among women who seek an abortion but are denied it, more than 90 percent choose to keep and raise the child rather than place it for adoption. What is life like for these children? We compared children born after their mothers were denied abortions to the next children born to women who received abortions. Writing in JAMA Pediatrics, we showed that children born to women who were denied abortions fared worse. They were more likely to live in households where there...

If Tom Arnold was ever relevant, he’s working overtime to recapture that nanosecond. And his tactics are brilliant: act like a petulant baby. He was belligerent during his interview with Megyn Kelly, and quite combative during a recent sit-down with Ben Shapiro. Most recently, Arnold has been recorded being a complete jerk to Gosnell star Dean Cain, using politics as an excuse to smear and yell at him. During a guest slot on Larry King’s show, Arnold ran into Cain and things got a little heated to say the least. This was their first meeting since a prickly social media...

The Republican Party has clashed with Planned Parenthood (PP) on a level that would equal any MMA death match. Republicans argue against funding PP because the organization is the principal source for abortions in the country and it is against the law to use federal funds for the procedure. PP argues it provides a multitude of services to 2.5 million different women and the money is used for services other than abortion. The Republicans miss the best reason to argue against funding PP. If you go to the PP website, you will see that the services they speak to are...

WASHINGTON (AP) -- The Republican in line to head the Senate Judiciary Committee pledged Sunday not to stall the president's judicial nominees even if they oppose abortion rights. The White House expressed confidence its choices would get a fair hearing. Sen. Arlen Specter, a moderate from Pennsylvania who backs abortion rights, said he has supported judicial nominees in the past who do not agree with the Supreme Court's 1973 Roe v. Wade decision that legalized abortion. "The fact is that I have supported all of President Bush's nominees in committee and on the floor. I have never applied a litmus...

July 18, 2004 LIVES When One Is Enough By AMY RICHARDS as told to AMY BARRETT I grew up in a working-class family in Pennsylvania not knowing my father. I have never missed not having him. I firmly believe that, but for much of my life I felt that what I probably would have gained was economic security and with that societal security. Growing up with a single mother, I was always buying into the myth that I was going to be seduced in the back of a pickup truck and become pregnant when I was 16. I had friends...
