Believe it or not, abortion wasn’t originally part of the women’s movement, and it wasn’t introduced to the larger women’s movement by women. Instead, it was introduced by two pro-abortion men who wanted to repeal abortion legislation: Bernard Nathanson and Lawrence Lader. Nathanson was a well-known abortionist who eventually renounced his pro-choice beliefs and his connection to abortion groups, exposing the lies he told with NARAL (which he helped to found) to legalize abortion. Lader’s role in the fight to legalize abortion began with Planned Parenthood founder Margaret Sanger and went all the way to the Supreme Court and the...

The “father of the abortion movement,” Larry Lader, was heavily influenced by Planned Parenthood founder Margaret Sanger, about whom he wrote a biography. Planned Parenthood was also steeped in eugenics from its beginning, and boasted a list of eugenics proponents as its board members. Although the two shared a eugenics ideology, Lader would eventually part ways with Sanger over abortion. But it was perhaps Sanger’s warped eugenic ideology that motivated Lader to manipulate the 1960s women’s movement to push for abortion legalization. Lader wasn’t interested in equal rights… just ‘abortion rights’ “Larry never seemed to be interested in the rest...

A relatively small web forum I am a member of is shutting down soon. There are a lot of posts on it I and other members would like to archive to HD for reference. Saving individual pages is VERY time consuming, and we only have until the end of the month. Do any of our FReeper computer guru's have any experience with this?

Life in the Inflated Apple got you down? According to a new study, the most affordable city in the country is barely a half day’s drive away — hours closer to home comforts than the current hotspots popular with fleeing New Yorkers. Say hello — and maybe move to — Pittsburgh. Currently boasting a median house price of $274,900, the mostly-former steel town remains comfortable with its blue collar roots, while also leaning into a uniquely quirky, artsy heritage — this is the birthplace of Andy Warhol and a training ground for a young Keith Haring, home of Fred “Mister”...

CHICAGO — A group of strangers who quickly befriended a man in Wrigleyville ended up robbing him early Saturday morning. The victim stepped out of his Uber on Clark Street, just south of Wrigley Field, when a group of two men and two women started chatting him up around 1:30 a.m., according to initial information. As the man walked home, his new friends tagged along, seeming quite friendly at first.

The Population Council, the eugenics organization credited with bringing the abortion pill (RU-486) to the United States, turns 65 this month — but it is nothing to celebrate. In 1952, John D. Rockefeller III founded the Population Council and served as the organization’s first president. According to the Rockefeller Foundation, the Population Council, Inc., was incorporated following Rockefeller’s Conference on Population Problems, “…to stimulate, encourage, promote, conduct and support significant activities in the broad field of population.” Like its founder, the Population Council’s other members were concerned about population issues — and, like other population organizations such as Planned Parenthood,...

Tense surveillance footage captures the moment a masked thief robbed a man at gunpoint inside the elevator of an East Harlem building late last month. The gunman approached the 21-year-old victim inside the residential building on First Avenue near East 124th Street, part of NYCHA’s Wagner Houses in East Harlem, around 11:20 p.m. May 28, cops said as they released video of the violent crime late Wednesday. The suspect, seen with a black face mask and wired headphones dangling from his ears, held a gun in one hand and appeared to grab the victim’s throat with the other, according to...

How do you respond to those who say that taking mifepristone is “safer than taking Tylenol?” Considered in terms of deaths per dose, it simply isn’t so. What you have here is a not-so-clever statistical sleight of hand. Advocates try to get you to compare the number of deaths from a relatively lightly used product with one that is used billions of times by people every year. We are told that about 150 American die from Tylenol use every year, usually by overdose or simply taking too much over an extended period of time. At the same time, the FDA...

For several years, Live Action News has researched and published the facts regarding the abortion pill along with the web of those who fund the manufacturing of the abortion pill as well as its clinical trials and studies. What has been uncovered has been nothing short of shocking: an incestuous funding trail from the investors in U.S. abortion pill manufacturers Danco Laboratories and GenBioPro, whose own dollars have been funneled to various groups behind clinical trials and studies of the abortion pill and its purported safety and effectiveness. Such an arrangement appears to be a possible conflict of interest, which...

Two suspects wanted for allegedly brutally beating and mugging a tourist outside a Times Square hotel are believed to be migrants who’d been living in shelters, police sources said. The two are wanted for attacking the 44-year-old Indiana man outside the four-star Club Quarters Hotel on West 45th Street just before 2:30 a.m. May 10, according to police appeals and sources.

CNN — Federal election regulators fined Hillary Clinton’s 2016 presidential campaign and the Democratic National Committee earlier this month for not properly disclosing the money they spent on controversial opposition research that led to the infamous Trump-Russia dossier. The DNC was fined $105,000 and the Clinton campaign was fined $8,000, according to a letter sent by the Federal Election Commission to a conservative group that requested an inquiry. The FEC concluded that the Clinton campaign and DNC misreported the money that funded the dossier, masking it as “legal services” and “legal and compliance consulting” instead of opposition research. A lawyer...

Assembly Member Emily Gallagher (D-Brooklyn) hates cars — except her own. The upstate-transplant socialist and “safe streets” lover has notched at least 46 (!!!) tickets these past 2½ years, for a total of more than $4,000. Turns out the white Buick of this tatted tribune of the people was caught illegally blocking fire hydrants.. Power to the workers! Unless their building’s on fire, in which case: Screw ’em. Far worse, the Rochester-reared revolutionary’s car has ripped through at least one red light — in The Bronx, a borough that’s almost 90% people of color. Guess black lives DON’T matter when...

The victim was knifed in the right arm while on a southbound 2 train at 3 p.m. right before it arrived at the Jackson Avenue 2/5 station in Melrose, according to the NYPD. The wounded man hurried off the train and begged a station agent to call 911, cops said.

ARTICLE: Interview with Yana Zinkevich, founder of "Hospitallers" Volunteer Medical Service Yana Zinkevich, founder of "Hospitallers" volunteer medical service: "Our unit has evacuated 23,000 wounded throughout war" Yana is a legend of this war. And this is no exaggeration. Perhaps even this word is not enough to convey the depth of what Yana has done for the country and continues to do for our Victory. Talking and remembering those who went to war from Maidan as children, we noted with great sadness that there are very few of them left. And Yana is one of them. The 10 years of...

Yavapai-Apache Nation Police Department officer Preston Brogdon was shot in the line of duty February 9, 2022, but survived life-threatening injuries only to be denied a “hardship” retirement and fired two years later, according to a report.

On February 9, 2022, he responded to a call regarding shots being fired at Camp Verde and located a suspect who began running.

Wild surveillance video captures the moment a maniac bashed a Queens bike shop worker over the head with a helmet — before he was stabbed by another man who intervened, according to police.

Footage obtained by The Post captured the moment the brute – who appeared to have been yelling at the 28-year-old worker – suddenly walloped him over the head with the helmet. A second later, another man sprinted...

Discover the unbelievable bravery of Franz Hasel, a German soldier who risked his life to defy the Nazis during WWII. On a mild Saturday in 1939, a letter arrived at a German farmhouse that changed the family’s world. It was a summons from the draft board for the 40-year-old Franz Hasel to attend the recruitment office in Frankfurt the following Monday. Because he was a pacifist, Hasel was assigned as a private to the Pioneer Company 699, which built roads, bridges and fortifications at the front lines. But Hasel’s story is truly unbelievable. Although he wore the uniform, he disagreed...
