The Obsolete Science Behind Roe v. Wade
Posted By: Beardo, 10/29/2021 5:35:05 PM
The Supreme Court will soon reconsider the decision in Roe v. Wade (1973), which made abortion legal in America through all nine months of pregnancy. At that “point in the development of man’s knowledge,” as Justice Harry Blackmun put it in Roe, there was simply no consensus about when life begins. In other words, the fetus could not be said with any certainty to be alive and therefore wasn’t worthy of legal protection. As a diagnostic radiologist—whose youngest patients are fetuses, who are very much alive—I submitted a friend-of-the-court brief in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization urging the justices to rethink Roe, a case premised on a claim about science.

Dan O’Donnell is a conservative radio host at 1130 WISN in Milwaukee. Today, Dan reported that he had identified the person known as “Jump-Kick Man” in the Rittenhouse trial. (Snip) Dan O’Donnell says he knows who he is but isn’t revealing his name because he was never charged with a crime. But he does reveal his many prior run ins with law enforcement which go back two decades.
You would assume that if the CDC was going to crush the civil and individual rights of those with natural immunity by having them expelled from school, fired from their jobs, separated from the military, and worse, the CDC would have proof of at least one instance of an unvaccinated, naturally immune individual transmitting the COVID-19 virus to another individual. If you thought this, you would be wrong.
My firm, on behalf of ICAN, asked the CDC for precisely this proof (see below). ICAN wanted to see proof of any instance in which someone who previously had COVID-19 became reinfected with and transmitted the virus to someone else.
Pennsylvania Gov. Tom Wolf admitted this week he made a mistake when he allowed his wife to drop off his mail-in ballot ahead of Tuesday’s municipal elections.
The comments came during an interview with KDKA radio in Pittsburgh. A Wolf spokesperson told The Associated Press “it was an honest mistake.”
State law requires voters return their own mail-in ballots to a county election office or drop box. Written permission must be given to return someone else’s ballot.
I woke up Wednesday morning so grateful that my state, Virginia, had voted out abortion extremism. Abortion activists were supposed to sweep Terry McAuliffe back to the governor's mansion. McAuliffe spent millions of dollars on ads blasting Glenn Youngkin for being pro-life and brought in outside speakers, including former President Obama, to campaign on the issue of abortion. Instead of keeping Virginia blue, these efforts may have propelled Youngkin to victory.
Dems Remain Delusional

One might imagine that Democrats could reflect dispassionately on the results of yesterday’s elections, draw appropriate lessons from them, and emerge as more formidable competitors going forward. You might imagine that, but it won’t happen. Democrats have no capacity for such engagement with reality.
Thus, they tell us that Glenn Youngkin’s victory was a triumph of white supremacy.

With The Pope, Was Told To ‘Keep Receiving Communion’ 10 replies
President Joe Biden said Friday that he did not discuss abortion with Pope Francis, adding that the pope told him to continue receiving communion.
Biden spoke with Pope Francis for roughly 90 minutes in Vatican City. The Vatican abruptly cancelled its planned live-stream Thursday, and the event was closed to the press in a move that sparked some outcry from reporters covering Biden’s second foreign trip since taking office.
Wisconsin Democratic Senate candidate Alex Lasry made up to $100,000 in rental income as an advocate for the continuation of the pandemic eviction moratorium, according to a financial disclosure reviewed by the Daily Caller News Foundation.
Lasry is vying for 2022 Democratic nomination for Senate, a seat currently held by Wisconsin Republican Sen. Ron Johnson. Johnson has yet to announce if he’s running for reelection despite already landing former President Donald Trump’s endorsement.

immigrants provisions into stalled $3.5
trillion spending bill 9 replies
Congressional Democrats are still trying to include immigration provisions into their multi-trillion-dollar climate change and social-safety-net spending bill already stuck on Capitol Hill over how to pay for the measure.
Illinois Sen Dick Durbin, the Senate's No. 2 Democrat, is still working on a provision that would give illegal immigrants government benefits, allow them to work legally and require them to pay taxes.
Polar bears would not exist today without climate change, and they may even be thriving because of current climate trends. That's what the co-founder of Greenpeace told scientists, economists, and academics who took part in an international conference challenging alarmist claims about global warming.
Patrick Moore, a Canadian environmentalist who previously served as president of Greenpeace Canada and director of Greenpeace International, was one of several speakers featured as part of the Heartland Institute’s conference on the topic held this month.
Now that the sociopaths at the National Institute of Health (NIH) have finally admitted to funding gain of function research — which we all knew to be the case — it’s time to once again look back at all the fake fact checkers who furthered the lie that the NIH did NOT fund gain of function.
Eric Coomer is the former Director of Security and Product Strategy for Dominion Voting Systems. After the 2020 election debacle, where votes in at least five states had very suspicious results while running Dominion computer systems, center-right journalists made common-sense observations that the results appeared rigged. One journalist, who had infiltrated a conference call filled with Antifa-sympathizing callers, remembered that on the call “Eric from Dominion” was going to ensure that Trump did not win re-election.

Fox News Congressional reporter Chad Pergram reported Tuesday evening that he had been given a tip about Kamala Harris several weeks ago that said he should familiarize himself with the nomination process for a vice president in the House and the Senate. Pergram’s report comes after a bombshell CNN report Sunday that the White House was rife with rumors about Joe Biden contemplating nominating the flailing Harris to the Supreme Court to get her out of his administration and out of the line of succession. Jill Biden was asking about using the 25th Amendment to sideline Harris
Kamala Harris' niece Meena has said parents can teach 'anti-racism at home' by telling their children the U.S. was founded by white supremacists and by filling their bookshelves with the works of 1619 Project founder Nikole Hannah-Jones. In a Washington Post op/ed published Tuesday night, Harris detailed how parents can educate kids by talking to them about the 'racism' that shapes America and how the country was 'stolen from Indigenous people'. She also took the opportunity to promote her own book club, Phenomenal Books, 'which spotlights the work of underrepresented authors, particularly women of color.' 'It's time all American families start taking time at home to discuss the injustices
During a signing ceremony for the infrastructure bill on Monday, President Biden praised the governors across America he worked with as vice president in the Obama administration—“save one.”
He then took a potshot at former Gov. Sarah Palin without naming her, explaining, the one who "can see Alaska from her porch.”
Biden got the “Saturday Night Live” joke completely wrong, given that he should’ve said Russia, not Alaska. Palin lives in Alaska so obviously she can see Alaska from her porch.
The jury in the trial of Kyle Rittenhouse will retire to consider their verdict on Tuesday at 9am, as the city of Kenosha braced for protests ahead of the verdict.Rittenhouse, 18, is charged with first-degree intentional homicide and other counts for killing Joseph Rosenbaum and Anthony Huber and wounding Gaige Grosskreutz on August 25, 2020. On Tuesday deliberations will begin in the case that has stirred fierce debate in the U.S. over guns, vigilantism and law and order.The jury has not been sequestered. (Photos) Eighteen jurors have been hearing the case; the 12 who will decide Rittenhouse's fate and the six who will be designated alternates will be
Rarely does anything in the news surprise me anymore, but consider today’s happenings an exception. In an explosive development, a whistleblower has delivered an email to Congress proving that Attorney General Merrick Garland lied under oath while testifying on Capitol Hill some weeks ago.
As RedState reported at the time, Garland’s statements surrounding the targeting of parents as “domestic terrorists” simply did not add up, with his mix of denialism and unwillingness to address the issue only adding to the suspicion that the DOJ had and continued to act improperly.
Now, these new documents deliver a decisive blow to Garland’s previous assertion
With the jury quietly tucked away deliberating Kyle Rittenhouse's fate, decorum outside the Wisconsin courthouse dissolved into angry protests on Tuesday with the arrival of BLM activists and Second Amendment enthusiasts. The jury has now begun deliberating whether or not to convict the teenage gunman, whose case has divided the nation. Rittenhouse, now 18, was 17 when he shot dead two white BLM protesters at a riot in Kenosha, Wisconsin, last August, and injured a third. His lawyers say he was a scared boy acting in self-defense, eager to protect the town as it fell under siege from an angry mob.
Kamala Harris is a very weird person

When Kamala Harris considers movie titles that make people think of her, she probably goes straight to “Wonder Woman.” I have news for her: Every time she opens her mouth, people are wondering, “What Planet Are You From?”
It’s pretty clear everyone in the White House hates her and is blame-leaking to every reporter around in hopes of emerging from this explosion in the stink-bomb factory without carrying any failure fragrance.
The nation's top infectious disease expert says he believes the definition of being 'fully vaccinated' against COVID-19 in the U.S. could change to include booster shots. Currently, any American who has received both shots of the two-dose Pfizer-BioNTech or Moderna vaccines, or one shot of the Johnson & Johnson vaccine, is considered fully vaccinated. But Dr Anthony Fauci, the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, said this may need to change to include extra doses. 'In my opinion, boosters are ultimately going to become a part of the standard regimen and not just a bonus,' he told Axios on Tuesday.
In America, a medical ethicist says it’s fine for primary care practitioners to refuse to treat unvaccinated people. In France, older people who don’t get their boosters will be denied access to amenities. And in Austria, unvaccinated people will be confined to house arrest. For a disease with a minimal mortality rate for healthy people under 60, the race to otherize them continues unabated. (snip)You’d think all the rules that applied to AIDS would apply here: Doctors must take all comers, nobody gets judged for being sick, and a patient’s health status is private. But no.
RNC chair apologizes to committee members

for poor communication on new gay pride initiative 26 replies
Republican National Committee Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel emailed an apology Monday evening to the GOP's 168 committee members, acknowledging she could have done a better job communicating a new initiative to recruit gay voters that upset some in the party's Christian evangelical base.
McDaniel's email was sent a few hours after she tried to quell a rebellion inside her ranks, holding a conference call with RNC members that delivered talking points supporting the new GOP Pride coalition but refusing to take questions. She blamed the risk that news media members may have dialed into the call for skipping a Q&A.
A university professor has sparked outrage after claiming it is not immoral for adults to be sexually attracted to children and saying pedophiles should be called 'minor-attracted persons'. Allyn Walker, who teaches sociology and criminal justice at Old Dominion University in Virginia, has penned a controversial book attempting to destigmatize pedophilia titled A Long Dark Shadow: Minor-Attracted People and Their Pursuit of Dignity.(Snip)'. Walker, who is transgender and uses the pronouns they/them, had said in an online interview with the Prostasia Foundation, a child protection organization: 'A lot of people when they hear the term "pedophile", they automatically assume that it means a sex offender,
Iranian media on Monday published video Monday purporting to show a military helicopter come within yards of the USS Essex, an amphibious assault ship sailing in the Gulf of Oman.The Pentagon accused Iran of "unsafe and unprofessional" conduct after the naval helicopter got within 25 yards of the Essex and circled the ship three times.(Tweet/Video) "Without getting into specifics, the crew of the Essex took the appropriate force protection measures they felt that they needed to, and they acted in accordance with international law," John Kirby, the Pentagon press secretary said. The incident occurred on Nov. 11. Kirby said there was no impact on the ship’s operations.
