THE DOCTRINE OF THE N.A.F.T.A. GLOBALIST DEMOCRATS IS TO SERVE THE BILLIONAIRE CLASS WITH ENDLESS WAVES OF INVADING 'CHEAP' LABOR SUBSIDIZED WITH WELFARE FUNDED BY TAXES ON MIDDLE AMERICA.
In many speeches, Mayorkas says he is building a mass migration system to deliver workers to wealthy employers and investors and “equity” to poor foreigners. The nation’s border laws are subordinate to elites’ opinion about “the values of our country,” Mayorkas claims.

Everyone from Biden to the media seized on the story of a 10-year-old girl's abortion to defend the practice. They didn't want to talk about the ugly details. And with good reason.
The girl, actually only 9, had been raped by an illegal alien. And, on camera, her mother defended the rapist. Rather than a story about abortion, it was another familiar case of children being abused by the men who pass through the lives of their mothers. And a commentary on the social dysfunction created by illegal migration and broken multicultural communities.
Despite the eagerness to make the faceless child into the face of the abortion movement, less than 4% of abortions involve underage girls. Most however involve broken families.
“I do not view abortion as a choice and a right,” Biden had said in 2006. “I think it’s always a tragedy. I think it should be rare and safe.”
Biden was echoing Bill Clinton's statement that abortion should be "safe, legal, and rare". It was a position that most Democrats of a certain age had adopted to bridge the gap between the party's pro-life and pro-abortion wings. Biden has since adopted the position that abortion is a feminist sacrament in a party that has jettisoned both women and its pro-life wing.
Bill Clinton, Biden and establishment Democrats of another era understood that abortion was a symptom of broken families and poverty. They still know that, they just won’t say it. It’s why Elizabeth Warren and other Senate Democrats are trying to ban the pregnancy centers that offer assistance to poor mothers. Those same pregnancy centers have faced a campaign of domestic terrorism from pro-abortion extremists which Biden’s DOJ continues to ignore.
Why burn pregnancy centers? Because Planned Parenthood’s clients aren’t feminists, just poor. Warren and her domestic terrorist allies are trying to take away any option other than abortion.
Women who seek out abortions are disproportionately poor and members of minority groups. 75% are low income and half are below the poverty line. 85% are unmarried, among those 61% had been shacking up with the baby's father, and 61% already had one child. Those making over $100,000 a year have the highest rates of support for abortions and the lowest among those who make only $30,000. From Margaret Sanger, the founder of Planned Parenthood, on down abortion is how the Elizabeth Warrens manage the social problems of the underclass.
Eugenicists were divided between the more extreme view, that poverty was a symptom of an inheritable genetic defect, and the more liberal view, represented by Sanger, that the poor were a mixture of genetic defects, who needed to be forcibly sterilized, and irresponsible ‘breeders’, especially minorities such as Italians, Jews, and blacks, who were poor because they had too many children. It was this liberal eugenics that is the pragmatic function of Planned Parenthood even as its ideology trumpets abortion as feminist empowerment for upper class women.
There’s little evidence that abortion has fixed social or economic problems. The multigenerational clients of Planned Parenthood continue to be poor minorities.
Sanger’s contempt for religion had misled her about the role of values in social stability. Children were not the cause of poverty. The poverty rate in 1974, a year after Roe v. Wade became law, was 11%. 5 years later, it was up to 15%. In 2020 it was back to 11%. In 1974, there were 24 million poor people in America. In 2020, there are 37 million.
The poverty rate for married couples is under 5%. It's at 23% for female householders.
Rather than solving any of the social problems that Planned Parenthood claimed to be tackling, the annual mass sacrifice of babies only serves as a disposal chute for its victims. And so when a child is raped by her mother’s boyfriend, the answer is a speedy trip to an abortion clinic followed by assertions that this system is a vital civil right rather than a moral nightmare.
Democrats, including even Joe Biden, once understood that abortion was the fallout of a failed social system and its broken families, but now abortion can only be discussed as if it were a thing in and of itself, detached from any causes or consequences except perhaps the academic jargon about “pregnant bodies” and the “heteronormative patriarchy” that now infuses the Left.
Media outlets claim, with a mostly straight face, that abortion bans hit LGBT people the hardest.
Meanwhile, on the ground level, leftist activists are firebombing the pregnancy centers that offer an alternative to the mostly poor minority women who are the ones who actually have abortions.
"To effect the salvation of the generations of the future—nay, of the generations of to-day—our greatest need... is to cooperate in the formation of a code of sexual ethics based upon a thorough biological and psychological understanding of human nature," Margaret Sanger wrote in 1922.
A code of “sexual ethics” based on a raw materialistic understanding of human nature has long since developed by the likes of Alfred Kinsey. The code has brought on an unrivaled hostility between the sexes, hookup culture, the #MeToo movement, STDs, pornography, single parent families, date rape, the sexualization of children and widespread misery and loneliness.
Not to mention abortion.
One wonders what Sanger, who died in 1966, would have made of the wonderful generations of the future she had only begun to witness at the height of Haight-Ashbury. The essence of Sanger’s argument was that nothing more could be expected of people than to live out their drives and society had to protect its own future by eliminating children from the equation.
Women, Sanger had claimed, would be empowered by this exciting new code of sexual ethics.
What that empowerment really adds up to is college students waking up after a drunken encounter wondering if it was rape and single mothers desperately holding on to a man even if he abuses their children, and the problem being “solved” at an abortion clinic.
Abortion has so often been reduced to a debate between the right to life and the autonomy of the mother that we ignore the fact that what we are really seeing is a side-effect of a social breakdown. The larger question is not whether murder is sometimes justified or not, but why do we even live? What is the purpose of our existence and do we even have one?
Sanger began her book with a quote from Walt Whitman that women "are the gates of the body" and the "gates of the soul", before proceeding to reduce women to the body, the "great fundamental instinct of sex", as she put it, "expressing itself in the ever-growing broods" of the working poor. "Prohibition" and "restraint" were futile, she warned, and would only lead to "insanity, hysteria, neuroses, morbid fears and compulsions".
"Remove the moral taboos that now bind the human body and spirit, free the individual from the slavery of tradition," she urged, and "most of the larger evils of society will perish."
How is society doing without those taboos?
"I was thirty-nine and scared by the idea that I would not be reproducing the kind of heteronormative nuclear family I had grown up in," Emily Witt wrote. So the New Yorker writer joined a dating app "for 'open-minded singles and couples who want to explore their sexuality.'”
"Below the photos is a caption that might read, “31, transmasculine, gynesexual, 3 km away.”
After that, Witt turned in a plaintive article about "the only abortion clinic in North Dakota".
This is Sanger’s world without the moral taboos or any prohibition and restraint. It’s also a world in which Witt admits that, “The older I’ve got, the more I’ve understood how often sexual freedom imposes itself on people who don’t seek it out.” The torrent of "insanity, hysteria, neuroses, morbid fears and compulsions" has only increased in this world with its alphabet soup of genders and sexualities with sky-high suicide and sexual assault rates.
Whitman failed to understand that the “gates of the soul” come before the “gates of the body”, but Sanger could not conceive of the soul as anything except psychological “chemistry”. And there's Witt, their spiritual descendant, who browses a world of sexual fetishes and exploitation, along with her "unmarried and childless female friends", "none of us very young" who "had been 'hooking up' with people for large swaths of our adult lives."
Apart from the moral judgements, Sanger's world is a lonely one filled with broken people, men who fear to be fathers and women who no longer believe they are women living in a digital 'Nighthawks'. Abortion is in decline, not because of laws and regulations, but because people are less likely to connect to each other on even on the most casual level that would make a pregnancy possible.
Abortions, childbirths, pregnancies, relationships and marriages are all in a state of decline.
And that is the best of it in the upper tiers. At the bottom is the end of families, homes that aren’t broken, but never even existed, whose children either end up in abortion clinics or prisons.
Breaches of morality are also breaches of our humanity.
Changing all of that requires looking beyond the body and to the soul. According to Sanger, the soul was "nothing but a vague unreality except insofar as it is able to manifest itself in the beauty of the concrete." She envisioned a humanity whose bodies were as perfect as those of "superb ships, motor cars or great buildings". And yet our truths lie in what to Sanger was a mere “vague unreality” but whose absence has made all of the achievements a hollow tragedy.
Our ships and cars are better than ever. And our society is more broken than ever.
Abortion doesn’t only represent the death of a child, but of a family and a future. It isn’t only babies who die in abortion clinics, but the potential of two people and the soul of a nation.
Biden’s HHS Declares Abortion ‘Emergency Care’ to Undercut State Law, Claims No Religious Exemptions

(CNSNews) – The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), led by Secretary Xavier Becerra, has mandated that doctors in publicly-funded hospitals provide abortions to women with emergency medical conditions, if the physician believes “that abortion is the stabilizing treatment necessary to resolve that condition,” even if state law prohibits the procedure.
Pro-life advocates have denounced the policy as another deceitful way the Biden administration is trying to get around the overturning of Roe v. Wade and to undermine state laws against abortion. Biden and company are “determined to put the full weight of the federal government behind promoting abortion,” said SBA Pro-Life America President Marjorie Dannenfelser. “Democrats will stop at nothing to promote their agenda of abortion on demand, up until the moment of birth….”
The Biden administration’s memo announcing the new policy, entitled “Reinforcement of EMTALA Obligations specific to Patients who are Pregnant or are Experiencing Pregnancy Loss,” was released on July 11, 2022. The memo clarifies the policy, which forbids doctors that work at public hospitals from denying emergency medical treatment to patients based on their ability to pay.

The guidance states that “emergency medical conditions involving pregnant patients may include, but are not limited to, ectopic pregnancy, complications of pregnancy loss, or emergency hypertensive disorders, such as preeclampsia with severe features.”
It goes on to explain that when physicians determine that an abortion is necessary to treat these emergencies, they must be allowed to perform the operation because “state law is preempted [by EMTALA].”
EMTALA’s and HHS’ application of the law apparently make no religious exceptions to their regime of mandated abortions. The guidance reportedly will force hospitals and doctors who oppose abortion on moral grounds, such as the Catholic hospitals that make up 14.5% of acute care hospitals in the United States, to choose between their code of ethics and compliance with federal guidelines.
HHS’ press office quotes Becerra as saying: “Under the law, no matter where you live, women have the right to emergency care — including abortion care. Today, in no uncertain terms, we are reinforcing that we expect providers to continue offering these services, and that federal law preempts state abortion bans when needed for emergency care. Protecting both patients and providers is a top priority, particularly in this moment. Health care must be between a patient and their doctor, not a politician. We will continue to leverage all available resources at HHS to make sure women can access the life-saving care they need.”

The Catholic Medical Association (CMA), the largest body of Catholics in the health industry, condemned the memorandum. Dr. Marie Hilliard, one of the co-chairs of the CMA’s Ethics Committee had this to say: “Catholic health care agencies and providers have managed these same health crises of mother and baby consistent with EMTALA law and best practices over the decades, while respecting the health and dignity of both,” she said. “They consistently ‘provide stabilizing medical treatment’ to their pregnant patients.”
“Abortion, she said, is not necessary.”
Susan B. Anthony Pro-Life America released the following statement in response to Biden’s executive order directing Becerra to find ways to protect abortion access, which resulted in the new EMTALA guidance:
“Long gone is the Democratic Party of ‘safe, legal, and rare.’ President Biden has once again caved to the extreme abortion lobby, determined to put the full weight of the federal government behind promoting abortion,” said SBA Pro-Life America President Marjorie Dannenfelser. “Democrats will stop at nothing to promote their agenda of abortion on demand, up until the moment of birth, paid for by the taxpayers – including dangerous mail-order abortion drugs — even if it means gutting the long-standing filibuster, increasing the size of the Supreme Court, or putting abortionists in tents in national parks."

"We are committed to exposing Democrats’ abortion extremism to voters across key battleground states so this extreme agenda can be soundly rejected at the ballot box this November," said Dannenfelser.
The state of Texas has sued HHS over the memo, citing concerns that EMTALA does not preempt state laws concerning abortion, such as Texas’ ban on abortion that will take effect in the near future.
The Texas lawsuit argues that, “ EMTALA ‘do[es] not preempt any State or local law requirement, except to the extent that the requirement directly conflicts with a requirement of EMTALA.’” EMTALA does not codify any right or access to abortion, so there is no direct conflict between EMTALA and a state law banning abortion, the suit alleges.
Furthermore, the text of EMTALA specifically defines “emergency medical condition” to include threats to the health of a woman’s unborn child.
Commenting on the situation, Media Research Center President Brent Bozell told Newsmax, “The Supreme Court is the is the supreme law of the land. And the Supreme Court stated that that Roe v. Wade is unconstitutional. So what do the Biden administration do?”
“Very quietly one week ago, they quietly let everybody know that their regulations in their opinion supersedes state law, and therefore every -- not only does every private hospital, including Catholic hospitals, have to perform abortions if the patient wants one -- but emergency medical teams have to do it as well,” he said.
“So if you're a pro-life doctor, you, according to the administration, you, by law, have to perform an abortion,” said Bozell. “So much for the Supreme Court and its decision now that Biden -- I mean, they are behaving like dictators when they do something like this. It's unbelievable that the media won’t cover this.”
Rubio Introduces Bill Allowing Mothers to Collect Child Support Payments From Moment of Conception

(CNSNews.com) – Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) has introduced a bill that would allow child support payments to begin at the time of conception, instead of after a child’s birth.
“We should do everything we can to support American mothers and their children. This bill would allow expecting mothers to prepare and support their babies before they are born,” Rubio said.
Sen. Kevin Cramer (R-N.D.), the bill’s co-author, stated, “Caring for the well-being of our children begins long before a baby is born. It begins at the first moment of life – conception – and fathers have obligations, financial and otherwise, during pregnancy. Mothers should be able to access child support payments as soon as she is supporting a child. Our bill makes this possible.”
The bill, known as the “Unborn Child Support Act,” amends the Social Security Act to allow mothers to begin collecting child support payments from their child’s father during the first month of pregnancy. The new text also allows payments during the pregnancy to be collected after the baby is born when a paternity test is used to establish the identity of the father.
In addition to the two authors, the bill currently has nine co-sponsors. The act will need 60 yes votes in order to pass the Senate, which is divided evenly between the chamber’s 50 Republicans and 50 Democrats.
A similar bill was introduced in the Oklahoma State Legislature in January by a Democratic lawmaker. That bill, which also allowed child support payments to begin at conception, was criticized for implicitly recognizing that life begins at conception, a position held by many Republicans in the Oklahoma Legislature.
The author, Forrest Bennet, defended his legislation, saying: “*IF* this state [Oklahoma] outlaws abortion and *IF* it tries to define life as beginning at conception, it owes its people the kind of policy that supports & helps babies & parents, not just policies that force birth.”

In 2021, Utah became the first state to require biological fathers to pay half of a woman’s pregnancy-related medical costs. That law makes an exception for the cost of having an abortion, which the father would only be required to help pay for if it is necessary to save the mother’s life or if the pregnancy was the result of rape.
Certain states have laws that allow mothers to collect payments for pregnancy-related expenses from fathers in limited circumstances. Wisconsin, for example, allows courts to order fathers to pay for part or all of the cost of birth.
A survey from the Bucknell Institute for Public Policy found that 47% or nearly half of Americans favored proposals to begin child support at conception while 28% were opposed and 25% were unsure.
Chris Ellis, co-director of the institute and political science professor at Bucknell University, said this finding extended across political and ideological lines, including those who described themselves as “pro life,” “pro choice,” Republican and Democrat.
However, women were more likely than men to favor the idea, the survey found.
Mississippi Leads Pro-Life Effort to Support Moms, Babies After End of Roe v. Wade
Mississippi is setting an example for post-Roe v. Wade law by passing legislation to help women deal with unplanned pregnancies and their born children.
Republican Gov. Tate Reeves signed the Pregnancy Resource Act, which will provide a dollar-for-dollar tax credit for businesses that donate to pregnancy resource centers (PRC). The credit is set at 50 percent of the taxpayer’s state tax burden, with an annual cap of $3.5 million.
The law, HB 1685, is the first of its kind in the U.S., according to Reeves.
“Mississippi will continue to take all available avenues to build and promote a culture of life,” Reeves said at the time. “This means supporting mothers, passing pro-family laws, and strengthening community support systems.”
“We know that to be truly pro-life, we cannot only be anti-abortion,” Reeves stated via his official Facebook page upon signing the Pregnancy Resource Act. “This bill will help expecting mothers get the resources they need in a safe, well-equipped environment.”
“Every life is precious,” Reeves wrote.

And as these laws begin to take hold, pro-life advocates are expressing their support for continuing their ongoing efforts to make sure women and their babies have the help they need.

“Just as the Supreme Court’s Roe v. Wade decision couldn’t resolve the complex issue of abortion, government alone cannot address all the reasons that lead a woman to have an abortion,” Jameson Taylor, director of policy and legislation affairs for the American Family Association, said in a statement.

“The nonprofit sector — and the relationships and community support that nonprofits and churches provide — must be part of the answer. Pregnancy resource centers are on the front lines helping women facing an unexpected pregnancy,” said Taylor, who helped craft the legislation. “By supporting the efforts of PRCs to provide concrete and compassionate assistance to women in need, the state of Mississippi is investing in private sector solutions that can complement what the state is already doing to assist these women.”
Reeves also issued a statement about the work PRCs do.
“Pregnancy resource centers and crisis pregnancy centers do a tremendous job of helping primarily low-income women who are facing incredible challenges,” the statement said. “These non-profits offer free sonograms, pregnancy tests, counseling on options, and more.”
“These centers receive no government funding and are non-profits that are fully reliant on donations from individuals and business owners,” the statement continued.
The Pregnancy Help News website reported on the work that PRCs do:
Mississippi has more than 30 pregnancy centers that provide pregnancy help to women and families, a report from local outlet The Daily Leader said. In 2019 alone, these organizations provided $1.9 million in services and materials to more than 12,000 people.
“Data from that same year compiled by the Charlotte Lozier Institute found that the then roughly 2,700 pregnancy centers nationwide served almost two million people, at an estimated total value of services and material assistance of nearly $270 million. Estimates sincehave the number of pregnancy help centers in the U.S. approaching 3,000,” the website said.
