ABORTION IN AMERICA IS OVERWHELMINGLY BLACK. PERHAPS WE SHOULD HAND OUT FREE RUBBERS INSTEAD OF MURDERING BABIES!
HARRIS IS A LARGE RECIPIENT OF PLANNED PARENTHOOD CAMPAIGN DONOR BRIBES
At NAACP convention, Kamala Harris disavows humans as property – then promotes abortion
Four days ago, Kamala Harris spoke before a crowd of delegates and attendees at the annual NAACP conference held in Atlantic City. Emphasizing the need for women to slaughter their unborn without legal ramifications, Harris compared limiting or banning abortion to slavery, stating that these United States “has a history of claiming ownership over human bodies.”
Harris, in particular, lacks the latitude to claim the moral high ground, as she is the progeny of a prolific slave-owner – a fact acknowledged by her own father – and a Democrat. The legacies of both her ancestors and her political party amount to complete contempt for objective truths such as unalienable rights and the sanctity of human life.
Carol Swain, a former professor of political science at Vanderbilt University, addressed this “inconvenient truth” – asserting that the Democrat party is the party of slavery and oppression. In a video with nearly 9 million views, Swain said:
Since its founding in 1829, the Democratic Party has fought against every major civil rights initiative, and has a long history of [racial] discrimination. The Democratic Party defended slavery, started the Civil War, opposed Reconstruction, founded the Ku Klux Klan, imposed segregation, perpetrated lynchings, and fought against the Civil Rights acts of the 1950s and 1960s.
Commodifying humanity is the lifeblood of the Democrat party – an essence at its inception, and present still today. However, the irony is lost on someone like Kamala Harris.
Presumably speaking to a room of Black Americans, Harris exploits the pains caused by the darkest moments in American history. Yet, she incorrectly likens chattel slavery as practiced in these United States to women living in a post-Roe world, all the while missing the correct and undeniable analogy – the “human bodies” treated like property are not mothers without access to state-sanctioned murder, but rather the executed children.
As Harris identified, human beings beneath the yoke of slavery suffered as others claimed ownership over them. But is that different from a woman who lives by an ethos of depravity, declaring “my body, my choice”? After all, from the moment of conception, the unborn person is genetically distinct from the mother. “My body, my choice” could easily be translated as ‘the human being in my womb is my property, and I can do what I want with it’ – or, it could be said, the mother is “claiming ownership” over another person.
Nevertheless, Harris reaffirms that the enduring spirit of the Democrats is entirely defiled and hopelessly cruel.

The Biden administration and the new 'Intolerable Acts'
In 1774, the British imposed the Intolerable Acts on the American colonies. These acts, also called the Coercive Acts, were punishment for the Americans' disobedience to the crown, particularly as symbolized by the Boston Tea Party, a rebellion against a (relatively mild) increase in the tax on tea.
My fellow Americans, we have recently been subjected to a second set of Coercive Acts. Call them the Intolerable Acts 2.0.
These acts have been imposed on American citizens by their own supposedly representative government, the Biden administration, as punishment for disobedience to the Democrat party and the Deep State, as symbolized by the MAGA movement and the election of Donald Trump.
What are the new Intolerable Acts? I will list a number of them here for you now, many of them a result of executive fiat, not unlike those directed at the colonists by King George III.
– Rescinding the Keystone Pipeline permit, depriving his country's citizens of vast quantities of oil and canceling countless well-paying jobs at the same time.
– Withdrawing oil and gas leases across the nation and its coastal waters, depriving his country's citizens of vast quantities of oil and gas and canceling countless well-paying jobs at the same time.
– Dramatically restricting fracking and preventing all new extraction of oil or gas on federal lands, depriving his country's citizens of vast quantities of oil and canceling countless well-paying jobs at the same time.
– Proposing and fostering other policies guaranteed to dramatically worsen inflation, adversely affecting all Americans lives, especially those with lower incomes and less leverage and fewer opportunities.
– Refusing to close or even effectively monitor or police our southern border, condemning Americans to suffer significant increases in violent crime, drug overdoses, sex-trafficking, and the proliferation of diseases like COVID-19.
– Treating illegal aliens far better than citizens in fly-over country, in many cases putting them up in hotels and then granting them sanctuary status, driver's licenses and free education and health care...all paid for by taxpayers, including those dolts in fly-over country.
– Instituting policies guaranteed to worsen crime and supporting groups like Antifa and BLM that routinely burn and loot American cities — and sometimes kill innocent people and police officers.
– Jailing January 6 protesters, nearly all of whom were actually peaceful, in many cases indefinitely and without charging them, because, well, January 6 was, in some ways, the MAGA movement's Tea Party.
– Sending the FBI and/or DOJ after individual political opponents, raiding their houses in the wee hours with preposterously overwhelming force, dragging them out in their underclothes — and making a spectacle of them for the media.
– Targeting legal firearm owners and attempting to repeal the God-given right to self-defense, a right more important now than ever before...due to the very policies of so-called progressives like those in the Biden administration who want to strip you of this inalienable right.
– Attempting to repeal the First Amendment and strip all of us of our right to free speech, religion, and assembly. Labeling speech with which they disagree as "hate speech."
– Telling us that there is no way to definitively ascertain sex at birth...or any other time, for that matter.
– Attempting to force us to take an experimental gene therapy "vaccine" into our bodies, while simultaneously saying everyone should have the right to decide whether or not to kill their unborn babies because it's "your body, and therefore your choice."
There were five original Intolerable Acts. Those acts were the proximate cause of the First Continental Congress...and the American Revolution.
I have listed nearly three times that number of (what should effectively be considered to be) "intolerable Acts" the American government has imposed on its citizens in the past 18 months.
What say you, Americans?

Black Lives Matter: Black Supremacists
On July 14, Minneapolis police shot and killed twenty-year-old Tekle Sundberg after a six-hour standoff that included multiple shots by the "victim" being fired into the apartment of a young woman and her two small children. This was because Tekle Sundberg was trying to kill her. Yet according to attorney Ben Crump, Tekle was a "smart, loving, and artistic" young man "experiencing a mental health crisis." The photo accompanying Crump's call to action showed Tekle wearing white, the color of innocence, while smiling for the camera. However, a second photo in the Twitter feed displayed another side of Tekle's character as he held two pistols and a bag of contraband while playfully posing for the camera.
Crump demanded ANSWERS (his capitalization, not mine) from the Minneapolis police about how they conducted themselves during the standoff. He also posted videos of the grieving adoptive parents blaming the police for killing their son "unnecessarily" and called for people to protest at the scene of the crime, which they did. Tekle's white parents claimed that the police promised they wouldn't shoot him (a curious claim to make in an active shooter situation, to be sure) and predictably suggested that their son would still be alive if he were white. However, the police reported that whenever they tried to have the father speak to Tekle, the young man turned his music up full blast and screamed at them.
Just how disgusting can Tekle's parents get? Zero sympathy was expressed for their son's intended victim or her children. Their son was actively trying to murder his neighbor when the police finally shot and killed him, more than six hours after the standoff began, and still they blame the police. If Tekle had been white, the only difference in the outcome is that the cops most likely wouldn't have waited six hours before they finally shot and killed him. The man was spraying live rounds into another apartment, trying to kill its inhabitants, which, in my opinion, forfeits his right to continue breathing.
Say the name "George Floyd," and people bow their heads in reverence for the petty criminal, who died while in police custody from an officer "kneeling on his neck" until he suffocated — which didn't happen, but don't tell that to Officer Derek Chauvin, because he's in prison for allegedly killing Floyd. Now say the name "Tony Timpa." Who? Minneapolis police officers went to prison for detaining Floyd with a controversial hold for nine minutes. Dallas police officers held Tony Timpa with the very same hold for almost fourteen minutes, and, like Floyd, Timpa died. Why have there been no media reports of Timpa's death like the reports on George Floyd? Well, Tony Timpa was a white man.
If Timpa's story failed to move you, what about Edward Bronstein? Two months before George Floyd died, the very same thing happened to Bronstein — cops kneeled on him, and he died. What happened to the officers in the Timpa and Bronstein cases? Nothing.
Obviously, police brutality isn't the real issue for Black Lives Matter. Nor does the innocence or guilt of the candidate for martyrdom matter. Skin color is all that matters to Black Lives Matter. It doesn't hurt if you have a criminal record, too.
Seventy-five percent of the people killed by the police each year are white, Asian, or Hispanic. Twenty-five percent of the suspects killed by police are black. If anything, police have become more reluctant to engage with and subdue a violent black offender out of fear that Black Lives Matter and Ben Crump will marshal the forces of evil against them, and that reluctance puts even more lives at risk.
Not only does BLM always side against the police, but the group frequently sides against the black victims of black criminal thugs. Apparently, only black criminals aren't supposed to get shot, no matter what they've done. In stark contrast, innocent black women and children are fair game. If you are a young black criminal, you're untouchable as far as Black Lives Matter is concerned. Black Lives Matter doesn't care about people. It cares only about power. The people behind Black Lives Matter don't care about black lives in general; they care about only the lives of dangerous black criminals and buying expensive real estate in rich white neighborhoods.
George Floyd? He's been elevated to the ranks of a minor deity, although a lightning strike seems to have offered God's final word on the matter. And contrary to what Ben Crump might have you believe, Tekle Sundberg was no angel. He was a thug and a criminal, and he's far from the only example of Black Lives Matter choosing to champion the wrong black lives. Jacob Blake admits that he had a knife when police shot him. Black Lives Matter led a major protest to honor the man that police had been trying to arrest for sexual assault, criminal trespass, and disorderly conduct. The protests in Kenosha led to Kyle Rittenhouse being forced to kill several people in self-defense as the situation grew completely out of control.
Michael Brown robbed a convenience store and broke the orbital bone in the face of police officer Darren Wilson, but BLM lied and claimed that Brown had his hands up. And Ferguson, Missouri was burned to the ground because of another pernicious lie. Rayshard Brooks passed out in the drive-through lane of a Wendy's and eventually managed to get shot and killed while resisting arrest for DUI. For some unknown reason, video of the police having a normal conversation with Brooks aired on television, but video of Brooks resisting arrest and firing a Taser at the cops did not. Naturally, protesters burned the restaurant to the ground.
Much more importantly, little eight-year-old Secoriea Turner was shot and killed when a protester fired a bullet into her mother's car. Two of the protesters were arrested for her murder. Two years after Brooks's death, "mourners" planned a vigil to remember him. Nobody has a vigil planned for Secoriea Turner.
Black Lives Matter protesters immediately dropped to a knee when reports aired that an armed carjacker had been killed by the police. The protesters promised to loot and riot in response, but after they learned that the carjacker was white, the protest suddenly ended, quickly and quietly. They didn't care that the perpetrator had allegedly been waving a gun and shooting at police, but they did care about his skin color, because only the lives of black criminals matter to Black Lives Matter. If you're an innocent bystander, a woman, or a child — even if you're black — well, you're just collateral damage.
The young woman Sundberg had been trying to kill bravely came out of her apartment to confront the angry crowd that came to march in front of her building and shouted at them, "He tried to kill me in front of my kids! There are bullet holes in my kitchen!"
One of the protestors chillingly replied, "Not in you, though!"
What type of a human being would say such a thing to the victim of a violent crime?

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 since have the number of pregnancy help centers in the U.S. approaching 3,000,” the website said.
