Greenlighting Over-The-Counter Birth Control, The FDA Puts Women’s Health Last

Published

on

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved the first over-the-counter hormonal contraceptive on the market last week. Opill, a single synthetic hormone pill manufactured by Perrigo Co., is expected to be available for purchase at pharmacies, convenience stores, grocery stores, and online.

Although the FDA states that “Opill is not for use as emergency contraception and does not prevent pregnancy after unprotected sex,” progestin, the single synthetic hormone in Opill, has two modes of action. It thickens cervical mucus to decrease the chances of sperm reaching the egg, but, in some cases, can also prevent implantation of a fertilized egg by thinning the uterine lining, subsequently acting as a chemical abortifacient.

The Catholic Medical Association, a group of 2,600 healthcare professionals, issued a same-day press release expressing “deep concern” about the FDA’s decision and deriding the organization’s negligence.

“This shows a total lack of regard for a woman’s health to offer a hormonal contraceptive available over the counter, without medical supervision,” said Kathleen Raviele, M.D., OBGYN on CMA’s Board of Directors. “Women should be seen by a physician to make sure a drug as potent as a birth control pill is safe for her to take. These women deserve authentic medical care.”

Ignoring Over-the-Counter Requirements

According to the executive director of the Association of American Physicians and Surgeons Jane Orient, standard safety procedures are not being applied when it comes to making Opill available without a prescription.

“Over-the-counter products are supposed to be safe enough to be

Voters Oust Soros-Backed DA Who Oversaw Sanctuary City Policies In County Where Laken Riley Was Murdered

Published

on

Georgia voters in Athens-Clarke County ousted their disgraced left-wing prosecutor who oversaw traitorous sanctuary city policies where 22-year-old Laken Riley was brutally murdered.

Athens-Clarke and Oconee County District Attorney Deborah Gonzalez lost to Independent Kalki Yalamanchili, who received roughly 60 percent of the vote, Fox 5 Atlanta reported.

Gonzalez, a self-described “progressive,” was first elected in 2020 after receiving backing from left-wing billionaire George Soros. Gonzalez was at the center of recent recall efforts spurred by residents who are angry that Gonzalez and other county officials allowed “illegal aliens to freely roam our county,” according to the Athens-Banner Herald.

The county (and country) was shaken to its core when Riley, a nursing student at the University of Georgia, was brutally murdered while on a run on a wooded trail near her school. Authorities arrested Jose Antonio Ibarra the next day. Ibarra is an illegal immigrant who arrived to the states from Venezuela in 2022.

The Athens City Council passed a resolution in 2019 welcoming immigrants “of all statuses,” according to Fox 5 Atlanta. The city released a memo in December of 2023 stating Athens-Clarke County supports “undocumented” immigrants. Further, current county policy states the sheriff’s office will not enforce a 48-hour detainer for Immigration and Customs Enforcement, according to Fox 5 Atlanta.

“[If a] detainer is issued but is not accompanied by a federal warrant or court order signed by a federal magistrate or federal judge, [the illegal migrant] shall not be held solely on the ICE detainer,” the policy

California Democrats Claim To Protect Kids While Hiding Gender ‘Transitions’ From Parents

Published

on

While Governor Gavin Newsom touts his new social media law as a landmark achievement for protecting kids online, California Democrats’ recent voting record indicates that safeguarding kids is not a priority for Newsom or his party.  

Senate Bill 976 (introduced by Democrat Nancy Skinner), which Newsom signed into law last month, bans online platforms from “knowingly providing” addictive content feeds to minors “without parental consent.” In a statement accompanying the bill signing, Newsom bragged, “With this bill, California is helping protect children and teenagers from purposely designed features that feed these destructive habits. I thank Senator Skinner for advancing this important legislation that puts children’s well-being first.” 

While Newsom’s backing of the bill made headlines, the Democrat majority has refused to consider numerous other child protection proposals this legislative session and has even pushed through one bill that puts many young people at risk. The party has not earned its rhetoric as a champion of children’s well-being.

A notable example is SB 1435 (introduced by Republican Ochoa Bogh), which sought to support the removal of obscene materials from K-8 classrooms and school libraries by aligning California law with federal broadcasting standards. This innocuous bill to make educational environments safer for young students failed to pass beyond the Senate Education Committee. Three Democrat senators opposed the measure, dismissing it as a “book-banning” bill.

Yet if materials are deemed inappropriate for a general audience under federal broadcasting rules, it stands to reason they should also be considered inappropriate for children, especially in K-8 educational settings. Another bill, AB

Propagators Of Trump Derangement Should Be Shoved Into A Forgotten Corner Of The Culture Forever

Published

Spare a thought for them, America. Liz Cheney is probably being executed by that firing squad as you read this, and Molly Jong-Fast is undoubtedly already on her way to the camps, and the cities are emptying as the brave survivors sew diamonds into the lining of their coats and set off on foot for political asylum in Canada. What time do we get the first delivery of handmaids, Vladimir?

So.

The dismal cabal of hysterical adult children that makes up the alleged American cultural “mainstream,” the responsible people you see on television and in the op-ed pages — Anne Applebaum, Tom Nichols, Ruth Ben-Ghiat, Adam Kinzinger, Liz Cheney, Joe Scarborough and his idiot wife, Jonathan Capehart, Max Boot, Jen Rubin, David French, Bill Kristol, Ruth Marcus, Nicolle Wallace, Dana Bash, and on and on, all of them completely interchangeable, one set of asinine talking points with a series of different faces sewn on the front — have spent the last year or 10 descending into a urine-soaked psychotic tantrum. They don’t know anything, they don’t understand anything, they don’t say anything of value, they don’t contribute anything, ever, and their voices are ubiquitous. Living in this media environment is like living in a place where the air is made of manure.

They have absorbed no lesson. Wednesday morning, the media were full of warnings about fascism and white nationalism and VLADIMIR PUTIN!!!!!!!, a wall of empty noise in response to the rejection of a wall of empty noise. Ruth Ben-Ghiat is still the
