Photo Credit: Cheddar Gorgeous YouTube page/Screenshot Several so-called “drag queens” in the United Kingdom are organizing a protest to coincide with President Trump’s visit to the country in July as they believe he hasn’t lived up to his campaign promise to be “gay friendly.” “Calling all drag kings, queens, queers and our allies to march against President Donald Trump’s UK visit,” a description reads on the protest Facebook page. “Due to the appalling way the Trump administration has regarded the rights and welfare of LGBTQI communities of the US, the idea of a Trump visit to the UK is unacceptable.” The event...

The tragic deaths of Charlie Gard and Alfie Evans have launched an international debate over parental rights and the power given to medical experts in making life-changing (or life-ending) decisions. With the modern rise in prenatal screenings for various birth defects and disabilities, many mothers are encouraged to abort their children, who they are told wouldn’t survive anyway. Scottish mom Samantha Dukes was pressured to abort when she was 22 weeks (almost six months) pregnant. Today, her son Dexson is alive and well because she listened to her maternal instinct despite her doctor’s recommendations. At Dukes’s 22-week checkup, doctors diagnosed...

“Curtain of fire”: Hawaii volcano spews lava, forces residents to flee
May 04, 2018 04:12 pm

|
HONOLULU — Nearly 1,500 residents were ordered to evacuate after Hawaii’s Kilauea Volcano erupted. The eruption sent molten lava to chew its way through forest land and bubble up on paved streets. Volcano officials said they couldn’t predict how long the eruption might last. That prompted Gov. David Ige to declare a state of emergency in affected areas, activate the National Guard to help with evacuations and provide security to about 770 structures left empty when residents sought shelter. There were no immediate reports of injuries but at least 100 people were in shelters Friday with many more evacuees believed...

Students at schools across the nation walked out of classrooms Wednesday to show their support for the Second Amendment.

Riley, 18, a senior at Carlsbad High School,...

President Donald Trump is speaking at the annual convention of the National Rifle Association (NRA) in Dallas, Texas. The event at the Kay Bailey Hutchison Convention Center — which seats approximately 9,200 — quickly sold out after Trump announced he would be attending. Trump’s speech comes less than three months after the February 14 mass shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida, which left 17 dead. The massacre reignited the national debate on gun control and sparked a student-led movement for gun law reform. .@POTUS: “I want to thank all of you, the true American patriots of...

|
|
COLUMBIA, S.C. — An amendment to a dismemberment abortion ban bill that would have outlawed any method of abortion in South Carolina—with exceptions—was sent back to committee early Friday morning following an hours-long filibuster by opposing Democrats. The Senate initially voted 28-10 in favor of the amendment on Wednesday, but the following day, Democrats stalled the matter by holding the floor so long that the proposal was voted to be tabled. “It is unlawful for a physician to knowingly perform or attempt to perform an abortion and thereby kill an unborn child unless the pregnancy is the result of rape or incest or...

Iowa Set to Ban Abortion, The Legislature Could Challenge Roe v. Wade
May 04, 2018 09:19 am
|
|
The state of Iowa is set to ban abortion statewide; however, the legislature, if signed, could spark a national debate about Roe v. Wade and effectually thwart the argument for abortion. Both the Iowa state House and Senate passed the “Heartbeat” bill that will eliminate the practice of abortion from within the state. Now, pro-life Republican Governor Kim Reynolds will determine if the bill becomes law. In the majority of cases, most babies exhibit a heartbeat as early as six weeks, meaning that it would finally be unlawful to murder an unborn child after a heartbeat is detected. However, there...

Photo Credit: Remy/Wikipedia The internationally acclaimed secular rock group U2, led by the Irish-born Bono, has come out in favor of repealing Ireland’s Eighth Amendment, a pro-life law that “acknowledges the right to life of the unborn” and “guarantees in its laws to respect, and, as far as practicable, by its laws to defend and vindicate that right.” The revelation has generated disappointment from followers who are baffled as to why anyone would support killing a baby. The group posted a graphic to Twitter and Instagram on Tuesday that read, “Repeal the 8th,” the words being written in a red heart....
