The World of Botched Abortions
Ward 41 of the old Cook County Hospital in Chicago was home to the department of “septic obstetrics,” which was code for the botched abortions women underwent in the 1960s. Between 1961 and 1965, doctors treated over 20,000 women after their illegal abortions. Their patients were desperate, and they had no other options.
Sixty years later, the U.S. Supreme Court has placed us in a new, horrific scenario. Medication abortion is available and safe, but people who seek and doctors who provide abortion care could be risking jail in some states. The court has turned this ...
Abortion?! In the Bible?!
Abortion is not in the Bible! This is claimed over and over by many Theistic commentators. A-B-O-R-T-I-O-N, the word, is not found in the Bible. However, many references to the termination of pregnancy are found. The termination of pregnancy is abortion.
First, there is Hosea 13:16. From the King James Version: “16 Samaria shall become desolate; for she hath rebelled against her God: they shall fall by the sword: their infants shall be dashed in pieces, and their women with child shall be ripped up.”
Today, in Israel Samaria is known as the ...
Wisconsin Primary and Strategic Voting
Wisconsin has a primary election on August 9th. How much do people know about the candidates and issues for this election? Local local news sources offer little of value. This article tries to help people in Douglas County and NW Wisconsin get the information they need to be informed voters.
Primary elections are just as important as the general election. If you don't have good candidates winning the primary you don't have good choices later and we all wind up with bad political leadership.
To begin with, people in Douglas County need to be aware that their ...
Save the Menominee River
Did you know that the Menominee River flows into the Bay of Green Bay and continues all the way to Lake Michigan? Should we be willing to poison that much water? Our happy PEACEFUL group protested on Friday, July 1, letting the public know we are always fighting to keep our water safe from sulfide mining. We were approached by a Menominee police officer who was very angry. We took down the sign that we were told was illegal to have attached to a corner pole per his request. We were then told we were not allowed to walk in front of the Ogden Club ...
The Poor People’s Campaign Heads to the Polls With an Agenda to lift From the Bottom
Campaign demands meeting with Biden, pledges to register poor & low-income voters, will return to DC in September
Following a powerful and passionate march and moral assembly of poor and low-wage workers and faith leaders that drew thousands of people from every state in the nation, the Poor People’s Campaign has announced its plans for the midterm elections in November.
The Mass Poor People’s and Low-Wage Workers’ Assembly and Moral March on Washington and to the Polls was Saturday with the U.S. Capitol in the background. People gathered on Pennsylva...
Vote Blue
Whether at the gas pump or supermarket, we are all feeling the impacts of higher prices. While Republicans have pointed fingers at President Biden and Democrats, these attacks are hypocritical and unjustified.
The causes of inflation include the global pandemic and Putin’s war of choice in Ukraine. And while Democrats have been working tirelessly to lower costs for families, Republican politicians have actively voted against solutions.
Trump’s failure to address the pandemic sent our economy into a recession and caused the unemployment rate to surge from 3.8% to ...
The Election Integrity Scam
“The trouble with practical jokes is that very often they get elected.” Will Rogers, a 1930-40s
comedian.
Unqualified candidates for public office are nothing new and too often they get elected. This
year in Wisconsin we have an abundance of candidates running for office with few, if any,
qualifications. It may be unkind to call them “jokes.” People should be encouraged to
volunteer for public office, but they should have some basic qualifications. Just because
everyone has a right to run doesn't mean they should.
Some candidates for the Wisconsin ...
