Amber Thurman’s family to sue Georgia hospital over abortion death: ‘Doctors had a duty to act’

Oct 10, 2024 |

The family of Amber Thurman, a Georgia woman who died after taking abortion drugs in 2022, plans to sue the Piedmont Henry Hospital, accusing doctors of failing to provide care and keeping Thurman’s loved ones in the dark about her condition. Thurman’s family retained Attorney Ben Crump, a high-profile civil rights and personal injury lawyer. Last week, the family joined Crump for a news conference in Decatur, Georgia, to demand “justice” for the 28-year-old mother. A September ProPublica report suggested that physicians failed to provide Thurman with care due to confusion about Georgia’s abortion law. Pro-life doctors, however, argue that removing Thurman’s deceased unborn child, who was already dead by the time she arrived at the hospital, would not have violated the law.

Supreme Court to hear arguments over Tennessee ban on ‘transitioning’ children

Oct 10, 2024 | ,

The U.S. Supreme Court began its fall term this month, during which the court is slated to consider whether states may ban the surgical or chemical “transitioning” of gender-confused minors, in a review of a Tennessee law with nationwide implications. In March 2023, Tennessee Gov. Bill Lee signed S.B. 1, which forbids subjecting minors to surgical or chemical “sex change” interventions, such as puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones, and mutilating surgeries. LGBT activists sued, and last September a three-judge panel of the 6th Circuit Court of Appeals ruled the law could be enforced, finding sufficient evidence linking puberty blockers to harmful effects to justify lawmakers’ judgment that they should be prohibited.

Wokeness is Erasing Women

Oct 9, 2024 | ,

A person is born either male or female. Only women can give birth and breastfeed. It is not possible to change sex. These three statements with biological and medical facts are now considered homophobic and transphobic in the progressive democracies of the West; they are labelled as hate speech that “denies the existence of trans people” and causes or amplifies their feelings of gender dysphoria, i.e. the discrepancy between the body in which they were born and their subjective notion of themselves. They also very succinctly illustrate the essence of woke ideology that is spreading through all pores of Western countries and societies, rapidly spilling over into our part of the world too.

Is the Death of Christianity Greatly Exaggerated?

Oct 9, 2024 |

In the UK, according to a recent survey, there are more atheists than people who believe in God. Researchers at Queen’s University Belfast spent three years asking why atheism has grown around the world. Nearly 25,000 people from the UK, the US, Brazil, China, Denmark and Japan participated in the survey.

They found that atheists do not necessarily lead lives devoid of meaning, morality or purpose and that parents are a major factor influencing a belief in God.’

According to Professor Jonathan Lanman from Queen’s University Belfast, “Our large cross-cultural surveys reveal that while many factors may influence one’s beliefs in small ways, the key factor is the extent to which one is socialised to be a theist.” He added: ‘Many other popular theories, such as intelligence, emotional stoicism, broken homes, and rebelliousness, do not stand up to empirical scrutiny.”
