For Discussion: North Carolina Legislation Threatens To Close The Majority Of Abortion Clinics In The State…Do You Think This Is Extreme?

This is ridiculous. Legislation Attacks Abortion According to Raw Story Legislation to ban Islamic law in North Carolina now also contains a number of anti-abortion measures, potentially closing all but one abortion clinic in the state. “This attempted sneak attack on women’s reproductive rights is absolutely shameful,” Sarah Preston of the American Civil Liberties Union of North Carolina said Tuesday. “Issues as vital and personal as access to comprehensive health care and doctor-patient relationships deserve to be debated in an open, public process – not hastily pushed through without notice and under the cover of night during a holiday week.” House Bill 695 originally sought to prohibit courts from using Sharia and other foreign laws in family law proceedings. The North Carolina Senate Judiciary committee on Tuesday unexpectedly tacked on six anti-abortion measures late in the afternoon and sent the bill to the Senate floor for a vote. U.S. Senator Kay Hagan (D-NC) said she was “appalled” by Republicans’ attempt to use “procedural tricks” to ram the anti-abortion measures through the state Senate. The legislation would now allow any health care provider to opt out of providing abortion-related services, prohibit health plans offered through federal health care exchanges from offering abortion coverage, outlaw sex-selection abortions, require doctors to stay in the room during the entire abortion procedure, force abortion clinics to obtain patient-transfer agreements with local hospitals, and mandate that abortion clinics meet the same stringent standards as outpatient surgical centers. “These loathsome restrictions and the deceitful method through which the Senate tried to pass them are an obvious effort to not simply prevent women in North Carolina from having comprehensive access to much-needed health care, but to not even give them an opportunity to weigh in on legislation that will have wide-ranging impacts on women and doctors all across our state,” Preston added. Sen. Warren Daniel (R-Morganton) told the News & Observer that abortion clinics should be regulated the same way as surgical centers. Just one clinic in the state currently meets that standard, which includes regulations on corridor widths and room sizes, among many others. “The politicians who responsible for this backdoor maneuvering have taken seriously the rising tide of activists gathering weekly outside the General Assembly to oppose anti-choice legislation. Unfortunately, the lesson they’ve taken is that the best way to accomplish their goals is to hide their maneuvers from the public,” said Suzanne Buckley of NARAL Pro-Choice North Carolina. Do you think closing the majority of abortion facilities will force women to seek extreme ways to get rid of unwanted children? Continue reading

Jesus Take The Wheel: 16 People Killed In Egypt As Supporters And Opponents Of Egypt’s President Clash

Isht is real in Egypt . Egypt In Crisis According to Mail Online Officials say sixteen people have been killed in clashes between supporters and opponents of Egypt’s president as the country faces the prospect of civil war. Unofficial sources claim the figure could be as many as 23. The death toll comes after a night of violence outside Cairo University, which also left as many as 200 injured. President Mohammed Morsi, who yesterday rebuffed an army ultimatum to force a resolution to Egypt’s political crisis, has made an emotional speech which was aired live to the nation. The confrontation has pushed the most populous Arab nation closer to the abyss amid a deepening economic crisis two years after the overthrow of Hosni Mubarak, raising concern in Washington, Europe and neighbouring Israel. But as anti-Morsi protests entered the third day, Egyptian shares jumped to a three-week high this morning. The bourse’s benchmark index jumped 4.9 per cent in early trade to its highest point since June 9 after a bank holiday on Monday to mark the start of a new fiscal year. Share prices fell 12 per cent in June amid fears that a mass protest called for June 30 might deteriorate into violence, further aggravating a deteriorating economy. Hopefully this senseless violence will stop. Shutterstock

Ho Sit Down: Angry Bird Naomi Campbell Continues To Terrorize Her Former Boy Toy Vlad And His New Chick Luo Zilin

Naomi has always been a nasty beyotch. We know you’re mad your over-the-hill azz shacked up with a married man and now he’s on to the next one, but let the girl eat. Naomi Still Terrorizing Ex According to Page Six A source close to Vlad — who has been divorced from Russian gal Ekaterina since 2010, according to documents seen by Page Six — tells us, “The desperate lies and misinformation coming from Naomi’s camp about Vlad and Luo are astounding. Naomi was working the phones, pushing to get Luo ousted. She said, ‘Jump,’ and [Luo’s agency] said, ‘How high?’ “Vlad and Luo are serious and are looking forward to a future where Naomi will stop harassing them both and they can all get on with their lives in peace.” Meanwhile, Naomi has been getting some emotional support from her supermodel pal Kate Moss. Sources tell us that fellow British beauty Moss had “practically moved in” with Naomi, who has had “a tough few weeks after splitting with Vlad.” A source close to Naomi said, “She is feeling a lot better and has put it all behind her. She is focusing on her show.” Naomi has been in London filming the British version of her US hit “The Face” and has repeatedly been seen with Moss. The pair partied with Grace Jones until 5 a.m. after attending the glamorous Serpentine Summer party in London on Wednesday evening. Reps for both Vlad and Naomi didn’t comment. These old birds need to stop trying to phuck up the next beyotch”s scrilla. He moved on because you lied down and allowed him to treat you as a doormat… what man shacks up with a woman that long and does not wife her?

For Discussion: Same-Sex Marriage To Resume In California….Do You Think America Is Taking A Step In The Right Direction?

Hooray for same-sex marriage . Same-Sex Marriage To Resume In California According to CNN The 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled Friday that same-sex marriages can resume in California, a move that the Supreme Court paved the way for on Wednesday. Three judges on the appeals court made it possible for local governments to issue marriage certificates for gay and lesbian couples with a few words: “The stay in the above matter is dissolved effective immediately.” Very soon after, California Attorney General Kamala Harris was already at San Francisco’s city hall marrying couples, according to her office. “I am thrilled that the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals lifted its stay to allow same-sex couples to legally marry in California,” Harris said in a statement. “Gay and lesbian couples have waited so long for this day and for their fundamental right to marry. Finally, their loving relationships are as legitimate and legal as any other.” California’s Supreme Court struck down the state’s ban on same-sex marriage in May 2008, ruling that the state’s constitution gives “this basic civil right to (marry to) all Californians, whether gay or heterosexual, and to same-sex couples as well as to opposite-sex couples.” But months later, 52% of voters backed Proposition 8 to once again restrict marriages so that they can only be between a man and a woman. The measure put gay and lesbian marriages on hold in the state, but a federal appeals court later rule Proposition 8 was unconstitutional. In a 5-4 decision, the U.S. Supreme Court dismissed an appeal of that federal court ruling on jurisdictional grounds. That meant that Friday’s news — and the resumption of same-sex marriages in the Golden State — was expected, even if the timing wasn’t fully known. This is great news, but more needs to be done for gay people’s rights in this country. Gay rights are civil rights.

Jesus Take The Wheel: 19-Year-Old Man Commits Suicide After Sheriff’s Office Jokingly Says He Is The Most Wanted Person Of The Month On Facebook

The person that wrote that post needs to be fired. Teen Commits Suicide After Facebook Post According to Mail Online A 19-year-old man committed suicide following a sarcastic Facebook post about his arrest warrant by his local sheriff’s office, his family said. The sister of Andrew Cain is demanding an apology from an Idaho sheriff’s deputy she says harassed her brother on the social networking site in the days before his death. Alise Smith said her brother’s decision to end his life was his own, but she believes the comments that he received about arrest warrants in Latah County became too much for him. The sheriff’s office in Idaho posted a picture of Andrew Cain with the message: ‘We have decided that Andrew Cain is no longer the Wanted Person of the Week… he is the Wanted Person of the Month of June. Congratulations!’ Smith, of Pullman, Washington, said a deputy also sent private messages to her brother on Facebook. Cain fatally shot himself Sunday, Whitman County Coroner Pete Martin said. Sheriff Wayne Rausch told the Associated Press that a deputy did exchange messages with Cain, but the printout he saw showed it was Cain who initiated the exchange by telling the deputy he liked his new wanted poster. The deputy replied that if Cain turned himself in, he’d give him a copy. ‘How this could be construed as taunting or rude or harassment or anything like that, I’m at a loss,’ Rausch said. Smith said she understood the ‘wanted poster’ but felt the ‘congratulations’ comment and the private messages were an abuse of power. Rausch said he told the employee who added the ‘congratulations’ to the post that it was not appropriate and not to do it again. Smith told KLEW-TV that she received a text from her brother early last week that said he felt like putting a bullet in his brain. The message included a screen shot of Facebook messages from a deputy, Smith said. ‘Eventually, it all just got too much to handle because other people were texting him and messaging him on Facebook and he just couldn’t handle all of the people telling him how awful a person he was,’ Smith told KLEW. Both Martin and Rausch called the death a tragedy. ‘That he felt necessary to end his life over facing consequences is tragic,’ Rausch said in his statement. We’re not being mean, but if that Facebook post was all it took for him to take his life then maybe his elevator didn’t go all the way to the top.

Pedo Files: Choreographer Wade Robson Says Michael Jackson Had Sex With Him At 7-Years-Old While His Sister Slept In The Same Room

Wade claims MJ was was moonwalking on his underage peen… Wade Robson Says Michael Jackson Had Sex With Him At Seven Years Old Michael Jackson allegedly made his move on Wade Robson when he was just seven years of ag e — as his sister slept in another bed just feet away at Neverland Ranch in Santa Barbara, California. Via RadarOnline reports: Robson, now 30, has told how the King of Pop made his first sexual advances on the young child prodigy in the star’s bedroom in 1990, as the Australia-born dancer’s older sister Chantal slept in the same room and often with his mother under the same roof. The abuse allegedly continued unabated for another two weeks and from then on, for a period of seven years. “We can never tell anyone what WE are doing,” Jackson told Robson, according to new court documents filed in the father-of-one’s creditor’s claim against the Estate of the late singer and obtained by RadarOnline.com. Now, Robson has alleged that Jackson “coached” him “every day” to provide certain statements against claims of molestation, beginning with the Jordy Chandler case in September 1993. “He would tell me that our phones were tapped and ‘they’ were listening to everything we said,” Robson said of private conversations with Jackson. “He would role play with me and say to me, ‘They are saying we did all of this disgusting sexual stuff. We never did any of that, right?’ I would play along and answer, ‘No way!’ He would say, ‘If they believed that we did any of this sexual stuff, YOU AND I would go to jail for the rest of our lives. Our lives and careers would be over. We’ve got to fight this. We’ve got to beat them together.” Jackson selected, hired and paid for the lawyer who represented Robson in relation to his testimony to the grand jury in the Chandler case, it was also revealed. Then, when Jackson was criminally charged in 2005, he again, allegedly, began to coach Robson. Do you think he is a legitimate victim or is he just looking for a pay day? Continue reading

Tell ‘Em Why You Mad: Lauryn Hill Goes Ham In Racist Rant On Tumblr Days Before She Heads To Prison

Lauryn , girl you didn’t pay your taxes and now you got to do the time boo. Lauryn Hill Rants On Tumblr Lauryn let loose on her Tumblr..she just didn’t give a phuck. Sweetie, the white man doesn’t want to hear how you come from slaves and all that radical black isht. Just stop with the rants, do your time, and give us some great music when you get out. We just want you to win. “The concept of reverse racism is flawed, if not absolutely ridiculous. Most, if not all of the negative responses from people of color toward white people, are reactions to the hatred, violence, cruelty and brutality that they were shown by white people for centuries. Much of the foundation of the modern world was built on the forced free labor of black peoples. The African Slave Trade, the institution of slavery, colonialism, its derivative systems, and the multiple holocausts throughout history, where whites used race as the defining reason to justify their oppression, conquest, and brutal treatment of non-white peoples, are how race became such a factor to begin with. The initial claim by the oppressors, followed a moral imperative (so they said) that people outside of Occidental and European birth were in savage and cursed conditions, and that God justified the captivity of these people, and the forced sex and pillage of their lands. In order to justify reverse racism one would have to first create an even playing field, undo the generations of torture, terror, and brutality, and then judge whether or not a non-white person is in fact a racist. This approach would require people to examine the need/addiction to feel superior to someone else for no justifiable reason, and the myriad policies: Spiritual, political and social, that it bore. True dominion is self evident and not the result of sabotaging another in order to achieve it. That would be an illegitimate as well as a fleeting position. The Universe, will eventually seek to right/balance itself. Of course there are white people who live transcendent lives, not exploiting ill-gotten privilege or perpetuating the sins of their ancestors who used violence and deceit as a means to gain advantage over others. Humanity in proper order is obligated to acknowledge the Truth, whoever it comes from, be they Black, White or other. Righteous indignation is simply a response to long-standing evil. Neurotic Society is a song about people not being, or not being able to be, who and what they truly are, due to the current social construct. I am not targeting any particular group of people, but rather targeting everyone in our society who hides behind neurotic behavior, rather than deal with it. The world we live in now is, in many ways, an abhorrent distortion, an accumulation of generations and generations of response to negative stimuli. Many don’t even have a concept of what normal is, by virtue of having lived afraid, ashamed, as victims of abuse, or inadequately handled for so long. I believe in coming up from under that fear and allowing the psyche/soul to truly heal. I understand that healing is a process, but I also believe that it is our responsibility to seriously care for ourselves, so that we can extend that level of concern for others and positively affect our environment. I want what is best for Humanity. Humanity, aligned with the Spiritual principles, that help each individual conquer fear, and transcend limited circumstance. I believe in healing and dealing with the traumatizing events of our lives, both in this lifetime, as well as those passed down to us, or inherited, so we can live as fully as possible.” Do you think Lauryn is batisht crazy or does she have a point?
