Abortion ‘Gender Affirming Care’
Topic: Abortion
Source: Daily Wire
Planned Parenthood said abortion is “gender-affirming care” Monday in a social media post declaring that “reproductive freedom means every person gets to decide what’s right for their own body. No exceptions.” The abortion giant made the claim less than one month after Planned Parenthood’s federal funding resumed and as the organization has increasingly cashed in on expanding transgender procedures for minors.

There are now two former NBA players to announce such a decision, after Enes Kanter Freedom made his announcement earlier on Friday. "I'm transgender. I'm a woman. I identify as sometimes identifying as a woman for purpose of basketball, professional basketball, so I'll be declaring for the WNBA draft in 2027 as well," White said.

... for schools K-12 sparks backlash. The country's two biggest teachers unions are working to get diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) ideology into artificial intelligence models before they are used in grades K-12, sparking backlash from at least one education and parental rights advocacy group. The unions, the National Education Association and the American Federation of Teachers, essentially say they are making such efforts, including becoming involved in the process at state-level education departments, to mitigate AI models' "algorithmic bias."

New Mexico Judge Bryan Biedscheid compared Meta to air pollution and called it a “public nuisance.” “Although Meta is not alone in this regard, its social media platforms are a significant contributing factor to the current mental health crisis among New Mexico’s youth established by the substantial evidence in this case,” Judge Bryan Biedscheid wrote in the ruling on Thursday

The Financial Consequences Of 'Gray' Divorce
Topic: Children and Family
Source: The Epoch Times
Divorce after 50 can dramatically reshape your retirement, making careful financial planning more important than ever. Gray divorce refers to divorce among adults ages 50 and over. And although divorce among younger adults has been declining over the past 15 years, according to Pew Research, gray divorce is on the rise. Although any divorce can be financially difficult, gray divorce is especially hard on retirement because it halves accumulated savings. It can also double living expenses by creating two separate households. The danger of a gray divorce is that, unlike a divorce in your 30s where you have time to make up for the financial loss, there is little time left in your 50s or 60s to rebuild wealth.

Todd Blanche Wants to Finish What “Dobbs” Started
Topic: Abortion
Source: The Nation
In a private call before his confirmation vote, the AG said Trump officials are working to make the decision ending the national right to abortion “permanent in every single state.” When the Supreme Court handed down Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization in 2022, overturning Roe v. Wade, its defenders insisted the ruling was an act of judicial restraint and a decision that returned the question of abortion to democratic majorities in each state. The United States’ top lawyer, Todd Blanche, apparently has other ideas.

The Bureau of Prisons Built a Men’s Unit Inside a Women’s Prison
Topic: Political Correctness
Source: The Victory Girls Blog
...and the Men Still Aren’t Happy. They actually did it. Federal Medical Center Carswell, a women’s prison in Fort Worth, Texas, now has a separate unit for male inmates who identify as women. The courts couldn’t agree on what to do with them. D.C. District Judge Royce Lamberth, a Reagan appointee, blocked their transfer out of women’s facilities. Another judge ordered them kept away from the female population. So the Bureau of Prisons carved out a men’s wing inside the women’s prison and started moving more of them there.

Mamdani’s Jim Crow 2.0
Topic: Political Correctness
Source: Washington Examiner
An old saying suggests that actions speak louder than words. Assuming that to be true, New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani is an ardent supporter of identification requirements — requirements that many Democrats, including powerful legislators in his state, categorized as oppressive, racist, bigoted, and analogous to the racial segregation practices known as Jim Crow. Mamdani once again showed that Democrats wholeheartedly support identification requirements when they align with their political ambitions and interests. When they do object to them, it is nothing more than hyperbolic performative nonsense.

The Future of Race-Based Scholarships in Higher Education
Topic: Political Correctness
Source: James G. Martin Center
It’s now been three years since the United States Supreme Court declared that race may never be used as a “negative” or operate as a “stereotype” in higher education. While that landmark case, Students for Fair Admissions v. Harvard, dismantled affirmative action in admissions, race still lingers as a factor in many other areas of higher education. One such area is financial aid—specifically grants and scholarships. The National Scholarship Providers Association estimates that 11% of all higher-education scholarships still contain eligibility requirements for race, ethnicity, or other demographic factors, even after SFFA. Race-based scholarships, though, are facing increasing scrutiny.

Chris Cuomo Justifies Vaccine Heart Damage in Kids Because ‘Very Few’ Affected. To say Chris “Fredo” Cuomo left CNN in disgrace in 2021 would be to assume he’s capable of shame. His comments and behavior over the years signal something else, which is why his latest comments on the health risks of the COVID-19 vaccine to children really can’t come as much of a surprise to anyone who’s been paying attention. Remember, this is someone who was reported to have provided damage control counsel to his brother Andrew, the governor of New York at the time, when he was accused of sexual harassment. OK, blood is thicker than any CNN contract, but it wasn’t much of a secret at his employer’s offices and studios. And so, he had to conduct some damage control for himself after that...

Let the men play... It's time for the WNBA to stop discriminating
Topic: Gender Discrimination
Source: Just Kira Davis
WARNING. Satire. There is a controversy brewing in women’s professional basketball. Some bigoted, weak women are insisting on gatekeeping the WNBA. Against whom? Biological men. Sophie Cunningham may be one of the most talented and tenacious players in the league, and she may have brought an unprecedented amount of attention to the WNBA, but she’s shown her true colors by insisting on the W part of the WNBA. I mean, what kind of woman does that? Doesn’t she know men are women too?
