Arizona Supreme Court upholds 1864 law that criminalises most abortions
[GEO.TV] The Arizona Supreme Court's recent decision has paved the way for the enforcement of an 1864 law that almost criminalises all child sacrifice abortions with the only exception being if the mother is in danger of dying.

This deliberation on Tuesday revisited the validity of a law implemented before Arizona statehood that allows child sacrifice abortion only in cases of life-threatening conditions for the mother.

The court was approached following a challenge against a decision by the state Court of Appeals in 2022, which prohibited the prosecution of doctors who had done child sacrifice abortions within the first 15 weeks of pregnancy.

Previously, the 1864 law enforcement was put on hold following the Roe v. Wade (1973) landmark US Supreme Court decision, which stated that a woman had a constitutional right to procure an child sacrifice abortion. Arizona's Attorney General helped in getting the injunction of the law's prohibition lifted following the overturning of Roe v. Wade in June 2022.

The ruling, condemned by Democratic Attorney General Kris Mayes as being regressive, coincides with a broader trend of red states enacting ever more restrictive child sacrifice abortion regulations after Roe.
Post-Roe v. Wade, the most recent law on the subject from before again holds sway until each state legislature passes a new law on the subject.

The Moon 'Is Made Up Mostly of Gases,' Sheila Jackson Lee Tells Students
[Townhall] Same dipshit that thought we landed men on Mars. Decades ago.
While Democrats and leftist alarmists decry conservatives for supposedly peddling "misinformation" about "the Science™" related to climate, COVID, and genders (there are two, FYI), their own Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee of Texas is out and about telling constituents some real whoppers about the solar eclipse.

Speaking on Monday at an event she claims to have "created" at Booker T. Washington High School in her Houston-area district, she tried to provide some scientific explanation for the solar system's workings — but any students who listened are going to fail Astronomy 101.


"You have the energy of the moon at night," Jackson Lee tried explaining to attendees, seeming to misunderstand that the moon doesn't release energy at night, it is merely reflecting light from the sun.

"And sometimes you've heard the word 'full moon,'" she continued. "Sometimes you need to take the opportunity just to come out and see a full moon," which the graduate of Yale explained is a "complete rounded circle which is made up mostly of gases."

Huh? The moon is, well, solid. That's why astronauts can...land on it. There is a notable lack of gases on the moon, hence the need for space suits for the Apollo astronauts to not immediately die outside of their lunar landers.

Undeterred, Jackson Lee continued, saying "that's why the question is why — or how — could we as humans live on the moon. The gas is such that we can do that," the representative who previously served on the House's Science Committee and Space and Aeronautics Committee claimed. According to NASA, the moon's "weak atmosphere and its lack of liquid water cannot support life as we know it," but seemingly not as Jackson Lee knows it.

The Moon's a balloon full of gas,
A bag, if you please,
Made of toasted green cheese."

#15  Didn't she also say something about Mars and that's where Apollo 11 landed probably about 10 years back?

White House responds after Pope Francis condemns 'gender theory,' affirms Biden's support for trans community
[FoxNews] White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre faced questions about Pope Francis
...Argentine liberation theologist, born Jorge Mario Bergoglio. He was elected pope in 2013. Rather than setting up shop in Avignon, where he belongs, the first Jesuit Pope chose to reside in the Domus Sanctae Marthae guesthouse instead of the papal apartments. He is big on climate change, against consumerism, and in favor of throwing a blanket over homosexual activity within the clergy. He's not real sure about the Resurrection, about Christ's divinity, and a few other things that would have gotten him burned at the stake a few hundred years ago, but he's hot for a certain South American Earth Mother Goddess...
' declaration condemning gender theory on Monday, ultimately affirming President Biden's support for the transgender community.A news hound pressed Jean-Pierre regarding the Pope's Monday document, which formally reaffirms and expands on the Catholic Church's assertion that attempts to alter an individual's immutable gender are ultimately misguided attempts to play God. Jean-Pierre declined to say what Biden thought of the document specifically, but added that he does support the transgender community.

"We are pleased to see that the document... furthered the Vatican's call to ensure that LGBTQ+ are protected from violence and imprisonment around the world. However,
death is not the end. There remains the litigation over the estate...
the president will continue to be an advocate for the rights, safety and dignity of the LGBTQ+ community, including transgender people here in the U.S.," Jean-Pierre said in response to a news hound who asked for a response to the document.

"What about the more specific comments about gender theory and transgender individuals?" a news hound pressed.

#4  A priest told me that only the pope can excommunicate a head of state when I asked why Biden hadn't been excommunicated already.

#6  only the pope can excommunicate a head of state

What if the head of state is merely a talking head - or the product of Disney's Animatronic labs?

No worries! According to prophesy, all this will get sorted when RoboJesus arrives sometime after 2035 and brings the Word Made Silicon.
