SCOTUS shifts to PROLIFE is good news for baby humans

I, Gloria Poole, Registered Nurse, artist, writer, cartoonist, white, Christian U S citizen woman, unmarried but divorced twice, am posting this news today because I am always and forever OPPOSED to the premeditated killing of tiny, defenseless human babies in utero, and I intend to make as many arguments in support of human life as possible. Our as in "we the people of the United States" United States has always been for the under-dog. The underdog in the abortion war of words is the UNBORN /PREBORN HUMAN in the womb who cannot cry out "save me from evil". I urge all GOOD citizens to encourage The U S Supreme Court to END ABORTION as a so-called "right" since GOD HIMSELF said it is a wrong in Exodus 20:13, KJV. Also to remember the Preamble to the U S Constitution that says we have the "right to life". I have written more of my comments at the bottom of this post but please read the news articles snippets I have included here. I promote those who uphold the right to life and do not quote those who promote killing. IF one read every newspaper in U S you could clearly tell which ones take ad money from killing machine euphemistically labeled "planned parenthood" because those so-called "news agencies" are in the pocket of the BILLION dollar baby-killing-industry. Stop and ask yourself these questions:1) did the historical regime of Nazi Germany protest when the allies including the United States began bombing to get Hitler's attention? 2) Did the propaganda by some "news agencies" increase to show pics of Hitler at home playing with his dogs as a way of fooling public that he wasn't so bad after all? [The BBC says those articles appeared.] 3) Did the Resistance movement quit when the going got tough? NO not according to history, they ramped up their activities. At University of Georgia Business School when I was there as a student*, there was a saying "when the going gets tough, the tough get going!" 4) Did those powers that be of the allies ask their respective nations if they should continue to ignore the mass murders of Jews, Christians via the Nazi gas ovens, or should they take action? 5) Did American soldiers refuse to go to fight that war? Historically no they didn't. 6) Do Americans believe it is all right to kill an innocent baby to save a grown woman? NO! 7) IS KILLING OF INNOCENTS ANYWHERE WRITTEN AS A RIGHT IN THE ACTUAL WORDS OF THE CONSTITUTION? NO! That so-called "right" does not actually exist in our U S Constitution. IF you doubt it read the Constitution--it's on line via Cornell Univ Law School and other places. It was an imaginary "penumbra of rights"conjured u by evil people who sat on Supreme Court in yr 1963 that has caused the loss of 100 MILLION U S citizens who would have paid taxes. These United States are disintegrating--almost 30 TRILLION dollars in debt, supply chain vanishing, stores empty--the curses of GOD as foretold in Deuteronomy chapter 28, KJV, are coming upon this nation. But we the good people can reverse that. Please read all of this post for the actions and quotes of others.

Also, the Chief Justice at time of Roe according to history wrote that if the personhood of the baby in the womb was ever medically established then the baby in the womb would AUTOMATICALLY be included in the 14th Amendment. The humanity of the baby in the womb was established almost simultaneously with the Roe decision, which could have been the impetus for that heinous decision. Scroll down to read more of the medical arguments against abortion.

MEDICAL fact #1: it was established fact medically when ultrasound technology was invented that humans in the womb are human from the get-go.

Medical fact #2: ONLY humans have human DNA which can be detected scientifically even when mixed with clay, dirt, blood, poop, animals'dna .

Medical fact #3: the "law of the species"is that each species reproduces after its own kind and ONLY after its own kind. That means humans create HUMANS, not dogs or cats or animals!

Medical fact#4: the human in the womb is a SEPARATE person from the mother.The baby's body developes so rapidly it is astonishing! The baby has a separate heart beat from the mother, and a separate heart, and a separate brain, and a separate body and the capacity for emotion --babies in the womb hear and recognize their mother's voice early on, and their mothers'heartbeat. Babies in the womb kick the mother if she scrunches them too much by squeezing her uterus by sitting in certain way. Babies in the womb feel pain, joy, peace, and they sleep, and suck their thumbs. All of this has been documented with photos in the womb and with ultrasouns.

Medical fact #5: humans in the womb secrete their own hormones that can be detected by a lab in the blood draws and urine tests of the mother.

"The US supreme court heard oral arguments on Wednesday in the most significant abortion rights case since the landmark 1973 supreme court ruling in Roe v Wade, which effectively legalized abortion in the US.

The case, Dobbs v Jackson Women’s Health Organization, pits the leadership of Mississippi against the state’s last abortion clinic.

The state seeks to ban abortion after 15 weeks gestation and asks the highest court to overturn Roe...

Some conservative justices signaled a readiness to back Mississippi and threaten Roe. Justice Brett Kavanaugh appeared to challenge the principle of precedent and listed numerous landmark cases where the court overturned previous decisions, such as Brown v Board of Education on school segregation.

Justice Amy Coney Barrett, nominated by Donald Trump like Kavanaugh, suggested adoption services could nullify the need for abortion, by removing the burdens of “forced parenting”.

{My comment as an aisde to that: the U S Dept of Education has o problem whatsoever with "forcing parenthood"when it suits them with truancy laws, requiring parents to buy expensive laptops/tablets/teach themselves teachers'skills etc to take control over mandatory students.]... Veteran justice Clarence Thomas challenged the notion that there is a constitutional right to abortion, saying that it is not clearly laid out the way the second amendment is on “the right to bear arms”....

Chief justice John Roberts asked what the effects would be of moving the Roe limit – allowing termination until a fetus is viable outside the womb, around 24 weeks – earlier in the pregnancy. “If you think that the issue is one of choice ... viability … doesn’t have anything to do with choice. If it really is an issue about choice, why is 15 weeks [Mississippi’s limit] not enough time?” he said.

Justice Samuel Alito questioned whether fetal viability is even an appropriate line for the court to have drawn.

and more on that:

"The U.S. Supreme Court appears poised to dramatically weaken legal abortion protections —

and it could completely overturn the landmark Roe v. Wade ruling next summer — after oral arguments in Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization on Wednesday.

The state of Mississippi defended a law passed by its Legislature in 2018 that imposes a ban on abortion at 15 weeks of gestation, and it appeared likely that at least five of the nine justices would uphold It....

Yet there were plenty of indications that there might be five votes to overturn Roe entirely. In that case, most abortions would be illegal in roughly half the states while remaining legal in the other half, according to state abortion laws currently on the books."...

...the three most conservative justices on the court — Clarence Thomas, Samuel Alito and Neil Gorsuch — appeared ready to overturn Roe entirely...

And so that left Barrett as the likely deciding vote in whether to limit abortion rights or whether to send the issue to the states entirely.

It was clear that Barrett, the newest justice and a devout Catholic, was not receptive to the idea that limits on abortion placed an undue burden on women, one of the legal pillars of the argument for abortion rights. Barrett talked about safe haven laws, which “allow mothers to leave their unwanted babies in designated locations such as hospitals or churches without fear of being charged with a crime.”...

If Barrett and Kavanaugh side with the court’s most conservative wing and throw out the right to abortion, abortion would remain legal only in states that allow it.

“Twelve states would immediately restrict abortion if Roe disappears, and others would be likely to impose significant new restrictions,” reported Axios.

But the fight would then move to whether the court might in the future make the opposite judgment:

that abortion is unconstitutional and should be illegal in most cases across the country..

“The right-to-life movement is aiming for the recognition of personhood and the outlawing of every abortion, nationwide. Roe is just the beginning.”

{My comment: imagine how much fury would hit the fan and streets if any court in US said we have to THINK about if jews are persons? or if they said we have to think about if muslims are persons? or if it said we have to think about IF black or brown people are persons? PERSONHOOD is the only obvious, sane, reasonable solution to the so-called problem of quote " unwanted humans when they are the most defenseless and helpless". SCOTUS should entirely OVERTURN /do away with/ end the heinous sin against GOD and crime against humanity of abortion. MEDICAL fact #1: it was established fact medically when ultrasound technology was invented that humans in the womb are human from the get-go. Medical fact #2: ONLY humans have human DNA which can be detected scientifically even when mixed with clay, dirt, blood, poop, etc. Medical fact #3: the "law of the species"is that each species reproduces after its own kind and ONLY after its own kind. that means humans create HUMANS, not dogs or cats or animals!] Medical fact#4: the human in the womb is a SEPARATE person from the mother. Medical fact #5: humans in the womb secrete their own hormones that can be detected by a lab in the blood draws and urine tests of the mother. ]

Haters of GOD mock a faithful witness in Congress but Yahoo defends faith, thank GOD!:

"Rep. Madison Cawthorn (R-N.C.) has come under fire after commenting on abortion during a House floor speech Friday,...

"He appears to have been quoting 2 Corinthians, an early Christian letter generally attributed to the apostle Paul. In the New King James translation, the passage reads, "For it is the God who commanded light to shine out of darkness, who has shone in our hearts to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ. But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellence of the power may be of God and not of us." Since Paul includes himself as one of the "earthen vessels," the term cannot refer solely to women. Many biblical scholars view it as a reference to the physical bodies humans possess. With this interpretation in mind, it seems Cawthorn, a vocal evangelical Christian, was using "earthen vessels" to refer not to the mother's body, but to the body of the unborn baby."

5Dec2021;10:45am [from The Week]

"WASHINGTON — It’s taken decades, but anti-abortion activists feel they are on the brink of history after the Supreme Court ruled Wednesday that they were willing to weaken Roe v. Wade, and they are already preparing on the inevitable battle on multiple fronts that will take place, if the court rules in their favor....

“We’ve been working toward this goal for many years, so I think we’re fully prepared for it,” said Carol Tobias, the chair of the National Right to Life Committee.

“We have 50 state affiliates and state legislators across the country ready to take on the challenge.”...

Analysts after Wednesday’s Supreme Court pleadings say the conservative majority, backed by former President Donald Trump’s three new appointees, appears ready to green-light the 15-week abortion ban in Mississippi, which likely leaves a huge gap. would hit in Roe’s 24-week limit....

“This has been a decades-long battle on multiple fronts to bring together state action, the political movement to appoint leaders who would appoint and confirm the Supreme Court justices we now have, and a cultural battle spurred on by the political and policy battles,” said Mallory Quigley, vice president of communications at anti-abortion Susan B. Anthony List....

“Mississippi is one of the most, if not the most, conservative states in the entire United States, but 39 countries in Europe would still have stricter laws than us,” Mississippi Governor Tate Reeves told Fox Business. The Susan B. Anthony List, which along with its affiliate super PAC spent $52 million on the 2020 presidential election, has already budgeted more than $70 million for the 2022 midterms. The group has begun knocking on doors in key battlefield states and picked a governor candidate for its first approval of the year, signaling its priorities are shifting to state capitals.

“We want pro-life candidates to attack. We want our pro-life candidates to continue to join us in educating the American people,” Quigley said.

"By the time Donald Trump ran for president, evangelical Protestants had become more anti-abortion than the Catholic voters who were once the bedrock of anti-abortion advocacy. Seventy-seven per cent of white evangelical Christians say the procedure should be illegal, compared with just 43% of Catholics, according to the Pew Research Center."

With obvious caveats, the oral arguments suggested that the conservatives who make up a majority will uphold the Mississippi law and possibly go the full way to overturn Roe v. Wade..""

SCOTUS; therefore choose life: overturn Roe decision please for sake of our nation

As always, this blog is written by me Gloria Poole,Registered Nurse, artist in Springfield Missouri. For the record however, I was born in state of Georgia and my first Registered Nurse license was in Georgia for 26 years. Thanks to all my loyal through the years readers! I am updating this blog with quotes and news that indicates to me that abortion is not going away. Regardless of how many lost women march demanding the so-called "right"to kill their offspring, no such right exists in U S law. Nor does any such right exist in God's laws which are more important. Remember the commandments "thou shalt not kill", Exodus 20:13, KJV. We, prolife activists, should hold up in prayer the leadership of Texas who, along with Mississippi, have petititoned The U S Supreme Court to overturn the Roe decision, and that is good news for baby humans! Please read the articles included as sources of quotes and watch CBS news video also included.

Quote:

"Properly understood, the Constitution does not protect a right to elective abortion," Paxton's filing said,

adding that the state law furthers "Texas's interest in protecting unborn life, which exists from the outset of pregnancy."

Please remember also that these United States are a REPUBLIC which means we elect people to Congress who debate the issues and cast their votes. A REPUBLIC is based upon written laws that were decided before hand. The U S Constitution is "the land of the land"by its own authority and the amendments to it specifically define the liberties [also called "rights"] of its citizens. It is important for all citizens to be educated as to what our true laws are, so I ask you all to click on the link provided and read the amendments to know what rights you have as a U S citizen:

http://hrlibrary.umn.edu/education/all_amendments_usconst.htm

Link: All amendments to the U S Constitution are on this site: http://hrlibrary.umn.edu/education/all_amendments_usconst.htm

Specifically the 14th amendment should cover humans in the womb because humans are persons and persons are human:

AMENDMENT XIV - Passed by Congress June 13, 1866. Ratified July 9, 1868.

Note: Article I, section 2, of the Constitution was modified by section 2 of the 14th amendment.

Section 1.

All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws. Also, tonite, 21 Oct 2021 I watched this video and it makes its case that the U S is a house divided as before the civil war. Please watch CBS news video " An uncivil war--the evangelical divide": https://www.cbsnews.com/video/cbsn-originals-an-uncivil-war-the-evangelical-divide/

and notice these truths spoken in that video by evangelical Pastors:

" every Pastor in America needs to stand up for God";

"Make America godly again";

"Planned Parenthood... is satanism--they're killing babies in this city";

"no middle ground" [between good and evil]; [comment : and isn't that what Jesus said, you are either for me or against me?

Note in video at end of it says that Pastor Craig Locke was banned from [atheist] Twitter for expressing religious beliefs which our U S Constitution gives citizens the right to do. I was also suspended from Twitter and no cause was ever given me but I am reasonably certain it was because I tweeted PROLIFE news/events/ beliefs during a federal election, which I have authority to do.

More Prolife news that shows trend in U S is away from the premeditated killing of human babies in utero:

"The resolution states that Sebastian County [NW Arkansas] is declaring its commitment to "the protection of all lives, including the lives of the unborn." It cites Arkansas Act 392 of 2021, which affirms a municipality's right to declare itself a "Pro-Life City" via a resolution, as well as Amendment 68 to the Arkansas Constitution, which states in part: "The policy of Arkansas is to protect the life of every unborn child from conception until birth, to the extent permitted by the Federal Constitution."

The Quorum Courts of Benton and Washington counties both approved similar "Pro Life County" resolutions in July."

https://www.nwaonline.com/news/2021/oct/20/sebastian-county-passes-pro-life-resolution/?n

Anti-abortion to ISU:

Also, I have recently updated with different news and comments other prolife blogs of mine:https://save-the-baby-humans.blogspot.com, with Bible scriptures supporting the Biblical belief; and also another prolife blog of mine at: https://publishing-life.blogspot.com. I ask you to please read those also as they contain important information on this national debate.

Also, this was emailed to me to help publicize: you can order a save the baby humans t-shirt at this site:

https://refinedreformed.com/products/save-baby-humans-panda-shirt-abolish-human-abortion-shirt.

I do not get compensation of any sort for writing this blog nor for telling prolife activists where they can order a prolife t-shirt. I also do not vouch for that company since I read about it and have not ordered from them.

I add that in to this post because I am an individual, a private citizen, not an ngo. There is no authority in the United States to censor the political nor religious speech of its citizens.

GOD is doing great things to end killing of babies in US

I am a prolife Registered Nurse, for a long time. I was fired once for questioning in operating room if a case with vague wording was an abortion, which I said I would not participate/help with in any way whatsoever. I have endured 20 years of persecution for being prolife in the only country in the world that guarantees its citizens freedom of Press, speech and religion. I wrote that to get to this: I realized that in spite of annual prolife marches, hundreds of prolife organization across these United States, that the premeditated, planned executions in the style of butchering of human babies was still tolerated and still promoted actively as a gruesome "right". Though in reality it is not. In our real, true law of the land, there are only the "rights" enumerated in the U S Constitution which cannot be simply modified by an act of demogogue Pelosi. For the U S Constitution to be amended, there must be a Constitutional Convention, that agrees it should be amended and 2/3 of the states must vote on it. There is no such "right'as the right to butcher human babies! And GOD willing there never will be.

So, a few months ago I changed my prayers on this topic of : "Father GOD in heaven, I have done everything I know to do to end the gruesome slaughter of babies. I have marched, lobbied in Washington DC, wrote millions of letters/emails/tweets/blog posts promoting the cause of sustaining human life; yet it remains a battle in Congress. What are YOU Father GOD going to do to end abortion? When are you going to rise up and remove from office those who have upheld the premeditated slaughter of human babies as a so-called "right"? In the New Testament, Jesus warned Jerusalem that no 2 stones would be left unturned there in the wrath of GOD, for refusing the words of The Messiah. So, in U S, what must citizens who abhor what is going on in U.S. to do to end the heinous events going on in major cities across U.S. that is a hundred times worst than the Nazi Holocaust? Is praying and asking for God's supernatural intervention the answer? Can you GOD remove from office those who promote/advocate/pay for the deliberate slaughter of human babies?"

Now, in todays' news and news of past couple of weeks is evidence the tide is turning against abortion in 2 Southern States: Florida and Texas. I am including snippets from those news storeis because they are exciting news:

PROLIFE news: "LUBBOCK, Texas, Sept 24 (Reuters) - Texas Governor Greg Abbott on Friday signed a new law that restricts access to abortion-inducing medications, just weeks after the state rolled out a near-total ban on abortion procedures. The law on medications prohibits mail-order abortion-inducing drugs and says doctors in the state are only allowed to prescribe them up to seven weeks after conception. Previously that restriction was set at 10 weeks. "Texas continues to lead the way in protecting unborn children and fostering a culture of life," Abbott said in a written statement. "We have taken monumental steps to save babies from the ravages of abortion.".. On Sept. 1, a new Texas law went into effect that bans the procedure after a fetal heartbeat is detected - which is at about six weeks in most cases. Abortion rights groups say that 85% to 90% of all abortions are carried out after six weeks.

Florida to ban most abortions, hopefully. Wahoo!

"The bill, proposed by state Representative Webster Barnaby, a Republican, would require doctors in Florida to perform tests to determine if a fetus has a detectable heartbeat before performing an abortion.  If a physician detects a heartbeat, according to the bill, abortion would be prohibited. The measure also would allow doctors to be sued if suspected of performing an abortion after detecting a heartbeat, matching a powerful provision in the Texas law, known as Senate Bill Eight, or SB-8. " ...Early this month, a sharply divided U.S. Supreme Court refused to block the Texas law, which outlaws most abortions after six weeks of pregnancy. Senate Bill 8, bars abortion after a fetal heartbeat can be detected and puts clinics at risk of being shut down if they are found to be in violation."

More on that:

"A state legislator in Florida has introduced an abortion restriction bill similar to a controversial law that took effect in Texas earlier this month. The new bill, HB 167, introduced Wednesday in the Florida House of Representatives by Rep. Webster Barnaby, would ban most abortions in the state and would allow people to file civil lawsuits against doctors who violate the law."

"This week a Republican lawmaker filed an anti-abortion bill in the Florida House.  The bill would ban abortions as early as a month after conception. Like the Texas law, it has a so-called “bounty provision,” which allows anyone to sue doctors or anyone who assists with an abortion after what supporters call a “fetal heartbeat” is detected. https://news.wjct.org/post/dr-joseph-ladapo-appointed-surgeon-general-texas-style-anti-abortion-bill;

25Sept2021; 9:45am in email to me;

Quote from The Democrat Tribune letter to editor:

"The abortion/anti-abortion issue is not going away anytime soon. The Supreme Court imposed abortion on demand in 1973. People of faith have had a perpetual battle with this shameful issue as it coincides with God’s Sixth Commandment, “Thou shalt not kill.” The court has rewritten American history by postulating a godless government, when our founding fathers established a government on God-given rights, which in this case is a right to life. In this year of 2021, in probably the most radical pro-abortion administration in history, Republican governors in multiple states have signed bills banning abortion and throughout the states more than 500 pro-life initiatives have been proposed. The delays and problems have been with Democrats and the courts."

For the record, I am Republican.

Also, a reminder about liberties of citizens, including prolife R.N., I am including a quote from a Press Release from FBI that was emailed to me :

, "U.S. Attorney Fleming stated, “We must continue to honor the promise that ‘all [people] are created equal,’ and where equality is compromised or threatened, strive to see it restored. No citizen should be victimized based upon their real or perceived race, religion, national origin, gender, sexual orientation, gender identity, or disability. The United States Attorney’s Office stands shoulder-to-shoulder with the FBI and other State and Federal partners in their efforts to identify and prosecute ‘hate crimes’ in all forms. We encourage citizens to report these crimes and offer our committed effort to hold the offenders accountable.”

24Sept2021;7:09am

If you are a born again believer in The Living Lord Jesus, remember that Jesus said obey the commandments, including "thou shalt not kill"and that HE said, "let the children come...". You cannot be a good Christian while promoting premeditated slaughter of human beings when they are the tiniest, most defenseless. I also believe you also cannot be a good Jew nor a good Muslim either if you promote/participate in killing of innocent babies.

OVERTURN Roe v Wade: YES,YES,YES

This is the best news for baby humans in a very long time. Twelve states and 228 Congress Members have petitioned U S Supreme Court to overturn Roe v Wade decision. I am including snippets from the Press about those states and their amicus brief to SCOTUS:

Missouri Gov. Mike Parson has added his name to the growing list of GOP elected officials asking the U.S. Supreme Court to overturn the 1973 Roe v. Wade decision that legalized abortion. Parson and 11 other Republican governors submitted an amicus brief on Thursday in a Mississippi case weighing whether state laws that ban abortions before fetal viability are constitutional." https://www.yahoo.com/news/missouri-gov-parson-signs-convince-222024936.html;

Also, I received this info via email to help publicize:

Quote:" WASHINGTON (BP)—The Southern Baptist Ethics and Religious Liberty Commission urged U.S. Senate leaders Friday to reinstate long-standing, pro-life policies removed from spending bills by the House of Representatives"

The request from the ERLC came after the Democratic-controlled House approved appropriations bills July 28 and 29 that eliminated the Hyde Amendment and other measures that either prohibit federal funding of abortion or protect the conscience rights of pro-life, health-care workers and institutions. The spending bills without the pro-life “riders,” as they are known, are expected to face a challenge in the Senate, which is divided evenly between the two political parties....Messengers to the 2021 SBC Annual Meeting in June approved a resolution that denounced any attempt to rescind the Hyde Amendment and urged the retention of all pro-life “riders,” ... In the letter, the ERLC is “calling upon Senate leadership and pro-life senators to stand strong and ensure preborn lives will not be in jeopardy and consciences will not be compromised,” she said. “The message is simple: respect precedent, restore Hyde.”

The letter was sent to [pro-abort] Majority Leader Charles Schumer, D-N.Y.;[ prolife] Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky.; [pro-abort] Appropriations Committee Chairman Patrick Leahy, D-Vt.; and Richard Shelby, R-Ala., the ranking member of the committee.

The ERLC, which has worked for a comprehensive ban on federal funding of abortion, included the protection of pro-life “riders” in spending legislation as one of its priorities in its 2021 Public Policy Agenda. In May, it joined in a letter signed by more than 60 other pro-life advocates that asked Senate and House leaders to maintain the bans.

The Hyde Amendment and similar bans in federal programs must be approved each year as “riders” to spending bills. Hyde includes exceptions for a threat to the mother’s life, rape and incest."

I received this via email to help publicize.

[Catholic Archbishop Salvatore ...]"Cordileone also said being anti-abortion is a "universal moral good — that innocent life should be protected. All religions embrace that. All people of sound mind and good reason embrace this principle."... "Let me repeat," Cordileone writes, "no one can claim to be a devout Catholic and condone the killing of innocent human life, let alone have the government pay for it. The right to life is a fundamental – the most fundamental – human right, and Catholics do not oppose fundamental human rights."

My condolences to UK Queen Eliz,Prince Charles,Prince William

The world knows by now that UK's Prince Phillip died this past Friday [2 days ago]. I always admired him. He spoke what was in his heart without self-censorship. My own daddy also had that characteristic and never sugar coated his words, his commands, his instructions, and tolerated no nonsense. We citizens of the United States including me, have been so bombarded with fake news, fake "truth", so-called "politically correct" nonsense that whenever the news published another quote of Prince Philip that the liberal Press considered outrageous, it was like a breath of fresh air to world.

I was born in the state of Georgia [and was educated there and got my first Registered Nurse license there long ago, and graduated from University of Georgia also]. Georgia is one of the original 13 colonies and was named after the man King George who was King of England [as it was called then] when Georgia was settled by those who sailed from England. In Georgia's civil history school lessons we Georgians were taught much about British history--the functions of its Parliament and how our Congress evolved from it; and the blood lines of the Stuarts, Plantagenets, Windsors. It's all familiar to me because I studied it as a child. I still follow their news on a daily basis. I also visited the UK twice and had a Registered Nurse license there for several years [and currently have a Registered Nurse license in Missouri]. I am writing all of thisfor readers to understand the background of this post.

I want to make a public note of the honor that I think Prince Philip deserves as the Consort [husband] of the present Queen Elizabeth II. I understood that he could not be given title of King because then he would have out-ranked The Queen who inherited the Monarchy from her father. In following the news of the royal family, it seems to me that Prince Philip served the United Kingdom very well in his role. From all words, videos I have seen, or heard of Queen Elizabeth it was always obvious that she loved her husband very much and that in itself is an accomplishment after their 70 years of marriage. Not many couples remain in love that long.

Here are some of the news videos, and photos and words written by BBC about him:

Here is something else that viewers will probably enjoy . I found it fascinating since I had never heard the Maori language spoken or other languages in the video on youtube of UK Celebration of their Commonwealth of nations. The songs, poem, drums in this video are a fitting tribute to the UK as a nation. See BBC video at:

On web 9Apr 2021; 8:05pm.

Also, a change of topic for a bit since this is a health blog of mine. I quote from an email sent to me :

"John Finnis [who] is the Biolchini Family Professor of Law Emeritus at the University of Notre Dame says the 14th amendment should include humans in the womb, in a specific detailed discussion of the common law on the topic of abortion and that the citizens of these United States [and not the Supreme Court] should decide if 14th amendment includes those in womb. I quote :"it is for the people to decide whether to amend the Fourteenth Amendment. That decision process would be a raw debate about the truth of the nature and dignity of persons: persons born, persons on the way to birth, and the persons who brought them into being. Meantime, it will sooner or later be for the Court to say, more truthfully than Roe, what the people who ratified the Fourteenth Amendment committed the nation to by choosing to write and adopt what they did about persons, ". Read entire legal discussion at:

https://www.firstthings.com/web-exclusives/2021/04/born-and-unborn-answering-objections-to-constitutional-personhood

It is past time for the Congress of the United States to put forth a Constitutional Amendment to include humans in the womb, who have human DNA, which is distinguishable from any other species'DNA, up to vote to include them as lawful "persons"in the 14th Amendment. End the premeditated killing of tiny, defenseless humans. let the United States become the nation that protects and preserves human life.

I Also read some news that probably also affects the United States on the subject of the covid vaccines. I am posting the website addresses of those articles as a public notice of those events:

Quote: "The European Medicines Agency found a link between the Oxford-AstraZeneca COVID-19 shot and rare blood clots.

FBI alerts nation possible 2nd attack on Washington DC

I, Gloria Poole,Registered Nurse, am posting this summary of news today to this blog of mine in particular on purpose. The summary includes some health care news but mostly I want all to know that FBI after searching social media anticipates another attack on our nation's capitol and the capitols of all 50 states. Please read the articles. I am including links but not linking the articles because I am hacked often. Use your web browser to read them please. I will number them for ease of reference and am including the day and time I read the article or watched the news video:

1) "The FBI has warned of possible armed protests being held across the US as Trump supporters and far-right groups call for demonstrations before Joe Biden is sworn in as president. There are reports of armed groups planning to gather at all 50 state capitols and in Washington DC in the run-up to his 20 January inauguration. Security will be tight for the event"..

* Tuesday:[12Jan2021] The House of Representatives will vote on a resolution calling on Vice-President Pence and the cabinet to invoke the 25th Amendment to declare the president unfit for office and remove him immediately. The resolution is likely to pass as Democrats hold a majority, but Mr Pence has shown no sign he is planning to act * Wednesday:[13Jan2021] Democrats vow to hold a vote on impeachment. As they have a majority, Mr Trump is likely to become the first president to be impeached twice. The single article of impeachment - a formal charge - will then need to be sent to the Senate where a trial will be held but the timeline is not known https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-55625707;

An internal FBI bulletin, reported by ABC News and other outlets, carries a warning that one group is calling for the "storming" of state, local and federal courthouses around the country if Mr Trump is removed from office early and on inauguration day if he is not."

https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-55625707

12Janu2021;6:54am

2) FBI notifying that more attacks on Washington are planned by various groups:

"Capitol security officials are warning lawmakers that thousands of extremist supporters of President Trump are planning to try to storm the Capitol ahead of President-elect Joe Biden's inauguration.  Lawmakers were told of four specific armed threats against the Capitol, White House and Supreme Court during a call late Monday night, according to a source familiar with the discussion. "...

"They were talking about 4,000 armed 'patriots' to surround the Capitol and prevent any Democrat from going in," Lamb said. "They have published rules of engagement, meaning when you shoot and when you don't. So this is an organized group that has a plan. They are committed to doing what they're doing because I think in their minds, you know, they are patriots and they're talking about 1776 and so this is now a contest of wills."

4) US Senator Susan Collins 'testimony of events on 6th January in Capitol:

quote: "Sen. James Lankford had just started speaking when, all of a sudden, the Capitol Police and staff from the Sergeant at Arms burst into the chamber and removed Vice President Mike Pence who was presiding. Shortly thereafter, the two Senate leaders were also rushed away.

My first thought was that the Iranians had followed through on their threat to strike the Capitol,"

11Janu 2021;5:02pm, found again by google search since it vanished from The Hill news where it was early this morning.

5) Sedition?

"A Justice Department “strike force” is seeking to assemble a sedition case against some of those involved in last week’s riot at the Capitol, which is now being treated as a massive crime scene, a top prosecutor said Tuesday.

The acting U.S. attorney in Washington, Michael Sherwin, said a team of his colleagues was examining whether to file those serious charges, which carry a potential penalty of up to 20 years in prison."...

The prosecutor also indicated that federal authorities were treating the investigation of the Jan. 6 events as the equivalent of a counterterrorism or counterintelligence investigation, throwing massive resources into the effort to follow finances, communications and movements of the perpetrators."...

Sherwin also mentioned that journalists were targeted by some of the violent actors and that a separate task force of prosecutors had been set up to examine those incidents. “"Some of those rioters specifically targeted members of the media and assaulted them," he said."...

Authorities appear to be preparing for the worst....At least 15,000 National Guard troops will be stationed in Washington on Inauguration Day, with 43 states and territories providing support."

6) Joint Chiefs of US Military on 6th January events:

"CNN)America's most senior general Mark Milley and the entire Joint Chiefs of Staff, which is comprised of the heads of each military branch, issued a statement Tuesday condemning the violent invasion of the US Capitol last week and reminding service members of their obligation to support and defend the Constitution and reject extremism.

"We witnessed actions inside the Capitol building that were inconsistent with the rule of law. The rights of freedom of speech and assembly do not give anyone the right to resort to violence, sedition and insurrection," they wrote in the statement."...

We support and defend the Constitution. Any act to disrupt the Constitutional process is not only against our traditions, values, and oath; it is against the law," the statement said." https://www.cnn.com/2021/01/12/politics/joint-chiefs-condemn-sedition/index.html

12January 2021; 4:39pm

7) NY Judge's son arrested by FBI for part in 6th January mob:

Quote ABC: "The FBI arrested Aaron Mostofsky, son of a prominent New York judge, at his brother’s home in Brooklyn on Tuesday morning."...Mostofsky, 34, is facing four charges, including felony theft of government property, knowingly entering a restricted building without lawful authority, engaging in disorderly conduct on Capitol grounds with intent to impede government business, and unlawful entry and disorderly conduct, according to a criminal complaint filed Monday....At the Tuesday court hearing, Assistant U.S. Attorney Josh Hafetz said there is video of Mostofsky "inside of the Capitol with a police officer's riot shield and appearing to wear a police officer's bulletproof vest, neither of which he had the right to."

12Janu 2021; 4:52pm

8) "The resolution, brought forward by Democratic Rep. Jamie Raskin of Maryland, calls on Vice President Mike Pence "to immediately use his powers under section 4 of the 25th Amendment to convene and mobilize the principal officers of the executive departments in the Cabinet to declare what is obvious to a horrified nation: That the President is unable to successfully discharge the duties of his office."

It further calls on Pence to assume "the powers and duties of the office as Acting President."...

The House will vote Tuesday evening on the resolution urging Pence to invoke the 25th Amendment to remove Trump, and then will plan to vote Wednesday at 9 a.m. ET on the impeachment resolution, Hoyer said....Invoking the 25th Amendment would require Pence and a majority of the Cabinet to vote to remove Trump from office due to his inability to "discharge the powers and duties of his office" -- an unprecedented step. Pence has so far given no indication that he would take that action."

9) USAToday trying whip up persecution of Pres Trump:

"Upon leaving office, Trump will be the beneficiary of a number of taxpayer-financed benefits, all of which would be wiped out if he were successfully impeached by the House and convicted by the Senate.

Gone would be the $200,000 a year stipend.

Gone would be the $1 million a year travel budget.

Gone would be taxpayer subsidies to finance his office and staff.

Gone would be the pension for the spouse of the president. 

Gone would be the lifetime of Secret Service protection."

11) Other changes to Missouri laws:

"The House now allow members of the public to testify virtually, an option meant to accommodate those concerned about spreading or catching COVID-19 at the Capitol. But video or telephone testimony will only be offered if approved in advance by committees.....

The House passed a change that allows the chamber to investigate ethics complaints against members for alleged misconduct that occurred before they became lawmakers. ...The House voted against Democratic proposals to ban discrimination against people with disabilities and lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender House employees. A rule against referring to lawmakers as either ladies or gentlemen, the current custom, and instead calling all members “representatives” also failed."

13) Twitter Inc. has permanently suspended more than 70,000 accounts dedicated to sharing QAnon-associated conspiracy theory content and ratcheted up its enforcement in the wake of the Washington, D.C., riot last week.

Many of the affected accounts were run by individuals who were operating several of them at a time, Twitter said in a statement detailing its actions. As part of its latest measures, follower counts for some users may change by as many as thousands. The company had warned against the sharing of QAnon material in the summer and said accounts that tweet or retweet it will continue to have “limited visibility across search, replies, and on timelines and are prohibited from being recommended to others by Twitter.”

15) Blacks who broke into Capitol NOT arrested for being black?

Quote: "Sullivan, who is the founder of Insurgence USA, a social justice group that calls itself anti-fascist and protests police brutality, was detained by Washington police for about an hour and a half Thursday night, a day after he talked to local and national media about what he witnessed Wednesday. He was handcuffed the entire time, and said police questioned him about being inside the Capitol and witnessing the shooting death of one of the protesters. He was not arrested."...But some of the 40-minute video he posted to his social media sites contradicts his assertion that he and another woman were “only filming” the actions and not participating as he can be heard in the video encouraging people to join them as they push their way through police barricades.

Just after people broke into the building, Sullivan — wearing a gas mask and wielding an iPhone on a stabilizing stick — and a woman who said Wednesday that she was making a documentary on Sullivan, are on the first porch area outside the entrance looking back over the throngs of people around the Capitol. They can be heard encouraging people to climb the wall, saying, “Come on. Let’s go!”...

“As far as them storming the Capitol, I knew that was going to happen,” he said. “I’m on chats that are underground that are sending out flyers that are just like, ‘Storm all Capitols on the 6th.’ It wasn’t anything that was secret. It was something that was out there ... and they did it.”

After making his way inside the Capitol during the riot, Sullivan said he witnessed the shooting death of protester Ashli Babbitt, and the Twitter account for Insurgence USA retweeted video from someone with Sullivan that shows the shooting and the aftermath....

In the wake of widespread condemnation, including from some lawmakers who support Trump and had planned to object to the electoral votes, there were assertions that those who stormed the Capitol, fought with police and injured officers, ransacked offices, and damaged public property, were actually members of groups like antifa or Black Lives Matter. In fact, Sullivan’s picture was circulating on social media as “evidence” that the rioters were not Trump supporters."

16 ) Quote: "Legislation proposed in the New York City Council seeks to update hiring discrimination rules for the age of algorithms. The bill would require companies to disclose to candidates when they have been assessed with the help of software. Companies that sell such tools would have to perform annual audits to check that their people-sorting tech doesn’t discriminate."...The proposal is a part of a recent movement at all levels of government to place legal constraints on algorithms and software that shape life-changing decisions"...More than a dozen US cities have banned government use of face recognition, and New York state recently passed a two-year moratorium on the technology’s use in schools. Some federal lawmakers have proposed legislation to regulate face algorithms and automated decision tools used by corporations, including for hiring. In December, 10 senators asked the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission to police bias in AI hiring tools,"....Cahn wants any law to define the technology covered more broadly, not let vendors decide how to audit their own technology, and allow individuals to sue to enforce the law. “We didn’t see any meaningful form of enforcement against the discrimination we’re concerned about,” he says."

17) Health care regarding covid vaccine:

The mutation, identified in a variant first seen in South Africa and separately seen in another variant in Brazil, changes a part of the virus that your immune system’s antibodies get trained to recognize after you’ve been infected or vaccinated. Lab studies show that the change could make people’s antibodies less effective at neutralizing the virus. The mutation seems to help the virus disguise part of its signature appearance, so the pathogen might have an easier time slipping past immune protection.

It’s not that the mutation will render existing vaccines useless, scientists stress. The vaccines authorized so far and those in development produce what’s called a polyclonal response, generating numerous antibodies that home in on different parts of the virus. Changes to any of those target sites raise the possibility that the vaccines would be less effective."...

The more contagious variant raising global alarms, which was first seen in the United Kingdom and is referred to as B.1.1.7, is not thought to have mutations that will greatly affect vaccines, the evidence so far indicates....“We need to be monitoring for these mutations,” said Jesse Bloom, an evolutionary virologist at Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center, who with colleagues published a paper about this specific mutation, known as E484K, this week."

Quote: "SPRINGFIELD, Mo. (KY3) - A new social media group encourages people to call out businesses that don’t enforce Springfield’s face-mask ordinance and to praise those that do. “Some businesses are enforcing it and others are not. That creates the problem,” said former Springfield mayor Robert Stephens.

Stephens said he wants to see his Springfield neighbors overcome the coronavirus. He helped start a Facebook group called, Springfield Supports Masks: Businesses Who Do and Don’t. He said the goal was primarily to applaud the businesses that do abide by city ordinances with masking and capacity limits. Sometimes, he said those who don’t comply are called out.

“Actions have consequences. If you’re not wearing the mask when you should be, and somebody takes your picture, that’s not our issue. That’s your issue,” he said"

Quote : "With a flick of a switch then, Parler, a fast-growing app seen by some as a free-speech alternative to Twitter, was no more. For now."...

'Problematic' ban

What is unprecedented though is the targeted approach against the president....

European leaders, including German Chancellor Angela Merkel, have described the move as "problematic".

EU commissioner Thierry Breton described the events on Capitol Hill as "the 9/11 moment of social media", writing in Politico that "the fact that a CEO can pull the plug on Potus' [President of the United States] loudspeaker without any checks and balances is perplexing".

UK Health Secretary Matt Hancock said social networks were now "taking editorial decisions", adding that platforms were "choosing who should and shouldn't have a voice".

The change will allocate doses to states by the pace of administration, as reported by the states and population of people age 65 and older."

Like all Americans I was stunned by events at the U.S. Capitol on 6th January. I happened to have watched the entire thing LIVE via T.V. because I was alerted the day before of a possible plane flown into US Capitol planned by Iran to retailiate for death of their Soleimani, who died in US Military airstrike a year ago. So, I was watching news on both ABC & CBS to see if that happened? And saw the attack on the Capitol as it happened. It had a surreal feel to me emotionally. A can this be happening in The United States of America feel to it. Since then I have read every article and watched every video about it. There are some appalling imagesin the FBI files of that day that all news agencies posted to get public to identify the perpetrators. I posted a similar summary a few days ago on a different blog of mine, so you can catch up news on it, if you missed it elsewhere.
