Democrats for Life Advocate for Change on Abortion Policy, Twitter Censors Local News Story on Their Pro-Life Protest

By: Brittany Raymer

Pro-Life Democrats are using this week’s Democratic National Convention to advocate for a more moderate approach to abortion in order to avoid alienating the pro-life wing of the party.

Anymore, it seems like a pro-life Democrat is an oxymoron, especially considering that one of Congress’ lone pro-life Democrats, Rep. Dan Lipinski, recently lost his primary battle to a pro-abortion, NARAL-backed candidate. But there remains a strong and passionate, though underrepresented, pro-life caucus.

In a letter signed by several prominent pro-life Democrats, including Louisiana’s Governor John Bel Edwards, the writers stated concerns over the party’s prominent pro-abortion policy, which will likely alienate possible Democrat voters. “We should not cede large swathes of the United States to the Republican Party. We support reintroducing conscience language from 2000 into the 2020 platform, which acknowledges that Americans have differing and deeply held views on abortion.”

The letter also raises three major concerns with the party’s platform on abortion, including “that many Democratic leaders support policies on abortion that are radically out of line with public opinion. Many Democratic leaders support abortion at any time, for any reason; this position is opposed by 79% of Americans. The 2016 Democratic Platform endorses taxpayer funding of abortion, opposed by a supermajority of the population. The same platform endorses taxpayer funding of abortion in developing countries, opposed by three-fourths of voters.”

Joe Biden
Will Joe Biden Announce His Potential Nominees for the Supreme Court?
By: Bruce Hausknecht

In 2016, then-candidate Donald Trump released a list of candidates he would choose from to fill any Supreme Court vacancy occurring during his presidency. The list, vetted by organizations like the Federalist Society and the Heritage Foundation, was credited with shoring up support for Trump among conservatives and contributing to his victory. Trump has promised to produce another list by September 1.

The presumptive Democrat presidential nominee, Joe Biden, accepted his party’s nod this week at their convention in Milwaukee, and many are wondering whether he will follow suit and furnish his own list.

Biden half-promised back in February that if elected, he would nominate the first African American woman to the Supreme Court. “As president, I’d be honored, honored to appoint the first African American woman. Because it should look like the country. It’s long past time,” Biden said.
Disney Channel’s cartoon, The Owl House
Disney Introduces Bisexual Cartoon Character

By: Jeff Johnston

LGBT activists and allies are celebrating the shifting sexuality of a lead character on Disney Channel’s cartoon, The Owl House.

The show centers around Luz Noceda, a 14-year-old Dominican American girl. Throughout the first season, Luz has been interested in boys. But Variety Magazine reports that in two recent episodes, airing August 8 and 15, Luz and a female character named Amity begin developing a romantic relationship.

While Luz apparently has bisexual interests, Amity seems to be lesbian-identified.

Focus on the Family’s Plugged In reviewed the program early in the show’s season, before the latest sexuality revelations. Luz follows an owl through “a mysterious door and finds herself transformed to the magical realm of the Boiling Isles.” It’s a place teeming with demons, monsters and “magical creatures: vampires, griffins and especially, witches.”
President Trump Pardons Susan B. Anthony
On 100th Anniversary of Women’s Suffrage, President Trump Pardons Susan B. Anthony
By: Brittany Raymer

On August 18, President Donald Trump pardoned suffragist Susan B. Anthony, who was arrested for voting illegally in 1872.

In a White House event, President Trump said, “Today, I’m honored to sign a proclamation celebrating August 18th, 2020, as the 100th anniversary of the 19th Amendment (which gave women the right to vote). In the summer of 1848, Elizabeth Cady Stanton stood before the first-ever women’s rights convention in Seneca Falls, New York, and declared that women should enjoy this fundamental civil right. What a job she did.”

“Seven decades later, the suffrage movement succeeded. On this day in 1920, the United States ratified the 19th Amendment. It was a monumental victory for equality, for justice, and a monumental victory for America.”

New Study Finds Mainstream Media Covers President Trump 150 Times More Negatively Than Joe Biden

A new study has found that the “big three” evening mainstream news broadcasts, ABC, NBC and CBS, give President Trump 150 times more negative coverage than they do Joe Biden.

The study was conducted by the conservative, nonprofit media watchdog group, the Media Research Center (MRC).

Conducted from June 1 through July 31, the study found that the three evening newscasts focused 512 minutes on President Trump, and just 58 minutes on Joe Biden.

The study examined 668 “evaluative statements” made by anchors and reporters about the president, “95 percent of which (634) were negative, vs. a mere five percent (34) that were positive.”
