| Pro-lifers demand DOJ investigate abortionist after babies found in medical waste box | Curated for you byCP Editors | Good afternoon! It's Wednesday, April 6, and today's headlines include calls for the DOJ to investigate an abortionist after full-term babies were discovered in a medical waste box, an update on the expected confirmation of Supreme Court nominee Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson, and a father's open letter to his daughter in recognition of Sexual Assault Awareness Month. | Progressive Anti-Abortion-Uprising's Terrisa Bukovinac and Operation Rescue's Randall Terry held a press conference in Washington, D.C., Tuesday to discuss Bukovinac's discovery of full-term aborted babies inside a biohazard box marked as medical waste that was to be incinerated and converted into electricity. Bukovinac came across the box while protesting outside Washington Surgi-Clinic, an abortion clinic in the nation’s capital. Now, the pro-life activists are demanding that the Department of Justice take action against the abortionist they believe committed the illegal acts. | "On Friday, March 25, the Day of the Unborn Child, Lauren Handy and I went to Washington Surgi Center to engage in anti-abortion advocacy. Upon arrival, we saw a truck labeled Curtis Bay Medical Waste Services parked outside," she recalled. "We approached the driver, who was about to load two large boxes with biohazard symbols onto his truck." The driver, who indicated he didn't know what was inside the boxes, let Bukovinac take one of the boxes after they told him they contained "dead babies" and wanted to give the babies "a proper burial and a funeral." Upon opening the box in Handy's apartment, they discovered over 100 mostly first-trimester aborted babies and a "clear plastic bag with five more containers, one much bigger than the remaining four." One of the buckets contained a nearly full-term baby boy they named Christopher X. The news comes as pro-life organizations are denouncing a new Colorado law that allows women to get an abortion up to the moment of birth and denies the rights of pre-born babies.

While the Senate Judiciary Committee, which consists of 11 Democrats and 11 Republicans in reflection of the 50/50 split in the full Senate, failed to give Jackson a favorable recommendation to the full Senate Monday, such a recommendation is not a prerequisite to obtaining a seat on the Supreme Court. Democrats have praised the historic nature of Jackson's nomination, but many Republicans have expressed concern due to her failing to define the term "woman" when asked and her history of giving child pornography offenders much lighter sentences than the guidelines called for.

Dudwe, who is still recovering from injuries he and his family sustained in a brutal attack by radical Hindu nationalists in January, has been ordered to go to court to defend himself against a complaint filed by his attackers who claim he violated the state’s "anti-conversion" law, Morning Star News reports. The pastor’s wife, Jyoti Dudwe, filed a separate police complaint against a Hindu nationalist man, identified as Ashok Bamnia, and about 25 others who broke into their home to apprehend and assault the Christian family. On top of the charges for criminal intimidation, wrongful restraint and assault, police added a section of the Scheduled Caste and Scheduled Tribe (Prevention of Atrocities) Act to the complaint against the attackers.

| | In Afghanistan, women are being subjugated. In the West, they are being erased. | While women and girls describe life under the Taliban as comparable to prison, the existence of women in the West is being erased, writes the Family Research Council's Arielle Del Turco. "[T]his ambiguity on the nature of womanhood isn’t limited to a Supreme Court confirmation hearing; it’s taking our culture by storm. In recent weeks, we’ve seen biological males who self-identify as women kicking biological females off the podium in women’s sports and taking their slots in 'woman of the year' designations, Del Turco cautions.

"The unjustified sense of shame you felt kept you in a dark place, and in that dark place you believed the lies of evil. You believed that somehow you were responsible and that somehow you had done something wrong. And the longer you held on to the toxic lies, you began to think that you had no value. Nothing could be further from the truth." Continue reading. |
