EUROPE’S MISSING CHILDREN, by Daniel Frampton. “Nearly 90% of unborn babies prenatally diagnosed with Down’s syndrome in England and Wales (and Crown Dependencies) were aborted in 2021, according to official data released last month. These statistics were published on the day preceding the UK’s four-day Easter weekend, deliberately, it appears, to bury 973 victims whose deaths were assented to by the state—the PR equivalent of scattering twigs and leaves over a shallow grave. …The proliferation of abortion and non-invasive prenatal testing has wiped out much of the Down’s syndrome population in recent years.” Read more here.
PLANNED PARENTHOOD DISSEMINATES LIES ABOUT ER CARE AND ABORTION ON INSTAGRAM, by Nancy Flanders. “On Tuesday, Planned Parenthood shared a post on Instagram further spreading misinformation on abortion as ‘life-saving ER care.’ The post, shared in partnership with Impact, ‘the digital destination for young people shaping the future,’ falsely claimed that a case currently at the Supreme Court could end up ‘forcing’ emergency rooms to ‘deny pregnant people life-saving ER care.’” Read more here.
NEW ATHLETIC CLOTHING BRAND GETS IT: XX AND XY—VIVE LA DIFFERENCE!, by Virginia Allen. “Athletic clothing brands hold Women’s History Month promotional campaigns every March and claim to support women’s and girls sports, but haven’t spoken out against men competing as women—until now. ‘None of them is weighing in and taking a stand to protect female athletes and female sports and spaces from males entering into those spaces,’ says Jennifer Sey, the founder of XX-XY Athletics. As a former elite gymnast and the 1986 USA Gymnastics national champion, Sey knows the value athletics can play in the lives of women—and the danger posed by men being allowed to enter female competitions.” Read more here.
BLACKBALLED COACH CHEERS ON BRAVE GIRLS WHO SAT OUT AGAINST TRANS PLAYER, by Suzanne Bowdey. “When she thinks back on that day, she feels the knot in her stomach. There was a ‘dark energy,’ Kim Russell remembers, as her bosses sat in a circle around her — one in a long line of disciplinary hearings the Oberlin (College) lacrosse coach had endured. ‘I hope you feel remorse for it,’ her athletic director said. Kim didn’t. Voicing her support of girls’ sports — her life’s passion — was what she believed. If that’s the case, Kim was told, ‘you fall into a category of people that are kind of filled with hate in the world.’ Life, as she knew it, had changed forever.” Read more here.
BIDEN’S ATTACK ON WOMEN’S SPORTS, by National Review Editors. “In a sweeping new Title IX rule, the Biden administration has usurped Congress to undermine free speech, dissolve due process, and redefine sex to include ‘gender identity.’ The rule, effective August 1, will force all educational entities in receipt of federal funds to allow males access to female spaces, sports, and scholarships whenever they claim transgender status. In 1972, Title IX, an education amendment to the Civil Rights Act, made it unlawful to discriminate ‘on the basis of sex.’ Of course, there have always been contexts in which it is necessary to acknowledge sex differences to ensure the safety, privacy, and equal opportunity of females — a fact that the law’s drafters explicitly acknowledged.” Read more here.
STOPPING THE TRANSGENDER CONVEYOR BELT, by Luke Goodrich. “Almost everyone agrees that rates of transgender identification are skyrocketing, especially among young girls. But nobody seems to agree on the cause. Is it social contagion, fueled by social media and peer pressure? Is it social acceptance, as a more tolerant society finally lets transgender kids embrace their true selves? Or is it just good business, as gender clinics profit by shuffling children through an expensive series of drugs and surgeries? Maybe the answer is all of the above—at least to some degree. But one important contributor is often overlooked: the law.” Read more here.
