The United States Supreme Court just announced that it will take up a Mississippi abortion case that could potentially affect the so-called right to abortion in the entire country and blue checks on Twitter are giving their doom and gloom responses.
SCOTUS announced on May 17 that it would provide a ruling on a controversial abortion ban from the state of Mississippi and hear the case next fall. The Mississippi law – passed in 2018 but blocked by lower courts – banned all abortions after 15 weeks of pregnancy.
LifeSiteNews summed up the threat to Roe, writing that SCOTUS is now set to hear the case “which challenges the ‘viability’ threshold of current legal precedent and therefore sets the stage for a decision that will either uphold, overturn, or modify Roe v. Wade.” The Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals ruled against the Mississippi ban (prompting the SCOTUS ruling), citing that the 15-week-ban violates legal precedent that abortions cannot be banned before the unborn baby is viable, which is around 22 to 24 weeks. That precedent, according to the circuit court, traces “an unbroken line dating to Roe v. Wade.” If SCOTUS sides with Mississippi’s ban, then Roe v. Wade would be in the crosshairs.
Again, the idea that a chunk could be taken out of the federal right to kill their preborn offspring put leftists on Twitter into a state of panic. Ilyse Hogue, the president of America’s largest abortion lobby, NARAL, tweeted that this was the culmination of devious GOP pro-life designs, something leftists were desperate about in their disgusting protest of Justice Brett Kavanaugh’s appointment. 
Hogue tweeted, “Never forget that McConnell and others mocked us and gaslit us through the Kavanaugh fight for claiming that legal abortion was in jeopardy. They knew. They lied. We knew. We fought. And we’re so far from done fighting.” Of course, we all knew why leftists went scorched earth in their defaming of Kavanaugh, to prevent a conservative SCOTUS from hearing a case like this. 
Breaking: #SCOTUS to hear direct challenge to Roe v. Wade. Never forget that McConnell and others mocked us and gaslit us through the Kavanaugh fight for claiming that legal abortion was in jeopardy. They knew. They lied. We knew. We fought. And we’re so far from done fighting.

The ACLU appeared panicked in response to the news. From its official Twitter account the far leftist activist organization tweeted, “this is the moment anti-abortion politicians have been waiting for since Roe v. Wade was decided: The Supreme Court just announced that it will hear a case that could decimate the constitutional right to abortion.” If pro-baby killers weren’t alarmed before that tweet, they are now.

New York Times contributor and feminist author Amber Tamblyn spread fear on social media as well, tweeting, “This is not a drill. The path to overturning Roe Vs. Wade is this one. Support organizations like @NARAL today. Give your money, give your time, give your attention. Spread the damn word.”

And far left gay actor George Takei tweeted, "Incredibly concerning. With the stacked Trump court, reproductive rights are under threat as never before."

Yeah, so are unborn babies, Mr. Takei, and, God willing. SCOTUS will think of them in the upcoming ruling.

As Hamas ruthlessly targets Israel’s major population centers with a hailstorm of rockets, the world is witnessing a military miracle: Israel’s anti-missile system known as the Iron Dome.

On "LevinTV" this week, Mark Levin shared a little-known story of the Iron Dome’s development, from Ronald Reagan’s Strategic Defense Initiative to the Patriot Missile System.

Co-developed by Israel and the U.S., Israel has created a defensive masterpiece, but as Levin warned, there are those within the Democrat Party that seek to cut off the aid to Israel necessary to continue development of these defensive systems.

Watch the video below for more from Mark Levin:

A new study says that tech companies that displayed public support for the Black Lives Matter movement also had fewer black employees than other tech companies that did not express support for the movement.

The study of 240 prominent tech companies was conducted by Blendoor, a startup that advocates for greater minority representation, and published Monday.

The study found that the pro-BLM companies had 20% fewer black employees than those who did not express support for the movement.

Despite the disparity between outward support and actual hiring practices, the report said support for Black Lives Matter led to billions in donations that would have an even greater impact on obtaining the goals of the movement.

The website for the Black Lives Matter movement posted a new set of demands earlier in May that included a permanent ban on former President Donald Trump from holding any future political office and from all social media platforms. They also demanded that he be "immediately convicted" in the U.S. Senate.

One software company that took the opposite stance was Basecamp, where a number of employees quit after the leadership banned political talk from their official business channels in order to keep their focus on work. A third of their employees reportedly quit because of the controversy.

The BLM movement also got a boost from former first lady Michelle Obama, who said that blacks in America are still afraid for their lives and the lives of their children.

"Many of us still live in fear as we go to the grocery store, or worry about — walking our dogs, or allowing our children to get a license," Obama said in an interview with Gayle King of CBS News.

However, even many on the left are blaming the extremist policy demands of the BLM movement for some of the loss in support for Democrats among some Hispanics who refused to back their demands to defund the police.

Coronavirus cases are plummeting in India thanks to new rules that promote Ivermectin and hydroxychloroquine to its massive population.

Of course, the WHO and pharmaceutical companies are having fits.
This is despite the fact that lives are being saved.

The COVID Blog reported:

India has received the baton for title of COVID Capitol of the World after China, Italy and the United States held it for much of last year.

The world second-most populace country after China had fewer than 138,000 total active COVID cases in early February 2021. That’s the lowest figure since January 2020. India active COVID cases sit around 3.6 million today, according to the India Ministry of Health and Family Welfare. Mainstream media are blaming the massive spike on a “scary, mutant variant” called B.1.617…

…The India health ministry updated its guidelines on April 28 for quarantines, treating the asymptomatic and those with mild symptoms of COVID-19. The agency now says that asymptomatic patients should “consider Tab Ivermectin (200 mcg/kg once a day, to be taken empty stomach) for 3 to 5 days.” Caregivers of patients in quarantine are instructed to “take Hydroxychloroquine prophylaxis as per protocol and as prescribed by the treating medical officer.” See the full document here.

There are 292 studies (219 are peer-reviewed) proving the effectiveness of hydroxychloroquine as both a treatment and prophylaxis against COVID-19. Ivermectin has 93 studies (54 peer-reviewed) showing its effectiveness as treatment and prophylaxis against COVID-19. Despite the now-indisputable fact that these drugs essentially kill COVID-19 within hours or days, the Bill Gates-funded World Health Organization (WHO) and big pharma are having fits over India’s new guidelines and the results.

And now the COVID cases are plummeting.

Via Worldometers.

And the active cases in India are also plummeting.

Of course, this will not make any headlines.

The Supreme Court on Monday agreed to hear Mississippi’s bid to enforce a ban on abortions after 15 weeks, ending almost a full year of suspense and setting the stage for a landmark decision.

Mississippi’s petition is a groundbreaking one, asking the Court to authorize new limits on abortion in the earliest stages of a pregnancy. Abortion advocates warn a victory for Mississippi would rupture 50 years worth of judicial decisions favoring maternal choice before an unborn child is viable.

Monday’s order is a welcome lift for the pro-life movement and a dire signal for abortion advocates. The Mississippi case has lingered on the Court’s docket for months without action. The long delay gave rise to speculation that the newly reinforced conservative majority was wary of abortion disputes, a concern Monday’s news seemed to dispel. And it raised doubts about assumptions that the right-leaning Court would move incrementally to undo pro-abortion precedents.

Jackson Women’s Health Organization, the only abortion clinic in Mississippi, challenged the 15-week ban as soon as it took effect. Judges in the lower courts sparred vigorously over the law.

U.S. District Judge Carlton Reeves pulled no punches in a 2018 decision striking down Mississippi’s law on constitutional grounds. He called the legislature’s justifications for the bill—protecting maternal health and the reputation of the medical profession—"pure gaslighting," and he faulted lawmakers for crafting an attack on abortion while doing nothing "to address the tragedies lurking on the other side of the delivery room."

"Legislation like H.B. 1510 is closer to the old Mississippi—the Mississippi bent on controlling women and minorities," Reeves wrote.

A three-judge panel of the Fifth U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals upheld Reeves’s decision. But Judge James Ho took Reeves to task in a separate opinion, calling his decision "deeply disquieting."

"Instead of respecting all sides, the district court opinion disparages the Mississippi legislation as ‘pure gaslighting,’" Ho wrote. "It equates a belief in the sanctity of life with sexism, disregarding the millions of women who strongly oppose abortion. And, without a hint of irony, it smears Mississippi legislators by linking House Bill 1510 to the state’s tragic history of race relations, while ignoring abortion’s own checkered racial past."

State lawyers highlighted what they called Reeves’s "diatribe" near the top of their petition to the Supreme Court.

There are two legal issues at stake. One is whether state power to regulate abortion should turn on the viability of an unborn child, the framework set out in Roe v. Wade. Mississippi argues the Court should scrap that standard in light of new evidence about fetal development and its capacity to survive outside the womb at earlier stages of a pregnancy.

"Given the many medical advances our scientific community is constantly achieving, it is only a matter of time before development of an artificial womb moves ‘viability’ all the way back to the moment of conception," the state’s petition reads.

Instead, abortion regulations should be tied to the state’s interest in protecting children, maternal health, and the reputation of physicians, the state says.

The other is the test courts ought to use to evaluate restrictions on abortion. Chief Justice John Roberts surprised observers in 2020 when he voted with his four liberal colleagues to strike down a Louisiana regulation that required abortion providers to have admitting privileges at a nearby hospital. That decision, perhaps by the chief justice’s design, seeded division in the lower courts and spawned another major abortion controversy for the Court to resolve.

While Roberts voted with the liberals on the bottom line outcome in the 2020 case, he did not agree with their reasoning. Writing for the four liberal justices, Justice Stephen Breyer said the admitting privileges rule was unconstitutional because the burdens it imposed on abortion access outweighed its benefits for women.

The chief justice pointedly rejected that cost-benefit analysis in a separate, solo opinion. Instead, he voted to strike the law because the Court declared an identical regulation from Texas unconstitutional in a 2016 decision. Roberts wrote he felt compelled to follow precedent and "treat like cases alike." He added, citing an older case, that courts should ask whether an abortion restriction amounts to an "undue burden," a more permissive standard than Breyer’s cost-benefit approach.

In the ensuing months, lower courts have disagreed with one another about which opinion they’re bound to follow. Some have cited Breyer’s opinion as precedential, while others have used the chief’s more lenient test. Mississippi said that was a reason to hear their case in legal papers filed last September.

"Absent this Court’s immediate intervention, there will be many dozens of cases splitting along the same lines," the brief reads. "Only half of them will be correct. This Court should not let the issue percolate even another day."

The case, which will be heard near the end of this year, is No. 19-1392 Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization.
