They are both getting on quite slow so there is even more time to enjoy the countryside around a bit; in fact Rubi is now 14 ½ which is really old for me, just in the Glebe and churchyard, or at the RSPB Wildbrooks, or a big dog.

    WHO IS the MOST EVIL WOMAN of ALL TIME? the Woman Rebel

    Chapter 13 WHO IS THE MOST EVIL WOMAN OF ALL TIME? The Woman Rebel On October the 10th 1991 the author of this book heard that a female teacher held a full-sized plastic model of a male sex organ in one hand, pointing to it and touching it with the other, as she taught a co-ed class at N.W. Classen High School in Oklahoma City. Needless to say this was the talk of the school. The next school day I visited N.W. Classen High to see and hear for myself what teachings my tax dollars were funding. The school principal said content of this course was determined by central administration for all Oklahoma City schools. The female teacher I had heard about was not teaching that hour, but I was nevertheless allowed to sit in on the first hour “life skills” (sex-ed) class, taught by a male teacher who wore earrings and several bead necklaces. He used very explicit language, which embarrassed most of the co-ed students so much they could not look up from their desks. A student asked if it was better to have sex before or after marriage. Teacher: “The best time to have sex is after you have experienced life a little more. But if you do have sex, use a condom.” Another student asked, “Shouldn’t you wait until after marriage to have sex?” Teacher: “That is ok if you believe that.” Anal intercourse was discussed at length—how to do it without getting AIDS; never was it suggested to be wrong.

  • White Lies: Eugenics, Abortion, and Racism by ERIC RUDOLPH

    White Lies: Eugenics, Abortion, and Racism by ERIC RUDOLPH

    White Lies: Eugenics, Abortion, and Racism by ERIC RUDOLPH December 2014 I. INTRODUCTION “Black Children Are an Endangered Species,” reads a billboard along a stretch of Georgia highway just outside of Atlanta. The sign features a cherubic black baby beside the ominous statement. Erected by the advocacy group Georgia Right To Life as part of a statewide public awareness campaign, the billboard calls attention to an alarming statistic. Although less than 13 percent of the U.S. population, blacks have around 35 percent of abortions in this country. In comparison, non-Hispanic whites, who are around 62 percent of the population, account for about 37 percent of abortions. The abortion rate for blacks is ten times that of whites. Forty-eight percent of black pregnancies end in abortion, making it the leading cause of death among black Americans. 1 A growing number of pro-life leaders blame the statistical disparity on racism. Catherine Davis, spokesperson for Georgia Right To Life and organizer of the billboard campaign, says Planned Parenthood deliberately “targets” predominantly black areas with clinics. Dr. Alveda King, niece of Martin Luther King, Jr., calls abortions “womb lynchings,” and accuses Planned Parenthood of outright genocide. Building abortion clinics in the black community is part of a plot to exterminate black people, she claims.2 Typically associated with the Left, racial politics represents something of a departure from the traditional pro-life message. For decades, white social conservatives have dominated the pro-life movement, using the personhood of the unborn child to argue against abortion. According to this argument, life begins at conception; therefore, anyone who deliberately ends a life through induced abortion commits murder.
