Charlotte Lozier Institute Responds to Claim that Aborted
Baby Parts Are Needed to Develop COVID-19 Treatment
In response to news reports claiming that potential treatments for coronavirus will not be discovered unless the body parts of aborted children are used in experiments, the Charlotte Lozier Institute (CLI) issued the following comment:
“Those who advocate experimentation using body parts harvested from aborted children are shamelessly exploiting the coronavirus pandemic, playing on people’s fears at a vulnerable time so that a select few can continue to use aborted fetal tissue in their research. The fact is that there are modern, successful alternatives available. Already, over 60 potential treatments are under investigation – none of which need aborted fetal tissue to fight coronavirus. Instead of wasting precious time listening to these dishonest claims, we should continue to focus our attention on successful, ethical alternatives that don’t require the exploitation of baby body parts, taxpayer dollars, and public sentiment that just wants a swift and compassionate end to this crisis.”

Ezekiel Emanuel, Bioethicist Who Thinks People
Should Die at 75, Advising Biden on Coronavirus
Americans are questioning former vice president Joe Biden’s team of advisers on the subject, one of whom has a history of suggesting that the elderly would be better off dead. In 2014, he wrote that he “hope[s] to die at 75,” because “living too long” renders people uncreative, unable to work, “faltering and declining,” and “transforms how people experience us, relate to us, and, most important, remember us. We are no longer remembered as vibrant and engaged but as feeble, ineffectual, even pathetic.” This kind of reasoning could have grave consequences if applied to older Americans, who are particularly at risk from coronavirus. Emanuel wrote that beyond age 75, he would refuse not only cancer screenings and advanced life-saving treatment, but also flu shots and antibiotics — specifically because, in the event of a “flu pandemic,” a “younger person who has yet to live a complete life” should “certainly” be prioritized to receive “the vaccine or any antiviral drugs.” It should be noted that presidential candidate Joe Biden is two years beyond this cut off age.

Democrat Lawmaker Calls Miscarried
Babies a “Mess on a Napkin”
A Pennsylvania lawmaker described a miscarried baby as “a mess on a napkin” Tuesday in
response to a bill requiring the dignified disposal of aborted and miscarried babies.
State Rep. Wendy Ullman, a pro-abortion Democrat representing the Bucks County area, made the insensitive comment before the Pennsylvania House Health Committee passed House Bill 1890 in a 15-10 party-line vote.
The bill would require health care facilities to bury or cremate the remains of unborn babies who died in abortions or miscarriages. It does not require burial/cremation for babies miscarried at home.
“An early miscarriage is just some mess on a napkin,” Ullman said, according to a video of the meeting shared by the Pennsylvania Family Council.
Ullman implied that miscarried and aborted babies are not valuable enough to be buried or cremated, saying, “And I’m not sure people would agree that this is something that we want to take to the point of ritual, either cremation or interment.” She was endorsed by Planned Parenthood during her election campaign, and she voted against the bill.

First Big Survey of Births Finds Millions of Women Missing
The results, published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, provide an unprecedented look at how societal values can skew the laws of nature.
“It’s an incredibly important contribution,” says Darrell Bricker, a Canadian political scientist. “If the only part of the population who can produce new kids are women under the age of 45, and a whole bunch of them are missing, it’s going to have an obvious impact on the fertility of a population.” In his recently published book, Empty Planet, Bricker proposes the radical idea that contrary to a population explosion apocalypse scenario, the data suggests the world is actually more likely to run out of people. If current models are mistakenly counting women that aren’t there, that only makes his predictions that much more plausible, he adds. cont.

Federal Government to Resume Capital Punishment
After Nearly Two Decade Lapse
Attorney General William P. Barr has directed the Federal Bureau of Prisons (BOP) to adopt a proposed Addendum to the Federal Execution Protocol—clearing the way for the federal government to resume capital punishment after a nearly two decade lapse, and bringing justice to victims of the most horrific crimes. The Attorney General has further directed the Acting Director of the BOP, Hugh Hurwitz, to schedule the executions of five death-row inmates convicted of murdering, and in some cases torturing and raping, the most vulnerable in our society—children and the elderly. cont.

Teens Who Brutally Beat Mentally Disabled 15-Year-Old Girl
Will Be Charged with Felony Assault
"Chicago police charged three teenage girls on Thursday in a brutal attack on a 15-year-old girl with disabilities.
The incident, which was captured on film and posted online, shows a group of teenagers mobbing and beating the girl on the street while others stood around and laughed, the Daily Caller reports. In the video, the girl can be heard screaming in pain as the teens punch her, hit her and push her to the ground. It is not clear how severely she was injured.
Chicago Police Lt. Ozzie Valdez said two teenage girls have been charged with aggravated battery and a third faces mob action charges in the incident. Police did not name any of the girls because they all are minors, according to the report.
“In their interviews, the detectives learned that the victim met several juveniles, who she thought were her friends,” Valdez said. “These girls then taught her how to flash gang signs, and as this was occurring, a beating began, which was captured on video.” cont.

George Soros Funds Activists Pushing Euthanasia and Assisted Suicide Worldwide

The American billionaire is known for financing the abortion industry in America, giving it hundreds of millions of dollars in donations. But the Capital Research Center reports Soros is one of the top financiers of assisted suicide and euthanasia advocacy groups as well." cont.

Funding for Failed California Tax-Funded
Embryonic Stem Cell Institute Dries Up cont.
"CIRM was created in 2004 when California voters approved a $3 billion bond issue to support research into supposed medical uses for tissue taken from aborted babies. The support came despite objections from physicians, medical researchers, ethicists, and pro-life campaigners.
Almost all of the progress in stem cell scientific studies has come from research into adult stem cells and induced pluripotent stem cells. The latter were discovered in 2006. The imagined cures from embryonic stem cells that have been proffered by scientists and celebrities, such as actor/activist Michael J. Fox, have not materialized." cont
