AS America grapples with a crackdown on abortion and a looming financial crisis, more young men are turning to vasectomies - and filming it for TikTok. Demand for vasectomies appears to have shot up dramatically in every corner of the US since the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade in July, which guaranteed a woman the right to an abortion. For most people, getting "the snip" is a decision you make in later life. It refers to male sterilisation and it cuts or seals the tubes that carry a man's sperm to permanently prevent pregnancy. Many men go for this...

More than 40 percent of pregnant women who participated in Pfizer’s mRNA COVID vaccine trial suffered miscarriages, according internal Pfizer documents, recently released under court order. Despite this, Pfizer, and the Biden administration insisted that the vaccines were safe for pregnant women. Out of 50 pregnant women, 22 of them lost their babies, according to an analysis of the documents. In a January court ruling, U.S. District Judge Mark Pittman of the Northern District of Texas, ordered the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to release around 12,000 documents immediately, and then 55,000 pages a month until all documents were released,...

Last week, Michigan’s Democrat Gov. Gretchen Whitmer vetoed funding for maternity homes, adoption tax credits, and other budget items that assist pregnant women. While post-Dobbs, Whitmer and her fellow Democrats seek to conceal the party’s pro-abortion agenda by pushing state courts to institute the extreme abortion regime they demand, in striking from the budget any spending that has a semblance of supporting the choice of life, Whitmer exposes her party’s abortion-first position. When the Supreme Court overturned Roe and Casey and held in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization that there is no federal constitutional right to abortion, the high...

Republican lawmakers filed a bill Wednesday that would require expecting fathers to pay child support beginning at conception. The "Unborn Child Support Act" would "establish and enforce child support obligations of the biological father of an unborn child." With the mother's consent, once paternity is proven, fathers would be responsible for the payment amount determined by a court. The bill would amend the Social Security Act which outlines the existing state-enforced requirements for biological fathers to make child support payments to the mother of their child. Not only would the legislation expand the requirements and ensure state enforcement of mothers'...

Despite false claims that pro-life pregnancy resource centers (PRCs) are ‘fake clinics,’ PRCs have saved over 800,000 lives from the violence of abortion in just the past five recorded years (2016-2020).

It appears that when it comes to incarcerating transgender people, the prison system in New Jersey isn’t very woke after all. Prison officials in New Jersey tried their best to ignore reality by placing a transgender woman in a prison with real females. It didn’t work out so well. After two real females were impregnated by the transgender woman, New Jersey prison officials woke up and decided to move the trans female to a facility more suited to zir anatomical, er, gifts: a male prison. Twitchy asks, “How could something like this happen? We knew men could give birth, but...

WASHINGTON, D.C. — Senator Elizabeth Warren has decided to take matters into her own hands in the war against crisis pregnancy centers, personally smacking free resources away from pregnant women when they leave. "Not today, paleface!" shouted Ms. Warren as she tackled a pregnant mom, wrestling away her prenatal vitamins. "And what are these, free ultrasound pictures? How dare they!" she continued, ripping apart the pictures in front of the woman. "Always remember how I just saved you from pregnancy center abuse!" Senator Warren has declared an all-out crusade against crisis pregnancy centers, accusing them of not offering to kill...

This story isn’t exactly new: Sen. Elizabeth Warren, who wants to set up Planned Parenthood abortion outposts on the edges of national parks, said last week that she and Sen. Bob Menendez were co-sponsoring a bill that would “crack down on so-called ‘crisis pregnancy centers’ that mislead and deceive patients seeking abortion care.” Warren is still on the warpath and told an ABC affiliate in Massachusetts that the state needs to put a stop to crisis pregnancy centers “right now.” Girls walk in looking for an abortion and are met by people who try to talk them out of it...

Amazon’s limit, which temporarily caps purchase of the contraceptives at three units per week, went into effect on Monday, a spokesperson for the e-commerce giant confirmed to The Associated Press.

For any men wanting to donate blood, make sure you’re medically self-aware. For example, you should be adequately informed as to whether you’ve been impregnated.Such was a lesson reportedly learned by Leslie Sinclair this month. The central Scotland resident had hoped to give life-sustaining fluid to others in need. Sadly, the effort encountered coagulation.According to the Daily Mail, the 66-year-old was handed a form asking if he was currently pregnant. Furthermore, the facility needed to know if he’d been knocked up within the last half-year.The inquiry left him less than impressed:When he complained that as a man in his 60s...

It started as a joke and ended with a bit of news that one guy hadn't bargained for. In 2015, after taking a male pregnancy test and discovering he was apparently expecting, a man took to the online community Reddit and shared a digital comic poking fun at his discovery, when it should have first been alarming. But more than 1,500 of his fellow Redditors saw past the humor and actually left concerned comments. What did they know about the erroneous results that he didn't? A positive male pregnancy test is actually a scary thing for a guy...... Pregnancy tests...

Stephanie had been dating a man who had been a friend for a few years. They met at a restaurant during a Sunday lunch, and in retrospect, Stephanie wishes she’d kept him “in the friend zone.” As soon as she knew she was pregnant, she also knew he wasn’t someone she wanted to be in a long-term relationship with. He was never going to be the kind of partner she could count on... Stephanie, 33, prayed about the pregnancy. She ran through her savings being off work. She thought about the bills a baby would bring, what it would mean...

Senator Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) said Monday on MSNBC’s “All In” that “Republican extremists” wanted to bring back a world of back-alley abortions and suicide over unwanted pregnancies by overturning the Roe v. Wade decision. Warren said, “I grew up in Oklahoma. I grew up at a time when abortion was unlawful. And that means there were women who bled to death from back-alley abortions. It means there were women who ended their own lives rather than carry forward a pregnancy that they could not bear. Yeah, and that’s the world that the Republican extremists are trying to recreate. Make no...

Use of disinfectants by pregnant women may be a risk factor for asthma and eczema in their children, finds a population study. Exposure to disinfectants in the workplace has been linked to asthma and dermatitis previously in the workers exposed, but few studies have looked at pregnancy and the subsequent development of allergic disease in children. The odds of children having asthma or eczema were significantly higher if their mothers used disinfectant one to six times a week compared with the odds in children of mothers who never used disinfectants. There was an exposure-dependent relationship between prenatal exposure to disinfectants...
