Life begins at first breath. Abortion restrictions violate the 1st Amendment. Trans rights are human rights. Putin, Netanyahu, and Trump - the Axis of Evil. An #EnemyWithin

The Bible is Silent on Abortion, but Vocal about When Life Begins - TheTorah.com
Egyptian and Mesopotamian abortion-inducing recipes attest to the practice of abortion in the ancient Near East. While the Middle Assyrian Laws prohibit the practice, the Torah offers no ruling. Never...
www.thetorah.com
"the Bible does not clearly condemn abortion; it simply does not rule on it. It does, however, unequivocally demonstrate, within its own cultural constructions, that a woman’s life was considered to have more value than that of an unborn fetus, and that life begins at first breath."

Everyone suddenly pledging to send troops to protect what's left of Ukraine after Putin's taken all he can.

Despite the fact that the world is clearly oversupplied for oil in the coming years, it hasn't put a single dent in enthusiasm for accelerated expansion of new oil projects
The idea that this industry operates on a rational or logical basis is itself irrational...

Sky News host Freya Leach discusses the air conditioning temperatures within offices, seeming to be set for men’s comfort. Ms Leach said there’s a new article which explains why women “constantly feel colder” than men. “The standard temperature settings for offices were developed in the 1960s, but they were based on a study of men in their 40s, weighing 70 kilos, wearing suits.”

Yesterday Mark Carney stood side-by-side with Danish PM Mette Frederiksen in Paris and issued a "hands-off" warning to Trump. Carney announced that Canada is opening a new consulate in Nuuk, Greenland’s capital.

Warming China–ROK Ties: Why it matters
ROK President Lee Jae Myung is in Beijing this week on his first state visit to China since taking office. With geopolitical tensions rising, trade protectionism returning and Washington watching closely, the stakes of this visit extend beyond bilateral symbolism. Can the two sides rebuild momentum after years of strain? What concrete outcomes should we expect from President Lee's meetings in China?
