lifesitenews--2020-11-20--UK plans QR code vaccine passport for access to public events

LONDON , November 20 , 2020 ( LifeSiteNews ) – As the U.K. enters the third week of its second national lockdown , the government is drawing up plans for a digital code allowing people to access public events , based on whether they have received a COVID-19 vaccine or not .
The Telegraph reported that those who had a COVID-19 vaccine “ could be issued with QR codes on their mobile phones to allow them entry to large cultural and sporting events under proposals floated by ministers.
” Government sources suggested to the paper that “ people who are @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of immunity certification.

Government officials suggest that ‘people who are inoculated should be issued with a form of immunity certification.’
LONDON, November 20, 2020 (LifeSiteNews) – As the U.K. enters the third week of its second national lockdown, the government is drawing up plans for a digital code allowing people to access public events, based on whether they have received a COVID-19 vaccine or not.

He added that such a move would “encourage more people to get vaccinated.”
Another government insider commented, “One way of opening up society would be those people who have had vaccinations carrying some kind of QR code or some sort of immunity certification which shows that they have been tested.”
The Telegraph referred to a paper recently published by the think tank Policy Exchange, advocating for digital IDs, which suggested, “Once vaccination commenced at a population-scale, the digital certificates could be used to incentivise the population to be immunised, as verified digital IDs could be a prerequisite for admittance to a limited number of settings where the risk of infection is higher.”
The report specifically states that the QR code would be linked directly to vaccination. “Importantly, the certification process must be tied to vaccination rather than the presence of antibodies — given the well-known issues associated with immunity passports.”

Thank you for signing this petition! Add your signature: Show Petition Text Country... State... Sign this Petition **Photo credit: Shutterstock.com Mainstream media sources are promoting offensive suggestions by some doctors that people who refuse a vaccine for COVID-19 should be "punished" by the government and by business - effectively coercing them into taking the vaccine. One group of doctors writing in 'USA Today' suggested that the government impose special taxes (i.e., fines) on people who refuse the vaccination and that business simply refuse to serve them. [see story below]
Another doctor writing in an online publication called 'The Conversation' shamelessly suggested that people who refuse a vaccine should be given a psychoactive drug to induce compliance. [see story below] But, these suggestions are plain political posturing, and have nothing to do with science or with the recent trends of the disease. And, in case they haven't noticed, we live in a democracy not a medical dictatorship! Please SIGN this urgent petition which asks policy-makers and business people, at all levels, to pledge to respect the rights of those who, in good conscience, decide not to vaccinate themselves or their children. People should not have to live in fear of governmental or corporate retribution for refusing a vaccine which is being rushed to market by Big Pharma and their fellow-travelers in NGOs, like the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. It would be intolerable and immoral for the government or business to coerce someone, and their family, to take a COVID vaccine against their will to avoid a fine, or just so they can do their weekly grocery shopping. Medical freedom must be respected in principle and also in practice. So, it is now time that our policy-makers listen to all voices involved in this vital conversation, and start to represent those who will not tolerate being punished for refusing a vaccine. Simply put, legislatures must begin to act as legislatures again. Questions must be asked. Hearings and investigations must be held. And, the legislatures of each state and country must return to the business of representing the people who voted for them, assuming their rightful place as the originator of legislation. We can no longer accept the dictates of executive branches without question, especially now that, statistically speaking, the initial brunt of the COVID crisis has passed. Neither can we accept the dictates of doctors who seem detached from reality and from science, and who only seem to be attached to the idea of promoting ideas which contribute to the agrandizement of power and control of political interests, and wealth of those who stand to make a lot of money from the sale of a COVID vaccine. Please SIGN this urgent petition which asks government and business leaders to pledge to respect the rights of those who refuse a COVID vaccine, and not seek to punish them for doing so.

lifesitenews--2020-11-20--BREAKING: YouTube deletes LifeSite video, shuts down channel for one week

Big Tech is censoring us .
Subscribe to our email list and bookmark LifeSiteNews.com to continue getting our news .
Subscribe now .
November 20 , 2020 ( LifeSiteNews ) – YouTube has removed from LifeSite ’ s channel a video containing audio of a well-respected doctor discussing the uselessness of masks and widespread public hysteria over the coronavirus , calling it “ medical misinformation.
” LifeSiteNews is now unable to upload any new videos for a week .
The offending video was nothing more than an audio presentation of comments made originally by Dr. Roger Hodkinson , a distinguished @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Medical Assessments .
Hodkinson is the former chairman of the Royal College of Physicians of Canada Examination Committee and Pathology in Ottawa .
Dr. Hodkinson gave the comments at a public city meeting in Canada last week , and slated the state imposed lockdowns , which are supposedly to prevent the spread of COVID-19 .
He stated , “ There is utterly unfounded public hysteria driven by the media and politicians .
It ’ s outrageous .
This is the greatest hoax ever perpetrated on an unsuspecting public .
There is absolutely nothing @ @ @ @ @ @ @ virus.
” “ Masks are utterly useless .
There is no evidence base for their effectiveness whatsoever .
Paper masks and fabric masks are simply virtue-signalling .
They ’ re not even worn effectively most of the time , ” said Hodkinson .
LifeSite ’ s video of Hodkinson ’ s words was taken down almost immediately , and YouTube stated that the video had violated its policy of “ medical misinformation.
” YouTube stated that such a violation goes against its “ community guidelines.
” However , Dr. Hodkinson prefaced his comments @ @ @ @ @ @ @ prevent people from disregarding his words as misinformation .
The doctor explained , “ I ’ m a medical specialist in pathology which includes virology .
I trained at Cambridge University in the U.K.
I ’ m the ex-president of the pathology section of the Medical Association .
I was previously an assistant professor in the Faculty of Medicine doing a lot of teaching .
I was the chairman of the Royal College of Physicians of Canada Examination Committee and Pathology in Ottawa , but more to the point I ’ m currently @ @ @ @ @ @ @ North Carolina selling the COVID-19 test.
” Two days before , on November 18 , the video platform had flagged another of LifeSite ’ s videos , The Mother Miriam Show .
Despite being titled as “ Catholic Christmas traditions to instill faith in your kids , ” that video also received a warning of “ medical misinformation.
” YouTube then removed the video .
With the warning on November 18 , and today ’ s strike , LifeSite has now been banned from uploading any videos by YouTube for a week .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ strike , and if YouTube deems that LifeSite has incurred three strikes within a 90-day period , this would result in the permanent removal of our channel , which has over 200,000 subscribers .
The video , which is embedded above , can be found on LifeSite ’ s Rumble account here .

PETITION UPDATE (12/11/2020)
Right before Thanksgiving, YouTube deleted a LifeSite video of a distinguished Canadian physician protesting the "unfounded public hysteria" over COVID-19 and accused us of spreading "medical misinformation."
Our account was suspended, and we were prohibited from posting videos on our YouTube channel for one week. And, while that may not seem like a big deal, it's a huge deal for a news organization like LifeSite.
Then, earlier this week, YouTube again suspended our account – this time for two weeks – over an episode of The Bishop Strickland Show wherein Bishop Strickland said he would not take an unethical COVID-19 vaccine.
We were able to appeal the suspension, and our request was granted.
This means that in YouTube's three-strikes-and-you're-out content-policing, idea-cleansing scheme, we are back down to one strike. But, we still face the threat of losing our account permanently.
And, we're not the only ones.
In a recent turn of events, YouTube just announced that it will remove videos alleging widespread voter fraud in the 2020 presidential election.
But, what is YouTube afraid of? The truth???
Thankfully, however, there is a one, big bright spot on the horizon: 48 states filed suit against Facebook just this week.
And, although this seems like a step in the right direction, the draconian measures which YouTube just rolled out, which are already wielded by Twitter, are an assault against free speech.
So, the fight for freedom of speech against Big Tech goes on. And, we must do everything we can to protect it!

PETITION UPDATE (11/18/2020)
Everyone thought the censorship by Big Tech corporations would decrease after the 2020 election, but the truth is that censorship is being felt just as much as it was before the election.
And, given the election outcome, perhaps Big Tech censorship now is even more consequential than it was before the election!
The two biggest social media platforms, Facebook and Twitter, and other Big Tech companies, are still censoring and suppressing stories and posts favorable to conservatives, and especially anything that has to do with election fraud.
Here are a few recent examples:
Women for America First organized the March for Trump on November 14, which was shut down by Facebook, MailChimp and Eventbrite. Despite Big Tech’s best efforts to cancel the event, the march went on and gathered a huge crowd.
Twitter has been suppressing a large number of President Trump’s Tweets. Most of his Tweets have been flagged arbitrarily with a warning stating: “This claim about election fraud is disputed."
Please READ this recent article about Big Tech's attempt to choke information conerning the recent Million MAGA March in Washington, DC: '5 things mainstream media won’t tell you about massive DC ‘Stop the Steal’ rally'
Then, please SIGN and SHARE this urgent petition, which calls on the Congress, the president, and governors to defend freedom of speech as Big Tech continues their rampant censorship.
PETITION UPDATE (10/15/2020)
In a remarkable development, Republican Senators Ted Cruz and Lindsey Graham have announced that the Senate Judiciary Committee will be issuing subpoenas to Twitter's Jack Dorsey and Facebook's Mark Zuckerburg for their company's suppression of two critical expose news stories about how Hunter Biden and the Biden Family allegedly profited from business deals made because of Joe Biden's position as Vice President.
Please WATCH LifeSite's exclusive video of the announcement by Senator Ted Cruz below.
According to the Chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, Senator Lindsey Graham, the subpoenas will be issued next Tuesday, for hearings to be held on Friday of next week.
This is a MASSIVE development, and should be welcomed by those who champion freedom of speech.
Again, this is all happening because Twitter and Facebook refuse to allow their members to share stories which would be favorable to conservatives.
Here's the timeline:
Yesterday, Twitter and Facebook suppressed a NY Post story about how Hunter Biden allegedly profited from introducing a Ukrainian businessman to his then-Vice President father, Joe Biden. The story also alleges that Vice President Biden then subsequently pressured Ukrainian authorities to fire a prosecutor who was investigating the businessman's company.
And, just this morning, Twitter suppressed another expose by the NY Post alleging that the Biden Family improperly profitted from deals made with one of the largest Chinese energy companies because of Vice President Biden's position in government.
But, right after the story broke, Senator Cruz tried to share the latest story on Twitter and was blocked. Twitter says that they are blocking the stories because they claim that the information was obtained illegally. However, Twitter showed no problem allowing illegally obtained information about President Trump's tax returns to be shared.
Please SIGN and SHARE this urgent petition, which calls on the Congress, the president, and governors to defend freedom of speech as Big Tech continues their rampant censorship.

PETITION UPDATE (9/17/2020)
Big Tech is out to kill free speech. LifeSite is out to protect it!
LifeSite has been digging deep into the many claims of liberal bias and selective censorship of pro-life, pro-family, and conservative voices on social media.
And, we are now launching our new series 'Uncensored: Big Tech vs. Free Speech', which will unpack how the actions of Big Tech censors actually affect conservative and Christian organization and individuals.
Please WATCH the first video in our series featuring Brigitte Gabriel, the Founder of ACT For America, one of the nation's premier national security grassroots organizations.
Ms. Gabriel's organization, ACT For America, has been targeted by Big Tech especially in the manipulation of search results.
Big Tech “think[s] they are God and they are exercising their godly power over everybody else,” Gabriel explained. "Because in today's world, anytime you want to find out any information about somebody, what do you do? Google. You go to the internet to find out some information about them. When you research anything about somebody, the first thing that comes up [in the search results] is the Southern Poverty Law Center’s labeling of ‘hate groups.’”
“And who are the ‘hate groups’? Family Research Council is a hate group because they are pro-family. American Family Radio is a hate group…LifeSiteNews is a hate group. My organization is a hate group because we sound the alarm about terrorism and protecting our constitutional freedom. And so they try to character assassinate you. And they control the language.”
LifeSite's research shows that Facebook, Google, YouTube, Twitter, and others have become far too dangerous for democracy.
They can and do sway elections and public opinion in whatever direction they want, primarily by manipulating search results, tracking our online behavior, and by blocking truthful content from their platforms.
Today, LifeSite is starting to fight back, with facts and with stories of conservatives and Christians who are being negatively impacted by Big Tech's liberal bias.
Please continue to follow our 'Big Tech vs. Free Speech' series which aims to launch a new video each week for the next eight weeks.
And, please sign our petition demanding that Big Tech monopolies are broken up. Thank you!
__________________________________________________________________________
ORIGINAL PETITION BACKGROUND TEXT:
The outrageous erasing of the White Coat Summit from the internet is only the latest in a long series of brazen acts of censorship against conservatives and all those who support legitimate free speech.
You may agree or disagree with the efficacy of Hydroxychloroquine against the coronavirus, but everyone should agree on this point:
No Big Tech company should have the power to erase from the internet the medical opinions of licensed practicing doctors simply because they do not like what they have to say about the coronavirus or their experience treating it. Americans and other free peoples do not need leftist computer programmers deciding what the best course of medical treatment is for them.
Google/Youtube, Facebook, Twitter, Apple and their Big Tech friends want to control what you see, what you read, what you think, and ultimately, how you vote. Not only do they spend hundreds of millions of dollars on lobbying congress and buttering up big Washington DC think tanks, but now they brazenly and directly censor any content they don't want you to see.
Big Tech, like other interest groups, aggressively lobby to help their businesses thrive, but increasingly, Big Tech is using blatant internet censorship to impose its radical world view over those they consider to be "deplorables."
This must stop, but it won't unless we demand it as forcefully as legally possible. We believe that we have reached the point were Big Tech must be broken up if legitimate free speech is going to survive and continue to thrive on the internet.
Please sign our petition to demand real consequences for Big Tech's suppression of legitimate free speech.
In 2016, emails revealed by Fox News' Tucker Carlson proved that Google tried to influence the election by affecting voter turnout. Thankfully they failed. But they didn't give up. Instead, they have been preparing and testing how to manipulate information to continue to abuse their monopolistic power.
In 2018, Google/Youtube et. al. succeeded in manipulating the Irish abortion referendum by blacklisting pro-life videos, manipulating pro-life search terms and results and intentionally withholding pro-life information. Again, this is not an opinion or a conspiracy theory, Project Veritas obtained first hand information proving the intentional censorship by Big Tech.
And the Coronavirus has just made things worse. You see, scared people are more easily manipulated into giving up their freedom of speech. Children are being kept from going to school, tens of millions of Americans are out of work, and rioting has broken out in most major American cities.
Now, more than ever, freedom of speech is necessary to secure all of our freedoms. Freedom of speech is crucial to truly exercise the freedom to vote for the person that best represents one's own views, or the freedom to decide what course of medical treatment to accept - especially the decision to control what vaccines are administered to our children.
Some experts, like Dr. Robert Epstein, a behavioral psychologist who has testified before congress against Big Tech believes that we may already be too late to control Big Tech's tyrannical control over information.
President Trump took a step in the right direction with his Executive Order calling for increased regulation of Big Tech. But much more can be done and needs to be done right now.
In an era where almost everything is polarized, there is an overwhelming support for breaking up the Big Tech monopolies. A recent Pew poll found that 75% of Americans believe that Big Tech companies have too much influence.
It is time to bring serious accountability to Big Tech for their attempts to use their monopolies to kill free speech.
It is time to break up Big Tech.

lifesitenews--2020-11-20--Rand Paul: Biden will ‘ruin the country’ if he locks down again

November 20 , 2020 ( LifeSiteNews ) – Republican Sen. Rand Paul of Kentucky didn ’ t hold back this week when discussing the coronavirus policies of the Biden administration , vowing to “ do everything I can to try to prevent ( former Vice President Joe ) Biden from locking us up and locking us down and forcing us to wear masks forever.
” Paul , an ophthalmologist who experienced and recovered from COVID-19 in March , was speaking Sunday to WACB ’ s John Catsimatidis when he said the prospect of Biden imposing a new lockdown was “ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ be a terrible president if we get him .
He ’ s going to ruin the country .
Lockdowns don ’ t work .
And in fact , all of the evidence on mandatory masks show that they don ’ t work either.
” “ There ’ s about 10 different countries or venues , maybe 20 , that instituted mandatory masks , and every one of them to a T , the infection rate or the COVID rate went up after the mask mandate , ” Paul argued .
“ All these @ @ @ @ @ @ @ staying six feet apart — they really don ’ t work , frankly .
And the virus , as The Wall Street Journal put it , is insidious .

The only thing that ’ s going to stop it is either enough immunity among individuals in the community or a vaccine.

— Article continues below Petition — U.S. Catholic Bishops: Retract premature and offensive statement "congratulating" Biden-Harris Show Petition Text 13406 have signed the petition. Let's get to 15000 ! Thank you for signing this petition! Add your signature: Show Petition Text Country... State... Sign this Petition PETITION UPDATE (12/10/20) Prior to the election on November 3, the U.S. bishops as a whole did not address Joe Biden’s anti-Catholic position regarding faith and morals. The bishops’ lack of clarity is a scandal in itself and probably contributed to the possible election of a pro-abortion “Catholic” to the presidency. The bishops could have spoken out against Biden’s stance collectively, but they were overwhelmingly silent. Because of this, they will be at least partly responsible for the policies advanced by a Biden administration, in the event that Biden is sworn into office. Please SIGN and SHARE this petition today! Since Archbishop José H. Gomez and the USCCB prematurely congratulated Joe Biden as “the second United States president to profess the Catholic faith,” Gomez has announced that Archbishop Allen H. Vigneron will lead a “working group” to deal with a Biden Administration. Although Joe Biden professes to be a Catholic, he supports policies that directly oppose the teaching of the Catholic Church, including abortion, homosexual “marriage,” and transgenderism for children. “[Biden has] given us reason to believe that he will support policies that are against some fundamental values that we hold dear as Catholics. These policies include the repeal of the Hyde Amendment and the preservation of Roe v. Wade. Both of these policies undermine our pre-eminent priority of the elimination of abortion,” said Gomez. On November 9, Archbishop Strickland of Tyler, Texas tweeted: “A dark cloud has descended on this nation when the USCCB and Planned Parenthood speak in unison in support of a Biden-Harris administration that supports the slaughter of innocents by abortion for all 9 months of pregnancy.” Additionally, Archbishop Samuel Aquila of Denver, Colorado and Archbishop Charles Chaput have both declared publicly that Joe Biden “should not receive Holy Communion." Unfortunately, Cardinal Wilton Gregory of Washington, D.C. has said that he will give Holy Communion to Biden because “it’s a matter of the responsibility that I have as the archbishop to be engaged and to be in dialogue with him, even in those areas where we obviously have some differences.” Bishop W. Francis Malooly of Wilmington, Delaware and Bishop McElroy of San Diego also congratulated Biden in statements, but they have not indicated whether or not they would administer Holy Communion to him. The bishops should not congratulate someone who has betrayed his Catholic Faith like Joe Biden has. It's an embarrassment and a scandal.

Please SIGN and SHARE this urgent petition to the U.S. Catholic bishops telling them to retract their premature and offensive statement on the media's call of the election in Biden's favor. As of the launch of this petition on November 9, NOT ONE STATE has certified the election results. All of the results are tentative and many are being litigated. So, this is not the time for the bishops to falsely assert that Biden "has received enough votes to be elected the 46th President of the United States." That's just not true, and for the bishops to willingly play along with the media's attempt to sweep allegations of voter fraud under the rug, is shocking behavior. And, while Joe Biden may profess the Catholic Faith, he has also stated his support for abortion, homosexual "marriage," and recently, transgenderism for children. For bishops, therefore, to congratulate a traitor to the Catholic Faith like Joe Biden, it requires a disturbing level of arrogance and pride. That is not to say they should stand in judgement. But to congratulate such a man, rather than chastise him, sends exactly the wrong message to the faithful, 50% of whom are believed to have supported Biden in his election bid. Stop ingratiating yourselves to a person who is advocating mass murder! Stop congratulating this anti-Catholic "Catholic." For goodness' sake, grow a backbone and start defending the Faith!

“ The Governor of Georgia , and Secretary of State , refuse to let us look at signatures which would expose hundreds of thousands of illegal ballots , and give the Republican Party and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Kelly Loeffler , a BIG VICTORY , ” Trump responded in a pair of tweets Friday .

November 20, 2020 (LifeSiteNews) – President Donald Trump blasted Georgia Republican Gov. Brian Kemp and Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger on Friday for certifying the state’s presidential election results in Democrat Joe Biden’s favor, despite several unresolved concerns about the accuracy of the vote.
Raffensperger’s office confirmed Friday that certification was underway (after some brief confusion caused by the premature release of an announcement that certification was already complete), and is expected to be finished by 5 p.m. The news follows a by-hand audit that reduced Biden’s lead over Trump from approximately 15,000 to 12,284, falling short of the margin necessary to flip the state. Both Raffensperger and Kemp have repeatedly downplayed suggestions that fraud could have significantly altered the preliminary results.
“The Governor of Georgia, and Secretary of State, refuse to let us look at signatures which would expose hundreds of thousands of illegal ballots, and give the Republican Party and me, David Perdue, and perhaps Kelly Loeffler, a BIG VICTORY,” Trump responded in a pair of tweets Friday. “Why won’t they do it, and why are they so fast to certify a meaningless tally?”
…Why won’t they do it, and why are they so fast to certify a meaningless tally? — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) November 20, 2020
Certification does not end the fighting over the state, however. Because the margin between Trump and Biden is less than half a percentage point, the Trump campaign still has the legal option of requesting an official machine recount. Should it do so, the key question will be whether state officials agree to conduct it with more stringent practices for reviewing potential irregularities such as mismatched signatures, insufficient proof of residence, or changed dates.
Just the News reported that Georgia rejected just 0.2 percent of mail-in ballots over such flaws in 2020, a rate more than 30 times lower than the rejection rate of 6.4 percent in 2016. University of Florida political science Professor Daniel Smith says this is simply because the “cure rate” — contacting absentee voters to resolve discrepancies before their ballots have to be tossed — was “much higher.”
However, Breitbart’s Joel Pollak suggested the curing and rejections would still be higher if not for a consent decree the state settled with Democrats in March which, he argues, made meaningful signature matching dramatically less likely by not only requiring any election official who finds a potential mismatch to consult with two colleagues before acting (“With hundreds of thousands of absentee ballots to be counted, it is difficult to pull additional officials off their assignments to examine a signature”), then requiring all three to sign their own names to the rejected envelope (potentially subjecting themselves to retaliation for “voter suppression”).
Further, The Federalist’s John Daniel Davidson added, “instead of having to match the signature on file with eNet, the absentee ballot signature only had to match the signature on the absentee ballot application. The key word in the settlement was ‘any.’ That is, an absentee ballot can only be rejected if it doesn’t match ‘any’ of the signatures on file — either in eNet or the signature on the absentee ballot application.”

lifesitenews--2020-11-20--Irish babies born after abortion are left to die, new report finds

DUBLIN , Ireland , November 20 , 2020 ( LifeSiteNews ) – A paper released in September , based on the personal accounts of doctors carrying out abortions in Ireland , has revealed that some babies born alive after abortions are deprived of medical care and left to die .
The study , published in the British Journal of Obstetrics and Gynaecology , was built on the responses of 10 doctors performing abortions in Irish hospitals .
It was conducted by three medical professionals from the University College Cork , and specifically focused on doctors dealing with babies with a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ or FFA .
Direct quotes from the doctors reveal that babies are sometimes born alive and left to die while doctors are “ left ‘ begging ’ for support to ensure its delivery.
” Doctors , or fetal medical specialists ( FMS ) , were reportedly “ unclear as to who will look after those babies if a baby is born alive following TOP ( termination of pregnancy ) by induction of labour and without feticide , resulting in them ‘ begging people to help ’ them in providing palliative care.
” The @ @ @ @ @ @ @ neonatologists ’ refusal to provide perinatal palliative care to the baby following a TOP by induction of labour and without feticide , with some of the FMS ’ s describing experiencing pressure from neonatologists to conduct feticide.
” Reporting on the study , conservative news site Gript said , “ If any other human being in Ireland was being left to die a painful death without palliative care , and doctors were begging for intervention , it would lead every news bulletin.
” One abortionist , or fatal medicine specialist , commented to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ sick out in the corridors afterwards because I thought it ( feticide ) was such an awful procedure and so dreadful .
You have to see the positive in it otherwise you would drive yourself mad.
” The report presents noteworthy analysis of the abortionists themselves , who “ described feticide as ‘ brutal , ’ ‘ awful , ’ and ‘ emotionally difﬁcult , ’ referring to it as ‘ stabbing the baby in the heart , ’ and held themselves responsible for the death of the baby : ‘ I caused @ @ @ @ @ @ @ study also noted that “ almost all of the FMS ’ s justiﬁed providing TOP for FFA or feticide because it was a ‘ kindness in some cases , ’ and they would want someone to ‘ step up and just be kind.
’ ” Those doctors who opposed the performance of an abortion , termed “ conscientious objectors ” in the report , were accused of “ conscientious obstruction ” by their medical colleagues .
In Ireland , abortion is currently allowed by law during the first 12 weeks of pregnancy , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ life is deemed to be at risk or the baby is deemed not likely to live more than 28 days after birth .
As a result , the study records that some doctors “ commented on the relief experienced when the baby dies , conﬁrming that their diagnosis was ‘ right , ’ ” thus ensuring that they had diagnosed the baby ’ s condition correctly and would be free from legal proceedings .
Incredibly , some doctors believed that for unborn infants with FFA , “ feticide needed to be mandatory for @ @ @ @ @ @ @ best interest of the baby to not be born alive.
” While the term fatal fetal abnormality is commonly used in arguments defending abortion , the term itself “ is not a medical definition.
” The Iona Institute noted that the three researchers who produced this study had written a different paper earlier in the year , highlighting the fact that there is no list of fatal conditions in the current abortion legislation .
Eilís Mulroy of the Pro Life Campaign said in response to the September study , “ It goes way @ @ @ @ @ @ @ campaigners expressed before the 2018 referendum about what would happen in the event of legalised abortion .
Doctors in this study are openly talking about the grotesque life-ending procedures they engage in , yet in the same breath they want to see the legal grounds for abortion expanded even more.
” Mulroy continued , “ TDs also refused to accept an amendment to the new law in 2018 that would have ensured babies born alive after botched abortions were given medical care.
” Last year , The Iona Institute reported that a couple @ @ @ @ @ @ @ they were advised that he would have Edward ’ s Syndrome , typically resulting in the child dying shortly after birth .
However , the final screening was not shown to the parents until after the abortion and showed that the baby was in fact in good health .

This is not the time for the Government to give-in to demands from the opposition. Stand up against the people who are attacking your churches while baying for the blood of innocent preborn children! And, explain to your people how the Court was RIGHT to have challenged the abortion law allowing the barbaric practice of eugenic abortion. Poland is a republican democracy, and in such a democracy, the Constitutional Court has the last say on matters of national importance. The Polish Court has spoken, and its ruling should be respected and implemented. And, under no circumstances should the Polish Government promise to reverse this decision in law or by granting a referendum on the same. Poland, be courageous and stand fast for Life.

And, thank you for SIGNING and SHARING this petition of support and solidarity with the Constitutional Court of Poland's decision to disallow eugenic abortion.

Reporting on the study, conservative news site Gript said, “If any other human being in Ireland was being left to die a painful death without palliative care, and doctors were begging for intervention, it would lead every news bulletin.”
One abortionist, or fatal medicine specialist, commented to the study that “I remember getting sick out in the corridors afterwards because I thought it (feticide) was such an awful procedure and so dreadful. You have to see the positive in it otherwise you would drive yourself mad.”
The report presents noteworthy analysis of the abortionists themselves, who “described feticide as ‘brutal,’ ‘awful,’ and ‘emotionally difﬁcult,’ referring to it as ‘stabbing the baby in the heart,’ and held themselves responsible for the death of the baby: ‘I caused the death.’”
Others called themselves “doctor death.”
However, the study also noted that “almost all of the FMS’s justiﬁed providing TOP for FFA or feticide because it was a ‘kindness in some cases,’ and they would want someone to ‘step up and just be kind.’”
Those doctors who opposed the performance of an abortion, termed “conscientious objectors” in the report, were accused of “conscientious obstruction” by their medical colleagues.
In Ireland, abortion is currently allowed by law during the first 12 weeks of pregnancy, or later if the mother’s life is deemed to be at risk or the baby is deemed not likely to live more than 28 days after birth.
As a result, the study records that some doctors “commented on the relief experienced when the baby dies, conﬁrming that their diagnosis was ‘right,’” thus ensuring that they had diagnosed the baby’s condition correctly and would be free from legal proceedings.
Incredibly, some doctors believed that for unborn infants with FFA, “feticide needed to be mandatory for late gestations because it was in the best interest of the baby to not be born alive.”
While the term fatal fetal abnormality is commonly used in arguments defending abortion, the term itself “is not a medical definition.”
The Iona Institute noted that the three researchers who produced this study had written a different paper earlier in the year, highlighting the fact that there is no list of fatal conditions in the current abortion legislation.
Eilís Mulroy of the Pro Life Campaign said in response to the September study, “It goes way beyond confirming the worst fears that pro-life campaigners expressed before the 2018 referendum about what would happen in the event of legalised abortion.

lifesitenews--2020-11-20--Democrat senators Warren, Klobuchar raised alarm about voting machines in 2019

November 20 , 2020 ( LifeSiteNews ) – President Donald Trump is not the first politician to have questioned the security and efficacy of Dominion ’ s voting machines .
Last year , as part of a probe into the business practices of private equity funds led by Democrat Senator Elizabeth Warren , the three funds ( H. I. G. Capital , McCarthy Group , and Staple Steel Capital Group ) that own or have investments in the three largest voting machine distributors ( Dominion Voting Systems , Hart InterCivic , and Election Systems & Software ) were asked to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ business practices .
The Democrat signatories of the Dec. 6 , 2019 letters outlined concerns with election security , including known instances of vote changing and malfunctioning .
“ Election security experts have noted for years that our nation 's election systems and infrastructure are under serious threat , ” they wrote .
The letter was signed by the Democrat Senators Elizabeth Warren , Amy Klobuchar and Ron Wyden , and Democrat Congressman Mark Pocan .
The revelation of the letters comes at a time when it is a familiar refrain that the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Voting Systems ’ machines changed votes on election night are “ baseless accusations.
” Mainstream news outlets incessantly point to the Joint Statement From Elections Infrastructure Government Coordinating Council & The Election Infrastructure Sector Coordinating Executive Committees , which says , “ The November 3rd election was the most secure in American history , ” and “ There is no evidence that any voting system deleted or lost votes , changed votes , or was in any way compromised.
” Citing their concern that companies owned by private equity funds “ implement drastic @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , workers , communities , and taxpayers , ” Democrat signatories of the 2019 letters went on to detail some of the problems with the voting machines produced by the three major suppliers , writing that “ voting machines are reportedly falling apart across the country , as vendors neglect to innovate and improve important voting systems , putting our elections at avoidable and increased risk.
” Most important , they pointed out that there have been recent cases of the machines switching votes or skewing results in a highly improbable direction .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ in South Carolina ( were ) reporting machines that switched their votes after they 'd inputted them , scanners ( were ) rejecting paper ballots in Missouri , and busted machines ( were ) causing long lines in Indiana.
’ In addition , researchers recently uncovered previously undisclosed vulnerabilities in ‘ nearly three dozen backend election systems in 10 states.
’ And , just this year , after the Democratic candidate 's electronic tally showed he received an improbable 164 votes out of 55,000 cast in a Pennsylvania state judicial election in 2019 @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , ‘ ( n ) othing went right on Election Day .
Everything went wrong .
That 's a problem.
’ ” Having given this evidence of miscounts and vote switching , the Democrat politicians note that “ these problems threaten the integrity of our elections and demonstrate the importance of election systems that are strong , durable , and not vulnerable to attack.

The Democrat senators said that vote-switching by machines is real and poses a ‘serious threat’ to integrity of elections.
November 20, 2020 (LifeSiteNews) – President Donald Trump is not the first politician to have questioned the security and efficacy of Dominion’s voting machines.
Last year, as part of a probe into the business practices of private equity funds led by Democrat Senator Elizabeth Warren, the three funds (H. I. G. Capital, McCarthy Group, and Staple Steel Capital Group) that own or have investments in the three largest voting machine distributors (Dominion Voting Systems, Hart InterCivic, and Election Systems & Software) were asked to provide the government an account of their business practices.
The Democrat signatories of the Dec. 6, 2019 letters outlined concerns with election security, including known instances of vote changing and malfunctioning. “Election security experts have noted for years that our nation's election systems and infrastructure are under serious threat,” they wrote.

The letter was signed by the Democrat Senators Elizabeth Warren, Amy Klobuchar and Ron Wyden, and Democrat Congressman Mark Pocan.
The revelation of the letters comes at a time when it is a familiar refrain that the Trump team’s contention that Dominion Voting Systems’ machines changed votes on election night are “baseless accusations.” Mainstream news outlets incessantly point to the Joint Statement From Elections Infrastructure Government Coordinating Council & The Election Infrastructure Sector Coordinating Executive Committees, which says, “The November 3rd election was the most secure in American history,” and “There is no evidence that any voting system deleted or lost votes, changed votes, or was in any way compromised.”
Citing their concern that companies owned by private equity funds “implement drastic cost-cutting measures at the expense of consumers, workers, communities, and taxpayers,” Democrat signatories of the 2019 letters went on to detail some of the problems with the voting machines produced by the three major suppliers, writing that “voting machines are reportedly falling apart across the country, as vendors neglect to innovate and improve important voting systems, putting our elections at avoidable and increased risk.”
Most important, they pointed out that there have been recent cases of the machines switching votes or skewing results in a highly improbable direction.
“In 2018 alone, ‘voters in South Carolina (were) reporting machines that switched their votes after they'd inputted them, scanners (were) rejecting paper ballots in Missouri, and busted machines (were) causing long lines in Indiana.’ In addition, researchers recently uncovered previously undisclosed vulnerabilities in ‘nearly three dozen backend election systems in 10 states.’ And, just this year, after the Democratic candidate's electronic tally showed he received an improbable 164 votes out of 55,000 cast in a Pennsylvania state judicial election in 2019, the county's Republican Chairwoman said, ‘(n)othing went right on Election Day. Everything went wrong. That's a problem.’”
Having given this evidence of miscounts and vote switching, the Democrat politicians note that “these problems threaten the integrity of our elections and demonstrate the importance of election systems that are strong, durable, and not vulnerable to attack.”
While the Trump team’s accusations that voting machines across the country were tampered with to skew the vote have yet to be proved in court, the long-standing bipartisan concern with the security and reliability of the machines and their software is reason enough to take the charges seriously.

lifesitenews--2020-11-20--FULL TRANSCRIPT: Doctor destroys ‘utterly unfounded public hysteria’ over COVID-19

UPDATE , November 20 , 2020 4:55 p.m. Eastern : Immediately after posting this video to YouTube , YouTube deleted it and suspended LifeSite ’ s account for 1 week .
Read details HERE .
November 20 , 2020 ( LifeSiteNews ) – Below LifeSiteNews presents the full transcript of the comments made by Dr. Roger Hodkinson , MA , MB , FRCPC , FCAP , CEO and medical director of Western Medical Assessments .
Dr. Hodkinson made these comments at a public city meeting in Western Canada last week , calling masks “ utterly useless ” and saying that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Thank you very much .
I do appreciate the opportunity to address you on this very important matter .
What I ’ m going to say is lay language , and blunt .
It ’ s counter-narrative , and so you don ’ t immediately think I ’ m a quack , I ’ m going to briefly outline my credentials so that you can understand where I ’ m coming from in terms of knowledge base in all of this .
I ’ m a medical specialist in pathology which includes virology @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the U.K.
I ’ m the ex-president of the pathology section of the Medical Association .
I was previously an assistant professor in the Faculty of Medicine doing a lot of teaching .
I was the chairman of the Royal College of Physicians of Canada Examination Committee and Pathology in Ottawa , but more to the point I ’ m currently the chairman of a biotechnology company in North Carolina selling the COVID-19 test .
And [ inaudible ] you might say I know a little bit about all of this .
The @ @ @ @ @ @ @ is utterly unfounded public hysteria driven by the media and politicians .
It ’ s outrageous .
This is the greatest hoax ever perpetrated on an unsuspecting public .
There is absolutely nothing that can be done to contain this virus .
Other than protecting older , more vulnerable people .
It should be thought of as nothing more than a bad flu season .
This is not Ebola .
It ’ s not SARS .
It ’ s politics playing medicine and that ’ s a very dangerous game .
There is @ @ @ @ @ @ @ than what happened last year when we felt unwell .
We stayed home , we took chicken noodle soup , we didn ’ t visit granny , and we decided when we would return to work .
We didn ’ t need anyone to tell us .
Masks are utterly useless .
There is no evidence base for their effectiveness whatsoever .
Paper masks and fabric masks are simply virtue-signaling .
They ’ re not even worn effectively most of the time .
It ’ s utterly ridiculous .
Seeing these unfortunate , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ saying that in a pejorative sense — seeing these people walking around like lemmings , obeying without any knowledge base , to put the mask on their face .
Social distancing is also useless because COVID is spread by aerosols which travel 30 meters or so before landing .
Enclosures have had such terrible unintended consequences .
Everywhere should be opened tomorrow as was stated in the Great Barrington Declaration that I circulated prior to this meeting .
And a word on testing : I do want to emphasize that I ’ m @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
I do want to emphasize that positive test results do not – underlined in neon – mean a clinical infection .
It ’ s simply driving public hysteria and all testing should stop .
Unless you ’ re presenting to the hospital with some respiratory problem .
All that should be done is to protect the vulnerable and to give them all in the nursing homes that are under your control , give them all 3,000 to 5,000 international units of vitamin D every day which has been shown to radically reduce @ @ @ @ @ @ @ would remind you all that using the province ’ s own statistics , the risk of death under 65 in this province is one in 300,000 .
One in 300,000 .
You ’ ve got to get a grip on this .
The scale of the response that you are undertaking with no evidence for it is utterly ridiculous given the consequences of acting in a way that you ’ re proposing .
All kinds of suicides , business closures – funerals , weddings , etc.
, etc .
It ’ s simply @ @ @ @ @ @ @ bad flu and you ’ ve got to get your minds around that .
Let people make their own decisions .
You should be totally out of the business of medicine .
You ’ re being led down the garden path by the chief medical officer of health for this province .
I am absolutely outraged that this has reached this level .
It should all stop tomorrow .
Thank you very much .

PETITION UPDATE (8/27/2020)
Thank you for continuing to SIGN and SHARE this petition, which asks policymakers at all levels of government to reverse mandatory mask orders within their borders.
Facebook has restored the share link for this petition, saying that the decision to block it was a 'mistake...'
Please share with your Facebook friends, but we should all take heed of this warning: when an organization or individuals have to beg, plead and cajole just to express objective truths, it may be time to start looking for other social networking platforms.
Facebook needs to treat its users with respect, no matter their political persuasion. Moreover, Facebook needs to treat objective reality and facts with more respect.
One-size-fits-all oppressive government mask mandates must stop!
Healthy adults and children should not be forced - by the state - to wear masks when the risk of infection is low and the benefit of wearing a mask is highly questionable.
________________________________________________________________________________________
PETITION UPDATE (8/25/2020)
Facebook is actively censoring this petition, saying that some people find it 'abusive.'
How anyone could find alternate facts about oppressive mask mandates 'abusive' is incredible...that is, impossible to believe.
This is exactly the kind of censorship which Big Tech is getting a bad reputation for.
The fact that Facebook calls differing opinion and objective reality "abusive" says a lot about Facebook and their agenda to silence reason and logic, not just conservatives and Christians.
But, people are more intelligent than Facebook give them credit for.
And, the more this continues, the more reasonable people will look alternate platforms to share their thoughts and connect with their friends and family. The more that happens, the less revenue Facebook will generate.
All of us have a decision to make, and the time is coming where we might have to tell our Facebook friends that we are moving to another platform.
We are encouraging people to continue SIGNING this petition and SHARING it via other platforms such as Parler and Gab, and to share the link below with your family and friends on Whatsapp, Telegram, Threema and Signal.
Thank you!

One-size-fits-all oppressive government mask mandates must stop!
Healthy adults and children should not be forced - by the state - to wear masks when the risk of infection is low and the benefit of wearing a mask is highly questionable.
Please SIGN this petition which asks policymakers at all levels of government to reverse mandatory mask mandates within their borders.
Public health policies should be based on science and logic, not on the type of political posturing and virtue-signaling which led Joe Biden to recently call for a national mask mandate.
And, public health policies certainly shouldn't lead to a situation where more people could become sick.
But, that is exactly what these mandatory mask mandates are doing.
Here are four inconvenient facts about masks:
1) Masks** are largely ineffective at stopping the transmission of viruses.
The vast majority of masks worn by the public are made from material which cannot filter-out viruses because virus particles are too small to catch or obstruct. Wearing cloth masks to stop a virus is like putting a bee in a bird cage to keep it from flying away.
Wearing a mask for long periods of time ensures that the wearer has a warm and moist receptacle around his or her mouth, on which viruses and bacteria can land and accumulate.
Thus, masks are actually likely to have little effect in stopping the spread of COVID-19 acting as a barrier, but could actually make things worse acting as a receptacle.
2) Mandates which call for masks to be worn outdoors are both absurd and oppressive.
3) There are clearly documented hazards of wearing masks for long periods of time.
4) And, since school is on everyone's mind...
Notwithstanding the above information on the ineffectiveness of most masks against viruses, we don't know if asymptomatic children can even transmit the virus.
But, it was a reported in an article in the July 21, 2020 Uk Times that: "There has been no recorded case of a teacher catching the coronavirus from a pupil anywhere in the world, according to one of the UK government's leading scientific advisers."
And, we also know that children are extremely unlikely to get seriously ill or die from COVID infections. In any case, children cannot possibly be expected to wear a mask properly in a way that would cut transmission.
There are still a lot of unknowns about COVID-19, but we have grown in our understanding of this disease since the beginning of the crisis.
The knowledge we have gained should allow government and health authorities to make more nuanced policies than the current one-size-fits-all mask mandates.
Where are the legislative hearings in county commissions, and state, provincial or federal legislatures before these drastic actions are mandated? Where are the open and transparent debates among experts that provide our representatives with the necessary information to make good policy decisions?
The real pandemic is the panic and the resulting tyranny that is being caused by dictatorial governors, corporate media and the monopolistic Big Tech.
The truth is that COVID-19 is like a bad cold for most people; this is not ebola or the plague.
Of course, the very elderly and those with serious health conditions should take precautions or be quarantined, but the rest of society should begin the long process of returning to normality.
The frenzy to force everyone to wear a mask, at all times, has gone beyond all comprehension, and goes against science and logic.
Please SIGN this petition which asks policymakers at all levels of government to reverse any mandatory mask order within the borders of their county, state, province, or country.
Thank you!
