lifesitenews--2020-10-08--WATCH: Science-loving Kamala Harris absurdly claims unborn baby is pregnant woman’s ‘own body’

October 8 , 2020 ( LifeSiteNews ) – Kamala Harris wants you to know that she and Joe Biden are very , very into science .
During last night ’ s vice-presidential debate , she made it a central plank in the Harris-Biden platform : “ Joe believes in science .
I ’ ll tell you something , Susan , I served , when I first got to the Senate , on the committee that ’ s responsible for the environment .
Did you know this administration took the word ‘ science ’ off the website ?
And then took @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the website ?
We have seen a pattern in this administration which is that they don ’ t believe in science.
” Got that ?
Joe Biden and Kamala Harris believe in science .
Donald Trump and Mike Pence do not .
In fact , whoever runs Joe Biden ’ s Twitter profile is constantly tweeting about believing science and why science is important .
The point Biden and Harris are trying to make , of course , is that Trump and Pence are so unbelievably stupid and stuck in the Dark Ages @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in the basic mechanism humans use to understand reality .
That , we are told , is incredibly alarming .
But Harris ’ s support for science suddenly vanished when it came time to address the issue of abortion .
In the discussion about Amy Coney Barrett and the Supreme Court , Harris noted that both she and Joe Biden are firmly dedicated to the promotion of feticide : “ I will always fight for a woman ’ s right to make a decision over her own body .
It should be her @ @ @ @ @ @ @ or Mike Pence.
” It must be noted here that during the abortion procedure , it is not the body of the woman being aborted .
Abortion is a procedure that targets a different body entirely , the body of the pre-born child within the womb of his or her mother .
Scientifically speaking , Harris is arguing that it should be a right to end the life of a living , unique , whole human being .
This is not a matter of debate , either—at least , not among scientists .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ , 96 % of 5,577 biologists surveyed “ affirmed the view that human life begins at fertilization.
” It is not controversial to say that life begins at fertilization .
Again , scientifically speaking , that is .
Harris may be unaware of this fact ( and considering how enthused she and Biden are about science , someone really should fill her in ) , but it has real implications for her worldview .
After all , if science tells us when life begins , and she supports a procedure that would chemically @ @ @ @ @ @ @ decapitate those vulnerable human beings ( and on the taxpayer ’ s dime ) , surely this is something that should be discussed .
If we believe in science , that is .
Which she has assured us she does .
Just last week , Kamala Harris offered her condolences to Chrissy Teigen and John Legend on the loss of their son at 20 weeks , noting that she and her husband were “ deeply sorry for your loss.
” This is completely appropriate : After all , they had just tragically lost @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a debate where she affirmed her belief in science , she suddenly adopted unscientific and euphemistic language that flies directly in the face of her very recent acknowledgment of the humanity of children in the womb .
What happened to following the facts ?
Because here they are : Scientists agree on when human life begins .
We now have the unprecedented capacity to look within the womb .
We can see the human being growing there .
We can perform surgeries on children in the womb .
We can watch them suck @ @ @ @ @ @ @ touch , and even wave their arms and legs .
And when an abortion happens , that child must be physically destroyed before he or she can be suctioned or pulled from the womb .
Those are the facts .
The fact that Joe Biden and Kamala Harris refuse to acknowledge them will be deadly for millions of pre-born children .

During her debate with VP Mike Pence, Harris touted her belief in science prior to championing abortion as a ‘woman’s right to make a decision over her own body’
October 8, 2020 (LifeSiteNews) – Kamala Harris wants you to know that she and Joe Biden are very, very into science. During last night’s vice-presidential debate, she made it a central plank in the Harris-Biden platform: “Joe believes in science. I’ll tell you something, Susan, I served, when I first got to the Senate, on the committee that’s responsible for the environment. Did you know this administration took the word ‘science’ off the website? And then took the words ‘climate change’ off the website? We have seen a pattern in this administration which is that they don’t believe in science.”
Got that? Joe Biden and Kamala Harris believe in science. Donald Trump and Mike Pence do not. In fact, whoever runs Joe Biden’s Twitter profile is constantly tweeting about believing science and why science is important. The point Biden and Harris are trying to make, of course, is that Trump and Pence are so unbelievably stupid and stuck in the Dark Ages that they don’t even believe in the basic mechanism humans use to understand reality.

In the discussion about Amy Coney Barrett and the Supreme Court, Harris noted that both she and Joe Biden are firmly dedicated to the promotion of feticide: “I will always fight for a woman’s right to make a decision over her own body. It should be her decision, not that of Donald Trump or Mike Pence.”
It must be noted here that during the abortion procedure, it is not the body of the woman being aborted. Abortion is a procedure that targets a different body entirely, the body of the pre-born child within the womb of his or her mother. Scientifically speaking, Harris is arguing that it should be a right to end the life of a living, unique, whole human being. This is not a matter of debate, either—at least, not among scientists. As Steve Jacobs noted recently in Quillette, 96% of 5,577 biologists surveyed “affirmed the view that human life begins at fertilization.”
It is not controversial to say that life begins at fertilization. Again, scientifically speaking, that is. Harris may be unaware of this fact (and considering how enthused she and Biden are about science, someone really should fill her in), but it has real implications for her worldview. After all, if science tells us when life begins, and she supports a procedure that would chemically poison, physically dismember, or brutally decapitate those vulnerable human beings (and on the taxpayer’s dime), surely this is something that should be discussed. If we believe in science, that is. Which she has assured us she does.

Thank you for signing this petition! Add your signature: Show Petition Text Country... State... Sign this Petition PETITION UPDATE (9/26/2020): With President Trump's nomination of Amy Coney Barrett to fill the vacancy on the Supreme Court left by the death of Ruth Bader Ginsburg, we are closer than we have been in decades to seeing Roe vs. Wade overturned. We now encourage the Senate to confirm Barrett as the next Associate Justice of the Supreme Court. Judge Barrett has a fantastic track recond on sanctity of life issues, has seven children, and is a devout believer. She is the perfect remedy for Ruth Bader Ginsburg's radical pro-abortionism. Please READ the full story here: 'BREAKING: Trump nominates Catholic mom of 7 Judge Amy Coney Barrett to Supreme Court' And then, please SIGN this petition telling the High Court that it's now time to end the activist Roe vs. Wade judgment. Thank you! __________________________________________________________________ PETITION UPDATE (6/29/2020): In a decision which has imperiled more abortion-minded women, sentenced more preborn to death, and upset pro-lifers across the nation,the United States Supreme Court decided 5-4 to strike down a Louisiana law requiring basic medical precautions in the event of abortion complications, with Chief Justice John Roberts reversing his own past decision to uphold a similar Texas law. Liberal Justice Stephen Breyer wrote the majority opinion, which held that the Louisiana law was unconstitutional for the simple fact that it was “almost word-for-word identical” to the Texas one the court already struck down in 2016. In his concurring opinion, Chief Justice Roberts acknowledged that he had “joined the dissent in Whole Woman’s Health and continue to believe that the case was wrongly decided. The question today however is not whether Whole Woman’s Health was right or wrong, but whether to adhere to it in deciding the present case.” We call on the Supreme Court to stop supporting the culture of death and overturn Roe vs Wade, now. PETITION UPDATE (1/20/2020): Hundreds of thousands of people will gather in Washington, D.C., this coming Friday, January 24th, for the March for Life. They will be praying for an end to Roe vs Wade, as the Supreme Court will hear a crucial, abortion-related case later this year in March. United our voices can change the course of history. Sign this petition TODAY! (LEARN MORE BELOW) PETITION UPDATE (1/3/2020): In advance of the Supreme Court's hearing arguments in an important abortion case later this year in March, 207 U.S. Senators and Representatives have signed amicus briefs supporting a Louisiana law requiring abortionists to have admitting privileges at a hospital nearby an abortion center. Some of these supporting briefs also suggest that now is the time to reconsider Roe vs Wade as sound law. Please SIGN this petition, calling on the U.S. Supreme Court to strike down Roe vs Wade. _____________________________________________________________________________ More than 60 million Americans have been slaughtered in their mother's wombs as a result of Roe v. Wade. This activist, unconstitutional ruling in 1973 has left countless women emotionally and psychologically scarred. It was believed by many that Roe would be overturned in 1992 with Planned Parenthood v. Casey. Despite having eight Republican-appointed judges at the time, the Supreme Court ruled 5-4 to uphold it. Since then, major gains have been made in the fight for life, and many lives have been saved. However, Roe v. Wade remains the law of the land, leaving millions of defenseless pre-born children vulnerable to murder. According to a 2016 study conducted by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 35% of aborted babies are African American, despite black women only making up six percent of the U.S. population. 19% of aborted babies are Hispanic. We thus again call on the court to do everything they can to end Roe vs Wade. Now is the time for pro-lifers to join together and ensure that all of God's children have a right to life. Roe v. Wade must come to an end!

lifesitenews--2020-10-08--Scientist who fled China: Chinese Communists arrested my mom because I told truth about COVID’s orig

Scientist who fled China: Chinese Communists arrested my mom because I told truth about COVID’s origin

October 8 , 2020 ( LifeSiteNews ) – The Chinese virologist who fled to the U.S. and claims that COVID-19 was manufactured in a China lab said this week that her mother has been arrested by the Chinese Communist Party ( CCP ) .
Dr. Li-Meng Yan had fled to the United States in April , after criticizing the Chinese government ’ s management of the COVID-19 pandemic .
She says that her mother ’ s arrest is not justified .
“ My mom has done nothing wrong , ” she told Fox News host Tucker Carlson on Tuesday .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ mom for , and send her to Beijing , is because I tell the truth of COVID-19 , which [ they ] feel angry about.
” On September 14 , Yan and three colleagues issued a research paper in which they cast doubts on the commonly held position that COVID-19 originated naturally .
The paper stated that “ the natural origin theory , although widely accepted , lacks substantial support.
” The authors noted that any deviation from the natural origin theory is strongly censured .
However , Yan ’ s paper presents @ @ @ @ @ @ @ COVID-19 and shows that the virus “ should be a laboratory product created by using bat coronaviruses ZC45 and/or ZXC21 as a template and/or backbone.
” After the publication of the paper , Yan ’ s Twitter account was suspended .
Yan stated on Tucker Carlson Tonight on September 15 that COVID-19 was man-made and intentionally released by the Chinese government .
“ So , together with my experience , I can tell you , this is created in the lab … and also , it is spread to the world to make @ @ @ @ @ @ @ knew of the origins and purpose of the COVID-19 pandemic .
“ So I have evidence to show why they can do it , what they have done , how did they do it.
” Additionally , she said that “ the scientific world also keeps silence and work together with the Chinese Communist Party , they don ’ t want the people to know this truth.
” Following her own public statements regarding COVID-19 , Yan said she was a threat to the Chinese authorities .
“ I am the target that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ” In the show aired October 6 , Yan stated that the recent arrest of her mother is due to her own whistleblowing on COVID-19 .
She said the CCP was trying to prevent her from speaking out : “ What they have done is try to make me silent.
” Yan further referenced the fact that Chinese authorities were angered by the interview with Tucker Carlson on September 15 .
She also noted that she had received no support from the World Health Organization or the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ critics is a normal tactic of the CCP .
“ It is common sense for our Chinese people in our daily life .
Chinese Communist Party can use no reason to arrest and even kill anyone , just because you make them unhappy or you try to reveal the truth.
” Recently , a Chinese billionaire was given a jail sentence for 18 years after having criticized the manner in which President Xi Jinping managed the pandemic .
Chinese state media declared that Ren Zhiqiang had been found guilty of financial corruption .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ COVID-19 not from nature but created in lab

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!

lifesitenews--2020-10-08--Facebook ‘fact-checkers’ flag LifeSiteNews for giving dissenting COVID info a platform

October 8 , 2020 ( LifeSiteNews ) – Facebook has flagged at least four recent LifeSiteNews articles pertaining to COVID-19 for alleged “ false information ” because they contradict the conclusions of left-leaning “ fact-checking ” websites and the embattled World Health Organization ( WHO ) .
When posted to LifeSite ’ s Facebook page , the four articles – “ How a false hydroxychloroquine narrative was created , and more ” ; “ Report : Other countries faring better against COVID due to hydroxychloroquine , not lockdowns ” ; “ CDC director insists masks will save us from COVID @ @ @ @ @ @ @ “ Scientist who fled China : Chinese Communists ‘ intentionally ’ released ‘ Frankenstein ’ COVID-19 ” – are given disclaimers that followers must click through before accessing the link , which claim “ independent fact-checkers say this information has no basis in fact ” and link to articles purporting to debunk them .
Many Facebook users posting other LifeSiteNews articles now receive a warning that they ’ re sharing from a source that has been marked as “ fake news ” by “ fact-checkers.
” The “ fact-checks ” do not dispute @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of the statements covered in the aforementioned articles ( in fact , only one of the “ fact-checks ” was written in direct response to LifeSite ) , but rather dispute the statements themselves , in effect objecting to the fact that LifeSite gave them space to be heard .
Facebook ’ s “ fact-checking ” partners take issue with three general positions : that hydroxychloroquine ( HCQ ) is effective at treating COVID-19 ( Lead Stories , Health Feedback ) , that masks are ineffective at preventing COVID-19 ( Health Feedback ) @ @ @ @ @ @ @ created in a Chinese lab ( PolitiFact , Health Feedback ) .
Regarding HCQ , the “ fact-checkers ” note that the author of the Economic Standard white paper LifeSite covered last month , Erik Sass , has no medical training ( though he says he wrote it in “ close collaboration with practicing physicians and infectious disease specialists from across the United States and around the world ” ) , and cite studies and experts that have concluded the drug is ineffective against COVID-19 .
However , Lead Stories does not delve @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Sass cites finding the opposite conclusion , but instead simply takes as authoritative Vanderbilt University COVID-19 researcher Dr. Wesley Self ’ s claim to have seen “ no evidence whatsoever of it being useful.
” While Health Feedback goes into more detail , and argues that pro-HCQ studies “ contain significant flaws , ” it fails to mention that the same can be said of studies that agree with its position – such as a study published this summer in The Lancet , which was hailed as conclusive by numerous governments , health @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the prestigious journal was forced to retract it upon discovery that the company which supplied the data was very likely fraudulent .
Regarding masks , Health Feedback cites a handful of studies finding that cloth masks are effective at blocking respiratory droplets that can carry COVID-19 , and argues it is fallacious to reject masks on the basis of COVID-19 particles being smaller than the pores in masks , because the respiratory droplets carrying those particles through the air are larger .
Once again , however , the “ fact-checker ” does not @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of masks , such as the CDC ’ s September acknowledgement that masks can not be counted on to keep out the coronavirus when spending 15 minutes or longer within six feet of someone , or a May 2020 study published by CDC ’ s peer-reviewed journal Emerging Infectious Diseases which “ did not find evidence that surgical-type face masks are effective in reducing laboratory-confirmed influenza transmission , either when worn by infected persons ( source control ) or by persons in the general community to reduce their susceptibility.
” Regarding Chinese virologist @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the Chinese government “ intentionally ” created and released COVID-19 , Health Feedback and PolitiFact claim that “ scientific consensus ” agrees the virus ’ s characteristics are consistent with viruses found in nature , and contradicts her conclusion that the virus is artificial .
And while they admit the possibility of COVID-19 leaking from a lab can ’ t be ruled out , both “ fact-checkers ” also fault her for not presenting hard evidence of her allegations .
Notably , biotech expert and World Academy of Biomedical Sciences and Technologies president @ @ @ @ @ @ @ COVID-19 was lab-created ( as do other experts ) .
More to the point , however , Yan is not a third-party observer but a firsthand witness offering testimony of an alleged cover-up , which alone is newsworthy evidence ( if not proof ) .
She says her superiors at the University of Hong Kong warned her to “ keep silent ” about her findings or she would “ be disappeared.
” She fled Hong Kong for the United States in April , and for her efforts has been abandoned by her husband @ @ @ @ @ @ @ by her own parents , and fired by the University of Hong Kong .
She says of the Chinese government , “ if they find me , they will kill me.

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.

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!

lifesitenews--2020-10-08--Kamala Harris exposed for refusing to prosecute priests credibly accused of sex abuse

October 8 , 2020 ( LifeSiteNews ) – Victims of clerical sex abuse testify that Kamala Harris repeatedly refused to release church records on abusive priests while she was district attorney of San Francisco .
The claims come amidst allegations that Harris ’ previous political campaigns received substantial donations from law firms and lawyers representing the San Francisco archdiocese .
“ Many of the law firms and lawyers who were representing the archdiocese on a variety of legal matters — including priests that had been identified as possible culprits — gave large contributions [ to Harris ’ s political campaign @ @ @ @ @ @ @ given contributions to a race like this before , but they loaded up her campaign coffers , ” said Peter Schweizer in an August 13 interview with Alex Marlow of Sirius XM ’ s Breitbart News Daily , as reported by Breitbart on the same date .
Schweizer is author of “ Profiles in Corruption : Abuse of Power by America ’ s Progressive Elite ” and president of the Government Accountability Institute .
Harris ’ office claimed that her decision to withhold records was made to protect the identity of the victims @ @ @ @ @ @ @ however , that this is a bogus explanation .
“ What she was saying was utter nonsense , ” said Bay Area attorney Michael Meadows to the Associated Press in June 2019 .
“ All she had to do was redact any identifying information.
” “ Harris “ basically put [ the records ] under seal so that [ they ] could never be released publicly , ” said Schweizer in his Breitbart interview .
Harris ’ predecessor , former San Francisco DA Terence Hallinan , had previously planned to publicly release these @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Archdiocese of San Francisco , ” Kraychik reported .
Hallinan believes that the records should be released under the California Public Records Act .
“ My policy was and still would be that when I received any sort of materials like that they would become public records , ” said Hallinan to San Francisco Weekly in 2005 .
“ Those are materials that should be brought out to the public.
” Schweizer said in his interview with Marlow that as DA responsible for all prosecutions in the San Francisco area , “ Between @ @ @ @ @ @ @ did not prosecute a single case of priests ’ sexual abuse – period.
” “ To put that in the context of how stunning that is , if you look at the top 50 metropolitan areas in the United States at that time , all 50 prosecuted at least one case , the sole exception being Kamala Harris in San Francisco.
” Rick Simons , attorney and court-appointed coordinator for clergy abuse cases filed in Nothern California , noted that Harris was also atypical within the California Bay area for her refusal to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Of all the DAs in the Bay Area , she ’ s the only one who wouldn ’ t cooperate with us , ” Simons said .
Joey Piscitelli is one of the survivors of abuse by priests within the San Francisco jurisdiction .
He was molested multiple times by a priest while he attended Salesian High School .
“ I just gave up on Catholicism .
I gave up on God .
I lost all sense of spirituality , ” said Piscitelli in an exclusive interview with The Intercept , shared in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ San Francisco DA , Piscitelli said he wrote a letter to her asking for help or accessibility to the file of his abuser .
“ I didn ’ t get any response , ” he said .
In 2010 , when Harris was running for state attorney general and “ highlighting her work for victims of sexual abuse , ” Piscitelli wrote her a second letter “ urging her to release records on accused clergy to help other alleged victims who were filing lawsuits.
” “ We all know you can redact the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , ” he wrote .
“ Nobody is being fooled.
” “ At about the same time , the San Francisco Weekly renewed a previous public records request for the church documents on sexual abuse.
” Harris remained obstinate in her refusal to release them , continuing to claim that it was in order to protect the identities of the victims .
Schweizer noted in his Breitbart interview , “ Many of the law firms and lawyers who were representing the archdiocese on a variety of legal matters — including priests that had @ @ @ @ @ @ @ large contributions [ to Harris ’ s political campaign ] .
Some of them had never given contributions to a race like this before , but they loaded up her campaign coffers.
” Harris ’ campaign has since made a statement to the Associated Press insisting that she is a “ staunch advocate ” of sex abuse victims .
She has remained silent about protests that she has helped cover up sex abuse .

In a resounding victory for supporters of life, family and freedom, the U.S. Senate has just confirmed Judge Amy Coney Barrett to the Supreme Court of the United States!
Justice Barrett was sworn-in by Justice Clarence Thomas and will swiftly fill the vacant seat and immediately begin participating in Supreme Court hearings.
The petitions signed by many of you - there are now over 40,000 signatures - supporting Judge Amy Coney Barrett were sent to Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, as well as to the Officers of the USCCB.
Thank you for signing these petitions. As you can see, your signature really does make a difference!
We also know that many of you also made calls to your U.S. senators to encourage them to vote for Judge Barrett. Thank you!

PETITION UPDATE (10/22/2020)
The U.S. Senate Judiciary Committee just voted to advance Judge Amy Coney Barrett’s Supreme Court nomination to the full Senate, leaving only one hurdle to go next week.
Every Republican on the committee voted for Barrett, President Donald Trump’s selection to replace the late Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, while every committee Democrat boycotted the vote, CNBC reports.
Please READ the latest LifeSite article about the Senate Committee's vote here.
As you read above, Judge Barrett has one more hurdle next Monday. Of course, it's the BIGGEST hurdle.
So, if you haven't already, could we ask you to please call your U.S. senators to politely voice your support for Judge Barrett?
After SIGNING this petition, please scroll down the page, where you will find the list of all U.S. senators' contact details.
Let's keep working and praying so that we can see a pro-life judge sit on the Supreme Court.

PETITION UPDATE (10/15/20)
The fourth day of Judge Amy Coney Barrett’s Senate confirmation hearing for the open seat on the U.S. Supreme Court is going on now.
Please CLICK HERE to go to the livestream of the hearings.
Please watch and read EXCLUSIVE LifeSite videos and articles about Judge Amy Coney Barrett's hearings:

'"That's your job": Judge Barrett responds to relevance of Obamacare to SCOTUS confirmation'

'Ted Cruz at Barrett hearing warns Democrats want to ‘erase’ religious liberty'
______________________________________________________________
Conservatives and Christians asked President Trump to deliver a proven constitutional originalist with a solid pro-life background, and he did.
Now, let's not be outdone by Leftist organizations which will be mobilizing their forces to write, call and visit their senators' constituency offices.
Please SIGN this urgent petition - to Senate Leadership - asking them to quickly confirm Barrett as the next Supreme Court justice.
Then, please take a couple of minutes to CALL YOUR U.S. SENATORS using their numbers below, and politely urge them to confirm Barrett.
When Amy Coney Barrett's senate confirmation hearing begins on Monday, October 12th, the mother of seven and devout Catholic is expected to face fierce opposition.
Of course, the anticipated attacks have nothing to do with Barrett's legal credentials, which are uniformly top-notch.
Instead, they have to do with her faith in Jesus and with her belief that life begins at conception.
This is nothing short of anti-Christian bigotry which cannot be tolerated.
The fact is, Amy Coney Barrett is the best candidate for the job, and she urgently needs our support.
By signing the petition, we can unite to powerfully speak with one voice. But, by calling your senators, you can ensure that they know their local constituents are concerned and interested enough to telephone their offices.
This is our time to get active! We must voice our support for Amy Coney Barrett at this crucial moment in our nation's history.
Please SIGN this petition, and then please use the contact details below to CALL YOUR U.S. SENATORS right-away! Thank you!

lifesitenews--2020-10-08--Newt Gingrich warns Tucker: If Biden wins ‘you won’t be on the air anymore’

UNITED STATES , October 8 , 2020 ( LifeSiteNews ) – Former Republican House Speaker , Newt Gingrich , told Tucker Carlson last night that a Harris-Biden November election victory will likely result in the cancellation of the popular news show host .
“ These are people who love power…you won ’ t be on the air anymore , Fox will probably become the equivalent of PBS , and they simply won ’ t tolerate it , ” Gingrich said .
Carlson had invited Gingrich on to discuss the evening ’ s Vice-Presidential debate between Republican Mike Pence and Democrat @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , Carlson underscored the importance of the debate due to the likelihood that if Joe Biden is elected , Harris would be the one effectively running the country .
Gingrich agreed with Carlson ’ s assessment saying that if Biden becomes the U.S. President , “ he ’ d be sleeping half the day , ” leaving Harris to do as she pleased .
“ She ’ d be working overtime putting her radical allies in charge of virtually everything , ” he said .
Gingrich also pointed out that Harris ’ radicalism @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , state funded abortion , and “ totally open borders , ” would be unlikely to resonate with most Americans .
For that reason , Gingrich expressed his hope that the debate would help Americans get a close look at who she is .
He lamented that “ because 93 percent of the media is determined to destroy Trump…there 's no serious reporting about the true radicalism of the Biden-Harris ticket.
” Carlson asked Gingrich whether he thought Trump supporters would find themselves in trouble in a Biden-Harris administration .
The Fox News @ @ @ @ @ @ @ by MSNBC news anchor Chris Hayes suggesting the establishment of a “ truth and reconciliation commission ” to deal with Trump supporters .
Gingrich responded by pointing out the abuses of power Democrat politicians have exercised this year , including the threat by New York Governor Andrew Cuomo to close the synagogue of the Jewish community in New York “ if they don ’ t obey him , ” and Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer ’ s coronavirus lockdown measures which were eventually found unlawful by the Michigan Supreme Court .
“ These people @ @ @ @ @ @ @ will do everything they can in the first two years to make the entire country like California and to ensure that nobody can ever defeat them for office again , ” he said .
“ I think it ’ s a very dangerous , foreboding election .
