A Missouri obstetrician separated a baby’s head from his body during delivery and then shoved the newborn back into the mother and performed an emergency C-section to cover up the ghastly blunder, a couple claims in a lawsuit…The delivering doctor at St. John’s Mercy Medical Center, Dr. Gilbert Webb, refused to perform a C-section and “would only agree to deliver her baby by way of attempted trial of vaginal delivery,” the complaint said, according to Patch.
Webb refused to allow them to go to a different hospital, and “Betts consented to a trial of vaginal delivery under duress and protest,” the complaint said.
During the birth, the boy’s head breached, but the rest of his body got stuck in the birth canal, the complaint said.
In an attempt to pull the boy loose, Webb applied traction to his head and “separated (the boy’s) head from his cervical spine,” the complaint said.
Blood “shot out” from the newborn’s neck in full view of his parents, the complaint said.
While there is technically an “R” after my name when it comes to my direct political affiliation (I personally should change that to a more appropriate “I”), I must say interviews like this show that I have as much politically in common with Coulter as I do with Barny Frank or President Obama.
I love how Coulter claims to support Libertarian points, so long as we get rid of big government….while supporting big government so long as its Republican big government.
Her contempt for freedom is no better than the “Progressives”.
A group of teachers in a Florida suburb are receiving free weapons training classes for free
First up, I want to know what School of Journalism School the reporter went to who wrote that line, as well as the editor who let that get published. Still this is a great thing. Even with the federal law about guns in schools still in effect, this is the best way to raise awareness of the problems. Ignorance is the biggest problem, and many teachers, staff and administrators in schools are ignorant on guns and security, and through that ignorance, support the idea that somehow a sign on the side of the school might prevent violence.
“I’ve been kind of skirting around the issue of getting a gun again and this opportunity came open,” Oak Grove (Clearwater) Middle School teacher Terri Cunningham told FOX13 News. “I decided it’s free; don’t turn down anything that’s free.”
The class, which normally costs $75, was offered with a discount because of the apparent growing interest in concealed carry permits among teachers in the wake of the Newtown shooting.
Lenny Bogdanos, who works for International Executive Protection, told FOX13 News that ,”if you’re educated and trained properly then you’re going to understand how the weapon works, you’re not going to be afraid of it and you’re going to control the weapon instead of the weapon controlling you.”
I couldn’t say it better!
Also good to see in the picture the trainers are using suppressors in the class. This is another stupid gun law that needs to be struck down. Suppressors are awesome training tools, and hardly deserve the vilification they’ve received in this country.
First up the whole “Drunk Fraternity Members packing heat” argument just shows ignorance of the law. Sorry you can’t carry a gun while drunk. Period, full-stop. Its illegal. Either you think laws work or they don’t. If you’re worried about college students illegally carrying while drunk, then they’re probably illegally carrying while on campus too.
But just listen to that loud THUD as every jaw drops on the panel when he claims that rape on college campuses is rare.
Also I don’t know about other campuses, but while in my college days I read about a number of “Date Rapes” on campus that involved some very high-risk scenarios, and VERY ambiguous circumstances, there were quite a few…as Whoopie Goldberg so “Progressively” called “Rape Rape”, as in a dude ambushing a woman outside and sexually assaulting her.
I must link to Jay’s great roundup of “Progressive” Misogyny, and note the total lack of media outrage about these horrible backwards statements. Todd Akin became a national outrage when he talked about “Legitimate Rape” and Pregnancy, and rightfully so, but these people seem to be getting a free pass. It seems that when it comes to the media Party always trumps women’s rights!
Colorado Democratic State Rep. Joe Salazar said on the floor of the House that I should, apparently, buy a rape whistle. Why? Because as a woman, I can’t be trusted to shoot a gun. I wouldn’t encourage any would-be attackers out there to test that theory with me.
As a man, I am perfectly comfortable for every law abiding woman being a deadly threat to any man who wishes to take physical advantage of her. What side are all these “Progressives” on?
Thirteen of the 22 fraternity members facing hazing-related charges after the death of a Northern Illinois University student have turned themselves in….Nineteen-year-old David Bogenberger died after drinking heavily during a Nov. 1 party at the Pi Kappa Alpha fraternity house in DeKalb, about 60 miles west of Chicago.
Police say Bogenberger and other pledges drank large quantities of liquor over two hours.
So the deceased was 19, two years below the legal drinking age, also I assume he was a Freshman, which often is when young adults learn their drinking limitations, hopefully by older students keeping them out of trouble.
No idea if the house attempted cover this up by not getting him the medical attention he obviously needed.
I’ll just encourage you read the quote, and go back and read all of the comments leading to it. Essentially this is a question I asked Mike back when we were on more friendly terms, and his dark history was still unknown to me. “What would I need to show you to get you to change your mind on gun control?”
Mike has repeatedly stated that there is nothing that will sway him. Its a religion. This is a religion held by most anti-rights activists. Joan Peterson made it equally as clear.
Hell Mike just linked this video:
Debunked Joyce studies, and vigorous assertion is all this “Brian” brings to the table. He’s declared the pro-freedom side wrong BECAUSE THEY ARE WRONG! In their mind, no further proof is needed. They have blind faith that banning guns is good, and no matter what facts are presented, they will not belive that private ownership of firearms could EVER be good. Further no matter how spurious or unethical a study that comes up, they will cling to it like the flotsam of a sinking ship.
Now the purpose of this post is NOT about those anti-rights cultists, but about the big picture. The anti-rights cultists ARE useful, they’re good for oppositional research, seeing what might be coming down the pike for proposed laws, and to see what talking points they’re attempting to use to mislead the public. Its the work of people like Joan Peterson, as well as the usual suspects in the national legislature, as well as local gun-banners to see that blanket confiscation is their end goal, and through that “Universal background checks” are the first step in that grand scheme.
Still what will NEVER happen is getting them to change their mind. Life is not a Hollywood movie, and while Walt Kowalski from Gran Torino learned to overcome his racial bigotry and self-loathing on the silver screen. In real life Walt would have died alone in a hospital bed consumed with racial hatred.
They say “You can’t teach an old dog new tricks” for a reason. Cliches are mostly true things, and the same goes with these bigots.
Still not everybody who has a fear or hatred for freedom is a cultist. I should know, I used to be one of them. Still my desire to ban private guns was not a strong one, because I lacked the faith they have. So even though my conversion was in the early days of the internet, if it happened today I wouldn’t be running an anti-gun blog.
Think about it, did I start a pro-gun blog BEFORE I had examined countless quantum of data, and learned large amounts about guns and how they worked? No! While I had some remaining doubts, overall what got me to start publicly speaking about gun rights was my confidence that I was on the right track.
So while we have no ground to win with the common faces on gun control, there are countless people who are concerned about the issue who CAN be swayed. The big factor is they aren’t going to broadcast themselves in the open.
The battlefield for gun rights will not be on forums, or blogs, but at the water cooler, in the locker room, or around the dinner table.
We need to be out there! We’re pro-freedom, and we’re not ashamed of it. Also we need to understand that just because somebody may speak favorably for gun control does NOT mean they’re a cultist, and instead need to be given respect and patience…even when they won’t reciprocate the same to you.
Don’t get frustrated, if we were losing we’d be able to buy ammo, magazines, and guns right now!
Tonight’s topic is generally all the miserable misogyny that’s being floated by the anti-rights crowd.
Also we’ll be throwing all PC Pretense out the window with the call-in topic on inappropriate police targets. Have a look at these, and see if you can come up with something MORE inappropriate!
Call in at 9pm EST and join us for THE SQUIRREL REPORT!
Federal officials are blaming unsafe working conditions for the death of a San Francisco Veterans Affairs medical center researcher who died after he handled a rare strain of bacteria
The federal Occupational Safety and Health Administration on Wednesday issued a notice of “serious violations” to the medical center for the death last year of 25-year-old Richard Din.
OSHA says the VA failed to properly supervise and protect Din while he was developing a vaccine for the particular strain of meningitis that killed him.
In particular, OSHA says Din was working in an open area outside of a so-called biosafety cabinet. Those cabinets are enclosed, ventilated areas most researchers use when working with dangerous germs.
I work with Biosafety cabinets, and they are easy to misuse, as they rely on strong air currents to keep a sterile field. Still the risk factors in my line of work are considerably less than this situation.
Its sad that the VA is such a miserable system for treating those who have done so much for this nation.
