On Friday’s broadcast of MSNBC’s “Hallie Jackson Reports,” Rep. Ayanna Pressley (D-MA) said that we’re talking about outlawing abortion “in a country that does not have paid leave, that does not have child care, on the heels of a baby formula shortage.” Pressley stated that Vice President Kamala Harris’ reaction to the decision “gave voice to the anger, the sense of betrayal that everyone who values freedom, the constitutional right to health care — and abortion care is health care — is feeling at this moment. And that vulnerability will be disproportionately borne by our most marginalized. We know there is a black maternal morbidity crisis. This is an issue that Vice President Harris has led on. Black women are three to four times more likely to die in childbirth. We know that for those that do not have means to travel to safe haven states, that they will be left with no options. And so, this is a matter of life and death for our LGBTQ siblings, for the disabled, for low-income … [Read more...] about Pressley: We’re Talking about Outlawing Abortion ‘on the Heels of a Baby Formula Shortage’

Mum ‘fed up’ with neighbours who keep feeding birds – as one poos on her baby
An anonymous woman has become "fed up" with her neighbours because of their decision to continually feed birds that come into their garden - as one of the feathered animals pooed on her baby . The mum posted on Mumsnet to ask if she was wrong to be frustrated with her neighbours over the incident, as their decision to feed the birds has meant that more are attracted to their garden, and as a result, the chances of some bird poo landing on the mum's baby is higher. In her post , she wrote: "[My] neighbour [is] constantly throwing food out to [the] birds and now one s**t on my baby. A bird, not a neighbour for the last part. "Am I being unreasonable here? My neighbour constantly throws food out to the birds and anything goes. I’m fed up with it." She hates that her neighbour keeps feeding birds (stock photo) ( Image: Getty Images/iStockphoto) Get the news you want straight to your inbox. Sign up for a Mirror newsletter here.

Three-year-old missing for months found dead in mom’s basement freezer
A mother was arrested Friday after police discovered the decaying body of her 3-year-old son in her basement freezer. Police arrived at the home in the Monte Vista neighborhood of Detroit in the early morning, conducting a welfare check on the child following an investigation by Child Protective Services (CPS). Neighbors told authorities that some of them had not seen the boy in months, according to the Detroit Free Press . Despite protests from the 30-year-old mother, and attempts to get the officers to leave her home, the search was eventually carried out and the body of the boy, whose name has not been released to the public, was found. In a statement, Detroit Police Chief James White said that it is not yet known how long the body was kept in the freezer, but did confirm that it had begun to decompose. "Initially, the conversation [with the mother] was to just push the officers away as if there was nothing going on," White said. "But their intuition, their experience led … [Read more...] about Three-year-old missing for months found dead in mom’s basement freezer
‘Your Body Belongs to Christ’: US Anti-abortionists See Divine Hand in Court Ruling
Diana Villanueva’s rapist took her to an abortion clinic when she was just 16 years old and told her to terminate her pregnancy. She wasn’t greeted by the crowds of protestors who often gather outside facilities in the United States to try to persuade women to change their minds. But now, this 53-year-old Catholic wishes she had been — because she has been haunted by the termination ever since. “I was afraid that someone would see me because my mom was very involved in the church and I was afraid that somebody from church was going to be there,” she told AFP. “But then at the same time, I wish somebody would have been there, because maybe that would have given me the courage to speak out and say: ‘I don’t want to do this’.” Villanueva now runs a retreat in her native El Paso, Texas, helping women who, like her, regret their abortion. Devised by psychologist Theresa Burke and present in dozens of countries, “Rachel’s Vineyard” draws on biblical scripture and is described as … [Read more...] about ‘Your Body Belongs to Christ’: US Anti-abortionists See Divine Hand in Court Ruling
Antioxidants ‘boost male fertility’
Melbourne: Dietary antioxidants can boost male fertility - at least in crickets, say scientists. A new study by the University of Western Australia and Monash University has found a combination of antioxidants can provide the best weapon to boost the health of sperm in males, the 'Ecology Letters' journal reported. Lead scientist Leigh Simmons said highly reactive molecules, known as free radicals, were waste products of the cellular processes that fuel the body's activities. "These free radicals damage cells if they are not neutralised by antioxidants," he said. The scientists said sperm were known to be vulnerable to attack from free radicals, and the study has shown that the best defence against sperm damage was to take two antioxidants - Vitamin E and beta-carotene. Simmons said for most animals, it was typical for females to have the sperm of several males inside them at any given time, competing for the fertilisation of the eggs. "It is fair to say that the sperm are … [Read more...] about Antioxidants ‘boost male fertility’
Five Things First-time Parents Should Know
Being parents for the first time is no easy task as they are mostly unprepared for it and the surprises can be terrifying. New parents must understand the basics of parenting and curb some harmful habits for the sake of the child. Shared below are five such key suggestions for new mothers and fathers. Expect pain During natural childbirth, the baby has to be pushed out of the birth canal. This involves the muscles and tissues stretching, which causes stinging and cramping sensations known as labour pain. This is normal. Medications and exercises are available to reduce pain. Perineal massages Perineal muscles form the pelvic floor and are located between the genitalia and the rectum. To reduce the likelihood of perineum tear during childbirth, expecting mothers are advised to massage the perineum 1-2 times per week, 34 weeks into the pregnancy. The massage can be done by the pregnant woman herself or by her partner. Bonding with the baby The physical closeness between … [Read more...] about Five Things First-time Parents Should Know

Boris Johnson ‘planned to build £150,000 treehouse for son Wilf’ at Chequers
Boris Johnson planned to build a £150,000 treehouse for his son Wilf at Chequers, it has been reported. The prime minister and his wife Carrie wanted to build the treehouse during autumn 2020 but had to pull the plug after it raised security concerns. The treehouse's design included bulletproof glass but could be seen by the roadside, prompting police to warn the PM about the risks involved. There were discussions about having Lord Brownlow, a Tory donor ranked the 521st richest person in the UK last year, fund the project, with plans for the treehouse drawn up for the country retreat, it has been reported. Some No10 aides warned Mr Johnson against the project due to the cost and the matter of it being more expensive than some homes in many parts of the UK. Prime Minister Boris Johnson with Carrie, their son Wilfred and dog Dilyn “He was told it would look terrible,” a government source told The Times . The newspaper reports that it is unclear whether the Chequers … [Read more...] about Boris Johnson ‘planned to build £150,000 treehouse for son Wilf’ at Chequers

Nolte: Only the MAGA Movement Could’ve Ended the Atrocity of Roe v. Wade
If you consider yourself a pro-life Republican and weren’t on the Trump Train in 2016, sit your pansy-ass down. Had you and your precious “principles” won the day, Hillary Clinton would have appointed those three Supreme Court justices instead of Donald Trump, and the moral atrocity known as Roe v. Wade would still be a “constitutional right.” We see you out there pretending that’s not the case, and you look ridiculous. For decades, the Republican establishment ran around promising to overturn Roe, and for decades, they failed. And instead of Trump all-stars like Brett Kavanaugh and Amy Coney Barrett and Neil Gorsuch, we got Sandra Day O’Connor, Anthony Kennedy, John Roberts, and David Souter. Roe is dead for only one reason: the MAGA Movement. Without the MAGA Movement, there is no President Trump. Without a President Trump, there is no end to Roe . Elections matter, Never Trump. Elections matter, and despite constant warnings from the MAGA Movement that your … [Read more...] about Nolte: Only the MAGA Movement Could’ve Ended the Atrocity of Roe v. Wade
