When democrats and celebrities give up their own security then we should think about banning guns.

Las Vegas shooting: Stephen Paddock 'spent decades hoarding guns and did NOT act alone'

STEPHEN Paddock could have spent more than 20 years plotting his devastating attack on innocent people in Las Vegas, police have revealed.

By VINCENT WOOD

Officials also believe Paddock may not have acted alone.

Sheriff Joseph Lombardo said: “At face value he had to have some help at some point and we want to ensure that that’s the answer

“Maybe he was a superhuman who figured this out all on his own but it would be hard for me to believe that.”

Police confirmed the shooter “meticulously” planned his strike on the Route 91 Harvest Festival from his vantage points in the Mandalay Hotel.

Officers, who are investigating the double life of the cold-blooded killer, believe he spent decades acquiring weapons and living a “secret life”.

Police also told a news conference that 317 of the 489 people injured in the Las Vegas shooting have been discharged from hospitals.

His former girlfriend Marilou Danley has confirmed she had no idea Paddock was going to carry out the deadliest mass shooting in modern US history.

GETTY

She arrived in the US yesterday and spoke to FBI officials after flying in from Manila after the attack.

Officials had been looking to speak to the 62-year-old to clear up the motives of Paddock, who wired his partner £75,500 ($100,000) before his attack.

Speaking through her lawyer, Ms Danley said: ”I loved him and hoped for a quiet future together with him.

“He never said anything to me or took any action that I was aware of, that I understood in any way to be a warning that something horrible like this was going to happen.

“A little more than two weeks ago, Stephen said he found a cheap ticket for me to the Philippines and that he wanted me to take a trip to see my family.


“Like all Filipinos abroad, I was excited to go home and see family and friends.

Vigils have been made for the victims of the slaughter

“While there, he wired me money which he said was for me to buy a house for me and my family.

“I was grateful, but honestly I was worried that first, the unexpected trip home and then the money, was a way of breaking up with me.

“It never occurred to me in any way whatsoever that he was planning violence against anyone.”

Las Vegas Strip shooter prescribed anti-anxiety drug in June

Stephen Paddock, who killed at least 58 people and wounded hundreds more in Las Vegas on Sunday with high-powered rifles, was prescribed an anti-anxiety drug in June that can lead to aggressive behavior, the Las Vegas Review-Journal has learned.

Records from the Nevada Prescription Monitoring Program obtained Tuesday show Paddock was prescribed 50 10-milligram diazepam tablets by Henderson physician Dr. Steven Winkler on June 21.

A woman who answered the phone at Winkler’s office would not make him available to answer questions and would neither confirm nor deny that Paddock was ever a patient.

Paddock purchased the drug — its brand name is Valium — without insurance at a Walgreens store in Reno on the same day it was prescribed. He was supposed to take one pill a day.

Diazepam is a sedative-hypnotic drug in the class of drugs known as benzodiazepines, which studies have shown can trigger aggressive behavior. Chronic use or abuse of sedatives such as diazepam can also trigger psychotic experiences, according to drugabuse.com.

A brief explanation of the timeline of the Las Vegas Mass Shooting at the Route 91 Country Music Festival.

‘They can become aggressive’

“If somebody has an underlying aggression problem and you sedate them with that drug, they can become aggressive,” said Dr. Mel Pohl, chief medical officer of the Las Vegas Recovery Center. “It can disinhibit an underlying emotional state. … It is much like what happens when you give alcohol to some people … they become aggressive instead of going to sleep.”

Pohl, who spoke to the Review-Journal from the Netherlands, said the effects of the drug also can be magnified by alcohol.

A 2015 study published in World Psychiatry of 960 Finnish adults and teens convicted of homicide showed that their odds of killing were 45 percent higher during time periods when they were on benzodiazepines.

A year earlier, the Australian and New Zealand Journal of Psychiatry published a study titled, “Benzodiazepine Use and Aggressive Behavior.” The authors wrote: “It appears that benzodiazepine use is moderately associated with subsequent aggressive behavior.”

A police dispatch call saying that one suspect is down on the 32nd floor on the Mandalay Bay in room 135.

Dr. Michael First, a clinical psychiatry professor at Columbia University and expert on benzodiazepines, said the Finnish study speaks for itself. But he also told the Review-Journal on Tuesday that he believes the drugs would be more likely to fuel impulsive aggression than premeditated behavior.

“What this man in Las Vegas did was very planned,” he noted, referring to reports that Paddock sneaked an arsenal of weapons into the Mandalay Bay and placed cameras inside and outside his room before launching his attack.

Why was it prescribed?

First said it would be important to discover why Paddock was prescribed the drug.

“That may have more to do with why he did what he did,” First said.

Video taken by Cori Langdon at Mandalay Bay when the shooting began at the Route 91 Country Music Festival.

The Nevada state monitoring report also noted that Winkler prescribed 50 10-milligram tablets of diazepam to Paddock in 2016. He also filled that prescription the day it was written, this time at Evergreen Drugs in Henderson. It was for two tablets a day.

Questions have long swirled around whether psychiatric drugs are linked to mass school shootings in the United States, though researchers have yet to find a definitive connections, despite several studies.

Critics of unscientific linkage in the news media and on social media between psychiatric drugs and violence say it stigmatizes those who benefit from their use. That, in turn, can make people quit using medications that can actually be lifesavers, they say.

On Monday, actress Kirstie Alley, best known for her role in the TV sitcom “Cheers,” stirred controversy by tweeting that guns and psychiatric drugs are the common denominators in recent mass shootings in the United States. She cited no evidence that Paddock has used the drugs.

One additional common denominator of "shooters" is USA's mass usage of psychiatric drugs. A % do have side effects of VIOLENCE & SUICIDE.

Senator Perdue: ‘We’re Working On’ Legal Immigration-Cutting Deal with Trump Administration

by JOHN BINDER

Sen. David Perdue (R-GA) confirmed to reporters that he and Sen. Tom Cotton (R-AR) are “working on” an immigration deal with President Trump’s administration that includes significant cuts to legal immigration in order to raise wages for American workers.

Following a meeting between the Trump administration and Senate Republicans that included Perdue, Cotton, and Sen. John Cornyn (R-TX), Perdue told Bloomberg that the President wants elements, if not all, of the legal immigration-cutting RAISE Act to be included in a deal in which 800,000 illegal aliens could receive amnesty.

Trump originally promised to end the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program, which gives work permits and temporary amnesty to illegal aliens, and he has done just that.

But, with the announcement of DACA ultimately ending, Trump has waffled on the issue, and his administration is now signaling a desire to give an amnesty to the hundreds of thousands illegal aliens currently shielded by DACA, running the risk of causing a massive surge at the U.S.-Mexico border, while also causing an uptick in chain migration to the U.S.

Perdue said the Trump administration, though, wants the RAISE Act to be included in any deal.

“That’s what we’re working on, absolutely,” Perdue said.

Under the RAISE Act, American workers in the middle and working-class would be relieved from less competition for jobs, as the legislation would:

• Cut legal immigration from about one million new immigrants every year to 500,000 per year

• Prioritize immediate family households, thus ending extended family chain migration to the U.S.

• Create a visa program for U.S. citizens to bring elderly parents to U.S. for caretaking purposes

• Eliminate the diversity visa lottery, where 50,000 visas are “arbitrarily allocated” every year

• Cap permanent U.S. refugees resettlement to 50,000 migrants per year

Cotton and Perdue, whose bill has been endorsed by Trump, have said the RAISE Act would reduce overall immigration in the first year by 41 percent, and in 10 years, immigration would be reduced to 50 percent, causing wages to rise and putting American workers back to work.

The RAISE Act is also incredibly popular with the American electorate. In a Morning Consult poll, as Breitbart News reported, 44 percent of American likely voters said they supported cutting legal immigration and switching to a merit-based legal immigration system. Another 24 percent declined to comment on the RAISE Act, indicating that the support for the bill could be even larger and more widespread.

Unsportsmanlike Conduct: Many NFL Protesters Have Lengthy Arrest Records

by WARNER TODD HUSTON

While NFL players who protest the anthem, cast themselves as upright crusaders for the rule of law and equality. The arrest statistics for the NFL paint a far different picture, of how a lot of these social justice warriors truly regard the rule of law.

Arrest statistics for the league show that an NFL player is arrested every seven days, on average, for crimes as varied as domestic abuse and rape, gun violations, drug offenses, disorderly conduct, burglary, breaking traffic laws, and occasionally even murder.

About three to four players are arrested every month according to Patrick Murphy at NFL Arrests, a website that tracks the NFL’s arrests and charges.

The site notes that since the year 2000, the longest the NFL went without an arrest has been 65 days. The site also notes, for instance, that a player was arrested seven days ago as of October 2.

Since 2000 there have been 218 drunk driving arrests, 100 drug offenses, 98 players arrested for domestic violence, and another 44 arrested for disorderly conduct.

The team with the most arrests and offenders is the Minnesota Vikings, according to Murphy’s database. The next four are the Denver Broncos, the Cincinnati Bengals, the Tennessee Titans, and the Jacksonville Jaguars falling in with the fifth most arrested players.

The total number of NFL arrests for 2017, stands at 32. Here is a list of the various offenses:

• Assault and battery – 7
• Drugs – 6
• DUI – 5
• Domestic violence – 5
• Disorderly conduct – 4
• Resisting arrest – 2
• Guns – 1
• License/traffic – 1
• Other – 1

The arrest breakdown by position is as follows:

• Wide receiver – 140
• Linebacker – 119
• Cornerback – 116
• Running back – 99
• Defensive tackle – 80

Many of the players who have knelt in protest during the anthem, have arrest records as well.

As week 4 began, over a dozen players took a knee for the playing of the anthem, over a dozen raised the militant black power fist, eight more stayed seated during the anthem, several entire teams linked arms, but stood, for the song, and one player refused to take the field. Only four of the 32 teams stood with no pretensions to protesting.

Here are some of the players who knelt or otherwise protested in Week 4, who have also been arrested:

• Baltimore Ravens Terrell Suggs for aggravated assault in March 2003 and leaving the scene of an accident and driving with a suspended license in March 2016
• Buffalo Bills Marcell Dareus was arrested for felony drug possession and reckless driving charges in two separate incidents in 2014
• Denver Broncos outside linebacker Von Miller, for failure to appear in court on previous traffic charges, including careless driving and driving without a license, in Aug. 2013 and driving with a suspended license in Sept. 2013
• Jacksonville Jaguars Dante Fowler for assault and battery in July of 2017 and March of 2016
• Kansas City Chiefs Demetrius Harris was arrested for felony marijuana possession in March 0f 2017
• New Orleans Saints Adrian Peterson was cited for injuring a child in 2014
• New Orleans Saints Alex Okafor  for evading arrest and fleeing the scene after police tried to apprehend him in March 2015
• Pittsburgh Steelers Artie Burns was taken in for driving with a suspended license in June of 2017
• Pittsburgh Steelers Le’Veon Bell was arrested for marijuana possession in 2014
• Seattle Seahawks Trevone Boykin for marijuana possession and probation violations in March 2017 and April 2017
• Tennessee Titans Derrick Morgan for speeding and driving with a suspended license in June 2010
• Ray Lewis, who knelt with his former teammates in Week 3, for murder in Jan. 2000; though, Lewis ended up testifying in the case and received one year of probation and a $250,000 fine from the NFL
• Seattle Seahawks Frank Clark for a domestic violence case in which he punched, choked, and slammed his girlfriend to the ground in-front of children.

It’s important to note, that these players represent only a fraction of all players with records, who have protested at some point this year. Given the rather extensive familiarity that protesting NFL players have with the police, its getting easier to understand why they want cops to have less power.

‘Class Act’: Taylor Swift Sends Flowers to Injured Police Officer after Vegas Shooting

by DANIEL NUSSBAUM

Pop star Taylor Swift sent bouquets of flowers to a Los Angeles-area police station after one of its officers was shot and injured during an attack at a Las Vegas country music festival on Sunday, according to one of the officers at the station.

LAPD intel analyst Kimberly Binder posted a photo to her Instagram account Tuesday showing one of the “smaller arrangements” that Swift had apparently sent to the station, the LAPD’s Foothill Community station in Pacoima, California.

“Talk about a class act!” Binder captioned the photo. “@taylorswift sent multiple bouquets of flowers and plants to our station, as one of our officers was shot in Las Vegas last night. This is one of the smaller arrangements. Beautiful flowers can bring a smile to anyone’s face. Much respect.”

According to ABC7, an officer at the Foothill Community station was injured Sunday night when she was shot in the knee at the Route 91 Harvest country music festival on the Las Vegas Strip. At least 59 people were killed and more than 500 injured when a gunman opened fire on concertgoers from a perch on the 32nd floor of the nearby Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino. At least one other California police officer was killed during the attack, while several Southern California police officers and firefighters were injured.

Social media users quickly flooded Binder’s Instagram post with positive comments about Swift’s gesture.

“A true role model,” one user wrote. “I love Taylor for her small acts of kindness.”

Swift was one of numerous celebrities who responded to Sunday’s attack, though most did so by taking to their own social media accounts to post reactions. Stars including actress Elizabeth Banks, hip-hop mogul Russell Simmons, and actor Jeffrey Wright used their social media account to call for increased gun control measures, while country music stars including Carrie Underwood, Reba McEntire and Miranda Lambert shared prayers for the victims and for Las Vegas.

The LAPD wrote on its Facebook page Monday that the Foothill officer injured in the attack was in stable condition and expected to make a full recovery.

Look How Much Illegal Immigration Really Costs – Dems Want This Hidden

Frank Spear

There have been rumblings of concern coming from many Americans about the impact of illegal immigration on the country. A new study is breaking the narrative that Democrats have been pushing for years.

Everyone has heard that illegal immigrants pay their fair share of taxes, so they deserve to be here. Let’s put aside the fact that they are breaking federal law by entering the country illegally and talk about whether the previous statement is true. According to the government watchdog group Judicial Watch, they discovered that illegal immigration ends up costing around $135 billion in American tax dollars per year. In contrast, the government only recoups $19 billion a year from illegal immigrant tax payments. Furthermore, the wall to protect our borders that President Trump wants to build would only cost $25 billion.  

This study completely demolishes the narrative that the Left has been telling us to just accept for years.

The study was done on the federal, state, and local programs. It revealed that between education, medical, law enforcement, and welfare, American taxpayers are being forced to foot the bill for $116 billion of the total $135 billion being used.

That $116 billion per year could go to good use around the country. We could start rebuilding the infrastructure, create jobs through cutting the tax rates which would encourage growth, and also put that money to use in underprivileged inner-city schools that are in need of assistance.

In the published report, it states that: “A continually growing population of illegal aliens, along with the federal government’s ineffective efforts to secure our borders, present significant national security and public safety threats to the United States.”

Seemingly, the suggestion is that due to the growing problem of illegal immigration, the US is hemorrhaging money and putting itself at risk. If one wants to see the effects of “open border policy” on safety, they need look no further than the terrorist attacks in Europe this year alone.

Sadly, if the Left had their way, that would be us. They won’t come out and say it honestly, but they completely support open borders. Sanctuary cities, if anything, prove that.

The report goes on to say that: “They also have a severely negative impact on the nation’s taxpayers at the local, state, and national levels. Illegal immigration costs Americans billions of dollars each year.”

Illegal immigration ends up costing around $135 billion in American tax dollars per year, while the government only recoups $19 billion a year from illegal immigrant tax payments. Should we commit to taking care of others when we struggle to take care of our own?

As you can see, this only goes to prove the previously mentioned numbers included in the report. We are all paying a good chunk of our taxes in support of people who have entered the country illegally.

It is understandable to want to leave your country if it is war-ravaged or all around desolate. But the fact is, there is a legal process to enter this country if you want to get away from that place and start a new life.

One of the rules of coming to the United States is that you have to respect the laws of this country. By passing the border illegally, it is already showing a disregard for our laws — which presents a cost and danger to every single American citizen.

LAS VEGAS GUNMAN WAS PRESCRIBED DRUG LINKED TO VIOLENT OUTBURSTS
Yet another mass shooter on pharmaceutical that causes aggressive behavior
Paul Joseph Watson

Las Vegas massacre gunman Stephen Paddock was taking a drug linked to violent outbursts in yet another example of a mass shooter being on a pharmaceutical medication that causes aggressive behavior.

According to the Las Vegas Review Journal, Paddock “was prescribed an anti-anxiety drug in June that can lead to aggressive behavior”.

The drug in question – diazepam – more commonly known as its brand name Valium – was prescribed by Henderson physician Dr. Steven Winkler on June 21 and Paddock purchased 50 10-milligram diazepam tablets from a Walgreens store in Reno on the same day. Paddock was also previously prescribed the same drug in 2016.

The article cites DrugAbuse.com, which warns that diazepam can trigger “aggressive behavior” and “psychotic experiences,” which can be amplified by alcohol consumption.

“If somebody has an underlying aggression problem and you sedate them with that drug, they can become aggressive,” said Dr. Mel Pohl, chief medical officer of the Las Vegas Recovery Center. “It can disinhibit an underlying emotional state. … It is much like what happens when you give alcohol to some people … they become aggressive instead of going to sleep.”

A 2015 study published in World Psychiatry found that teens convicted of homicide were 45 per cent more likely to kill during time periods when they were on benzodiazepines.

However, Dr. Michael First points out that Paddock’s attack was obviously premeditated, carefully planned, and could not have occurred on a whim, although he acknowledges the reason behind why Paddock was prescribed diazepam may explain “why he did what he did”.

As we previously highlighted, virtually every major mass shooter was taking some form of SSRI or other pharmaceutical drug at the time of their attack, including Columbine killer Eric Harris, ‘Batman’ shooter James Holmes, Charleston church shooter Dylann Roof and Sandy Hook gunman Adam Lanza.

As the website SSRI Stories profusely documents, there are literally hundreds of examples of mass shootings, murders and other violent episodes that have been committed by individuals on psychiatric drugs over the past three decades.

Pharmaceutical giants who produce drugs like Zoloft, Prozac and Paxil spend around $2.4 billion dollars a year on direct-to-consumer television advertising every year. By running negative stories about prescription drugs, networks risk losing tens of millions of dollars in ad revenue, which is undoubtedly one of the primary reasons why the connection is habitually downplayed or ignored entirely.

Victory for Faith! Court Says Cheerleaders Can Paint Bible Verses on Banners

BY BRISTOL PALIN

Todd Starnes has a great article this morning about a Court victory you will be happy to hear about.  Apparently, in Texas, some cheerleaders had the gall to paint a Bible verse on a banner for the football players to run through.  And, naturally, some left-wing nutcases weren’t happy about it. Just like clockwork, the Freedom From Religion Foundation  filed a complaint, and it went to the Court of Appeals for the Ninth District Court of Texas.

Here’s a photo of the “horribly offensive” banner:

Appeals court ruling in favor of Kountze cheerleaders could be last down in battle over banners http://ift.tt/2fNBHnr …

7:04 PM - Sep 28, 2017

But — surprise!  — the Court ruled in favor of the cheerleaders!  According to Starnes, they said, “the inspirational Bible verses painted on run-through banners are private speech.”  You think?

“We find the Cheerleaders’ speech on the pregame run-through banners cannot be characterized as government speech,” the court ruled.

In 2012 the school district had banned cheerleaders from writing Bible verses on run-through banners for the football team. That decision came after the notorious Freedom From Religion Foundation filed a complaint.

“This is another great victory for the free speech and religious liberty rights of all Texas students,” First Liberty Institute president Kelly Shackelford said. “Hopefully this ruling will bring clarity and closure to this issue for all Texas students and schools.”

This is a great development for faith and the First Amendment!  Ted Cruz spoke out in support of the cheerleaders.  “The First Amendment protects the religious liberty of every American,” he said. “I’m proud to side with the cheerleaders standing up for free expression of religion and the Bill of Rights.”

Way to go, ladies!

Las Vegas And The Power Of Good

Drew Angerer / Getty

By BEN SHAPIRO @benshapiro

This week, an evil human being murdered nearly 60 Americans and wounded more than 500 others in Las Vegas. His attack was well-planned: The shooter had some 23 guns in his hotel room, including a semi-automatic rifle affixed with a "bump stock" allowing the shooter to operate the rifle like an automatic weapon; he had another 19 guns in his home. Video of the incident is chilling: the rat-a-tat of the gun raining bullets down on unsuspecting innocents from the hulking profile of the Mandalay Bay on the horizon, the wounded concertgoers screaming in the darkness.

But there was heroism, too.

The stranger who threw his body atop Amy McAslin and Krystal Goddard to shield them from the rifle fire. "Just truly incredible," McAslin later said, "a stranger, jumping over me to protect me."

The off-duty nurse from Orange County who told local news that she ran back into the danger to help the wounded: "I'm a nurse and I just felt that I had to ... There was so many people, just normal citizens, doctors, cops, paramedics, nurses, just off duty. ... It was completely horrible, but it was absolutely amazing to see all those people come together."

The anonymous man who threw 18-year-old Addison Short over his shoulder and carried her to safety. The couple who pulled their truck over to carry the wounded to the hospital. The off-duty police using their own bodies to cover the vulnerable. The father who protected his children from gunfire, saying, "They're 20. I'm 53. I lived a good life." Jonathan Smith, a 30-year-old who reportedly saved up to 30 lives, taking a bullet to the neck in the process.

It took hundreds of heroes to save hundreds of people; it took one evil man to wound and kill that many.

On the one hand, it is impossible not to lament the extent of evil: A man attacking those who harmed him in no way, possibly gleefully murdering people attending a concert, makes us wonder at the rot that can infect the human heart. But on the other hand, in each incident of horror we must remember how much the good outweighed the evil. Were there hundreds of people like Stephen Paddock, thousands would have died; were there only one person attempting to stop the impact of Paddock's evil, thousands would have died.

All of which means that as we mourn the victims in Las Vegas, we must also celebrate the heroes. We should see the incident as proof of just how much light infuses America from its citizens — how many normal people run to help each other when evil strikes, when darkness threatens to divide us. So long as that light continues to unite us, America will emerge ready, as always, to fight that darkness.

Five Key Facts About Bump-Stock Devices

3385

AP/Allen Breed                                                                                  by AWR HAWKINS

With Democrat office holders and gun control proponents calling for a ban on bump-stock devices, Breitbart News thought it wise to describe exactly what they are, as well as what they do (and do not do).

Numerous reports—including one from the AP–confirm the presence of bump-stock devices in the Las Vegas attacker’s hotel room. These are legal devices that can be attached to a semiautomatic rifle to enable the person shooting the firearm to mimic automatic fire.

According to The Guardian, Senator Dianne Feinstein (D-CA) is now pushing a ban on the devices. And she is not alone. But do those calling for a ban really know what these devices do?

Here are five key facts about bump-stock devices:

1. ATF approved–Bump-stock devices do not change the action of the gun; they do not make the gun an automatic weapon. Rather, they allow the gun owner to mimic automatic fire in short bursts with variable consistency. This means the devices are categorized as an accessory rather than a conversion. Because of this, USA Today reports that they are ATF approved.
   
2. Other accessories will do the same thing–There are numerous ways a gun owner can make a semiautomatic rifle mimic automatic fire. There are special triggers, cranking devices, and other options, all of which are accessories rather than conversions.
   
3. “Bump-Stock” devices are for novelty, not accuracy–Bump-stock devices are not made for accuracy, but for the fun of mimicking automatic fire. Such devices tend to have a universal fit, which means an AR-15’s buffer tube can bobble back and forth inside the bump-stock while the firearm is being shot. These are not made to be precision instruments but novelties that gun owners can enjoy while out shooting at the range.
   
4. Machine guns are legal–Contrary to much of the reporting issued after the Las Vegas attack, actual machine guns are legal in the U.S.  Such firearms are extremely expensive–this is because legal machine guns are limited to those made before 1986–but they can certainly be purchased for legal use under federal law. It seems contrary to reality to ban devices that only mimic auto fire in a country where there are hundreds of thousands of privately-owned guns that really are automatic.
   
5. Typical leftist war on the poor–A ban on bump-stock devices takes away the $200 device poorer citizens can buy to at least pretend to be shooting the real machines they will never be able to afford.

House Passes Bill Banning Abortion at 20 Weeks
By Susan Jones Rep. Ann Wagner (R-Mo.) displays a sonogram of her first grandchild on Tuesday, Oct. 3, 2017. (Screen grab from C-SPAN)

(CNSNews.com) - The U.S. House of Representatives on Tuesday passed a bill protecting human life.

The Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act would ban abortions at 20 weeks. It passed the House on a vote of 237-189, with two Republicans voting no (Reps. Rodney Frelinghuysen of N.J.; Rep. Charlie Dent of Pa.) and three Democrats voting yes (Reps. Henry Cuellar of Texas, Daniel Lipinski of Ill., Collin Peterson of Minn.).

The bill amends the federal criminal code to make it a crime for any person to perform or attempt to perform an abortion if the probable post-fertilization age of the fetus is 20 weeks or more.

Violators are subject to criminal penalties including a fine, up to five years in prison, or both.

The bill provides exceptions for an abortion if it is necessary to save the life of the pregnant woman, or when the pregnancy is the result of rape or incest. This does not including psychological or emotional conditions;

The bill also says a woman who undergoes a prohibited abortion may not be prosecuted for violating or conspiring to violate the provisions of the bill.

Among the Republicans speaking in support of the bill was Rep. Ann Wagner of Missouri, who displayed an ultrasound image of her first grandchild, a girl, at 17 weeks:

Mr. Speaker, this child is a gift from God, a gift that we have far too often abandoned in this country.

We know that after three weeks, my granddaughter had a heartbeat. After seven weeks she began kicking her mother like any good Wagner child would. By week 12, she could suck her thumb. And at week 20, my granddaughter knew the sound of her mother's voice and could feel pain.

Mr. Speaker, I stand for life, from conception to natural death...and on behalf of my granddaughter I will continue to fight for the day when abortion is not only illegal, but it is unthinkable.

The Congressional Budget Office has estimated that the bill would save more than 2,000 lives each year.

“Each one of these lives is so utterly precious, and we’re not going to stop," said Rep. Steve King (R-Iowa).

"We’re going to defend every life that we can; we’re going to protect every life we can. We’re going to do the right thing that we can for the babies that we can save.”

King noted that the U.S. is one of seven nations that allow elective abortion after 20 weeks (along with North Korea, China, Vietnam, Singapore, Netherlands and Canada.)

King has sponsored legislation (The Heartbeat Protection Act) that would protect unborn babies from abortion as soon as a heartbeat is detected, well before the 20 week threshold in the bill that passed on Tuesday.

The Democrat Party issued a statement, blasting the bill as "nothing but another shameful attack on women's rights and public health."

"By restricting women’s access to safe and legal abortion, Republicans are depriving millions of women across the country of their fundamental right to make the health care decisions that are best for them and their families," said the statement attributed to Democrat National Committee CEO Jess O’Connell.

"Instead of systematically working to dismantle women’s health care and economic security, our representatives should be working to pass legislation that protects access to public health services and expands opportunities for women.

"While Donald Trump and Republicans steadfastly pursue their cruel and unconstitutional attack on women, Democrats will fight this disgraceful bill and continue to stand up for the rights of women across the country.”

G’ day…Ciao…
