GRAPHIC WARNING - Judge Kills Texas Sonogram Law

(AP) AUSTIN, Texas — A federal judge on Tuesday struck down key provision of Texas' new law requiring a doctor to perform a sonogram before an abortion, ruling that the measure violates the free speech rights of both doctors and patients.


The law — one of dozens of anti-abortion measures that advanced through state capitals across the United States this year — was set to take effect Thursday.

A New York-based reproductive rights group had sued to block the law.

U.S. District Judge Sam Sparks said in his ruling that requiring a doctor to show women images from the sonogram and the sounds of the fetal heartbeat violates the First Amendment rights of doctors.

The ruling also struck down a requirement that allows women to avoid seeing the sonogram images only if they sign a statement that they are pregnant because of sexual assault or incest. The state cannot compel a woman to disclose such private information that she may not even wish to tell police, Sparks ruled.

Sparks ruled such disclosure is an attempt by the state to "permanently brand women who choose to get an abortion."

Newt Gingrich, Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives wrote, "Jim paid the price of political defeat for insisting that elected officials uphold the Rule of Law. In loosing his race for re-election, Jim earned the respect of millions of Americans for his courage." During the mid-1990's Rogan kept copious notes during every significant meeting related to impeachment efforts of former President Clinton. Because of Rogan's background as a prosecutor and his reputation for respect among Republicans and Democrats, Rogan was selected to be one of the thirteen House managers in the historic impeachment trial. Come hear him share his contemporaneous notes and diaries, in which he recounts his experiences.

Many of the district's constituents opposed the impeachment of President Clinton. The Democrats made the defeat of Rogan a high priority in the Congressional race. Rogan's defeat in 2000, was then the most expensive House race in history.

Rogan is a judge of the Superior Court of California, a law professor, an author, and a former member of the United States House of Representatives. He was a Secretary of Commerce for intellectual Property, Director of the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, Calif. State Assembly Majority Leader, a judge of the California Municipal Court, a gang leader prosecutor with the L.A. County District Attorney's office and a civil litigator in private law practice.

SB 48 in a Nutshell

SB 48 will teach children as young as five to not only accept but also endorse transgenderism, bisexuality, and homosexuality through our social sciences curriculum including history, history books and instructional materials. The media and others call SB 48 the "Gay History Bill," however, SB 48 goes even further. The bill casts a wide-reaching net that includes all social sciences like economics, government, and cultural and social anthropology.

Furthermore, SB 48 ties the hands of teachers and administrators at the local level and often contradicts what students are taught at home. It also requires teachers and administrators to enter into the divisive debate over sexual orientation and morality and to portray only one side of that debate. Essentially teachers and administrators are being asked not to tolerate but to advocate.

Fullerton: Conclusions, Fear and Patience

By Allen Wilson (Scribe) on August 7th, 2011 for www.RedCounty.comRe-posted by the Fullerton Sentinel

People do not like to think. If one thinks, one must reach conclusions. Conclusions are not always pleasant. --Helen Keller
The community of Fullerton is shaken by fear because they have reached a litany of conclusions through media accounts of what transpired of that one fateful July evening that has cost the life of one of their residents, Kelly Thomas.

The offensive saga has brought city of 126,000 residents to its knees and began to ask questions repeatedly about the conduct of their very own Police Department whom are supposed "to serve and to protect".

In the interim, we can only pray for Kelly Thomas' family on their loss with knowledge that Kelly has passed through the gates and into heaven through peace.
 
Lets pray for the City of Fullerton so that they can get past this ugly chapter through healing and understanding.

Fullerton Councilmembers have a moral obligation and fiduciary duty through necessary steadfast leadership to heed the request of the community by unanimously demanding the Police Chief to step aside for the good of the community.

Leaders should be keenly aware that patience is now the public enemy number one in Fullerton.

The wonderful residents of Fullerton should live through harmony and without fear of retaliation of those employed by their very own Police Department whom are supposed to protect their community.

We could never learn to be brave and patient, if there were only joy in the world. --Helen Keller

The Face of Corruption

Fullerton City Council Member Pat McKinley was the City's Chief of Police from 1993 until 2009.  Under his supervision and command a great number of alleged and confirmed cases of police misconduct and corruption occurred. 

McKinley is responsible for hiring all six officers involved in the murder of Kelly Thomas. 

He interviewed each officer and approved all of their pay raises and promotions.

McKinley lead a department which fostered this corruption until he retired and was elected to the City Council where he continues to control the police department.

McKinley is a triple-dipper.  He is set to receive a retirement from the LAPD, Fullerton PD, and the Fullerton City Council.



DO NOT REWARD HIS CORRUPT LEADERSHIP. 

RECALL MCKINLEY!
