Moms-to-be could soon be watching babies grow in the womb on a smartphone. Postage stamp-sized adhesive patches have been developed that provide imaging of the heart, lungs, and other organs. They will be connected to your smartphone device - producing clear and continuous pictures for 48 hours. While women could see their own fetuses, it would also improve the monitoring of cancer patients' tumors.

Let me be the first obstetrician to voice my concern for the unregulated passage of ultrasound energy through a developing fetus by lay personnel.

That's a step too far if you ask me. Why would they want to do that?

Posters #1 and 2 have voiced some downsides about this new technology. I think this will make the pro-aborts go insane, watch them try to ban pregnant WOMEN from using this.

I find this interesting on a number of levels. Seeing your baby's beating heart on your cell phone likely has at least a moderate correlation with the mom deciding to not a have an abortion - or perhaps staying off of drugs. As #1 has a valid concern, it is important to know the amount and form of energy the technology uses to generate signal and obtain an image and how that energy was measured. In recent years, some imaging and spectrographic technologies, like CT, back-scatter x-ray, nuclear quadrupole resonance, and millimeter wave have significantly reduced the amount of electromagnetic energy or ionizing radiation needed to produce a useful image. Such advances have been facilitated by better and cheaper computing power and the application of machine learning concepts, allowing more complex algorithm development and far better image reconstruction. Not all of the advances in imaging technology are medically related, although advances from fields like non-destructive testing, explosives and contraband detection, and container inspection for human smuggling may well be applied to medical imaging. Under the care of an OB-GYN, there may be little downside to a lay person imaging the baby and the upside may be worth some level of risk but hard data from under the hood is needed to fully to inform risk management decisions. It wasn't clear whether multiple patches (sensors) can be applied the skin to provide signal that can be develop into 3-D images but that would be useful, as there are likely far more medically sound applications for this technology besides fetal imaging.

The proaborts will fight to get this banned, because God forbid a woman actually see the baby developing within her. On the other hand, if they allege possible safety concerns, they will have to answer exactly who is being potentially harmed, and it ain’t the mother. But they’ll just throw out some wild and unproven “cancer risk,” and ACOG and AAP will crumble like the cowards and butchers that they are.

Over 10,000 Christians have signed an online petition this week condemning Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene's promotion of Christian nationalism, slamming the Georgia Republican for what they describe as a "betrayal of our faith." Speaking to the conservative Turning Point USA Student Action Summit in Florida last Saturday, Greene argued that Christian nationalism is "a good thing." "That's not a bad word," the congresswoman said. "That's actually a good thing. There's nothing wrong with leading with your faith....If we do not live our lives and vote like we are nationalists—caring about our country, and putting our country first

The first Biden administration press secretary, Jen Psaki, was snarky and dishonest but she wasn’t stupid. The same cannot be said about Karine Jean-Pierre. Jean-Pierre, who defines herself by her race, gender, and sexuality, rather than by her abilities (which is really sad when you think about it), is staggeringly bad at her job, daily exposing the vast chasm behind her eyes and between her ears. The latest example is her response when asked about why it’s fine for the administration to fly illegal aliens across America but not fine for Texas to send them to Biden’s and Jean-Pierre’s hometown of Washington D.C.

I have no idea where the video came from, but I think it’s worth noting because it seems to show that the Democrat party has so successfully racialized America in the last 15 years or so that we are beginning to live out Charles Manson’s “Helter Skelter” madness. Manson’s dream was to destroy society, so it’s up to us to recognize what’s going on and fight back against this almost apocalyptic racial division. The video is a simple one: Someone inside a busy urban venue (it seems like a coffee shop) is filming a brutal beatdown on the street outside. Two young Black men are attacking an older White man.

For 7 years, Never Trumpers have complained about his style. I haven't. I like it. He is combative. Pugilists throw punches. Wusses say, "Please clap." I can see why his style is off-putting. Conservatives are not used to elbows being out. They want Reagan the Grandfather. But we have Trump who is crazy as a fox. That's the reality. And the reality is a Reaganesque Trump would not work in today's political world. The shared experience of World War II is long gone. Elitists shun patriotism and their wannabes agree. Today's liberals respect no one, not even themselves. They run every institution in the United States, and they ruin every one.

Of all the uncertainties that college freshmen must face, none is more sensitive than the issue of roommates. (snip) If the Biden administration gets its way, schools could force biological female students to live with biological men who identify as women and vice versa. The Department of Education has proposed a new Title IX rule that demands that colleges treat students in line with their gender identity, not their biological sex. That means that people who identify as women would live with people who identify as women, and people who identify as men would live with people who identify as men.

A Federal appeals court on Thursday ruled that a Catholic high school has the right to end its employment of a teacher who entered into a same-sex union in violation of church teachings. The Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals ruled in Starkey v. Roncalli High School and Archdiocese of Indianapolis that religious schools have a constitutional right to choose who teaches their faith to the next generation. The appellate court asserted that Lynn Starkey's role as a guidance counselor included ministerial duties, a ministerial exception under the First Amendment allowed the school to not renew her contract.

The superintendent of Virginia-based Loudoun County Public Schools received a $28,000 pay raise despite his multiple failures to adequately inform parents about two sexual assaults, according to a local news outlet. Loudoun County Superintendent Scott Ziegler now makes a total salary of $323,000 alongside his $1,000 monthly vehicle allowance, according to WJLA. The Loudoun County School Board approved the pay raise per Ziegler’s 2021 contract. Ziegler’s contract permits hefty pay raises if the majority of school board members evaluate his performance as “proficient,” the local news outlet reported.

EXCLUSIVE: The top Republican on the House Judiciary Committee says new whistleblower disclosures allege FBI officials are pressuring agents to "reclassify" cases as "domestic violent extremism" in order to appease the Biden administration's push to focus on these cases. Rep. Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, sent a letter to FBI Director Chris Wray Wednesday after he says "brave whistleblowers" came forward with information about "disturbing conduct" at the agency. "From recent protected disclosures, we have learned that FBI officials are pressuring agents to reclassify cases as ‘domestic violent extremism’ even if the cases do not meet the criteria for such a classification," writes Jordan.

Jeanette Cooper, a mom in Chicago, has missed her daughter’s 13th, 14th, and 15th birthdays. She doesn’t get to be there as her daughter is learning to drive. In fact, she has only seen Sophia for eight and a half hours in the last three years. That’s because Cooper lost custody of her daughter after refusing to go along with Sophia’s belief that she is transgender. When Sophia was 12, Cooper went to pick her up from a custodial visit at her father’s house, but her daughter refused to come home.

Bruce Springsteen has been a wealthy man for a very long time. In 1973 he released his second album, The Wild, The Innocent, and the E Street Shuffle which featured the classic song, Rosalita. Toward the end of the song’s tale about budding romance and the reluctance of a young woman’s father to accept her suitor, Springsteen explains, “And the record company, Rosie, just gave me a big advance!” We bet they did Bruce. Just two years later, Springsteen burst into superstardom in 1975 with his blockbuster album Born to Run, which resulted in him being one of the first entertainers ever to be featured on

Joe Manchin went to bat for his reconciliation bill Sunday by doing something called the 'full Ginsburg' – meaning he went on all five major networks' morning shows over the weekend. The moderate Democratic senator from West Virginia appeared on CNN's State of the Union, Fox News Sunday, ABC's This Week program, CBS News' Face the Nation and NBC's Meet the Press. He is only the 31st major newsmaker to complete this feat. The message was similar across the board – that the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 will decrease inflation and not raise taxes on the average American household.

It seemed obvious that Joe Biden’s selection of Kamala Harris as his running mate was a bad idea. Of all the Black Women™ he could have chosen, how he landed on her is a question for the ages. Unless, of course, someone figured they needed someone so awful that she would make Joe Biden look better by comparison. I suppose that’s it. The Biden-Harris White House has had over 30 senior staffers jump ship — many from Kamala’s office. The latest is Michael Collins, Harris’s director of public engagement; he follows senior aides Meghan Groob and Rohini Kosoglu, who departed a few weeks prior. Groob was Kamala’s director of speechwriting; it’s
