::THE SLICE REPORT WITH MONA AUSTIN

  Democrats should take a look at their message on abortion; it is stressful to Black women The amount of political hubris the Democratic party has sprayed on Black women voters (including Black women themselves) after the reversal of Roe V. Wade is puzzling when you pause to think about it. Women's rights are "proverbially"on the ballot for mid-term elections, even though little to nothing can be done to chqnge thus in more than. half of the states in the nation. Let's examine the rationale... It is now a given that Black women register more voters and cast more votes collectively for Democrats, a party that is currently on life support. Based on this knowledge Democrats in talk news and at the White House have voiced their support and concern for Black women not having access to abortion. They are saying votes are needed in the more conservative states that are likely to hammer abortion restrictions and are relying on the FEARS of pro-abortion Black women. ...

American women are beginning to see the pay off of having elected the first woman to serve in the White House -- Vice President Kamala Harris.

Since Day One, the Trump Administration has sought to lift burdens on religious exercise for people of all faiths.  As the Supreme Court has previously stated, protecting the ability of people to worship and live according to the dictates of their conscience is part of “the best of our traditions.”  The Court’s decision today carries forward that noble tradition.  This Administration will continue...

buzzz worthy. . . Today, we mark the 43rd anniversary of the Supreme Court ruling in Roe v. Wade , which affirmed a woman’s freedom to make her own choices about her body and her health. The decision supports the broader principle that the government should not intrude on private decisions made between a woman and her doctor. As we commemorate this day, we also redouble our commitment to protecting these constitutional rights, including protecting a woman’s access to safe, affordable health care and her right to reproductive freedom from efforts to undermine or overturn them. In America, every single one of us deserves the rights, freedoms, and opportunities to fulfill our dreams.
