Paul Marx, saw this crisis coming decades in advance: “Today, most people have been brainwashed to think our worst problem is over-population. In many parts of the world, though, the real problem is underpopulation, despite today’s over-copulation.”

The New Mexico Supreme Court has ruled against Lea and Roosevelt counties and the cities of Clovis and Hobbs, claiming their passage of pro-life ‘Sanctuary Cities for the Unborn‘ ordinances “exceeded their authority by enacting ordinances preempted by state law.”
However, despite the apparent loss, the decision has “thrilled” legal representatives of the Cities and Counties who passed the pro-life measures, as well as pro-life activists who supported the ordinances.

A letter is circulating among conservative leaders in Washington DC asking President Trump and the U.S. Congress to oppose a controversial new UN treaty that allows countries to de-criminalize AI-generated child pornography and also sexting by minors. This “eviscerates the strict standard to prosecute child pornography” currently in international law, “a standard based on over twenty years of federal and state law practice promoted internationally by the U.S. government,” the letter explains. The new treaty adopted by the General Assembly last month is open for signatures and will come into force if at least forty countries ratify it.
