In more good news, Guatemala has joined the pro-life Geneva Declaration. From C-Fam:
The President of Guatemala has added his country to the Geneva Consensus Declaration despite ongoing attempts of the Biden administration to harm the historic international pro-life agreement initiated by the Trump administration.
“Every person has the right that their life be respected from the moment of conception until natural death,” said Guatemalan president Alejandro Giammattei.
In his address joining the declaration, Giammattei said attempts to declare abortion as an international right are “absurd and without any foundation in law, science or philosophy” and that abortion was in fact the “denial of authentic human rights.” He added that when international mechanisms try to impose obligations pertaining to abortion they engaged in unlawful “interference in the internal affairs of states.”

Atwood, a hero to progressives, is now facing the same backlash that Rowling did. It is a bit amusing to watch feminists get attacked for being feminist. The Left is eating itself.

For the thousandth time: If your kids are in public school, pull them out. Here’s a story from the Post Millennial revealing how Canadian schools hide the new “transgender identities” of children from their parents. These so-called educators introduce these ideas, cultivate them, bring them to fruition—and cut the parents out. It is incredibly dangerous.
