Planned Parenthood to Resume Abortions in Sheboygan County, Despite Pending Appeal

Planned Parenthood of Wisconsin is not waiting until the challenges to the state’s 1849 abortion law are settled to resume abortions in Sheboygan County. Planned Parenthood has begun booking appointments. “Being able to provide this essential care at another health center is important to the health and well-being of Wisconsin women and people across the gender spectrum who need care,” Tanya Atkinson, president and CEO of Planned Parenthood of Wisconsin said. Sheboygan is one of three cities in Wisconsin where women could get an abortion pre-Dobbs. Milwaukee and Madison were the others. Sheboygan is also where the challenge to the recent ruling that Wisconsin’s abortion ban doesn’t really ban abortions is coming from. District Attorney Joel Urmanski has already promised to challenge the ruling from a Dane County judge who declared that Wisconsin’s near-total ban on abortions doesn’t ban consensual abortions, and only applies to killing babies. Urmanski has not filed a case against a woman or a doctor seeking an abortion, and Atkinson said she’s confident he won’t be able to make that case. “We are very confident in our decision to resume services,” she said during a weekend interview on Milwaukee TV. Planned Parenthood has already resumed abortion services in Milwaukee and Madison. The DAs there went on record months ago, promising not to enforce the state’s abortion ban. “While we are grateful to be resuming medication abortion care at the Sheboygan Health Center, there is more to be done,” Atkinson said. “We will continue essential work to help protect and expand reproductive freedom in Wisconsin so that everyone who needs comprehensive reproductive health care in our state can get the nonjudgmental and compassionate care they deserve.” Urmanski has said he will take his challenge to the Dane County judge’s ruling all the way to the Wisconsin Supreme Court. That’s what almost everyone has expected since Janet Protasiewicz won the race for the high court back in April. https://www.wisconsinrightnow.com/planned-parenthood-to-resume-abortions-in-sheboygan-county-despite-pending-appeal/?feed_id=7056&_unique_id=658228222562b

Wauwatosa Tells City Workers to Avoid Red & Green Christmas Decorations

Image
The City of Wauwatosa has instructed city workers that they should avoid using red and green in public spaces to celebrate Christmas. Instead, top city officials are urging them to decorate counters with purple and blue instead. The email went out this week from Deputy City Administrator Melissa Cantarero Weiss. It also notes that City Administrator James Archambo is on board with the instructions. In it, she urged city workers to embrace “inclusive decorating practices” and make Wauwatosa’s municipal buildings a “place that everyone can feel comfortable visiting throughout the holiday season.” City workers were urged to “opt for more neutral and inclusive decorations.” We received the email from multiple sources who questioned why Wauwatosa was making this a priority when the city has far more pressing issues. Even the White House doesn't go that far ; after all there is a National Christmas Tree. [caption id="attachment_155412" align="alignleft" wid...

The Coast Guard Academy’s Newest DEI Push

Image
By Michael R. Shevock DEI is a bad idea. It is divisive, racist, and anti-meritocratic. Coleman Hughes , Ayaan Hirsi Ali , Elon Musk , and a host of other first-rate minds have vigorously come out against it.  Yet, our Coast Guard leadership continues to promote it without discussion or debate. For an objective observer, that should be the first clue that something is very, very wrong. Supporters of this ideology are fond of the term ‘cultural competence,’ which they seem to believe is obtainable in a seminar or a classroom, but there are other paths to knowledge. For example, I enjoyed twenty-eight years in federal law enforcement, which, among other things, afforded me familiarity with the inside of a crack-house. Here are are some things I learned first-hand: (1) Underclass black America is indeed suffering unacceptable levels of violence and generational poverty; (2) Malcolm X was absolutely correct when he identified white liberals as an impediment to the progr...

[caption id="attachment_161199" align="alignleft" width="225"] Thomas Routt Jr[/caption] Thomas Routt Jr. 57, was named by his story to WTMJ-TV, but the attorney says he denies wrongdoing. So far, police have not confirmed the name, although they revealed on Monday that a person of interest is in custody. The Weingarts were both found shot to death inside the Sports Page Barr in Elkhorn in a crime that has shocked the community. Now it turns out the person police have in custody is on the streets because Evers' appointee decided to free him.   Thomas Routt Jr. Paroled in 2020 Corrections' records confirm that Routt was released in August 2020 on parole. A press release from Gov. Evers said that John Tate, his controversial appointee to run ...
