State Anti-Abortion Laws

The Republican war on women continues.

(SAN FRANCISCO, Calif.) - Alabama became the eleventh state to pass anti-abortion legislation. Now eleven of the 22 states with both a Republican governor and legislature have passed an anti-abortion law. I expect it to be eventually 22 of 22.

The Republicans know or should know that these laws are unconstitutional under the Supreme Court’s earlier decision in Roe v. Wade.

Is Scott M. Fishman, MD Responsible for Opioid Addictions and Deaths?

His "guide" aimed at State Medical Boards around the country became the holy grail to physicians in minimizing the dangers of addiction and death from prescribed opioids such as OxyContin.

(MYRTLE BEACH, SC) - Dr. Fishman has been relatively quiet since being named in a now sealed US Senate Finance Committee investigation as well as being sued throughout the country for his part in the opioid epidemic.

The complaint states that Purdue Pharma, maker of OxyContin, drafted and sponsored "Responsible Opioid Prescribing", a clinician guidebook produced by the Federation of State Medical Board (FSMB) and written by Scott M. Fishman, MD.

Think big.... dreams do come true!

Our motto is respect: for ourselves, for others, and for nature.

(OCCUPIED PALESTINE) - We just celebrated Easter in the Holy Land and we look with anticipation to Ramadan. While many of us are not religious, we do recognize the value of these “traditions” to social fabric in our society.

Tradition and culture actually has much more nuance and mix than meets the eye. Easter is Ishtar and fertility holiday and Passover is not a historical event but based on earlier mythologies of Gods and redemption.

Breaking the Grip of Militarism: The Story of Vieques

The fascinating story of how people unable to vote still ultimately earned a victory in our democracy.

(ALBANY, NY) - Vieques is a small Puerto Rican island with some 9,000 inhabitants. Fringed by palm trees and lovely beaches, it attracts substantial numbers of tourists.

In contrast, for about six decades, Vieques served as a bombing range, military training site, and storage depot for the U.S. Navy, until its outraged residents, driven to distraction, rescued their homeland from the grip of militarism.

Netanyahu Wins, Palestinians Lose

To this day, Israel has not defined its borders. Ever.

(SAN FRANCISCO, Calif.) - Despite three pending corruption charges, Benjamin Netanyahu won a fifth term as Israel’s prime minister.

During the campaign, he said he would annex Jewish settlements in the West Bank — land captured in 1967. This would firm up Israel's hold on them and will probably preclude any Palestinian state. Presently, there are more than 2.5 million Palestinians in the West Bank and severely blockades 2 million more in Gaza.

Automobile Insurance for Non US Citizens: Difficulties and Options

It is compulsory to have liability insurance in most U.S. states.

(SALEM, Ore.) - Everyone needs to get around. If you're visiting the United States, but not a U.S. citizen, you'll still need car insurance if you want to drive while in the USA.

How you'll to approach obtaining suitable coverage that is suitable is dependent upon how long you are likely to stay in the country, as well as the conditions of your stay.

The Assange Matter

“I know nothing about Wikileaks.” -Donald J. Trump [April 11, 2019]

(SAN FRANCISCO, Calif.) - At this point, I am not sympathetic about WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange's arrest in London after being evicted from the Ecuadoran Embassy after six years in exile. Assange allegedly collaborated with Russians to meddle in the 2016 U.S. presidential election.

Robert Mueller’s long-awaited report is clear that Russia interfered in the 2016 presidential election and sought to help Donald Trump win the White House.

Someone`s Child:
My Addict as written by a Forever Broken Mom

This speaks to every parent who has lost a loved one to the opioid/heroin epidemic, or is fighting for the life of a loved one

(MYRTLE BEACH, SC) - All day -- every day so many of these faces come over to me. We are losing a generation of beautiful, young people. Do you think it is time to stop idolizing the "wannabe rock star advocates" and work on prevention, education and treatment like your child's life depends on it? (Because it does)

Can a focus be put on "harm elimination" rather than "harm reduction?" Can the word "stigma" be unspoken and the word "outrage" be shouted that financial profit has overtaken saving human life?
