Wendy Davis: Abortion Rights Supporters Will Not Back Down In Texas

Texas Gov. Rick Perry (R) is calling a second special session of his state's legislature to pass a controversial bill limiting abortion rights in the state -- but the woman who spoiled his first go-around is not backing down.

Wendy Davis, the Democratic Texas state senator who foiled the anti-abortion rights bill SB 5 by mounting an epic 11-hour filibuster, pledged Sunday to fight on.

"For all that you have achieved in terms of your profile and your views, are you not just delaying the inevitable?" David Gregory asked Davis on "Meet the Press.""We will fight as we begin the session again on Monday," Davis responded. "I don't think that we'll concede that the battle is over. And even if this bill passes, obviously there will be other challenges to it going forward." Davis, who represents Fort Worth, also took another shot at comments from the governor, who targeted her for her own experience as a single teen mother. "My life story is something obviously that belongs to me very personally," Davis said. "I think some of the comments that he made really demean the high office that he holds.

WOMEN TRIED TO SELL HER 3 YEAR OLD ON CRAIGSLIST

A bicycle. An old jailbroken iPhone. Maybe used furniture. Some free dirt. Those are the type of things you expect to buy off Craigslist. You definitely don't expect a Mom to offer up her three-year-old son on the seedy but useful classifieds website. But that's just what Stephanie Redus did. She used Craiglist to get her son adopted by a new family.

The Craigslist ad stated:

Hi, I'm trying to adopt out my 3yr old son. I'm not in a good place in my life and don't feel like I can care for him properly but I don't know where to start. If you or know anyone who is interested in caring for him, please let me know. I'm a single mom and can't do this.

Thanks, Desperate.

Street children survive on porn & Men poking holes in condoms

Street children survive on porn, not food

In a dark and dingy room, the only thing visible is the blue flickering light from a television set as a dozen-odd boys, teens and below, watch with eyes riveted on the screen. 

"Ohs" and "ahs" are heard on occasion. At first it seems they are watching a Hindi film, but a closer look reveals they are hooked on to a porn movie.

The boys are runaways or vagabonds who beg at many of Delhi's crossroads or are rag-pickers.
According to child activists and NGOs working with these children, most of them are hooked to either porn movies or video games and spend most of their earnings on them, on occasions forgetting to eat.

                                                And Here Is Why ...................

Men poking holes in condoms to get women pregnant

From poking holes in condoms to stealing birth control pills, some men are doing it all to get their partners pregnant.

The sex trend is being called "reproductive coercion" by the doctors and new research suggests that it is not just young women involved in abusive relationships who are at risk as previously believe

ebecca Levenson of Futures Without Violence, which helps educate doctors about the unique form of abuse said that women have come to tell her that their partner took their IUD out or took her money so she is unable to buy birth control pills, the New York Daily News reported.

Glenn Greenwald: NSA Can Store A Billion Cell Phone Calls Every Day

Guardian journalist Glenn Greenwald says he has another big scoop about the National Security Agency's surveillance practices up his sleeve.

Speaking over Skype to the Socialism Conference in Chicago, Greenwald claimed that the NSA has the ability to store one billion phone calls each day.

Greenwald's reporting earlier this month sparked the scandal over NSA surveillance practices that is currently plaguing the Obama administration. The stories were based on classified documents leaked to him by former NSA contractor Edward Snowden, and Greenwald indicated Friday night that he's sitting on several more -- one of which he decided to talk about even though his story on it hasn't been public.

Women Are at the Table, So Now What?

Top Women in the World 

NEW YORK — The focus of feminism has long been on inclusion and equality: giving women access where they had been shut out, ensuring the same opportunities and rewards as for men. This focus can distract from a harder, pertinent question: How would everything in the world be different if the female half of humanity had not been more or less locked out of its design ?

It is a tricky subject. Many arguments for equality flow from the premise that gender differences have historically been overstated. To suggest that women have a distinct way of thinking is, in this view, to flirt with the kind of logic that held them down.And yet other arguments for equality suggest that limiting the diversity of any gathering curtails the range of life experiences and perspectives in the room, and results in narrower, dumber decisions. In this view, it is at least plausible to maintain that the way meetings are conducted, wars are waged, books are written — that these ways were influenced by the absence of those without a direct voice

Australian Army Chief Warns Service Members To Respect Women Or 'Get Out'

Lt. Gen David Morrison

Lt. Gen. David Morrison is not messing around.

Following allegations that a group of servicemen circulated emails degrading several female service members, the Australian army chief issued a stern warning to the military branch: Respect women, or "get out."

In a striking public service announcement posted on YouTube, Morrison addresses the allegations of "unacceptable behavior" and clarifies his stance on any action that is demeaning to women.

"Those who think that it is okay to behave in a way that demeans or exploits their colleagues have no place in this army," he says in the video. "On all operations, female soldiers and officers have proven themselves worthy of the best traditions of the Australian army. They are vital to us maintaing our capability now, and into the future."
