(Anna Rose Layden via Getty Images) A Toledo surgical resident has had his medical license suspended after he allegedly forced a woman he impregnated to take abortion-inducing drugs. In pro-life circles around the state and around the country, this "horrific case" has reignited calls to end Biden-era policies that they claim lead to the proliferation and abuse of these drugs. Dr. Hassan-James Abbas, a surgical resident at the University of Toledo Medical Center, had his medical license suspended after allegedly forcing the woman he impregnated to take the drugs, which he reportedly ordered under his estranged wife's name. Ohio Right to Life Executive Director Carrie Snyder said in a press release that "If the allegations are true, this is attempted murder, plain and simple. "The Attorney General has full confidence in local…...

THE CENTER SQUARE'An energy worker advocacy group sent a letter to the Department of Homeland Security urging it to review whether climate advocate Greta Thunberg'along with others'should be allowed entry to the nation due to safety concerns arising after recent bannings she has faced elsewhere and the pattern of "disruption" that appears to follow her. Founder and executive director of energy group Power the Future Daniel Turner told The Center Square: "Secretary [Kristi] Noem and the Trump Administration are working tirelessly to keep America safe, and we urge them to take a hard look at whether agitators like Thunberg should be…...

Tell me, how do you reach across the aisle with people who want to see you dead and your children dead in your spouse's arms? How do you break bread with people who can know full well Jones' deadly desires and go, "I'm fine with that, I'll vote for him for attorney general? That makes for a tough pill for us to digest. But all is not lost. Who were the big winners last night?...

Read More The post Apathetic Administrators Are Endangering Much More Than Free Speech on Campus appeared first on The Daily Signal. As is often the case, you have to watch the videos to really get a true picture of what happened at University of California, Berkeley on Nov. 10. In the days that have transpired since the event, many newspaper accounts have made it sound like a tempest in a teapot, as if a couple of hotheads disrupted the otherwise quiet, if intense, protests at a Turning Point USA event on campus.No. The videos reveal, in fact, a slew of violence: smoke bombs and glass bottles flying, fights breaking out, angry students pushing back on…...

(Andrew Harnik via Getty Images) The self-appointed enforcers of "progressive" media indoctrination are satisfied that CBS hasn't yet changed the tone of "60 Minutes," which they call a "crown jewel" of the Dan Rather Network. Tom Jones at the Poynter Institute was pleased that Sunday's show still featured two "fair and factual" stories that criticized President Donald Trump. A "ban" in this case is normally in public school systems, not in wider society. You can find Atwood's craptastic books easily, and hand them to your kids. A "ban" is not always a ban, either. The American Library Association admits most book challenges fail to remove books from classroom or library shelves completely. But any book that is challenged is considered a…...

(Jose Perez/Bauer-Griffin/GC Images) The cultural stereotype of a Catholic nun is often very uptight'as in unmercifully swatting a child's knuckles with a ruler'but sometimes it's more violent. Nuns plot murders. This happened on the CBS crime drama/dramedy "Elsbeth" on Nov. 20. The main character, Elsbeth Tascioni, is a Chicago lawyer sent to New York City to enforce a federal consent decree with the New York Police Department. But every week, she's solving murders while she floats around in flamboyant outfits and a collection of large handbags. This might be inspired by the pop star Sabrina Carpenter, who flounced about in a tiny black dress and a cross necklace inside a Catholic church in Brooklyn for her…...

2+ week, 2+ hour ago (239+ words) Lorenzo Prieto / @LorenzoPrieto Lorenzo Prieto is a journalism fellow at The Daily Signal. Send an email to Lorenzo. Democrat Massachusetts Gov. Maura Healey is drawing fire from conservatives for appointing Giselle Byrd, a biological male transgender activist, as the new vice chair of the Massachusetts Commission on the Status of Women's Programming and Planning Committee. The appointment became effective Nov. 1. "Our state thought that when we threw God out of the public square, we would become more sophisticated and advanced. Instead, we bought a regressive lie [masquerading] as progressive truth. Massachusetts has rejected God's perfect design for marriage and sexuality. This is the sad result." Byrd, the executive director of the Theater Offensive in Boston and activist at several LGBT non-profits, was initially appointed in August. American journalist Megyn Kelly joined the criticism of Byrd's appointment, sarcastically writing on X,…...
