(CNSNews.com) – The Obama administration will meet its target of settling 10,000 Syrian refugees in the United States by the time fiscal year 2016 ends on September 30, Secretary of State John Kerry announced on Tuesday night.
Addressing an end-of-Ramadan Eid al-Fitr reception at the State Department, Kerry noted that the 10,000 figure would be a six-fold increase in Syrian refugee admissions from FY 2015.
In the wake of the Supreme Court decision that struck down abortion clinic regulations in Texas in Whole Woman's Health v. Hellerstedt, pro-choice activists all over the country are ecstatic. The law that obligated abortion clinics to ensure proper medical care to women in case of complications arising from an abortion, such as access to a hospital, was construed as hostile to women. The Texas regulations required doctors who perform abortions to have admitting privileges at nearby hospitals and forced clinics to meet hospital-like standards for outpatient surgery. Its opponents carried the day – while pretending to care for women.
There is much wrong with this logic, but public discourse these days seems devoid of reason altogether. It seems that the louder the screamers, the more people will agree. But, women, wake up! Indeed, this fight is about you and your position in the world. We are talking here about an issue that is much greater than you getting exactly what you want, exactly when you want it. This is about you recognizing the true power that lies within you. It's about mom power.
