GDP Script/ Top Stories for February 20th Publish Date: February 20th From the BG AD Group Studio Welcome to the Gwinnett Daily Post Podcast. Today is Thursday, February 20th and Happy birthday to I’m Keith Ippolito and here are your top stories presented by KIA Mall of Georgia. Gwinnett government opts out of statewide homestead exemption Investigators seize 23 kilograms of meth during raids in Gwinnett Jackson EMC Foundation awards $80K to agencies serving Gwinnett County residents Plus, Leah McGrath from Ingles Markets on seed oil All of this and more is coming up on the Gwinnett Daily Post podcast, and if you are looking for community news, we encourage you to listen daily and subscribe! Break 1: 07.14.22 KIA MOG STORY 1: Gwinnett government opts out of statewide homestead exemption Gwinnett County commissioners unanimously opted out of a new statewide floating homestead exemption tied to inflation, arguing their existing Value Offset Exemption (VOE) offers better savings. The VOE freezes taxable property values at the level when a homeowner first claimed the exemption, unlike the statewide version, which adjusts annually for inflation. County officials highlighted that the VOE has kept county taxes stable despite rising property values. The school system, which accounts for two-thirds of property tax bills, will hold hearings Thursday to decide whether to opt out as well. Residents can attend at 11 a.m. or 6 p.m. in Suwanee. STORY 2: Investigators seize 23 kilograms of meth during raids in Gwinnett Six people, including a mother and daughter, were arrested during raids on two methamphetamine operations in Gwinnett County on Feb. 12. The Gwinnett County Sheriff’s Office, working with the Gwinnett Metro Task Force and FBI Atlanta, seized 23 kilograms of methamphetamine and over $6,000 in cash from locations in Lilburn and Norcross. Charges ranged from trafficking methamphetamine to possession and obstruction of law enforcement. The Sheriff’s Office praised the collaborative efforts to enhance community safety. STORY 3: Jackson EMC Foundation awards $80K to agencies serving Gwinnett County residents The Jackson EMC Foundation awarded $99,890 in grants, with $80,000 benefiting Gwinnett County organizations. Recipients include Hebron Community Health Center and Hope Clinic for medical and mental health services, The Salvation Army for housing assistance, and Home Repairs Ministries for critical home repairs. Other grants supported virtual healthcare access, therapy for abuse survivors, and literacy promotion. Funded by the Operation Round Up program, which rounds members' electric bills to the nearest dollar, the initiative has provided over $21.5 million in community grants since 2005. Applications for grants are open to individuals and organizations in Jackson EMC’s 10-county service area. We have opportunities for sponsors to get great engagement on these shows. Call 770.874.3200 for more info. We’ll be right back Break 2: RINGLING BROS_FINAL STORY 4: Georgia Supreme Court raises concerns about 2019 child custody law The Georgia Supreme Court raised concerns about the 2019 Equitable Caregiver law, which allows non-legal parents to seek custody or visitation if they’ve had a parental role and bond with a child. In the case of *Dias v. Boone*, the court reversed a lower court's decision granting Abby Boone caregiver status over Michelle Dias’s child, ruling the law didn’t apply since Boone’s relationship with the child predated the law. While the justices questioned the law’s impact on parental rights, they did not strike it down, instead issuing a narrow ruling specific to this case. STORY 5: Gwinnett Technical College Names New Vice President of Economic Development Gwinnett Technical College has named Lauren Dodson as its new Vice President of Economic Development. With over 15 years of experience in sciences and education, Dodson will oversee economic development, customized training, Quick Start, and continuing education services to address workforce needs. Her background includes roles at Partnership Gwinnett, Georgia EMC, and the Technology Association of Georgia, as well as teaching science in Gwinnett County Public Schools. Gwinnett Tech President Dr. D. Glen Cannon praised her contributions to the community and technology sector, calling her a perfect fit for the role. Dodson holds advanced degrees in education and lives in Tucker with her family.

Julie Burkhart, President of Wellspring Health Access, one of the organizations behind the Wyoming District Court Case who last June successfully blocked a Wyoming law from going into effect that would have banned abortion medication in the state – released the following statement responding to a Louisiana bill lawmakers approved today that would make the state the first to categorize mifepristone and misoprostol as controlled dangerous substances, criminalizing possession of the two abortion medications: “It is appalling that Louisiana lawmakers have approved a bill recategorizing Mifepristone and Misoprostol as controlled substances in the state, especially given both drugs are used safely by hundreds of thousands of women each year to terminate their pregnancies. It is now one step closer to dangerously becoming law. “Additionally, these drugs are not illicit or addictive drugs, and have other medical uses. The passage of this amendment to reclassify these two safe medications as controlled substances, on the level of heroin and methamphetamine, will have a chilling effect on doctors, patients and undoubtedly adversely impact maternal health outcomes in Louisiana. “Instead of pushing to criminalize those who are helping people access safe, legal medication abortion, the state legislature should instead focus on pressing issues that would actually benefit the well-being of those they swear an oath to represent.” Julie Burkhart is a national abortion rights leader, former senior advisor to slain Wichita-abortion provider Dr. George Tiller, and the only person in the country who has opened an abortion clinic in a state where it had been banned.Ms. Burkhart is currently the president of Wellspring Health Access which has a clinic in Casper, Wyoming and co-owner of Hope Clinic in Granite City, Illinois, a nationally trusted leader in abortion services since 1974. Burkhart is regularly called on by national and local media to offer insight into the debate, including this recent New York Times profile piece about the Casper, WY clinic, and also a new short documentary of the Wellspring Health Access clinic and its operations.

Watch an episode, and then listen to us! We are now on Series 5 - the Christmas episode!As Christmas 1962 approaches, Sister Julienne gets a call from the Hope Clinic, a mission hospital in South Africa, in danger of closure due to understaffing on the eve of a much-needed polio vaccination programme. Along with a group of midwives, the Turners, Fred and Tom, she arrives at the clinic to assist its lone medic, Myra Fitzsimmons, and they are shocked by the lack of supplies and the rudimentary conditions, with Phyllis delivering a baby under a tree in the desert.

Chief Medical Officer Dr. Colleen McNicholas is instrumental in running two Planned Parenthood facilities - one in a banned abortion state, Missouri, and the other in a protected abortion state, Illinois. She joins Ali to provide the picture of what abortion care has come to after the U.S Supreme Court announced the Dobbs decision in June stating that abortion is no longer a protected constitutional right. They talk about the monumental demand abortion care facilities are seeing as millions of people around the country living in banned states, but needing this important healthcare, are scrambling when time is of the essence. They also talk about how her Illinois team is finding innovative ways to close the distance gap with its new mobile abortion clinic, what the next generation of doctors will be and the proper way to talk about women's health and reproduction rights: say ABORTION. It is not a dirty word. [*recorded 10/14/22] If you have questions or guest suggestions, Ali would love to hear from you. Call or text her at (323) 364-6356. Or email go-ask-ali-podcast-at-gmail.com.

HEADLINE 1: Contamination in Springfield's groundwater, and Missouri knew for Decades - STLPRAn investigation by the Midwest Newsroom and St. Louis Public Radio has found that the Missouri Department of Natural Resources and the company Litton Systems, a former defense contractor that had employed thousands of people in Springfield to make circuit boards for the Navy and telecommunications industry, knew as early as 1993 that contamination beyond the company's property into the surrounding community “had undoubtedly occurred,”. Litton used a toxic solvent called trichloroethylene (TCE) to wash the circuit boards and for years improperly disposed of it. The pollutant leached into the groundwater and into aquifers deep below the ground. It then spread to nearby properties, where it made its way into wells that supplied water to those who lived and worked near Litton. A review of thousands of pages of government records and interviews found that DNR employees raised concerns about the contamination and implored the agency to force Litton to investigate further. But in the years that followed, neither the company nor DNR sought to determine the extent of the problem or alert the public about the potential risks, our examination found. Instead, both relied on a remediation system to remove the TCE, a measure that the government later determined did not work to effectively contain the contamination.The problem was not broadly known in Springfield until TCE was detected and publicized in 2018 at Fantastic Caverns, a tourist destination about five miles north of the former Litton site. As a result, some people bought property without knowing that they would be exposed to a chemical linked to cancer and other medical conditions. Others are left wondering how long they've been drinking and bathing in water tainted with TCE. And people are upset that an agency tasked with protecting the environment did not do more to warn the public about the risks of contamination. When you hear a story like this there's a lot of anger and frustration to be had. The carelessness of Litton cannot be overstated, but we have come to expect a company to hide in the shadows on issues like this. The thing that hits me hard is the fact that the DNR failed to adequately do its job, and there should be consequences. It may be tempting to point to the failure of the DNR as an example of how government doesn't work, but take a step back and realize without that governmental body, this would have NEVER come to light. Yes, it functioned poorly, but that can be fixed and hopefully better handled in the future. Leave it to private enterprise and we never find out.HEADLINE 2: Joplin, MO woman left helpless with non-viable pregnancy - Springfield News-LeaderAt 6:30 a.m. on August 2, nearly 18 weeks into her pregnancy, Mylissa Farmer experienced what doctors call a preterm premature rupture of membranes — her water broke before labor, followed by vaginal bleeding, abdominal pressure and cramping.She went to Freeman Hospital in Joplin, where she'd been just the day before. Everything had been normal then. She and her boyfriend, Matthew McNeill, had already picked out a name for their daughter: Maeve.But the doctors had devastating news for them on Aug. 2.If Maeve was delivered right then, chances of survival at 17 weeks and 5 days were zero, according to the assessment and plan section of Farmer's medical records outlining the visit. And the outcome wasn't much better if they tried to hold off on delivery.The doctors recommended terminating the pregnancy, but 39 days after the state of Missouri banned abortions, that wasn't an option, at least not in Missouri.A year ago, the hospital could have offered a chance for the couple to say goodbye and hold their daughter, even though they knew she wouldn't survive outside the womb.Instead, Farmer and McNeill were left to make a series of trips across three states and countless phone calls.The couple wanted to be able to grieve the loss of their daughter, not sit at home or in a hospital "with a baby dying inside me," Farmer said."I know it sounds horrible, but we just wanted to finish the process," she said. In the end, Farmer didn't just lose Maeve; she lost her friends and her trust that Missouri would allow medical professionals to do their jobs."It was hard. You could tell the doctors were trying to tell us what we needed to do, but at the same time, trying to protect themselves. We're not angry with them," Farmer said.If her vitals plummeted or infection set in, or the fetus' cardiac activity stopped, the doctors could intervene, but not before then.At 41, Farmer worried that by the time there was an emergency, it would be too late for both her and Maeve. And even if Farmer did live through it, she worried about what her recovery would be like. She was already at "risks of maternal thrombosis given her history of (deep vein thrombosis during a COVID-19 infection), infection/sepsis, severe blood loss, hysterotomy, hysterectomy and even mortality," according to the medical record.Farmer then did something she, who describes herself as "pretty pro-life" and Christian, never thought she would do: She began to look for abortion clinics.Farmer and McNeill set out for Granite City, Illinois. Early in the morning on Aug. 5, Farmer began to have back pain while on their way to the place just 15 minutes outside of St. Louis. When she got to HOPE Clinic, she was in labor.After the fact, Farmer said it was almost reassuring that the labor came on. Friends in Joplin who knew of the situation had been telling her that she "could give birth at 17 weeks, that they knew people who have done it, that I was killing my child.""It did my heart good to know I was doing the right thing," she said, as if her body was telling her that it was OK.But still, the experience was harrowing. Protesters in front of the clinic echoed the things her friends had told her, "saying we were killing our baby and that we were evil.""It was awful, you know? We were just going through so much. We didn't want this ... but at the same time, we had no choice," Farmer said.Since their ordeal, Farmer has lost trust. While she still feels her obstetrician at Freeman Hospital in Joplin is a good doctor, she's worried about whether medical professionals in Missouri will be able to offer patients necessary care.Despite reaching out to various legislators, she has yet to receive an answer that satisfies her: Why is this law written this way? If it's to protect women, why did she have to be in danger before she could get care in-state? Why is it such a binary law?"The world is too nuanced to put such strict rules in place," Farmer said.HEADLINE 3: Supreme Court Considers Pork Producers' Plea - The InterceptOn Tuesday, oral arguments will begin in National Pork Producers Council v. Ross, a case in which the pork industry is challenging the constitutionality of a California law regulating the worst cruelties of mass meat and egg production. The pork producers are arguing that California's law ends up forcing them to change their procedures outside California's borders at significant cost.If the justices rule on the side of the pork producers, it will be only the latest case to expose the illusion of so-called states' rights that conservative legal forces have spent 200 years pushing on the public.There would also be widespread implications: Ruling in favor of industry would set yet another grim precedent, potentially curtailing the ability of states to enforce progressive industry regulations and protections. Everything from state laws on workers' rights to environmental standards to further animal welfare issues could be challenged. Meanwhile, there could be another layer of irony: With the court's provenselective federalism, we can be sure that any such precedent would be no barrier to conservative states enacting laws with economic consequences far beyond their state lines in future.THE LAW IN question at the Supreme Court this week is California's Prop 12, passed through a resounding 2018 ballot victory. The law bans the sale in California of meat and eggs from animals raised in extreme and brutal confinement, including in gestation crates where pregnant pigs are held, barely able to move, for most of their lives.Such confinement has been condemned by all major animal welfare and veterinary organizations, and has been deemed a “profound danger to food and public health,” given the rife spread of disease, according to a brief written by the American Public Health Association and the Infectious Diseases Society of America, among others, for the case.The pork producers contend that the law creates unconstitutional constraint on their business, as farmers in other states must change their practices to abide by Prop 12's standards if they hope to sell pork in the nation's most populous state and since most of the pork consumed in California is indeed produced out of state, and that the state is a market too big for major producers to forego, there's little doubt that the Californian regulations would indeed affect interstate practices. It's not a foregone conclusion that a majority of justices will side with the National Pork Producers Council. Both conservative justices Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito have, from an originalist stance, previously criticized the dormant commerce clause. And, of course, all six of the court's right-wing justices have ruled in favor of state laws that have significant economic effects on the lives of those outside those states — such is the nature of living in an entangled national body politic. Just ask the abortion clinics now overwhelmed by out-of-state travel. Yet we should never underestimate the conservative majority's pro-business bent, and its unabashed desire to quash any and all liberation struggles — be they for human or nonhuman lives.If the pork producers succeed in overthrowing Prop 12, many millions of animals will continue to live and die in the most appalling suffering. The message will be sent too that when big business wants to challenge democratically passed state laws, they have several right-wing Supreme Court justices — those storied defenders of states' rights — on their side.This situation on the Federal scale reminds me immediately of Missouri's own quashing of local politics. The Missouri GOP claims to be the protector of local politics but when CAFOs in Missouri began polluting groundwater the State told counties they couldn't enact regulations locally to hinder big business. It's certainly evident the Right favors big government when it serves them. LIGHTNING ROUND:LR 1 - Lone Candidate shows up for Missouri's 3rd - News TribuneOnly one candidate was present for the News Tribune's election forum Tuesday night, but two issues emerged to dominate the discussion: the nation's response to the COVID-19 pandemic and federal student loan forgiveness. Bethany Mann, agricultural scientist and the Democratic challenger for Missouri's 3rd Congressional District, said the pandemic is ongoing and that student loan forgiveness isn't the ultimate solution to skyrocketing higher education costs, but a good policy nonetheless. Mann states that The country's student loan system is predatory, because it traps financially inexperienced young people into accumulating mass amounts of debt they don't know they can repay. The real issue is a lack of regulation on the banking industry, she said. Mann said more corporate regulations can insulate consumers from market shocks."We need to fix the root cause and not penalize people for trying to make a better life for themselves," she said.As far as Blaine Luetktemeyer, he couldn't be bothered to show up to the conversation.LR 2 - Kansas ranks among the worst in the country on both mental illness and its treatment - NPRA new report by Mental Health America tracking mental illness and the ease of accessing care found high rates of addiction among young people and mental illness and suicidal thoughts among adults put Kansas in last place.The report, based largely on data from 2019 and 2020, found 9% of Kansas youth had a substance use disorder, more than any other state. Over a quarter of adults had a mental illness and over 6% had serious thoughts of suicide, both well above national averages. In part, that's because the state doesn't have enough psychiatrists, therapists and other mental health care workers to go around. Compared with a national rate of one provider for every 350 people, Kansas only had one for every 470 people — and experts say the shortfall is particularly dire in rural areas. Kansas also got low marks on insurance rates and the ability to afford mental health care.Around 18% of adults with mental illness in Kansas had no insurance, compared with 11% nationwide. And only around 7% of youths with severe depression received consistent treatment for it, compared to 28% nationwide.LR 3 - Commission recommends salary increases to address Missouri teacher shortage - Missouri IndependentA state commission Tuesday laid out its recommendations to improve teacher recruitment and retention in Missouri, including a push to raise starting salaries that currently rank among the lowest in the nation. The State Board of Education approved the commission's nine recommendations and pledged to bring the findings to the public and lawmakers. Nearly 8% of available full-time teaching positions in the school year 2020-2021 were vacant or filled by not fully qualified individuals, according to the report. One of the commission's immediate recommendations was for the legislature to amend the state's base teacher salary, which is currently set by state law at $25,000 for a beginning teacher, to “at least $38,000” and to conduct annual reviews of the starting salary level.According to the National Education Association's review from earlier this year, Missouri's average teacher starting salary ranks second-to-last in the nation, at $33,234, higher only than Montana. At a public hearing in August, educators recounted taking on second jobs to get by.Per the Report, the legislature should also establish a state fund to help local school districts pay more competitive salaries overall, the report recommended. The average teachers salary in Missouri ranks 47th in the nation, at $51,557, according to the National Education Association. It's good to see that last bit tacked on, the focus on teacher pay in Missouri almost always centers on starting pay, which… is admittedly terrible, but we want to retain teachers too. A pay bump for every teacher in Missouri is way overdue.LR 4 - Will the next Farm Bill be climate friendly? Depends on the Midterms - Mother JonesThis year's midterm elections will decide the direction of a massive legislative package meant to tackle the nation's agricultural problems. Ahead of the November elections, House Republicans have already released insight into their priorities for this upcoming legislation. The Republican Study Committee, whose members make up 80 percent of all Republican members of Congress, released its draft budget in July. This draft document outlines a plan that completely defunds federal programs that support conservation efforts, as well as slashes federal food stamp and crop insurance programs. As Farm Bill debates continue, a group of over 150 progressive, agriculture, and environmental groups, from the nation's largest federation of labor unions to the Sierra Club environmental group, have urged President Joe Biden to add climate reforms in the upcoming legislative package. In a letter to Biden, organizations urged the President to pass a Farm Bill that would help mend economic and racial divides in the industry, increase access to nutrition, support fair labor conditions in farming communities labor conditions, as well as tackle the climate crisis with a focus on agriculture. LR 5 - Kansas Republicans downplay abortion in legislative races. Some change campaign sites - Kansas City StarMike Pence recently tweeted out “I've got news for President Biden. Come January 22nd, we will have Pro-Life majorities in the House and Senate and we'll be taking the cause of the right to Life to every state house in America!” Which sounds a little funny when hearing reports of Multiple Kansas House GOP candidates removing anti-abortion material from their campaign sites in the wake of voters' rejection of the constitutional amendment in August. We keep seeing this play out, the Republicans, the proverbial dog in this idiom, have caught the car on Abortion and frankly don't know exactly how to move forward. Hopefully a full blown referendum is coming down the pipe in November!
HEADLINE 1: Contamination in Springfield's groundwater, and Missouri knew for Decades - STLPRAn investigation by the Midwest Newsroom and St. Louis Public Radio has found that the Missouri Department of Natural Resources and the company Litton Systems, a former defense contractor that had employed thousands of people in Springfield to make circuit boards for the Navy and telecommunications industry, knew as early as 1993 that contamination beyond the company's property into the surrounding community “had undoubtedly occurred,”. Litton used a toxic solvent called trichloroethylene (TCE) to wash the circuit boards and for years improperly disposed of it. The pollutant leached into the groundwater and into aquifers deep below the ground. It then spread to nearby properties, where it made its way into wells that supplied water to those who lived and worked near Litton. A review of thousands of pages of government records and interviews found that DNR employees raised concerns about the contamination and implored the agency to force Litton to investigate further. But in the years that followed, neither the company nor DNR sought to determine the extent of the problem or alert the public about the potential risks, our examination found. Instead, both relied on a remediation system to remove the TCE, a measure that the government later determined did not work to effectively contain the contamination.The problem was not broadly known in Springfield until TCE was detected and publicized in 2018 at Fantastic Caverns, a tourist destination about five miles north of the former Litton site. As a result, some people bought property without knowing that they would be exposed to a chemical linked to cancer and other medical conditions. Others are left wondering how long they've been drinking and bathing in water tainted with TCE. And people are upset that an agency tasked with protecting the environment did not do more to warn the public about the risks of contamination. When you hear a story like this there's a lot of anger and frustration to be had. The carelessness of Litton cannot be overstated, but we have come to expect a company to hide in the shadows on issues like this. The thing that hits me hard is the fact that the DNR failed to adequately do its job, and there should be consequences. It may be tempting to point to the failure of the DNR as an example of how government doesn't work, but take a step back and realize without that governmental body, this would have NEVER come to light. Yes, it functioned poorly, but that can be fixed and hopefully better handled in the future. Leave it to private enterprise and we never find out.HEADLINE 2: Joplin, MO woman left helpless with non-viable pregnancy - Springfield News-LeaderAt 6:30 a.m. on August 2, nearly 18 weeks into her pregnancy, Mylissa Farmer experienced what doctors call a preterm premature rupture of membranes — her water broke before labor, followed by vaginal bleeding, abdominal pressure and cramping.She went to Freeman Hospital in Joplin, where she'd been just the day before. Everything had been normal then. She and her boyfriend, Matthew McNeill, had already picked out a name for their daughter: Maeve.But the doctors had devastating news for them on Aug. 2.If Maeve was delivered right then, chances of survival at 17 weeks and 5 days were zero, according to the assessment and plan section of Farmer's medical records outlining the visit. And the outcome wasn't much better if they tried to hold off on delivery.The doctors recommended terminating the pregnancy, but 39 days after the state of Missouri banned abortions, that wasn't an option, at least not in Missouri.A year ago, the hospital could have offered a chance for the couple to say goodbye and hold their daughter, even though they knew she wouldn't survive outside the womb.Instead, Farmer and McNeill were left to make a series of trips across three states and countless phone calls.The couple wanted to be able to grieve the loss of their daughter, not sit at home or in a hospital "with a baby dying inside me," Farmer said."I know it sounds horrible, but we just wanted to finish the process," she said. In the end, Farmer didn't just lose Maeve; she lost her friends and her trust that Missouri would allow medical professionals to do their jobs."It was hard. You could tell the doctors were trying to tell us what we needed to do, but at the same time, trying to protect themselves. We're not angry with them," Farmer said.If her vitals plummeted or infection set in, or the fetus' cardiac activity stopped, the doctors could intervene, but not before then.At 41, Farmer worried that by the time there was an emergency, it would be too late for both her and Maeve. And even if Farmer did live through it, she worried about what her recovery would be like. She was already at "risks of maternal thrombosis given her history of (deep vein thrombosis during a COVID-19 infection), infection/sepsis, severe blood loss, hysterotomy, hysterectomy and even mortality," according to the medical record.Farmer then did something she, who describes herself as "pretty pro-life" and Christian, never thought she would do: She began to look for abortion clinics.Farmer and McNeill set out for Granite City, Illinois. Early in the morning on Aug. 5, Farmer began to have back pain while on their way to the place just 15 minutes outside of St. Louis. When she got to HOPE Clinic, she was in labor.After the fact, Farmer said it was almost reassuring that the labor came on. Friends in Joplin who knew of the situation had been telling her that she "could give birth at 17 weeks, that they knew people who have done it, that I was killing my child.""It did my heart good to know I was doing the right thing," she said, as if her body was telling her that it was OK.But still, the experience was harrowing. Protesters in front of the clinic echoed the things her friends had told her, "saying we were killing our baby and that we were evil.""It was awful, you know? We were just going through so much. We didn't want this ... but at the same time, we had no choice," Farmer said.Since their ordeal, Farmer has lost trust. While she still feels her obstetrician at Freeman Hospital in Joplin is a good doctor, she's worried about whether medical professionals in Missouri will be able to offer patients necessary care.Despite reaching out to various legislators, she has yet to receive an answer that satisfies her: Why is this law written this way? If it's to protect women, why did she have to be in danger before she could get care in-state? Why is it such a binary law?"The world is too nuanced to put such strict rules in place," Farmer said.HEADLINE 3: Supreme Court Considers Pork Producers' Plea - The InterceptOn Tuesday, oral arguments will begin in National Pork Producers Council v. Ross, a case in which the pork industry is challenging the constitutionality of a California law regulating the worst cruelties of mass meat and egg production. The pork producers are arguing that California's law ends up forcing them to change their procedures outside California's borders at significant cost.If the justices rule on the side of the pork producers, it will be only the latest case to expose the illusion of so-called states' rights that conservative legal forces have spent 200 years pushing on the public.There would also be widespread implications: Ruling in favor of industry would set yet another grim precedent, potentially curtailing the ability of states to enforce progressive industry regulations and protections. Everything from state laws on workers' rights to environmental standards to further animal welfare issues could be challenged. Meanwhile, there could be another layer of irony: With the court's provenselective federalism, we can be sure that any such precedent would be no barrier to conservative states enacting laws with economic consequences far beyond their state lines in future.THE LAW IN question at the Supreme Court this week is California's Prop 12, passed through a resounding 2018 ballot victory. The law bans the sale in California of meat and eggs from animals raised in extreme and brutal confinement, including in gestation crates where pregnant pigs are held, barely able to move, for most of their lives.Such confinement has been condemned by all major animal welfare and veterinary organizations, and has been deemed a “profound danger to food and public health,” given the rife spread of disease, according to a brief written by the American Public Health Association and the Infectious Diseases Society of America, among others, for the case.The pork producers contend that the law creates unconstitutional constraint on their business, as farmers in other states must change their practices to abide by Prop 12's standards if they hope to sell pork in the nation's most populous state and since most of the pork consumed in California is indeed produced out of state, and that the state is a market too big for major producers to forego, there's little doubt that the Californian regulations would indeed affect interstate practices. It's not a foregone conclusion that a majority of justices will side with the National Pork Producers Council. Both conservative justices Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito have, from an originalist stance, previously criticized the dormant commerce clause. And, of course, all six of the court's right-wing justices have ruled in favor of state laws that have significant economic effects on the lives of those outside those states — such is the nature of living in an entangled national body politic. Just ask the abortion clinics now overwhelmed by out-of-state travel. Yet we should never underestimate the conservative majority's pro-business bent, and its unabashed desire to quash any and all liberation struggles — be they for human or nonhuman lives.If the pork producers succeed in overthrowing Prop 12, many millions of animals will continue to live and die in the most appalling suffering. The message will be sent too that when big business wants to challenge democratically passed state laws, they have several right-wing Supreme Court justices — those storied defenders of states' rights — on their side.This situation on the Federal scale reminds me immediately of Missouri's own quashing of local politics. The Missouri GOP claims to be the protector of local politics but when CAFOs in Missouri began polluting groundwater the State told counties they couldn't enact regulations locally to hinder big business. It's certainly evident the Right favors big government when it serves them. LIGHTNING ROUND:LR 1 - Lone Candidate shows up for Missouri's 3rd - News TribuneOnly one candidate was present for the News Tribune's election forum Tuesday night, but two issues emerged to dominate the discussion: the nation's response to the COVID-19 pandemic and federal student loan forgiveness. Bethany Mann, agricultural scientist and the Democratic challenger for Missouri's 3rd Congressional District, said the pandemic is ongoing and that student loan forgiveness isn't the ultimate solution to skyrocketing higher education costs, but a good policy nonetheless. Mann states that The country's student loan system is predatory, because it traps financially inexperienced young people into accumulating mass amounts of debt they don't know they can repay. The real issue is a lack of regulation on the banking industry, she said. Mann said more corporate regulations can insulate consumers from market shocks."We need to fix the root cause and not penalize people for trying to make a better life for themselves," she said.As far as Blaine Luetktemeyer, he couldn't be bothered to show up to the conversation.LR 2 - Kansas ranks among the worst in the country on both mental illness and its treatment - NPRA new report by Mental Health America tracking mental illness and the ease of accessing care found high rates of addiction among young people and mental illness and suicidal thoughts among adults put Kansas in last place.The report, based largely on data from 2019 and 2020, found 9% of Kansas youth had a substance use disorder, more than any other state. Over a quarter of adults had a mental illness and over 6% had serious thoughts of suicide, both well above national averages. In part, that's because the state doesn't have enough psychiatrists, therapists and other mental health care workers to go around. Compared with a national rate of one provider for every 350 people, Kansas only had one for every 470 people — and experts say the shortfall is particularly dire in rural areas. Kansas also got low marks on insurance rates and the ability to afford mental health care.Around 18% of adults with mental illness in Kansas had no insurance, compared with 11% nationwide. And only around 7% of youths with severe depression received consistent treatment for it, compared to 28% nationwide.LR 3 - Commission recommends salary increases to address Missouri teacher shortage - Missouri IndependentA state commission Tuesday laid out its recommendations to improve teacher recruitment and retention in Missouri, including a push to raise starting salaries that currently rank among the lowest in the nation. The State Board of Education approved the commission's nine recommendations and pledged to bring the findings to the public and lawmakers. Nearly 8% of available full-time teaching positions in the school year 2020-2021 were vacant or filled by not fully qualified individuals, according to the report.

In today's News: Court hears arguments for praying coach Yesterday, The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit again heard oral argument in the case of Coach Joe Kennedy, the longtime Bremerton, Washington, football coach who was fired after the 2015 season because he took a knee in brief, personal prayer after football games. First Liberty Institute and others collectively represent Kennedy. In January 2019, the Supreme Court of the United States declined to review the case at that time and instead allowed Coach Kennedy’s case to continue through the court system. In a separate statement written by Justice Alito and joined by Justices Thomas, Gorsuch and Kavanaugh, the justices explained that the Court needed more information in order to resolve the matter. As Alito wrote, “The Ninth Circuit’s understanding of the free speech rights of public school teachers is troubling and may justify review in the future.” The case then returned to the district court for further review where, in January, 2020, U.S. District Court Judge Ronald Leighton granted the Bremerton school district’s motion for summary judgment. Kennedy’s attorneys then appealed to the Ninth Circuit. Texas’ abortion ban thrown out The United States Supreme Court has reversed a lower court decision that upheld a temporary ban on most abortions in Texas, asking the appellate court to dismiss the case as moot. The Supreme Court granted the petition of Planned Parenthood and other abortion clinics to reverse a ruling from the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals that upheld an executive order from Texas Gov. Greg Abbott banning most abortions in an effort to free up hospital space for coronavirus patients. The Fifth Circuit's ruling itself reversed a judge's ruling at the district court level. Abbott's executive order came in March, 2020, a time when most U.S. states had implemented shutdowns of varying intensity in an effort to curb the spread of the coronavirus. Pro-life views termed ‘violence’ In a recent trend, abortion activists have been declaring the at espousing pro-life views is “violence.” One example came on the 48th anniversary of Roe v. Wade, as President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris released a joint statement celebrating the “landmark ruling.” The statement lamented the “relentless and extreme attack” of the previous administration on “reproductive health, including the right to choose,” and they pledged to appoint Roe-friendly judges and to codify the ruling into federal law. Tennessee Gov. Bill Lee responded to Harris’ tweet linking the statement with his own tweet pointing out “abortion isn’t healthcare.” In a subsequent tweet, he urged followers to support Hope Clinic, a pregnancy resource center that staffs OB/GYNS and nurses and offers a variety of health services. In response, Francie Hunt, executive director of Tennessee Advocates for Planned Parenthood, an affiliate of Planned Parenthood Action, falsely claimed that the governor’s tweet could lead to violence. “political violence is a real danger in this country, and when the governor implies that abortion is something other than life-saving health care, it puts us all in danger,” she asserted.
Find peace and healing after abortion.
Difficult Conversations -Lessons I learned as an ICU Physician
My Journey into Medicine with Michelle AtwellWelcome to Difficult Conversations- Lessons I Learned as an ICU Physician with Dr. Anthony Orsini. Over the years, I have found that healthcare providers who are genuine and able to relate to their patients through their own life experiences, are able to provide the best care, especially during difficult times. Today, I am honored to have as my guest, Michelle Atwell, a mother who managed the diagnosis of the life-threatening illnesses to her daughter and son, and today, is a Physician Assistant at a major healthcare system in Orlando, Florida. When Michelle lost her first child and only daughter, she was driven to invest her grief in the care and cure of other patients battling similar afflictions. She began volunteering with Shepherd’s Hope Clinic, first as a member of the general volunteer staff, and today as a licensed healthcare provider. She in the middle of publishing a contributing article to an upcoming medical genetics textbook and is the winner of the 2017 Nova Southeastern University PA Program Gold Standard Award. As always, Dr. Orsini keeps his promise about two things, that you will feel inspired, and you will have learned valuable lessons to be a better and more compassionate communicator. Michelle tells us about her journey and the conversations she had with all the medical professionals during her daughter. She shares a specific story of a bad conversation she had with the neurosurgeon about the seriousness of her daughter’s diagnosis and how her life changed forever. Michelle tells us about an uncomfortable incident that happened with an oncologist and some student residents speaking to her daughter as if she was a “specimen.” We learn about a team of doctors at Duke that made her feel that she and her daughter were in good hands. She also tells us about a special doctor at Duke, who showed extreme compassion and stayed with her the whole time. She put all her trust in him. After her daughter passed away in 2003, Michelle tells us how she stayed home for a month, but then decided to go back to her job full time at the bank and go to school full time to stay busy and maintain some normalcy in her life. We learn about the birth of her son in 2005, what happened to him right after his birth, and the doctor who gave her the bad news. Thankfully her son survived, and even though life was looking good after going through some horrible experiences, Michelle decided to see a therapist. We find out what led her to her big career change into medicine, We end with Michelle telling us how she uses the experiences of losing a child while taking care of her patients, how it’s impacted her, and she shares some inspiring advice.

In today's News: Local abortion facility injures two women An abortion facility near the Illinois-Missouri border injured two women within just days of each other, the latest in a disturbing string of seemingly botched abortions and dangerous behavior. According to Operation Rescue, the first emergency took place on Oct. 15th at the Hope Clinic for Women in Granite City, Ill. Instead of being transported to The Gateway Regional Medical Center Hospital Emergency Room across the street, the injured woman was loaded into an ambulance, which took her to an unknown location. The second emergency took place just two days later on Oct. 17th, but this time, no ambulance was called. Instead, abortion facility staffers pushed the patient across a busy street in a wheelchair to the Gateway Emergency Room. The Hope Clinic for Women has previously been cited for numerous health violations, including failure to prevent potential cross-contamination and infection, as well as a lack of properly working equipment. Abortionist surrenders license A California abortionist who was responsible for hospitalizing six women with life-threatening complications within a nine-month period of time in 2017, has entered an agreement to surrender his medical license, effective today. Donald Clyde Willis was employed at the FPA Women’s Health abortion facility in Bakersfield, Calif., at the time of the abortion-related emergencies. Operation Rescue filed a formal complaint with the California Medical Board against Willis on Oct. 3, 2017 — the same day that the sixth medical emergency took place. An Operation Rescue staff member was interviewed by a medical board investigator regarding the case, which led to a formal accusation against Willis related to three of the injured women. Willis agreed to surrender his California medical license to avoid expensive disciplinary action. New Jersey faces religious liberty suit Attorneys from the Thomas More Society have filed an emergency application for an injunction pending appellate review from the United States Supreme Court in a federal religious liberty lawsuit against New Jersey Gov. Philip Murphy. On Nov. 19, the not-for-profit national public interest law firm filed the application with Justice Samuel Alito on behalf of The Rev. Kevin Robinson, a Catholic parish priest, and Rabbi Yisrael Knopfler, leader of an orthodox Jewish synagogue, who are suing Murphy and his administration for discriminatory abuses of religious freedom in their handling of the COVID-19 pandemic. The application alleges that New Jersey’s COVID-19 restrictions limiting houses of worship to 25 percent of capacity or a numerical cap, whichever is less, while imposing less restrictive limits on secular activities that evidently pose the same or greater risk of viral transmission, violates Robinson and Knopfler’s rights to the free exercise of religion and free speech and assembly.

In today's News: City council rejects abortion facilities request An Illinois city council rejected a request last week to approve the construction of a fence around an abortion facility to prevent pro-lifers from reaching out to women with information, support and prayer. The St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports the Granite City Council of Aldermen narrowly rejected the request in a 5-5 vote with Mayor Ed Hagnauer casting the tie-breaking sixth vote against it. The request came from the Hope Clinic, an abortion facility near the border of Missouri. Around since 1974, it advertises abortions up to 24 weeks, unborn babies are viable outside the womb around 22 weeks now. The abortion facility also tells women how to get Illinois taxpayers to pay for their abortions through Medicaid. Undercover journalist files an appeal Liberty Counsel has filed an appeal to the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals of the verdict in the multi-million dollar civil lawsuit against Sandra Merritt for her undercover investigation of Planned Parenthood’s trafficking of human baby body parts. From the beginning, the court severely restricted the evidence, and at the end gave instructions to the jury telling them how they should rule on critical issues. The jury decided in favor of the abortion giant on each count and awarded more than $2 million in damages. The case was heard by San Francisco’s U.S. District Court Judge William Orrick III, who is the founder of the Good Samaritan Family Resource Center that houses the Planned Parenthood of Northern California facility in its complex. In 2017, the defense requested that Orrick recuse himself from the case and he refused. Liberty Counsel’s chief litigation counsel Horatio Mihet said, “With the filing of this appeal, Sandra Merritt is one step closer to obtaining the justice that she was denied in the trial court. We are looking forward to the appeal and remain confident that planned parenthood’s legal maneuvering and cover up for its misdeeds will ultimately fail.” Colorado to vote on late-term abortions Ballot Proposition 115, if supported by a majority of Colorado voters, would prohibit abortions after 22 weeks of pregnancy when unborn babies are viable outside the womb. Exceptions would be allowed if the mother’s life is in danger. Currently, Colorado is one of a few states that allows unborn babies to be aborted for any reason up to birth, and late-term abortionists there openly advertise abortions in the third trimester.

Stephen and Shirley are my parents! This interview is self serving in nature. As I approach parenthood myself (expecting twins in August), I had a number of questions I wanted to ask my parents and figured a podcast interview would be a fun way to document how I was raised. Shirley was a school teacher before marrying Stephen and then spent most of her time raising five children. She worked for years at the Utah State Senate and currently donates her time managing the volunteer effort at the Hope Clinic, a free clinic for people without insurance. Stephen worked as an Emergency Room physician for 40 years and also currently spends a day a week at the Hope Clinic. In their free time they enjoy gardening and spending time with their grandchildren. www.utahhopeclinic.org

Dr. Elliot Shin immigrated with his family from South Korea to United States at age eleven without knowing any English, even the alphabet. Since then, he has been blessed with many opportunities and experiences that have uniquely allowed him to understand the challenges that disadvantaged populations face and have been involved in providing comprehensive solutions to empower them.After graduating from Rutgers University as a Henry Rutgers Scholar in 1991, he obtained a master's degree in Nuclear Physics at Rosalind Franklin University of Health Sciences/The Chicago Medical School where he also received his medical degree in 2000. Then he completed his residency training in 2003 at In His Image Family Practice Residency Program where he was also ordained as a medical missionary.His work with the disadvantaged population originally started during college years after a powerful encounter with a homeless lady who gave him a kiss on the cheek as a gratitude for a sandwich he gave her. Over the years, the homeless people became his friends and family who prayed and supported him through the rigorous medical training. He is now simply returning the favor to not only the homeless but to other populations in similar situations.After two decades of his mission work in inner-cities and overseas, he founded Operation H.O.P.E., Inc. (Helping Other People Everywhere) in October of 2009 to invite the public to join with him in providing comprehensive solutions to these populations such as the homeless, orphans/foster children, inner-city youth, seniors, prostitutes, prisoners, poor and suppressed people worldwide. Operation H.O.P.E. provides innovative programs to equip, transform, and empower these individuals to become leaders in their own family and community.Since its opening in February of 2010, with generous support and partnership of City Impact Center, HOPE Medical and Dental Clinic, a subsidiary of Operation H.O.P.E., Inc., has seen over thousand uninsured low-income patients rendering $200,000 worth of service with only part-time hours with caring volunteer staff. It has quickly grown to three clinics in Las Vegas area with fourth clinic soon to open housing three dental operatories and two specialty clinic rooms. One of the distinguishing feature of the clinic includes “pay-it-forward” program where patients are required to return the favor by helping others in need with acts of kindness at least three times. Then they are supposed to ask the recipients of their service to do the same so that the selfless acts of kindness continues in the community exponentially. This program is intended to remove patients from self-entitlement mentality, restore dignity, exercise their own gifts and talents, and promote sense of community.What separates us from other clinics are two things:1) pay-it-forward program where our patients are required to return the favor with three acts of kindness. This has been a life-changing opportunity for our patients and those they help.2) after prayer, unbelievable miraculous healing that have been on-going continuously in the last six years including cancers, diabetes, kidney failures, thyroid cures, lupus cure, stroke paralysis, broken shoulder, sciatica, chronic ulcers.. the list is exhaustive. I have blood work, before and after pictures, MRI's, other specialists verifying these miracles.This show is part of the Spreaker Prime Network, if you are interested in advertising on this podcast, contact us at https://www.spreaker.com/show/1198501/advertisement
Persistent pain and the fight to end female genital mutilation. Over 100,000 women in the UK have been affected by female genital mutilation (FGM) with devastating long-term consequences including persistent pain. Janet Graves hears from FGM survivors and the healthcare professionals treating them about this culturally-embedded practice and how to uproot it. Hanna Gilbremedhen and Valentine Nkoyo speak about the impact being cut as children has had on their psychological and physical health as well as their relationships. Nkoyo also explains how her Mojato Foundation is working to mobilise opposition to FGM from within the communities affected. Gilbremedhen’s experience of undiagnosed chronic pain after FGM highlights the lack of knowledge among healthcare professionals. Clinics with experience in seeing women with FGM are vital, says Specialist Midwife Juliet Albert, if they are to get the care they need. Midwife, ‘fighter’ against FGM and founder of the Hope Clinic Asia Eden shares her story and stresses the importance of education in ensuring the safety of the next generation.
