Keith Cohen, a liberal Washington Post columnist and self-proclaimed atheist, has tried to refute the belief-based arguments against abortion. He believes that people have a soul, and that aborted babies never had a chance to survive and live their lives on Earth.
🗣 In a piece headlined, "‘ How would you feel if your mother had aborted you? ’Easy. I’d feel nothing," Cohen argued that aborted babies "feel nothing" because they wouldn't have ever existed following the abortion

TikTok ‘challenge’ or school shooting threats?
An anonymous threat made on TikTok in the last couple of days has led numerous schools across the nation to increase security and issue letters to parents as a precaution. The threat claims that multiple school shootings will take place on Friday, and hundreds of young people posted their concern with hashtags like #17thdecember2021 #SchoolThreat #17thschoolshooting
Law enforcement agencies have investigated the threat and reported that it is a “challenge," determining that it originated in Arizona and is not credible. As of late November, there have been 32 school shootings in the US in 2021 which have resulted in injury or death

💹 Should members of Сongress own stock?
🗣 House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said, “We’re a free-market economy,” defending rules that allow members of Congress to own individual stocks. Pelosi’s position is opposed by many House liberals, such as Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, who say that members possess sensitive information, thus making it unethical for them to own stock.
The speaker's husband, Paul Pelosi, has made countless bets on high-profile companies that his wife is tasked with regulating. Pelosi has said she has no knowledge of her husband’s trading decisions and does not own any stock herself.
😃 Is there any woman on the planet who does not know what her husband is doing with their money?
