Breaking News: Exposed - Born Alive Abortions
Q: Can you explain that amendment?
O'Connor describes that the amendment called for medical care for babies born alive after botched abortions.
McBlog: Conversion Therapy Law In Supreme Court US
Q: Was your case dealing with the ability to get counseling for unwanted sexuality issues as well as unwanted gender confusion?
No, Colorado's law addresses both; it forbids conversations for minors to regain comfort with their biological sex and to reduce unwanted attractions.
McBlog: Conversion Therapy Law In Supreme Court US
Q: Could you just give us sort of a Reader's Digest version of this case and how it's got all the way to the Supreme Court?
The law forbids counselors from having conversations that help minors regain comfort with their biological sex while allowing them to push for gender transitions, which Warner argues is viewpoint discrimination.
StraightTalk – 20 October 2025
Q: Ate, do you think in a year we're really facing the possibility that we're going to have a three-headed monster government of Labour, Greens and Te Pati Māori?
Definitely not. I don't trust the polls, and it's too early.
