We have been through this before. We know children should not be giving birth to children. No fetus is viable because there is a heartbeat circulating blood, nutrients and poop. Well, waste, the poop stays in the fetus gut until birth, called meconium. The fetus carries it's cellular waste to the umbilical cord for the mother to accept it into her circulating blood to eliminate it.

An 11-year-old girl in Ohio (click here) was allegedly raped by a 26-year-old multiple times, leaving her pregnant, according to police reports. A state law passed in April, but not yet in effect, says that victims like her won't have a choice to have an abortion — they would have to carry and deliver their rapist's child.
The law prohibits women from obtaining an abortion after a fetal heartbeat is detected, about five or six weeks into a pregnancy, before most women even know that they're pregnant
The law provides no exceptions for rape or incest....
Republicans do not care about children. They care about the way their parents will vote. Prime example.
A Republican Texas state lawmaker (click here) responded to a top vaccine scientist's tweets about vaccination exemptions by accusing him of "sorcery" on Tuesday.
Peter Hotez, professor and dean of the National School of Tropical Medicine at Baylor College of Medicine, tweeted a link to a report showing that Texas recorded a 14 percent rise in parents opting out of the state's vaccination requirements for children.
State Rep. Jonathan Stickland (R) fired back, accusing Hotez of being bought off.
“You are bought and paid for by the biggest special interest in politics,” the Fort Worth lawmaker wrote. “Do our state a favor and mind your own business. Parental rights mean more to us than your self enriching ‘science.’...
The less Republicans read or have the ability to read, the more Republican lawmakers love it. If adults in a household can't read, WILL THEY HAVE BOOKS IN THAT HOUSE FOR THEIR CHILDREN TO READ?

Twenty percent of adults in North Texas (click here) can't read this sentence, according to Literacy Instruction for Texas, better known as LIFT.
Without some serious intervention, the problem will get worse. The agency estimates that in 12 years, 30 percent of Dallas County's projected population of 3.5 million could be illiterate.
That's more than 1 million people who can't help their kids with homework or even figure out a bus map.
LIFT aims to thwart this dystopian future by educating adults in reading, English and high school equivalency....
Parents are the biggest influence on early childhood development, that includes reading. Research also shows that children should have read 1000 books before they enter school. Considering most children's books in that age group is no more than 30 pages long, that is not an overestimate of any American child's ability.
Research shows (click here) that children learn about reading before they enter school. In fact, they learn in the best manner-through observation. Young children, for example, see people around them reading newspapers, books, maps, and signs.
Parents can do a lot to foster an understanding of print by talking with their preschoolers about signs in their environment and by letting their children know they enjoy reading themselves.
When reading to your preschooler, you should run your index finger under the line of print. This procedure is simple and helps children begin to notice words and that words have meaning. They also gain an awareness of the conventions of reading (e.g., one reads from left to right and from the top of the page to the bottom; sentences are made up of words; and some sentences extend beyond a single line of print)....
