"New statistics point to an uptick of gun purchases among women in the US. The National Shooting Sports Federation reports an annual increase of over 83 per cent in the number of women purchasing guns for what they cite as self-defence. The National Rifle Association (NRA), the controversial US gun lobby, has also seen an increase of up to 20 per cent in female attendance at shooting clinics."

Even by the standards of French "community" policing, it is a desperately harrowing video. Filmed by an amateur cameraman, it shows riot police in the notorious Seine-Saint-Denis suburb of Paris breaking up a demonstration by evicted mothers, some of them pregnant. Displaying the kind of respect and sensitivity normally reserved for prone drunks, the officers poke, manhandle and then drag the protestors along the road, along with their crying young children and babies.

Thrown in jail for getting pregnant? That seems like a particularly absurd violation of women's reproductive rights. But it's actually an established policy in Allegheny County, PA. Cara reports at the Curvature that, for Amy Lynn Gillespie, becoming pregnant meant violating the terms of her work release under probation, and getting thrown in jail. Yet this story comes to an even more tragic ending, because Gillespie died while in custody from advanced pneumonia.

"What if I told you police in your town could desensitize themselves to the idea of shooting a (armed) child, pregnant woman, or young mother, for just a couple of bucks? The "No More Hesitation" series from Law Enforcement Targets Inc. offers exactly that." This coupled with billions of rounds of hollow point pistol ammo... Makes one wonder....

The Australian government has indefinitely detained a pregnant mother and her two sons based on an ASIO (Australian Security Intelligence Organisation) finding of an "adverse security assessment". You guessed it, they won't disclose what it is and her family and friends can't appeal it. Truly disgusting.

Can bad mothers be bribed into Becoming good mothers?

Disturbing : CALIFORNIA COPS OPEN FIRE ON MEN - WOMEN - CHILDREN - BABIES

An anonymous group calling itself Concerned Citizens for the United States has distributed a detailed list (names, addresses, Social Security numbers, and birthdays) of 1,300 alleged illegal immigrants including 200 children and at least six pregnant women to local authorities and media outlets. Demanding, "Do your job and stop making excuses! We demand action." The group claims the names on the list all belong to illegal immigrants and demands that deportation proceedings for them start immediately.

The two women believed they were adequately home-schooling their children – using age-appropriate books and a computer with Internet access.

But according to the Allen County Prosecutor’s Office, Lila M. Ferguson, 38, and Molly M. Williams, 42, committed a crime – neglect of a dependent – by depriving the children of an education. According to court records, the offense was largely characterized by a failure to provide records on the children’s educational progress as they claimed to home-school their children.
