GUN VIOLENCE IN AMERICA: FOR WHO THE BELL TOLLS NEXT.

Just five people shy of Sandy Hook elementary school mass shooting incident that claimed 26 lives, the Uvalde Texas Robb elementary school mass shooting at 21 victims, now ranks among the highest grossing gun carnage in America. It is sad that such frequent blood spilling has tragically become part of our culture as a society. May the souls of the killed now rest.

25th AMENDMENT: ITS NOW ALL CRICKET.

Madam Speaker Nancy Pelosi once questioned former President Donald John Trump's fitness to remain in office due to what she claimed was his declining mental capacity. Does anyone know what Madam Speaker presently thinks about the incontrovertible case which America is now saddled with? Just curious!

WHO WILL REBUILD UKRAINE?

The West should convert frozen Russian assets, both state's and oligarchs' owned, into a full seizure and set them aside for the future rebuilding of Ukraine. Like the Marshal Plan, call it the Putin Plan.

#MeToo MOVEMENT: A BAD NEWS GONE CRAZY.

"To all the women who testified, we may have different truth, but I have a great remorse for all of you. I have great remorse for all of the men and women going through this crisis right now in our country. You know, the movement started basically with me, and I think what happened, you know, I was the first example, and now there are thousands of men who are being accused and a regeneration of things that I think none of us understood. I’m not going to say these aren’t great people. I had wonderful times with these people. I’m just genuinely confused. Men are confused about this issue. We are going through this #MeToo movement crisis right now in this country." - Harvey Weinstein.


RON DELLUMS: UNAPOLOGETICALLY RADICAL.

WHAT REALLY MATTERS IN LIFE - STEVE JOBS

“I reached the pinnacle of success in the business world. In others’ eyes, my life is an epitome of success. However, aside from work, I have little joy. Non-stop pursuing of wealth will only turn a person into a twisted being, just like me. God gave us the senses to let us feel the love in everyone’s heart, not the illusions brought about by wealth. Memories precipitated by love is the only true riches which will follow you, accompany you, giving you strength and light to go on. The most expensive bed in the world is the sick bed. You can employ someone to drive the car for you, make money for you but you cannot have someone to bear sickness for you. Material things lost can be found. But there is one thing that can never be found when it is lost – Life. Treasure Love for your family, love for your spouse, love for your friends. Treat yourself well. Cherish others.” - SJ

TEXAS HEARTBEAT LAW: A REASONABLE RESTRAINT ON ABORTIONS GONE WILD.

ICHEOKU says there are so many options available to prevent having an abortion but the will apparently no longer exists to do so. The procedure is so well advanced and easy to perform that some women now find it even harder doing pregnancy preventions than simply making a visit to an abortion clinic. Getting pregnant can be easily prevented by those women who don't want to carry babies to full term with the practice of safe sex and insistence that their partners also do the same. Having an unwanted pregnancy requiring a women to have an abortion is therefore an otherwise avoidable position to be in.

It is even more disturbing when the same abortionists scream loudest that babies are being put in cages and demand that unlimited number of children and their mothers from the southern border should be allowed into America and agitate for 200,000 Afghanis including women and children to be imported in planeloads into America. How about America's own babies or haven't these abortionist lost whatever moral high grounds they had in trying to stop American own babies from being brought into America through birth by their love for foreign and other countries babies? What if those babies were similarly aborted? These are very unreasonable and irrational people who only want the carefree indulgence of unprotect and unrestricted sex but without the responsibility which sometimes accompany such activities. This attitude shot abortion on demand to the stratosphere where it is today in America and Texas decided to so something about it.

It is very tragic that over 300,000 babies are aborted each year in America, in a country that is supposedly "God's own country" and you wonder why? Is it that American women have become so reckless with their reproductive cycle and don't care anymore or have developed this carefree attitude of having unprotected sex because there is an abortion clinic down the road or around the corner? Is it possible too that because of cache blanc women "freedom" in America, including the freedom not to be married or divorce on a whiff or simply the outright dislike and hatred of men by their feminist wing that such decision to abort is arrived often too quickly? Is it that there is no longer fear of God in the society and with it moral codes have gone too, that sex is now more cavalierly engaged in resulting in unwanted pregnancies? Even sexually transmitted diseases no longer deter women from having unprotected sex and getting knocked up with unwanted babies which they flush out in abortion clinics.

As the unending battle of society continues for the right of women to or not to have an abortion,  there is a need too for society to take a look at adopting a new approach to the tussle by looking at the root cause of the matter which is having unprotected sex. Although a negligible percentage of the women who seek abortion services are victims of rape, but the large majority of them are women who had informed consensual sex, yet ended up seeking the services. Is it because they had a change of mind on carrying the pregnancy to full term or the unexpected pregnancy will impact their life in ways they did not anticipate nor would accommodate. Why not just say no to sex some people might ask, since the law gives women that additional right to reject any unwanted sexual advances or when they are not feeling up to it. Why is it only when that line of pregnancy is crossed that all these hoopla begins to be raised, forcing one to ask is prevention no longer better than cure.

ICHEOKU says is not an anti abortion police or a regulator of actions or controller of decisions, but only exploring ways the Roe v Wade existing tension between pro-life forces and abortionists can be effectively checkmated so that Americans can once begin to find some areas of agreement on some issues, especially one as this delicate. It was the Supreme Court that brought Roe v Wade into legitimacy and if the same Supreme Court choses to delegitimate Roe v Wade through the Texas heartbeat law which they decided not to touch, so be it. It is not only about women's right not to carry babies to full term, but also there is an included right of the unborn child not to be denied its right of entry into this world. So, a weighted balance of allowing the woman to do with her body as she pleases also includes the right of an unborn baby not to be killed once his or her heart starts beating. But to seek to completely deny one their right is not only selfish and uncaring, but also an attack on their God giving right to life and also their body. 

The Texas law is an equitable legislation which protects both women and babies as both parties are allowed their respective rights while meeting each other safely at the center with reasonable accommodations. The right to life should not be only exclusive for the women who are providing the incubator for the children because the children have no other alternative means of entering society and therefore reserves the right not to be denied their entry into society. Also, the abortionists once incubated in some other woman's ovum and therefore owe a duty to provide their ovum for some other child wishing to enter the world. Having that special ability and capability to provide such services is an honor which should be treasured rather than scorned.  The government should consider paying women for pregnancy hardship allowance and that way incentivize them to bringing life into this world. It will also greatly reduce the urge to get rid of the babies.

It is obvious that majority of women flushing babies out in abortion clinics do so because of financial hardship of raising a child. The government can institute a program for helping these women financially and if the government can afford to spend $300 million per day fighting a needless war in Afghanistan, they can also easily afford helping women with the financial needs involved in having babies. It is all about finding a workable solution as no person should be forced to carry a burden which is too heavy for their back. Since men readily want to have sex and condoms are not always their first preference, may be it is about time men are made to start paying for sex through a universal childcare taxation just in case an unwanted pregnancy results and the child has to be carried to full term. They already pay prostitutes, so why not for every sex?

Is it possible that as Texas goes so will other conservative Republican controlled States in the union, using "acute" restrictions on abortions to completely delegitimate abortions in their respective states. But their intention is in the right place as their aim is to help save the lives of millions of American babies who will be aborted, going forward? It is also in memory of the millions of other babies who were not so lucky and have already since paid the price of unrestricted abortions on demand in America. But are women being unduly tasked on this issue, and what sacrifices exactly are men being asked to make in the effort to end abortions on demand in America. It is true that without men there will be no resulting pregnancy which may be considered unwanted and needing to be aborted. Why is the use of spermicides not being encouraged more often, including its equivalent for men being readily made available so that men will also be actively participating in the prevention of pregnancies.

ICHEOKU says agrees that abortion is ravaging America and even bordering on savagery perpetrated on American babies, the future population of America. So, why is the American society tolerating the killing of their own kind and to such a degree that over 300,000 of them are killed each year. A matter made worse because it is their direct blood line that are killing these babies, American women; sometimes aided and abetted by American men, in the guise of exercising their "reproductive rights". What exactly is "reproductive" in sabotaging reproduction? Their right not to reproduce should end once the producing process has begun with an implanted viable fetus. Tampering with the fetus should therefore be a more readily prosecutable crime of not only the woman, but the man who implanted the fetus, except of course when the woman insists, despite all the pleading from the man, that it is her body and her choice.

There is a need to find a definitive meeting ground on the issue of abortion in America because it is always going to periodically swing with the composition of the Supreme Court Justices. It once  swung to the Roe v Wade presently operating standard and might someday swing back to what it used to be before Roe v Wade. The entire society is suffering the effects and it will take the entire society to also find a solution to it. It is therefore about time the society fixed it because contraceptives have not solved the problem, condoms have not solved the problem, the fear of catching STDs have not solved the problem and the craving for orgasms have not slowed down. So, what then will solve the problem? ICHEOKU says women should be encouraged, pampered and even paid to carry babies to full term; that way, they will not be feeling that they are being forced to do with their body what they don't want to do. Let pay them to do it.

The Texas law is a good and well thought out law which will help create more American babies and avoid the need to import people through the southern border and Afghanistan to populate the land. Any woman in Texas who does not want to carry babies to full term should relocate to New York or California where abortion on demand is still a way of life. But if they choose to remain in Texas, they should be prepared to do the needful by closing their legs (abstinence) or opening them with greater caution by practicing safe sex with condoms or prevention of conception by contraceptives or the Billings method. It is their body, alright; but babies need to incubate. Women should treasure the honor of exclusive privilege of being the only entry point of babies into this world. They should cherish it with great relish and pride themselves in it, instead of taking undue advantage of it by denying babies entry visas into America. #WomenRocks!
