an AI pause could be similar to (the truly reasonable and voted in) gun laws which only those with healthy, good motives for wanting and using guns abide by those with maleficent intentions with their AI experimenting will not respect legitimate needs for agreed upon restrictions and safe boundaries put in place for the good of individuals and our society...but then again, those are the ones who believe they are above the law and are doing horrible things out of evil selfish greed and lust for powerful control over all in the name of saving humanity...and they will continue to do whatever God allows them to behind the scenes in darkness until the entire world is enveloped in darkness (after we leave) and at that point it will all be out in the open under Satan's pure evil temporary earthly rule and they will face the wrath of our Almighty God! State of Oregon Denies Woman’s Application to Adopt Based on Her Christian Faith: The state of Oregon is denying the application of a woman who wants to adopt because she is a Christian and will not agree to support gender transition if the child she adopts ends up being trans. This is where the left has planned to take this argument from the start. It’s a backdoor way to openly discriminate against people of faith. They don’t care about the welfare of children, they care about spreading their ideology. Jessica Bates began the process of applying to become certified to adopt a child from Oregon’s foster care system one year ago. The Oregon Department of Human Services, the agency responsible for the delivery and administration of the state’s child welfare programs, denied her application because individuals seeking to adopt must agree to “respect, accept, and support … the sexual orientation, gender identity, [and] gender expression” of any child the department could place in an applicant’s home, and Bates could not agree to this because of her faith. “Oregon’s policy amounts to an ideological litmus test: people who hold secular or ‘progressive’ views on sexual orientation and gender identity are eligible to participate in child welfare programs, while people of faith with religiously informed views are disqualified because they don’t agree with the state’s orthodoxy,” said ADF Senior Counsel Jonathan Scruggs, director of the ADF Center for Conscience Initiatives. “The government can’t exclude certain communities of faith from foster care and adoption services because the state doesn’t like their particular religious beliefs.” Franklin Graham: ‘Appalling’ for Oregon to Put ‘Woke Ideology Above the Needs’ of Children: Evangelist Franklin Graham said it is “appalling” for Oregon to put a political agenda and “woke ideology” above the needs of children in reaction to the story of Jessica Bates — a mom of five who allegedly had her adoption application rejected over her Christian beliefs on gender and sexuality. “Jessica Bates has 5 children & wants to adopt 2 siblings who are in foster care, but she was denied because she expressed concerns during Oregon’s progressive instruction on gender-related issues,” Graham said, noting there are thousands of children in foster care and hundreds waiting to be adopted in that state. “Oregon has 8,000+ children in foster care & around 200 waiting to be adopted. For the state to put their political agenda & woke ideology above the needs of these children is appalling. Thank you @ADFLegal for coming to Jessica’s aid & fighting for the rights of Christians everywhere,” he added. Half of unmarried people under 30 in Japan don't want kids, survey finds: Around half of unmarried people under 30 in Japan have no interest in having children, a recent survey by a pharmaceutical firm showed, with respondents citing economic concerns and the burden of childbirth and parenting as their reasoning. The results of the online survey conducted in January came after government data showed the number of babies born in the country last year dropped below 800,000 for the first time since records began in 1899. https://www.naturalnews.com/2023-04-07-toronto-pushing-decriminalize-all-drugs-any-age.html "The argument in favor of decriminalization is that those using such substances personally need help, not prison time. By treating illicit drug use as a public health issue rather than a criminal issue, users have a better chance of overcoming the habit and getting somewhere in life without a criminal record.' a woman and her daughters could not stay in their apartment anymore after they legalized pot in Toronto. Her neighbors would be smoking and it would get into their apartment and cause them headaches and other health problems. The woman was in tears. There was nothing she could do because it is legal to smoke pot. How about her right to live in peace in her apartment? Keep encouraging irresponsible people with your laws.
