We broadened our focus to national-level threats to our Judeo-Christian heritage, the Culture of Life, and free speech. In 2006, Article 8 Alliance adopted the name "MassResistance" for its organization.

'The Commonwealth prides itself on being a progressive, inclusive state and in that spirit, having the outdated legislation outlawing sodomy and referring to adult sexual activities as "unnatural acts" stricken from our books makes Massachusetts a safer, more inclusive place for all of our residents and visitors, especially those who are a part of the LGBTQ+ community.'

is poised to pass the “<a href="https://www.massresistance.org/docs/gen4/23c/Stop-the-Equality-Act/index.html" target="_blank"><b><span style="color: #cc0000;">Equality Act</span></b></a>” which would force the entire country to bow to gender insanity.</span></p>Amy Contradahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06807876699801884411noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9723132.post-26543990400191235492023-07-17T11:32:00.004-04:002023-07-17T12:13:52.962-04:00Pure evil: Equality Act 2023 (HR15)<p><b><span style="background: rgb(255, 255, 253); color: #444444; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;">It’s back!

I used to be so proud to say that. </p><p>I am appalled and alarmed about the Gender-Affirming Care program and its potential for harm to CHILDREN. <b>I have written to the Director of Nursing with no response about my concerns. </b></p><p><b>FIRST, DO NO HARM.</b> Where did that go? The ultimate best care of children. Where did that go?</p><p>Here are the reasons CHILDREN are not ready to make these life altering decisions:</p><p>1. Development of the brain’s frontal lobes, key components of the neural activity circuitry underlying ”executive functions” such as reasoning, motor function, problem solving, judgement, social and sexual behavior, working memory, capacity to plan and impulse control are among the last areas of the brain to mature. Our frontal lobes may not be fully developed until our 30s.</p><p>2. Puberty [must be protected], when a CHILD grows into sexual maturity and experiences endocrine and psychological changes.</p><p>3. Reaction to stressors – for a CHILD in a healthy environment this is done with the loving help of Mom, Dad, trusted caregiver. Later on in life the adult has the ability to handle these pressures by herself or himself judging when additional help or information is needed.</p><p>A CHILD needs a CHILDHOOD. That child needs to be allowed to grow up into full adulthood. As noted in the few points of science above, maturity should be allowed so that each person can make his or her informed decisions in all phases of life. </p><p>Please bring this to light. </p><p><b>God bless the CHILDREN.</b></p><p>Respectfully, <br />Nifty Chagaris<br />79-year-old mother and grandmother in Tucson, AZ</p><div><br /></div>Amy Contradahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06807876699801884411noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9723132.post-28162955839309381672023-06-03T17:23:00.005-04:002023-06-03T17:43:22.817-04:00Resisting "PRIDE"<p> </p><p> Now on Twitter ...</p><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><br /></blockquote> <script async="" charset="utf-8" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js"></script><p></p><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p dir="ltr" lang="en"><a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/Pride?src=hash&ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#Pride</a> in <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/Sodomy?src=hash&ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#Sodomy</a>?

Law Protects Boston Children's Hospital "Gender" Clinic Doctors from Prosecution for Medical Malpractice<p>How do the gender clinic experts at Boston Children's
Hospital (BCH) get away with inflicting harm? Their staff is protected by a <u><a href="https://malegislature.gov/Laws/SessionLaws/Acts/2022/Chapter127" target="_blank"><span style="color: #cc0000;">2022 Mass. law</span></a></u> which <i>criminalizes</i> anyone from out of state who’d dare to bring
a lawsuit for medical malpractice. That would be considered “<i>abusive litigation</i>”
because (in Mass.) there is a “constitutional right” to “gender-affirming
healthcare.” If a detransitioner (like Chloe Cole) harmed by BCH MDs tried to
get justice in Mass.,<i> she</i> would be the offender and civil action could
be taken against <i>her</i>. This law is crying out for a challenge!</p><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">In-state transition regretters who were harmed could not sue
the BCH staff because that would be anti-transgender discrimination! The <a href="https://www.childrenshospital.org/programs/center-gender-surgery-program" target="_blank"><span style="color: #cc0000;">BCH gender surgery webpage</span></a> notes that their practices are protected by the <a href="https://malegislature.gov/Laws/SessionLaws/Acts/2016/Chapter134" target="_blank"><span style="color: #cc0000;">2016 Mass. law</span></a> banning discrimination on the basis of gender identity in public
accommodations. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">All this permitted abuse is based on the <i>gender myth</i>. “Gender”
is never defined in the law – except circularly, i.e., “gender is gender.” <a href="https://malegislature.gov/Laws/GeneralLaws/PartI/TitleI/Chapter4/Section7" target="_blank"><span style="color: #cc0000;">MGL Ch 4, Sec 7, 59th</span></a>. Nor does BCH ever clearly define or describe what condition
they’re treating in children – except to note little boys sometimes play with dolls or say “I
want to be a mommy.” (See my May 2023 <a href="https://www.massresistance.org/docs/gen4/23b/BCH-gender-clinic-horrors/report/BosChildrensHosp-GenderClinic.pdf" target="_blank"><span style="color: #cc0000;">report</span>

I discussed the clinic's ghoulish experimentation with puberty blocking drugs in 2007 on the MassResistance radio show (on WTTT) when the BCH "gender" clinic had just opened. In 2008, Brian Camenker of MassResistance appeared on Megyn Kelly's show on Fox News. In <a href="https://www.massresistance.org/topics/reports/Childrens_Hosp_Bos.html" target="_blank">2011, we tried</a> to wake people up again. Apparently, no one wanted to deal with this ugly topic then. Finally, after almost two decades of child abuse, the general public is waking up. </p><p>CONTENTS:<br />Introduction<br />Boston Children’s Hospital gender clinic opens in 2007<br />“Gender-affirming” treatments have no scientific basis<br />Social transitioning: BCH guide on names, pronouns; warns against parents; tucking & binding<br />Puberty blocking drugs<br />Cross-sex hormones

Massachusetts became the first state to formally recognize same-sex marriage.
In a 4-3 ruling, the state’s Supreme Judicial Court declared that the
Massachusetts Constitution (written by John Adams) protected same-sex marriage
as an inviolable right. This absurdity went unchallenged by the political elite
who cared nothing for the constitution’s clear separation of powers. While the
state’s marriage law was never changed, the executive branch (under Governor
Mitt Romney) illegally implemented same-sex marriage – blindly accepting the
court as the ultimate authority, despite widespread calls to reject its ruling.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><i><span style="color: #ac0000; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;">CORRUPT BARGAINS</span></i><span style="color: #c00000; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;"> </span><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;">is a unique history of how same-sex marriage began in
Massachusetts. It is the only documentary account of the corrupt maneuvering of
politicians and pro-LGBT special interest groups during this constitutional
crisis (2001-2007). Massachusetts developed the template for the deceptive
political strategies that would dupe the conservative establishment and citizenry
across the country. The tactics behind the U.S. Supreme Court’s <i>Obergefell</i>
ruling on same-sex marriage (2015) were crafted in Massachusetts.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;">The
successful LGBT strategy was to ignore questions of morality and public health,
invent “rights,” demand “fairness” and “equality,” and flood the zone with emotional propaganda. The achievement of same-sex marriage cleared the way for the next big goal of the sexual radicals:
transgender rights.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

circumvent constitutional governance. The book provides a front-row view of
these precedent-setting events. It has rescued rare sources from the memory
hole, with up-to-date links in the 900 endnotes. <o:p></o:p></span></p>Amy Contradahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06807876699801884411noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9723132.post-24669284997844976852021-06-17T15:43:00.010-04:002023-05-16T19:31:01.319-04:00Covid & "Vaccines" Truth<p></p><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><b><div style="text-align: center;"><b><span style="font-family: "Palatino Linotype", serif; line-height: 107%;"><span style="color: #cc0000; font-size: x-large;"><a href="https://onedrive.live.com/embed?cid=D4B6D2123C24CFBA&resid=D4B6D2123C24CFBA%215371&authkey=ALm-_MSW_pcUWBo&em=2" target="_blank">COVID-19 and the "Vaccines"</a></span></span></b></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b><span style="font-family: "Palatino Linotype", serif; line-height: 107%;"><span style="color: #cc0000; font-size: large;"><br /></span></span></b></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b><span style="font-family: "Palatino Linotype", serif; line-height: 107%;"><span style="color: #cc0000; font-size: large;">What Is the Truth?</span></span></b></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b><span style="font-family: "Palatino Linotype", serif; line-height: 107%;"><span style="color: #cc0000; font-size: large;"><br /></span></span></b></div><span style="font-family: "Palatino Linotype", serif; line-height: 107%;"><div style="text-align: center;"><b><span style="line-height: 107%;"><span style="color: #cc0000; font-size: large;">A Compilation of Reliable Sources</span></span></b></div><div style="color: #c00000; text-align: center;"><b><span style="line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span></b></div></span></b><p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt 27pt; text-align: center;">(c) Amy L.

<br />
<strong><em><span style="font-size: medium;">Mitt Romney's Deception</span></em></strong> reveals the former Massachusetts Governor's promotion of "gay rights," his unconstitutional implementation of "gay marriage," and his support for sexual-radical programs in the Massachusetts schools. The outrages Romney failed to halt set horrible precedents for radical leftist victories nationwide. Contrary to his claim that he defended marriage, the Constitution, traditional values, and religious freedom, he actually undermined them. <br />
<br />
Contrada's research will prove invaluable in assessing Mitt Romney as a Presidential candidate. Focusing on the issue of "gay rights," Contrada documents his largely untold history as Governor. During those years (2003-2006), Romney:<br />
* worked closely with homosexual activists and pro-gay rights advisors<br />
* implemented "gay marriage," violating the Massachusetts Constitution<br />
* pushed a constitutional amendment strategy doomed to failure, and ignored the call to remove the "gay marriage" judges <br />
* funded and promoted GLBT indoctrination in the public schools through his Governor's Commission on Gay and Lesbian Youth, and his Department of Education "Safe Schools" programs<br />
* undermined religious freedom, failing to defend Catholic Charities in the "homosexual adoptions" fiasco<br />
* continued or implemented radical GLBT programs in his executive departments<br />
<br />
This superbly documented history has over 900 detailed footnotes. It is a unique resource by an activist on the front lines of the culture war during Mitt Romney's term as Governor.<br />
