At a time when public confidence in government institutions has greatly eroded, we must examine not just the constitutional impact of allowing the Texas law to take effect, but also the conservative Court's abuse of the shadow docket. – Dick Durbin	Found on CNN 2 years ago
I've never been accused of sexual harassment. I've never been accused of sexual abuse. I've never been accused -- I worked with hundreds of women throughout my career, i think it's unfair for you to suggest that I am, somehow, don't like women or somehow I think women are inferior to men. I don't. – Larry Elder	Found on CNN 2 years ago
An unjust world: I denounce Marijuana and you call me a monster. I denounce same sex marriage, same sex relationships, and same sex intercourse and you call me a monster. I denounce military style weapons and open carry for civilian use and you say I'm violating your rights. I denounce alcohol which causes crashes and fatalities, health problems, high crime rates, your more susceptible to injuries and it's a squandering of tax dollars and resources and you call me a monster because I want to abolish it. You underage drink and steal booze but you say I'm the bad guy. You do drugs and steroids and you call me evil. Your irresponsible and get pregnant at 15 and you say I'm abusing the system. You bully people everyday and then when they go on a massacre you call them monsters and evil but really your the monster, your the evil one for bullying them and harming them and forcing them into causing a massacre. You spray paint stop signs, you vandalize public and private property but you call me a delinquent. You cheat, lie , rape, murder, etc, etc, but I'm the monster for defending myself, I'm the monster for standing up for what is right.

We will not accept presidential pardons as get-out-of-jail free cards for the well-connected in New York, as alleged in the complaint, Kenneth Kurson launched a campaign of cybercrime, manipulation, and abuse from Kenneth Kurson perch at the New York Observer, and now the people of New York will hold Kenneth Kurson accountable. – Cy Vance	Found on CNN 2 years ago
In reference to the issue raised by the defense in their joint letter report to the court today of their plan to challenge the constitutionality of what we call the ‘ lookback ’ provision in California, that is a major issue, they say they plan to challenge the constitutionality of the new law. If the new law was decided by a court – and ultimately that will have to be a decision most likely all the way up to the Supreme Court of California – to be unconstitutional, that is going to inflict significant harm potentially on many victims of child sexual abuse in California. – Gloria Allred	Found on FOX News 2 years ago
Because in plain English, what the new law does is it opens up access to the courts for many victims of child sexual abuse who may have been victimized in prior years but for many reasons never came forward, never exercised their option to file a lawsuit at that time but would still like to be able to file a lawsuit and have access to justice in a civil lawsuit in California. If Bill Cosby defense is successful in having that new law declared unconstitutional, Bill Cosby defense is going to be a significant barrier to those who allege they are victims to being able to have access to justice in the courts against those that they believe and assert are sexual predators and who have significantly harmed them. We will be addressing that issue later on in this case. – Gloria Allred	Found on FOX News 2 years ago
These heavily-redacted documents hide a lot of details, and because one method of abortion listed is ‘labor induction,’ there is the distinct possibility that some of these babies were born alive and then their organs harvested, which would be a horrific abuse of science and human decency, there are so many questions raised by this heavily redacted information, and the University of Pittsburgh, as well as NIH, owe clarity and transparency to the American people. – David Prentice	Found on FOX News 2 years ago
I am thankful for the Attorney General, the investigators and all those who have pursued the truth despite intimidation and threats of retaliation, most importantly, I am in awe of the strength of the other women who risked everything to come forward. My hope always has been that this will make it safer for other women to report their own harassment and abuse. I will continue the fight to make that happen. – Lindsey Boylan	Found on FOX News 2 years ago
Apple is replacing its industry-standard end-to-end encrypted messaging system with an infrastructure for surveillance and censorship, which will be vulnerable to abuse and scope-creep not only in the US, but around the world, apple should abandon these changes and restore its users' faith in the security and integrity of their data on Apple devices and services. – Greg Nojeim	Found on CNN 2 years ago
Andrew Cuomo must resign or be impeached. Cuomo institutionalized widespread abuse within his administration and tried to silence his many victims, which enabled him to continue openly preying on those around him. Over the last few months, Cuomo has continued his attempts to undermine the investigations into his wrongdoing and those carrying them out, and I have no doubt he will continue to do so following the release of the report. – Lee Zeldin	Found on FOX News 2 years ago
I knew then, and we know now, that we needed to change, change the culture, when it comes to sexual assault. And changing the culture requires all of us, all of us, to get engaged -- especially young men, who too often stand on the sidelines.

It takes an enormous amount of courage for a sexual abuse victim to report having been sexually abused to investigators and proceed through the criminal process, let the facts be presented, the law applied, and a fair verdict rendered. – Mitchell Garabedian	Found on FOX News 2 years ago
What we did is we just went backwards on helping people with mental health needs, substance abuse disorders, and the homeless. Those three things go hand in hand, these laws have done nothing to protect those people and help those people get out of the situation they’re in. – Lewis County	Found on FOX News 2 years ago

Social media companies once alerted to this abuse have an acute responsibility to immediately take it down, the Government needs to get on with legislating the tech giants. Enough of the foot dragging, all those who suffer at the hand of racists, not just England players, deserve better protections now. – Julian Knight	Found on CNN 2 years ago
Marijuana is considered to be a substance of abuse and not a performance-enhancing drug, i think our goal is to test performance-enhancing drugs in an effort to ensure there’s a level playing field. – Bob Bennett	Found on FOX News 2 years ago
We can not continue to say to the police that they have to do everything, they're not mental health clinicians. They're not substance abuse workers. They're not child case managers. We have to rethink how we do the system in its entirety. – Brandon Scott	Found on CNN 2 years ago
It does not change the credibility of Andrea Constand at his home and other victims of sexual abuse, i don't think the case should be understood as having any other implications to other cases. And it's not relevant to Weinstein's litigation. – Jean Cesarez	Found on CNN 2 years ago
The Chinese government has detained more than one million people in as many as 1200 state-run internment camps throughout Xinjiang, many detainees are subjected to physical violence, sexual abuse, and torture to induce them to work producing apparel, electronics, solar equipment, agricultural products. – Antony Blinken	Found on CNN 2 years ago
