Asylum comes from an Ancient Greek juridical concept, under which a person persecuted by their own country may be protected by another sovereign authority, such as another nation or church official, who in medieval times could offer sanctuary.
This was recognized by the Egyptians, the Greeks, and the Hebrews then adopted into Western tradition. René Descartes fled to the Netherlands, Voltaire to England, and Thomas Hobbes to France, because each state offered protection to persecuted foreigners.

It’s simple logic that everyone should be able to understand, the punishment for an alleged misdemeanor should never become an administrative nightmare where those seeking to improve their lives could end up losing their babies forever. Although #USA no longer has an open arms policy, poor people continue to migrate to richer countries like #America.

What would happen if SCOTUS, CONGRESS or POTUS tries to kill Roe v Wade, including a massive civic backlash? However, some say abortion is the ultimate form of child abuse, while others believe women have the right to chose. What say you?
Anyone attacking the press is #RED the Real Enemy of Democracy. This week @POTUS reacted to the shooting of journalists Tweeting thoughts and prayers along with a thumbs-up sign and a wave to news media members seeking comments.

Thomson Reuters Foundation reached out to hundreds of experts who focus on women’s issues, including development workers, journalists, academics, and health providers.
These experts were asked to name the most dangerous nations for women, according to six separate categories.

The increasing violation of our rights and the rights of children; unjust and criminally deadly attacks on the free press, attacks on our US neighbors and longtime international allies should make us want to be registered to vote, even if it's via absentee ballots.
All Americans should be mourning all the injustices and they must all be confronted now before the midterm elections. All bipartisan reforms could be adopted before its too late.
