The U.S. birth rate saw a slight <a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/news/fewer-babies-born-2022-teen-birth-rate-cdc-report/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">decline</a> from 2021 to 2022 after a small uptick in births during the COVID-19 pandemic, according to a Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) provisional report published Thursday. 
According to the Vital Statistics Rapid Release Program’s <a href="https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/data/vsrr/vsrr028.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">analysis</a> of 99% of all birth certificates in 2022, there was a less than 1% decline in total births from 2021 to 2022, decreasing from 3,664,292 babies in 2021 to 3,661,220 in 2022. The data also noted that 2021 was the first year since 2014 that the U.S. birth rate had increased, while U.S. births dropped relatively significantly due to the pandemic, from 3,747,540 births in 2019 to 3,613,647 births in 2020.
The decline in birth rates is not an issue unique to the United States, as global fertility rates have declined by 50% in the past 70 years, with the U.S. at a 1.8 fertility rate — slightly <a href="https://www.visualcapitalist.com/cp/charted-the-global-decline-of-fertility-rates/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">below</a> the global average of 2.4. The nation&#8217;s fertility rate is still significantly better than many other developed countries such as Japan and Italy, with fertility rates at less than 1.25. 
The CDC report charted a continued rise in births from women in their early 40s and late 30s as well as a continued decline in teen births, which have declined a staggering 80% since 1991. Births among women aged 40-44 have not decreased since 1981, with 2020 being an exception due to COVID restrictions. This is a reflection of many families delaying having children.

2022 also marks the first year of the landmark Supreme Court decision overturning Roe v. Wade. Many experts initially predicted a spike in births, <a href="https://apnews.com/article/us-births-2022-pandemic-61da497183e03b80f236fa50720b26be" target="_blank" rel="noopener">estimating</a> that nearly 50% of pregnancies are unintentional, although this does not seem to be reflected in the CDC data, with further answers possible when the full report is released in several months.
Many conservatives contend that the decline in births is in part caused by the Western world losing touch with religious and cultural values, calling for a return to more traditional family structures.

The original <a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@kourtnifaber/video/7237564436070812974?lang=en">video</a>, which has racked up more than 7.1 million views as of Tuesday, was posted by self-described dental hygienist and mom of three Kourtni Faber’s account over the weekend. In it, a man with a mustache wearing a gown waves enthusiastically to a child and introduces himself as Nick as the customer enters the store.

The video goes on to show a female store employee in the same uniform helping a young girl get a princess makeover. The original poster included the caption, “A dream is a wish your heart makes, when you’re fast asleep #disneyland #bibbidibobbidiboutique #corememory.”
Many commenters on TikTok professed that they “love” Nick and said he’s been working at the Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique for a while.

Other changes to the dress code included that cast members no longer had to cover their tattoos if appropriate, and men were permitted to wear nail polish.
“Inclusion is essential to our culture and leads us forward as we continue to realize our rich legacy of engaging storytelling, exceptional service, and Disney magic,” the statement continued. 
“Our new approach provides greater flexibility with respect to forms of personal expression surrounding gender-inclusive hairstyles, jewelry, nail styles, and costume choices; and allowing appropriate visible tattoos. We’re updating them to not only remain relevant in today’s workplace, but also enable our cast members to better express their cultures and individuality at work.”

Police in Portugal on Tuesday resumed their search for missing British child Madeleine McCann, who disappeared from a resort in 2007.
Around 20 officers, using rakes and other digging tools, searched a patch of land near a dam about 30 miles from where McCann disappeared 16 years ago, the Associated Press <a href="https://apnews.com/article/madeleine-mccann-portugal-algarve-missing-germany-uk-4528b15895180b3e1d9a9aecde06bfcc" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported</a>. It is not clear if progress has been made in the search.
Portuguese police are leading the operation with help from German and British law enforcement. It began after German authorities made a request. This is the fourth such search for McCann, following the initial search after her disappearance in 2007 and additional searches in 2013 and 2014. Germany also conducted its own search in Germany in 2020. The current search is reportedly the first one near the dam.
Madeleine McCann was three years old <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/unsolved-the-disappearance-of-madeleine-mccann" target="_blank" rel="noopener">when she disappeared</a> from her bed in an apartment her family rented while on vacation in Praia da Luz, Portugal, in 2007. She would be 20 years old today.
The McCann family — parents Gerry and Kate along with Madeleine and her twin siblings, who were two years old – was on vacation with seven friends, now known as the Tapas Seven, along with their children.
On the morning of May 3, 2007, the children played at the resort’s Kids’ Club before joining their parents at the pool, after which they returned to the Kids’ Club until Kate took them back to their apartment. Kate and Gerry put their children to bed before joining their friends at the resort’s tapas restaurant, located across the pool from the apartments where they were all staying. From their table, the parents could see the top of McCann’s apartment but not the doors, and they left the patio doors unlocked but closed. About every half hour, someone from the parents’ group would leave to check on their children.
A message book at the resort’s swimming pool reception area contained a note to block the same table for the McCanns and their friends each night for four evenings, with a message saying the children were sleeping in the apartments. Kate would come to believe that whoever abducted Madeleine must have seen the message book.
Another member of the Tapas Seven agreed to check on the McCann’s children around 9:30 p.m. He found the children’s bedroom door wide open, but since he didn’t hear anything, he left without checking to make sure the children were indeed in their beds.
<a class="c-link c-link--focus-visible" href="https://onelink.to/dwapp" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" data-stringify-link="https://onelink.to/dwapp" data-sk="tooltip_parent">CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILY WIRE APP</a>
Kate then completed her own check on the children around 10 p.m. and found her daughter missing. She quickly searched the apartment before running back to the restaurant screaming, “Madeleine’s gone! Someone’s taken her!”
By 10:10, a member of the Tapas Seven told the resort’s reception desk to call the police, and by 10:30, the resort began its missing child search protocol, which involved 60 staff members and guests searching the premises until 4:30 in the morning.
Portuguese police said they arrived within 10 minutes of being called. Kate said they arrived around 1 a.m. They also began searching for Madeleine, but many issues with the search would later come to light. Border and marine police were not given descriptions of the missing girl for several hours, and police didn’t conduct any house searches. Kate told media outlets that the roads weren’t blocked until 10 a.m. the morning after Madeleine disappeared. Surveillance images of vehicles leaving the resort on the night of the disappearance, or the surrounding roads weren’t requested, nor was the road monitoring company approached for information.
In addition, many people staying at the resort at the time weren’t immediately interviewed, with some contacting police on their own.
The crime scene was also not properly secured, with at least 20 people entering the apartment before it was blocked. The apartment was empty for a month after Madeleine’s disappearance before the resort began renting it out again. In August 2007 – nearly three months after the disappearance, the apartment was closed once again for additional forensic tests.
Just 12 days after Madeleine disappeared, a suspect was named. The man lived close to the resort and was seen outside the McCann’s apartment shortly after their daughter disappeared. The suspect’s home and cars were searched, and his associates were questioned, but nothing linked him to the disappearance, and he was eventually cleared, later suing authorities and receiving a large settlement.
As with most child abductions without quick answers, the parents became suspects. Media in Portugal and then the U.K. began suggesting the parents were involved in Madeleine’s disappearance and had made a “pact of silence” with the Tapas Seven. Forensic dogs were brought in to search the apartment and the car the McCanns rented, but their findings have been disputed.
Still, the McCanns were named suspects, with Portuguese police claiming they accidentally killed Madeleine and hid her body, with leaks to the media falsely claiming the evidence against them was stronger than it actually was. Despite being named suspects, the McCanns were allowed to return to the U.K.
On July 21, 2008, the Portuguese attorney general announced there wasn’t enough evidence to say the McCanns were involved in Madeleine’s disappearance, clearing them as suspects and closing the case. The McCanns, however, have never stopped looking for Madeleine, setting up <a href="http://findmadeleine.com/about_us/madeleines-fund.html#:~:text=Madeleine's%20Fund%20%2D%20'Leaving%20No%20Stone,the%20Voluntary%20and%20Community%20Sector." target="_blank" rel="noopener">Madeleine’s Fund</a>: Leaving No Stone Unturned Ltd just two weeks after their daughter disappeared. It has since raised nearly £750,000.
The family has also hired several private investigators throughout the investigation and beyond, while the U.K. has conducted several additional probes – none of which have found Madeleine.
The most significant break in the case came in 2020, when police named “Christian B” <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/police-in-uk-have-massive-breakthrough-in-madeleine-mccann-kidnapping-cold-case-name-suspect" target="_blank" rel="noopener">as a suspect</a>, later identified <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/15-years-after-madeleine-mccann-disappeared-official-suspect-named-as-deadline-looms" target="_blank" rel="noopener">as Christian Brueckner</a>. Brueckner is from Germany and is currently in prison for drug offenses, as well as a seven-year sentence for the rape of an elderly woman. Jim Gamble, a former British police officer who in 2010 led an official review of McCann’s disappearance, said in April 2022 that phone data put Brueckner near the scene of the crime within a 30-minute timeframe. Brueckner had also allegedly stolen from vacation homes in the area, with children’s clothing reportedly found in his vehicle.
“I think the circumstantial evidence that I know exists is extremely strong … I wouldn’t be surprised if charges follow,” Gamble noted. “It would just be fantastic to be able to give the McCanns peace of mind so far as knowing exactly what happened.”
Brueckner, however, denies any involvement in Madeleine’s disappearance.

Let’s face it, fathers are under attack in today&#8217;s culture. The Left would like you to believe that they don’t matter, or worse, that having strong dads is somehow bad for the country. 
You know that’s a gosh darn lie and that fathers — and father figures — are worth celebrating. 
Here are five gift ideas for Father’s Day 2023 to honor your dad, stepdad, or other patriarchal kings in your life. 
Jeremy’s Razors 
Your dad is one handsome man.

Just remember, these gifts aren’t for beta males — which your dad isn’t.
Good Ranchers
It’s a bad day to be a cow, but a great day to be your dad with this gift. Get your dad a subscription or one-time purchase of a box of beef, steak, chicken, and more from our good friends over at Good Ranchers.
As Good Ranchers explains, “Due to a broken food system that inflates prices and imports poor quality meat, America’s tables haven’t been full of great food for a while.”

Dr. Jordan Peterson’s Lobster Tie 
Is any Father’s Day gift list complete without a tie? Well, that depends on you how define the word “complete,” as Dr. Jordan B. Peterson might say. 
Regardless of the philosophical implications of that question, The Daily Wire has just the tie you need: The Lobster Tie. 
This stylish lobster tie is perfect for any formal occasion — especially as summer rolls around — and it offers a chance to subtly own the libs by giving a nod to the legendary clinical psychologist seen by many young men and boys around the globe as a fatherly figure. 
It comes in red, blue, and black and can be purchased <a href="https://store.dailywire.com/collections/jordan-peterson/products/lobster-tie?variant=40486434144316" target="_blank" rel="noopener">here</a>. 
Just Follow Matt Walsh’s Advice
Dads tend to become creatures of habit. That makes gift-giving somewhat easy if you pay close attention. For this fourth recommendation, listen to a father of six, The Daily Wire’s own bestselling LGBTQ children’s author Matt Walsh.
In short, keep it simple. Get your dad what he likes. 
As the host of The Matt Walsh Show <a href="https://twitter.com/MattWalshBlog/status/1604913410667413519?s=20" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a>, “Dads are the easiest to shop for. Every dad has like two or three basic presents that he likes. Just get him one of those. Dads just want the same gifts for every occasion. The worst thing you can do for a dad is put too much thought into the gift. Stick to the classics.”
Take it from Walsh. He is a dad after all. 
“I say this as a dad myself, and also as someone with a dad who has received essentially the same small array of gifts for every gift-giving occasion, every year, for the past three decades because that&#8217;s all he wants,” he <a href="https://twitter.com/MattWalshBlog/status/1604913694055481344?s=20" target="_blank" rel="noopener">explained</a>. 
&#8220;For me: whiskey, cigars, fishing reels and rods, flannels, gift cards to book stores,” Walsh <a href="https://twitter.com/MattWalshBlog/status/1604914104526929935?s=20" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a>. “That&#8217;s literally all I want. I want no other things.” 
Again, don’t overthink it, folks. This isn’t rocket science — unless your dad is Elon Musk.
“Old Glory” Daily Wire Baseball Bat
Summer is here, baseball is back, and Old Glory still waves. Make your dad feel like a real American with The Daily Wire’s “Old Glory” baseball bat. 
It’s a timeless classic. 
This collaboration with Pillbox Bat Co. takes us back to the early days of baseball, before participation trophies and woke politics. We raise a glass to hot dogs and Cracker Jacks, our National Anthem, and &#8220;Take Me Out To The Ballgame&#8221; — because baseball is the greatest sport and still America&#8217;s national pastime.
There’s no crying in baseball, but your dad might shed a tear of joy when he opens this bad boy. 
He can hang it in his office, keep it around the home, and every now and then glean inspiration from America’s wonderful heritage. 
Plus, he’ll also think of you — which is always a win. Buy <a href="https://store.dailywire.com/products/old-glory-daily-wire-baseball-bat" target="_blank" rel="noopener">here</a>.

A Democrat-<a href="https://www.cleveland.com/open/2018/09/poll_from_liberal_think_tank_s.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">linked</a> polling group is &#8220;keeping quiet&#8221; about its findings from a survey that shows Americans oppose transgender procedures on children, a new report claims.
The Daily Mail <a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-12078013/Dem-linked-pollsters-tried-BURY-survey-showing-voters-OPPOSE-trans-procedures-kids.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">says</a> it &#8220;gained access&#8221; to an invitation-only web event hosted by San Francisco-based <a href="https://changeresearch.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Change Research</a>. During the event, the group unveiled the new poll results, with the group leaders then &#8220;privately hatching plans to &#8216;educate&#8217; the public by &#8216;rebranding puberty blockers.'&#8221;
Change Research, which conducts mostly online surveys, has done polls for Democratic political candidates as well as organizations such as the NAACP and AFL–CIO.
The Mail also said they were invited to join the webinar, then uninvited, but &#8220;we attended anyway, after registering with a personal email address.&#8221; What&#8217;s more, the U.K. paper reported that the group&#8217;s marketing chief, Molly McInerney, said they would &#8220;not be making these results widely available&#8221; and asked attendees not to &#8220;share these findings.&#8221; The Mail also reported that the firm had already declined the paper&#8217;s request to see the findings before the webinar.
&#8220;The webinar indicated that Change Research wanted to conceal its results — with the stated goal of reshaping US attitudes on gender ideology and trans treatments on kids,&#8221; the paper said.
The poll of more than 1,200 voters conducted between April 28 and May 2 found that a majority (60%) of Americans believe sex is assigned at birth and that can&#8217;t be changed, according to the Daily Mail. Fifty-six percent also oppose prescribing puberty blockers to children and 60% oppose sex-altering surgeries, such as breast removal.
Just a third of those surveyed support such procedures on children.
But the poll also reportedly found Americans were reasonable about the issue. Those surveyed appeared willing to allow children to get sex-reassignment counseling with their parents involved. They were also OK with other treatments as long as they were reversible.

But those polled opposed &#8220;&#8216;permanent&#8221; or &#8220;physical, non-reversible changes to the body.&#8221;
&#8220;It means butchering a human body to try and change a person&#8217;s sex as determined by the CHROMOSOMES through biology,&#8221; said one respondent. &#8220;A person is and always shall be the sex assigned by their chromosomes, and nothing will change that.&#8221;
Lead pollster Betsy App called the results &#8220;bad news.&#8221; &#8220;I want to give us all a reality check,&#8217; App reportedly told the online session. &#8220;We are facing an uphill battle when it comes to voters&#8217; fundamental beliefs about the relationship between sex and gender.&#8221;
App, a mother of three including a &#8220;gender creative first-grader,&#8221; told the online session they need to use the term &#8220;gender affirming care,&#8221; calling it a &#8220;great term that we should continue using&#8221; because it resonates with the public.
But she said &#8220;puberty blockers&#8221; should be abandoned. &#8220;One of the key next steps is rebranding puberty blockers,&#8221; she said. &#8220;This is a term that&#8217;s not doing us any favors.&#8221;

Liberal Pollsters Try To Bury Poll That Found Americans Oppose Transgender Procedures On Children: Report

Poll

A Bronx mother has been charged with second-degree manslaughter and endangering the welfare of a child after her 7-year-old daughter drowned in a pool while the mom drank alcohol at a hotel bar.
Erica Baez, 41, is being held without bail following an incident that occurred on January 13, 2022, at a Marriott Hotel in Melville, New York, the New York Post <a href="https://nypost.com/2023/05/16/bronx-girl-7-drowns-in-hotel-pool-as-mom-drinks-at-bar-prosecutors/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported</a>. On that fateful day, Baez allegedly left her 5-month-old baby alone in the hotel room and her 7-year-old alone in the pool as she ate and drank.
Baez had been staying at the hotel with her boyfriend and two children. The boyfriend had left for work in the morning, the Suffolk County District Attorney’s Office said, according to the Post. Around 3:30 p.m., Baez allegedly asked hotel staff to open the indoor pool so her daughter, Katlyn, could swim. Workers warned the mother that there was no lifeguard on duty and that she’d have to stay with her daughter.
Baez allegedly left her daughter to go to the hotel bar, where she consumed an alcoholic cocktail, leaving her daughter alone in the pool for 30 minutes, according to prosecutors. Baez went to check on her daughter but again left her alone when she returned to their room to check on the baby, who had also been left alone. Baez then allegedly returned to the hotel bar and had a second cocktail, leaving her daughter in the pool again for another 30 minutes. This time, when Baez went to check on the girl, she found her “floating lifeless in the pool,” according to the district attorney.
But prosecutors alleged that Baez didn’t leap into the pool to try to save her daughter. Instead, she allegedly removed her shoes and socks and secured her phone before taking Katlyn out of the pool. First responders soon arrived, and Baez allegedly lied to them, saying she had only left Katlyn for five minutes. Katlyn was in cardiac arrest and had no pulse, WABC <a href="https://abc7ny.com/drowning-death-nyc-mom-indicted-long-island-hotel-erica-baez/13255933/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported</a>. EMTs revived Katlyn, but she was left with irreversible brain damage due to lack of oxygen, the Post reported. She had to be placed on a ventilator and feeding tube for two months following the incident, the district attorney’s office reportedly said.
Katlyn died on May 1, 2023, after spending more than a year on life support. She had become septic, the Post reported.

Baez was arrested on May 15 and charged with second-degree manslaughter and two counts of endangering the welfare of a child for her actions, the district attorney’s office said. On Tuesday, she pleaded not guilty.
“The alleged actions of this defendant were selfish, senseless and heartless,” District Attorney Raymond Tierney said in a statement, according to the Post. “We are going to do everything we can to ensure that justice is served for little Katlyn, whose short life ended too soon.”

New York

Social media users lit up <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/twitter" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Twitter</a> on Tuesday following reports that the U.S. Department of Agriculture was weighing a proposal that would ban providing chocolate milk for school kids in the cafeteria.
A headline tweeted by the <a href="https://nypost.com/2023/05/15/usda-weighs-ban-on-chocolate-milk-in-school-cafeterias/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">New York Post</a> read, &#8220;USDA weighs ban on chocolate milk in school cafeterias,&#8221; which the piece noted has already been adopted in major cities like San Francisco and Washington, D.C. The proposal would ban the product in elementary and middle school cafeterias across the country, <a href="https://www.wsj.com/articles/got-chocolate-milk-kids-washington-might-take-it-away-in-schools-b4c9b29e?mod=hp_lead_pos2" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Wall Street Journal</a> reported.
One official — Erica Lauren Kenney, a public health and nutrition professor at the Harvard TH Chan School of Public Health — told WSJ, &#8220;From a public-health perspective, it makes a lot of sense to try to limit the servings of these flavored milks because they do have quite a lot of added sugar.&#8221;
Opponents have questioned the ban and noted the ridiculousness of taking a &#8220;product that most kids like and that has nine essential nutrients in it and say, &#8216;You can&#8217;t drink this, you have to drink plain?’”

Lori Vallow Daybell, the Idaho mom on trial for killing her kids and conspiring to kill her fifth husband’s first wife, was found guilty on all counts Friday afternoon.
The jury deliberated for less than a day before finding Vallow Daybell guilty of murdering her daughter, Tylee Ryan, and adopted son J.J. She was also found guilty on three counts of conspiracy to commit murder, one for Tylee, J.J., and her fifth husband’s first wife, Tammy Daybell, KSL5-TV reporter Dan Spindle reported.

Vallow Daybell’s husband, Chad Daybell, goes on trial later this year. He faces the same charges.
Earlier this week, <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/doomsday-mom-accused-of-killing-her-kids-was-lounging-by-pool-in-bikini-when-asked-to-prove-they-were-alive" target="_blank" rel="noopener">a video</a> dated January 25, 2020 shows Vallow Daybell relaxing by a pool in Kauai, Hawaii, when she is approached by authorities with paperwork from Madison County, Idaho, the New York Post <a href="https://nypost.com/2023/05/10/doomsday-mom-was-relaxing-in-bikini-when-she-was-served-court-order-video/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported</a>. The paperwork demanded Vallow Daybell prove her children, 16-year-old Tylee Ryan from a previous marriage, and 7-year-old adopted son J.J., were safe.
In the video, Vallow Daybell can be seen shaking her head at the court order and then shrugging when a police officer asks if she has any questions.
Relatives had been searching for the children since September 2019, when Vallow Daybell, along with Tylee and J.J., moved to Rexburg, Idaho, to be closer to Chad Daybell, the author of several doomsday books, who said a voice told him to move there for the second coming of Christ. On September 8, 2019, Vallow Daybell and her brother Alex, took Tylee and J.J. to Yellowstone National Park. Tylee was never seen alive again.
Two weeks later, on September 23, J.J., who is autistic, was last seen at his school in Idaho. The next day, Vallow Daybell informed the school that he would be homeschooled instead.
Shortly after this, Chad’s wife Tammy was found dead in her home. Her death was initially ruled to be natural, but police have since opened an investigation into the matter.
Less than a month after Tammy died, Vallow Daybell married Chad Daybell in Hawaii.
Three weeks later, after Vallow Daybell and Daybell returned to Idaho, police conducted a welfare check on J.J. at the request of his grandmother. According to police, Vallow Daybell said that J.J. was with friends in Arizona and that Tylee had gone to Brigham Young University-Idaho. People then began to question where J.J. and Tylee had gone, and suddenly, Vallow Daybell and Daybell packed up and traveled to Hawaii on the same day police began searching for the children, court documents indicate.
Not long after, on December 12, Vallow Daybell’s brother Alex died in Gilbert, Arizona, due to a reported blood clot. His death was not investigated further, as the condition ran in the family.
On December 20, police in Rexburg, Idaho, officially announced an investigation into the disappearance of J.J. and Tylee. A month later is when Vallow Daybell was served a court order to produce the children within five days.
When the deadline to produce the children passed, police began laying the groundwork to arrest Vallow Daybell. They did so on February 20, 2020, arresting Vallow Daybell in Kauai and charging her with two felony counts of desertion and nonsupport of dependent children.
It wasn’t until June 9, 2020, when police searched Chad Daybell’s property in Idaho, that the bodies of Tylee and J.J. were found. Daybell tried to flee the scene but was caught and charged with two felony counts of destruction, alteration, or concealment of evidence.
Vallow Daybell faces life in prison for her role in the murders.

Lori Vallow Daybell Was Lounging By Pool In Bikini When Asked To Prove Kids Were Alive

Salt-N-Peppa hitmaker Cheryl &#8216;Salt&#8217; James has revealed that early in her career she was pressured to get an abortion and said that her decision to have her daughter was the &#8220;best thing&#8221; she ever experienced next to finding Jesus.
The 57-year-old singer and her singing partner Sandra &#8216;Pepa&#8217; Denton — from the famed female rap duo of the 80s and 90s — appeared on &#8220;The Tamron Hall Show&#8221; and shot down claims that women can&#8217;t be moms and balance that with a successful career, something they had both managed to do, <a href="https://www.billboard.com/music/music-news/salt-n-pepa-cheryl-james-abortion-career-tamron-hall-show-exclusive-1235324600/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Billboard</a> magazine reported.
&#8220;And that was why we are true to who we are,&#8221; Denton said. &#8220;They could recognize &#8217;cause we wanted to be moms and we was moms.&#8221;

&#8220;We said, &#8216;We can do it&#8217; and whatever came my way, I handled it, which was taking the good with the bad … &#8217;cause someone has to do it!&#8221; she added. &#8220;When they think it can&#8217;t, they panic, the labels and people. &#8216;Oh my god, how are you gonna? The sales! Sales, sales!&#8217; But you know, we did it.&#8221;
James admitted &#8220;they [the record label people] do get scared I don&#8217;t think I&#8217;ve ever said this out loud, oooh Tamron! I was actually asked to have an abortion — I won&#8217;t say by who.&#8221;
&#8220;But to your point, yeah, you just have to know that it&#8217;s something that you&#8217;re capable of handling if you want a kid and you want to have a career,&#8221; she added. &#8220;And it&#8217;s definitely harder.&#8221;
&#8220;Having my daughter, besides finding Jesus, is the best thing that I&#8217;ve ever experienced, my kids,&#8221; Cheryl continued. &#8220;Like, I needed that lil&#8217; baby in my life, you know? She kept me company on the road.&#8221;
James shares two kids with ex-husband Gavin Wray. Denton has a daughter with ex-husband Anthony Criss. She also has a son from a previous relationship.
Other celebrities with successful careers like pop singer <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/pink-was-told-having-kids-would-ruin-her-career-explains-why-she-had-them-anyway" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Pink</a> recently revealed she was told having kids would ruin her chances of reaching fame.
&#8220;Everyone told me, &#8216;If you have children right now, your career&#8217;s over,'&#8221; Pink recalled.
&#8220;Obviously, we&#8217;re all much more complex than any of that, but when I had a child, I think it softened me to the world, the part that didn&#8217;t understand me,&#8221; she added. &#8220;And I think that&#8217;s when my career began, really.&#8221;
&#8220;I mean, I did a lot of stuff before that, but really, truly, I think it&#8217;s when I started to really understand myself and understand the world and my place in it,&#8221; the singer continued.
Pink is married to husband Carey Hart and they share two kids together.

A Democrat who twice ran for governor of Maine has pleaded guilty to charges of possessing child pornography.
Eliot Cutler, 76, pleaded guilty to the charges on Thursday after authorities discovered thousands of images of children under the age of 12 being sexually abused in his possession. He will serve nine months in jail for four counts of possessing sexually explicit material of a child under 12.
“My behavior helped to support an industry built upon their abuse, and I hope with all my heart that they can find healing and dignity,” Cutler said in court, <a href="https://apnews.com/article/maine-cutler-child-sex-abuse-images-5795d7ff63b9da673bd707537022a548" target="_blank" rel="noopener">according to the Associated Press</a>.
His arrest warrant stated there were “literally thousands of videos of very young children being sexually abused,” <a href="https://www.wmtw.com/article/plea-agreement-eliot-cutler-child-porn-charges/43772221" target="_blank" rel="noopener">according to WMTW</a>. Cutler will report to Hancock County Jail on June 1 to begin his sentence. Once released, he will have to register as a sex offender for the next 10 years and will be on probation for six years, with his internet activity subject to monitoring. His electronic devices, home, email, offices, and vehicles, will also be subject to random searches, the outlet reported. In addition, he will have to pay $5,000 to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children.
Cutler, an attorney, was a former aide to former Sen. Ed Muskie (D-ME). He also worked in the Office of Management and Budget during former President Jimmy Carter’s administration. Cutler also ran twice for governor of Maine, self-financing his campaign but losing twice to Republican Paul LePage. In 2010, he lost by 10,000 votes. In 2014, he placed a distant third.
Cutler also gave heavily to Democratic candidates and PACs, including donations to former President Barack Obama and Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT).
Cutler’s attorney, Walter McKee, told media outlets that his client’s life achievements would be nullified to so many people due to the charges, saying the punishment goes beyond serving time in jail. Cutler himself provided no excuse for his behavior and said he was “embarrassed, ashamed, and deeply, deeply sorry” for his actions, the AP reported.
“I failed to meet my obligations to myself, to my family, to my friends and to civilized society,” Cutler added.

Hancock County District Attorney Robert Granger told reporters after Cutler pleaded guilty that he knew many would think the punishment wasn’t severe enough.
“There’s a lot of commentary from folks in the public that are enraged by the conduct. But unfortunately, we just can’t jump to a maximum sentence in these types of situations,” Granger said.
He told reporters that the sentence is in line with similar cases from the past decade.
