Actress...*

A Dallas teacher who was fired when her past as a pornographic actress was exposed on social media says she was a teenage victim of “sex slavery” and that she wants her teaching job back.

The teacher was dismissed from her job at Balch Springs Middle School. The dismissal letter cites her work in “adult content media” that’s available online.

Woodward appealed to the Texas Education Agency, saying she was in an “abusive relationship” with a man who forced her into pornography, describing herself as “young, stupid and afraid.”

The agency is reviewing Woodward’s case. An ethics code requires Texas teachers to have good moral character.  The question is does this line of work is considered Un-ethical?

Jane Roe...*

Norma McCorvey, whose legal challenge under the pseudonym “Jane Roe” led to the U.S. Supreme Court’s landmark decision that legalized abortion, died at the age of 69.

McCorvey was 22, unmarried, unemployed and pregnant for the third time when in 1969 she sought to have an abortion in Texas, where the procedure was illegal except to save a woman’s life.

The subsequent lawsuit, known as Roe v. Wade, led to Supreme Court’s 1973 ruling that established abortion rights.

Decades later, McCorvey underwent a conversion, becoming an evangelical Christian and joining the anti-abortion movement.

The woman, a Mexican citizen living in El Paso and identified by her initials I.E.G., received a protective order against an allegedly abusive partner accused of attacking her in at least three increasingly violent incidents she reported to police. 

County Attorney Jo Anne Bernal said. “The last incident involved her partner chasing her with a knife,” which he then allegedly threw at the woman but missed, Bernal said.

The ICE spokeswoman said the woman had a “lengthy criminal history with at least eight convictions on charges including false imprisonment, assault, domestic violence and illegal re-entry,” and had been deported six times.

Legal and domestic violence advocates in Texas have blasted the arrest of an undocumented transgender woman, who was detained by immigration agents after appearing in court for a protective order against an alleged abuser.

This is an extensive use of the court and police resources by someone who should not be in the country to begin with. No one would be blasting any body if they are paying the cost from their own pocket.

Reporting...

Six civilians suffered breathing difficulties and other symptoms indicative of poison gas inhalation after an attack launched by Turkey on the Kurdish-controlled enclave of Afrin, local doctors and Syria's state-run news agency reported Saturday.

State-run news agency SANA and the Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights monitoring group also quoted local doctors in their reports.

A White House official said the United States is aware of the reports but cannot confirm them, and thinks it is "extremely unlikely" Turkey used chemical weapons against the Kurds. The official called for the protection of civilians.

 Every one is reporting every thing happened or didn't to alienate some against the other. However, people's suffering continue in the worse intervention by foreign powers in a small country.
