Breaking NewsWhy Pro-Lifers Oppose "Family Planning" To Reduce Abortion: Pro-Life Leader Jill Stanek Explains I'm often asked by pro-choice friends why pro-lifers oppose sex education, family planning, and contraception. Don't those approaches reduce unintended pregnancy and therefore the numbers of abortions? It's a question at the heart of efforts to achieve "common ground" on abortion. China Babies 'sold For Adoption' Dozens of baby girls in southern China have reportedly been taken from parents who broke family-planning laws, and then sold for adoption overseas. Al-Qaida-linked Thugs Now Executing Children Mother watches sons being dragged away News Agencies Gagging 'gay' Factor In Boy's Rape News coverage of a Duke University official accused of raping his adopted 5-year-old son and offering the child to someone else is apparently lacking what some say is a key piece of information: the fact the alleged perpetrator is a homosexual who lives with another "gay" man. 980,000 Unsafe Abortions Carried Out Each Year, 90% Involving Married Women While society refuses to discuss the medical aspects of the issue focusing instead on morality and religion, an estimated 980,000 unsafe abortions are carried out in Pakistan every year, with 90 per cent of them involving married women.

Ethical PerspectivesNew! Abortion in Canadian Literature: Comparisons with American Literature and Canada's Unique Contributions Jeff J. Koloze Perhaps the absence of critical discussion about abortion in Canadian literature can be attributed to greater attention to other themes which have occupied writers since the foundation of the country; one hopes that the absence of critical commentary on abortion is not due to squeamishness or lack of interest. Perhaps the absence is a symptom of a more serious literary illness: evidence of a national literature which still has not yet "arrived." Critics have suggested that such an inherent inferiority complex controlled late in the nineteenth century and continued until the first third of the twentieth. Debi Vinnedge In November 2007, two scientists Dr. Shinya Yamanaka and Dr. James Thomson published their studies describing a new stem cell technique that produced embryonic-like stem cells by simply reprogramming adult skin cells.1 Immediately, several bioethicists and pro-life leaders touted the iPS - or "induced pluripotent stem" cells to be an ethical alternative to embryonic stem cell research and human cloning. For if one could produce embryonic stem cells without destroying innocent human beings that would end the ethics debates once and for all. Or would it? Steven Mosher Politically motivated panels rarely produce good science, and the report of the All Party Parliamentary Group on Population, Development, and Reproductive Health of the U.K. Parliament is no exception. The report, Return of the Population Growth Factor: Its Impact upon the Millennium Development Goals, is a mishmash of justifications for the powerful of the world to continue to dictate the fertility of the powerless. It is even illustrated, in Science magazine's summary of the report, with a picture of a starving African child, presumably to drive home the authors' view that there are already too many Africans.
Donald DeMarco A good marriage is the basis for a good family. Since the family remains the fundamental unit of society, a good marriage plays an immense and indispensable role in providing essential benefits for society. The future of humanity passes through the husbands and wives whose invocations of life confer upon them the status of fathers and mothers. The quality of today's marriage is crucial to the quality of life for the next generation. A.I.R.V.S.C. Two studies on grief reactions relating to induced abortion are summarized in this Newsletter. One study describes pre-abortion and short-term post-abortion reactions. The other study describes long term reactions. These studies did attempt to use objective test methods and criteria to measure the multifaceted aspects of grief. This factor alone separates them from the vast majority of psychological studies reported in the literature. Tara Seyfer The ancient Greeks used the term to refer to a mythical creature with a lion's head, a goat's body, and a serpent's tail. Other chimeras included the faun (part man, part goat) and the minotaur (part man, part bull). Many chimeras inspired fear; for example, the minotaur lived in a labyrinth of caves and ate the flesh of men. Today, the word chimera evokes different fears, involving the ethical ramifications of experiments mixing humans and other species. There are two types of interspecies mixes: hybrids and chimeras.
Irving News Comments Dr. Miodrag Stojkovic's efforts to bring IVF to Serbia should be closely scrutinized by the government and by the people for any possible violations of a woman's informed consent. Barbara Kralis The bishop's inaction against pro-abortion politicians leads some to wonder why we need to pay for a 'Conference of Bishops' or an expensive USCCB organization, with hundreds of employees at their massive Washington, D.C. headquarters, when they have decided to each go their own way, agree to do their own governing and discipline regardless of what the Pope and Canon Law mandates?
