by LauraLoo It is my pleasure to rerun this video from a couple years ago as it is one of my all-time favorites.  From the father’s perspective, here is he and his wife’s short but amazing 99-day journey with their son, Eliot. They are immensely thankful for each day they had with their terminally ill […]

by Carder I lost my mom a little less than a year and a half ago to cancer. Obviously, I got very lucky that even though I lost my mother, I lost her later in life, but it’s still had a profound effect on me…. I’ve always wanted to be a mom. I had a great […]

• A legislator in China has called for public hospitals to provide free abortions to students:
  

  Wei Aimin, a deputy of the Beijing People’s Congress and a lawyer with Beijing Dangdai law firm, told Beijing-based Morning Post that many students seeking abortions went to underground clinics to prevent their parents and teachers from finding out and because they could not afford to go to large hospitals.

  “All public hospitals in the city should offer abortions to pregnant students for free or for a minimal charge of 100 yuan,” Wei was reported as saying, “So they are not forced to go to cheaper unlicensed clinics.”

• Down on the Pharm shares some information that probably should have been brought to women’s attention much sooner – Plan B and ella aren’t as reliable for females who weigh more than 176 pounds:
  

  The European manufacturer of Norlevo, which is their version of Plan B (Levonorgestrel) has very kindly decided to warn people that their product does not work for women over 176 lbs, and is less effective for women over 165 lbs….

  In fact, people ALSO could learn here that the newer morning after pill, Ella (ulipristal acetate) has the same problem….

  It appears that Mother Jones is the first of the mainstream media to let the kitty out of the bag in the United States. They note that the average weight of American girls is 166.2 lbs, which puts them over the weight limit for Plan B to work at its touted 60 percent effectiveness. The avg weight of Black and Hispanic women from 20-39 years of age is 186 lbs, which means that they can completely forget about Plan B.

  Any hospital or clinic using this drug as a part of rape treatment is therefore pushing ineffective treatment and charging fraudulently. Planned Parenthood and its ilk are doing the same.

Feminists for Life holds to the slogan, “Women deserve better than abortion.” And they do. Foster says, no […]
