• Big Blue Wave describes how use of the NuvaRing contraceptive seriously impaired the health of US Olympic hopeful Megan Henry (pictured left), a skeleton skater, who spent ten days in the hospital suffering from life-threatening blood clots (pulmonary embolism). This sidelined her training and dashed her hopes of qualifying for the Olympics.
• Clinic Quotes says a descendant of Margaret Sanger is continuing her legacy for “reproductive freedom”:
  

  Alexander Sanger, abortion advocate and descendent of Planned Parenthood founder and controversial figure Margaret Sanger, said the following:
  “Reproductive freedom is vital to humanity. It is even more vital than all the other freedoms that we cherish – freedom of religion, freedom of thought and speech, and the freedom to live our lives as we see fit. Humanity has these freedoms, or should have them, because they add to human happiness and make for a better world. So does reproductive freedom.”

  Really? Even more important than freedom of thought is the freedom to kill one’s children before birth? Remind me again… which side is extreme?

I’m in heaven; that’s why we chose her name Sky… She’s beautiful. We’re very happy… Open adoption is very important for us…. We will raise her with all the love we have. ~ Priscilla Devries (pictured) and Richard Dros, parents from the Netherlands who have adopted a second baby from the United States, as featured […]

• Judie Brown shows examples of a “dysfunctional America” which glorifies “convenience, self-gratification, and tolerance” through an onslaught of messages which, at one time, would have shocked the human conscience.

Case in point: a Facebook meme created by the Care2 organization which attempts to denigrate the pro-life positions on contraception and rape (pictured left). Brown refers us to pro-life blogger Mindy Goorchenko, who says the meme would be accurate if the child were the one portrayed as the flotation device:


Abortion is actually like falling into the water with an innocent child and using him as a flotation device. He dies, while you manage to climb back on shore and dry off.

You do this even while there is a dock just a few feet away which can provide safe harbor until you are able to not only ensure the child’s survival but your own.

Rather than teaching people how to jump with both feet into the treacherous waters as adolescents, along with the often ineffectual life jackets that are notoriously misused by children and adults, we should teach them to avoid the rapids until they are able to swim more effectively, and preferably with a buddy.

A committed buddy, who would sacrifice their own life for yours.

• Matthew Hennessey on the unnaturalness of abortion:
  
  

  (Abortion) is a lot of things. Natural, it is not.

  Yet, somehow the politics of this have gotten all turned around. The greenies are in league with the pro-abortion people. The same ones who promote all-natural living—organic fruits, locally-grown vegetables, hormone-free milk, free-range chickens, solar panels, wind turbines, etc. — are usually the same ones who want to make sure that women everywhere have unlimited access to synthetic compounds — gemeprost, methotrexate, mifepristone, misoprostol, etc. — that cause abortions.
