- At Live Action News, Kristen Hatten reacts to a very disturbing Huffington Post article written by a man who says he is “not happy about” finding out his wife is expecting twin boys after they pursued IVF hoping for a (single) girl.
- Michael New has two great posts at National Review Online addressing emergency contraception, the Pill, and whether or not these methods of attempting to prevent unintended pregnancy actually work. New argues that what is truly needed is a more chaste culture.
- Clinic Quotes shares a startling admission from late-term abortionist Warren Hern (pictured left), who claims that “abortion, almost more than any other operation, demands experience to develop skill.” Despite this, CQ points out that “Planned Parenthood and other pro-choice organizations have push[ed] for laws allowing nurses and other non-doctors to perform them.”
- Culture Campaign shares the discovery of a deadly new strain of rapidly-progressing gonorrhea which is considered to be even more lethal than AIDS/HIV.
- Ethika Politika comments on a Wall Street Journal article by Sarah Elizabeth Richards, who believes that egg freezing is a good, no-strings-attached way of becoming a mother, without any need for a man:
The importance of Sarah’s story is to listen to Sarah herself. Sarah isn’t someone just “using” frozen eggs because it is the only way for her to have a baby. She is using it to fulfill her calling as a woman, to be a mother and to have children. These are the ideals that society and nature have always held up for women; it is very normative and correct. Yet, she seems to embrace this reproductive technology as a means to detach herself further from obligations to men (and to society) and to anything beyond her career. - Big Blue Wave shares a video created to oppose Quebec’s campaign to legalize euthanasia:

Jill Stanek is a nurse turned speaker, columnist and blogger, a national figure in the effort to protect both preborn and postborn innocent human life.
Non-doctors performing abortions? This might be the best idea yet. It could lead to full employment. People who would have been cleaning motel rooms or reciting telemarketing scripts can now do surgery! Wonderful!
Jill Stanek and others should strongly support this as it might finally scare some ladies away from aborting. Get up on that table and spread your legs and see the face of the woman or man who was cooking your French fries last week!
Euthanasia and abortion are no more connected than abortion and the death penalty. The VAST majority of aborted embryos and fetuses are healthy.
What’s more, euthanasia often involved people who WANT to die because of pain.
Finally, it is possible to see the death penalty as a kind of euthanasia for a disorder we are currently unable to treat: the disorder of psychopathy. It is also true that something like 2/3 of the condemned are never executed, partly because many of them die of natural causes on death row. One rapist-murderer with whom I used to correspond had been on death row for over 35 years.
Clicking through the links on the Gonorrhea story led to the CDC quote, “The bacterium can also grow in the mouth, throat, eyes and anus.” THE EYES!!!
I have been talking about this for years. This STD is not the only one that has been found in the eyes. Why does the CDC, so many of the medical profession, PP and other sex ed teachers promote “safe sex” and NOT talk about washing hands? Putting on and/or taking off a condom would put the bacterium on your hands and into whatever opening you might then touch. Yikes!
