• Another sad development for Democrats for Life of America. They’ve endorsed Tim Kaine in the U.S. Senate race in Virginia and Steve Pestka in the Congressional race in a district in Michigan. Neither of these candidates call themselves pro-life. In fact, Kaine’s web site says this:
  

  I strongly support the right of women to make their own health and reproductive decisions and, for that reason, will oppose efforts to weaken or subvert the basic holding of Roe v.

  Does Democrats for Life have any kind of standard on who they endorse?

The sex of a foetus can be determined during the second trimester.

• A girl from Arizona with hypotonia (aka Floppy Baby Syndrome) is walking after receiving a transplant of her own cord blood stem cells and physical therapy.
• In other cord blood stem cell news, a Florida newspaper has a long story on a toddler who is part of an FDA-approved clinical trial to see if children’s own cord blood stem cells can help them with sensorineural hearing loss.

Fox News reported today that a Texas high school coach faces felony charges after giving the morning-after pill to one of her underage 16-yr-old students. There’s the first reason not to make the morning-after pill easily available to adults: Just because an adult buys it doesn’t mean an adult will take it. Shippensburg University in […]

Hat tip to Secular Pro-Life for making this odd discovery. Women & Teens Healthcare, located in North Miami Beach, Florida, offers both surgical and RU486 abortions. It also sells the HCG diet. HCG, or human chorionic gonadotropin, is the first hormone produced after conception. It is what turns a pregnancy test positive. HCG is first […]
