Obama Does Not Consider Abortion Survivors "Persons"
2008-07-05 12:38:00 Great article from the Wall Street Journal:According to Barack Obama, Gianna Jessen shouldn't exist.Miss Jessen is an exquisite example of what antiabortion advocates call a "survivor." Well into her third trimester of pregnancy, Gianna's biological mother was injected with a saline solution intended to induce a chemical abortion at a Los Angeles County abortion center. Eighteen hours later, and precious minutes before the abortionist's arrival, Gianna emerged. Premature and with severe injuries that resulted in cerebral palsy. But alive.Had the abortionist been present at her birth, Gianna would have been killed, perhaps by suffocation. As it was, a startled nurse called an ambulance, and Gianna was rushed to a nearby hospital, where, weighing just two pounds, she was placed in an incubator, then, months later, in foster care.Gianna survived then, and thrives now, because, as she told me recently with a laugh, "I guess I don't die easy." Which is what the abortionist might have...

"Survivors" or "Victims"
2008-04-22 18:30:00 The Pope's impromptu planned visit last week with victims of clergy sexual abuse has been widely reported. In a New York Times report on April 16 entitled, "Abuse Victims Not Placated by Pope", Becky Ianni, a 50-year-old abuse victim said, ?He talks about feeling shame for the scandal but it?s a far cry from the shame that victims have had to live with our entire lives. We don?t really need his sense of shame." She's right, of course. Yet many news outlets reported all week that the Pope visited with the "survivors", not the "victims." It seems to me that calling the victims "survivors", even though they truly are, softens the terrible act and does more to add to the shame that Ms. Ianni and so many others do note need to endure.Shame on the news media. These individuals are victims of abuse, even if they are also survivors of despicable actions of individual members of the clergy.Enough said.

Protect Breast Cancer Survivors From Discrimination
2008-04-21 00:33:00 Did you know that there is a genetic test that can help people find out if their family history of breast cancer may be due to a genetic mutation?Unfortunately, if you are tested - and your results are positive - there are very few federal protections preventing insurance companies from denying you coverage due to your genetic condition. This has led many to forgo testing, denying them important information that could help them manage their health and the health of their families. But there is something we can do to change this! The Senate is debating a bill called the Genetic Information Nondiscrimination Act (GINA), which would make it illegal to discriminate based on genetic information.Click here to urge your Senator to support fair access to preventative treatments!Preventing these protections could cost lives - lives of real people like Bridget Mooney.Bridget Mooney graduated in 2005 with a degree in International Relations from Boston University.

Dragon boat racing best long-term therapy for breast cancer survivors
2008-02-02 11:58:00 According to a health researcher at McGill University, the best long-term therapy for breast cancer survivors has nothing to do with doctors or self-help books, but dragon boat racing. The study, conducted by Dr. Catherine Sabiston of McGill’s Department of Kinesiology and Physical Education, stated that all the breast cancer survivors who participated in a dragon boat racing reported significantly improved physical and mental health and coped better with post-recovery trauma. “For these women, the diagnosis and treatment of cancer were devastating. There was a huge amount of stress, which continued with the treatment and the worry of recurrence. They live every day with the worry ‘Could this be the day my cancer comes back?’’ Sabiston said. With the encouragement of Sabiston’s University of British Columbia colleague Dr. Don McKenzie, a number of dragon boat teams made up of breast cancer patients of varying ages and backgr...

Suharto to wipe out the communist party and secure his position as leader of Indonesia, now the world's most populous Muslim nation."They gunned them down and dumped their bodies in a mass grave dug by other prisoners. I remember the sound of the guns clearly: tat-tat, tat-tat, tat-tat ... over and over again," said Talam, 68, who was later jailed for 10 years after being named a leftist sympathizer.Estimates for the number killed during his bloody rise to power , from 1965 to 1968 , range from a government figure of 78,000 to 1 million cited by U.S. historians Barbara Harff and Ted Robert Gurr, who have published books on Indonesia's history.

All plants grow close to the ground, minimising the battering effects of cold. desiccating winds - the polar willow (Salix polaris), for example, grows flat on the ground. Heat is trapped in clumped plants - the temperature in the centre of a clump of moss campion may 22 degree C (40 degree F) higher than the surrounding air. Moss campion's narrow leaves cut down moisture loss, and so do leaves pressed close to a stem, such as the arctic bell heather's.
