| Mother with two uteruses has twins
Posted: 20 Sep 2011 10:05 AM PDT Most twins share a uterus before birth. That wasn't the case for a set of fraternal twins born recently in Florida - because their mother has two uteruses, an exceptionally rare condition known as uterus didelphys. |
| Don't Ask Don't Tell Repeal in Effect; Defense of Marriage Act Next on Chopping Block? Posted: 20 Sep 2011 09:53 AM PDT  The controversial policy referred to as "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" was repealed today, making it acceptable for gay and lesbian military personnel to serve openly for the first time in U.S. history. One lawmaker wonders if, now that DADT has been struck down, if it was not time to target the Defense of Marriage Act. |
| Planned Parenthood shutting its doors in multiple Texas locations Posted: 20 Sep 2011 09:30 AM PDT  A Texas affiliate of Planned Parenthood will close four centers in south Texas thanks to the bill pro-life Gov. Rick Perry signed revoking taxpayer funding for the nation’s biggest abortion business. |
| Blogger Claims Evangelicals Don't Believe Life Begins at Conception Posted: 20 Sep 2011 09:21 AM PDT The debate illustrates a curious fact: pro-life evangelicals say that life begins at conception and abortion is murder. But they don't actually believe it. It makes little sense to reject pacifism, to insist abortion is morally equivalent to the organized slaughter of millions of children and then to say that violence should never be used to end abortion. |
| Pro-life forces rally for "heartbeat bill" in Ohio Posted: 20 Sep 2011 09:18 AM PDT Pro-life activists plan a rally at the Ohio statehouse on Tuesday to support passage of what would be the most restrictive anti-abortion law in the country -- a bill that would ban abortions after a fetal heartbeat is detected. |
| Catholics asked to fight birth control mandate
Posted: 20 Sep 2011 08:04 AM PDT The Catholic church regards contraception as illicit because it artificially splits sex from the possibility of procreation. And Catholics and evangelicals who believe pregnancy begins at conception regard “day-after” birth control as indistinguishable from abortion. |
| Scientists appeal on embryonic stem cell funding Posted: 19 Sep 2011 01:54 PM PDT Two scientists on Monday appealed a ruling that permitted federal funding of human embryonic stem research to go forward, an effort by the U.S. government to try to find cures for deadly diseases using aborted babies. |
| Touchdown for adult stem cell therapy
Posted: 19 Sep 2011 12:30 PM PDT Colts QB Peyton Manning caused a stir with reports that the NFL star recently travelled abroad to undergo a cutting edge therapy using adult stem cells to reduce inflammation in his injury sites. |
