 "This
woman is dying. She quite possibly is suffering from mental illness
from the effects of her disease on top of it all. And we're racking up
likes and shares all over social media, gushing about bravery and
compassion and strength. Is this the same culture that mourned the death
of Robin Williams en masse just last month? Was his suicide not
heralded as brave because his illness was depression and not cancer?" |
 "When
Sarah had her first surgery – a major neuro- and craniofacial surgery
(cranial vault reconstruction) at the age of six months – it was yet
another pivotal moment in my personal journey of reconciling what
appears to be unnecessary pain and agony…of a child." |
 "Every
day, I took the same route to my house from the Planned Parenthood
facility I managed. The marshals that came to provide “safety training”
for us once a year recommended we change up our route home. They came to
warn us about how dangerous the pro-lifers were outside our facility.
Ha." |
 Few
issues divide more sharply than abortion. Longstanding friendships and
family relationships can rupture over the pro-choice/pro-life debate.
But on the International Day of the Girl Child, we should agree to bury
the hatchet on two issues: the ending of gendercide through
sex-selective abortion, abandonment, deadly neglect, and murder of
females because of their sex; and the ending of forced abortion, which
is not a choice. |
 The
Pennsylvania couple that carried out a heartbreaking bucket list for an
unborn baby with a terminal condition announced the birth of the boy
today, and his death a few hours later. |
 "My
name is Ella. I’m 10 years old and in a wheelchair. If you found out
that the baby you’re expecting has spina bifida or won’t be able to walk
for other reasons, you’re probably scared. I know I was scared when I
stopped being able to walk because I didn’t think I could have a good
life. All I could think about were all of the things I could never get
to do. That’s just because I had never seen the life of anyone like me." |
 Following
Justice Anthony Kennedy’s stay on a “gay marriage” court decision in
Idaho, marriage advocates are imploring the Supreme Court to reject the
judicial redefinition of marriage. |
 A
team of Harvard scientists said Thursday that they had finally found a
way to turn human embryonic stem cells into cells that produce insulin.
The long-sought advance could eventually lead to new ways to help
millions of people with diabetes. |

If
you spend any time on Facebook then you’ve probably seen Brittany
Maynard’s face pop up on your newsfeed over the last few days. And your
Facebook friends sharing links to stories about her have probably
included supportive and adoring captions like the one I just saw a
couple of minutes ago: “Wow. What an inspiring story! Brittany, you are
so brave!!”

An
extraordinary thing happened when Gwendolyn Strong went to school. She
made perfectly ordinary friends. Gwendolyn was born with Spinal Muscular
Atrophy (SMA), a fatal, degenerative disease that affects all voluntary
muscles. Her parents worried that a simple infection picked up at
school could kill her. And they worried that no one would want to be
friends with the little girl in the wheelchair.

 China's
one child policy announced in 1979 is state sponsored violence against
women and children—including and especially the girl child—and
constitutes massive crimes against humanity. |
