Differences Between Hospice Care and Pallative Care
"Palliative care is a resource for anyone living with a serious illness, such as heart failure, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, cancer, dementia, Parkinson's disease, and many others. Palliative care can be helpful at any stage of illness and is best provided from the point of diagnosis. In addition to improving quality of life and helping with symptoms, palliative care can help patients understand their choices for medical treatment. The organized services available through palliative care may be helpful to any older person having a lot of general discomfort and disability very late in life. Palliative care can be provided along with curative treatment and does not depend on prognosis." . . .
"Although hospice provides a lot of support, the day-to-day care of a person dying at home is provided by family and friends. The hospice team coaches family members on how to care for the dying person and even provides respite care when caregivers need a break. Respite care can be for as short as a few hours or for as long as several weeks. . . . In the United States, people enrolled in Medicare can receive hospice care if their healthcare provider thinks they have less than 6 months to live should the disease take its usual course. Doctors have a hard time predicting how long an older, sick person will live. Health often declines slowly, and some people might need a lot of help with daily living for more than 6 months before they die." Some Differences Between Palliative Care and Hospice

The NaPro Technology Revolution video
NaPro TECHNOLOGY (Natural Procreative Technology) is a major breakthrough in monitoring and maintaining a woman's reproductive and gynecological health. Thirty years of scientific research in the study of the normal and abnormal states of the menstrual and fertility cycles have unraveled their mysteries. When these systems function abnormally, NaProTECHNOLOGY identifies the problems and cooperates with the menstrual and fertility cycles that correct the condition, maintain the human ecology, and sustain the procreative potential.
Jane Doe of Roe vs Wade Never Had an Abortion
There is a 48-year-old woman, born in Texas, who should be dead right now. In fact, she should have never been born. Forty-three years ago, the Supreme Court decided that the Texas law that prevented Jane Roe from ending the life of her unborn daughter was unconstitutional. But by the time the Supreme Court issued its decision in 1973, she had already been born and adopted by a family—likely not knowing that all that ink spilled in Roe v. Wade was about her.
Norma McCorvey was “Jane Roe.” She claimed then that her pregnancy was the result of a rape, although she became outspokenly pro-life and publicly admitted that this, and virtually every fact on which her case was built, was a lie. Both McCorvey and Sandra Cano, the Doe of Doe v. Bolton--Roe’s companion case from Georgia decided the same day—became outspoken pro-life advocates who swore that their cases were built on lies.
But before the Supreme Court could decide whether McCorvey did have a constitutional right to end her unborn daughter’s life, it had to overcome a procedural obstacle that slowed down the process—a delay that factored into whether her daughter would ever have a family.
Because of that delay, McCorvey had already had the child by the time the Supreme Court issued its decision in January 1973. She had been adopted into a Texas home, perhaps somewhere in the Dallas area where McCorvey lived. The court nevertheless said that McCorvey’s case was not moot since her circumstances were “capable of repetition” because courts would never be able to decide the question during the time of a woman’s pregnancy.
Procedural history is never the exciting part of a lawsuit. But for McCorvey’s unborn daughter, the dry complexity of legal procedure is the reason she exists today. Fortunately for a three-year old girl, “the wheels of justice grind slowly,” and by the time the court issued its decision, a Texas family had adopted her. If the courts could have moved more quickly, she (and her family) would have never had that chance.
It is unknown to me whether the adoptive family ever even knew that their daughter was the supposedly unwanted child who was the subject of Roe. As far as we know, they raised her not knowing who she was and certainly never telling her. LifeNews
This week many are talking about the more than 60 million people whose lives have been brutally ended by abortion. And rightly so. The numbers are staggering. Imagine the average attendance at every NFL, NBA, and NHL game – gone. Eliminated. The population of the 18 states in the area from Arkansas and Wisconsin in the East to Idaho and Nevada in the west: gone. More than either the Hispanic or the African American population of the U.S.
It’s horrific. But it’s also personal. And today somewhere, maybe still in Texas, there lives a 48-year-old woman, perhaps with a family and a career of her own, with beautiful children that she loves dearly. Perhaps with a husband and family that can’t imagine life without her. The 58 million other babies deserved that same chance at life. Like McCorvey’s daughter, they were all created in the image of a loving God and would have been loved and wanted by someone. That’s why we fight. That’s #WhyWeMarch.

"BLACK LIVES MATTER" - So What About the Millions of Black Babies Killed in Abortion? We have experienced many advances made possible from contributions from members of the African American Community. . . . Yet, here in the 21st century, we are faced with an epidemic that threatens the Black community, and indeed the entire fabric of our nation in a manner that has never before occurred in our history. In America since 1973, over 58 million people, nearly 36% of these numbers being identified as African American people, have been denied the right to be born. Their innocent lives were ended as they were attacked in the sanctuaries of their mothers’ wombs – by the heinous scourge of abortion. Read more Alveda King niece of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr |

Cleveland Clinic IVF Goes High-Tech - Now Able to See Every Moment of an Embry's Development
The Cleveland Clinic has something new in the world of reproductive science. It's an Embryoscope. It is a high-tech incubator and time-lapse camera that captures the beginning of life. "Imagine you're able to see every minute of the embryo's development, even before it's transferred to the uterus, before it implants on the uterine wall you're able to see this embryo. It's never been possible before," says Dr. Nina Desaiof the IVF Clinic. Traditionally, Dr. Desai takes an embryo out of the standard incubator once a day to look at it under a microscope. But a lot can happen, when she's not looking, that she'd miss. The Embryoscope keeps the embryos in a "safe" and stable environment and tracks every second of their development. That gives doctors an even better chance to catch subtle changes. {Catching these "changes" allows the doctor to choose the embryos deemed unsuitable and destroy them.} "We're learning so much that we hadn't realized happens to an embryo as it grows so we are just blown away by this. It's an amazing, amazing technology." says Dr. Desai. read more about the Embryoscope |

The Pill’s Legacy: Sickness, Cancer, Blood Clots, Death
"The pill is packaged and sold as a panacea for the world’s problems and as a ticket to freedom for women. In reality, the birth control pill and other contraceptives are making women sick, disabling them, and even killing them.
In 2005, the World Health Organization listed the pill (estrogen-progestogen oral contraceptives) as a Group 1 cancer-causing agent that raises risk for breast, liver, and cervical cancers.
Lawsuits against contraceptive manufacturers continue to mount, and millions of dollars are being awarded to victims—mostly because of blood clots that cause strokes, heart attacks, and death.
New research and headlines continue to confirm that the pill kills. Young women schooled in the idea that contraception should be used to prevent pregnancy at all cost learn to think of babies as the enemy that will destroy their lives, then default to abortion when they find they are pregnant.
That fear of children that results from the contraceptive mentality, coupled with the abortifacient nature of the pill, is depopulating and destroying our society one child at a time." Pill

Women with a Predisposition to Crohn's Disease Who Take Birth Control Pills Are 300% More Likely to Develop the Disease: According to Study
A new US study has found that a huge increase in Crohn’s disease cases in women in the past fifty years corresponds to the introduction and widespread use of oral contraceptive pills since the 1960s.
Crohn’s disease is an incurable ailment affecting the digestive system characterized by abdominal pain, severe diarrhea, fever, fatigue, weight loss and malnutrition.
Harvard gastroenterologist Dr Hamed Khalili's study of 230,000 American women found that those who had used the pill for five years or more had a 300 percent higher risk of developing Crohn’s disease than those who had never used it.
Dr Khalili explained that while oral contraceptive drugs do not directly cause Crohn’s disease, the synthetic hormones have side effects that contribute to the higher risk he identified.
. . . . He said that genetic screening could dissuade women who have a genetic predisposition to Crohn’s from using the drugs. Crohn's

National Cancer Institute Researcher Admits Abortion Breast Cancer Link
U.S. National Cancer Institute researcher Dr. Louise Brinton, who was the chief organizer of the National Cancer Institute (NCI) workshop in 2003 that persuaded women that it was "well established" that "abortion is not associated with increased breast cancer risk," has reversed her position and now admits that abortion and oral contraceptives raise breast cancer risks.
An April 2009 study by Jessica Dolle et al. of the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center examining the relationship between oral contraceptives (OCs) and triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC), an aggressive form of breast cancer associated with high mortality, in women under age 45, contained an admission from Dr. Brinton and her colleagues that abortion raises breast cancer risk by 40%.
The study found that "a statistically significant 40% increased risk for women who have abortions" exists, and that a " 270% increased risk of triple negative breast cancer (an aggressive form of breast cancer associated with high mortality) among those who used oral contraceptives while under age 18 and a 320% increased risk of triple negative breast cancer among recent users (within 1-5 years) of oral contraceptives," also exists.

Artificially Produced Stem Cells 'Hold On' to Genetic Past
Are the new stem cell technologies too good to be true? New research suggests this may be the case.
Researchers at the Salk Institute for Biological Studies in La Jolla, California say they have found that induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells may retain the genetic memory of their previous life, which could restrict the possible uses of such cells in therapy.
The study, published in this week’s online edition of the journal Nature, found significant differences between the reprogrammed iPS cells and true pluripotent embryonic stem cells. Read more about these stem cells.

Abortion Pills Found More Dangerous Than Surgical Procedures
Chemical abortions using the drug RU-486 are more dangerous to mothers than surgical abortions, an Australian study has found.
Researchers who examined almost 7,000 cases found that 3.3% of the women who used the "abortion pill" for first-trimester abortions had complications sufficient to put them in hospital emergency rooms. The comparable figure for surgical abortions was 2.2%. The differences were even more pronounced among women whose post-abortion complications required a hospital stay. Read complete article
