My Five Impossible Proposals to Prevent Global and Civil War, by John Zmirak

By John Zmirak, The Stream - Usually when I write something, I try to make it unassailable, to nail down and pre-refute each objection I can imagine, so that if the reader isn’t convinced by the end of it, he is at least intimidated into a sullen, reverent silence. I don’t aim to start debates, but I do love to end them... However, this week I am on the road ...

By Bob Unruh, LifeNews - There was a court case that challenged the approval by the Food and Drug Administration of the use of mifepristone, the abortion drug that is widely used as a replacement for surgical abortions... The Supreme Court ruled that the drug should be available, but the ruling was on very narrow grounds, and was based only on the court’s claim the pro-life physicians who brought to challenge didn’t show they had been harmed personally because it would be others who actually used the drug... Now there’s going to be a new review of the drug by the FDA itself.
