Many have written in asking about why new content isn't being added to our web site. We sent out a note on FYFNews (our email newsletter) that we would be taking a break in adding new content for a few weeks while we made a transition in content management software.
As usual, things did not go as smoothly as we would have liked. However, we are nearing completion of the transition. With the completion of a few more components, we should be making the switch very soon. more >>
The ethical storm over abortions has been renewed as it emerged that terminations are being carried out for minor, treatable birth defects.
Late terminations have been performed in recent years because the babies had club feet, official figures show.
Other babies were destroyed because they had webbed fingers or extra digits.
Such defects can often be corrected with a simple operation or physiotherapy.
The revelation sparked fears that abortion is increasingly being used to satisfy couples' desire for the 'perfect' baby.
A leading doctor said people were right to be 'totally shocked' that abortions were being carried out for such conditions. more >>
After months of hard work from citizen lobbyists, coalition leaders and thousands of concerned citizens around the country, the Broadcast Decency Enforcement Act of 2005 (S. 193) passed by unanimous consent in the Senate during the evening session of May 18.
The legislation raises fines from the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) for broadcast decency violators from the current slap-on-the-wrist of $32,500 to a painful $325,000, which will hopefully make programmers think twice before airing offensive material that is out of step with standards considered appropriate for the public square. more >>
State health officials on Wednesday shut down a Birmingham abortion clinic after investigating a complaint that a woman was told she was six weeks pregnant and was given an abortion-inducing drug, then delivered a 6-pound, 4-ounce stillborn child at a hospital.
The State Board of Health issued an emergency order of license suspension against Summit Medical Center of Alabama on Southside.
"That's not something we do very often," said Dr. Donald Williamson, state health officer. "The incident involved multiple and serious violations of the rules. There was no other means to address it except an emergency suspension."
Parents are angry and school leaders are promising action in response to a "Heterosexual Questionnaire," approved by two teachers, that asked students questions such as: "If you have never slept with someone of your same gender, then how do you know you wouldn't prefer it?" more >>
A WOMAN is pregnant with Britain’s first designer baby selected to prevent an inherited cancer, The Times can reveal.
Her decision to use controversial genetic-screening technology will ensure that she does not pass on to her child the hereditary form of eye cancer from which she suffers.
Although they did not have fertility problems, the woman and her partner created embryos by IVF. This allowed doctors to remove a cell and test it for the cancer gene, so only unaffected embryos were transferred to her womb.
Comments: The amazing thing I noticed in this article is that they freely admit or call the "cancer-free" entity inside the mother's womb a baby, but conveniently switch back to the safe "embryo" when discussing the experiment, and those who were discarded.
A fire destroyed the Tubbs Hill Church of Christ in rural Walker County early Thursday and state and federal investigators continue to search for its cause.
The church's preacher, who has led a congregation there since 1969, couldn't believe the sight as he looked at his charred sanctuary from the adjacent cemetery Thursday morning.
"It's surreal. Did it really happen?" asked Wheeler Pounds, who now leads a congregation of 25 to 30 mostly older people. "Are we really looking at what we think we are looking at?"
The age of state-sponsored liberal eugenics has just officially begun. On April 29, 2006 Medical News Today announced that Case Law School was receiving $773,000 from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) to “develop guidelines for the use of human subjects in what could be the next frontier in medical technology—genetic enhancement.”
Professor of law and bioethics Max Mehlman will lead a team of law professors, physicians, and bioethicists in a two-year project aimed at exploring guidelines for altering the human species through genetic enhancement. This development signals an ominous shift in tax-funded genetic science. more >>
While the news media focused on immigration last week, California Democrats focused on completing the transmutation of public-school social science curricula into a punctuated series of pro-homosexuality tracts. On May 3, the state Senate education committee held hearings on SB 1437, a bill that would require K-12 students to study the contributions of "people who are lesbian, gay, bisexual, or transgender, to the economic, political, and social development of California and the United States of America, with particular emphasis on portraying the role of these groups in contemporary society."
SB 1437 would also prohibit textbooks, materials, or activities that "reflect adversely" on gays and lesbians and nix the inclusion of "any sectarian or denominational doctrine or propaganda contrary to law." more >>
