Here are some links to a couple news stories I found interesting. Always chosen for impact on the lives of those who are into Natural Family Living…
HPV Vaccine Creates Parental Challenge
“It’s a little bit like putting money in the college fund. You don’t put money in the bank when they’re already in college,” says Alexander, who also believes the HPV series of shots is “the most important vaccine to come along since the measles vaccine, in terms of the misery it will prevent.”
I wonder how much Alexander is being paid to shill for this vaccine by the Big Pharma interests who shoved it on the populace???
Antidepressants During Pregnancy May Affect Baby
Ya think??
Heart Problems for babe when Momma takes anti-d’s during pregnancy…
But dang it that momma is NOT depressed, so it is worth it for the babe to suffer….right???
FDA Weighs Drug to Stop Premature Birth
Momma does NOT need more drugs, she needs to nourish her body and slow down her life!

Up Against the Wal-Mart: Big buyers make organic farmers feel smaller than ever
I love Wal-Mart, and I trust Free Market Principles to make everything fair. It may not seem fair to those organic farmers who have enjoyed a thirty percent markup for the past 25 years, but market forces are best for the consumer, and ultimately keep things balanced for the producers as well. I am looking forward to the day when we have no corporate welfare for the food producers in our society. They have simply ravaged the landscape in the midwest.
Petitioning for Life
The Web site of Ms. Magazine–yes, it still exists–is calling on readers to sign a petition: “I have had an abortion. I publicly join the millions of women in the United States who have had an abortion in demanding a repeal of laws that restrict women’s reproductive freedom.”
Well, so much for the right to privacy. If Ms. readers hadn’t had so many abortions, there might be more Ms. readers. As for the rest of us, here’s a petition we could all sign: “I wasn’t aborted.”
Having narrowly escaped being aborted, I’d be the first in line.
Great insights from Julia Gorin
Terrorise this
“Nicole Kidman and 83 Hollywood heavyweights are using the power of the press to speak out against terrorism.
She has joined 84 other high-profile Hollywood stars, directors, studio bosses and media moguls, including News Corporation chairman Rupert Murdoch, has taken out a powerfully-worded full page advertisement in today’s Los Angeles Times newspaper.”
‘Esteemists’ blind to basics of life
“Life is about contrasts. Happy and sad. Winners and losers. Pleasure and pain. Without bad days, how will you recognize good days when they come around? But to self-esteem despots, life is a even-steven proposition. Everyone, regardless of talent or temperament, perseverance or personality, is treated equally, even when they manifestly are not.
The Associated Press recently recounted some of the horror stories arising from self-esteeming running amok. Many schools don’t let children talk about sleepovers unless every child in the room has been invited.”
These goons have not only socialized and equalized the schools, they are now attempting to control rights of association. Pathetic…
WHAT PART OF THE WAR ON TERRORISM DO THEY SUPPORT?
Ann Coulter – “This year’s Democratic plan for the future is another inane sound bite designed to trick American voters into trusting them with national security”
Why liberals are crushing dissent
Kevin McCullough “Perhaps that’s why this week in one of the boldest moves yet by a sitting liberal, Democrat California Assembly Speaker Fabian Nunez proclaimed, in effect, that the real purpose of SB 1437 is to outlaw traditional perspectives on marriage and family in the state school system.
He said, “The way you correct a wrong (perspective) is by outlawing. ‘Cause if you don’t outlaw it, then people’s biases tend to take over and dominate the perspective and the point of view.”
Academic Frauds
Carrie Lukas – “Women’s studies courses are different. They tend to abandon rigorous analysis in favor of consciousness-raising exercises and self-exploration. One textbook explains that women’s studies “consciously rejects many traditional forms of inquiry, concepts, and explanatory systems; at the same time, it is developing new and sometimes unique traditions and authorities of its own.” Those “unique” traditions include providing students with “credit for social change activities or life experience, contracts of self-grading, diaries and journals, even meditation or ritual.”
This is too flaky for some students. The textbook warns of potential resistance to these teaching methods. Students may commit such sins as challenging facts in an effort to “undermine the credibility of feminist reading materials and instructors.” In other words, students aren’t supposed to read texts critically and reach their own conclusions. They are supposed to accept without question the materials and views of their instructors.”
SSRI Stories
Read it and weep…
eBay prohibits textbooks
for homeschool teachers
“One blogger noted that public school interests have been opposing homeschooling more and more, as homeschooling has grown substantially in recent years. Recent estimates have put homeschool attendance in the U.S. at more than 2.5 million. And the same comment noted book publishers also dislike having the products re-sold.”
The Marxists who run the text book companies do NOT like having their corporate profits diminished by wacky home schoolers who re-use and recycle those poor little trees. No, our friends in the textbook publishing business want everyone to pay $120.00 per hunk of wood pulp, just like every other education establishment that buys new books every year. Our Marxist friends enjoy the fruits of capitalism as much as anyone else….
Achilles’ Heel
“But Centanni and Wiig’s brief interlude as practicing Muslims is revealing in a larger sense. Ever since 9/11, the western multicultural mindset has been desperately trying to swaddle Islam within the fluffy quilt of diversity. It’s “just” another religion, like the Congregationalists and Episcopalians. To be sure, it’s got a few hotheads, but haven’t we all? Sticking with this line requires an awful lot of brushing under the carpet and there’s so much under there by now it looks like a broadloomed Himalayas. For a start, you can’t help noticing the traffic is mostly one-way: In Dr. Mahathir’s country, where a long English Common Law tradition is under sustained pressure from sharia, a lady called Lina Joy is currently enduring death threats and a long legal battle because she committed the “crime” of converting from Islam to Catholicism.”
Our Fallout-Shelter Future
Stanley Kurtz
“The most egregious American doves don’t even bother to think out a position on the prospects for deterrence in a post-proliferation world. Implicitly, however, like their realist counterparts, the Howard Dean doves are proliferation optimists. Whether they’ve thought it through or not, their policy preferences require them to believe that a nuclear Iran can be deterred on the model of the Cold War.”

Tom Nichols: The Clinton Administration and Iraqi WMD Intel in 1998
“First, let’s start with the one thing on which everyone–and this means everyone, including the UN, the French, and even the most angry critics of George Bush–can agree: the Iraqis had weapons of mass destruction at some point. We know this because they used them in battle, and by their own admission, they copped to owning thousands of liters of all kinds of nasty stuff. We also know that Saddam had an active nuclear weapons program, delayed but not destroyed by an Israeli strike in 1981.”
Getting a Good Night’s Sleep: Another Perspective
“Advising parents to ignore the cries of a distressed child, for however long, does not produce a loving and trustful parent-child relationship. I wonder how many of us would want our partners or friends to treat us this way, if we were alone at night and feeling upset and frightened.”
Seek Ye the Kingdom of God
“I hope that all of you will remember that on this Sabbath day you heard me bear my witness that this is God’s holy work. The vision given the Prophet Joseph in the grove of Palmyra was not an imaginary thing. It was real. It occurred in the broad light of day. Both the Father and the Son spoke to the boy. He saw Them standing in the air above him. He heard Their voices. He gave heed to Their instruction.
It was the resurrected Lord who was introduced by His Father, the great God of the universe. For the first time in recorded history, both the Father and the Son appeared together to part the curtains and open this, the last and final dispensation, the dispensation of the fulness of times.
The Book of Mormon is all that it purports to be—a work recorded by prophets who lived anciently and whose words have come forth “to the convincing of the Jew and Gentile that Jesus is the Christ, the Eternal God, manifesting himself unto all nations”
