Twins born at just 22 weeks gestation and given only a 10% chance of survival were able to return home, and almost a year later, are flourishing. Babies Kimyah and DJ were born so early that they had to spend almost five months in hospital before they were healthy enough to go home. For their mother, Kimberly Thomas, everything seemed to be going well during her pregnancy until, unexpectedly, she started leaking amniotic fluid. The 25-year-old mother from Bedford, Ohio, called her doctor as soon as she could and they quickly discovered she was already going into labour. At only...

Twenty-one members of Congress led by Rep. Doug Lamborn, (R-Colorado) filed a house resolution this past summer declaring that unborn children are legal and constitutional persons entitled to our nation’s laws of equal protection.

On Wednesday, District Judge Chris Abbott granted a temporary restraining order blocking enforcement of one section of a new state law that would require abortion clinics to be licensed by the state. The date HB 937 was to take effect was October 1. HB 937, sponsored by Rep.

(Evangelical Focus/Pro Medien Magazin) On 16 September, thousands of people took the streets of Berlin (Germany) to protest against abortion and for the right to life of the unborn. These marches and counter-protests seem to be similar year after year – but there are also differences. There is this one Saturday afternoon in September when Berlin – or rather the government district – follows what seems to be a consistent pattern. The reason is that pro-lifers gather for the annual “March for Life” in the capital city. Even before the pro-lifers meet east of the Brandenburg Gate, a few hundred...

Health-care costs are soaring, in part because the medical field is increasingly being put into harness to facilitate lifestyle and self-fulfillment desires. So the pressure is on to ration health care. If we are not careful, rationing could be wielded in an invidious manner against the very sick, elderly, disabled, and those seen as nonproductive. A prime rationing approach in this regard is known as the “quality-adjusted life year” (QALY) scheme. It works, very roughly, like this: Let’s say John is hit in the prime of life with a serious illness and that medicine A would likely give him...
