South Dakota Law Linking Abortion, Suicide Upheld In Court | The Huffington Post A federal appeals court upheld a South Dakota law on Tuesday that requires doctors to tell women seeking abortions that the procedure causes an increased risk of suicide. The 8th Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that the provision is constitutional by a vote of 7-4. The seven judges in the majority were all appointed by former President George W. Bush. The abortion/suicide provision is part of a larger bill the South Dakota legislature passed in March 2005. A district judge granted a preliminary injunction against the law that year, and an appeals court reaffirmed the decision to block the law a year later in 2006. A Planned Parenthood spokesperson said the organization is “extremely disappointed” by the ruling. “Every reputable researcher and medical organization has determined that there is no sound scientific evidence that shows a cause and effect relationship between abortion and suicide,” said Sarah Stoesz, president and CEO of PPMNS, in a statement. “We are thrilled.
PETER KREEFT The problem of evil is the most serious problem in the world. It is also the one serious objection to the existence of God. When Saint Thomas Aquinas wrote his great Summa Theologica, he could find only two objections to the existence of God, even though he tried to list at least three objections to every one of the thousands of theses he tried to prove in that great work. One of the two objections is the apparent ability of natural science to explain everything in our experience without God; and the other is the problem of evil. More people have abandoned their faith because of the problem of evil than for any other reason. It is certainly the greatest test of faith, the greatest temptation to unbelief. The problem can be stated very simply: If God is so good, why Is his world so bad? The unbeliever who asks that question is usually feeling resentment toward and rebellion against God, not just lacking evidence for his existence. God is the source of all life and joy.
Lesson 1: The Number-One Study Technique for Mastering New Material and Reviewing Old Material Gary North, Ph.D. Back in the mid-1980's, I co-authored a book with a scientist. He did the research. I did the writing. A few years ago, he told me about an amazing little book he had read. He was re-admitted. My friend told me that his son had also adopted this technique. My friend taught his children at home. That year, his father assigned him a college-level physics textbook that was so advanced that it was too difficult for most freshman students, even in the best universities. His father had told him he was on his own. His father knew about Professor X's technique. This young man was highly motivated. Then he took the SAT exam. He kept using Professor X's technique whenever he hit a brick wall, just as he had with physics. He took the Graduate Records Exam (GRE) in chemistry. He received full scholarship offers at CalTech and MIT. Think what this means. Professor X's technique works. Here's what I learned from all this. Straight-A students should use this technique.
Setting the Scene for a Productive Day Once you’ve sunk into the warm embrace of your favorite chair after a long day, it can feel excruciatingly difficult to summon up the motivation to go out and exercise, grocery shop, or take in culture. It just seems like far too much hassle and effort to take action. So you stay put. Yet, when you go directly from your workspace to the gym, the grocery store, or an art gallery, completing the corresponding activities becomes next to effortless. On the opposite end of the spectrum, you may have an armchair tucked into a bay window overlooking a garden. In both instances, you didn’t command your mind to function in a certain way; your subconscious simply responded to the patterns of behavior associated with placing yourself in a certain location. When you leverage the fact that you have emotional and mental responses to specific places, you can dramatically increase your productivity. 1. 2. 3. How do I function when I’m connected or disconnected to the Internet? 4. Where Do You Stand?
