abortion
CRIME: A recent study on the relationship abortion of poor, minority babies has to a declining crime rate (see ALL news release) provoked the following comment from Karen Cooper of Washington state’s NARAL: “NARAL believes the study by Steven Levitt and John Donohue III reinforces the positive effects of legalized abortions for children, families and society.”

INDIA: The Indian minister of social justice ordered the release of 50 primates from a laboratory of animal science in Hyderabad, thus halting pre-clinical toxicity studies of an anti-cancer drug. The monkeys are alleged to have had too little space for exercising. The Indian Social Justice Ministry says that “animal welfare does not contradict advancement of medical research, provided the rules are respected.”

selective reduction
TOO MANY BABIES: Researchers examined counseling techniques employed with parents who have undergone fertility treatments and are carrying more than two babies. They point out that emotional factors involved when parents agree to fetal reduction must be considered. They conclude “The decision for reduction from triplets to twins may not necessarily change pregnancy outcome but should still be discussed as an option for the parents. Continued efforts need to be made to reduce the overall number of iatrogenic high-order multiple gestations.”

Cardinal John Newman on being unworldly children of God:
I will not shrink from uttering my firm conviction that it would be a gain to this country were it vastly more superstitious, more bigoted, more gloomy, more fierce in religion, than at present it shows itself to be. Not, of course, that I think the tempers herein implied desirable, which would be an evident absurdity; but I think them infinitely more desirable and more promising than a heathen obduracy, and a cold, self-sufficient, self-wise tranquility.

Cardinal John Newman on being unworldly children of God:
I will not shrink from uttering my firm conviction that it would be a gain to this country were it vastly more superstitious, more bigoted, more gloomy, more fierce in religion, than at present it shows itself to be. Not, of course, that I think the tempers herein implied desirable, which would be an evident absurdity; but I think them infinitely more desirable and more promising than a heathen obduracy, and a cold, self-sufficient, self-wise tranquility.
