Pro-Life Movie Review





     I saw Unplanned for the first time last night. It's not a movie to make you comfortable, and I loved it. The acting is just a bit cheesy at some points, but don't let that keep you from seeing it, or distract you while watching it.



    Prior to seeing Unplanned, I had seen Changing Sides, a documentary about Abby Johnson's conversion. It is excellent, as well, and increased my enjoyment of Unplanned. Changing Sides is available from Ignatius Press, or on Formed.org ($10 a month for a subscription, unless you're a member of a parish with a subscription, in which case it's free).



     Watch it, please.

Getting medical care while taking high-risk medication is not the biggest issue with taking an abortifacient, considering that a child is being killed. But at least it helps unmask that the FDA isn't concerned about women's health in the first place.  From Alliance Defending Freedom: Alliance Defending Freedom is representing four national medical associations, their members, and four individual doctors against the FDA for unlawfully removing crucial safety standards for pregnant women who use the abortion drugs mifepristone and misoprostol. Over the past eight years, the agency has removed nearly all of its originally required safety standards that ensured women and girls had ongoing medical care while taking these high-risk drugs. These safeguards included an initial in-person visit to screen for ectopic pregnancies and other serious conditions, and a follow...

My school's pin for practical nursing graduates      On Wednesday, August 26th, I officially graduated from nursing school. On the Monday prior, we had a private pinning ceremony. While searching for the text of the Nightingale Pledge, I came across the Wikipedia article on the pinning ceremony , which has some information I wanted to share.      Pinning is the official induction into the "brotherhood or sisterhood of nurses". Its earliest history dates from the 12th century during the crusades, when "monks initiated into the Knights Hospitaller that cared for injured and ill Crusaders were given a Maltese Cross". After the Crimean War, Florence Nightingale was awarded the Royal Red Cross by Queen Victoria, and the tradition further evolved from there.      At our ceremony, after each of us received our pin, we recited the Nightingale Pledge. It is so beautiful! Here is the version we recited (apparently a combination of the original and the ...
