As a product of the Florence Crittenton Home for Unwed Mothers, I have powerful, pro-life beliefs.
Had my birth mother made a choice not to carry me to term, I would have never breathed fresh air, been raised by a wonderful farm couple in Iowa, served in the US Army, been a customer engineer for IBM or a police officer in Tulsa, Oklahoma, had a 20-year successful award-winning broadcasting career, served 12 years as a US congressman or ended my work career as vice president of Forensic Technology Inc.
Three terrific young people are walking this earth as a product of the choice my birth mother made more than 85 years ago.

So much for smooth sailing.
Jeff Bezos — who has pledged to spend billions of dollars to help fight climate change — nonetheless owns a $500 million superyacht that generates thousands of tons of carbon emissions each year, according to a new analysis by Indiana University researchers.
The Amazon founder’s 417-foot sailing yacht “Koru,” produces an astounding minimum of 7,154 tons of greenhouse gasses annually — roughly 447 times the entire annual carbon footprint of your average American, the Indiana researchers found.

Pope Francis asserted Sunday that global warming is contrary to God’s plan and presents a significant risk to all “life on earth.”
“Besides war, our world is threatened by another great danger, that of the climate, which puts life on Earth, especially for the future generations, at risk,” the pontiff stated in a written text, which was read aloud by his aide Monsignor Paolo Braida following the weekly Angelus prayer.
“And this is contrary to the plan of God, who created everything for life,” he added.

The rationale behind the original initiative, called Measure 110, was that decriminalizing hard drugs would make access to treatment easier for addicts, according to The Telegraph.
Currently, support for Measure 110 in Oregon, the first state to take the step of decriminalizing hard drugs, appears to be waning, according to the outlet. Whereas Measure 110 was backed by 58 percent of voters in November 2020, a recent Emerson College poll revealed that public opinion has swung drastically, with 56 percent of voters now saying they would back a repeal,

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said there was no deal yet to secure the release of some 240 hostages held by Hamas “as of now,” and dismissed “a lot of incorrect reports” in recent days about imminent agreements to free at least some of the hostages.
In a lengthy Saturday evening press conference, Netanyahu said that if a deal emerges, the Israeli public will be updated.
The Washington Post reported Saturday that Israel, the United States and Hamas were “close” to an agreement that would free dozens of women and children held hostage in Gaza in exchange for a five-day pause in hostilities.
