So, yeah. I’m asking for money. Except that we won’t actually ever see or touch any of it. It all just goes directly to the Crohn’s and Colitis Foundation of America, a private organization supporting research and education dedicated to helping those suffering from Crohn’s and ulcerative colitis to lead healthier, fuller [...]

Some things are just a little difficult to talk about with children. But some of these things can be deadly if not taken seriously. This post and the links associated contain very adult themes, but unfortunately discuss behaviors of children.

America, it seems, is bent on blaming everyone but the perpetrator for the crimes they commit. Yes, we will put them in prison, but we frequently view them as yet another victim of circumstances, not fully culpable for their crimes.

I don’t think I can really comment on this article. I find it too disturbing…Disabled Newborns Likely to Face Death, originally published in the AFA Journal.
