In this new story, the parents of premature twins are talking about what happened to their children since they were born just one week ahead of Britain’s legal abortion limit.

Nichola Baird, 30, was overjoyed when told she was expecting twins but Kyle and Jake arrived just 23 weeks into the pregnancy and thelegal limit for abortions in the U.K. is 24 weeks — and higher in some cases. Research shows that babies born before 24 weeks can survive but babies at this age range are killed in abortions each and every year.

The twins were born weighing just over 1lb – the equivalent of three apples and they were rushed to critical care in different hospitals due to complications. Both required operation to close a valve in their hearts and Jake needed an operation on his bowel at just 13 days old.

Miraculously, the tots were allowed home after 17 weeks in hospital and are now healthy .

Meet Jennifer Sullivan, a conservative Republican who just might be the most unlikely election winner you’re going to hear about this year.

Sullivan is 23. She’s still in college and she lives with her parents. She ran against much older opponents boasting a lot more money and more influential endorsements.

And she still won the Aug. 26 election by six points and will now serve a two-year term representing an area of about 150,000 constituents.

For Catholics, and for different reasons, that day has been Friday for centuries. For American school children, the trendy new day of forswearing carnivorous deliciousness is Monday.

“Meatless Monday” bills itself as an international campaign “launched in association with the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health.” It was founded by Sid Lerner, a longtime Madison Avenue advertising executive.

The goal is to convince people to choose to give up meat one day each week because, as the Meatless Monday website explains, it’s “fantastic for the planet.”

And so, in the semi-rural town of Dripping Springs, Texas, for example, school district officials are choosing to force kids to forgo meat and poultry.

It seems as though MSNBC is still trying to find a weekend use for Karen Finney after canceling her show. Finney, former DNC Communications Director and board member of NARAL, appeared on Up w/ Steve Kornacki on Saturday, September 7, to comment on news that Texas gubernatorial candidate Wendy Davis had an abortion 18 years ago.

The former MSNBC host insisted that Davis’ abortion story could be a political weapon for the candidate who is struggling to keep up with her Republican opponent. Finney proclaimed that “from a political standpoint, it is something that I think will resonate with moderate women.”

After host Steve Kornacki remarked that “Wendy Davis reveals in that memoir that she terminated a pregnancy 18 years ago for medical reasons” Karen Finney seemed confused over what to call Davis’ baby and awkwardly claimed that “they had named the child, right and she thanks the child in the, you could say fetus or child.”

The former MSNBC host went on to argue that Davis’ abortion could be a strong political tool as she attempts to rebuild her campaign:

I think that’s probably helpful for women who find themselves in the same situation and the women’s vote in Texas is very important. But also from a political standpoint, I think it’s wise, because she’s now defined the nature of the story. And I think it makes it that much harder for Greg Abbott or anyone else to try to cast her as some sort of evil person for having done this.

By Ericka Andersen.

Cosmopolitan magazine is getting serious this year. For the first time ever, the racy women’s reader will be endorsing candidates for office in their #CosmoVotes campaign.

As a dedicated subscriber of women’s magazines from Marie Claire to Women’s Health, I’m well aware of how they cover politics – usually focusing on one primary issue: abortion.

Will Cosmo buck the trend and cover issues fairly with opinions from both sides of the aisle? No, ma’am. They’ll be thumbing their noses at anyone who dares oppose the one issue they define all women by.

In an interview with Politico, Cosmo online editor Amy Odell said, “We’re not going to endorse someone who is pro-life because that’s not in our readers’ best interest.”

It’s ironic that a women’s magazine downsizes the female sex into a monolithic group that votes and thinks the same way on an issue as controversial as this. In reality, the country — including women — is split down the middle.
