When analyzing the source of FactCheck.org, one has to also take into account that the Annenberg owned site is ran through the Annenberg School for Communication which is a part of the University of Pennsylvania. UPenn, which I am calling it for abbreviation sake, is a liberally biased institution that has had its fair share of controversies in the past. In recent years, they have had several free speech issues, even though they were awarded the highest possible free speech rating by the Foundation for Individual Rights in Education.

I have been poor all my life, had four children, I never thought they were a burden, they are the light of my life,
I do believe in the soul and the sacredness of life of all forms, and I think the state of the human race today is the result of us losing our connection with the divine.
JMHO

24-Week-Old Fetus
(Posted 08/28/09 www.RemnantNewspaper.com) They weigh less than 3 pounds, usually, and are perhaps 15 inches long. But “they can remember,” reports Jennifer Harper of The Washington Times (July 16, 2009):

The unborn have memories, according to medical researchers who used sound and vibration stimulation, combined with sonography, to reveal that the human fetus displays short-term memory from at least 30 weeks gestation – or about two months before they are born.
"In addition, results indicated that 34-week-old fetuses are able to store information and retrieve it four weeks later," said the research, which was released Wednesday.
These findings were obtained by scientists from the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology at Maastricht University Medical Centre and the University Medical Centre at St. Radboud, both in the Netherlands, after a study employing “gentle but precise” sensory stimulation was made of 100 healthy pregnant women and their fetuses:
On five occasions during the last eight weeks of their pregnancies, the women received a series of one-second buzzes on their bellies with a "fetal vibroacoustic stimulator," a hand-held diagnostic device used to gauge an unborn baby's heart rate and general well-being.
The baby's responses – primarily eye, mouth and body movements – were closely monitored over the weeks with ultrasound imaging to gauge "fetal learning" patterns. The researchers found that the babies acclimated themselves to the sounds and vibrations to the point that they no longer bothered to respond – a process known as "habituation." "The stimulus is then accepted as 'safe' " by the babies, the study said.
In addition, the researchers discovered that the babies’ recognition skills improved as they grew older. Fetuses in the 34 to 36 week age group became “familiar with the hum outside the womb”:
"It seems like every day we find out marvelous new things about the development of unborn children. We hope that this latest information helps people realize more clearly that the unborn are members of the human family with amazing capabilities and capacities like these built in from the moment of conception," said Randall K. O'Bannon, director of education and research for the National Right to Life Educational Trust Fund.

And FactCheck isn't spin? Try to find anything negative about Obama on FactCheck.
I doubt you will because he is perfect.

Positive we are not related, is that a veiled attempt at insulting me?

This will be brought up again closer to the election. Especially if the Democrats continue to push the legitimate rape issue. Democrats know abortion is a losing issue nationally, but are not smart enough to help themselves.

Hand of Hope:
Arnas Samuel, who was diagnosed with spina bifida, a malformation that leaves no hope of survival, unless the use of an intrauterine intervention.
Dr. Bruner, after extensive research carried out in the Medical Center of Vanderbilt University in Nashville, Tennessee, announces that could make it, with the baby still in the maternal uterus.
During surgery the surgeon did a normal Caesarean, a small incision through the uterus which to operate the small Samuel.
Dr. Bruner was completing the intervention, which had gone well, when Samuel, through the cut, leaned his tiny little hand and attacked the doctor's finger amazed.
The New York Times named the photo "Hand of Hope"
Francis Sellers Collins (born April 14, 1950), is an American physician-geneticist noted for his discoveries of disease genes and his leadership of the Human Genome Project (HGP). He currently serves as Director of the National Institutes of Health in Bethesda, Maryland. Prior to being appointed Director, he was the founder and president of the BioLogos Foundation, an organization which promotes discourse on the relationship between science and religion and advocates the perspective that belief in Christianity can be reconciled with acceptance of evolution and science.[1] Collins also wrote the New York Times bestseller, The Language of God: A Scientist Presents Evidence for Belief, which discusses Collins' conversion from atheism to Christianity, evaluates the evidence for Christianity, and argues for theistic evolution.[2] In 2009 Pope Benedict XVI appointed Collins to the Pontifical Academy of Sciences.[3]
"The Language of God: Intellectual Reflections of a Christian Geneticist"
February 4, 2008, at The University of California, Berkeley
Presentation by Dr. Francis Collins, head of the Human Genome Project and director of the National Human Genome Research Institute. Dr. Collins presents a case for harmony between faith in science and faith in God. He also shares about his personal intellectual and spiritual journey from agnosticism, to atheism, and to Christianity.
PRINCETON, NJ -- The 41% of Americans who now identify themselves as "pro-choice" is down from 47% last July and is one percentage point below the previous record low in Gallup trends, recorded in May 2009. Fifty percent now call themselves "pro-life," one point shy of the record high, also from May 2009.
Doctors were not optimistic after little Amillia's early arrival which occurred after a very careful cesarean section birth. She was just too tiny and in many instances a baby born this early is not given life saving care as the chances are so small that they will survive. Luckily for this baby, hospital staff did put her immediately on oxygen and into an incubator. She has continued to surprise and amaze those who have cared for her as she pulled through when no one expected her to.
