Posted on: January 25, 2011
Headmistress links to a New York Times article about a care facility that uses common sense and compassion when dealing with senile people – sometimes to the consternation of bureaucrats.
The Anchoress shares a video in which an elderly lady discusses, with deadpan humor, some of the challenges of growing older.

This will be one of those ‘added to as time allows’ posts.
First off, St. Blogustine: 2011 March for Life in Washington DC. (hat tip: comment in yesterday’s post.)
Headmistress at The Common Room is writing some very good, cut-through-the-clutter posts prompted by the horrors uncovered at Gosnell’s Philadelphia abortion facility, but also addressing abortion issues in general. See, for instance this, and this.
Good News for Unborn Children (Even if You Can’t Find It In The News!).
Like father, like son. A mother refuses to abort her baby, in part because her husband also survived against the odds. (hat tip: Parenting Freedom, via Oregon Right to Life Facebook post.)
Obama corrupts language, and gets called out on it. (hat tip: Mere Comments.)
Philadelphia Grief: Jim Daly of Focus on the Family recounts some history from 38 years ago, and also looks at the evil found in Philadelphia. From the 38 years ago file, President Nixon was caught on tape saying that he thought there were times abortion might be necessary, including (he said) in cases of interracial pregnancy. (At least I haven’t heard that ‘reason’ for abortion in a while.) He has a picture of the top of the front page of the New York Times from the day the ruling was announced. Interesting. LBJ’s death got top headline.
Also from Jim Daly – how Christians view a person as made in the image of God, and why this makes a difference. Includes a look at Peter Singer’s reasoning, and a history lesson from Tim Keller on early Christians versus the world they came into.
