Honestly, who here is surprised that this anti-abortion group resorted to lying to get their point acrossed? I know I'm not. And some wonder why a lot of people don't trust the anti-abortion/pro-life movement

Catholics should not feel they have to breed "like rabbits" because of the Church's ban on contraception, Pope Francis said on Monday, suggesting approved natural family planning methods.

I mean...maybe it was his idea for her to get pregnant, whether she wanted to or not.

"We have increasingly recognized that newborn outcomes are not uniform between 37 and 42 weeks," Dr. Jeffrey Ecker said.

Babies delivered between 37 weeks and 39 weeks of pregnancy will now be considered "early term," according to the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists.

"Full term" infants will be those born between 39 and 41 weeks.
