I Heard It Through the Grapevine

like the myth that vaccines can cause autism, there is no scientific proof that safe abortions are linked to infertility, breast cancer or other long-term medical issues. The Royal Australian College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists have shown through their studies that complications with legal abortion are extremely rare, and that serious fatalities occur less often with abortions than pregnancies that are carried to full term.

Mourning in the stomach-punch way only parents who bury their child understand, Carla Alcorn kept repeating that she loved her child. "He was an amazing musician and artist," she says. "He was an amazing boy." At age four, I realize my difference. Deep inside of me something flutters, and I realize …

Truly great literature can capture and control these emotions through the use of themes that will never disappear.

Why is someone kidnapped on vacation in Mazatlán? Then she produced an unlikely motive—DEA thinks it’s about moving drugs . . .
