could potentially make them prejudice against anyone who receives an abortion. One of the stories on My Abortion My Life shows this shame of religious practices. “[She] was 18 when [she] had the abortion... It 's taken [her] a long time to come to terms with what happened 26 years ago. [She has] always wanted children, but [her] education (or lack thereof), and the shame and guilt [she has] felt by a Catholic upbringing ripped that away from [her]” (“Sharing Our Stories”).

I am convinced that one of the main reasons that you've made such good progress with LAP and taking a cane again, is that you got your backside clattered both regularly and properly by your uncle. In a similar way to the lads at school being disappointed not to see stripes across your buttocks when you'd been caned, I am always surprised that the welts from my best efforts have almost faded away before I've even left for the evening! Well Mark, if you want to make a longer lasting impression,…

A boy named Doodle from the book, The Scarlet Ibis, was born with that kind of syndrome. He had to face many trials throughout his life, which unfortunately led to his death.
