Largest Protestant US group condemns IVF in win for anti-abortion movement | US news | The Guardian

The largest Protestant group in the US has condemned the use of in vitro fertilization, a move that is sure to inflame the already white-hot battle over IVF and reproductive rights in the aftermath of the overturning of Roe v Wade.

On Wednesday, during the Southern Baptist Convention’s annual meeting, delegates voted in favor of a resolution that urges Southern Baptists “to reaffirm the unconditional value and right to life of every human being, including those in an embryonic stage, and to only utilize reproductive technologies consistent with that affirmation”.

The resolution in effect calls on the Southern Baptist Convention – a group that includes nearly 50,000 churches and almost 13 million members – to avoid IVF.

Nosso amor de livro – O Outro Lado

Eu não troco a essência
E a paciência
Dedicação de amor
É isso

Eu vou contar história
De glória
Vou escrever a nossa história de amor
Num livro

Eu vou dançar na rua
Com a lua
Vou rabiscar seu nome
Nos muros

Eu vou cantar canções ao vento
Vou viajar no pensamento

Pro futuro

Quem sabe a nossa história
Ganha um final
Vira manchete de jornal
E vídeo com um poema para rimar
O amor da gente.

बेघर भटकैया / Homeless Wanderers – Kaushal Kishore

 

बेघर हो गए पक्षी स्वार्थी नहीं होते,

उजड़े ठूंठ पेड़ को वे तजते नहीं, बल्कि भटकते हैं,

उन घरों की तलाश में जिनके दरवाजे और खिड़कियाँ,

उनके मातृ-वृक्ष की शाखाओं से बने हैं…

🐦 🐦 🐦 🐦 🐦 🐦

The birds, unselfish, leave their barren tree,

Wandering homeless, but wild and free…

They search for homes with windows & doors,

Made from branches their mother once bore…
