Scientists Restore Walking After Spinal Cord Injury
Spinal cord damage blocks the routes that the brain uses to send messages to the nerve cells that control walking. Until now, doctors believed that the only way for injured patients to walk again was to re-grow the long nerve highways that link the brain and base of the spinal cord. For the first time, a UCLA study shows that the central nervous system can reorganize itself and follow new pathways to restore the cellular communication required for movement. The lead researcher said, "This pessimistic view [that severe injury to the spinal cord means permanent paralysis] has changed over my lifetime, and our findings add to a growing body of research showing that the nervous system can reorganize after injury."
Day 1
Mommy, I am only 8 inches long, but I have all my organs. I love the sound of your voice. Every time I hear it, I wave my arms and legs. The sound of your heart beat is my favorite lullaby.
Day 2
Mommy, today I learned how to suck my thumb. If you could see me, you could definitely tell that I am a baby. I'm not big enough to survive outside my home though. It is so nice and warm in here.
Day 3
You know what Mommy, I'm a girl!! I hope that makes you happy. I always want you to be happy. I don't like it when you cry. You sound so sad. It makes me sad too, and I cry with you even though you can't hear me.
Day 4
Mommy, my hair is starting to grow. It is very short and fine, but I will have a lot of it. I spend a lot of my time exercising. I can turn my head and curl my fingers and toes, and stretch my arms and legs. I am becoming quite good at it too.
Day 5
You went to the doctor today. Mommy, he lied to you. He said that I'm not a baby. I am a baby Mommy, your baby. I think and feel. Mommy, what's abortion?
Day 6
I can hear that doctor again. I don't like him. He seems cold and heartless. Something is intruding my home. The doctor called it a needle. Mommy what is it? It burns! Please make him stop! I can't get away from it! Mommy!! HELP me!! No . . .
Day 7
Mommy, I am okay. I am in Jesus's arms. he is holding me. He told me about abortion. Why didn't you want me Mommy?
One more heart that was stopped. Two more eyes that will never see. Two more hands that will never touch. Two more legs that will never run. One more mouth that will never speak.
REPOST THIS IF U HATE ABORTION
it could go the other way, so, pay attention, that's priced right, & can lead to total restoration of the way things ought to be. see you there? let yOUR conscience be yOUR guide. you can be more helpful than you might have imagined. there are still some choices. if they do not suit you, consider the likely results of continuing to follow the corepirate nazi hypenosys story LIEn, whereas anything of relevance is replaced almost instantly with pr ?firm? scriptdead mindphuking propaganda or 'celebrity' trivia 'foam'. meanwhile; don't forget to get a little more oxygen on yOUR brain, & look up in the sky from time to time, starting early in the day. there's lots going on up there.

is it time to get real yet? A LOT of energy is being squandered in attempts to keep US in the dark. in the end (give or take a few 1000 years), the creators will prevail (world without end, etc...), as it has always been. the process of gaining yOUR release from the current hostage situation may not be what you might think it is. butt of course, most of US don't know, or care what a precarious/fatal situation we're in. for example; the insidious attempts by the felonious corepirate nazi execrable to block the suns' light, interfering with a requirement (sunlight) for us to stay healthy/alive. it's likely not good for yOUR health/memories 'else they'd be bragging about it? we're intending for the whoreabully deceptive (they'll do ANYTHING for a bit more monIE/power) felons to give up/fail even further, in attempting to control the 'weather', as well as a # of other things/events.

dictator style micro management has never worked (for very long). it's an illness. tie that with life0cidal aggression & softwar gangster style bullying, & what do we have? a greed/fear/ego based recipe for disaster. meanwhile, you can help to stop the bleeding (loss of life & limb);

the bleeding must be stopped before any healing can begin. jailing a couple of corepirate nazi hired goons would send a clear message to the rest of the world from US. any truthful look at the 'scorecard' would reveal that we are a society in decline/deep doo-doo, despite all of the scriptdead pr ?firm? generated drum beating & flag waving propaganda that we are constantly bombarded with. is it time to get real yet? please consider carefully ALL of yOUR other 'options'. the creators will prevail. as it has always been.
corepirate nazi execrable costs outweigh benefits
(Score:-)mynuts won, the king is a fink)

as there are no benefits, just more&more death/debt & disruption. fortunately there's an 'army' of light bringers, coming yOUR way. the little ones/innocents must/will be protected. after the big flash, ALL of yOUR imaginary 'borders' may blur a bit? for each of the creators' innocents harmed in any way, there is a debt that must/will be repaid by you/us, as the perpetrators/minions of unprecedented evile, will not be available. 'vote' with (what's left in) yOUR wallet, & by your behaviors. help bring an end to unprecedented evile's manifestation through yOUR owned felonious corepirate nazi glowbull warmongering execrable. some of US should consider ourselves somewhat fortunate to be among those scheduled to survi
Stem Cells (embyronic or otherwise) - NOPE! Good old-fashioned ANIMAL research.
The next question is how much of the foetus must pass through what part of the birth canal to merit protection from the law? On the other end, How incapacitated must a human being who is outside the womb be to dismerit protection of the law (e.g.Terry Schiavo)? It is amazing what people do to justify their depravity.
There is no such thing as murder; there are simply prenatal and postnatal abortions. This is called enlightenment (along with the lockstep marches and straightarm salutes).
That's a common, but erroneous, belief. The situation is actually quite a bit more complex than that. I have a story that might help clear things up: A few weeks ago while on leave before headquarters put me on double shift, me, my wife, and daughters got a wild hair one day and decided we would visit North Carolina. After arriving in Charlotte at Douglass International we arranged for a car rental. First I will say I do not eat airplane food it makes me ill just smelling it. I made the endeavor to try to eat it before and my digestive system didn't forgive me for quite some time. Anyway, I was feelin quite hungry after the several hour flight and decided we would stop at Mcdonalds (there are hardly any niggers in Hawaii so I assumed it would be nigger free here too). As I walked in it was fortunately Mexican humans for the most part. After walking in I ask everyone what they want and get into the shortest line. As I'm standing in line a 6'5 nigger buck, his white nigger loving whore and their nasty looking children walk behind my family. Naturally I become uneasy but decide to hold my ground thinking his whore would keep him in line seeing as she was apparently holding the ape's leash, and him and his two niglets were a very small ratio compared to humans there. Not long I order our food and step aside to make way for the nigs and the brunette welfare mammy (who dressed like a whore unsurprisingly). As I'm standing there the nigger buck finishes ordering after much pain to my ears hearing him butcher the English language. Anyway our order took quite a bit more time to process, because nobody in my family likes condiments or pickles, and it was busy hour, consequently they get their order first. This is where the chimpout begins and things went nasty from here on out.
As the Adams Family gets their food the nigger buck started getting very uppity and the children were running around like they were still in the jungle. He started shouting at the service worker saying something like "you speak english, where da large fries at messican?" Calmly, and in a very clear American accent she says you ordered the regular double quarter pounder meal or something like that. The regular meal doesnt come with large fries. "If you'd like me to fix it sir I can." At that instant the nigger buck picks the fries up and spills the fries across the counter right where she was standing then leaves the store while shouting for his niglets. This amazed and slightly upset me. It amazed me to think these niggers are called apes, but even apes wouldnt treat someone who was serving you your food in such a manner. I looked at that poor woman as she was calling for a broom and soon after thought what in the hell has this proud part of the country become? Had this been in Hawaii I would have excercised my legal off-duty authority and made the nigger buck apologize and clean it up. But I decided to excercise discretion seeing as how I was quite far from my jurisdiction, with family, and on vacation. It still tugs at my consciense though as I did nothing, but overall the trip made me and my wife rethink our retirement plans.
Come on, these people need at least a miracle in their career to reach sainthood. Removing one of their major category of surnatural recovery is a direct assault to the religion by those b*stard scientists!
In America, child abuse is serious business, you insensitive clod!
Do you get that? It's a woman's fetus.
So you wouldn't of had a problem with your wife deciding to abort the day before the birth because she changed her mind? After all, it's "her fetus".
The government shouldn't tell women what to do with their bodies, but the *fetus* should. They have a natural right to temporary ownership of the woman's body. But since the fetus can't tell us yet, we have to wait until it can. Should the new life decide it didn't want to be born, it can take the necessary steps at that time.
Oh, it's wonderful to see that ultrasound, but is it a person? Nunh-uh.
A newborn isn't a "person" in the sense of having sentience, either. They don't develop that until about three months. So do you support post-birth abortion in the first three months, since there is no "person" involved?
Sometimes it's best to just let stupid people be stupid.
