Turn Around on Abortion. Christopher Blunt and Fred Steeper discuss the shift of public opinion on the abortion issue in the state of Missouri.

UPI has a story about how U.S. scientists have used adult stem cell to treat patients with angina.

Don't worry this is another story of successful treatment with adult stem cells which won't get a lot of media attention.
