Watch: This powerful new series highlights the ways abortion providers save and improve women’s lives

Gifs: Planned Parenthood

Abortion providers are trained to recognize patients who are not entirely sure about their decision so that they can encourage them to think more on it before performing the procedure. They also look out for people who are being forced into abortions. Do they catch every single one? No, but they catch as many as they can so that those patients don’t make the wrong choice for themselves. I’m so glad that the woman in this video was able to talk with a doctor who understood that abortion wasn’t what she really wanted.

I get really tired of hearing about how abortion is just a money maker for doctors, when there are so many stories like these about doctors who look out for people like this woman. Doctors only want to perform abortions on patients who are absolutely 100% sure that it’s for them. -V

Skip Bayless Accuses Trent Dilfer of Harboring a “Plantation Mentality”.

A few days ago Trent Dilfer, a former football quarterback in the National Football League, had something to say about Colin Kaepernick on Sunday NFL Countdown. He said:

“The big thing that hit me through all this was this is a backup quarterback whose job is to be quiet, and sit in the shadows and get the starter ready to play Week 1. Yet he chose a time where all of a sudden he became the center of attention. And it has disrupted that organization. It has caused friction. And it’s torn at the fabric of the team.”

The often controversial Fox sports commentator Skip Bayless disagrees with Dilfer and that’s what he said.

For what's money without happiness? Or hard times without the people you love Though I'm not sure what's 'bout to happen next I asked for strength from the Lord up above Cause I've been strong so far But I can feel my grip loosening Quick, do something before you lose it for good Get it back and use it for good And touch the people how you did like before

even as im writing this, im trying to control my breathing, im embracing my dizziness, im letting my head feel numb. functioning with generalized anxiety has been the hardest thing i’ve ever had to do. i’ve only been struggling for 2 weeks now, and my heart goes out to all my friends who have been battling their mental health for years.

before i continue, i want to clarify that i have self-diagnosed myself. my claims shall be confirmed with both my primary and psychiatrist this coming week. my symptoms include the following: tightness in chest, constant feeling of choking, dizziness/lightheaded, random waves of vertigo, hot flashes, loss of appetite, moodiness (mostly crying), and continual monitoring of my body to ensure that i am still alive.

what people dont realize is that this has been a daily struggle. going to school and sitting in 8 hours worth of lecture takes a toll on me. i take too many naps, and later feel guilty about not studying. i cant sit for more than 30 min at home or the library. when i read a passage over, and over again, i have not been able to retain information. moments where i should naturally feel anxious, like taking a quiz today, or practicing OMM with my professor, takes mental preparation and a lot of deep breathing. and most importantly, socially, i feel distant from my new peers. several people have caught me zoning out (again, controlling the breathing). i cant emotionally destress by going out, partially because of guilt because i havent study, and partially because of my last episode.

i have been vocal about my feelings, finally admitting to my roommates and parents that i can’t control my body anymore. i have tried to change the way i think, including embracing any bodily sensations to prevent the fear, which feeds these attacks. i have improved my diet because of my loss of appetite. aka, i force myself to take my vitamins, eat 3 meals a day with snacks, and continuously drink water. i have prayed and meditated every night. i have been working on changing my attitude about medical school, reminding myself of my abilities, and that i have earned my way into medical school, and that the drop out rate is 0%.

mentally, i have gotten over my fears. i have jumped over the hurdles of leaving lebanon alone, combating gastritis, moving myself into my house (that didnt have electricity or water first 2 nights), taking care of my financial status, bargaining for a car. i have the mental confidence that i am capable of doing well in med school, especially after surviving a week of organizing my life, and getting into my new routine. but physically im falling apart, and i dont know how to fix it.

all i know at the moment is that i am a student doctor. i am battling an anxiety/panic disorder. i need professional help. and that’s ok.

During the 15-hour Senate filibuster on gun control, there were 38 shootings that killed 12 people and injured 36 more across America.

That roughly translates to one shooting per every 23 minutes.

“There’s a strange culture in medicine. People are less friendly to each other than I imagined. I got an MD and a PhD in Neuroscience. I’m finishing my residency right now. I guess I thought that everyone would be compassionate, and would help each other, and would be nice to each other. And don’t get me wrong—I work with a lot of compassionate people. But the stress just erodes people. There’s a lot of tension and anger. We’re taught that 80 hours per week is normal and shouldn’t be questioned. But at the same time, a huge amount of work that medical interns do is administrative. It could be outsourced without affecting the quality of education or care. And the culture does real harm. I’ve had two friends commit suicide. One of them was studying anesthesiology at Yale and overdosed in a parking lot. The other jumped off the dorm building at NYU. There’s got to be a better way. I don’t know, maybe I’m just saying this because I’m stressed. I’m heading to the ER now. I’m almost at the end of my residency. I can see the end of the tunnel. But the tunnel is very damaging.”

Can we get this dude a kickstarter to raise enough for a high-end meal and cab fare for him and his family? He clearly deserves it.

“By creating the exit, Yousuf estimated that about 70 people were able to get out of the nightclub safely.” He saved 70 people. That’s 70 more people that could have died that night. This is so important.
