By DÁNICA COTO, February 12, 2026

SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico (AP) — "Puerto Rico’s governor on Thursday signed a bill that amends a law to recognize a fetus as a human being, a move doctors and legal experts warn will have deep ramifications for the U.S. Caribbean territory.

"The amendment was approved without #PublicHearings and amid concerns from opponents who warned it would unleash confusion and affect how doctors and pregnant or potentially #PregnantWomen are treated.

"The new law will lead to 'defensive health care,' warned Dr. Carlos Díaz Vélez, president of Puerto Rico’s College of Medical Surgeons."

Puerto Rico governor signs widely disputed law to recognize fetus as human being

Puerto Rico’s governor has signed a bill that amends a law to recognize a fetus as a human being. It's a move that doctors and legal experts warn will have deep ramifications for the U.S. territory. The amendment was approved Thursday without public hearings and amid concerns from opponents who warned it would unleash confusion and affect how doctors and pregnant or potentially pregnant women are treated. The president of Puerto Rico’s College of Medical Surgeons warned that the new law would lead to “defensive health care" and questioned why the medical sector was never consulted.

#Maine #FamilyPlanning will close its primary care practice at end of October

#MainePublic | By Patty Wight
Published October 1, 2025

"Maine Family Planning says it cannot sustain its primary care practice beyond this month.

"The nonprofit says it faced an impossible decision after losing $2 million in #Medicaid funding under a new federal law. That means 800 patients in #Aroostook and #Hancock counties will now need to find new primary care providers.

"The law bans health providers who also offer #abortions from being reimbursed by Medicaid.

“ 'The cruel and dangerous law has put us in an impossible situation,' President and CEO George Hill said in a written statement. 'Discharging and turning away vulnerable patients strikes at the very heart of MFP’s reputation as a trusted community provider that has been able to serve patients of any means for more than 50 years.'

"As a result, #MaineFamilyPlanning says they've been providing primary care to Medicaid patients in #EllsworthME, #HoultonME, and #PresqueIsleME free of charge since July."

Maine Family Planning will close its primary care practice at end of October

The organization says the decision will affect hundreds of patients and is the result of a new federal law that bans providers who also offer abortions from billing Medicaid.

As Trump Weighs #IV., #Republicans Back New ‘Natural’ Approach to Infertility

Long confined to the medical fringe, “restorative reproductive medicine” has unified Christian conservatives and proponents of the Make America Healthy Again movement on the political right.

By Caroline Kitchener, Aug. 21, 2025

Excerpt: "The field of restorative reproductive medicine, which dates back to the early 2000s, is grounded in the idea that infertility is a symptom of an underlying 'root cause.' Physicians who specialize in the approach analyze patients’ diet and exercise habits, while helping them 'chart' their menstrual cycles..."

Can #empathy lead to sin? Some #ConservativeChristians argue it can

By TIFFANY STANLEY

WASHINGTON (AP) — "Empathy is usually regarded as a virtue, a key to #HumanDecency and #kindness. And yet, with increasing momentum, voices on the #ChristianRight are preaching that it has become a vice.

"For them, empathy is a cudgel for the left: It can manipulate caring people into accepting all manner of sins according to a conservative Christian perspective, including #abortion access, #LGBTQ+ rights, illegal immigration and certain views on #social and #racial justice."

Conservative Christians argue empathy can lead to sin

Some voices on the Christian right are arguing the virtue of empathy has become a vice. Those Christians claim empathy can manipulate people into accepting what they see as sins, like abortion access and LGBTQ+ rights. Conservative evangelicals Allie Beth Stuckey and Joe Rigney have written books within the past year criticizing certain forms of empathy. Stuckey's and Rigney's views have gained traction among President Donald Trump’s Christian base as his Republican administration enacts hard-line policies. Progressive Christian leaders emphasize empathy is central to Jesus' teachings, countering claims it's harmful or sinful.

GOOD RIDDANCE TO BAD RUBBISH!!! #JamesDobson, influential founder of conservative Christian group #FocusOnTheFamily, has died

By MIKE CATALINI and HOLLY MEYER
Updated 10:33 AM EDT, August 21, 2025

"Dr. James Dobson, a politically influential child psychologist who started a radio show counseling Christians on how to be good parents, founded the conservative ministry Focus on the Family and was long a campaigner against #abortion and #LGBTQ+ rights, died on Thursday. He was 89.

"His death was confirmed by the Dr. James Dobson Family Institute.

"Dobson started Focus on the Family in 1977, which had more than 1,000 employees at its peak and gave him a platform to weigh in on legislation, advise White House panels and advocate against laws to ban #ConversionTherapy to 'cure' gay people.

"He became a force in the 1980s for pushing conservative Christian ideals in American politics alongside fundamentalist giants like #JerryFalwell and #PatRobertson. He campaigned for bringing religious conservatives into the political mainstream, and in 1989, Falwell called Dobson a rising star. Decades later, he served on President #DonaldTrump ’s Evangelical Executive Advisory Board."
