...most painful aspect of making my way through Harvard was realizing that some things I considered integral parts of my identity were fated to turn into hobbies; that, as time progressed and possibilities were whittled away, not every bullet point on that college application was destined to become my life’s passion. I never planned on making jazz my life—I simply don’t have the love for the saxophone that turns eight hours of practice daily from a chore into a routine—but I never thought it would be relegated...
Living with a developmentally or physically disabled person completely changes the scope of almost every aspect of one’s daily life. Nowhere is this burden greater than for the parents of a disabled child, a population that has been shown in medical studies to undergo more physical stress than almost any group. To pull the plug on support for this dedicated demographic is unacceptable.

...life, over more than three decades, Tiller unapologetically represented the most controversial aspect of the pro-choice cause: late-term abortions. In death, antiabortion activists fear he could boost the cause. They recall the public revulsion at the murder of Dr. David Gunn in Pensacola, Fla., in 1994, and the sniper killing of Dr. Barnett Slepian near Buffalo, N.Y., in 1998. Those and other acts of violence created a groundswell - if not in favor of abortion rights, then certainly against the antiabortion movement...
