...outbreak apparently began with a 36-year-old laboratory technician identified only as "Kimfumu." He arrived at a medical clinic in the small agricultural city of Kikwit, Zaire, last month for emergency surgery. But after two operations, surgeons realized they could do nothing for him; his internal organs were hemorrhaging so badly that life was quickly draining from his body. Soon after Kimfumu died, the five medical workers who treated him, including an Italian nun who assisted in the operations, began coming down with their own symptoms: headache and fever, diarrhea, massive bleeding from every body orifice and, within...

When international emergency teams arrived last week at the clinic where the outbreak began, they found only 20 people left in the 350-bed facility, raising fears that patients had fled, taking the virus with them.

If people of vastly different moral and religious beliefs can join together to fight abortion, I fail to see how it can constitute the imposition of any elaborate moral code...
...complex issue. The women who are faced with the question of whether or not to have an abortion often feel confused and deeply troubled. Before a woman chooses to have an abortion, she should stop and think long and hard about her choice. If a prayer vigil outside a clinic can make a woman think twice about what she's about to do, then it is a worthwhile and noble endeavor...
