Despite the suction cups that bulge from his body, he makes but the feeblest attempt to cling to the wall of the Jordan Marsh toy department, bouncing off again and again with his shallow vinyl grin intact...
Abortion involves a lot of pain. In the United States, one abortion is performed every 30 seconds. The three major abortion procedures--dilation and curettage, suction, and use of a saline-solution--correspond to slicing, crushing, and burning the fetus to death.

...leaf tea to taking calcium ("nature's tranquilizer," said Nutritionist Adelle Davis) before their periods. Some ardent feminists are even urging women friends to examine, smell and taste their own menstrual blood as a way of overcoming traditional attitudes toward menstruation. Others are promoting menstrual extraction-a risky suction procedure-to avoid days of bleeding...
