What I do hope to offer is empathy. Today, make sure to smile extra big to the person in your life who smokes. Sit with them at lunch, walk to class together or plan to paint the town (what there is of one) in New Haven. Show you care.

The town's five obstetrician-gynecologists sent a letter to the local newspaper asserting that it is "unconscionable, un-Christian, un-Catholic and unwise to deny sterilization services to a community."

That is a dramatic change from last year, when more than 400 tubal ligations were performed at South Valley Hospital. In fact, nearly a fifth of all deliveries were immediately followed by the operation, which takes 15 min. and can often piggyback on the same epidural painkiller used during labor. So what changed? Well, South Valley became St. Louise Regional Health Center, and the hospital's new owner...
