A 16-year-old girl lost nearly all of her vision within 10 days of receiving the second course of her vaccine against the human papilloma virus (HPV), reports a case study in the Journal of Child Neurology. The HPV vaccine is designed to prevent infection by the strains of the virus that are responsible for the majority of cervical cancer and genital warts cases. The study recounts the case of a previously healthy teenage girl who developed a headache on the left side of her head and began to lose vision in her right eye eight days after receiving her second HPV vaccine shot. Over the course of the following 48 hours, the pain spread across her head and she began to lose sight in her left eye as well.

Study Finds Link In Domestic Abuse, Abortion
Women seeking to kill their babies by abortion are more likely to have experienced partner violence than the general population, according to a recent study by University of Iowa professors and Planned Parenthood of the Heartland. The study, published in the American Journal of Public Health, was based on a series of private screenings of 986 women seeking abortions at Planned Parenthood on issues of physical and sexual abuse, as well as battering. Researchers completed the study over a period of 81?2 months; all the participants were Iowa residents. Researchers found nearly 14 percent of the women who sought abortions had experienced domestic violence from a partner in the previous 12 months. And 74 percent of those women said they had been abused by a former partner rather than their current partner.

Retired British GP Admits Killing Patients without Consent: Could Face Charges
A retired UK doctor believes he has been treated “harshly” by medical and legal authorities after he admitted to deliberately killing some of his patients without their consent.
“I twice helped people die, not because they wanted to die but because they had such dreadful suffering,” Dr. Howard Martin admitted in a video interview with the Daily Telegraph.
Last week the General Medical Council (GMC) found Martin guilty of professional misconduct, saying that he had knowingly “hastened the deaths” of 18 patients by giving them excessive doses of morphine. The GMC called his conduct “despicable and dangerous,” and police are now investigating whether criminal charges could be pressed.

Abortion policy destroying European societies, Spanish bishop warns
Bishop Demetrio Fernandez of Cordoba in Spain said pro-abortion policies are leading to “the destruction of society,” to the degree that “prosperous European societies such as Germany, France or Holland, among others, are now dying. He stressed that the same thing is currently taking place in Spain.
In an interview with Europa Press, Bishop Fernandez said the situation facing Europe is obvious. “If nothing more, if there are no children, there will not be a sufficient number of workers. But it doesn’t seem that anyone is concerned about this issue and only the Church is speaking up.”
