Quotes to Note

Throughout medical history, “conception” has been equated to “fertilization”, both meaning the union of the sperm and the egg.

However, in the last 30-40 years, “conception” has been quietly and arbitrarily redefined to mean implantation of the human embryo (blastocyst) in the uterus.

This allows for a period of about 6-10 days from fertilization (union of egg and sperm) in the Fallopian tube, until the embryo – about 100 cells in size – arrives in the uterus.

Of course, since EC proponents have changed the definition of conception to mean implantation, they would say that there is no current pregnancy.

On the other hand, most scientists and physicians recognize fertilization as the moment when life begins, and would therefore, call the loss of the human embryo an early abortion.

Autistic Salutatorian Delivers High School Graduation Speech: Rhode Island High Schooler Leads Class Despite Speech Struggle

Eric Duquette is the salutatorian of his high school, an honor student, a musician, and he has autism.

Despite his early struggles with speech, today he speaks both English and Spanish. He's a member of the Spanish National Honor Society and placed 93rd in the nation on the Spanish V exam.

"Daniel Webster wrote that 'if my possessions were taken from me with one exception, I would choose to keep the power of communication, for by it I would soon regain all the rest,'" Duquette said at the podium.

"For me, learning to communicate did mean regaining all the rest." [http://abcnews.go.com/WN/Broadcast/student-autism-class-salutatorian-delivers-high-school-graduation/story?id=10933858 ]
