Spain had begun its tumble down the slippery slope by embracing the murderous culture of death.

In its first major test in parliament, the Socialist government's bill to make it easier to get an abortion in Spain won enough backing Thursday to defeat amendments that would have totally blocked the proposed law.

Since 1985, abortion has been decriminalized in Spain, but only in matters of rape, or when the health of the child or mother is at risk.

(...)

The Roman Catholic church here and the main opposition conservative Popular Party have blasted the government's bill to make it easier to get an abortion and give it legal backing.
The bill would permit abortions through 14 weeks of pregnancy, with few questions asked, even allowing 16-year-olds to get an abortion without prior consent from their parents

President Barack Obama replicated fmr President George W. Bush's Thanksgiving proclamation but scrubbed who to be thankful to (i.e., God who blessed our Nation's first days) and His gift of life. - Jill Stanek

As an attitude of the heart, Thanksgiving is not ambient or spontaneous but is directional and conditional. You really have to be thankful for something and thankful to someone. In that first Thanksgiving Day proclamation then President George Washington set the standard citing the blessings of the Almighty God as the foundation for today's national holiday.

ATLANTA, Nov. 25, 2009/Christian Newswire --

Dr. Alveda King, Pastoral Associate of Priests for Life, reacted today to the case of an African American teenager who is suing a Michigan doctor for an alleged forced abortion.

"I can't help but notice that no so called 'pro-choice' leaders are rushing to the aid of a black Michigan teenager who says she was held down on an operating table while an abortionist took her baby without consent," said Dr. King. "The silence of the pro-abortion 'champions' is deafening, but the silence of the lambs slaughtered in the clinics is heart wrenching. Once again, it's clear that the abortion lobby supports only one choice."

Priests for Life is the nation's largest Catholic pro- life organization dedicated to ending abortion and euthanasia. For more information, visit www.priestsforlife.org.

You remember the case of Abby Johnson don't you? She was the former Planned Parenthood clinic employee who had a change of heart after witnessing the abortion of a 13-week baby via ultrasound. Planned Parenthood failed to silence her:

Bryan, Texas - Planned Parenthood has quietly dropped its lawsuit against the former director of its Bryan health center who quit her job after observing an abortion procedure. Among other accusations, Planned Parenthood falsely claimed she violated a confidentiality agreement and breached an employment contract, though she never had one with the clinic. Alliance Defense Fund attorneys provided legal assistance to Johnson and the Brazos Valley Coalition for Life.

"This was the latest in a series of national Planned Parenthood scandals," said ADF Senor Legal Counsel Steven H. Aden. "It wasn't about one woman or one clinic. Planned Parenthood is a national organization that has been kept afloat by hundreds of millions of dollars in taxpayer funding. The American people need to understand that this organization has been involved in scandal after scandal and has never owned up to them. Like so many Planned Parenthood lawsuits, this lawsuit was baseless, so we are pleased that it has been withdrawn."

The order withdrawing the lawsuit, Planned Parenthood of Houston and Southeast Texas v. Johnson, was issued by the Brazos County District Court, 85th Judicial District.

Employed with Planned Parenthood for eight years, Johnson, the 2008 employee of the year for Planned Parenthood's southeast Texas region, says she was put under duress by her employer in August when her clinic was economically pressured to perform more abortions to raise profits. After recently being required to assist in an ultrasound-guided abortion procedure which she observed on screen, Johnson decided to resign.

Johnson says she changed her view about abortion after seeing the pre-born child--of 13 weeks--in the ultrasound curl away from the abortion instrument inserted to end his or her life. She has since accepted employment with the Brazos Valley Coalition for Life, a community-based Christian pro-life organization.

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. -- Alliance Defense Fund attorneys filed an emergency motion in court Monday to save the life of nine-month-old Gabriel Palmer. East Tennessee Children's Hospital says it may abandon his medical care and thus cause his death even though the child is stable and a doctor says he could live for a long time.

The hospital did not change course after a letter sent Friday by an ADF-cooperating attorney on behalf of Baby Gabriel's mother which urged hospital officials to continue his medical treatment. Hospital staff told Catherine Palmer that they will no longer provide medical care for her baby despite her objections. The boy is on a respirator and medications to treat pulmonary vascular problems he developed after procedures that the hospital performed on him in October.

"A disability should not be a death sentence. No one should be allowed to decide that an innocent life is not worth saving," said ADF Legal Counsel Matt Bowman. "Doctors at East Tennessee Children's Hospital need to do the right thing and make sure Baby Gabriel gets the treatment he needs to live. He is loved by his mother, is in stable condition, and could live for a long time. The hospital's treatment--or lack thereof--of this helpless little boy is simply inhuman."

By the President of the United States of America, a Proclamation.

Whereas it is the duty of all Nations to acknowledge the providence of Almighty God, to obey his will, to be grateful for his benefits, and humbly to implore his protection and favor-- and whereas both Houses of Congress have by their joint Committee requested me to recommend to the People of the United States a day of public thanksgiving and prayer to be observed by acknowledging with grateful hearts the many signal favors of Almighty God especially by affording them an opportunity peaceably to establish a form of government for their safety and happiness.

Now therefore I do recommend and assign Thursday the 26th day of November next to be devoted by the People of these States to the service of that great and glorious Being, who is the beneficent Author of all the good that was, that is, or that will be-- That we may then all unite in rendering unto him our sincere and humble thanks--for his kind care and protection of the People of this Country previous to their becoming a Nation--for the signal and manifold mercies, and the favorable interpositions of his Providence which we experienced in the course and conclusion of the late war--for the great degree of tranquility, union, and plenty, which we have since enjoyed--for the peaceable and rational manner, in which we have been enabled to establish constitutions of government for our safety and happiness, and particularly the national One now lately instituted--for the civil and religious liberty with which we are blessed; and the means we have of acquiring and diffusing useful knowledge; and in general for all the great and various favors which he hath been pleased to confer upon us.

and also that we may then unite in most humbly offering our prayers and supplications to the great Lord and Ruler of Nations and beseech him to pardon our national and other transgressions-- to enable us all, whether in public or private stations, to perform our several and relative duties properly and punctually--to render our national government a blessing to all the people, by constantly being a Government of wise, just, and constitutional laws, discreetly and faithfully executed and obeyed--to protect and guide all Sovereigns and Nations (especially such as have shewn kindness unto us) and to bless them with good government, peace, and concord--To promote the knowledge and practice of true religion and virtue, and the increase of science among them and us--and generally to grant unto all Mankind such a degree of temporal prosperity as he alone knows to be best.

Given under my hand at the City of New York the third day of October in the year of our Lord 1789.

Maybe it's just me, but just because something that is transparently wrong is approved, the fact that everyone already knew that would be the result doesn't make it any the less difficult to swallow. For example, everybody knew the Baltimore City Council was going to pass Bill 09-0406 to harass women helping centers on Monday, but that doesn't make the 12-3 vote any the less outrageous.

Council President Stephanie Rawlings-Blake carried the Abortion Establishment's water on this one (Planned Parenthood and NARAL Pro-Choice Maryland are reported to be the inspiration), dubbing the bill a "truth in advertising" measure.

Pro-abortion Mayor Sheila Dixon has not indicated her intentions. She can either sign or veto the measure or allow it to become law without her signature. If the bill becomes law, the four pro-life pregnancy centers in the city will be required to post signs in English and Spanish indicating that they do not provide abortion or birth control. Failure to do so with ten days would result in a fine of $150.

Bullies that they are, Rawlings-Blake and her 11 colleagues took on organizations that run on shoe-string budgets and are manned almost entirely by volunteers.

"The passage of this piece of legislation may serve as serious encouragement to those who would like to see our organizations saddled with more laws and restrictions," Carol A. Clews, executive director of the Center for Pregnancy Concerns, a nonprofit anti-abortion organization that receives donations from religious groups and has operated in Baltimore for 30 years," according to the Baltimore Sun's Julie Scharper. "The crisis centers are 'very upfront about the services that we provide and the services we don't provide,' Clews said. Most of their clients have already decided to continue their pregnancies but need help with utility bills, job referrals, maternity clothes or prenatal vitamins, she said."

The Baltimore bill is thought to be the first of its kind in the nation. Predictably, the plague threatens to spread. ...

Yes, there is now growing skepticism over the veracity of the global warming conjecture since Cimategate broke.  For those new to the scandal, RedState has the highlights:

1. Prominent environmental scientists organize a boycott of scientific journals if those journals publish scholarly material from global warming dissidents.
2. The scientists then orchestrate attacks on the dissidents because of their lack of scholarly material published in scientific journals.
3. The scientists block from the UN's report on global warming evidence that is harmful to the anthropogenic global warming consensus.
4. The scientists, when faced with a freedom of information act request for their correspondence and data, delete the correspondence and data lest it be used against them.
5. The scientists fabricate data when their data fails to prove the earth is warming. In fact, in more than one case, scientists engaged in lengthy emails on how to insert additional made up data that would in turn cause their claims to stand out as legitimate.

Whoa ... "if you own any shares in alternative energy companies I should start dumping them NOW."   The FRC's Tony Perkins writes,

Last week's Climategate showed how misguided the President's environmental policies--like cap-and-trade policies--have been. By cracking into the servers of the Climatic Research Units, hackers exposed the fraud of global warming in dozens of emails written by the world's environmental experts. According to the messages, scientists were manipulating the facts to hide their own inconvenient truth, which is that global temperatures have actually been on the decline. Of course, plenty of scientists had debunked those theories before the controversy, but President Obama insisted on moving forward with his agenda in direct contradiction to the facts.

Yes, there were many who didn't need explicit evidence of misrepresentation to see the games that were being played.  Wesley J. Smith, writes,

"I didn't need these e-mails to figure out the game being played by the global warming hysterics... Here's a clue: If the Democratic Congress refuses to investigate, they know it's true. Ditto the UN and the UK Parliament. Alas, that is my prediction.." - 

Sadly, global warming has become a cause that has been used to support any number of illigitmate agendas.  For example, fund contraception and abortion before global warming destroys the earth. A mandate (wink) is not necessary."  Now the house of is collapsing and the church of global warming has been exposed.

Update from Michelle Malkin:

The [New York] Times' lead environmental blogger, Andrew Revkin, haughtily refused to reprint damning e-mails leaked by a hacker in the burgeoning "ClimateGate" scandal. The documents reveal a long trail of manipulated data, but Revkin balked at the ill-gotten trove. The blabbermouths at the Times had no problem exposing national security secrets to undermine Bush. But shed light on scientific hoaxes that undermine Al Gore? Unethical!

As sidewalk counselors "demonstrated" outside of a Duluth abortion mill they were given a frightening reminder of the violent nature of abortion:

Duluth police say a 25-year-old Superior woman is in custody after she allegedly pulled a knife on one of the demonstrators and held it to the woman's throat. While protesters have demonstrated outside the building many times before, the facility says Tuesday's incident is rare and isolated.

Just before 8:00, demonstrators say they confronted a woman as she was going into the Building For Women on 1st. Street.

"We asked the women 'please don't take the life of your unborn baby we care about what happens to them,'" said Leah Winandy, a demonstrator outside the building.

The demonstrators say that's when the woman brandished a knife at Winandy.

"She said 'don't do this,don't talk to me, don't come near me' and I just said 'fear god,' and she had the knife to my throat and I was a little nervous," Leah said.

It's light years beyond ultrasound and will make you practically fall off your chair when you see it.

We at Priests for Life are now promoting and distributing to every sector of the Church and the pro-life movement the most vivid, powerful, and striking videography of the unborn child that exists. Obtained through a rarely used technique called embryoscopy, in which a video camera the size of a pen-point is inserted abdominally or cervically, this video footage has been incorporated into a 42-minute video called "The Biology of Prenatal Development," now available from Priests for Life.

You can see segments of this imagery at Priests for Life's special website www.Unborn.info.

It is widely known in the pro-life movement that ultrasound imagery changes peoples' minds and hearts. With this stunning, color imagery of the child from four to twelve weeks after fertilization, we expect even more radical conversions.

The DVD was produced by the Endowment for Human Development, written and researched by a medical doctor, and endorsed by numerous medical experts. The video has received 11 video awards for its excellence, and has even been distributed by National Geographic!

The video does not address the abortion issue, but certainly will inoculate anyone from pro-abortion arguments. The video is intended for a non-professional audience of ages 12 and higher, and yet does not oversimplify its subject matter. Hence, it is even useful for medical school audiences. Along with the embryoscopy method, five other medical imaging techologies are used in the video, with accompanying commentary on the scientific facts of the child's development. Some of those facts are outlined below.

Priests for Life intends to make this video available to every pregnancy center, every school, and every Church in America. You can help us to do that! Here are some steps you can take:

1. Sign up at www.unborn.info to keep informed about this project.

2. Purchase your own copy of the DVD from Priests for Life and an additional copy to give to a school principal or pastor in your community. Let us know that you are doing this so that we can keep track of what parishes and schools are covered.

3. Make a donation to cover the cost of sending the DVD to every parish or school in your community, diocese, or state!

4. Recruit others to support the project by showing the DVD at your pro-life group meeting, other meetings, or at gatherings you can host in your home.

Among the developmental facts documented in the DVD are the following:

*The heartbeat is observed three weeks and one day after fertilization, and the heart will beat 54 million times before birth!

*At 6 weeks the embryo begins making spontaneous movements. Touch his mouth and he will withdraw his head.

*At eight weeks, 90% of the anatomical structures found in adults are present - that's 4000 distinct anatomical structures!

*The child has unique fingerprints at 10 weeks - the same fingerprints he or she keeps throughout life.

An ABC affiliate aired today a video interview with Caitlin Bruce, the woman who has sued abortionist Abraham Alberto Hodari for committing a forced abortion on her. Bruce appeared on camera and said that she changed her mind and withdrew her consent after viewing an ultrasound image of her baby.

"He told his assistant, you know, 'Hold her down.' You know? They had my arm pinned, his weight was all on my chest, and then he took his hand and he had it so tight on my mouth that it was muffled. I was screaming and I was crying," said Bruce.

"They ripped the life out of me that day."

Hodari denies any wrong doing, but in the meantime, he has put his abortion clinics up for sale along with his expensive classic car collection, and filed for a hasty divorce from his wife of 29 years.

November 23, 2009/Liberty Counsel--

On Saturday, the Senate voted 60 to 39 to start the debate on Harry Reid's massive and very costly 2,074-page healthcare monstrosity. When Congress returns from Thanksgiving break the senators will begin debate on the bill (H.R. 3590)

In order to buy a needed vote in the Washington version of "pay to play" politics, Senator Reid inserted a $300 million earmark in his healthcare bill to buy the vote of Senator Mary Landrieu. When the media reported that Landrieu pulled off a "100 million dollar" lottery for Louisiana, Landrieu denied the report but defended her actions by saying, "I am not going to be defensive about asking for help in this situation. It is not a $100 million fix, it is a nearly $300 million fix."

In exchange for the $300 million "Christmas gift," Landrieu will host a $4,800 per person fundraiser for Senator Harry Reid at the home of David Voelker, chairman of the Louisiana Recovery Authority and supporter of Obama's presidential campaign.

If the buy-off doesn't make your stomach churn enough, the Senate bill itself will really sicken you. It contains both government-funded abortion and a public option plan. ...

You've heard the pravda before but these statements by the UN Population Fund are simply over the top:

The battle against global warming could be helped if the world slowed population growth by making free condoms and family planning advice more widely available, the U.N. Population Fund said Wednesday

The Fund did fall short of recommending mandates (how noble!):

The agency did not recommend countries set limits on how many children people should have, but said: "Women with access to reproductive health services ... have lower fertility rates that contribute to slower growth in greenhouse gas emissions."

"As the growth of population, economies and consumption outpaces the Earth's capacity to adjust, climate change could become much more extreme and conceivably catastrophic," the report said.

The agenda is clear:  "fund contraception and abortion before global warming destroys the earth.  A mandate (wink) is not necessary."

Population control enthusiasts and radical abortion advocates have long exploited reports of global warming to motivate their agenda. Perhaps they better check the facts and the noted climate researchers who are now reeling following the disclosure of private emails that suggest spin and cover-up instead of observation and analysis:

In one leaked e-mail, the research center's director, Phil Jones, writes to colleagues about graphs showing climate statistics over the last millennium. He alludes to a technique used by a fellow scientist to "hide the decline" in recent global temperatures. Some evidence appears to show a halt in a rise of global temperatures from about 1960, but is contradicted by other evidence which appears to show a rise in temperatures is continuing.

Jones wrote that, in compiling new data, he had "just completed Mike's Nature trick of adding in the real temps to each series for the last 20 years (i.e., from 1981 onwards) and from 1961 for Keith's to hide the decline," according to a leaked e-mail, which the author confirmed was genuine.

What you should realize is the backdrop behind this story, the ugly truth that the models upon which global warming conjectures are built have not been confirmed by observations over the last 10 years:

Global warming appears to have stalled. Climatologists are puzzled as to why average global temperatures have stopped rising over the last 10 years. Some attribute the trend to a lack of sunspots, while others explain it through ocean currents.

he Australian Herald Sun was one of the first to cover the story (HT: RedState):

The 1079 emails and 72 documents seem indeed evidence of a scandal involving most of the most prominent scientists pushing the man-made warming theory - a scandal that is one of the greatest in modern science. I've been adding some of the most astonishing in updates below - emails suggesting conspiracy, collusion in exaggerating warming data, possibly illegal destruction of embarrassing information, organized resistance to disclosure, manipulation of data, private admissions of flaws in their public claims and much more. If it is as it now seems, never again will "peer review" be used to shout down skeptics.

This is clearly not the work of some hacker, but of an insider who's now blown the whistle.

Considering the use of global warming in setting public policy, motivating social engineering and advancing various population control agenda, the implications of this scandal would be difficult to overstate.

I'm talking about Bound for Life's silent protest.

Christians, when they have lived up to the highest ideals of their faith, have defended the weak and vulnerable and worked tirelessly to protect and strengthen vital institutions of civil society, beginning with the family.

We are Orthodox, Catholic, and evangelical Christians who have united at this hour to reaffirm fundamental truths about justice and the common good, and to call upon our fellow citizens, believers and non-believers alike, to join us in defending them. These truths are:

1. the sanctity of human life
2. the dignity of marriage as the conjugal union of husband and wife
3. the rights of conscience and religious liberty.

Inasmuch as these truths are foundational to human dignity and the well-being of society, they are inviolable and non-negotiable. Because they are increasingly under assault from powerful forces in our culture, we are compelled today to speak out forcefully in their defense, and to commit ourselves to honoring them fully no matter what pressures are brought upon us and our institutions to abandon or compromise them. We make this commitment not as partisans of any political group but as followers of Jesus Christ, the crucified and risen Lord, who is the Way, the Truth, and the Life.

With a 60 to 39 vote, the Senate approved floor debate on legislation that represents an unprecedented expansion of federally-funded abortion as part of the government takeover of health care.  Updated:  Obama is gratified.

 The Family Research Council explains,

Among the several objectionable items included in this bill; like the public option, employer and individual mandates, is the government funding for elective abortion, which is the most onerous and morally objectionable. Additionally the bill provides subsidies for private plans that cover elective abortion. The "Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act" authorizes the Secretary of Health and Human Services to include elective abortion in the public option and subsidize health plans in the government run exchange that cover elective abortion.

Our friends at Americans United for Life are on top of issue and reacted quickly:

"This was a pro-abortion vote tonight because this bill provides for an unprecedented expansion of federally-funded abortion. Supporters argued that the debate needed to move forward - but life should be at the heart of any health care reform. There was no more important time for legislators to show their support for life than by leveraging their power now to demand that any health care reform bill genuinely respects life. What is health care about if it is not for preserving and protecting human life? Tonight the Senate failed to do just that. This legislation moves us toward redefining abortion as health care which is the ultimate objective of the abortion lobby led by Planned Parenthood. The flawed provisions in Reid's anti-life bill provide for federal funding for abortion, fail to protect medical providers who object to performing procedures that violate their conscience, and fail to prohibit federal funding of assisted suicide.

But wat happened to our pro-life Democrats (Soconvivium)?:

With the cooperation of ostensible pro-lifers Ben Nelson (D., Neb.) and Robert Casey Jr. (D, Penn.) the motion to bring the health care reform debate to the Senate floor was passed 60-39. They had the chance to defeat a bill that will expand abortion, but didn't.

The Susan B. Anthony List adds:

In response to this evening's advancement of the Patient Protection and Affordable Health Care Act in the U.S. Senate, Susan B. Anthony List President Marjorie Dannenfelser offered the following statement:

"It's gravely disappointing that pro-life Democrats in the Senate failed to show the same courage and conviction shown by their counterparts in the House of Representatives.

"Senators should consider themselves on notice: America is still waiting for you to strike government funded abortion from this legislation. Votes have consequences, and if this health care bill makes it to conference committee without an authentic abortion exclusion, Senators Casey, Landrieu, Lincoln, Nelson and Reid will be held especially accountable.

"Their first opportunity to defend Life was on the motion to proceed. Their last chance will be on the final cloture vote to end debate. A vote to close debate without the addition of strong pro-life language will be a vote for government-funded abortion. That would be the ultimate betrayal of pro-life constituents and even self-described pro-choice Americans who oppose government-funded abortion.

The National Right to Life reacted strongly:

Obama and Reid wanted debate - so now they'll get debate, on their cloaked provisions that would cover abortion on demand in proposed new government-run and government-subsidized insurance plans.

Obama and Reid are seeking to block enactment of the bipartisan Stupak-Pitts compromise, adopted by the U.S. House of Representatives on November 7 by a vote of 240-194. This amendment would prevent government funding of elective abortion through the proposed "public option," and would also prevent federal subsidies from paying for private insurance plans that cover elective abortion.

During the weeks ahead, National Right to Life will continue to fight the efforts of President Obama and congressional Democratic leaders to cover abortion on demand in two huge new federal health programs. The Senate bill faces additional 60-vote hurdles in the future. Moreover, a courageous group of pro-life Democrats in the House of Representatives will oppose final approval of health care legislation if the Stupak-Pitts Amendment is gutted or removed.

And so will we ...Forcing Americans to buy government approved health care insurance is arguably unconstitutional. Forcing Americans to fund abortion within the government plan is without question unconscionable. - Tony Perkins

It's all about ney

President Barack Abortion - metaphorically speaking -- is increasingly becoming the angry pimp hand that is smacking the disoriented ho of our economy by pushing his massive anti-life government healthcare rationing scheme on the American public.

Things are getting serious. Earlier this week, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid unveiled a health care bill which provides for an unprecedented expansion of federally-funded abortion. In the new Senate bill, the abortion language revealed on pages 116 through 124 that the bill will:

• Require a plan that covers abortion in every insurance market. 
• Allow the U.S. Secretary of Health and Human Services to require coverage of any and all abortions through the public option. 
• Create new tax-funded subsidies to purchase private health plans that will cover abortion.

I've said it a trillion times, but it does need repeating: The majority of Americans believe that health care plans should not be mandated to provide coverage for ignorant women who elect to have their child mutilated and dissected and left swishing in the fluids of other unlucky kids whose mommies were also pro-choice.

Normal people who oppose the senseless slaying of multitudes of children feel that it is a duty to voice opposition to tax hikes, anti-life government mandates, and redistributive taxpayer-funded public options. As a result, countless Americans have been demanding that Congress actually allow the free market to work, and put socialist Obamacare in the dumpster where it belongs. (I can just hear the collective gasp from Planned Parenthood now. "You can't put Obamacare in the dumpster! That's where we put our second trimester babies!")

Speaking of civilian demands on the President, check out this juicy bit of news! I'm sure you all are aware of Obama's self-congratulatory bragging on how his stimulus bill has been "creating thousands of jobs" across the nation. Well, some pesky group of Americans called "We the People" have had the audacity to demand facts from the Obama Administration concerning what, when and exactly where these created jobs are.

Which brings us to Recovery.gov, an official government White House website (that apparently costs $84 million of tax-payers money to run) that has been posted to the public. This website lists a crap-load of jobs created in a butt-load of congressional districts to "prove" that Obama is being responsible with our money. The only problem is that a lot of the jobs - and a lot of the $787 billion that is going into helping to create those jobs - are going to Congressional Districts that don't even exist!

This means only one of two things. Either Obama lackeys can't count, or they are just dirty rotten liars.

Think about it. We are paying close to a billion dollars for some shmucks in Obama's harem to randomly tap out imaginary numbers to justify blowing our cash on who knows what. I have some theories as to why the Obamabots fudged up so horribly on this one, one of which is that since most Obama supporters can't read, they just assumed no one else would trouble themselves by actually looking at the website.

The other theory is that the Obama Administration is just filled to overflowing with liars who have no qualms inventing hundreds of phantom Congressional Districts that are magically popping up all across the nation. In all probability, it's most likely a combination of the two. After all, stupidity and deception often go hand in hand.
