Quick Glance: Lack of Compassion in Abortion Discourse
  • The abortion discourse has led to a lack of compassion in society.

  • We have ceased to consider those seeking abortion as parents or as individuals doing their best given the circumstances.

  • Many individuals will use the story of the Kate Cox family as a basis for further debating abortion.

  • Others will undoubtedly pass judgment if the family even considers ending the life of their unborn child.

Quick Glance: Pfizer Raises Price of Covid-19 Medication Paxlovid as US Transitions from Pandemic Phase
  • Price of lifesaving Covid-19 antiviral Paxlovid will more than double as the US transitions out of the emergency phase.

  • The price is 2.6 times higher than the $530-per-course price paid by the US government during the pandemic.

  • The company will provide assistance with copays, potentially reducing out-of-pocket costs to nothing for eligible individuals.

  • People with Medicare or Medicaid or without insurance can receive Paxlovid for free through 2024 via a patient assistance program, according to the US Department of Health and Human Services.
