We're closely monitoring the spread of COVID-19 and our priority is continuing to deliver care to the women who need us. Click here to read more.
Pope Francis has made a statement that, for the remainder of the Jubilee Year, all priests will be permitted to absolve women of "the sin of abortion" - if they repent with "a contrite heart".
The change represents a temporary relaxation of Catholic rules, and will only begin in December and run until late November 2016. The change will also have no affect on Catholics in England, Wales and Scotland, as priests there can already forgive abortion without seeking permission from a bishop.
A spokesperson for Marie Stopes International said:
"Abortion services are a normal and necessary part of reproductive healthcare, and one in three women in the UK will have an abortion in her lifetime. We do not believe that any woman needs to seek forgiveness for making a considered choice about whether and when to have children."
Societal stigma, stringent laws, and lack of access to safe abortion in some countries has led to unsafe abortion remaining the biggest threat to maternal health around the world. In 2014 we worked to extend choice to over 18 million women, and averted 3.9 million unsafe abortions.

Wildlife park reopens in time for fall migration
A Council Bluffs couple who has been coming to the DeSota National Wildlife Refuge each fall since 1981 is glad the park's gates are back open.
For 16 days, national parks and monuments were closed to the public because of the partial government shutdown. DeSota National Wildlife Refuge, 30 miles north of Omaha, was one of them.
"This is the time of year we really enjoy work more than any other -- the fall migration and the spring migration," said Ken Block, visitors services manager.
Diane and Scoot Rathman missed the sight of migrating birds during the 16-day shutdown.
-- Video: Couple continues national park tradition
"The shutdown was such a disappointment because we knew the trees were turning color and we couldn't come up here and see them," the couple said.
The Rathmans have been coming to the refuge at least once a week, sometimes twice a week, since the visitor center opened in 1981.
"National parks are special for everybody in the country. They are our country's trust that things will be cared for and taken care of," the Rathmans said.
When the government shut down on Oct. 1, so did national parks, leaving the Rathmans on the outside looking in.
"At one point, we came over to the gate and just sat there at the gate and just looked in the refuge because we wanted to at least see what it looked like from a distance," the Rathmans said.
The gates are open once again, allowing visitors back inside to take in the sights and sounds during what some call the best time of year.
"If we see wildlife, that's wonderful. If we don't, it doesn't matter because it's always beautiful here," the couple said.

If you follow me on Facebook you might have noticed that I have spent a good deal of time canning in the past few weeks. So far I have mainly been canning different types of jelly and apples. Lots of apples might I add. 🙂 While canning apples I hated to throw away the peels knowing that it was possible to take the peels and turn them into jelly. So that's what I did. I couldn't have been more pleased with the results.
How to Make Jelly from Peelings and Scraps:
- Place all peelings and leftover apple parts in the largest pot you own. Add water (I think I used about 4 cups?). Cook about 4 hours.
- You will need a jelly bag or pillowcase to place the water and peelings inside. I didn't have a jelly bag so I sewed one up while my apple peels were simmering. I made it by sewing 2 pieces of fabric 14″ X 24″ right sides together. Turn inside out and add a casing at the top. Insert ribbon. Viola. So simple to make although I would probably make mine about 1/2 as tall next time. Ideal size would be more like: 14″ X 12″.
Place your peels and juice into the jelly bag. Hang it from a hook in your kitchen with a large bowl underneath. You could also use a jelly stand. I do not have any hooks or cabinet pulls in my kitchen so I ended up placing the bag in a strainer on top of a large bowl.
Periodically I squeezed and kneaded the bag in my hands to release more juice.
- After a few hours the juice is ready to make into jelly. You can either make it immediately or store the juice in the refrigerator.
- My large pot of peelings yielded 3 quarts of juice.
Jelly Making:
Batch 1 (Without Pectin): I used the Apple Jelly recipe in the Ball Blue Book (pg. 35): 4 cups apple juice, 3 cups sugar, 2 T. lemon juice. Stir constantly until sugar dissolves. Bring to a boil and cook to a gelling point. Remove from heat. Skim foam. Place in jars and process 10 minutes. Somehow I ended up cooking my jelly too long. Instead of yielding 4 half pints I was left with only 2! Oops. Guess I made some yummy apple syrup? 🙂
Batch 2 (With Pectin): For the second batch I decided to take the easy way out and use some Pectin. You can either purchase Sure Jell or Ball Natural Fruit Pectin. It was so easy to make the jelly using pectin! I may never try to make jelly without it again. Well at least not for a couple of weeks. I just followed the directions included with the box.

'A Star Is Born' was screened at the Toronto International Film Festival where the audience could not stop themselves from admiring Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper. Along with writing the screenplay, the remake of the classic musical was partly directed by Bradley Cooper himself, which is really commendable as the critical response of the movie is above what was expected.
It is not like Lady Gaga has not ever acted before. She has been in several music videos, and movies such as 'Machete Kills', 'Sin City: A Dame to Kill For' and 'American Horror Story' but her role of young talented Ally in the A Star Is Born has set her acting skills to the sky. The audience also appreciated Bradley Cooper's Jackson Maine.
The movie follows the story an aspiring singer, Ally (Lady Gaga) who gets the overnight success after meeting up with singer-songwriter Jackson Maine (Bradley Cooper). Maine mentors Ally into becoming a superstar while the two eventually falls in love.
A Star Is Born the chemistry between the characters of Coper and Gaga. For the movie, Bradley sang all the songs himself alongside Gaga. The duo performed a few of the songs from the film in front of live audiences. Cooper plays his drug and alcohol addicted rock star character and brings a lot of empathy to it. Lady Gaga belts out the ballads for the movie, and it is terrifyingly awesome.
Lady Gaga and Cooper worked together in some workshops for their roles in the movie. She dyed her hair and took makeup off for a few months before the shooting, in order to get into the character. Admiring Cooper's support during the shoot, she said, "It was a challenge, but Bradley says it to me in the film, and he said it to me every day: 'All you've got to do is trust me.'"

Last weekend I took some much needed 'me' time, a few hours away from home and demanding children. It was bliss. I like to try to get together with my cousin Lisa regularly. She's more like a sister to me so I feel it's important that our relationship doesn't get neglected by the busy lives we both lead. Lisa suggested we visit Bygone Times.
Bygone Times is an antiques and collectables centre based in Chorley, Lancashire. It's a unique shopping experience where you can find everything from vintage clothing and furniture to collectable memorabilia. There is also a Titanic exhibition and war museum included in the entry price.
One of the most wonderful things about growing up together is that we share so many lovely memories of our grandparents. Our Nan's house was like an aladdin's cave, full of ornaments and other shiny wonders. We love nothing more than to reminisce about the time we spent there. Lisa had been to Bygone Times before and told me it was just like being back at our Nan's house.
We spent hours walking around, there was so much to look at it was like a sensory overload. I thought of it like a huge warehouse full of memories and knick-knacks of bygone days. It was so nice to lose ourselves in memories of our childhood's.
If books are your thing then this place would be heaven for you. There were cases and cases of books and magazines from yesteryear.
We almost forgot about lunch we were that immersed in the nostalgia of it all. There's a lovely cafe on site where we stopped for a Pannini and some delicious chips.
The centre is also said to be haunted and we certainly felt some chills on parts of our walk around. They host ghost nights regularly if you brave enough to partake.
On one of the floors there is a penny arcade with vintage penny push and slot machines.
My favourite part was one of the lower floors full of vintage car parts and beautiful antique furniture and clothes. I found a rail full of vintage wedding dresses. I was amazed at how beautiful they were and how much love and attention must have gone in to making them. I wondered where those brides were now and if they are still married to their true loves.
We came across so many things that our Nan had in her display cabinets, shelves and on her fire place. From brass ornaments to the Bossons Head's that she proudly displayed on the wall. It's been over twenty years since she passed but I miss her terribly. Seeing all these things brought her to life again for me if only for a little while.
Everything at the centre is for sale and I couldn't believe how reasonably priced most of it is. You can even telephone some of the unit holders to haggle for a lower price.
We had such a lovely time and I'm sure we will go back time and time again for lots more trips down memory lane together.

Using Some Candy Corn Decor For Season-Long Decorations
I really love decorating my home for the holidays, but I enjoy how it looks more than actually decorating. I actually hate the process of pulling everything out of storage and putting it all up, so I try to put up some decorations that will last for more than just one holiday. That can be a little tough for some holidays, but I think that a lot of fall decorations can last from the beginning of fall through Thanksgiving. Or at least all the decorations that I use last that long.
I looked online for some ideas with my wireless internet Nashville to find some good fall through Thanksgiving seasonal decorations.
I decided on using some candy corn decor because not only is it appropriate as fall decor, but it also is one of my favorite kinds of candy! It alsways makes me sad that I have to stock up on candy corn around Halloween because it isn't really sold outside of that season. So this is just one more way to celebrate it. Not all of my decorations now are candy corn themed, but there's defeintiely a good representation fo my favorite fall candy in the mix.

Let's Have "Straight Talk" Now
This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Straight Talk for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine.
The getting richer effect has expanded... by LittleBard95
My husband just received a call from a certain phone company for him to switch provider. We are using three providers right now and the other one is not actually used since there's no signal out here where we live. We live up in the hills and it's 45 minutes away from the big city. So that network can't provide signal here, if lucky, there is but expect to have drop calls. That's why hubby just left the phone at the office in the city where there is signal and just forward the calls. We are paying for that and it is so expensive.
When hubby received the call this morning, he is considering to give it a try. But I told him about Straight Talk which provides unlimited monthly service for only $45 that includes call, texting, picture messaging and web. That's the amount we are paying right now for just a call plan, no text, no picture messaging and no web. Imagine how much we can save with Straight Talk compared to our current provider if we get the same plan. They have great national coverage too so I am anticipating a good signal up here. I told hubby to switch to Android too since I am using it. He has a palm phone that he has been using for a long time. I told him about The power of Android. I love my phone so I want him to have the same thing. You will Feel Richer with Android! So if hubby would want to switch provider, he should go with Straight Talk and use Android phones, with no contract. We don't have to worry with bills and we also can save a lot of money. If you are interested too, visit their website so you can learn more about Straight Talk. Let's have a "Straight Talk" now!

What I Wanted To Be
I have been dreaming to become a nurse when I was a kid. But I became a teacher then a Mom who stays at home. If I pursued my dream I could have worn scrubs now and been browsing http://www.blueskyscrubs.com/ for the uniforms to work. But I am happy what I am now and just content to see my relatives and friends wearing scrubs and buying scrub sets online and in store. How about You?

Virtual Reality – Yes, It's Here
[the_ad id="1138″]
Remember the days when putting on a helmet that transported you into a virtual world was the stuff of science fiction? Well, those days are long gone. Virtual reality is here. Put on a VR headset to play games, watch movies or even certain YouTube videos, as if you yourself were actually there in the game, movie, or video.
The most prominent virtual reality headset available right now is the Oculus Rift – although only development kits right now. If you haven't heard of virtual reality before, you might be surprised to hear that there's actually a huge selection of headsets right now. You can currently buy virtual reality headsets from Samsung, Sony, Microsoft, HTC, and many more.
