Why Do Women Need Control Over Their Bodies? Understanding Abortion Laws in India
The issue of abortion has consistently sparked considerable debate and conversation. Some individuals advocate for the rights of mothers or pregnant women to choose to continue with the pregnancy or terminate it; conversely, others believe that a foetus is more than just a mere collection of cells, viewing it as a living entity with its own life, deserving of individual rights and freedoms separate from those of the pregnant woman. A notable instance when personal freedoms were at risk was when women's access to safe abortion services was jeopardized. For many years, until 1971, India deemed abortion criminal and referred to it as “intentionally causing miscarriage.” Voluntary abortion, except in cases where the pregnant woman's life was endangered, could result in a punishment of up to three years in prison, a monetary fine, or both.

Welcoming the Sabbath
Tonight is Friday night and at sundown, Sabbath began. I was listening to one of my favorite Christian playlists, while trying not to cry, and thinking back to something a good friend said, "good things come to good people." My life has been throwing one thing after another at me - which makes me feel insane and started to question if maybe deep down I am a terrible person who is just now getting what they deserve.

KIDNEY TRANSPLANTS
In the 1930s doctors started testing a new procedure. Once believed to be impossible in medicine organ transplants are now a reality. Several groundbreaking surgeons worked on kidney transplants. They would take a healthy kidney from a living person or someone who had just passed away and put it into a patient who was close to death because of kidney failure. However these early surgeries had a big challenge: patients' immune systems would quickly see the new kidney as something strange and begin to attack it. Only a small number of patients lived beyond the first few days.

7 Days of Grieving - 6
Today was a busy and hard day. After I was done with all my four classes, I had a short conversation with my mother as I had to rush to a committee meeting. Mom lives in Russia and our Skype communication is one-way: she calls me when she can, I cannot reach her at all. So I pick up whenever she calls, even for a short call. Mom called me the first time today right in the middle of the class I was teaching. My students were amused to hear me speak Russian to her as I was making sure that nothing major bad happened and asking her to call me back later. She called about an hour later and we exchanged all the family news (we rarely talk politics as it is simply not safe). After that, I went to my Assist Committee meeting.

Donald Trump, the man of the ‘I’m Fucking Crazy’: A New Chapter at the White House.
Well, what can we say. If America’s face once seemed ambiguous or contradictory, there’s no doubt now: the United States has once again chosen the New York tycoon as the 47th President. After a campaign filled with twists and turns, Trump has triumphed over Kamala Harris, reaching and surpassing the crucial 270 electoral votes with a lead of 5 million votes. Like it or not, the result reflects exactly what over half of Americans want for the White House.

No Pain, No Gain?
I remember as a little girl thinking my grandmother was the most loving and craziest person I knew. Nobody loved me better in my opinion, however she would say some really disturbing things. Before I had even stepped foot into a school, she had told me two things that had me very worried: 1. "Life is extremely hard." 2. "It only gets harder as you get older." I believed her, yet I think that's why I was also so quick to give up or get so suicidally depressed. It's not that she was serving me a deception, and I know her intentions were to prepare me for the challenges ahead, but perhaps that pep talk would have been better served at a later time.
