To the editor: Arguments in the U.S. Supreme Court on Idaho's abortion ban imply that it is clear when a mother's life is threatened by a pregnancy. As a maternal-fetal medicine specialist, I can tell you that is not always the case. I recall two patients of mine with nonviable fetuses, a rupture of the amniotic membranes and infection of the fluid. Although the patients looked well, I recommended delivery of the fetus to clear the infection. The mothers chose to go home. They developed sepsis...
To the editor: "All men are created equal" — it seems that "they" really mean all men. ("Pregnant women are not incubators. Antiabortion states should not deny them emergency care," editorial, April 24) Men would not stand for being denied treatment for prostate cancer or cancer of the genitals because their sperm are considered human beings. They would not stand for being told that they could not have a vasectomy for the same reason. Why are men allowed control over what they do with their...
In response to editorial on ceasefire I read today’s paper while visiting my in-laws in Lowell and your recent editorial called for a permanent Gaza ceasefire, did not include hostage release. First, Hamas repeatedly declared its intention to carry out multiple Oct 7ths and called for Oct 13th as a day to kill Jews a […]

The Data Editors introduce “Embark,” the Daily’s special print issue on admissions, and reflect on the transition to college and Stanford’s role in our lives.
The Abraham Accords -- signed by Israel and the United Arab Emirates and Israel and Bahrain in 2020 -- were gaining traction.
The Democratic Party leadership wants more funding to hire more Border Patrol agents so they can process and allow more immigrants into our country -- and then distribute those people throughout the United States.
MAD, MAD WORLD It’s not only dismaying, but baffling to see modern day fascism continuing to fill our streets with hate and evil. Professional, genocide-chanting social justice martyrs are gladly professing their support for terrorists who murder, rape and torture. It is beyond comprehension that people today can knowingly and deliberately choose to side with […]
I was reading an article last week about members of the "Squad" demanding that anti-Jewish protesters be released and allowed to resume their terrorist-supporting activities -- and I have to say, this just shows that these members of Congress hate Jews.
Tulsi Gabbard is the smartest and bravest potential vice presidential candidate in America right now, in my opinion, because she speaks the truth.
Flipped Eclipse? I think the time-lapse picture of the eclipse on the cover of the April 10 issue is flipped. We watched from Montpelier, and the shadow wedge entered from the bottom and traveled up the sun. After totality, there was a sudden wedge of bright white light at the bottom that looked like the sun was shining a spotlight on us. It was not the golden sunlight; it was brilliant white and produced sharp-edged shadows. At the end, there was not the wedge we started with; rather, it looked...
So-called climate change has become a laughing matter.
