Sunshine and Joy: Is the Pro Life Movement Hypocrisy at Its Finest?
Yes, I am pro-life, but that doesn't mean I am perfectly happy with our movement, and that doesn't mean I am blind to the hypocrisy in it.
Let's take a second to look at what some pro-choice people have been posting about us:
There's sadly a bit of truth in this.
“Pure religion and undefiled before God and the Father is this, To visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep himself unspotted from the world.” -James 1:27
How are we, as Christians, or just as good people doing that?
I'm here to ask you, then what?
You get home from The March For Life, then what? Do you just go back to normal? Maybe post a few pictures stating the obvious: abortion is wrong, y'all! Then by the next week, you've pretty much put that behind you and have continued living your comfy lifestyle.
You went and saw Unplanned, got really fired up, ordered a pro-life bumper sticker and T-shirt like any other authentic conservative, wrote a lengthy Facebook post on the horrors of abortion, maybe even a blog post, but then what?
Abortion is horrible? Yes, it most certainly is.
But you want to know what else is horrible?
The countless kids that face abuse in the homes of people who took them in for all the wrong reasons.
Being passed from home to home, family to family like you're a piece of trash.
Aging out of the system with no family and no place to call home.
That's just as horrible.
And even worse? I see so many good people turn a blind eye to this.
I always wonder what would have happened to my siblings if we hadn't adopted them. I hesitate to write that because I don't want to come across like I think we saved them, I can't stand it when we go places and people look at us like we were their saviors, because we weren't. My parents are just people who did the right thing.
But what would have happened?
I look at them together, how much they love each other, and it pains me to think that they most likely wouldn't have been able to stay together if we hadn't obeyed God.
I look at my own biological siblings and I can't imagine the possibility of losing my parents and being separated from them, I can't imagine the fear that I would never see them again.
I've been asked before if I plan to adopt one day, and my response is always along the lines of:
How could I not adopt?
How could I raise my own biological children in (hopefully) a safe, loving Christian home while not reaching out to any of the countless children who need safety and love just as much as my own children?
How could I sit idly by and claim to be pro-life when I know what those kids are going through? When I've heard the stories first hand from my siblings, when I've seen the tears and the pain?
I won't be able to sit by and do nothing, and I pray when the time comes you won't either.
The majority of my blog readers are teens around my age, and even though it doesn't seem like it right now, we have so much impact as the next generation.
Close your eyes and imagine a world where every Christian or even just simply morally good and sound families adopted at least one child.
Imagine the change we could bring.
Imagine how we could fix the system.
I've been around and heard so many stories of so many amazing people who are making a difference.
Foster and adoptive families are the strongest and most loving people I know, and there needs to be more of them.
I am pro-life because I believe life matters, but not just when the life is inside the womb, but outside it as well.
It's time that we as a pro-life moment, as Christians, as people who think lives matter take a long hard look at ourselves in the mirror and ask ourselves; what are we really doing?

AMEN! I’m not gonna lie: I got really nervous when I saw the title of this post. XD But I agree with all your points! We need to show respect, love, and care for EVERYONE, not just inside the womb. We’re “pro-life” not just “pro-baby”. Amazing post, Gray! <3
Gray Marie April 16, 2019 at 6:55 PM
Haha, I don't blame you, it is a bit jarring. I had it as a statement before but decided to soften it.
I'll second that. <3 Thank you for reading, Nicole!
Allison Riera April 16, 2019 at 4:07 PM
wow. this post is amazing, Gray. <3 <3 and it's so true. We're an adoptive family, and it breaks my heart to know that so many children don't have a loving home.
just like Nicole said, we're "pro-life", not just "pro-baby". <3 <3
such a powerful, moving post, Gray. <3
Gray Marie April 16, 2019 at 6:56 PM

At first, when I read the title of your post, I was skeptical. I was thinking "How could there be an hypocrisy?" But once again, you've taught me to think deeper than I was before and you've convinced me to consider adoption in the future.
I am totally in support of adoption and how there are kids that need to be adopted. I only wish America didn't make it hard to adopt American kids who need homes here. Instead people turn to foreign adoption when so many kids here need help. (Not to say kids outside of America don't need help, too, don't get me wrong they do.) There's just a lot messed up with everything in society right now, but you are bringing change, positive change, to this world. So thank you. <3
Gray Marie April 16, 2019 at 7:02 PM
I wish it wasn't so hard as well, it's certainly a flawed system and we had to fight a bit in order to get my siblings, but luckily the people are good, the system is just complicated. :/ It's 100% worth it though.

not just inside the womb, but out of it...LOVE THAT! I think it's cool how you said, people look at your family like you are your siblings savior or something...but it's not like that. I think it would be crazy amazing if we all took one step and adopted one child. You're right...it would be such a huge change and difference. :)
It would be an amazing difference, and I believe we can do it.

I love the idea of adoption, though unfortunately in NZ I don't think they allow it. :( Adoption is definitely important!
That's so unfortunate and terrible! :/
Lily Cat April 17, 2019 at 4:40 AM
Amen!!! This is so so so so true!!! Even if we of the younger set aren't capable of adopting right at this moment, we still have a voice, we still have ourselves. We can use these to impact the lives of the children. This is such a convicting post, Gray!! I was always disgusted at the hypocrisy in the systems that were supposed to be "good". Ahh, before I go into a long rant, I shall close myself down by saying; VERY good job, Gray!! This was fantastic!!! <3

Keturah Lamb April 17, 2019 at 5:37 AM
Sooooooo true. I'm appalled at the state our foster care system is in ... they basically treat those kids like animals, forcing them to move from home to home, with all of their possessions in a black trash bag. And few people want to actually /do/ something about it. As for myself, I want to do more than merely adopt, I want to see reformation in the system itself.
Also, my FAVORITE ministry ever is dedicated to saving the mother as well as the baby both spiritually and financially. I think you'd totally love them ... they are called "Save the Storks" https://savethestorks.com/
To me it's appalling how so many people will turn a blind eye to foster kids, homeless people, and elderly. Yes, many of these people bring harm on themselves, but God never gave us an exception when it comes to helping and loving and serving others.
(And I may have been a bit hesitant when I read the title, too, though I love titles that make you hesitant ;D
Gray Marie April 17, 2019 at 3:13 PM
SAME HERE. It's absolutely terrible.
I haven't heard of that ministry, but that sounds so great! :D
Thank you! And I totally get why you hesitated. ;P
A.L. Buehrer April 17, 2019 at 7:05 AM
Great post. Though honestly, I don't think naysayers have much of a case. As far as I've seen, the pro-life movement actually does seem to be strongly pro-adoption and pro-foster parenting, and overall, actually pretty all-encompassing. I think critics are setting up a bit of a straw-man.
I've never really encountered a pro-life activist who ceased caring about humanity after it was born. The pro-life viewpoint stems naturally from love for humanity, I think.
Gray Marie April 17, 2019 at 3:15 PM
There are a good amount of people who put action with their words in the pro life movement for sure. <3
Kara Lynn April 17, 2019 at 11:11 AM
AMEN a thousand times over Gray! AMEN! My heart longs to foster and adopt kids. Honestly I don't even know if I feel called to have my own because I long to take care of the orphans and fatherless.
This is so true and something I've wanted to write about for awhile but haven't taken the time. Beautiful post and many hugs to your family for having a heart that every family needs to have. Not everyone is called to adopt but we are all ncalled to love the unloved. <3 <3 <3
Gray Marie April 17, 2019 at 3:16 PM
Ahhh, that's so awesome, Kara! <333 It's always wonderful coming across people with the heart for adoption + fostering. <3 <3
Chinalyi Bk April 17, 2019 at 11:36 AM
Yeah, I agree. And I think a large reason that people are pro-life but don’t necessarily think about fostering/adopting is because it’s easier to say something than do something about it. My family fostered for a while, and it is hard. But that doesn’t mean that we give up on those children. We need to fight for both the unborn, but in some ways even more important, those who are in need currently. And I understand that fostering/adopting is not something that everyone is called to do, but we can still support those who do. Love isn’t “specialized” to one single problem; it should cover a “multitude of sins.” We need to be careful not to lose sight of other problems since we’re so focused on one. Great post. ����
Gray Marie April 18, 2019 at 5:50 AM
That's sad but true. :/ Action speaks louder than words, we do need to fight. <3
Libby May April 17, 2019 at 3:47 PM
GRAY CAN I JUST SCREAM FOR A SECOND?!?!?
Long story short, my heart breaks so much about this abortion that's going around, millions of babies every year, their innocent blood crying out to God from the ground and after lunch I asked "God what do you want ME to do? Am I doing enough? You've given me a life and a personality I believe can make a difference, what do you want me to do?!"
I've been intereseted in the foster care system since I was a little girl and I've continued to get to know how it works, my debut and the sequel is about foster care, and I plan (with God's will) to absolutly foster when I have a home to do so in. Thank you Gray. You were SUCH a direct answer to a prayer. Thank you for this post!
Gray Marie April 18, 2019 at 5:52 AM
AHHH THAT'S SO WONDERFUL, LIBBY MAY. <33 Bless you and your heart for the Lord and for his children!! <3 <3

LHE April 17, 2019 at 7:30 PM
At first, like Ivie said, the title stunned me for a second. I had never thought about it before. But, then I read on, and it breaks my heart to say this, but it can be very true.
I've always loved little kids, and you will never know how happy it made me, knowing your family adopted them. And seeing how happy they are with your family is bittersweet to me because it reminds me that there are so many out there that don't have that same joy of being with a family that loves them. It's a sad truth that many in the foster care system are only taken in for the money, not for the kids themselves, and that really hurts me. And not only that, but the horrors of the foster system are heart wrenching. I agree with everything you've said and I wish the families who could afford to take on another child would act on their pro-life passion instead of just holding signs in the streets. But I’ve come to realize that we are all meant for different things and God uses us each in different ways. Some are meant to protest injustices while others are meant to act on them, and in this case, acting on it would be to adopt the babies that would have been murdered from abortion. I’ve always felt like I want to lead kids and be a role model for them, and fostering is a dream of mine. If I can, I’d like to have kids of my own and foster as well (one of the happiest times for me is getting to be around little ones), but if it’s meant to be, I’ll foster in good time.
Anyway, thank you so much for this post! It awakened my dream I had forgotten of, and I hope it does for others as well! And thanks again for making a difference and adopting those kids, it really means a lot to me. You’ll never know. <3
Gray Marie April 18, 2019 at 5:58 AM
I get why it stunned you for a second.
Children are such a blessing, and it is so sad that there are so many in need. It's true that we are all called to different things, and I'm glad that you're thinking of fostering in the future. <3

Lilly Shyree April 19, 2019 at 2:46 PM
Yes, very true! We need to be loving and reaching out the fatherless! But I do think that many are already doing that. Actually, Abby Johnson (who wrote Unplanned) has adopted multiple children as well as being the one of the head of the pro-life movement. I can agree that some of us perhaps need to do that more (adopt, foster, etc.) but we really need to make sure that we are being lead by the Lord to do so. We have some friends who just adopted kids who they really were not prepared for and there were tragic consequences.
Great points! <333
LHE April 20, 2019 at 7:42 AM
I agree with you completely about the need to make sure you are being led by the Lord to adopt and such. Sometimes we take on things that we don't really have the strength to pull off, and that's what makes God's leading so special. With HIS strength we can do the things he calls us to do. Even things that seem to be beyond our reach. I'm so sorry about your friend's accident—that really hurts me. <3

Mary Kate April 20, 2019 at 7:59 AM
I've actually never seen this part of the pro-life movement before.
In my area/group, most of the people I know have adopted or plan to. My cities group runs a ministry that helps mothers if they decide to keep the baby. They buy or get donations of formula, baby clothes and diapers and use them to help support the mothers. They also take strollers and car seats and other more expensive things. That way the mothers don't have to spend that extra money.
And they get older more experienced moms to come in and teach them how to take care of the baby and talk to them. I wish I could remember what the program was called...
I love how you used this as a call to action.If I ever want a family, I'm 100% going to adopt. Hopefully more young adult people will too.
Gray Marie April 22, 2019 at 6:39 AM
That's so great! I wish you did as well, because that's so amazing. <33
Emily Mundell April 22, 2019 at 11:45 AM
Thank you so, so much for saying this, that needs so badly to be said. I hate this hypocrisy as well. Christians and conservatives are really failing in this area. Adoption is important and valid and, I think, something most every Christian family should be willing to do.
Gray Marie April 23, 2019 at 10:16 PM
It is so important!! Thanks, Emily. <33
Emily G April 23, 2019 at 5:24 PM
This is something I don't think people consider (I know I haven't). Like, life is equally important whether it's been born yet or not, but YES, I've wondered just how different the world could be if everybody put a little more effort into the lives around them that are suffering. On this particular topic, I mean, if they can't adopt, there's still SOMETHING they could do.
Thank you for talking about this. So important. <3
There's for sure always something. <3

U.S. Supreme CourtRichardson v. Louisville & Nashville R. Co., 169 U.S. 128 (1898)Richardson v. Louisville & Nashville Railroad CompanyNo. 251Submitted December 18, 1897Decided January 17, 1898169 U.S. 128ERROR TO THE SUPREME COURT
SyllabusOn a motion to dismiss for want of jurisdiction, this Court being of opinion that the ruling of the state court on the points upon which the case turned there was obviously correct, does not feel constrained to retain the case for further argument, and accordingly affirms the judgment. Page 169 U. S. 129This was an action of ejectment brought in a state court of Florida to recover tracts of land at and near Pensacola alleged to have been granted to the person from whom the plaintiff deraigned title by the Spanish superintendent general before the acquisition of Florida by the United States. Judgment was entered for the defendants by the trial court, which judgment was sustained by the supreme court of the state. The grounds upon which each of these judgments was founded are briefly stated in the opinion of the Court, below. The defendant in error moved to dismiss the case for want of jurisdiction. His motion was as follows:"Comes the appellee, the Louisville and Nashville Railroad Company, by its counsel of record, Gregory L. Smith, and moves the court to dismiss the above entitled cause for want of jurisdiction in the Supreme Court of the United States to review the same, in that:""It does not appear from the record that the questions relied upon by the plaintiff in error to give jurisdiction to this court were presented to the state courts for consideration at the proper time and in the proper manner.""The Supreme Court of Florida based its decision upon two sufficient grounds, at least one of which does not involve, and is not claimed to involve, a federal question.""No federal question sufficient to give jurisdiction to this court to review the decision of the state court is involved in the cause or was decided by the Supreme Court of Florida."MR. CHIEF JUSTICE FULLER delivered the opinion of the court.This was an action of ejectment brought by plaintiff in error in the Circuit Court of Escambia County, Florida.On the trial, plaintiff offered in evidence an alleged Spanish grant of several tracts from Don Alexander Ramirez, intendant of the army and superintendent general of Cuba and the two Floridas, to Don Vicente Sebastian Pintado, with proof of Page 169 U. S. 130 execution, and also deraignment of paper title from Pintado's heirs to himself. No evidence was offered of actual prior occupation. The property sued for was included in one of the tracts, described as follows:"The lands designated by the letter 'C' are an extension or tract of the Bay of Pensacola, whose superficies of water is equal to an area of 718 1/2 arpents, superficial, occupying between the eastern point, of the mouth of the Creek of Casa Blanca, commonly called 'Bayou Chico,' and the western point of the mouth of the rivulet or Creek of Texar, commonly called 'Bayou Texar,' and a line drawn in the direction of southeast of the needle, ninety-five perches of Paris, within the sea, from the aforesaid first point, and the other line of 100 of said perches in length, counted from the second point mentioned within the sea, also from the same point of southeast of the needle, which embraces the whole of the front from the one to the other mouth of the Creeks of Casa Blanca and Texar, between which is the Town of Pensacola, the whole conforming and according to the plan annexed, made for the greater clearness and understanding, in which is represented the figure which the said land forms in the water and the limits within the Bay of Pensacola, being that part of the land and beach which is found between the said two points of the mouths of the mentioned creeks, the curve which the shore of the water of the sea at the highest tide in calm weather makes, and with the depth from the surface of the water as far as ten feet English below the actual bottom, or towards the center of the earth, in the whole, the space which the figure represented in the said plan C embraces, considering it as a solid, since it has these three dimensions of longitude, latitude, and depth. . . . The whole in full property, and for the purpose of constructing wharves and houses for bathing; reserving and saving not only the right of his majesty, but also that of the public at all times, whenever it becomes convenient and it be designed to construct wharves, with whatsoever funds, municipal or common, intending the exclusion only with respect to particular individuals. "Page 169 U. S. 131Defendants objected to the introduction of the grant upon the following grounds, viz.:"The grant, so far as it relates to the locus in quo, was a mere license to Pintado to use the property in a particular way, and vested in him no sufficient time upon which to recover in ejectment.""Because said grant, so far as it relates to the locus in quo, was not an exclusive grant of the property occupied by the defendants.""Because said grant, so far as it relates to the locus in quo, was not within the delegated authority of the officer who attempted to grant the same.""Because said grant, so far as it relates to the locus in quo, is not one which was validated or recognized by the treaty between the United States and Spain.""Because it is not shown that Alexander Ramirez had the power or authority to make said grant, so far as it related to the locus in quo."The trial court sustained defendants' objections, and excluded the grant, and plaintiff excepted.Thereupon a verdict was returned for defendants, and judgment entered thereon, from which an appeal was taken to the supreme court of the state. In that court, the plaintiff in error assigned but one error, to-wit, "the refusal of the court to admit in evidence the grant from Alexander Ramirez to Vicente S. Pintado."The Supreme Court of Florida affirmed the judgment, and held that the purpose of the grant"as to the water front therein described was not to grant the land and water as such within the described limits, but the right to use the same, within such limits and to the depth stated below the surface of the soil, for the purpose of constructing wharves and houses for bathing, such right of use being to the exclusion of any similar right of use in any other individuals, and subordinate to the right of the King and the public to construct wharves with municipal or common funds within such limits; also, that, while the King of Spain could have made such a grant to Pintado, it would have been contrary to his laws then in Page 169 U. S. 132 force in West Florida, and a case of special exception from their effect, and that Ramirez had no authority to make the grant, and it was void, and vested no title in the grantee."Richardson v. Sullivan's Executors, 20 S. 815. And see Sullivan v. Richardson, 33 Fla. 1, where the case is fully considered on a prior appeal.On affirming the judgment, the supreme court entered an order to the effect that in holding the grant void, a claim by plaintiff of a right, title, or privilege under the treaty between the United States and Spain of February 22, 1819, had been disposed of adversely to him, and a writ of error from this Court was allowed.As before stated, defendants objected to the admission of the grant in evidence on the grounds that, so far as it related to the locus in quo, it "was a mere license to Pintado to use the property in a particular way, and vested in him no sufficient title on which to recover in ejectment," and also that the grant "was not within the delegated authority of the officer who attempted to grant the same." Thus, the construction of the grant and its validity were presented for consideration as distinct inquiries, and while the trial court assigned no reasons for its action, the supreme court passed on both questions, and in its first opinion elaborately discussed them.But in sustaining the ruling of the trial court in excluding the alleged grant, the supreme court rested its decision on the want of authority to make such a grant as it held this to be. Therefore the contention on behalf of plaintiff in error is that this Court necessarily has jurisdiction. As, however, we entirely concur with the state court in the view that the grant was not a grant of title, but of a mere license, easement, or right of use, and no evidence of prior possession was offered, we need not consider whether the grant, as thus correctly construed, was valid or not, for even if valid, the ruling on this record could not have been other than it was. That ruling was so obviously correct that we do not feel constrained to retain the case for further argument. Chanute City v. Trader,132 U. S. 210.Judgment affirmed.

Hi Lovely Duckling, Loved your response. I definately hear ya on the well fed part! I love food and chocolate is definately a diet killer for me. I had to lately ask my guides for more abundance of exersize. LOL The best thing we can do is just to love ourselves unconditionally and sometimes there is just more of us to love. Big Hugs and many blessings to you. Randall

Hi Jacqueline, Pleasure to meet you. You have a beautiful grounded spirit. Definately radiating love and beauty. I was already thinking of contacting you to see if we could co-write a piece on Sweat lodge. So if you would like to let me know and we can ask Jen if it is possible. Yes I have done my 4 years Sundancing. I have pierced in my chest and on my back. One of the more beautiful and healing experiences I have had was the power of Sundance and Sweat lodge when done with respect and purity and loving intentions. I have got to be careful of how much information I can share about the Sundance. It is the most sacred ceremony and the elders really frown upon it being recorded in any fashion. I will definately share what I can. I run my own Sweat lodges. I was shown by my father who taught me how to build and run a Sweat lodge and passed on his songs. My indian name is Buffalo Head- The one to see where to go. Do you have an indian name? Sundancing is one of the biggest commitments I have made in my life but it also one of the things that has given me the most in my life. Pray about it and if it is meant to happen it will happen for you. Ah Inixiquah ( All my relations) My spelling might be off a little on that. I can sing, speak and hear Blackfoot better than I can write it. Big Hugs Randall, and Doreen and the 11 lovebirds

Drain the swamp little by little
People get fired every day.
He looked like he enjoyed the press conferences.
And it appears that Rahm and his hand-picked board still haven't learned their lesson. A friend told me that a rumor floats about CPS right now that all of the technology people who work in the schools are going to lose their jobs because IT is going the way of the engineers and custodial staff. The kicker is that the person who is bidding on this lucrative, multi-year contract to perform all IT services is actually a woman who oversaw the department for 20 years or so, and she has serious connections to the guy from Wilmette that hid his wife's wedding dress in the crawlspace of that house on the 4200 block of North Hermitage. This is Barbara Byrd Bennett all over, except the stakes will be even higher with "untagged" merchandise walking out the doors and an even bigger contract awarded. But they don't have the money to keep the doors open.
Are the media snoops reading this? How about either of the Inspector Generals? What about the guy who claims to be friends with a guy who knows Jeff Sessions really well? Someone needs to stop this little Monster Rahm from blowing even more money on connected friends and their corporations.

US 4901708 AAbstract
A laryngoscope curved blade includes a pair of fiber optic bundles, one fiber optic bundle adapted to transmit light to the distal end of the blade and the other fiber optic bundle adapted to provide a viewing channel for telescopic viewing of the area adjacent to the distal end of the blade. A lens attached to the proximal end of the blade gathers and focuses the light transmitted by the viewing channel fiber optic bundle. Additionally, a lamp located on the proximal end of the blade provides illumination down the throat of a patient for line of sight viewing of the person performing the largyngoscope and the light transmitted by the first fiber optic bundle for illumination of the area adjacent to the distal end of the blade.
1. A laryngoscope which comprises a handle member adapted to receive batteries therein, a blade member having distal and proximal ends, means for attaching the proximal end of the blade member to the handle member, said blade member having a spatula portion curved longitudinally along its length and transversely across its width to provide an open bottom U-shaped tubulation and viewing channel along its length when inserted in the mouth of the user, a lamp member energized by batteries in the handle suspended from the proximal end of the blade member, below and facing said tubulation and viewing channel to illuminate for viewing and tubulation channel in the area between the distal and proximal ends of the spatula portion of said blade member, a first fiber optic bundle extending lengthwise on one leg of the tubulation an viewing channel from adjacent said lamp member and transmitting short of the distal end of the spatula to receive light from the lamp member and illuminate the area adjacent the distal end of the blade member, a lens on the proximal end of the blade member, a second fiber optic bundle extending lengthwise on the opposite leg of the channel terminating adjacent the distal end of the blade member beyond said first bundle to transmit the lighted view from adjacent said distal end to said lens, and said tubulation and viewing channel portion between the fiber optic bundles being unimpeded for tubulation and providing a clear sight path from the proximal end of the blade member along length of the spatula portion.
2. The laryngoscope of claim 1 including a wide dispersion lens on the distal end of the first fiber optic bundle to widely disperse the light emitted therefrom.
3. The laryngoscope of claim 1 including a second lens coupled to the distal end of the second fiber optic bundle to focus the light to the proximal end of the blade.
4. A laryngoscope blade member having proximal and distal ends with means at the proximal end for attachment to a battery carrying handle, a longitudinally elongated spatula portion between said ends, said spatula portion being transversely curved along its length to provide a viewing and tubulation channel which is open along its length, a lamp means suspended from the proximal end of the blade adapted to be energized from batteries in a handle attached to the blade and positioned to illuminate the tubulation channel in the area between the distal and proximal ends of the blade, a fiber optic bundle extending along one side of the channel for transmitting light from the lamp means to the area surrounding the distal end of the blade, and said lamp means and said bundle being positioned out of the viewing and tubulation portion of the channel to provide an unobstructed viewing and tubulation path along the length of the spatula portion.
5. The blade member of claim 4 including an upstanding leg means at the proximal end thereof mounting said lamp means below the viewing channel.
6. The laryngoscope of claim 4 including a second fiber optic bundle transmitting the view from the illuminated distal area of the spatula portion to the proximal end of the blade.
7. A laryngoscope blade having a proximal and distal ends and adapted to be affixed to a battery carrying laryngoscope handle member at its proximal end, said blade having a spatula portion between the proximal and distal ends of the blade, said spatula portion being curved longitudinally about its midpoint to embrace the tongue and throat of a user and also being curved transversely along its length to provide an open bottom viewing and tubulation channel with opposite sides, a lamp means attached to the proximal end of the blade adapted to be energized from batteries in the handle to illuminate the viewing and tubulation channel in the area between the distal and proximal end of the blade, a first fiber optic bundle along the length of the spatula portion at one side of the channel adapted to transmit light from the lamp means toward the distal end of the blade, a second fiber optic bundle attached along the length of the opposite side of the channel adapted to transmit the view from the light illuminated distal end portion of the blade to the proximal end of the blade, a viewing lens at the proximal end of the blade attached to said second optic bundle, and said first and second fiber optic bundles being positioned out of the path of said viewing and tubulation channel.
The present invention relates generally to medical diagnostic and surgical instruments and, in particular, to an improved laryngoscope including a blade incorporating fiber optic bundles thereon.
A human, like most vertebrates, has a plurality of internal passageways, tracts, tubes or pipes communicating between the mouth and the stomach or the lungs. The pharynx is a tract that extends from the nasal cavities to the larynx. The larynx is the upper part of the respiratory tract between the pharynx and the trachea, having cartilaginous walls and containing vocal cords enveloped in folds of mucous membranes attached to the sides. The trachea is a thin-walled tube of cartilaginous and membraneous tissue communicating between the larynx and the lungs to carry air to and from the lungs. The esophagus is a digestive tract communicating between the pharnyx in the area of the larynx and the stomach to carry food to the stomach.
The esophagus and trachea are positioned side-by-side and terminate in the area of the larynx. Thus, both food and air use the common pharynx between the mouth and the nasal cavities and the larynx area.
To prevent food from entering the larynx, a valve member called the epiglottis is provided on the outlet side of the larynx, just above the vocal cords. The epiglottis is a piece of leaf-like tissue composed of cartilage covered by mucous membrane and functions as a lid to cover the entrance to the larynx or voice organ during the act of swallowing. The mucous membrane of the epiglottis is loose and extends to the root (beginning) of the tongue. In doing so, it forms several folds. One that extends to the mid-line of the tongue is called median glosso epiglottic fold. A fold that goes to the side of the tongue is called the lateral glosso epiglottic fold. Between the median fold just described and the lateral fold, there is a natural depression or groove. This natural depression or groove is called the vallecula epiglottica, vallecula being a generic term for a shallow depression or groove. There is one such vallecula on each side of the median glosso epiglottic fold, i.e., a left and right vallecula.
A laryngoscope is a device that enables one to view into the larynx of a patient. Moreover, the laryngoscope assists in the intubulation or insertion of endoscopes down the trachea or esophagus of a patient by stretching the pharynx or throat sufficiently to permit passage of the endoscope while allowing viewing of the endoscope as it is inserted. Endoscopes are tubular instruments combining a light system and a telescopic system used in the visualization of the interior of a member such as an organ, and are adaptable for diagnostic, therapeutic and surgical procedures.
Laryngoscopes are formed of two main members: a handle member and a blade member. The handle member generally is a cylinder adapted to receive therein, batteries for powering a light source such as a lamp. The handle member includes an attaching or lock portion to which the blade member is operatively attached.
The blade member is generally one of two types: straight or curved. The curved type of a blade member is better suited for persons of normal anatomical configuration while the straight type blade member is better suited for persons with certain abnormally configured larynxes.
Either type of blade member includes a spatula portion and, generally, an upstanding leg portion. Each blade member is elongated and extends from a proximal end attached to the handle member to a distal end which is inserted into the patient's throat.
Laryngoscopy is the visual examination of the exterior and interior of the larynx by means of the laryngoscope. During a laryngoscopy, the blade of the laryngoscope is inserted into the throat or pharynx of the patient and the tip of the distal end of the blade is placed into the vallecula epiglottica, i.e., the depression formed at the base of the tongue and the epiglottis. With slight pressure, the blade causes the epiglottis to lift up, thereby exposing the larynx to the view of the medical professional performing the laryngoscopy.
Several features have been incorporated in the blade members to improve the viewing by the medical professional. On some blade members, the spatula includes a concave portion at the mid-portion to provide a tunnel along the length of the blade member through which the line of sight of the medical professional extends. Furthermore, lamps have been incorporated on some blade members to provide illumination into the interior of the patient's pharynx.
In some instances, the anatomical variations of the human throat are such that even when using a standard curved blade, the vocal cords can lie out of the direct vision line of the medical professional inserting the laryngoscope blade member. Thus, the medical professional will not have a clear view of the vocal cords when inserting the blade of a laryngoscope. This can be critical because the blade can be inserted such that the patient's throat is subject to trauma. Thus, it is highly desirable to provide a medical professional with the ability to view the area adjacent the distal end of a curved laryngoscope blade member so that trauma to the throat of a patient can be avoided.
In accordance with principles of the present invention, a laryngoscope is provided that enables a medical professional performing a laryngoscopy to have a clear view of the area adjacent the distal tip of a curved type laryngoscope blade member while inserting the blade member into the throat of a patient. To this end, fiber optic bundles are incorporated along a blade member, one fiber optic bundle transmitting light from a light source located near the proximal end of the blade member to a point along the distal end of the blade member and another fiber optic bundle being coupled to a lens located at the proximal end of the blade member to provide telescopic viewing of the area adjacent the distal end of the blade member.
By utilizing fiber optic bundles, it is possible to cause the transmission of light to occur around the bend of a curved blade. In this manner, irrespective of the physical location of the vocal cords or other anatomical features under examination, the area in proximity to the tip of the blade member is fully viewable.
Further, by appropriate placement of the fiber optic bundles, there is no interference with the normal view area along the spatula portion of the blade member. Additionally, the light source transmitting fiber optic bundle has a wide dispersion optic at its distal end so as to illuminate not only the area proximate to the distal end of the blade member, but to illuminate the throat of a patient along the normal line of sight of the user performing the laryngoscopy.
In one embodiment, the fiber optic bundles are placed at the sides of the blade member so as not to interfere with the normal tube passage channel formed by the concave tunnel down the center of the spatula portion of the blade member. In another embodiment, the fiber optic bundles are placed outside of the normal side reach of the blade member.
It is an object to provide an improved curved blade laryngoscope. It is another object to provide telescopic viewing of the area adjacent the distal end of a blade member of a curved blade laryngoscope.
It is a further object to provide illumination of the area adjacent the distal end of a blade member of a curved blade laryngoscope.
It is yet a further object to provide illumination of the area adjacent the distal end of a blade member of a curved blade laryngoscope that is dispersed widely.
FIG. 1 is a side elevational view of a laryngoscope embodying principles of the invention illustrating the performance of a laryngoscopy on a patient;
FIG. 2 is a side elevational view, partially broken away, of the laryngoscope of FIG. 1;
FIG. 3 is a partial proximal end view of the laryngoscope of FIG. 1 illustrating the proximal end of the blade member;
FIG. 4 is a cross-sectional view of the laryngoscope of FIG. 1 taken along the line IV--IV of FIG. 2; and
FIG. 5 is a fragmentary distal end view of the laryngoscope of FIG. 1 illustrating the distal ends of the fiber optic bundles.
The present invention provides a laryngoscope which allows for viewing around the bend of a curve blade member thus enabling viewing of the area adjacent the distal end of the blade member. To this end, fiber optic bundles are incorporated along a laryngoscope blade member, one bundle providing light transmission from a light source located near the proximal end near the blade member to the distal end of the blade member and another bundle coupled to a lens located at the proximal end of the blade member to provide telescopic viewing of the area adjacent the distal end of the blade member.
In FIG. 1 there is illustrated a cross-sectional view of a head 10 and a neck portion 12 of a human or patient positioned lying on his or her back. The patient is illustrated as being subjected to a laryngoscopy.
In the cross-sectional view, the patient's pharynx 14 (formed of nasal cavities 16 and mouth 18), tongue 20, epiglottis 22, esophagus 24, trachea 26, and larynx 28 are shown. Additionally shown is the patient's vallecula epiglottica 30, formed at the base of the tongue 20 and the epiglottis 22.
A laryngoscope 40, embodying principles of the invention and more fully illustrated in FIG. 2, is utilized in the laryngoscopy illustrated in FIG. 1. The laryngoscope 40 includes two basic members: a handle member 42 and a curved blade member 44.
As illustrated most fully in FIGS. 2 and 3, the handle member 42 includes an attaching or locking portion 48 to which the blade member 44 is operatively attached. Such handle members are readily available from a variety of manufacturers in the art.
The handle member 42 is cylindrically shaped and is adapted to receive batteries therein that provide a portable power source for the laryngoscope. The batteries are inserted into the handle member 42 by removal of a cover 48 located on one end of the handle member 42.
The blade member 44 includes a spatula portion 50 formed as an elongated member curved about a mid-point 52. The blade member 44 further includes an upstanding leg 54 which runs perpendicularly along one edge of the spatula member 50. The right angle formed by the upstanding leg 54 and the spatula member 50 is more clearly illustrated in FIGS. 3 and 4.
In FIGS. 3 and 4, it is illustrated that the spatula member 50 includes a concave channel 56 running along its length. The channel 56 is provided to allow a medical professional to have a greater line of sight view along the blade member 44 when performing a laryngoscopy and to provide a channel that accommodates a tubular portion of an endoscope, not illustrated.
As illustrated in FIGS. 2-5, the blade member 44 includes a pair of fiber optic bundles 60 and 62 affixed thereon. The fiber optic bundle 60 is adapted to transmit light produced by a lamp 64, operatively coupled to the batteries in the handle member 42, to the distal end of the blade member 44. The fiber optic bundle 62 is adapted to provide a telescopic viewing channel from the distal end to the proximal end of the blade member 44.
A lens member 66 and a lens member 68, located at opposite ends of the fiber optic bundle 62, cooperate to provide telescopic viewing. The lens 66 is located on the distal end of the fiber optic bundle 62 and serves to gather the light at that end and to focus it at the distal end of the bundle 62. A lens member 68 located at the proximal end of the blade member 44 gathers the light transmitted from the distal end of the blade member and expands it to provide an enlarged image at the proximal end of the blade member 44 for the person performing the laryngoscopy. Thus, the person performing the laryngoscopy enjoys a telescopic view of the area adjacent the distal end of the blade member 44.
As illustrated most clearly in FIGS. 4 and 5, the fiber optic bundles are positioned along the concave channel 56 of the spatula member 50. The fiber optic bundles 60 and 62 are small enough and spaced sufficiently far from each other so as not to block viewing along the spatula member 50 along the concave channel 56 or to block the space in the channel 56 through which the tubular member of an endoscope can be inserted.
Furthermore, as illustrated in FIG. 5, the fiber optic bundle 60 includes a lens 70 located on the distal end thereof to provide a wide dispersion of light to illuminate the throat of the patient, as well as the area in proximity to the distal end of the blade member 44.
As illustrated in FIG. 2, in the presently preferred embodiment, the fiber optic bundle 60 does not extend the full length of the blade member 44. The reason for this is that it is preferable to provide light at a point of the blade member 44 at which the light will not be fully covered by throat tissue upon insertion of the blade member 44 into the throat of the patient.
In use during the performance of a laryngoscopy, as illustrated in FIG. 1, the blade member 44 of the laryngoscope 40 is inserted into the mouth 18 of the patient. The blade member 44 supports the tongue 20 and opens the pharynx 14 to provide a line of sight down the throat of the patient for the person performing the laryngoscopy. As illustrated, the tip of the blade member 44 is inserted into the vallecula epiglottis 30, compression thereof causing the epiglottis 22 to raise up to expose the larynx 28 of the patient for viewing by the person performing the laryngoscopy. It can be appreciated that while the blade member 44 is being inserted into the vallecula epiglottica 30, the medical professional performing the laryngoscopy can view the area adjacent the tip of the blade member 44 through the eyepiece 66 and thus, ensure proper placement of the blade member 44 in the mouth 18 of the patient. By being able to view the area proximate to the tip of the blade member 44, the medical professional can ensure that the blade member 44 does not cause trauma or damage to the throat of the patient.
As is further illustrated in FIG. 1, the blade member described, provides two sources of light down the throat of the patient. The lamp member 64 provides light from the proximal end of the laryngoscope and, to a degree, illuminates the mouth and the pharynx of the patient. The light transmitted by fiber optic bundle 60 illuminates the area proximate to the distal end of the blade member 44.

New Tutorial Is Almost Ready
I am finishing the new tutorial, Faux Porcelain Heart Necklace with Hand-Made Necklace Ends.
This tutorial will explain how to make the focal pendant for the necklace, as well as the necklace ends, and how to put it all together into a multi-string necklace with seed beads and fresh-water pearls. The resulting necklace is very delicate and romantic, perfect for any time of the year.
The heart pendant recreates the look of hand-sculpted porcelain in polymer clay. My Grandma used to have a beautiful collection of porcelain vases and trinket boxes. They were very delicate, with tiny hand-sculpted flowers. I remember my fascination with them when I was a little girl...
For this necklace, I decided to make a pair of matching polymer clay necklace ends, because anything metal seemed a bit out of place with this design. Making them is quite easy, actually. In fact, the whole project is rather simple, and does not require any previous experience with polymer clay. List of tools and materials is also short and simple. You do not even need a pasta machine to do it! This tutorial shall be available by the end of February. Please join my mailing list to be notified when the tutorial is ready.

Shelter Cymru Charity Welsh Art Auction at Penarth Pier Pavilion | Bethie Helliwell Portfolio
Post navigation	«	»	Shelter Cymru Charity Welsh Art Auction at Penarth Pier Pavilion	Tonight was the big night.
Alex and I arrived early and had plenty of time
so we enjoyed a coffee outside on the pier.
It was a really lovely and proud moment to walk around with Alex and watch people viewing the work, going from piece to piece and deciding what they would like to bid on.
After everyone had had a good look at the exhibition
the Penarth Pier Pavilion girls and I took down all the ‘lots’ and
began sorting them into the order they were going to be shown at auction.
There was a really buzzing atmosphere and it was lovely to work alongside staff from Shelter Cymru
and staff from Penarth Pier Pavilion. Abi and I printed out copies of my rather modest floor plan and messy list of the additional lots for the girls, so we could do it in order.
I am far too organised.
The auction went amazingly, every lot went out on time and in the right order and more importantly than that every piece sold and we raised nearly £13,000 for the charity Shelter Cymru, together with the auctions in North Wales and London, Shelter Cymru raised has raised over £21,000 this year for their amazing work with housing.
This was my desk for the evening haha.
I feel privileged to of been part of something so creative and successful, in such a beautiful building, with such lovely people.
“Shelter Cymru believes that everyone in Wales has the right to a decent home and that this is essential to the health and well-being of people and communities. We work closely with our sister charities in England and Scotland, but we are independent and focus solely on the needs of people in Wales.”

Peter Von Brown: Losing Myself in Another Read...
LOST. No, not the television show.
Lost by Gregory Maguire of Wicked fame. He works with pre-existing stories here, too. This novel supposedly ties together Charles Dickens’s A Christmas Carol, Lewis Carroll’s “Alice Adventures” and also, yes, Sir J.M. Barrie’s Peter Pan.
So far it’s clever in how they show up. As of right now, they are merely referenced by the character, a writer. Such as Pan having been brought to mind by something and then later, when she’s alone in a storm and freaked out, the window shade goes up and she wonders if Peter is trying to get in…as an amusing thought, not wondering in earnest. It also certainly seems like she is a descendant of the real Scrooge on whom Dickens based his story. It has the potential to be rather fun. Especially now, as it's ghost story in some capacity.
I have noticed, though, that he misspells the name of Barrie’s famous fairy. Frankly, this appalls me. Either Maguire or an editor should have checked on that, don’t you think? I believe Maguire should have, as he is the one referencing the character.
I’m not very far into it. I’ll give a report when I’m done. It will probably be a while. It’s a pretty good-sized book and as I’ve said, I primarily read in transit.

Subjects: A Christmas Carol, Alice in Wonderland, Barrie, book, Dickens, Gregory Maguire, Lewis Carroll, Lost, Peter Pan, Scrooge
Maybe the author changed the spelling on purpose. Maguire has been known to take liberties with his source material, no?
Actually, yes. Although Wicked is amazing, I must confess that his 'pay attention to this fact but not this one' really wore on me. He ingeniously solved some of the "problems" inherent in combining MGM and Baum, such as the silver/ruby slippers...silver but opalescent, almost ruby in the right light [and the musical "fixed" this even more perfectly, I might add] but with other factors he just let it be inconsistent. Personally, I would have taken the time to bridge all the incongruities with some kind of logic. Oh well. But as for Tink, you could be right. But I'm guessing it chalks up tot he fact that MOST people don't write her name correctly.
... and that's why we love you, Pete.
Honestly, she always seemed more of a Belle (think fussy southern plantation gal) than a Bell to me. (I'm assuming that's the misspelling?)
And I can't get on anyone too much for picking and choosing like that... ol' Shakespeare did that with HISTORY! As Homer Simpson said, "Facts are meaningless. You could use facts to prove anything that's even remotely true."
Actually, that's not how he misspelled it.
Do you mean he wrote "Tinkerbell" instead of "Tinker Bell"?
Even as an editor, I would have to say that's awfully picky of you!
I'm the anonymous above.
Tried to leave my name but somehow messed it up.
It's not picky. It's accurate. If you are using/referring to another author's work, by all means, get it right. It's disrespectful to just assume you know how to spell a character's name and then publish it? Perhaps you wouldn't mind being spelled Catheryn? ;)

( Lucas: After my viewpoint in the now with Rick DiClemente on Double Dutch Radio where we also discussed the 13th sign that out of nothing seemed to be existing… here is a newsletter article by Rick from February 2011 you also can find on his blog starself.com that will explain a lot. If you wanted to know more!)
It was the middle of the afternoon on January 4, 2011 in Brussels, Belgium and few if any knew what was happening. Even though the Solar Eclipse in Capricorn had just occurred about 6 hours earlier, it would take more than a star-gazer to realize the ramifications of what just had exploded above them.

A couple of brief reviews - read_warbler
I was going to make this a three book post until I realised that this coming week is half-term and I'll be busy being a grandma. Likely as not, another book will not be read before then and as I wanted to post something this will be a two book post rather than a three. Works for me. :-) The two books under the cut are The Last Continent by Terry Pratchett and Detective Stories from the Strand Magazine edited by Jack Adrian.
I read this book for Bev's Vintage Mystery challenge and it covers the category, 'A Short Story Collection'. It's also my book seventeen for Bev's Mount TBR challenge.

Thanks for these recs, it's always good to know about book even if I don't always get round to reading them!
My current reading? I always try to read some Pros and some non-Pros fiction every day, depending on the time of day, and I’m currently reading Rhianne’s pre-slash story Holding On (well I’m seeing it as pre-slash!). It’s long and plotty which I love and I think she writes very well. My fiction is Michael Connolly’s Nine Dragons. I did begin the Allingham book The Man in the Queue but couldn’t get on with the very precise, English style and found it a bit too much of a contrast to what I've been used to recently! But hopefully I'll return to it at some later stage.

It's impossible to get around to reading every book you see on various book blogs, but always fun to read and see what people are reading. :-)
The fanfic I don't know, must be more recent I'm thinking. Michael Connolly my husband reads and enjoys but I haven't got around to him yet. That first Josephine Tey book does take a while to get into - first book syndrome I think *g*. Once he gets to Scotland it becomes a lot more interesting.
Thanks for your lovely comment, you always have something interesting to say.

Thank *you*! If the Tey book ends up in Scotland it's sounding a little John Buchanish (I loved The 39 Steps) so I may well return to it. I seem to read authors and type of books in clusters and I'm sure I'll return to Pre WW2 crime/mystery books as I loved early Christie, Buchan etc.

You're so right... when the Tey book moved to Scotland it reminded me strongly of the Buchan book I read recently, Huntingtower. In parts anyway. At the moment I seem to be stuck in the 1920s and 30s. LOL!
