1. birth

   Kind is broader than kin, denoting the most general relationship, as of the whole human species in mankind, humankind, etc.; kin and kindred denote direct relationship that can be traced through either blood or marriage, preferably the former; either of these words may signify collectively all persons of the same blood or members of the same family, relatives or relations. Affinity is relationship by marriage, consanguinity is relationship by blood. There are no true antonyms of kin or kindred, except those made by negatives, since strangers, aliens, foreigners, and foes may still be kin or kindred.

   Synonyms:
   affinity, alliance, blood, consanguinity, descent, family, kin, kind, kindred, race, relationship

1. Graeme Smith:

   No one seriously disputes that today a woman in Afghanistan is less likely to die giving birth to a child, that the child is more likely to reach the age of five years old, and having reached the age of five that child is far more likely to have a chance to go to school.

3. Ashley Hayek:

   The radical left continues to ignore Americans' real, everyday concerns, like skyrocketing inflation and rising crime, they’ve ignored the moms who couldn’t get formula for their babies, workers who can’t afford to fill up their gas tanks, or families who are afraid to allow their children to play in the front yard. And not only have they ignored those issues, but their extreme stance on abortion, allowing it up to the moment of birth, is also out of touch with most Americans.
