admin http://www.prolifeblogs.com prolifeblogs@gmail.com WASHINGTON, Feb. 6, 2012/Christian Newswire -- Citing a violation of First Amendment Rights, the Georgia State Supreme Court today struck the state's 1994 law which classified as a felony anyone who "publicly advertises, offers or holds himself out as offering that he or she will intentionally and actively assist another person in the commission of suicide and commits any overt act to further that purpose." The decision leaves Georgia with no protections against assisting suicide. "Today's ruling by the Georgia Supreme Court puts the lives of older people and those with disabilities in grave danger because it opens the door for the fringe advocates of doctor-prescribed death to openly advertise the practice in the state of Georgia," said Burke Balch, J.D., director of National Right to Life's Powell Center for Medical Ethics.

admin http://www.prolifeblogs.com prolifeblogs@gmail.com February 6, 2012/Birmingham, AL/Operation Rescue -- Just two weeks after botched abortions at Birmingham's New Woman All Women sent two patients to the hospital with life-threatening injuries, a Georgia abortionist with financial ties to the clinic has quit doing abortions there. Abortionist Ivan Diamond has stopped doing abortions in Birmingham under pressure from pro-life activists, according to Fr. Terry Gensemer, director of CEC for Life, who met with a representative of Diamond's employer in Atlanta, Georgia, last week where the news was confirmed. On January 21, 2012, ambulances and fire department vehicles were summoned to the New Woman abortion clinic where paramedics were forced to negotiate gurneys down a trash-strewn alley only to discover that the rear entrance of the clinic could not accommodate them. One woman, bloodied and partially clad, was hand-lifted from a narrow doorway and down several steps with a broken safety rail to an awaiting gurney. 2012-02-03T21:07:15Z 2012-02-03T20:53:20Z tag:www.prolifeblogs.com,2012:/articles/2.6427 2012-02-03T20:53:20Z

Komen for the Cure today announced Planned Parenthood Federation of America and its affiliates will remain eligible for grant funding. Planned Parenthood is the nation's largest abortion provider, performing approximately 27% of all abortions annually in the United States.   The following statement may be attributed to National Right to Life President Carol Tobias:   Shortly after news broke earlier this week that Komen was withdrawing future grant funding to Planned Parenthood and its affiliates, the abortion giant and its allies began a shrill online campaign to bring Komen to its knees by bullying the organization into submission.    Any decision to provide future grants approved for Planned Parenthood, which boasts a $1.1 billion budget, would be extremely and sadly misguided. Any grants to Planned Parenthood would be detrimental to women and their unborn children.

The pro-life group Created Equal launched an awareness campaign using the billboard-sized banners mounted on a large box truck to encourage the Senate to move forward on the Heartbeat Bill, which passed handily in the House. The Truth Truck features authenticated images of aborted baby remains along with text encouraging the Senate to take up House Bill 125, which would protect pre-born babies from abortion after a heartbeat has been detected. It would stop the majority of the approximately 28,000 abortions now taking place each year in Ohio.

Komen for the Cure, for discontinuing its grants to Planned Parenthood (PP) while the abortion provider is under investigation by Congress. Komen said it will not resume payment of the grants unless PP is exonerated. Komen attributed its decision to a new policy that prohibits grants from going to organizations under investigation by governmental authorities. "Our group will remain as Komen's critic as long as it continues to work against its own mission to eradicate breast cancer. Komen's decision is a step in the right direction to protect women's lives. However, I will not donate to Komen while it is still cooperating in the cover-up of the abortion-breast cancer link and downplaying the risk of using oral contraceptives (OCs)." asserted Karen Malec, president of the Coalition on Abortion/Breast Cancer.

admin http://www.prolifeblogs.com prolifeblogs@gmail.com January 31, 2012/Fargo, North Dakota/Operation Rescue -- The Red River Women's Clinic, which is the only abortion clinic in North Dakota, is challenging a new law that is aimed at protecting women from the misuse of the dangerous abortion-inducing drug mifeprex, also known as RU486. East Central District Judge Wickham Corwin issued a temporary restraining order against the law on August 1, then heard arguments about its Constitutionality on Friday, January 27, 2012. Judge Corwin delayed making a decision until he could review more information about the safety of the drug. Additional briefs are due in two weeks. The new law would virtually ban medication abortions in North Dakota and would place the requirement that a licensed physician be present when the drugs are administered. This would prevent what is known as telemed or "webcam" abortions from taking place where unlicensed and inadequately trained workers dispense the dangerous drugs after 2012-01-30T17:59:59Z 2012-01-30T04:49:12Z tag:www.prolifeblogs.com,2012:/articles/2.6416 2012-01-30T04:49:12Z

anonymous http://www.prolifeblogs.com prolifeblogs@gmail.com When we last left off with our look behind the doors of death at "A Woman's World Medical Center" in Part One of this series, the investigator from the Agency for Health Care Administration was hot on the trail of the mysterious man named "Lab Tech" who despite not actually being employed by the clinic, was in charge of sterilizing instruments, collecting and examining the aborted baby remains, and carrying patients to the recovery room after their abortion was complete (translation: after their child was killed). Although "Lab Tech" is never actually named in the report, it is the well-educated guess of this writer that he is none other than the owner's husband - Mr. Arnold Guerrero. Arnold has been observed at this death mill engaged in various tasks from cutting the lawn, taking out the trash, yelling at the pro-lifers and swiping literature out of their hands, and perhaps 2012-01-27T21:49:27Z 2012-01-27T21:17:25Z tag:www.prolifeblogs.com,2012:/articles/2.6415 2012-01-27T21:17:25Z

admin http://www.prolifeblogs.com prolifeblogs@gmail.com Operation Rescue/Albuquerque, New Mexico/Cheryl Sullenger -- A shocking number of medical emergencies at two Albuquerque abortion clinics over the past few months have raised questions about clinic safety and who is responsible for oversight. After months of investigation, pro-life groups have determined that abortion clinics often operate in regulatory gaps and actively seek to "fly under the radar," as one regulator put it. This has created a public safety crisis in New Mexico. A total of 14 calls for emergency medical assistance were placed to 911 dispatchers by Southwestern Women's Options (SWO) and the University of New Mexico Center for Reproductive Health (UNMCRH) over a 35-month time frame between November, 2008, and September, 2011. Three were placed from the UNMCRH while, alarmingly, eleven of the calls for help originated from SWO. Complaints were filed with the New Mexico Medical Board (NMMB) against the known abortionists who work at those clinics 2012-01-26T20:48:50Z 2012-01-26T20:32:47Z tag:www.prolifeblogs.com,2012:/articles/2.6412 2012-01-26T20:32:47Z

AbortionWiki seeks to expose the abortion industry on an international scale. It will achieve this by making use of the powerful yet simple wiki software - the same software which powers Wikipedia.org.

The letter concludes: "We look forward to hearing from your office regarding this matter on or before January 26, 2012. We are hopeful that you will concur with us that Chapter 10-9 ought to be repealed and proposed Chapter 10-10 withdrawn as unconstitutional and, therefore, unenforceable against any covered entity located in Austin, including our client.

PETERSBURG, Fla., Jan. 24, 2012/Christian Newswire -- It is not insignificant that a question about the state sanctioned, court ordered death of Terri Schiavo by dehydration made it into the top tier questions at the Republican debate last night. Although Terri Schiavo's death occurred in 2005, what happened to her takes place every single day in health care facilities across our nation. Indeed, the courts and pro-euthanasia movement exploited her situation to introduce our country to "Obamacare." Every candidate missed the opportunity to make this connection last night. We are grateful and recognize the two candidates who attempted to defend Terri's right to life, although clarification of her condition is warranted as this debate continues. Terri Schiavo was not dying, not in a coma, and not brain dead. Terri was not on a respirator, and she was not in vegetative state. Terri was a woman with a brain injury 2012-01-24T18:00:09Z 2012-01-24T17:00:50Z tag:www.prolifeblogs.com,2012:/articles/2.6408 2012-01-24T17:00:50Z

admin http://www.prolifeblogs.com prolifeblogs@gmail.com by Tony Perkins Thanks to President Obama, the tens and thousands of pro-lifers who streamed into D.C. for today's March have another cause to fight: the future of religious liberty. Late Friday, the Obama administration marked the anniversary of Roe v. Wade by cementing one of the biggest attacks on conscience rights the country has ever seen. Starting next year, any organization that offers health insurance to employees will be forced to cover birth control, sterilizations, and abortifacients--no matter what their objections. Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius finalized the rule after her agency fielded more than 200,000 public comments--many objecting to the administration's policies that flow from an anti-child ideology. FRC has been fighting alongside dozens of evangelical and Catholic groups, who see this decision for what it is: naked aggression against America 's most fundamental freedom.

anonymous http://www.prolifeblogs.com prolifeblogs@gmail.com It's 2012. She's been in business since 1991. And she still can't get it right. Candace Dye, owner and administrator of A Woman's World Medical Center - the Treasure Coast's only operating abortion clinic, was recently visited by an inspector from Florida's Agency for Health Care Administration. The visit marked the fourth year in a row that deficiencies were noted in the clinic's operation, and yet, the clinic remains in business. Although some of the deficiencies noted appear insignificant (ie; not posting a current license in a conspicuous place where it can be viewed by patients), each one represents a failure of the administrator to follow the basic requirements of licensure procedures in Florida. And the failure to follow the procedures established by the State should result in a significant and appropriate consequence. Isn't that what civilized society demands from its laws? Apparently, not when it comes to abortion. Give
