Woman Sues Planned Parenthood and Abortionist After Failed Abortion

A Boston woman is suing a Planned Parenthood abortionist and Planned Parenthood for failing to abort her child in 2004.  She is suing for wrongful birth and for the costs of child rearing. 

Let's see, she wanted to kill her child when the child was an unborn child, but now that she has delivered her child and is raising her.  The child is valuable enough to her that she wants or wanted to keep her, but she wants someone else to pay to raise her.  I'm guessing that she will not see the horror from the child's point of view when she grows up and learns her mom tried to kill her. 

It's not going to go well.  I've spoken to Gianna Jessen a couple times on our show and in person at events.  Gianna's mother tried to abort her at a Planned Parenthood in S. CA.  Gianna was about 7 months along.  They tried killing her by saline abortion.  After thrashing around in the womb, she was miraculously born and was adopted.  The miracle is that when she was born alive instead of dead the staff at Planned Parenthood didn't do her in.  Someone actually called the hospital.  Had the abortionist been there, he'd have finished her off.

Back to the story, Gianna is a wonderful lady and has a huge heart.  But even she doesn't want anything to do with her birth mom who tried to abort her.  I think this woman is going to rue the day she ever did this.  But it's the self centered, nihilistic spirit of our age and she's probably not going to think anything of it.  She'll probably think that she's gracious to have let the little one into the world and that the baby should be grateful.  Kids aren't toys, possessions or extensions of our selves. 

One of my friends says that it will be interesting to see the results of the suit.  "They will settle or end up having to defend life."

Another Stem Cell Leap. Will Media, Politicians and Science Notice?

Here's great news about adult stem cell research from the University of Minnesota. 

"University of Minnesota stem cell researchers, together with collaborators at Stanford University, have successfully used adult stem cells to replace the immune system and bone marrow of mice, offering the promise of new therapies for people in the future. With this advance and other recent discoveries, the researchers are winning over previous skeptics."

This has been going on since 2001 and we included it in our 2005-2006 briefings to a couple Nevada representatives.  Though breakthroughs like this make embryonic stem cell research more and more irrelevant and unnecessary, don't expect that to make a difference.

What's Wrong With The Stem Cell Bill

Yesterday the House of Representatives voted again to overturn President Bush’s embryonic stem cell policy. HR 3, The Stem Cell Research Enhancement Act of 2007 passed 253-174.  The policy allows funding on research using stem cells from embryos killed before August 9, 2001, but it prohibits federal funding on anymore destroying of embryos research to keep us from creating life only to destroy it. 

Why does it matter that these little human beings are killed?  It matters because human life has inherent value and human beings at any stage of life have ultimate value by virtue of being human.  Once any person’s life becomes expendable, the value of every human life becomes negotiable.  It reduces human life to a mere natural resource. Human beings are not resources to be mined, crops to be harvested or commodities to be bought and sold.

The bill would set a dangerous precedent.  It says that we can use human life for experimentation and therapeutic purposes. It says there can be and will be classes of people who are expendable for others.  It also opens the door to more unethical human research.

The announcement this week of the new discovery with amniotic stem cells-which come with the gift of a baby-shows some of the wisdom of President Bush’s embryonic stem cell limitations.  The president’s policy of protecting human life has advanced, not hindered, science.  By limiting unethical embryonic stem cell research, scientists have been led to discover other stem cell sources-which appear to be superior, easier to use and are ethical.

If President Bush had caved to political pressure and “political” science to fund unethical research, it is likely that scientists may not have found these other sources of stem cells, benefits and therapies.

This vote crosses leads America into an irreversible venture into human experimentation.  President Bush has promised to veto this bill again and keep us from crossing the line into human experimentation.  He needs to veto it again.

Hyping And Lying About Embryonic Stem Cells

From Wesley J. Smith's Blog.  Arlen Spector preys on the hopes and fears of American sufferers while practicing political science.  Something's wrong with your case when you make these kinds of comments. Here's the text from Smith's blog. 

"Senator Arlen Specter has managed to top Edwards in sheer hyperbole and advocacy spin. At a press conference today, he said: "It is scandalous that eight years have passed since we have known about stem cell research and the potential to conquer all known maladies, and federal funds have not been available for the research."

"All known maladies? Every single one? The common cold? Herpes? Tooth decay?

"And as for "no federal funds" being available to fund ESCR: In 2005 the Feds put out about $50 million for human ESCR, using the Bush approved lines. But I guess to a senator, that is the same as no money at all.

"Two whoppers in one sentence: Perhaps a new record."

Another Study Says Morning After Pill Does Not Reduce Abortions

Another study, by Morning After Pill supporters, concludes that the MAP does not reduce abortions.  Elizabeth G. Raymond, MD, MPH, James Trussell, PhD and Chelsea B. Polis, write in Obstetrics & Gynecology 2007;109:181-188
by The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists

CONCLUSION: Increased access to emergency contraceptive pills enhances use but has not been shown to reduce unintended pregnancy rates. Further research is needed to explain this finding and to define the best ways to use emergency contraception to produce a public health benefit.

Don't expect this to stop abortion advocates from saying that if pro-lifers were really pro-life, they'd be joining them in passing out the morning after pill to stop abortion. 

Take The Stem Cell Quiz

This is an interesting video sent to me by James P. Kelly, one of our recent guests on Voice For Life.  James is a science writer for the Seoul Korea Times.  He is also a patient advocate and congressional witness on stem cell research.  One qualifier, I don't think it is quite accurate to say that human embryonic stem cells caused brain tumors in all of the Parkinson's subjects.  The test mentions that the mice that received human embryonic stem cells "formed brain tumors in all the subjects instead." (claim is at 4:52).  I think it is more accurate to say that the level of tumor formation has been unacceptably high in animal studies, but not such that every subject developes tumors.  In a recent post and comment Wesley J. Smith said, "... a recent study had every mouse developing what M. J. Fox called 'residual tissue,' e.g. percursers to tumors." Test your knowledge while finding out current information on stem cell research and how to get involved in human trials ASAP

Planned Parenthood Closing Clinics

Planned Parenthood is the largest abortion provider in the United States.  They perform more than 20 percent of American abortions.  But they are slowing closing some of their clinics.  Citizen Link reports that "Back in 1995, Planned Parenthood had 938 clinics in operation. Even though they opened hundreds since then, now there are only 817, marking a tremendous decline in services."  Jim Sedlak with the American Life League’s STOPP Campaign says Planned Parenthood has "been closing down more than a clinic a month since 1995 and they are now at the lowest level they’ve been since 1987.” 

Abortion advocates scream that there are no abortion clinics in over 80 percent of the counties in the United States.  This is a bit of info that misleads people to think that abortion is very restricted in the United States and that the right to abortion is near to being snuffed out.  If only it were true. 

The truth is that like any product or service, there has to be a demand for it.  For anyone who has been to the other 14 counties besides Washoe (Reno/Sparks) and Clark (Las Vegas) and Carson City, it is clear why there are no abortion services there.  There's little demand.  The fact that Planned Parenthood is closing clinics-some of course by consolidation, shows that the demand for abortion is decreasing.
