News from the pro-life front

Some recent news items include:

* Lies & deception: Another undercover video shows Planned Parenthood employees giving false & misleading information to a "client." One PP employee denies that a fetus is a baby, stating that a fetus becomes a baby "at birth". The employee likewise gives false information about when an unborn baby has a heartbeat. The doctor at the clinic also denies that an unborn child is a baby until a certain point. He further claims that having an abortion is "much safer" than having a baby because "you know, women die having babies." He acknowledges that women die from abortions, but claims that none of his patients have died from his abortions. (Even if none have died at his clinic, why would anyone trust a person who makes a living by brutally killing innocent unborn children in the womb? Remember that some deaths associated with abortion may not occur until much later - e.g. cancer resulting from abortion.) Note: See the above referenced video here

* Dissident nun at it again: The nun who was "reprimanded" for serving as an abortion clinic escort for years is reportedly "applauding" the defeat of an amendment that would have limited taxpayer funding for abortion in proposed healthcare legislation. She apparently sent a "thank you letter" to those who voted against the amendment which included a troubling reference to the Blessed Virgin Mary. (Can we also send a thank you note - this one to the bishop for finally excommunicating her?)

* California Senator Dianne Feinstein responded to a reporter's question that she does think it is "morally correct" to use tax dollars from pro-life Americans to pay for insurance plans that cover abortion. She said, "We pay for a lot of things that we may or may not agree with, and taxpayers pay for it." (Think she'd feel differently if it was her tax dollars being used to pay for the murder of an innocent person she actually cared about?)
