Abortion: An Historical Perspective, Part III

Center for a Just Society | Millie McGehee Dasher | May 4, 2007

We have seen now how the pro-choice movement descends directly from its intellectual predecessor, pro-slavery America. Pro-life Americans ought to be proud to align themselves with Abraham Lincoln, and the pro-choice crowd is now faced with the fact that they cannot support civil rights and abortion, and that their intellectual company ought to make them uncomfortable and willing to reconsider their position.

LifeNews.com | Steven Ertelt | July 30, 2007

Detroit, MI (LifeNews.com) — After the Supreme Court upheld the national ban on partial-birth abortions, some abortion businesses are so desperate to continue doing legal second-trimester abortions that they are willing to put women’s health at risk by misusing a drug for heart conditions to do the abortions.

Boston woman sues for child-rearing costs after failed abortion

Boston Globe March 7, 2007

BOSTON –A Boston woman who gave birth after a failed abortion has filed a lawsuit against two doctors and Planned Parenthood seeking the costs of raising her child.

The complaint was filed by Jennifer Raper, 45, last week in Suffolk Superior Court and still must be screened by a special panel before it can proceed to trial.

Raper claimed in the three-page medical malpractice suit that she found out she was pregnant in March 2004 and decided to have an abortion for financial reasons.

Dr. Allison Bryant, a physician working for Planned Parenthood at the time, performed the procedure on April 9, 2004, but it “was not done properly, causing the plaintiff to remain pregnant,” according to the complaint.

Do Pro-Life Laws Make a Difference?

Townhall.com Rebecca Hagelin February 9, 2007

For 34 years, it’s been legal in America for mothers to kill their pre-born babies. It’s difficult to imagine that the culture my teenagers and so many young adults have grown up in has been this culture of death — they simply have no other frame of reference. Yet, even at the tender age of 14,knowing no other America but one in which abortion is legal, my daughter doesn’t understand why our nation allows such a heinous act to be inflicted on the innocent and voiceless.Common sense tells her it’s wrong. How can it be, she wonders? I have no answers.

An Uncomfortable Truth: The Pain of the Unborn

Breakpoint.org Mark Earley January 24, 2007

Undoubtedly many of the great evils of our times have been committed because the cries of the victims were not heard—not heard by those who sat by, comfortably ignorant of the horrors around them. In early nineteenth-century England, few citizens had any real understanding that the lump of sugar they dropped in their afternoon tea was made at the high price of human bondage. The screams of men and women branded or whipped on West Indies sugar plantations were not heard in the fashionable parlors of England. Not until, that is, the great Christian statesman William Wilberforce launched his crusade against the slave trade.

Today, some two hundred years later, there are victims whose agony our ears will never hear. These are the unborn victims of abortion.

Stem Cell Miracle? An Advance This Side Of Bush’s Moral Line

Jewish World Review Charles Krauthammer January 12, 2007

When President Bush announced in August 2001 his restrictive funding decision for federal embryonic stem cell research, he was widely attacked for an unwarranted intrusion of religion into scientific research. His solicitousness for a 200-cell organism — the early embryo that Bush declared should not be destroyed to produce a harvest of stem cells — was roundly denounced as reactionary and anti-scientific. And cruel to boot. It was preventing a cure for thousands of people with hopeless and terrible diseases, from diabetes to spinal cord injury. As John Edwards put it most starkly and egregiously in 2004: If John Kerry becomes president, Christopher Reeve will walk again.
