Kan. Baby Killers Struggle to `Rebuild' After Dr. Tiller's Shooting
Abortion activists are working to rebuild a coalition in Kansas following the death of one of the nation's few late-term abortion providers and the closure of his political action committee. Dr. George Tiller was shot and killed May 31 at his church, and his family has since closed his Wichita clinic. ProKanDo, the political action committee he founded and funded, was closed in mid-June upon the request of the Tiller family, its former director, Julie Burkhart said. But even before his closure of the ProKanDo, the political action committee had been struggling to find someone in Kansas willing to take it over after Burkhart left the job in April. The Kansas chapter of the National Organization for Women is working has since formed its own political action committee to fill the void left by ProKanDo.

Federal Judge to Rule Soon in S.Dakota's Informed Consent Case
A decision is expected soon about what doctors may tell South Dakota women who seek abortions, which could finally bring an end to a hotly debated case that reached a federal appeals court. U.S. District Judge Karen Schreier also could decide to send the case to a trial. At issue is the state's informed consent for abortions law, which requires doctors to tell women that abortion ends a human life. About three dozen people packed the gallery of the federal courthouse in Sioux Falls as the four-year-old case returned to court for oral arguments. Planned Parenthood, which operates the state's only abortion clinic, asked a judge to rule that provisions of the law aimed at providing women with factual information before an abortion are too vague or simply inaccurate.

Colorado Personhood Amendment Goes To Title Board
A proposed constitutional amendment that would protect the rights of embryos is advancing. On Thursday, the personhood amendment proposal got the approval of legislative staffers assigned to review and make recommendations on all ballot measures. Next it must be reviewed by the state title board, which makes sure that all voter initiatives only address a single topic. The proposed amendment says the term "person" would apply to every human being "from the beginning of the biological development of that human being."

Team ObamaCare: Sanger, Ginsburg and Holdren
Now that Barack Hussein Obama has undermined free enterprise by nationalizing major financial and manufacturing sectors of our economy, he has set his sights on the health care sector, which comprises almost 18 percent of the U.S. economy. This shouldn't surprise us. After all, he did promise a "fundamental transformation of the United States of America," and his chief of staff, Rahm Emanuel, did cite the current economic crisis as the means for doing so. "Rule 1: Never allow a crisis to go to waste," Emanuel said. "They are opportunities to do big things."

Taxpayer Supported Abortions: Congressional Bills Wrap Abortion In Healthcare
Abortions could be paid for at taxpayers' expense if two healthcare reform bills get passed by congress. According to OneNewsNow, the two primary measures -- the Kennedy bill and the House Democrat leadership bill -- contain provisions that would represent the greatest expansion of abortion since the Supreme Court legalized it in 1973. "These two bills contain multiple provisions that would result in federally mandated insurance coverage of abortion on demand, result in massive federal subsidies for abortion, result even in mandated creation of many new abortion clinics across the country," said Douglas Johnson of the National Right to Life Committee.

Planned Parenthood Takes `Baby Killing' Message Directly to Congress
Planned Parenthood of the Rocky Mountains (PPRM), along with the national organization Planned Parenthood Federation of America (PPFA), today hosted a Capitol Hill day. PPRM representatives joined more than 300 other Planned Parenthood staff, board members and volunteers from across the country to discuss with members of Congress the importance of making women's health a priority in health care reform. Today's lobby day was a huge success. Planned Parenthood staff, board members and volunteers made nearly 250 visits to members of Congress and delivered two main messages: any health care reform effort must include access to comprehensive reproductive health care, and women's access to essential community providers must be protected. This ensures that basic prevention care, such as contraception, Pap tests, and other cancer screenings are covered and that women are able to access trusted health care providers in the communities where they live.

Face the Truth: Abortion is Baby Murder
I've always been pro-choice -- for the baby. The baby is the one who should get to choose. The fact of the matter is: Abortion is the torture murder of an unborn child. The reason that abortion is legal [sic] in this country is that unborn children don't vote, and they don't make campaign contributions, so they don't have the political clout to get their safety protected. That's the same reason why there in no law requiring seat belts on school buses in Illinois and most other states. Another reason why abortion remains legal is that the murder is committed in secret. Nobody is allowed to see the baby writhing in excrutiating, searing pain and mind-blowing agony during the heinous act. Nobody hears its desperate, silent screams.
