Video Shows Some Babies Do Survive Abortion
Students for Life of America has released video footage of a nurse at a New Jersey Planned Parenthood facility who admits babies sometimes survive an abortion and are left to die.
Kristan Hawkins, executive director of Students for Live, said she was stunned to learn this is not a rare occurrence.
"It begs the question of why a presidential candidate will not support basic human-rights protections for babies born alive during an abortion procedure," she said. "This is outright infanticide, and a candidate for president defends it."
As an Illinois senator, Sen. Barack Obama repeatedly blocked legislation that would have required hospitals to care for infants who survive an abortion.

Co. Governor Sued for Shoveling Tax Money to Planned Parenthood
A Colorado taxpayer is suing Gov. Bill Ritter for authorizing illegal state payments totaling $18 million for two abortion-providing companies, including a Planned Parenthood affiliate. "We hope this lawsuit brings this case to justice," said Jim Sedlak, vice president of American Life League, "Coloradoans don't want blood on their hands. They don't want their hard-earned tax dollars feeding the trough of an organization gorging on abortion blood money."

Study Is First To Link TV Sex To Teens Having Illegitimate Children
Could the amount of sex teens see on TV predict whether they'll become a teen mother or father? A study in today's Pediatrics says it's a distinct possibility. The study is the first to draw a direct link between sexual content on TV and the likelihood that teens who watch it will become parents. What they found: By age 16, teens who watched a lot of sexually charged TV were more than twice as likely to be pregnant or father an out-of-wedlock baby as teens who watched very little: 12% vs. 5%. The gap holds steady through age 20. Researchers controlled for parents' race, income and education and teens' total TV time.

How Eugenic Philosophy Has Taken Hold
[I]n 1974, the National Security Council under Henry Kissinger on December 10 issued NSSM 200 titled “Implications of Worldwide Population Growth for U.S. Security and Overseas Interests” related to population growth in Third World countries. The document declared: “It is urgent that measures to reduce fertility be started and made effective in the 1970s and 1980s…. Food and agricultural assistance is vital for any population sensitive development strategy.” NSSM 200 also referred to the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), which included the Office of Population headed by Reimert Ravenholt from 1965 to 1979. According to Paul Wagman’s “To Sterilize Millions” (St. Louis Post-Dispatch, April 22, 1977), Ravenholt said that “as many as 100 million women around the world might be sterilized if U.S. goals are met.”

Human Papilloma Virus Vaccine Fraud
For several years the pharmaceutical firm has made aggressive efforts to market the Gardasil human papilloma virus vaccine as a prevention for cervical cancer. The governor of the state of Texas made the administration of this vaccine to young girls mandatory. What is the truth about this vaccine? Natural News reporter Mike Adams has uncovered some interesting facts about this vaccine. The FDA has been aware since 2003 that Human Papillloma Virus [1] does not cause cervical cancer. The Gardasil vaccine is unable to eradicate HPV virus from women who have been exposed to HPV(nearly all sexually active women). This makes vaccinating all young women in Texas against HPV virus a very questionable decision.

'We Support Killing Babies' - 'United Church' Parts Ways With Conservatives
In A departure from the Church's conservative position, at least one religious organization has endorsed the broad provisions in the Termination of Pregnancy Act, otherwise called the abortion law. The United Church of Jamaica and The Cayman Islands says it supports the recommendations of the Abortion Policy Review Group, which has proposed the decriminalization of abortion in Jamaica. Reverend Dr Marjorie Lewis, who represented the church body, told members of a joint select committee yesterday in Gordon House that her organization supports abortion conditionally.
