| Illinois Judge Lets Suit against Planned Parenthood Stand In a victory for life advocates, an Illinois judge has decided to let part of a lawsuit against Planned Parenthood of Illinois go forward. The case began when an abortion mega-clinic moved into the Chicago suburb of Aurora last year under a different name. When life advocates took a peaceful stand, Planned Parenthood ran an attack ad in the Daily Herald accusing pro-lifers of having "a history of advocating illegal and sometimes violent behavior." The Pro-Life Action League sued the abortion giant over the ad. On Wednesday, Judge Judith Brawka of Kane County Circuit Court upheld slander and libel portions of the suit. "I'm really happy that this common lie of pro-lifers being violent is being exposed," pro-life blogger Jill Stanek told CitizenLink. The $7.5 million, 22,000-square-foot abortion clinic has 12 surgical recovery rooms.
