Brazilian Government May Force 13 Year old Girl to Have an Abortion
Girl does not want to have an abortion
Although a 13 year old Brazilian girl has told government authorities that she does not want to have an abortion, she may be forced to have one anyway, according to the prosecutor in her case.
The girl, who is five months pregnant, was allegedly raped by her father, who has been arrested. Her mother is deceased. The media has not publicized her name.
When interviewed by a prosecutor in the state of Bahia on Monday of this week, the child reportedly stated that she does not wish to have an abortion. The case worker from the local child protective services assigned to the child is also opposed to an abortion, stating that "the greatest right of the child is the right to life."

Planned Parenthood Child Rape Cover-Ups Continue, Two More Clinics Busted
Two more Planned Parenthood clinics in Phoenix, AZ were caught on tape concealing statutory rape. In a developing multi-state child abuse scandal, these are the fourth and fifth Planned Parenthood clinics implicated. Employees deliberately neglect their legal obligations to report statutory rape, and instead offer secret abortions. Lila Rose and Jackie Stollar, both college students posing as 15-year-old girls, entered two Phoenix Planned Parenthood clinics undercover and told employees at one clinic that Stollar needed an abortion because her adult "boyfriend" had impregnated her, giving his age as 27-years-old at the second clinic. Arizona state law requires law enforcement to be contacted immediately if an adult-child relationship is revealed. Failure to report incidents of sexual abuse are punishable under this law.

Analysis: Stem Cell Payoff Wait's Decades Not Days
Make no mistake: Federal law forbids taxpayer money from being used to create or destroy embryos, and only Congress could change that, considered unlikely. The National Institutes of Health now is developing guidelines on what kinds of stem cell studies will be allowed. The rules are due in July. ... It's a young science to be so contentious. University of Wisconsin scientists culled the first human embryonic stem cells _ from an embryo. But that initial culling of the cells does kill the days-old embryo. So critics say using the resulting stem cells _ which can propagate in lab dishes indefinitely _ makes taxpayers who are morally opposed to embryo research complicit in it.
