Texas-Produced Film Links Eugenics, Abortion, and Targeting of Blacks
The window dressing may be benign, but behind the curtain remains the dark elitism of the eugenics movement, which continues to flourish in the 21st century with a disproportionate focus on black Americans. That's the message of a relatively new video documentary, “Maafa21: Black Genocide in 21st Century America, (click here for video)” from Denton-based Life Dynamics Inc. The group’s president, Mark Crutcher, wrote and produced it and is featured numerous times in the film. Maafa (pronounced Mah-off-ah) is a Swahili word for tragedy, in this case the continued repercussions of Western slavery that Crutcher argues led to the eugenics movement and specifically to the government’s role in funding family planning, birth control and abortion aimed at minority groups and especially blacks. The end result: a disproportionate percentage of “family planning” clinics in black neighborhoods and an African-American abortion rate that has skyrocketed in the last 40 years.

Kansas Gov Vetoes Abortionists Regulation
A bill requiring doctors to give the specific diagnosis justifying a late-term abortion was vetoed by the governor Thursday. Gov. Mark Parkinson called abortion a "tragedy" but said it "is a private decision and should not be dictated by public officials." He said he thought the state's current late-term abortion law struck a reasonable balance and that an annual legislative battle on the issue was not in the public's best interest. The vetoed bill was similar to bills vetoed more than once by Gov. Kathleen Sebelius.

S.C. Senate Restores Some Abortion Coverage
"Allowing abortions for rape or incest would put blood on every taxpayer's hands"
Budget writers in the South Carolina Senate have nixed House plans to end state health insurance plan coverage for abortions stemming from rape or incest. The 12 to 6 vote on Thursday came as the Senate Finance Committee resumed work on what's become a $4.9 billion state spending plan. The House in a marathon session last month ended state health insurance plan for abortions unless they are needed to protect a mother's health. Republican Sen. Kevin Bryant, of Anderson, voted against the change and said allowing abortions for rape or incest would put blood on every taxpayer's hands.

Missouri Senate Backs 24-Hour Abortion Consent Regulation
Missouri senators have endorsed legislation increasing the information that women must receive from medical professionals at least 24 hours before the killing starts. The bill given first-round approval Thursday by the Senate would require that a woman be told about the physical characteristics of fetuses and be given the chance to view an ultrasound and listen to the heartbeat. Missouri already has a 24-hour informed consent law requiring women to be told of the physical and psychological risks of having abortions.

Child Sacrifice In India Targets Girls: Female infanticide tells on sex ratio in Punjab
"She was thrown in the garbage dump outside the village for dogs that ate her. Her only fault — she was the fourth girl born in a poor family," said Harshinder Kaur, paediatric doctor here, recalling the first time she witnessed discrimination against female infants in Punjab's rural side. "Over a decade ago, I couldn't save that infant and ever since I try to speak for the girls who never lived," said Dr. Kaur, who has been awarded by numerous governments across the globe for her work in eradicating the evil. Rampant female foeticide continues to push the sex ratio of Punjab against females; unfortunately, the evil is more prevalent among the educated, the rich and the urban bred.

Want an abortion? Get prescreened
Nebraska Governor Dave Heineman has signed a bill requiring doctors to prescreen women for potential medical and psychological problems before performing an abortion.
State senators voted 37-7 to pass LB 594, the primary purpose of which is to require abortionists to screen women for risk factors that are well-documented and established as predicting post-abortion complications. It mandates that women be notified about the risks that accompany abortion 24 hours prior to the procedure, and that they know it is unlawful that others coerce them into going through with the pregnancy termination. And as a follow-up, at least one hour prior to the procedure, a mental health professional is required to assess and determine if the patient was pressured into having an abortion.
