Law enforcement officers are confident a Wisonsin man who jumped a $750,000 bond more than two years ago for spiking his girlfriend's drink with an abortion-inducing drug will be brought to justice. Although Outagamie County's search for Manish Patel is not active, police say it's only a matter of time before he is captured.

Father: Bus Driver Berated Girl Over Pro-Life Beliefs
Family Suing Carmel Clay Schools, Bus Driver
Carmel Clay Schools Seal
An Indiana family has filed suit against Carmel Clay Schools after they said a bus driver was caught on tape berating their daughter about her religious beliefs. Edward Zimmer said bus driver Betty Campbell harassed and caused emotional distress to his middle school daughter, Rachael, in November of 2008, 6News' Renee Jameson reported. He said the incident began during a ride home from school when his daughter told another student that she would never vote for President Barack Obama because of her anti-abortion and anti-homosexual beliefs. Zimmer said that led to an allegation that Rachael told other students that they would go to hell if they believed differently, something he said his daughter vehemently denies.

Challenge may await Oklahoma abortion measure
Mary Spaulding Balch of the National Right to Life Committee explains the purpose of the bill. "The more information the state has about a particular procedure and why a woman is seeking an abortion, the more the state is able to address some of the concerns that might arise," she says.
Balch expects Planned Parenthood to file a lawsuit to block the bill. "They don't want to report, they don't want us to know what's going on inside the abortion facility, they don't want us to monitor this procedure," she states. "It is the most underreported, unregulated procedure -- and yet it is one that is the most often performed in the United States."
