I keep an eye on the Planned Parenthood Express in Orland Park, IL, near where I live. I get creeped out every time I drive by. It’s a very unwelcoming place; the blinds are always drawn. Come to think of it, I’ve never seen a Planned Parenthood that wasn’t trying to keep the light out. And I’ve also noticed that the storefront next door to this one has remained vacant for quite some time. A Subway restaurant used to rent that space, but it moved out over three years ago to a spot half a block down the street. I...

Michigan Attorney General Bill Schuette says his lawsuit has led to the permanent closure of abortion clinics in Saginaw and suburban Lansing. Schuette's office filed a complaint in Eaton County Circuit Court on Nov. 7 seeking to dissolve Health Care Clinic Inc. in Eaton County's Delta Township and Women's Choice Clinic Inc. in Saginaw. His office says an investigation included evidence of improper medical records disposal at the two clinics. The investigation began in February, 2010, when Lansing anti-abortion activists searched the dumpster outside the Woman's Choice Clinic and found the remains of 17 fetuses tossed inside. Each fetus was...

There are no plans to immediately reopen Women's Health Care Services in the wake of George Tiller's murder on Sunday, his family announced through their attorneys today.

WICHITA, KS, November 13, 2008 (LifeSiteNews.com) – Two pro-life volunteers participating in a round the clock prayer vigil were sickened last week, after being exposed to fumes from an oily substance that had been spilled across the driveway at George Tiller’s late-term abortion clinic.

DENVER, September 21, 2007 (LifeSiteNews.com) - A Federal Appeals Court has dismissed a case brought by abortionists and other abortion supporters against Kansas for attempting to enforce their mandatory child sex abuse reporting law. Legislators had changed one word in the statute, rendering the case moot.

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (AP) — Republican senators delivered an anti-abortion bill to the governor’s desk Friday that critics claim could force some clinics to quit offering abortions. Besides imposing new government oversight of abortion clinics, the bill also bars people affiliated with abortion providers from teaching sex education courses, allows schools to offer abstinence-only programs and puts into law an existing alternatives-to-abortion grant program. The Republican-led Senate employed a procedural move, with just a few hours remaining in the legislative session, to shut off debate after less than an hour and force a vote on the bill. The Senate then...

A San Bruno man was arraigned Monday on charges of attempted murder after he allegedly drove to a Planned Parenthood clinic in San Mateo with a loaded handgun with the intention of killing the doctor who performed an abortion on his girlfriend, prosecutors said. Joel Robison, 27, decided not to go into the clinic after he saw a security guard out front, and later checked into Kaiser Permanente's South San Francisco medical center suffering from severe depression, Chief Deputy District Attorney Steve Wagstaffe said. At the hospital, Robison told his doctor about the visit to the clinic on Palm Avenue,...

SPRINGFIELD, MO. When Springfield Healthcare Center mysteriously closed its doors, Rosina San Paolo praised the Lord. "I danced. I thanked the Blessed Mother. I thanked Jesus," said San Paola, 82, who has spent the past 22 years protesting outside southwest Missouri's only abortion clinic. But another woman left a starkly different message on the clinic's answering machine after hearing the news that, as of Oct. 19, the facility had been shuttered. "As a former patient, I just wanted to express my gratitude to everyone who works there," said the woman, who did not leave her name. "You are all godsends...

When I previously posted some quotes from clinic workers and abortionists the site I gave had a virus. The NEW new site is at http://www.freewebs.com/clinicquotes and it should be okay. The site itself is a collection of statements and stories from former and current abortion providers. The site reveals details of the abortion business that are often left in the dark. Here are a few: ----------------------------------------------------- From the article "Abortion Providers Share Inner Conflicts" which appeared in the July 12 1993 issue of AAA News, a publication of the American Medical Association: "I have angry feelings at myself for feeling...

by Michael Whitcraft When I heard that my bishop, Most Reverend Kevin Rhoades, of Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, was planning a procession and rosary in front a local abortion clinic, I was excited and pleasantly surprised. Due to their busy schedule and load of administrative work, few bishops would take three hours early on a Saturday morning to lead their flock in protest. While this may be understandable, it is a pity. Amid the chaos that defines modern life, we faithful are in great need of shepherds who will take definitive stands and lead us to react against evil. I thank...

The F-B-I and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives have joined local authorities in the investigation of last night's blaze at the Presidential Women's Clinic. No one was injured.

A July 2004 fire damaged another Palm Beach County abortion clinic and a 2003 blaze damaged one in neighboring Broward...

A Kansas City abortionist is out of business after investigators discovered a grisly house of horrors at his clinic – with fetuses kept in Styrofoam cups in his refrigerator and one employee accusing him of microwaving one and stirring it into his lunch. The unsanitary conditions in Krishna Rajanna's clinic prompted legislative approval of new abortion regulations in Kansas, a bill that was vetoed by the governor. Rajanna's activities have reportedly been the subject of law-enforcement investigations for nearly two years.

A five-year manhunt for Eric Rudolph ended in 2003, when someone recognized him while he was foraging for food behind a grocery store in Murphy, North Carolina. Scavenging in a trash dumpster and hiding as a lone survivalist in the mountains of western Carolina are quite revealing. Rudolph had no support, aid or comfort within the pro-life community. Rudolph is a cowardly killer disguised as a defender of life. Rudolph, 38, pleaded guilty April 13 to the 1996 Atlanta Olympics bombing and two other explosions, after earlier admitting to orchestrating a 1998 abortion clinic bombing in Alabama. The bombings killed...

The very same day that the Clintons go to Long Island to meet with the TWA Flight 800 families, security guard Richard Jewell is patrolling the grounds of Centennial Park in Atlanta. He's a little Barney Fife-ish, but a good guy and very observant. Right around midnight, Jewell spots a large, olive-green, military-style backpack, known as an Alice pack, under a bench. He immediately shares this information with the Georgia Bureau of Investigation. When the GBI cannot find the pack's owner, the GBI officer and Jewell begin to clear an area around the pack. Soon afterward, the pack explodes. Two...

A federal judge yesterday struck down a Woodbridge ordinance requiring protesters to obtain a permit from the police chief seven days before holding a demonstration with 20 or more people. In a 26-page written opinion, U.S. District Judge William Bassler found the Woodbridge ordinance unconstitutional "because it delegates broad licensing discretion to the chief of police," contrary to prior decisions by the U.S. Supreme Court. "This court has little trouble concluding that the Woodbridge ordinance threatens to chill free speech by imposing monetary penalties on groups that fail to comply with an unconstitutional pre-registration requirement," the judge said. "Clearly some...

WICHITA, KS (Talon News) -- Pro-life action group Operation Rescue said on Tuesday that a representative from the La Quinta Inns corporate offices conducted an internal investigation into allegations that one of their hotels in Wichita, Kansas was being used by an abortion doctor.

The world just learned that "Catholic" actress Brooke Shields is the proud mother of a new baby girl. For a long time infertility problems made it impossible for her and her husband to conceive, and after many failed attempts to conceive naturally she resorted to the technological solution: in vitro fertilization (IVF). Now she is pictured on the covers of glamorous magazines with a smiling beautiful baby girl, but some have questioned her decision to use IVF. I am one of them. Was this star wrong to have a "test tube" baby? Yes. Dead wrong. While recognizing the pain of...

Some Background: This FRONTLINE documentary was first broadcast on PBS on April 18, 1983. It was filmed at a clinic in Chester, Pa., a small city which at that time had a 30% unemployment rate. The clinic was chosen because it was representative of abortion clinics in the United States. The clinic also offered individual counseling in which the reasons behind the decision are explored. During their five months at the clinic, the film's producers met with hundreds of women. The two whose abortions are shown in this film are single, white and young -- as are the majority of...

INTERVIEW Strategies for Reversing the Impact of Roe                                                   January 22, 2003 CBN.com – In the early 80's, Carol Everett ran four very lucrative abortion clinics in Texas.

Her ultimate goal is to see an end of what she now calls "pregnancy termination." CBN News Anchor Lee Webb spoke with Carol Everett to hear her strategies for reversing the impact of Roe vs. Wade.

I am asking Freeper help and advice on this. There is a certain Sheriff Deputy in Atlanta who works as a side job at an abortion clinic. The last two weekends, he has arrested "little old ladies" for being on the sidewalk. Ginny was first, and now Louise. The City of Atlanta will not honor his arrest, and he must summons Sheriff Deputy cars to take his "notorious" "little old ladies" to jail. This smells of RICO and other things. Additional, the escorts for the abortion clients are supposedly involved in Witchcraft (one witch and one warlock, if my understanding...
