As General Assembly sessions go, the Commonwealth of Virginia’s recently completed legislative session went with little drama and much compromise. Both Republicans and Democrats worked alongside each other, making numerous compromises and not falling into anarchy like Wisconsin. Yet the hot-button moral issues did get some airtime. In late February, not long before senators and delegates left Richmond for home, a bill was passed that will affect Virginia’s abortion clinics. As reported by the Washington Post, the General Assembly decided that “clinics where most of the state's early-term abortions are performed should be regulated as hospitals instead of as...

... it is men like him who have borne the heat of the day. He is, to borrow the nickname of heavyweight boxer Evander Holyfield, the "real deal." He was unafraid to suffer for our youngest neighbors to the point of enduring unjust imprisonment. I hired him in the early nineties while he was under "house arrest" with an ankle bracelet and I was the Executive Director of the ACLJ... He told me of this State senate hearing called in response to the case of Dr. Kermit Gosnell, the West Philadelphia abortionist criminally charged for the commission of eight murders....

We recently received a letter from a Pro-Life hero who, along with many, many others, stands outside of the so called “Northern Illinois Women’s Center” daily. This is an awful place where the lives of innocent children are routinely taken by procured abortion. Our writer braves the elements in order to proclaim the truth about what occurs inside that House of Horrors, as have scores of other pro-life champions for twenty five years. They pray and plead with the women who are being deceived into this evil act to change their minds and save their child. They also offer help...

Contact: Jerry Horn, 540-220-0095 AMARILLO, Texas, October 2 /Christian Newswire/ -- The closing of up to five Michigan Planned Parenthood clinics in the coming months due to a reallocation of taxpayer funds to other groups will benefit the public says Fr. Frank Pavone, National Director of Priests for Life. "Less money for Planned Parenthood ultimately means fewer abortions," said Fr. Pavone. "Planned Parenthood is the nation's largest abortion provider. Less Planned Parenthood equals more life, it's that simple. Hopefully, Michigan taxpayers' money will be redirected to organizations that will actually serve the public health." Priests for Life is the nation's...

WHITE PLAINS, NY, September 21, 2006 (LifeSiteNews.com) - Yesterday, Expectant Mother Care-EMC FrontLine Pregnancy Centers filed suit against "Dr. Emily's" abortion clinic with sites in the Bronx and downtown Brooklyn citing evidence of deceptive advertising practices. "EMC is taking the lead in countering a truly deceptive abortion advertiser which pretends to be an alternative to abortion agency advertising under pro-life ad categories in New York City yellow pages," said Chris Slattery, founder and president of EMC, operator of 15 pro-life crisis pregnancy counseling centers and medical clinics in New York City and suburbs. "To aggressively compete against pro-life centers, we've...

A Lawrence abortion clinic — one of a handful in Kansas — has gone out of business. "We just don't have the funds to keep functioning. We've run up as much debt as we could manage. Essentially, we don't have operating capital at all," said Dr. Kristin Neuhaus, who had operated a clinic in Lawrence since 1997. The last few items still in the office suite at 205 W. Eighth St. were to be removed today. Neuhaus said she also would have completed follow-up visits with patients by the end of the day. Abortion opponents said they were delighted the...

Currently, abortion clinics are exempt from reporting child sex abuse, even if they become aware of it. The two clinics, whose names have been sealed by the Kansas Supreme Court, are blocking the release of the records citing privacy concerns of their patients. "Rape is a serious crime and when a 10, 11, or 12 year old is pregnant -- they have been raped under Kansas law," said Kline in a press release dated Feb. 24, 2005. "The child's privacy is always protected…no one has the right to rape or victimize a child or woman whether in private or public....

The Ephesus Project September 01, 2004 It takes a village to kill a child Abortion clinics need a lot of help to remain open and to continue killing innocent children. Not only are "doctors", procedure room workers, and office staff needed, but so are plumbers, printing companies, and electricians and financial contributors. The goal of the Ephesus Project is to identify and expose those businesses that associate and partner themselves with the child killing clinics of Central Virginia. The Ephesus Project has several desired goals in mind. 1. To identify those who enable abortionists to continue their assault upon innocent...

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...

Sacramento Judge Limits Abortion Clinic Protests A Sacramento Superior Court judge has put limits on the behavior of protesters outside a Sacramento abortion clinic. Judge James Long ordered protesters to obey a 20-foot buffer zone at the Women's Health Specialist Clinic. Clinic workers and patients had complained they were being harassed by protesters who gather every Thursday and Saturday. They said demonstrators taunted patients, blocked the driveway, and threw anti-abortion flyers at cars. Abortion protestors, however, argued they were merely exercising their First Amendment rights. Long ruled protesters will have to stage their protests 20 feet away from the...

COLUMBIA, S.C. - A group of Congressmen have written Attorney General John Ashcroft urging him to drop prosecution of a South Carolina man arrested for trespassing while protesting an appearance by President Bush in October. Rep. Barney Frank, D-Mass., said 11 House members - 10 Democrats and Texas Republican Ron Paul - wrote to Ashcroft that charging Brett Bursey was a mistake "and is in fact a threat to the freedom of expression we should all be defending."
