Senator Marco Rubio (R) FL has introduced a bill to reverse the Obamacare mandate that religious health care and other institutions be forced to cover contraception, abortifacient drugs and sterilizations. Above is a link to the text.
This bill unfortunately does not address the health care professionals themselves, who will have to leave their jobs in order to avoid participating in similar obamacare mandates.

This is a compendium of cases, provided by Life Dynamics, in which women’s refusal to abort was the reason for being murdered. By no means is it comprehensive, as there is no mechanism for compiling such data except scouring the news, or police reports, and women are generally secretive about the decision to abort.
Most women who are threatened with violence unless they abort will give in. Click above to learn what happened to some of the women who refused abortion.
U.S. Army Silences Catholic Chaplains From Speaking out Against Obama Admin Ruling | TheBlaze.com.
Some of the Chaplains read Catholic Archbishop Timothy Broglio’s letter objecting to Obama’s insistence that religious institutions pay for birth control ( hormones, abortifacients and sterilizations, etc. ) for their employees, despite a GAG ORDER from the Army Office of the Chief of Chaplains.
These chaplains were invited to contact the military archdiocesan attorney to obtain free assistance from public interest law firms which would defend their religious freedom and first amendment rights.
Prayers for the success of the military chaplains who took the initiative to defy the Army’s unconstitutional gag order.
*Pharmer will see if the letter will be read at her parish this Sunday.
Komen gave in to the extortion. They probably received the ultimate pressure. Pharmer would bet that Komen got a call from the IRS !!!! Yes, it’s the second thing that came to mind when hearing of this reversal of their original decision.
A normal group would have been angered by the extortion attempt from Planned Parenthood. The Komen group probably is, but fear is the primary driver that would overcome the anger. The biggest thing for a non-profit to fear is losing non-profit status. The next biggest fear is for the leaders to have their own personal reasons for fearing the tax man. The IRS is the instrument of Obama, who is the protector of planned parenthood.
The first thing that came to Pharmer’s mind: Now EVERYONE knows that Komen gives to planned unparenthood.. You can find another charity now, or give directly to research organizations. A while back, Pharmer celebrated Breast Cancer Awareness month by publishing alternatives to the Komen foundation. Click HERE.
*The Christian coalition is an example of a group which gave up non-profit status in order to continue publishing its issues-only voter guide. Planned unparenthood is an example of a group which has been exempted from the IRS criteria needed to retain non-profit status.
Bill Text: IN Senate Bill 72 – 2012 Regular Session | eLobbyist.
It was fairly easy to get Indiana Senate bill 72 passed by the republicans with most of the meat hacked out of it. What’s left is a bill that stops telemed abortions. It requires certain info to be given to women before giving the drugs, but it does not require that the info on the safety of the drugs be accurate.
Abortionists do not have to report treatment failures or adverse events, deaths, hospitalizations, caused by use of the abortion drugs. Therefore the safety of the drugs can never be assessed or compared with that of childbirth.
The definition of abortion drug, which is the main thing left in the bill can be construed include Ella, (ulipristal acetate) when the doses are accumulated in sufficient quantity to induce a home abortion.
There is no longer a visible requirement that the abortion drugs be used according to the FDA approved label. Therefore planned unparenthood can continue its practice of using one third the recommended dose of mifepristone, double the dose of misoprostil, and ejecting the embryo or fetus dead or alive.
The top link will lead you to what’s left of the bill as it leaves the senate.
Pharmacists will require special definitions of interceptive drugs, (which kill the early human embryo by stopping implantation), and and entirely separate legislation to be excused from dispensing the morning after pills, including Ella, which can be used for home abortions if the doses are accumulated.
Inside story on Komen split from Planned Parenthood – Jill Stanek.
Click above for a bit of inside scoop on the “divorce” of Susan G Komen Foundation and Planned Parenthood. Jill Stanek predicts that Komen is totally finished with funding planned parenthood, and one reason is that the latter organization took their “divorce” to the press, as a means of punishment.
Pharmer would be more enthusiastic about Komen foundation if it were really interested in addressing all the means to prevent and cure breast cancer. It seems to have become one of those bloated “non-profit” behemoths which burn a good portion of the funds which could have gone directly towards productive research and interventions.
Some charitable organizations begin a program of self perpetuation, to bring about job security for the employees.
The decision by Komen foundation to ditch planned parenthood likely had more to do with decreasing controversy, increasing income, and less to do with ethical reasoning.
The Komen statement that it does not fund embryonic stem cell research is likely fueled by public awareness that such efforts have produced no positive medical results. Geron, the former industry leader is also bailing out, and moving more resources to adult stem cell work. The statement put forth by Komen claims that it never funded embryonic stem cell research, though it has had prior association with institutions which were carrying out such research.

More on planned parenthood punishing Komen for defunding them. PP is using this event as a fundraiser and as a threat to other corporations which stop giving. Imagine what will happen if the girl scouts bail on them! Moral of the story, don’t get started with planned parenthood.
Susan G. Komen for the Cure Halts Partnership With Planned Parenthood | TheBlaze.com.
Over 680,000 dollars last year flowed from Susan G Komen foundation to various planned parenthood affiliates. The funding will be stopped until the congressional investigation of planned parenthood obtains a result exonerating that organization of the charges of concealing sex abuse of minors.
The actual underlying decision by Komen probably has more to do with loss of contributions because of their longstanding tie with planned parenthood. It has become more publicly known that planned parenthood uses only the “TSA method” of breast cancer screening, not mammography or MRI.

Birth Control and Reproductive Rights – NYTimes.com.
Some anonymous leftie at the New York Times praises Obama’s decision to trample on the human rights of religiously affiliated health care employers. The article wanders from this to weeping about those who oppose being made to pay for the recreational drugs and abortions desired by others.
Yes, birth control pills, when used for that purpose are recreational drugs, and almost all abortions are recreational procedures. They are optional, and support the pursuit of sex as a mini-vacation, purely for the fun of it.
This short editorial covers a lot of territory, moving next to the Texas rule mandating sonograms before abortions (allowing detection of ectopic pregnancies, and permitting more safety for the woman.) This regulation does not mandate that a woman be shown her sonogram, but does require that basic information be offered to her in order to support informed consent for the abortion procedure.
It is vastly amusing to see a leftist decrying “intrusion into the doctor patient relationship”. Medicare, medicaid and thousands of health care regulations are all about government standing between the patient and the physician. The vast majority of this intrusion has been at the behest of the leftists. One measure to provide for patient safety and informed consent with respect to abortion causes these same people to go ballistic.
Catholic Letter Denounces Health Care Contraceptive Mandate | Video | TheBlaze.com.
Catholic Bishops have put out letters opposing Obama’s latest assault on first amendment rights, and these were to be read to congregations this past Sunday. Obama has given Catholic institutions a year to begin paying for birth control, abortion producing drugs and sterilizations in their health care plans.
The bishops state that they will not comply, and are urging the congregants to write to their representatives in government to oppose Obama’s violation of civil rights, and religious freedom.
If you attended Catholic Church this past Sunday and did not hear this letter, it might be good to ask your pastor or your bishop why.
Planned Parenthood: Roe Dying, Sex-Selection Abortions OK | LifeNews.com.
“The Sky is falling on Roe v Wade”, says Casey Martin, director of Southern Finger Lakes region.
The above article ponders why is planned parenthood the main target of pro-life legal and political efforts. Is it just because it’s the largest U.S. chain of abortion mills? Pro-lifers cite the abortion provider’s attacks on them, claiming that they want to control the sexuality of poor people, etcetera.
What the above article missed is the Main Attack Planned Parenthood has launched on those who choose not to kill. For decades they have pursued a political program to force us to participate in their killing agenda. Planned parenthood has worked tirelessly to force us to pay for it with taxes, force us cover it with health insurance, and force health care professionals to participate in it. They have persistently opposed health care professionals’ right NOT to kill humans. They have lobbied tirelessly to include abortion as an obligate part of health care, tied to medicare and medicaid funding. They are behind the Obama-Sebelius actions against states who wish to defund planned parenthood. Obama has tied the care of the sick and the elderly to the provision of abortion services with tax payer dollars.
This is why Planned Parenthood has been and remains a main target of pro-life political action.
A real live Planned Parenthood Feminist is directing the Waterloo Region of Canada. Angie Murie lets her dark shine:
“I wrestle with gender-based abortion more than any other reason [a person might give for choosing to have an abortion,] Gender? Geez,” she said. “From a macro perspective, I don’t think it’s a very good idea for us to be eliminating women. But if you look at it at the individual level, which is what we do, I don’t have any right to say that one person’s reason is better or worse than another’s.”
Yes, it’s Planned Parenthood’s Waterloo….letting everyone know what pro-lifers knew all along: They’d KILL off the female sex for the sake of $ abortion $. That’s golden handcuffs for ya! You know they need the money and lifestyle when they’re perfectly willing to maintain a policy of killing off their customer base for the current income opportunity.
Canada’s National Post captures dueling abortion supporters on the topic of whether to deny women the choice to preferentially kill their girl babies. Those who recognize the problem of selectively wiping out their customer base must tie their ideology in knots to restrict the women’s “choice” to kill.
Abortion proponents make it easy for us to write the shock articles. They’ve been talking to each other so long that they don’t understand how grotesque they sound to people to whom this killing is unthinkable. Director of the Abortion Rights Coalition of Canada, Joyce Arthur can’t bring herself to just say no to sex selection abortion, even though she thinks women should be educated not to prefer boys over girls. “As soon as you put any kind of restriction on abortion, it really is a slippery slope,” ….”If you can restrict sex-based abortions, then why can’t you restrict abortions for genetic abnormalities? It’s not a road we should go down.”
Remember when the “slippery slope arguments” made no sense to the pro-aborts, who first sold abortion legalization based upon the “hard cases”?
Indiana panel backs abortion pill limit | The Courier-Journal | courier-journal.com.
Dr. John Stutzman, medical director of Planned Parenthood of Indiana, (and apparently allowed to teach at Indiana University), is not happy with the passage of Senate Bill 72 through the Health Committee. He says that using 200mg of mifepristone for chemical abortion, instead of the FDA recommended 600mg dose is sufficient. Apparently their purpose of reducing the progesterone receptor blocker and increasing the drug that causes violent uterine contractions is to avoid “side effects”. Planned parenthood sends the woman home with double the recommended dose of misoprostil to expel the embryo or fetus dead or alive.
No one is counting the failures which end up at our hospitals to have the abortion job finished up, and mind you, planned parenthood is NOT interested in having to report said failures so they can be tabulated and evaluated. (That requirement had already been removed from the bill.)
Whether the abortion job is finished by the chemical method or by follow up at a hospital (transferring liability to the hospital, and expense to that institution or to us) it is deemed a success at planned parenthood.

More commentary from Catholic News out of Ft. Wayne.
As usual, Allen West says the most with the least words.
Also, check out the report from Dr. Gridlock on the street closures due to the 2012 March for Life. It’s probably the most unbiased media announcement you could find concerning the ginormous annual pro-life rally.
Since the time Pharmer was first informed of current Indiana legislation to regulate the use of abortion drugs, there have been significant changes to the bill.
Of special concern is that no longer a requirement to report adverse events associated with abortion drug use.
Existing forms and services can be used for such reporting with respect to drugs and medical devices, for example:
http://www.fda.gov/downloads/Safety/MedWatch/HowToReport/DownloadForms/ucm082725.pdf
Adverse events associated with or related to childbirth are reportable as such to include the whole period of pregnancy, childbirth and the year after delivery, at the recommendation of the ACOG.
The non reporting of abortion related adverse events and deaths, combined with the more readily reported pregnancy related or associated deaths has led to false statistics comparing the relative risk of childbirth and abortion.
Senate Bill 72 is now structured in such a way as to facilitate a means to convince women that abortion is safer than childbirth. The lack of requirement for reporting abortion drug adverse events serves to worsen the current skewing and misrepresentation of facts, which denies patients the opportunity of giving informed consent.
Useful parts of the bill worth noting: The definition of abortion inducing drug includes “off-label use of drugs known to have abortion inducing properties if the drug is prescribed with the intent of causing an abortion”. (Ch.3 sec.1a)
The bill also requires that the abortionist “follows the drug label protocol for the abortion producing drug. (Ch3. sec 3a-2)
Expect a firestorm from planned parenthood which utilizes mifepristone, RU-486, in an off label manner by using less of the drug (a single 200mg tab) than recommended on the label, (three 200mg tablets) and by using it up to, or at 63 days gestation instead of 49 days.
According to the Mifeprex label, U.S., three x 200mg tabs are to be administered in a single dose, and the patient returns to the clinic in 2 days to take 2 tabs (400mcg) of misoprostil, to expel the human embryo or fetus. Planned Parenthood of Indiana is sending the patients home with four tablets (800mcg) according to their own info.
From Drs Gary and Harrison at Medscape: “The US clinical trial demonstrated a failure rate of 8% at 49 days or less from the last menstrual period (LMP), increasing to 17% at 50-56 days from the LMP, and further increasing to a 23% failure at 57-63 days from the LMP, as established by sonographic criteria………One serious concern raised by this review of AERs is the suggested fetal malformation rate of at least 23% following mifepristone failures that resulted in continuation of a live pregnancy.”

Abortion safer than giving birth: study | Reuters.
Reuters is telling us of a study, conducted by two abortion apologists, that claims that abortion is much safer than giving birth.
The difficulty with the study is that it relies upon the reporting of complications associated with abortions, something which is not usually done, because it is in most cases, entirely voluntary.
It’s not a stigma or a problem to report deaths associated with childbirth, (whether or not the condition of pregnancy caused the death.
It is a huge stigma to report complications associated with abortion, and also a stigma for patients to report that the raging infection that sent them to the ICU has followed an abortion procedure rather than a miscarriage.
Hospitals are completing abortion procedures on a regular basis, and the reporting of this is very spotty. Once we realized that even the abortion related deaths listed in the newspapers were not being tallied by the CDC, pro-lifers knew that no studies comparing deaths from pregnancy vs deaths from abortion would be worth the paper they’re written on.
Pharmer has concluded from personal experience in health care, as well as information on the reporting of abortion complications to the CDC, that there is no good data for comparing the safety of child birth vs abortion for the woman. We do know that abortion is highly lethal to the unborn baby, though there are a number of well known survivors.
After reading some of the articles below, most will no longer find CDC abortion mortality data to be reliable or useful.
The Under-reporting of abortion complications in Illinois.
How is the data of abortion complications collected?
Abortion records cannot be tallied from death certificates. A single U.S. private investigator tallied 30 percent more abortion related deaths than the entire CDC.
More on meaningless abortion mortality statistics.
Here are the ACOG standards for reporting pregnancy associated and pregnancy related deaths:
Pregnancy-associated death. The death of a woman while pregnant or within 1 year of termination of pregnancy, irrespective of cause.
Pregnancy-related death. The death of a woman while pregnant or within 1 year of termination of pregnancy, irrespective of the duration and site of the pregnancy, from any cause related to or aggravated by her pregnancy or its management, but not from accidental or incidental causes.
In your most fevered imaginings, do you think that there is complete reporting of abortion related deaths using these standards?
The sad thing is that this gaffe will be missed by a fair number of people: the sex selection abortion deniers. The U.S. and Canada both have trouble with sex selection abortions done for the polyglot of egoists and people from other cultures who wish to exert misguided control of their reproductive output.
Adaptation to the West is not immediate for those who come from places with no retirement plans whatsoever, and whose women have little to no earning capacity, or are given over to the inlaws family in marriage. Their unborn baby girls are selected against, as are those of people who simply prefer boys over girls.
On the 39th anniversary of the infamous Roe V Wade decision, Obama delivered a celebratory statement saying that Jan 23 is the chance to recognize the “fundamental constitutional right” to abortion and to “continue our efforts to ensure that our daughters have the same rights, freedoms, and opportunities as our sons to fulfill their dreams.”
Obama’s dreams for his daughters, (and the guys who use them,) to enjoy the availability of unfettered recreational abortion, comes at the cost of 50 plus MILLION american lives lost from surgical abortions alone.
Obama’s entire presidency is a gaffe.
Obama admin: birth control mandate is final; bishops vow to fight | LifeSiteNews.com.
“In effect, the president is saying we have a year to figure out how to violate our consciences,” said Archbishop Timothy Dolan.
From the statement above, you think the U.S. Catholic Bishops have a plan for dealing with their most favored President Obama?
There’s a debate over at JillStanek.com to see if people think the Bishops will stand up to Obama, or will they begin covering the pill, or will the religiously affiliated institutions pay the Dhimmi tax in order to be allowed not to cover the birth control pill.
The Dhimmi tax is the amount of money that religiously run hospitals would have to pay for each employee, in order to stop health care coverage for them. This tax will start out at two thousand dollars per individual, and increase from there.
In many Muslim governed countries, people of other religions have to pay additional taxes in order to be permitted to live in the country and practice their own religion. This is a perfectly good word to apply to the new relationship of pro-life religions to the dominant statist religion, which is coercing religiously run institutions to contribute to the state program of reproductive control.
I am wondering what will happen when the Muslim physicians, pharmacists and nurses decide that they have a problem with the coercive policies of the Obama administration, as have the Muslim health caregivers in Europe.
The reason that Europe is allowing some religious dissent to the abortion culture, is not because of the Christians. They already gave in. It’s mostly the Muslims who rolled the abortion coercion back a bit, by refusing to cooperate. The governments have sufficient fear of the Muslims that they’re afraid to deny them the freedom to not abort.
Sorry to say, there is a significant social drawback to turning the other cheek.
So far, it appears that the Bishops will eventually do what they did in Canada… let the government have its way, with minimal resistance. Pharmer would like for this prediction to be wrong.
The Romney-care system in Massachusetts almost accomplished forced abortion and sterilization procedures in a mentally ill female, but the initial court order has been thrown out by a higher appeals court .
The Norfolk Family and Probate Court Judge Christina Harms had ordered that these procedures could be forced upon a woman with psychotic disorders, through the use of deception and sedation.
Somehow this woman had access to legal recourse, bringing her case to an appeals court. One wonders how many forced abortions and sterilizations have been accomplished under the Romneycare system.
Obama care mandates include forcing the coverage of birth control without a copay. This will include religiously affiliated employers, which will have to comply within a year, or drop their health care plans altogether. This seems to have gotten the attention of the US. Conference of Catholic Bishops, which had previously supported obamacare against the better judgment of the pro-lifers. Of course they “had to pass the bill before they could know what’s in it,” as Nancy Pelosi has told us.
This means by summer of 2013, you might be looking for new health care coverage if you are employed at a religiously run hospital or health care provider. What is more likely is that these entities will begin coverage of birth control….. same as in Canada and other socialized medicine countries.
This Obamacare mandate reveals the high interest of leftists in sex with kiddies, the main set of people who couldn’t afford those generic BC pills.
This also feeds into the abortion industry, as the kiddies are highly non-compliant with their birth control.
Half of unplanned pregnancies are in people who were on some kind of BC.
Dependence on birth control feeds the abortion industry, says the data from long term birth control researchers such as Anna Glasier. None of the birth control modalities are nearly as reliable in real world situations as the theoretical claims put forth by the industry.
Obama is taking care of his own.
Silver lining??? It preferentially reduces the reproduction rate of lefties.

Introduced Version, House Bill 1228.
Click above to read House Bill 1228 in its entirety. This constitutes an effort to protect the health care workers who wish not to participate in abortion.
All citizens should be interested in this bill because it also protects the CHOICE of a woman to not get an abortion.
Once Obama-care sets in, there will be considerable coercive forces for a woman to abort in the case of untoward fetal diagnosis and various other economic reasons.
Freedom of choice for health care professionals is a line of protection for the freedom of choice by patients.
Even people who wish for abortion to be available, but not COERCED should be supporting the right of health care professionals to opt out.
Hospital Aborts Wrong Twin in Horrible Mistake | The Stir.
From Australia comes a story of a woman who decided to abort one of her twins due to a untoward fetal diagnosis of a heart defect. (In the pre-Obama care U.S. there are still corrective options for fetal heart defects.)
Due to an error, at the Royal Women’s Hospital in Melbourne, the healthy twin was killed instead. The mistake was discovered at 32 weeks gestation, at which time the twin with the heart defect (according to the article) was delivered by “emergency” c-section and then killed.
The article’s author commiserates with the mom who has “lost two children”.
These two children were not lost. They were both willfully killed.
The governmental health care administrators might wish to consider the cost of post infanticide mental damage to the mother, and compare it to the cost of fetal or neonatal cardiac repair, or even the cost of keeping a newborn comfortable if he or she has a fatal defect.
This video is said to be of a four month old baby who is claimed to have been tortured to death by Syrian forces suppressing those who protest against Bashir Assad.
At The Blaze there is more coverage of the conflicts, with a good deal of commentary about the barbarity of people who torture babies. The Daily Mail tells of a large dump of films on YouTube and social media, coming from the protesters. Many of the commenters there are skeptical of the films’ content.
Considering the manner in which the unborn and sometimes newborn babies are killed in the U.S., are we in a position to be castigating the Syrians?
Because of the government funding of Catholic schools, the Archdiocese of St Boniface had to fire a principal at Christ the King elementary school. David Hood lost his position for encouraging the students to participate in the 40 Days for Life prayer vigil. One wonders if David Bereit and company could suggest legal help for Mr. Hood.
The school in Manitoba, Canada is 50 percent funded by the government, and therefore is a dependent ward of the state. The funding is forfeited for participating in political activity. The pro-aborts of Canada categorize abortion as politics in order to suppress free speech on the matter. At issue is a claim that student service credit was to be offered for students who participated in the prayer vigil. Hood says that no student received such credit.
Naturally the Canadian Catholic Church, as a ward of the government is not free to teach its students that abortion is wrong, or that it is a thing to be opposed.
Catholic schools in the U.S. are accepting government grants, and to the extent that they receive this money, their activities and teachings are similarly curtailed.
Teen Spared For Two More Weeks From Parents Forcing Abortion | LifeNews.com.
Kristen Hawkens of Students for Life has searched the abortion supporting blogosphere for commentary on the 14 year old TX girl whose family is trying to force her to abort.
A Judge has given the girl a two week reprieve from having her parents drag her into a a clinic to kill her unborn baby, while it decides whether or not the execution should occur.
So far, there is little to no support for the CHOICE of the girl not to abort. This is as expected, as we knew that the pro-choice euphemism was a lie. “Choice” = abortion.
Also disturbing is the fact that the judge only granted a two-week injunction, in December, stopping the family from forcing the abortion.
In January the judge extended the reprieve to the 19th, and appointed a guardian to protect the girl, who has accused a cousin of assaulting her in order to coerce the abortion. She is represented by attorneys with the Texas center for Defense of Life.
The most comprehensive article on this ongoing case, listing the names of some family members and the names of intervening judicial officials, is found at The Daily Mail. This news source states that Judge Missy Medary appointed a guardian for the girl, and passed two injuctions. The girl, now 10 weeks along is apparently living with the relatives of her boyfriend who ‘will back any decision she makes’.
Ms. Carmen Pantoja, the grandmother of the girl, claimed that no one was forcing an abortion, but that she had suggested it. She has since told ABC news that the girl is “going to have her baby”

Reading the opinions of people who can’t see the big picture is sometimes inspirational. Salvatore of Breitbart is complaining that precious Republican debate time was wasted on the social issues, for example contraception. Pharmer unloads in response:
Most people wish not to see the connection between the social issues and the economic issues. Those politicians who address the social issues are castigated, as they address the fact that something is a bit wrong in the lives of most of their fellow humans, and often their own lives as well. Yes, P.J. the social issues impinge directly upon the economic issues.
Pharmer is here to remind you what abortion did to social security, for example. It lowered the payer to payee ratio. That is a serous problem which will kill the program soon.
Contraception? The “easy” forms of birth control feed the abortion industry, because of their effect on behavior, and because of the fact that they are not nearly as effective in actual use as the purveyors claim. Many forms are also related to the social security insolvency, by the way, due to the multiple means by which they reduce overall fertility.
Back to abortion: if you can kill those with medical difficulties, there is no need to develop the means to overcome these difficulties. Medical innovation ceases and there is stagnation.
Physician assisted suicide is also an easier short term solution which suppresses medical and technological innovation.
Such stagnation leads to further depression of the economy.
Divorce is a serious social issue which reduces the economic status of the family, and wastes resources through duplication of the household. There is a need for two dwellings, double furnishings, double heating and air conditioning. Divorce is NOT GREEN. It makes Mother Earth cry.
This is just scratching the surface.
It really is time for all people to get over the trauma of their personal circumstances, and admit that addressing social issues in an intelligent way would help the economy and the environment, as well as raise people’s standard of living.
This does not mean that the government should necessarily have its nose in very personal affairs, but that it should stop rewarding detrimental behavior, and stop punishing those who make the effort to live up to commitments and hold their families together.

Pro-life nurses win major court battle (OneNewsNow.com).
Twelve nurses of the same surgery unit at University of Medicine and Dentistry Hospital, one of New Jersey’s largest health care facilities, have won their suit, and will not be forced to participate in abortion procedures.
Yet to be determined are the reprisals and scheduling problems which might crop up as a result of their dissent. U.S. District Judge Jose Linares says that he will retain jurisdiction over the case to monitor and rule on any disputes which might arise as the decision is enforced.
Perhaps the hospital will recognize the public relations problem of coercing participation in abortion, and allow the nurses to practice in peace.
Congratulations to the courageous nurses and the lawyers of the Alliance Defense Fund on their victory.

They’ve lost energy and funding for medical research in Europe, and have been pushing abortion for all sorts of untoward prenatal diagnoses, so this new abomination is just one in a series.
This resolution was passed by Members of the European Parliament on the first of December. Along with the push for aborting the babies of HIV infected moms, comes promotion of the risky behavior which spreads HIV, and use of the inadequate means of “protection”.
A number of factors have pushed the advancement of medical science in Europe into a state of suspended animation. One is the inherently bankrupt nature of government run medicine. Another is the practice of killing the victims which eliminates the pressure to find medical means to alleviate their suffering.
There have been regimens of HIV meds given to infected mothers, and regimens of zidovudine or nevirapine used in newborns, to prevent the appearance of HIV in the infant, which have met with very high rates of success.
Apparently an extreme impoverishment of the health care systems in Europe motivates them to promote abortion as a solution to this problem, instead of using antiretroviral drugs.
A ten year investigation of Planned Parenthood, for concealing the rape of minors, started by then Attorney General Phill Kline has come to a grinding halt, just as it was ready to go to trial. This is because Kathleen Sebelius’ latest choice for Attorney General, Steve Sixx had the relevant documents shredded. The most significant evidence in the case has been purposely destroyed.

Supposedly Komen only funds non-profits for breast exams and mammograms. As was discovered earlier this year, Planned Parenthood only offers the”TSA method” of exam, and no mammography services.
A slew of protests from pro-lifers and bloggers induced the Book sellers to relent.Lifeways’ lead management did not want to have even an indirect association with Planned Parenthood, so they have been removing the Bibles from stock.
This story has gained some traction in national main stream media, so it will be noticed by Komen’s usual donors. They’ve got a problem on their hands.
Judge to Determine if Pre-teens Can Buy Morning After Pill | LifeNews.com.
Unfortunately we have been allowing too many medically ignorant people to make legal decisions regarding health. (We’ve also seen some of their writing invade the medical journals.) Pharmer sometimes speaks with politicians about drug issues. Even the ones who are making a sincere effort to understand get the glazed-eyes look when pelted with too much medicinal chemistry and pharmacology. Others are simply disinterested in drug mechanisms of action and their relative risks and benefits. A third group overlaps, which has an agenda of increasing sexual access to younger girls, and increasing abortion business by this means. They have political supporters to pay off.
A New York Federal Judge, Edward Korman has agreed to hear a case from from the Center for Reproductive “Rights” on whether the morning after pill should be placed out on store shelves. This case was filed before the Sebelius decision regarding Plan B.
Judge Edward Korman had previously ordered the FDA to let seventeen year olds obtain the medication without a prescription, so Pharmer already feels that he likes them pretty young, at or just after the legal age of consent.
The next question is whether or not Judge Ed likes them VERY young, before they have the ability to form the first dimple of cellulite in the adipose padding of the female curvatures. Is Judge Ed a Ped?
Pro-life people have to pay a social price for not wanting to participate in killing humans. We are ostracized, less employable, and pelted with every sort of obscene epithet and accusation. Some do jail time for peaceful protesting, while the much more violent leftie protesters are left to trash public and private property as they please. There is one law for pro-lifers and another for the lefties.
The usual response from our side is to try to be sooooo nice and hope that the lefties learn to love us. Someone needs to tell the USCCB , the Republican party, and various other pro-life groups that this will never happen. (Soon they might be where the Egyptian Coptic Christians are now.)
Pharmer is not in the mood to be nice to sexual predators, and those who profit from them.
Maybe Judge Ed will wake up and determine that it is just too sick to let guys buy or steal these pills so easily and use them on drugged out pre-teen runaways who have been pressed into prostitution.
But if he doesn’t…. it would mean that there’s something hugely wrong with him and his family, that they’re abnormal. Should your kids be allowed anywhere near such people? Would you want to be known to socially prefer the company of sex perverts? Would you then feel safe in Judge Korman’s neighborhood or want him at your school functions?
These are the things which need to be decided. What kind of world to you want to live in? What will you do to adjust your environment so that it doesn’t deteriorate any further? People who are interested in the well being of their children should be protecting them from the ones who think that it’s OK for an 11 year old to be having sex and buying plan B with their school lunch money, or being fed with the pills by sexual predators.
Does Planned Parenthood Secretly Support the Plan B Decision? | LifeNews.com.
There is conjecture that Planned Parenthood might not have minded Kathleen Sebelius’ decision not to permit the sale of Plan B out on store shelves.
In reality, Planned Parenthood is trying to increase its market share of the surgical and chemical abortion businesses. Selling Plan B One-Step out on the store shelves everywhere would accomplish this.
Plan B is not very effective. If girls and women are using it more, Planned Parenthood would sell more abortions. So they probably preferred that decision over the opposite.
There is a reason why Planned Parenthood did not have such an extreme shrieking response as some other abortophilic groups. It was already a prime distributor of this relatively INeffective birth control drug, and this business will continue. The profit margin is huge and the relative liability risk is small. Planned Parenthood will not gain the increased abortion business which was expected if Plan B had been made extremely easy to buy or steal, but that is offset by the fact that they will remain a front running distributor.
It is very possible that Sebelius would change her mind regarding Plan B if Obama is reelected in 2012. Holding this out to Planned Parenthood might induce them to continue forking over the campaign support.
Yesterday was interesting. There was a call from “Maggie” who wanted to know if the Pharmer would speak with ABC News reporters (for Diane Sawyer’s program) concerning the FDA’s idea to allow Plan B to be sold on store shelves. This was said to be a followup to a story from LONG ago featuring yours truly.
The ever agreeable Pharmer said “yes”, and mentioned that the FDA should be concentrating on the rampant shortage of essential medications, rather than messing around with Plan B. “Maggie” said there would be a call back to time the interview. ………. That, of course, was not to be, because VOILA!! The story changed radically and they likely no longer wanted to parade the weird pro-life pharmacist , who does not wish to kill humans at any stage of development.
So. to those who think the lefties are not happy with the results, and their party was squashed, and they need a Waaaaambulance…….. You are CORRECT, and that includes the mainstream media.
The lefties are wailing and gnashing their teeth about pre-teens and men not being able to purchase or steal Plan B from the shelves. It’s been fun to read their comments on some of the news sites.
Pharmer originally thought Sebelius possibly felt she had collected enough barnacles and “bad Karma” in Kansas, with respect to facilitating the abuse of minors, abusing Phill Kline, and “losing” documents. She perhaps no longer wanted that to be highlighted and discussed everywhere she looks. So perhaps she decided to give her agenda a rest for once.
Another alternative idea is that Sebelius is actually recalcitrant, and wanted to allow the FDA decision to fly. Perhaps she was ordered from above to countermand the FDA recommendation, and WAIT TILL AFTER THE ELECTION to allow it.
From a practical standpoint, the items which are often stolen wind up being locked up in stores. Plan B One-Step would be one of these, because a person can easily break into the box, take the pill and leave the empty container with it’s little alarm device still inside. So perhaps it would not be placed out with the condoms after all.
Plan B: Sebelius Overrules FDA, Nixes Sale Without ID.
Above is an insane article written for Web MD, by Daniel J DeNoon, bemoaning that Kathleen Sebelius has overruled the even crazier FDA regarding their plan allow sale Plan B out on the shelves next to the condoms. DeNoon demonstrates his medical incompetence by pretending to give the mechanisms of Plan B action, but failing to remember the one, listed in manufacturers information to the providers, which causes controversy. The article uses “urban legend” in reference to obvious consequences of making Plan B easily available. The author also appears unaware of the studies showing NO decrease in demand for abortion resulting from increased availability of Plan B.
Kathleen Sebelius has been under fire for years, due to her cozy relationship with Planned Parenthood and late term abortionist George Tiller, while governor of Kansas. Her background troubles include shady dealings with States attorneys general, persecuting one of them for investigating abortion clinics for failing to report abortions done on minors, and shredded documents pertaining to these investigations.
She is also involved in denying medicare and medicaid funding for states which refuse to fund Planned Parenthood with tax dollars.
Perhaps in an act of self interest, Sebelius has decided not to add fuel to the fire of accusations against her, aiding and abetting the abuse of minors, through her association with the abortion industry.
Placing Plan B One-Step where men can easily buy it, for use in unsuspecting sex partners, or abuse victims is a problem so obvious, Sebelius could see it. Even without this easy availability, this drug and other chemical abortion drugs have been used on women without their consent.
Medscape should anticipate some backlash for posting the above over the counter, Plan B advocacy article, as it severely reduces confidence in their other content.

October Baby presents the story of abortion survivors through a fictional tale which is loosely based on Gianna Jensen’s story.
The “October Baby” at age 19 learns that she’s adopted, also that she’s the survivor of a failed abortion. She then decides to find her birth mom, and the movie chronicles the trip, and the process of forgiveness.
So far the film is getting pretty good reviews, but it will not be getting wider distribution in the movie theaters until March of 2012. Keep your eyes open for it.
Learn about Shari, the actress who plays the birth mom of the October Baby, and her own story of healing.
Gingrich Breaks from Some in Anti-Abortion Community on When Life Begins – ABC News.
Newt doesn’t want to give up on embryonic stem cell research, yet, although the front running private research company, Geron has done so. It would be nice if he and the rest of the candidates could commit to cease wasting public funds on unethical research which has consistently failed to produce results.
The candidate probably does not want to get into the issue of the morning after pills and the birth control pills, and he’s willing to display ignorance of developmental biology in order to avoid this. Gingrich might be afraid of losing the birth control pill users by acknowledging that the life of a sexually reproducing organism begins when it really does.
He was also able to suspend logic, accept the fraud of global warming, and sit down with Nancy Pelosi in a warm and fuzzy Environmentalist Whacko ad.
The entire government could start by acknowledging reality.
Rather than being mis-branded as “contraceptives” the various hormonal B.C. products should be called ‘birth control drugs’, and carry the tag “This product has multiple mechanisms of action, and might (or is likely to) operate by stopping the life of an early human embryo.”
Yaribely Almonte is accused of taking an herbal tea in order to abort her unborn baby. She wrapped the baby’s 7 inch long body and put it in the dumpster of the appartment building where she had a temporary residence. News sources are not in agreement on the sex of the baby.
The body was found by the building custodian who was sorting recyclables from the dumpster.
New York law allows abortions up to 24 weeks for any reason, but later term abortions are allowed only to “save the life of the mother”, (although there is not such a necessity to kill a baby before delivering in order to save the mother in todays medical environment.)
Almonte joins only four other women who have been charged with self abortion in New York in the last three decades. This charge has been reserved for abortions done after 24 weeks. The age of this baby has not yet been determined.
New York City has a high concentration of practicing abortionists, but this has not stopped a preference for home abortions among some of the subcultures there. Perhaps these people don’t trust the abortion providers.
Christophe Champenois Reportedly Murders Son In Washing Machine.
This guy is said to have stuffed his toddler into a washing machine, and turned it on. The little boy died of head injuries.
This is just a very late term abortion. Princeton University bioethicist, Peter Singer, has told us that aborting at the toddler stage of development is OK, calling 3 years of age ethically a grey case.
A commonality is that the deaths occur by brutal methods which are out of sight of the perpetrator (unless ultrasound guided), whether they occur in the washing machine or in the uterus.
