AZ court upholds limits on abortion

AZ court upholds limits on abortion.

Jivin J over at Jill Stanek’s found this news, of an  Arizona appeals court upholding that state’s new abortion limitations.

Nurse practitioners are no longer allowed to do the mifepristone abortions.  Waiting periods remain in place, and pharmacists right of conscience is upheld with respect to other abortive drugs: the morning after pills.

This is a BIG deal, as the criterion of  “undue burden” for women is defined more stringently.  The fact that the law allows some burden on those seeking abortion is not sufficient for the law to be overturned.

*Note:  Mifepristone, RU-486,  is dispensed by the prescriber or his agent, not pharmacists.  However the chemical analog, ulipristal acetate, or Ella, a morning after pill, is able to be dispensed by pharmacists.

New bill could prevent pharmacists from denying contraception prescriptions to customers – NorthJersey.com

Two legislators, Sen. Frank Lautenberg, D-N.J., and Rep. Carolyn Maloney, D-N.Y are pushing a bill to deny pharmacists the right of conscience with respect to dispensing hormonal birth control.

Jewels Green : Another Pro-life Convert Out of the Closet

~ Pharmer

Exclusive: Former Abortion Clinic Worker Speaks Out For Life.

Jewels Green had a long history with the abortion industry, beginning with a coerced abortion in her teen years,  then years of employment in the abortion industry.

She   has long since left that work, having come to the conclusion that she could never get used to ending human life in that way.   Only after seeing the book by Abby Johnson (on the side bar ad)   and her testimony has Ms Green  been able to publicly make a statement about her own change of heart.

After reading it,  people will probably conclude that  Jewels Green was instinctively pro-life all along.

Chemical Abortion

~ Pharmer

Pro-lifers recognize surgical abortion as killing humans, but not all of them recognize the scope of the problem presenting as chemical abortion. Generally we  recognize  mifepristone, the chemical formerly known as RU-486. The initial name of the drug  stayed with us, (the same as with the Artist formerly known as Prince).  Mifepristone is best known in the U.S. for its function to kill unborn humans during the embryonic stage, up to 49 days of pregnancy, although it has other investigational uses.

Meet the TWINS!  Ulipristal acetate and Mifepristone.  As you can see, they’re not quite identical, but very close. Both are selective progesterone receptor modulators.


Mifepristone, RU-486 is the most regulated drug in the U.S. Pharmacists don’t dispense it. It’s supposed to be dispensed only by physicians, directly to patients. In China and other countries it has been used as a morning after pill, as well as a killer of later embryos and early fetuses.

Those astute drug companies knew that this drug would not sell as a morning after pill in the U.S. That’s why we have it’s TWIN, Ulipristal Acetate, approved  by the FDA  in August , 2010,  and brought to us in by Watson Pharmaceuticals in December of the same year.  Watson also distributes Next Choice, generic of the original form of Plan B.

At 0.5mg/kg, Ulipristal Acetate, marketed as ELLA, is usable as a morning after pill. It’s marketed as an inhibitor of ovulation, but the manufacturer admits that the operative mechanism depends on the timing of its use. Like RU-486, Ulipristone is an anti-progesterone. It stops the action of that hormone in the reproductive tract, inhibits proliferation of the endometrium, inhibits implantation, and kills the embryo.

Obama Sez: His ‘Healthcare Doesn’t Fund Abortions’, He Will Force the States to Fund It.

~ Pharmer

“One more misunderstanding I want to clear up — under our plan, no federal dollars will be used to fund abortions, and federal conscience laws will remain in place,” the president said in an address to a joint session of Congress to sell health care reforms. -September 10, 2009 FOXNews.com

Obama’s intention, as expressed to the State of Indiana, is that he will force the states to fund abortion with their taxpayer dollars.

The Obama Dept of Health and Human Services  says that the Indiana decision to remove tax funding of abortion providers,  denies needed health care services to  medicaid recipients. Indiana has 28 Planned Parenthood clinics and many hundreds  of other qualified providers  to deliver real  health care to women in the 21 counties affected by the defunding of abortion clinics.  The argument from the HHS  is that defunding planned parenthood restricts choice of providers to  patients dependent on medicaid  funds for their treatment.  (Pharmer notes: this will be the ultimate effect  of Obamacare on everyone).  Here’s the Letter from the Obama HHS  medicaid director  Donald Berwick to Indiana’s  counterpart,  Patricia Casanova.

If Indiana stops funding abortion clinics, as the Federal government is supposed to have done,  the Obama administration intends to cut off  federal funding for all medicaid  patients in the state of Indiana.   His Dept of Health and Human Services, run by the radically pro-abortion Kathleen Sebelius is expected to  threaten  all the states similarly.

The message is loud and clear.  We fully  understand that  providing abortion is a prime directive of the Democrat Party, and its importance supercedes that of all other health care.

Perhaps the states will tire of the federal usurpation of their rights, and dictatorial control by the federal government. It appears thus far that Indiana will be putting up a fight.

Let’s hope the state  doesn’t  cave as Texas did to the TSA gropers.

Money Talks .. Notre Dame Drops Charges against Pro-life Protesters

Charges dropped against anti-abortion Notre Dame commencement protesters – WSBT-TV.

It was a significant problem in the funding department for Notre Dame to be criminally prosecuting pro-life protesters who objected to the Pro-Abortion Extremist, Obama being honored at Notre Dame and giving a commencement speech.

It seems that efforts such as the one to Replace Jenkins have had their effect on funding for the university.

Blagojevich Rule Challenged | Daily News | NCRegister.com.

In Sangamon County, Circuit Court Judge John Belz ruled that Illinois pharmacists can’t be forced to dispense the morning after pills against their own ethical standards and religious beliefs.

Opponents promise to immediately challenge this ruling, but Atty. Francis J. Manion,  ACLJ senior counsel, who represented the conscientiously objecting pharmacists notes that the court ruling addresses specific arguments for which the Illinois state attorneys were not able to provide evidence.   For example,  they were not able to argue that a single woman had been prevented from obtaining her morning after pills by a pharmacist who would not personally provide them.  For that reason, an appeal on their part will likely be a waste of Illinois’  negative financial resources.

The Illinois edict, which was overturned in the circuit court, had basically been designed  by Planned Parenthood, and this is the case for many other unconstitutional state laws opposing the human rights of health care professionals.

The article linked addresses  the battle over   conscience rights in numerous other states, including Wisconsin, Washington, where the  pharmacists  are in trouble, and in several more states which have recently supported pharmacists of conscience.

Scroll down in this blog to see the prescriber information for  Plan B, which clearly contradicts  the false premise of the Wisconsin regulations,  forcing pharmacists to dispense Plan B (as well as all other hormonal birth control).    Expect a new  legal battle to erupt in that state as the pharmacy owners are forced to apply the legislation and fire conscientiously objecting pharmacists.  Wisconsin’s legislation targeting the pharmacists was hidden in budget bills by the democrat legislature, and passed without much notice.  The newer state government might find cost containment benefits in rescinding the legislation.

The legal battle  is  ongoing in the state of Washington,  which the pro-abortion Governor Gregoire and her Board of Pharmacy  might drive all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court.   It might be the crowning achievement of their careers.

Democrats Will Shut Down Government over Planned Parenthood Funding

~ Pharmer

Planned Parenthood is one of the very Few groups which Obama and the Dems would not throw under the bus. Others are the Unions and George Soros.  Almost any one else is expendable, from the greenies to the anti-war groups, and the military itself. Some of the loyalty stems from planned parenthood’s persistent campaign funding expenditures for democrats.

Obama is ready to shut down the government in order to hold onto the Planned Parenthood group.  He does not want to defund them, even though it is within the scope of the rich Dems to replace 330 million of tax payer funds with private funds.   Their position is that we should all be forced to pay for abortions, birth control, and aiding the sex slave trade.

The pro-life groups starting long ago with Mark Crutcher have established Planned Parenthood’s complicity with those who sexually abuse minor girls, with his Eight Hundred, 800,  calls to abortion clinics, including a large number of planned parenthoods. Here is the collection from just the state of Illinois.

Lila Rose and Live Action gave us more audio and very well done video to drive home the same point.   Jill Stanek and Lila Rose provided  more audio showing that there is no mammography equipment at the planned parenthood facilities, driving home the point that the cancer screening, and Komen foundation funding is a scam.    One can obtain the grope exam at any airport, from the TSA. 😉

Planned Parenthood is closing its unprofitable clinics, and showing a  trend to move  towards focus on abortion services.   It is also not giving away free services.   The claim that they are focused on charitable efforts for low income people is a scam.  They do not provide free health care. They outsource the charity patients to public health facilities if medicaid and related funding cannot be obtained.

With all this in mind,  Remember that  Obama and your Democrats could not produce a budget, and are needing the Republicans to do so.

The Republicans are wanting to defund Planned Parenthood and have prepared a separate bill to fund paychecks for military personnel if the Dems shut down the government on this.  It appears that most of the dems oppose this bill.

Pharmer hopes that the Republicans don’t wimp out this time…. and it’s looking like they’ll stick to their guns  this weekend.

Al Sharpton Defends NYC aborting 60% of Black Babies

Alveda King: ‘The Most Dangerous Place for An African American is in the Womb’ | CNSnews.com.

Prol-life leader, Alveda King spoke up about Al Sharpton’s  threat to protest the Pro-life sign put up in the Soho district of New York City.  It pointed out the fact of NYC’s extremely high rate of abortion for Black residents.

Pro aborts threatened people  who worked in the building near the pro-life billboard, and this caused Lamar Advertising Company to remove the sign prematurely.

Al Sharpton took credit for the censorship.  Apparently he’s OK with New York’s  incredibly high abortion rate, with the rate of killing Black babies vastly outpacing that of White babies.   He apparently has concluded that pointing out the problem  is  a much greater offense than the actual killings.
