Elena Kagan not only supported partial birth abortion, also known as killing-a-baby-as-he-or-she-being-born, she did it outright dishonestly. But who would doubt lying when murder is openly embraced? From Worldmagblog:

When Supreme Court nominee Elena Kagan was a domestic policy adviser at the Clinton White House, she wrote a memo in the midst of the debate over Congress issuing a ban on partial-birth abortion. Her 1996 memo cites a statement from the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG), a medical group that eventually opposed a ban on partial-birth abortion, which reads: (more…)

Here is a trailer for a new documentary Blood Money about the enormous racket that is the abortion industry. For those who are aware that there are approximately 3500 abortions each day in our land of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, think about the monetary implications: 3500 abortions times $650 (the cost of an abortion 12 weeks and under according to my neighborhood Planned Parenthood office) times 365 days equals over $830 million each year. No wonder PP is such an enormously profitable “non-profit”.

Planned Parenthood receives over $27 million each year of taxpayer dollars in Washington State. Now they are about to about to accredit medical practices in their own clinics. From the Family Policy Institute of Washington:

Every day in Washington State, people have surgery in office-based facilities. Hundreds of offices perform procedures like oral surgery, foot surgery, and plastic surgery outside hospital facilities.

While I am not personally aware of any crisis, there is apparently concern about lack of regulation of these facilities. Enough concern, in fact, that within the Washington State Department of Health, the Medical Quality Assurance Commission (MQAC) is drafting new rules to create standards for office-based surgery centers.

Among the provisions is an accreditation requirement for the office in which the surgery takes place.

Somewhere along the way, the abortion industry realized that they were going to be included in these regulations. And that’s where this story gets interesting, because that’s when the MQAC started treating people differently. After working for nearly two years to create uniformity for all office-based surgery centers, the MQAC inserted language that would discriminate against medical facilities simply because they do not provide abortions:

“In lieu of accreditation or certification by one of the above-listed entities, facilities limiting office-based surgery to abortions or abortion-related services may be accredited or certified by either the Planned Parenthood Federation of America or the National Abortion Federation.”

After taking a pregnancy test at the school clinic, a Ballard High School student was given a pass and sent off in a cab to have an abortion. In case you were worried, the school doesn’t run the clinic–Swedish Medical Center does.

T.J. Cosgrove of the King County Health Department, which administers the school-based programs for the health department, says it’s always best if parents are involved in their children’s health care, but don’t always have a say.

Sixteen-year-old kids can’t get a drink, but they can be sent off to have their unborn children terminated without their parents ever finding out. I’ve heard it well said that Roe v. Wade established not just the abortion of children, but the abortion of the family since fathers legally have no say over the fate of the children. Now it is plain that mothers have also been aborted. The state can send kids from their “in loco parentis” education institution to get an abortion, subsidize the trip, and no parent ever finds out.

From Charmaine Yoest of Americans United for Life:

Yesterday, President Obama released his health care proposal…with no mention of the Life issue.  Remember, the President promised you that “no federal dollars will be used to fund abortions, and federal conscience laws will remain in place.” In a meeting last fall, I told the White House very clearly that unless they include specific legislative language banning the use of federal funds for abortion, they will be establishing taxpayer funding for abortion.  The President knows what he needs to do to keep his promise and has done just the opposite.

The Washington Examiner reported yesterday that the President and his staff have met at least four times with Planned Parenthood President Cecile Richards, but that the President has not spoken to Congressman Bart Stupak – sponsor of the Stupak Amendment that protected Life in the House of Representatives health care bill – since September 18^th, 2009.  There is only one conclusion to be drawn; the Obama Administration has been working hand in hand with the pro-abortion lobby.
