Abortion Doctor’s Lawyers Seek Dismissal Of Charges
Abortion Doctor’s Lawyers Seek Dismissal Of Charges « CBS Baltimore: Dr. Steven Brigham lost his New Jersey medical license in 2010 after regulators discovered an arrangement under which he would begin second- and third-trimester abortions in New Jersey, and then have the patients drive themselves to Maryland the next day to complete the procedures.
His attorneys argued in a motion filed last week that the arrangement protects him from criminal prosecution in Maryland because Brigham administered drugs that killed the fetuses while the patients were in New Jersey. He then extracted the fetuses at his clinic in Elkton, Md., a small town in the northeast corner of the state.
Brigham’s lawyers also argue that he is immune from prosecution under Maryland’s fetal homicide law, which was intended to apply to people who kill or do physical harm to pregnant women, causing fetal death. The law includes exemptions for physicians administering lawful medical care, and Brigham’s attorneys say using it against an abortion doctor interferes with a woman’s constitutional right to terminate a pregnancy.

Water main break floods pregnancy center: When Candice Keller arrived at the center at the Community Pregnancy Center in Middletown, OH, early Sunday morning, water was gushing out of windows and came flooding out of the building when she unlocked the door. A water main break on the fourth floor of the building sent gallons of water rushing through the ceiling of the first floor center, drenching everything. She said their computers, furniture, baby clothes and more was soaked.

Donor Intent, Restricted Funds, and Changing Priorities
Here-4-You Consulting » Donor Intent, Restricted Funds, and Changing Priorities: Donor intent involves the donor’s wishes when they make a donation and whether those wishes are being ignored or subverted in some way. . . . More often it is that the donor does not clearly communicate their intent or the nonprofit over-promises what they can do. The lesson is to get specific in understanding what the donor wishes to happen. If it is to be unrestricted be sure that they specifically state that and write that in the memo of the check or in the award letter.

Under-the-radar violence in the conflict over abortion
Life Dynamics: A startling number of women are being sexually assaulted inside American abortion clinics. Beyond that, there are several other categories of subterranean abortion-related violence. The largest of these, and the subject of this report, is women who are attacked for refusing to have abortions.
Over the years, we have collected data on a large volume of these cases, the bulk of which are nonfatal assaults. Although the victims of these attacks often suffer horrifying and crippling physical injuries, we chose to concentrate solely on instances in which the victim died. Therefore, those are the only types of case histories you will find in this document.

Planned Parenthood Director Supports Sex-Selection Abortions | SBA-List: In an interview earlier this week, Angie Murie, executive director of Planned Parenthood Waterloo Region in Canada, was asked about sex-selection abortions. She said: “I wrestle with gender-based abortion more than any other reason [for having an abortion]...From a macro perspective, I don’t think it is a 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.”
Editor: We shouldn't be shocked by this statement. In fact, she's recognized the hypocrisy of being pro-choice and anti-sex-selection abortion.

The abortion/weight loss clinic
Jill Stanek: "Women & Teens Healthcare, located in North Miami Beach, Florida, offers both surgical and RU486 abortions. It also sells the HCG diet.
". . . HCG for diets is extracted from the urine of pregnant mothers and sold in pill or liquid form. The theory behind the HCG diet is it makes nonpregnant women (and men) burn fat. Whether or not this is true, the irony here is obvious. Abort your baby in one room, and get a pregnancy hormone to lose weight in another room."
Jill's blog post continues: "The FDA has declared over-the-counter (homeopathic) HCG illegal, although prescription HCG is legal. I called Women & Teens Healthcare this morning and asked which HCG product it sells. It sells the over-the-counter HCG. I confirmed that twice. For $350 you can get a two-month supply of illegal and probably worthless HCG pills."

City repeals, replaces sign ordinance for pregnancy centers
City repeals, replaces sign ordinance for pregnancy centers: The Austin City Council repealed an ordinance Thursday that requires some centers that counsel women with unplanned pregnancies to post entrance signs saying they don't offer or refer clients to abortion or birth control services.
The council replaced it with a new, similar ordinance that omits "abortion" and "birth control" from the signs and instead requires the centers to say on the signs whether they offer medical services under the direction of a licensed health care provider.
The four Austin centers that were subject to the original ordinance sued the city over the ordinance last year , saying it violated their constitutional rights and targeted them for their Christian views against abortion and contraception.
Attorneys for the centers said Thursday that the new wording still unfairly singles out their clients and that they plan to proceed with their lawsuit.

Practitioner Settles Case of Woman Killed in Failed Abortion
Practitioner Settles Case of Woman Killed in Failed Abortion | LifeNews.com: In the case, which has never before been revealed publicly, Nevada-based abortion practitioner Adam Vincent Levy, who works at A-Z Women’s Center in Las Vegas, settled a case in which he killed a woman a few years ago in a failed abortion.
According to public record documents obtained by AbortionDocs.org, Levy paid out $20,000 last year in a case alleging his negligence in the death of a patient during a botched abortion in 2007. In 2007, Levy paid out a whopping $6 million to settle a 1995 case brought by the family of a brain-damaged child who suffered injuries as the result of Levy’s misinterpretation of ultrasound findings.
In 2004, Levy settled a personal injury case for $7,500 after he allegedly inflicted second and third degree burns to a patient’s private organs by inserting a hot weighted speculum during surgery.
In spite of all this, Levy has never been disciplined by medical regulators. In fact, he continues to train abortion practitioners at the University Medical Center in Las Vegas.

A Serious Misrepresentation of the Relative Safety of Induced Abortion Compared to Childbirth
A Serious Misrepresentation of the Relative Safety of Induced Abortion Compared to Childbirth Published in a Leading Medical Journal | Wecare: You need to read this 2 page commentary so you know how to refute the mantra's misinformation. This is essential information for a prolife professional to know. You need to know that the data reported by abortion clinics to state health departments and ultimately to the CDC significantly under-represents abortion morbidity and mortality for several reasons: 1) abortion reporting is not required by federal law and many states do not report abortion-related deaths to the CDC; 2) deaths due to medical and surgical treatments are reported under the complication of the procedure (e.g., infection) rather than the treatment (e.g., induced abortion); 3) most women leave abortion clinics within hours of the procedure and go to hospital emergency rooms if there are complications that may result in death; 4) suicide deaths are rarely, if ever, linked back to abortion in state reporting of death rates; 5) an abortion experience can lead to physical and/or psychological disturbances that increase the likelihood of dying years after the abortion, and these indirect abortion-related deaths are not captured at all.
We urge you: download this information, and get a basic handle on it. Abortion is NOT safer than childbirth!.

Rehash of Abortion Safety Claim Ignores All Inconvenient Evidence to the Contrary
Rehash of Abortion Safety Claim Ignores All Inconvenient Evidence to the Contrary « After Abortion: Hundreds of news articles appeared this week claiming, once again, that the best medical evidence shows that abortion is safer than childbirth. The rash of articles were all tied to a blatant piece of propaganda published in Obstetrics and Gynecology by Dr. David Grimes, an abortion provider and chief propagandist for “medical proof” of abortion’s safety.
The new study repeats the same discredited practice of simply comparing nationally reported maternal mortality rates with Center for Disease Control (CDC) reported deaths associated with abortion. Sounds reasonable, until you learn that there is no accurate or formal mechanism for reporting abortion-related deaths. Indeed, the rules regarding completion of death certificates specifically exclude identifying abortion as a cause of death.
At least in part, this is why CDC officials have admitted that maternal mortality rates and abortion mortality rates “are conceptually different and are used by the CDC for different public health purposes.” In other words, the CDC numbers on abortion-related deaths cannot be meaningfully compared to maternal mortality rates.

A Passion to Serve, 2011
A Passion to Serve: The new report includes updated data from 2010 to quantify the positive impact that PRCs are making upon the local and national community. With statistics and real-life anecdotes, this report records the development of the three major pregnancy resource networks: Care Net, Heartbeat International, and the National Institute of Family and Life Advocates (NIFLA). It also shows how this vital pregnancy help movement continues to flourish and offer a vast array of pregnancy and sexuality-related services, education, support, and outreach .
PRCs fill a dire need by offering abortion alternatives to women (and men) facing an unexpected pregnancy. In 2010, PRCs served over 2.3 million people with pregnancy assistance, abstinence counseling and education, community outreach programs and referrals, and public health linkages. A conservative estimate of community cost savings for these services during 2010 is over $100 million.

Peoria abortion clinic inspection reveals violations - Peoria, IL - pjstar.com: While two ladies with a baby in a stroller stood outside the building praying Wednesday, Margaret Van Duyn was inside National Health Care Services, pulling out notebook after notebook, thick loose-leaf binders with titles like "OSHA Regulations," "Tissue Report" and "Post-Abortion Callback."
Combined, the notebooks represent the thousands of pages state health inspectors pored over one day last June when Peoria's only abortion clinic underwent its first health and safety inspection in more than a decade.
Inspectors uncovered dozens of violations, many of them related to documentation and record-keeping, though an Illinois Department of Public Health spokeswoman described several as "serious." All of the local clinic's problems were corrected by October.

Google's ad team in Mexico approved the site, so U.S. consumers searching for "RU 486" would see an ad for the site. Google ad executives allowed the agents to add the phrase "no prescription needed."
Days later, federal agents added links to buy the drugs directly. Such sales broke U.S. laws prohibiting the sale of drugs from outside the country and without a prescription.

Urge Congress to end the torment of unborn babies in the Nation's Capital!
National Right to Life: Did you know that in our nation's capital, unborn children daily are subjected to terribly painful deaths, even during the sixth and seventh months of pregnancy, or even later? Did you know that these practices are perfectly legal -- because in the District of Columbia, abortion is now legal at any point in pregnancy, for any reason, as long as someone is willing to pay the abortionist for the gruesome "service"?
One abortion "clinic," situated not far from the Capitol Mall and the White House, openly advertises abortion on demand up to the beginning of the seventh month of pregnancy -- payable by a credit card. ("Checks and money orders are not accepted.") This facility mentions the method used for its late abortions -- "dilatation and evacuation," also known as "dilation and evacuation" or "D&E." However, they do not explain that in a D&E -- shown in this medical illustration -- the abortionist grasps the little arms and legs of the well-developed unborn baby and literally tears them off, one by one, by brute manual force.
Another abortionist advertises abortions "in Washington, D.C.," even in the seventh and eighth months. He describes using a different method -- employing ultrasound while thrusting a needle into the heart of the unborn child, and then injecting a lethal substance (either air, or a drug). This "service," he advises, is "not inexpensive," and that "payment can only be made by a bank electronic transfer."

Man Convicted of Killing Girlfriend Who Refused Abortion
Man Convicted, Killed Pregnant Girlfriend Refusing Abortion | LifeNews.com: In Broward County, Florida, a man has been convicted of two counts of murder for killing a pregnant woman and her unborn baby. The court determined that Edward Jermaine Babbs killed Stephanie Rabsatt by shooting her in the abdomen and head on Oct.1, 2009.
Rabsatt was almost 8 months pregnant with a son, who she had named Jayden. Babbs, who was the baby’s father, had been pressuring her to abort. Her refusal to have an abortion and the imminent birth of her son was what triggered the murder, according to police.

Woman died because she went to PP for preventive care
Abortion In Washington: Washington Planned Parenthood Was Sued for Botched Cancer Screening, Patient Died: AbortionInWashington obtained court records which show how a local woman died after going to Planned Parenthood in Federal Way, south of Seattle, for a pap smear. She died because she did, in fact, have cancer, and PP missed it. She sued Planned Parenthood, but it was too late; she passed away, at the age of just 34, of endocervical adenocarcinoma, which metastasized into her brain and liver because it went undiagnosed.

Pro-life laws and abortionists: beware the letter of the law
Pro-life laws and abortionists: beware the letter of the law | LifeSiteNews.com: In 1994 a law was enacted in Pennsylvania that required a pregnant mother scheduled for an abortion be offered information on the gestation and development of the growing baby she planned to abort, hear a description of the abortion and risks from a doctor, have an opportunity to have her questions answered, and wait 24 hours before having the abortion (and for minors to have the consent of one parent—but that’s a nugget for another time).

According to local media, the body of the unborn child was collected by police to be examined by forensics.
Editor: 10-25 weeks is quite a span. You'd think they could be a little more precise.

Doctors dispute study findings
LifeSiteNews: Pro-life doctors say that, because [the study on the relative safety of abortion and childbirth] fails to include the long-term adverse effects of abortions, the years-old claim that abortion’s mortality rate is lower misrepresents the overall effects of abortion on women versus bringing a child to term.
“[Abortion] is not safe when you look into the long term,” Dr. Mary Davenport, president of the American Association of Pro-Life OB/GYNs, told LifeSiteNews.com. “They were only talking about immediate death. If you do the math, there is a much higher rate of risk-taking behaviors,” including suicide attempts and substance abuse, said Davenport.
Microbiologist and bioethics commentator Gerard Nadal told LSN that such data fails to account for the physical damage often sustained by women during abortions, including damage to reproductive organs that has been strongly linked to subsequent pregnancy complications or even sterility. Meanwhile, he said, abortion’s link to increased risk of breast cancer, and childbirth’s protective effect against cancer, is ignored.
Another OB/GYN, Dr. Matt Phillips of CEC For Life, agreed, saying the study’s claim is “at least 20 years old” and based on skewed information. “You can make the numbers look any way you want to make them,” he said.

The mental toll of abortion
The mental toll of abortion: With abortion statistics alarmingly high in the United States, we live in a culture with an increasing number of post-abortive women struggling from the profound emotional and psychological consequences of abortion. . . . Science supports this sad reality.
In the fall, a meta-analysis was published in the prestigious British Journal of Psychiatry. The report was the most extensive of its kind to date -- the author looked at 22 published studies and data from more than 870,000 women. The results showed that women who have an abortion are at an 81 percent increased risk for mental health problems, including anxiety disorders, depression, drug abuse and suicidal behaviors. The study revealed the shocking statistic that close to 10 percent of all mental health problems in women can be directly attributed to abortion.

Abortion 14 Times Safer Than Giving Birth, Claims Study
Abortion Is 14 Times Safer Than Giving Birth, Claims Study: Having a legal abortion is up to 14 times safer than giving birth, a controversial new study claims. American researchers from the Columbia University Medical Center in New York, suggest that women are more likely to die during or after childbirth than from complications of an abortion.
Researchers came to this conclusion after studying data from a leading sexual and reproductive health research centre, the Guttmacher Institute, on live births, pregnancy and abortion-related deaths.
Researchers came to this conclusion after studying data from a leading sexual and reproductive health research centre, the Guttmacher Institute, on live births, pregnancy and abortion-related deaths.
Editor: That's like the pot being allowed to define "black."
At least the article gives Anthony Ozimic of the Society for the Protection of Unborn Children, the last word: "Whatever the merits or otherwise of this study and its authors’ conclusions, the fact remains that the Republic of Ireland, where abortion is banned, has one of the world’s best records on maternal health, better than the US or the UK where abortion is available easily. The key to saving pregnant women's lives, whether in the developed or developing world, are improvements in primary healthcare and specialist pregnancy care. Abortion neither treats conditions nor cures illness."

Louisiana responds to request for abortion files
The Advocate: On the eve of a massive march against abortion through downtown Baton Rouge streets, the state health chief promised Friday to enforce a legal requirement that physicians who perform pregnancy terminations properly fill out the mandatory forms.
. . . State Department of Health and Hospitals Secretary Bruce Greenstein on Friday met with representatives of 20 anti-abortion advocates who had filed public records requests seeking disclosure of about three decades worth of Reports of Induced Termination of Pregnancy.
Physicians are required by law to fill out a form for each procedure they perform. The reports are supposed to document 25 specific pieces of information about the woman and her pregnancy, how the procedure went and any complications.
Mike Johnson, a Shreveport lawyer, said the advocates he is helping suspect that many physicians over many years filled out the forms in advance and did not accurately portray what happened before, during and after the abortion. The state had either not noticed or ignored the improperly filed forms that are supposed to provide statistics used to set health-care policies, he said.
The goal of the public records requests was to press the Jindal administration to enforce the state law that levies penalties on physicians who fail to properly complete the forms, Johnson said.

IL cracks down on abortion clinics
An increased scrutiny of Illinois abortion clinics in the wake of revelations about a "house of horrors" in Philadelphia revealed that some facilities had gone up to 15 years without inspections, and two now have closed after regulators found health and safety violations. The renewed oversight by state regulators led to the permanent closure of a clinic in Rockford earlier this month, following the closing of a clinic in suburban Chicago last October, according to documents obtained by The Associated Press through a Freedom of Information Act request.
One of those facilities — the Women's Aid Clinic in Lincolnwood — closed when the owner decided to surrender its license rather than pay a $36,000 fine or endure an expensive legal fight with the state. The fine was for violations including the clinic's failure to perform CPR on a patient who died after a procedure. Its owner told the AP her clinic was safe and she felt victimized by the surprise inspection after 15 years.
While Illinois is working on the backlog of neglected inspections, the documents reviewed by the AP show that a few abortion clinics in the state still haven't been checked in more than a decade. One in Chicago hasn't been inspected in 16 years. Another in the suburb of Wood Dale was last inspected nearly 15 years ago.
State officials attribute the lag to a lack of funds and resources, noting that the state's 24 trained health inspectors are responsible for inspecting nearly 2,000 facilities.
. . . In 2011, Illinois inspectors visited all nine licensed abortion clinics that are defined as pregnancy termination centers, a category that limits them to first-trimester abortions and no other procedures. . . . The inspection sweep of the nine clinics didn't include other centers that perform more services than first-trimester abortions and are classified as ambulatory surgery centers. Anti-abortion groups said there are four such centers. . . . Illinois law doesn't specify how frequently either type of abortion clinic must be inspected. Both kinds must renew their licenses annually, but no inspection is required with that. . . . A third type of health facility providing abortions isn't licensed or inspected in Illinois. These clinics are considered to be similar to doctors' offices, which aren't licensed by the state, and the majority of their services aren't surgical procedures. Planned Parenthood clinics fall into this category.
. . . Sharon Levin, vice president of the National Abortion Federation, a standard-setting body for providers, said the Philadelphia case is unusual and shouldn't be used as a basis for a crackdown. State regulators should inspect abortion clinics as often as they do other similar medical facilities, Levin said, but 15 years between inspections is excessive. "We have clinical policy guidelines and we regularly inspect our members ..." she said, "but we would consider 15 years too long." ABC News/AP

A message to pro-choice advocates: Women are not fragile flowers! | LifeSiteNews.com: Canadian women are intelligent, bright and sensible. We do not need you to protect us from the realities of abortion or shield us from the potential risks associated with undergoing the “medical procedure.” You claim to be challenging the work and messages of crisis pregnancy centres and pro-life groups in the name of women’s “rights,” but frankly I’d appreciate it if you would take the time to care about our health. And by care, I mean something more substantial than indiscriminately throwing around the terms “back alley” and “clothes hanger” every time someone questions the ‘unquestionable’ benefits of abortion for Canadian women.

Sex determination possible at five weeks after conception
BioNews - Sex determination possible at five weeks after conception: A test has been developed to determine the sex of an embryo from only five weeks old. In the UK current tests can only determine sex from 11 weeks after conception and as they are invasive, risk causing miscarriage. The new test, which was developed by scientists at the Kwan Dong University School of Medicine, Seoul, South Korea, relies on a blood sample from the mother and therefore carries no risk to the child.

"Throughput" is a term that comes from high volume manufacturing operations, which refers to the amount of material that is processed within a given amount of time, or in the case of computers, the number of operations that are performed within a set time interval.
The question arises because of the great differences we observed in the annual caseloads for the various types of abortion providers.

Britain OKs Television Ads For Abortion Clinics | Fox News: The Broadcast Committee of Advertising Practice says there is no justification for barring private clinics that offer post-pregnancy services, including abortions, from advertising on television.
Nonprofit post-pregnancy services are already allowed to advertise on television, and their for-profit counterparts are allowed to advertise in all other media.
Conservative lawmaker Nadine Dories said the move would desensitize people to the seriousness of getting a termination.
But committee spokesman Matt Wilson said the new rules would not allow companies to say: "Come to us to get an abortion." He said clinics would have to promote an "array of services."

Obama Celebrates Roe vs. Wade Decision
LifeNews: On Sunday, President Barack Obama released a statement celebrating the Roe vs. Wade Supreme Court decision that allowed for 54 million abortions. The decision, handed down on January 22, 1973, overturned pro-life laws offering protection for unborn children in most states across the country, and made abortions legal and virtually unlimited.The statement Obama released says:
As we mark the 39th anniversary of Roe v. Wade, we must remember that this Supreme Court decision not only protects a woman’s health and reproductive freedom, but also affirms a broader principle: that government should not intrude on private family matters. I remain committed to protecting a woman’s right to choose and this fundamental constitutional right. While this is a sensitive and often divisive issue- no matter what our views, we must stay united in our determination to prevent unintended pregnancies, support pregnant woman and mothers, reduce the need for abortion, encourage healthy relationships, and promote adoption. And as we remember this historic anniversary, we must also continue our efforts to ensure that our daughters have the same rights, freedoms, and opportunities as our sons to fulfill their dreams.

The likelihood of having cardiovascular disease in the presence of a positive HPV DNA was twice that of HPV DNA negative women, even after controlling for other factors such as blood pressure, medical conditions, health/sex behaviors, cardiovascular risk burden and management. In fact the likelihood of having a cardiovascular disease when positive for the cancer causing HPV types was close to three times that seen in HPV negative women.

We will be open to immediate correction if something stated as fact is proven to be either badly referenced or actually false. Opinions, where presented, will be quoted as such. Various perspectives will be covered but will not be endorsed by this website. We want people on all sides of these debate to be able to come to us for truth. As once said, the truth will set us free."

Superheroes and peanuts | LifeSiteNews.com: "Here’s what makes my birth mother a real, true mother . . . and my hero: She didn’t do what was best for herself . . . she did what was best for her child. She stood up and walked out of an abortion clinic. . . . She had to find a place to live, had to find her own support system, had to deal with very big issues on her own. But, she did this for me."

Congressmen support FDA protocol for abortion pill :: Catholic News Agency (CNA): Nearly 20 members of Congress voiced their support for an Ohio law regulating the use of the abortion drug RU-486 in compliance with U.S. Food and Drug Administration protocol.

Roe v. Wade and the dishonest industry it spawned
Roe v. Wade and the dishonest industry it spawned - The Washington Post: Abortion provider Merle Hoffman called a news conference at the National Press Club on Tuesday morning to announce the results of an alarming new study she commissioned:
Abortion rates have exploded since the economic collapse, she warned, as nearly three-quarters of women ending their pregnancies say they simply can’t afford to have a baby. Hoffman expanded on that trend to forecast a “dim future” for women if a Republican wins the White House: a world of abortion “slave states” and “underground railroads” and “pre-Roe reality.”
There was just one problem with this hysteria: The data in the study she presented were from 2008 — before the impact of the recession was felt. . . .
If the “choice” rally participants really wanted to preserve legal abortion, they’d be wise to drop the sky-is-falling warnings about Roe and to acknowledge that the other side, and most Americans, have legitimate concerns. Not every compromise means a slippery slope to the back alley.

But this is no time for reason; this is time for collecting donations. At the Press Club, abortion provider Hoffman gave a full-throated defense of her own abortion (“I had committed myself to my work” and didn’t want to be “diverted”), coupled with dire warnings about the future of legal abortion (“relentless attacks . . . will be impossible”). Hoffman likened her defense of the procedure to Martin Luther’s 95 Theses. “Abortion is a life-affirming act,” she said, and “abortion is often the most moral choice.”

CTV sting operation tries to catch crisis pregnancy centre giving misinformation | LifeSiteNews.com: On December 15th, 2011, CTV News in British Columbia launched a sting operation against the South Fraser Pregnancy Options Centre in Surrey, BC, with the what Executive Director Laura Lansink said was “the hope that our peer-counselor would give false or biased information.”

Jon Woodward of CTV News called the Centre, saying that he had received a ‘complaint’ from a client who believed the Centre had given her false medical information regarding the risks of abortion.
In a subsequent phone call he admitted this person had been sent from CTV News to the Centre with a hidden camera with the intent of exposing the organization for providing supposedly false information.

Mexican prosecutors ordered to track number of women imprisoned for abortio
Mexican prosecutors ordered to track number of women in Mexico imprisoned for abortion | LifeSiteNews.com: The effort to record the number of women incarcerated for killing their unborn children represents a new phase in a growing consensus in the country in favor of eliminating criminal penalties for abortions.
The trend against imprisonment was given a strong impetus when pro-abortion groups began to publicize the cases of several women imprisoned in the state of Guanajuato for having had “spontaneous abortions.”
Although the women had all given birth in the third trimester and had been convicted of infanticide, the murder of their newborn children, the country’s media repeated the claim that the women had been imprisoned “for abortion.” The state’s governor soon capitulated to demands for their release.

Decision blasts judge’s order to force abortion
Decision blasts judge’s order to force abortion - BostonHerald.com: In a December hearing, the Department of Mental Health applied for temporary guardianship for the parents of the 32-year-old woman — referred to as “Mary Moe” — to let them consent to an abortion for their daughter, who already had one child currently in their care.
Harms approved guardianship, ruling Moe could be “‘coaxed, bribed, or even enticed ... by ruse’ into a hospital where she would be sedated and an abortion performed,” the appellate ruling states. “Additionally ... and without notice, the judge directed that any medical facility that performed the abortion also sterilize Moe at the same time to avoid this painful situation from recurring.”
The decision notes that Moe, when asked whether she would have an abortion, told Harms she “wouldn’t do that,” but that based on her “substantial delusional beliefs,” Harms found Moe incompetent to make a decision.

Concealing fetus sex could curb abortion trend
Concealing fetus sex could curb abortion trend: CMAJ editional: An editorial in the Canadian Medical Association Journal is calling for doctors performing prenatal ultrasounds to conceal the sex of the baby for the first 30 weeks, to curb a trend toward "female feticide" in the Asian community.
While reaction to the idea of withholding such information from parents has been mixed, there appears to be broad agreement that the practice of female feticide should be eliminated."
