Abortionist admits, ‘most women having abortions are not raped’
LifeSiteNews: Shortly before controversy erupted over Congressman Todd Akin’s remarks on abortion in cases of rape, an abortionist bluntly admitted that “most women having abortions are not raped.” D.C. abortionist Willie Parker was responding to an article on the ‘Advancing new standards in reproductive health’ blog of the University of California, San Fransico.
Author Tray Weitz had critiqued the approach of advocates for abortion of using hard cases to make the case for legal abortion. She suggested rather an approach that would validate abortion whatever the circumstances – a ‘rights’-based approach. Parker notes that when abortion “advocates have sought stories from me to make the case for abortion, it has always been a request for tragic circumstances, the stories felt to be the most likely ones to move opinion. The reality is that that is not the typical patient I see, as most women having abortions are not raped or are not carrying a lethally flawed fetus.”

National Community Baby Shower Day
National Community Baby Shower Day | Pregnant On Campus: Participate in the 2012 National Community Baby Shower Day, September 28-30th, to help provide resources for pregnant and parenting mothers on your campus and in your community! "We are hoping at least 100 pro life campus groups to participate in order to help women across our country! Register your group today!"
This national day was inspired by the Pro-Life Aggies group at Texas A&M University when they hosted a “Community Baby Shower” this spring, asking shoppers of a local store to purchase diapers, wipes, formula, and baby items to give to the group so they could, in turn, donate them to a local resource center for young parents. After the Baby Shower this April, Pro-Life Aggies was able to donate over $700 in cash and truckloads of baby items! Because it was so successful, they have decided to partner with Students for Life of America and Stand True to make the “Community Baby Shower” a national movement to support pregnancy resource centers.

Georgia abortion clinic has violated regs AND waivers for two decades
Stop the madness: Georgia abortion clinic has violated regs AND waivers for two decades | LifeSiteNews.com: In 1994, the Georgia State Planning Agency notified the architect designing Atlanta Women’s Medical Center in Atlanta, Georgia, that plans for its two-story late-term abortion clinic needed to include an elevator. The clinic’s owner, HUMEDCO Corporation, which runs a chain of three abortion clinics, claimed it would be too expensive to add an elevator and requested a waiver.
The Georgia Department of Human Services granted the waiver, through August 31, 2005. It went on to grant another waiver, through August 31, 2012. The terms in both cases were that AWMC had to notify prospective patients of the stairs, escort recovering patients down the stairs, and also notify 911 operators that there was no elevator in the event of an emergency.
The clinic was recently found to be not in compliance, and yet it has not been shut down.

Woman Conceived in Rape Responds to Akin Abortion Controversy
Woman Conceived in Rape Responds to Akin Abortion Controversy | LifeNews.com: Rebecca Kiessling responded to the comments saying that the use of the term “legitimate rape” was unnecessary and improper and she gave her advice for how pro-life candidates can thoughtfully and articulately address the sensitive subject of rape and abortion. “If you are 100% pro-life with no rape exceptions, there is no need to question the veracity of a rape victims’ account, because you are against all abortions. It would not matter if a woman was not or not raped.”
Many political candidates stumble over the question of rape and abortion. Kiessling gives a three-step process in terms of how candidates should answer the question:

Many political candidates stumble over the question of rape and abortion. Kiessling gives a three-step process in terms of how candidates should answer the question:
1. The Supreme Court has said that the death penalty is cruel and unusual punishment for rapists and that rapists don’t deserve the death penalty. I don’t think the innocent child conceived in rape deserves the death penalty for the crimes of her father. It seems to me that is cruel and unusual punishment.
2. Rape victims are four times more likely to die within the next year after the abortion, with a higher rate of suicide, murder, drug overdose, etc.. As someone who really cares about rape victims, I want to protect them from the rapist, and from the abortion, and not the baby. A baby is not the worst thing that could ever happen to a rape victim — an abortion is. We need to educate the American public on the truth in this matter and not make public policy based on myth and misinformation.
3. Rape victims choose abortion at half the rate of the average unplanned pregnancy, which is over 50%. Only 15-25% of rape victims choose abortion, depending on the study. The majority of rape victims choose to raise her child — not “the rapist’s baby” — HER child.

Knoxville abortion clinic blames closure on new TN law
Knoxville abortion clinic blames closure on new TN law | The Tennessean | tennessean.com: A longtime Knoxville abortion provider closed its doors, blaming a newly enacted Tennessee law that requires doctors performing abortions to hold admitting privileges at local hospitals. The Volunteer Women’s Medical Clinic had two physicians providing abortions. One died after suffering a stroke within days of obtaining hospital privileges, said clinic director Deb Walsh. Another retired physician working with the clinic has not obtained privileges.
In a letter to supporters, Walsh wrote: "I've been able to keep the doors open and the phone staff working up until this week. We've been working on legal remedies, injunction, etc., but I was unable to bridge the financial gap of paying the monthly lease and operating expenses without knowing when we could resume seeing patients. I'm supposed to be out of the building (5000+sq.ft.) before Monday morning and I plan to somehow achieve that. I have visions of carting all the furniture and equipment across the street to the Crisis Pregnancy Center and piling it up on their lawn rather than going through the tedious task of finding a place for everything."
