- The state of Texas can begin enforcing their ultrasound law but Judge Sam Sparks isn’t happy about it:
U.S. District Judge Sam Sparks said he was forced to follow the federal appellate court’s ruling last month that ordered its immediate enforcement.
Sparks said his action on Monday came out of deference to the higher court. But he criticized the appellate court for “making puppets out of doctors” and stripping them of rights to freedom of speech under the U.S. Constitution’s First Amendment.
- Robert George and Carter Snead on Planned Parenthood’s hostages:
It is easy to see why Komen might not wish to be associated with Planned Parenthood. Fighting breast cancer is something all Americans can and do agree on; promoting and performing abortions is something that divides us bitterly.
While Planned Parenthood’s target in the Komen case was new, its tactics are not. In the past two years, we have seen the abortion giant (and the politicians it funds) hold for ransom a diverse array of hostages.

Jill Stanek is a nurse turned speaker, columnist and blogger, a national figure in the effort to protect both preborn and postborn innocent human life.
That Judge Sparks would complain that the appellate court is “making puppets out of doctors” is just beyond the pale. He cannot look in the mirror without seeing a puppet of the abortion lobby.
