• The Ottawa Citizen reports that Norman Barwin, a leading abortion advocate in Canada, has had his medical license revoked for 2 months for medical misconduct after he admitted to inseminating 3 women with the incorrect sperm. Barwin has also agreed to end his fertility practice. Before settling lawsuits, the families believed Barwin may have used his own sperm:
  

  As part of his plea bargain, Barwin agreed that he inseminated three women with the wrong sperm, but according to his lawyer Karen Hamway, he was unsure how the errors happened….

  “There must have been some type of human error,” she said, as Barwin’s victims listened from the back of the small hearing room. “He cannot explain how the error occurred.”…

  He is past-president of the Canadian Fertility Society, the Planned Parenthood Federation of Canada and Planned Parenthood Ottawa.

There is indeed a gender divide on the abortion debate in Britain…. [O]f the 37% of Britons who favoured a lowering of the 24 week limit (34% supported the status quo) the majority were women. In total, twice as many women as men (49% as opposed to 24%) wanted to see a lower limit. There […]

As other commentators have observed, such images should not be suppressed from the public consciousness any more than pictures of famine or the reality of war. If we cannot face the pictures, how can we conceive of endorsing the reality? I have no doubt that the publication of the photographs of the victims of Auschwitz […]

• Wesley J. Smith notes that the Democratic Party’s abortion platform is extreme, even for the majority of Democrats:
  

  While solid majorities of Democrats back some limitations on abortion — 59 percent would ban partial-birth abortions, for example, and 60 percent endorse a mandatory waiting period — the official position of their party is that even common-sense restrictions are unthinkable….

  If Obamacare remains in effect, eventually Congress will revoke the abortion restrictions currently in the law. Then, we’ll see a “Free Abortion Rule,” patterned after the Free Birth Control Rule.

by Daniel Blackman of the Society for the Protection of Unborn Children It has been almost two decades since British pro-lifers tried to shut down an abortion centre. And never on this scale. But now Christians, Muslims, neighbors, and  building tenants have united to protest the secret opening of a British Pregnancy Advisory Service abortion […]

by JivinJ, host of the blog, JivinJehoshaphat Britain is now embroiled in an abortion controversy. Some members of parliament want a conscience vote on legislation to require abortion counseling be performed by organizations who don’t perform abortions. Now, Nadine Dorries, the MP behind the legislation, claims there’s a covert whipping operation underway as Prime Minister […]

Forget the moral rights and wrongs. Forget, too, talk of a woman’s right vs a baby’s right. Britons should see abortion as a consumer issue…. Until now, organisations that provide terminations were allowed to counsel women who sought advice before their abortion. These organisations are sometimes called “abortion charities”, because they offer women abortions free […]
