  • Abortionist LeRoy Carhart is apparently considered a “rock star” to some individuals who work in abortion clinics. Here’s one of his fawning fans at the Abortioneers blog:

    • This lovely fall day didn’t seem like it could get much better until I got to actually talk with one of our rock stars. One of our celebrity doctors. Oh, how I swooned! Have you seen that commercial where they show the co-inventor of the flash drive walking down an office corridor, people in business attire are falling all over each other and wanting autographs, and they say something like “our rock stars aren’t like your rock stars”?? Okay, seriously: it was like that. I felt privileged and honored (I am not someone who gets all worried about titles and stuff) to speak to one of our super heroes: Dr. Carhart. And yes: he’s super nice. Are you jealous?

    Their rock stars certainly aren’t like our rock stars. I find it hard to swoon over someone responsible for the deaths of countless unborn children and Christin Gilbert, a young pregnant mother with Down syndrome.

  • A PA teen has pleaded guilty to attempted 3rd-degree murder and aggravated assault after unsuccessfully attempting to abort his child by giving his girlfriend a drink spiked with a cow hormone.
  • U.S. News and World Report has an interesting article on experiments where rats snorted adult stem cells and the stem cells quickly traveled to the brain…

    • The researchers had mice sniff tiny droplets containing adult stem cells from rats. An hour later, rat stem cells were clearly visible in the mice’s brains. To make sure the ability to penetrate the brain wasn’t limited just to those cells, they also had rats snort a 2nd type of cells, from human brain tumors. These cells also penetrated the brain within an hour.

  • A Catholic magazine in Poland which spoke out against a woman who wanted an abortion has been ordered by a Polish court to pay the woman $11k for speaking against her actions:

    • Tysiac has become a symbol for the abortion rights movement because she challenged Poland’s ban on abortion with the European Court of Human Rights. In 2007, that court ordered Poland to pay her damages of 25k euros (nearly $37k) because doctors refused to let her terminate her pregnancy despite serious risk to her eyesight.
    After giving birth, her eyesight deteriorated considerably due to a retinal hemorrhage and doctors declared her significantly disabled.
    Following the ruling, the editor of Gosc Niedzielny (Sunday Visitor), Rev. Marek Gancarczyk, wrote: “We live in a world where a mother receives an award for very much wanting to kill her child, but not being allowed to do so.”

  • Wesley Smith explains the UK Dept. of Public Prosecution’s assisted suicide decriminalization guidelines:

    • In other words, if a despairing mother had help with suicide because her 18-year-old was run over by a bus, the policy states that punishing the crime would be in the public interest. But if the mother – or the young man’s best friend for that matter – assists his suicide because he has quadriplegia caused by the bus accident – it may not be in the public interest to prosecute that assisted suicide. Thus, this official document creates an explicitly invidiously discriminatory public policy that holds the lives of people who are healthy and able bodied as having greater value – and hence, are more worthy of protecting – than the lives of people with serious disabilities or the dying. That’s an astonishing abandonment of the most weak and vulnerable in society.

  • Nat Hentoff covers a dangerous provision in the Baucus health care bill which would penalize 10% of doctors with Medicare patients:

    • During the continuous, extensive coverage of this proposed legislation, there has been only very limited mention – and none I’ve seen in the mainstream press – of a section that penalizes doctors for Medicare patients who, for at least 5 years (from 2015 to 2020), authorize total treatments that wind up in the top 10% of national annual Medicare costs per patient.
    The 1 in 10 Medicare doctors who spend beyond this limit will themselves lose 5% of their own total Medicare reimbursements. Considering the already low rates Medicare doctors get – and the president pledges they will get lower – this could be a heavy penalty.

  • Pro-life black ministers plan on endorsing Obama’s health care reform bills today:

    • The black leaders are expected to use careful language – echoing Obama’s abortion funding pledge while cautioning the White House against breaking its promise.
    “In accord with our commitment to Christian teaching, we wholeheartedly affirm the president’s position that medical costs related to the abortion of fetuses shall not be covered by healthcare plans funded by this initiative,” Blake will say today, according to an advance copy of his remarks.
