- In Britain, scientists have developed red blood cells from embryonic stem cell lines created from more than 100 embryos.
- SC authorities found the body of a 21-week-old child at the site where a man claimed to have been beaten and had his truck stolen after he pulled his pants down to have sex with a female passenger:
Deputies said they found the fetus near the area where the Tahoe had been parked, but they do not have a name of the woman who lost her child in the field. They do not know if the child was from the woman who initiated sexual advances on the Harleyville man. Deputies do not know if the assault and the fetus are connected in any way.
- A CA judge has awarded a girl $50k after her school forced her to remove a pro-life shirt:
According to the lawsuit, the student came to school on April 29, 2008, designated as National Pro-Life T-Shirt Day, wearing a shirt which showed 2 photos of a developing fetus, following by a third panel in solid black. The shirt read “Abortion” at the top with the words “growing… growing… gone” underneath the photos.
School officials removed the girl from the cafeteria as she was about to eat breakfast. She was taken to the assistant principal’s office where she was told to remove the shirt and never wear it at the school again because it violated the dress code.
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.
If they require sex education in schools, forcing her to not wear the shirt makes no sense.
Some schools have rules against shirts with logos or words on them all together, if that were the case, she should have removed it. I would be interested to see what their actual rules were. We had a kid in my high school class suspended for dyeing his hair blue when there was no rule against it. He fought it, but the rule was in there for the next semester.
It’s not exactly that the court “awarded” her that much money. My understanding is that the school offered to settle out of court for $50,000, the student accepted, and the court approved the settlement. It was never tried on the merits (probably because the school knew it would lose).
