• The Sunshine State News covers National Right to Life’s convention.

• A judge has ordered Greg Fultz to remove the controversial billboard which formerly named his ex-girlfriend and claimed she had an abortion.
• A Michigan Planned Parenthood affiliate is suing a business which is trying to uphold a deed restriction on a building in their parking lot which was purchased by PP:James Carey, a Cooley Law School professor representing the hotel owners, said that before buying their property, his clients asked the parcel be split and demanded land use be restricted by a covenant to restaurant, retail or office use.
