- At Talking Points Memo, former Planned Parenthood presidents Faye Wattleton and Gloria Feldt discuss the Komen controversy. Wattleton notes the AT&T battle, which she blames on them for going public with their defunding decision:
In reference to Komen, Feldt says, “Planned Parenthood has to play really hardball or else, I guarantee you, there will be no funding from Komen in a few years.” Over the past week, Planned Parenthood has emerged strong. But as Feldt warns, “you may win a battle, but you can lose the war too.”
- California authorities have charged a man with killing his pregnant wife and their unborn child:
Los Angeles County prosecutors say 41-year-old Hongxin Liu was charged Wednesday with the murder of 39-year-old Chenan Bao and her fetus. The charges include special circumstance allegations of multiple murder but prosecutors haven’t decided whether to seek the death penalty.
- Chelsea Handler talked about her abortion on Rosie O’Donnell’s show. At one point, she discussed how her parents talked her into an abortion but later said, “You should do whatever you want with your body and you shouldn’t let anyone tell you what to do.”
- A woman has come forward in the Maryland case of a stillborn child who was thrown in a dumpster:
Investigators said they hope an autopsy may resolve questions. It may take a month for results.“The woman is very cooperative and indicated the fetus was stillborn. To prove otherwise, that’s why an autopsy exam is done,” [Bel Air Police Chief Leo] Matrangola said.
- The Indiana Court of Appeals ruled that murder charges should standagainst a woman whose attempt at suicide eventually led to the death of her child after the suicide attempt:
[Bei Bei] Shuai apparently intended to commit suicide when she ingested rat poison Dec. 23, 2010, according to court documents. She also wrote in a suicide note that she was “taking this baby” with her, the documents said.A friend learned Shuai had ingested rat poison and drove her to a hospital. The 33-week-old fetus, a girl, was delivered by cesarean section but died Jan. 3, 2011.

Dear Rosie,
I suggest you also have a guest on that has been hurt by abortion.
Call me.
How ironic that the ad right before the clip of Chelsea and Rosie was a Luvs baby diaper commercial. :( So sad. Her child/children could have gone on to be gifted at comedy.
Carla,
Methinks the lady doth protest too much.
I think Ms. Handler HAS been injured by abortion.
She seems very injured to me, and always slutshames herself.
yeah i think handler is hurting. her pain is hidden by her laughter. in growing through Christ i dont mind saying that i used to have a secret contempt and some true hate for women who had told me they had abortions. now i realize we must forgive them if we want to be forgiven. what were MY sins? i wasnt any better. my heart has softened as i never realized years ago how painful abortion was. ive maintained long term relationships with post abortive women and years later i see their pain.
actually it sounds like handlers parents were the selfish people here. they would rather see their grandchild dead than help her? wow! chelsea is loaded and i do watch her show at times. she has pets and she makes no bones about her excessive drinking as well as bedding down with rapper 50 cent and her poor body image. sounds like shes got some self esteem issues to boot.
Dear Rosie,
I suggest your next guest be a woman that has been hurt by abortion, acknowledged the death of her child, repented, and found abortion recovery.
Call me.
i know rosie lost her mom to cancer as did madonna. both as little girls. the 2 became friends. rosie adopted kids ( cant recall how many ) and i know she is pro choice as madonna had 11 abortions. i pray that God will soften rosies heart and although madonna saw an ultrasound of lourdes and stated ” it looked like my baby was tap dancing ” madonna remains pro choice. i pray that both women will repent and eventually have a change of heart mind and soul.
Is there no end to the supply of self absorbed stollywood harlots ?
(And the need to be validated by the likes of an angry lesbian like R O’D. ???)
Sadly, Mike, most of these celebs are narcissists. I write most, because I believe there are pockets of goodness in there.
Tebow, baby!
actually i was just thinking this is odd that these 2 sat down together. on her show one time handler once told one of her male comedian guests ” you look like rosie odonnell” he replied ” thanks ” as the audience roared. handler cracked back ” thats never anything you should be thanking anyone for.”
