- Another former employee of Planned Parenthood of Delaware is set to testify about the dangerous practices at their clinic:
Former manager Melody Meanor and two nurses said they will testify today at a legislative hearing in Wilmington that Planned Parenthood failed to inform as many as 200 women that they tested positive for gonorrhea and chlamydia, and failed to notify 87 women of results of their colposcopies. - Legislators in Tasmania’s Upper House are hearing testimony on a bill to legalize abortion up to 16 weeks.
- The city of Portland officials are looking into options to limit a group who have been protesting at a local abortion clinic:
Since last summer, 10 to 20 protesters have stood outside the clinic every Friday morning with pictures of aborted fetuses and pamphlets to discourage clients from choosing abortion. More recently, they have been showing up on Saturday mornings, too.City officials said in December they were looking into their legal options for limiting the protests, but the matter has not come before the council and the meeting Tuesday is seen by some as a possible first step in the process.
- Abortionist Nicola Riley (pictured left) has been allowed to keep her Utah medical license despite almost killing a woman in Maryland and at one point being charged with murder. All she has to do is write an essay:
Utah’s Physician Licensing Board ruled recently that Dr. Nicola Riley could keep her license so long as she writes an essay about what she learned from the 2010 incident, The Salt Lake Tribune reported….In August 2010, Riley performed an abortion at a clinic in Elkton, Md., however, the 18-year-old patient’s uterus ruptured. The young woman survived, but Maryland prosecutors got an indictment against her on murder and conspiracy charges.

“In August 2010, Riley performed an abortion at a clinic in Elkton, Md., however, the 18-year-old patient’s uterus ruptured. The young woman survived, but Maryland prosecutors got an indictment against her on murder and conspiracy charges.”
Well, I see that the abortion industry continues to attract the best and brightest.

Not only that JDC. The abortion industry thrives on black Americans. The most recent PP numbers of abortions performed on black teens needs to be a national concern for the black leadership. And they say that PP is all about “family planning.” Some planning, heh? My term for abortion: population control, too bad that some don’t realize that.

An essay on ‘what I learned’?!? Oh, well, why don’t we just try that with your run of the mill murderers and such?
“Mr. X, you have been found guilty of murder in the 1st degree. I hereby sentence you to write an essay on “What I learned from killing someone and getting away with it.”

Can’t wait to read that essay. I hope it becomes available to the public soon.
Nicola Riley’s troubled past does deeper than that. I can’t believe that Utah would really allow her to practice medicine.

I find it strange too MOJoanne, especially in light of the recent changes in the Utah abortion laws:
In Utah, the following restrictions on abortion were in effect as of May 1, 2013:
A woman must receive state-directed counseling that includes information designed to discourage her from having an abortion and then wait 72 hours before the procedure is provided. Counseling must be provided in person and must take place before the waiting period begins, thereby necessitating two separate trips to the facility.
Abortion is covered in private insurance policies only in cases of life endangerment, rape, incest, when her health is severely compromised or in cases of fetal impairment.
Health plans that will be offered in the state’s health exchange that will be established under the federal health care reform law can only cover abortion in cases when the woman’s life is endangered, her health is severely compromised, fetal impairment, rape or incest.
Abortion is covered in insurance policies for public employees only in cases of life endangerment, when her health is severely compromised, fetal impairment, rape or incest.
The parent of a minor must consent and be notified before an abortion is provided.
Public funding is available for abortion only in cases of life endangerment, rape, incest or when necessary to prevent long-lasting damage to the woman’s physical health.
Something informs me that this abortionist Nicola Riley, will have a very difficult time attracting “clients.”

Well, personally, I take issue with the idea that abortion is medicine at all.
