- Planned Parenthood of Arizona is suing to prevent a state law regarding abortion drugs from taking effect:
The 2012 law now being implemented says any medication used to induce an abortion must be administered “in compliance with the protocol authorized by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration,” as outlined in the final labeling instructions for that drug.In the case of RU-486, that means only through the seventh week of pregnancy. But Planned Parenthood advertises that it uses it into the ninth week.
- At the Huffington Post, a University of Michigan student (who is a former Planned Parenthood intern) has a rambling, poorly edited piece regarding access to abortion which has a number of gems:
In fact, I did not know anyone who was pro-life growing up except for the one house in my town that posted pro-life lawn signs….Other laws were put in place to incite guilt and trickery like prohibiting doctors who work for a state-funded women’s health service from referring patients elsewhere for an abortion….
All of these circular mechanisms entrap women with financial and emotional burdens that actualize into limited freedom….

Katrina Pierson lost to Pete Sessions in TX but she garnered 42 percent of the vote, a very respectable showing a well funded incumbent. I am sure we will be hearing and seeing more of her.
