Pro-life news brief 3-6-14

- A woman seeking to replace Alabama State Rep. Alvin Holmes responded to his comments in which he said white people would encourage abortion if their daughters were impregnated by black men:
“He said that being pro life was for white people, that’s not true. Pro life is loving babies whether they’re inside the womb or outside of the womb. Whether you’re black or white – it doesn’t have a color,” said Tijuanna Adetunji. - An accidental break room fire at Martin Haskell’s Indianapolis abortion clinic caused $30,000 worth of damage. While all patients had left, five clinics staffers were there at the time.
- The University of Georgia paper, the Red & Black, has a number of pictures showing pro-choice students attempting to cover up a recent pro-life display by Justice for All, which included images of abortion victims. One pro-choice student’s sign indicates she thinks legal abortion brought an end to women dying from unsafe abortions (pictured left; click to enlarge).
- Whole Woman’s Health is closing 2 clinics in Texas:
Whole Woman’s Health in Beaumont and McAllen will close after providing abortions in the areas for a decade. Amy Hagstrom Miller, president of Whole Woman’s Health, which operated five abortion clinics before the law went into effect, said the provision requiring physicians to have admitting privileges at a hospital within 30 miles of the clinic was proving the most problematic.Miller said hospitals near her McAllen clinic refused to grant her physicians’ applications for privileges. Some hospitals in the area require their privileged physicians to live nearby. Others require a current physician to co-sign applications for privileges, which many are unwilling to do for fear of being targeted or stigmatized.
In Beaumont, one 75-year-old physician secured privileges, but a second one could not, Miller said.

The pro-choice students at the University of GA seem shocked that the abortion images would make them feel nauseous – “for two hours” as one student claimed.
This is a NORMAL reaction to photos of human atrocity.
When I first saw graphic abortion images – on a video, no less – I was nauseated as well.
And you know, it’s interesting, because when I watch programs of surgical procedures like heart surgery, cancer surgery, or of obstetrical deliveries, I am not nauseated, and I’ll bet these students aren’t, either.
So, tell me, then… what’s the difference?
Which side of the debate is cruel? The one that shows pictures of dead babies while opposing their killing, or the one that opposes showing the pictures but defends their killing?

It’s one thing to have a counter-protest, but covering up the opposition’s signs? So much for free speech.
Congratulations to Texas! I hope a similar fate eventually befalls their remaining abortion clinics.

She sounds like she is a nice woman and a good candidate, but her opponent has already called her an “Uncle Tom? (sighs and shakes head . . .)
