All the nation knows about Wendy Davis is that she is ignorant of the horrors of Kermit Gosnell, wears pink shoes, and filibustered legislation to save the innocent in Texas.

Abortion Barbie fits perfectly and I hope that moniker haunts her on the campaign trail. She is, after all, intent on building a national name for herself through abortion and pink shoes. I’m sure MSNBC will send her tampon earrings to go with the other accessories.

In an alleged attempt to win the Ramadan ratings war in Pakistan, prime-time TV show host Aamir Liaquat Hussain has given away at least two abandoned children – on the air – to childless couples during Islam’s holy month. His show seems like an unusual version of the 70’s game show here in America, Let’s Make a Deal – only this game show isn’t just giving away cars behind doors #1, 2, and 3. 

In last week’s episode Mr. Hussain told the studio audience, “This is the beautiful girl who was thrown on pile of garbage by somebody. See how beautiful and innocent she is.”

The head of a charity which rescues abandoned babies, Muhammad Ramzan Chhipa of the Chhipa Welfare Assocation, then handed the baby over to a childless couple, reported The Telegraph. The baby was handed over to Riaz-ud-din and his wife, who after 14 years of waiting and hoping (and refusal to seek a second wife), named the adopted baby girl Fatima.

Chhipa stated, “We have lots of babies that are just abandoned, left in the garbage or other dirty places…. Often we just find the bodies so our message that we make is to tell people to bring their babies to us, don’t just leave them.”

Ariel Castro got these women pregnant and would beat them causing them to miscarry. Kinda like how liberals beat off businesses until they have to abort their dreams.

And I’m sure, just like Ariel Castro, liberalism doesn’t see itself as a monster.

• Texas Senator Wendy Davis seems to think Kermit Gosnell and Douglas Karpen are the same abortionist. When asked by the Weekly Standard about Gosnell, she gave this response:
  

  I don’t know what happened in the Gosnell case. But I do know that it happened in an ambulatory surgical center. And in Texas changing our clinics to that standard obviously isn’t going to make a difference.

  Only Gosnell’s clinic was obviously not an ambulatory surgical center. But you know whose is? Texas abortionist Douglas Karpen – the same abortionist who was exposed for killing infants who survive abortion (just like Kermit Gosnell) and has been called the Texas Gosnell. Either Davis got the two confused or she isn’t aware they’re different people.

• The Irish Medicines Board has detained more than 250 abortion pills so far this year:
  

  The IMB, in conjunction with the Revenue’s Customs Service and gardaí, monitors and investigates instances of the illegal supply of such produces via the internet, “and actively enforces against suspected breaches of the law”, a spokeswoman said….

  A total of 259 tablets have been detained in 10 consignments since the start of 2013. Of these, 256 contained misoprostol and three mifepristone.

  Last year, 487 abortifacient tablets were seized, of which 471 contained misoprostol and 16 mifepristone, from 25 detentions. A total of 635 tablets were seized in 2011 from 28 detentions.

• The landlord of a building which will soon house a Sacramento abortion clinic made a deal with the clinic regarding how many abortions they would perform in a year because he “didn’t want them to turn into an abortion clinic”:
  

  He said the amount of Women’s Health Specialists’ business related to abortions is less than 5 percent.

  “It’s not some abortion clinic that’s cranking out abortions,” he said. “They provide all kind of health services. Ninety-five percent of their services are non-abortion-related.”

  Still, he said, he did negotiate with Women’s Health Specialists to place a “tight” restriction on the number of abortions that they could perform at the location. He declined, however, to specify the number.

  “I didn’t want them to turn into an abortion clinic,” he said. “I want to do a good job as a landlord. I’m surprised that anyone is concerned about this.”

• Kansans for Life points out that when the cameras stopped rolling, Planned Parenthood dramatically scaled back not only their rhetoric but their lawsuit against the newly-passed Pro-Life Protections Act. PP has changed its tune and is amending its original suit to:
  

  1. withdraw opposition to the statement “abortion terminates the life of a whole, separate, unique, living human being”;

  2. withdraw opposition to the information about the pain-capability of the unborn child; but

  3. retain opposition to a requirement that each clinic’s online home page feature a hyperlink to the state’s informed consent website.

• Live Action encourages pro-lifers to join various pro-life leaders this Thursday, August 8, at a March on the Media rally to denounce the media blackout on abortion. We have all seen the wall-to-wall coverage of other stories involving deaths, but when it comes to abortion, the same media turns a blind eye to it.

  Lila Rose of Live Action, Charmaine Yoest of Americans United for Life, and our own Jill Stanek will be among those at the rally in D.C., while others will be conducting a social media rally on Twitter.

• Life Training Institute uses the movie 42: The Jackie Robinson Story to explain why men in particular should involve themselves in the abortion debate.
• Big Blue Wave suggests the “big tent” is needed in the pro-life movement, so that people of differing faiths (or no faith) feel welcomed in protecting the preborn.
• Albert Mohler believes the U.S. fertility rate is taking “baby steps forward to 1.90 per woman in 2013, up slightly from 1.89 in 2012. Last year’s figure was the lowest recorded in 25 years.” He writes:
  

  As recent cultural discussions have made fully clear, Americans differ on the meaning of children. Not everyone sees children as gifts to be received with great joy. But no other response will do when thinking in accordance with what Scripture clearly reveals. While it is undoubtedly true that congregations offer a family-friendly context that supports parents and parenthood, that context is surely formed and the children in them nourished by the joy and thanksgiving of parents and the beliefs that the congregation holds and teaches.

  In other words, worldview matters.

• Clinic Quotes shares a statement from former abortion worker Jewels Green, who reveals how abortion clinics determine the age of aborted children:
  

  Tiny feet were measured beside me more times than I can count. Measuring tiny feet was how abortion facilities matched pre-abortion estimates of fetal age with the reality after death. The age determined by the measurement of the tiny feet was the age put on the forms that I completed for the state Department of Health abortion statistics.

When the creep slapping women during abortions accuses you of dysfunction, you are in pretty bad shape.

~ Kirsten Powers, responding to remarks made by former Planned Parenthood of Delaware abortionist Timothy Liveright, who says the facility was “disorganized, in disarray,” Washington Post, August 2.

Whistleblower nurse Jayne Mitchell-Werbrich has testified that Liveright “slapp[ed] a patient,” refused to properly sterilize equipment or wear sterilized gloves during abortions, and played “peek-a-boo” with patients, among other inappropriate behavior.

• Kirsten Powers has a column in the Washington Post on the Delaware Planned Parenthood whistleblowers:
  

  After [Joyce] Vasikonis and [Jayne] Mitchell-Werbrich aired their complaints at the first state Senate hearing in June, the abortion-rights Web site “RH Reality Check” said that, “The nurses’ allegations have not been substantiated by any other source.” How many sources are needed? What better “source” is there than two abortion-rights nurses who saw it first hand? Vasikonis told me, “I am a liberal, and I have been shocked that liberal Democrats, who I thought had supported women, would turn their backs on women’s health safety just to support abortion rights.”

  Yes, it is sad that the people who are always lecturing us about how they are the only ones who care about women ignored the pleas of their own employees. Until they went public, of course. Makes you wonder how many other clinics are operating like this.

• The New York Times is covering the fetal pain legislation in its typical manner today. I did find this quote by Nancy Northup (pictured left) of the Center for Reproductive Rights to be notable:
  

  The Supreme Court, including Justice Kennedy, has repeatedly affirmed viability as the point at which the state’s interest in protecting life outweighs a woman’s right to control her body, Ms. Northup noted.

  “There is no other line that is workable,” she said. “It is an appropriate line to draw.”

• Another North Carolina abortion clinic has failed its inspection. The North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services found the clinic wasn’t complying with 23 rules:
  

  In addition to other findings, the survey found the facility:

  • Failed to maintain anesthesia (nitrous oxide gas) delivery systems in good working condition, with torn masks and tubing held together with tape. This could lead to patients not receiving the intended dosage and risk patients not being fully sedated during surgical procedures, leading to pain and physical harm.

  • Failed to ensure emergency equipment had weekly checks to ensure the equipment was suitable for use in patient care and failed to ensure that emergency medicine wasn’t expired.

  • Failed to have a resuscitator available.

  • Failed to sweep and mop the operating room floor and failed to properly clean operating room beds.

  • Failed to have a director of nursing responsible and accountable for all nursing services.

  • Failed to have an agreement/contract with an anesthetist or anesthesiologist.

  • Failed to have an agreement/contract with a registered pharmacist to assure appropriate methods, procedures and controls for obtaining, dispensing, and administering drugs

  FEMCARE, Inc.’s last inspection was on January 16, 2007, a follow up inspection of a previous survey, which found the clinic in violation of personnel and quality assurance rules.
