RH Reality Check’s Robin Marty thinks violations like not having a nurse in the operating room and abortionists not having privileges with licensed hospitals have “very little to do with the actual services that it provides.”

~ “There’s nothing more dangerous than a mom and her baby.”
Sarah McKinley, an Oklahoma teen mother, proved just that as she shot and killed an intruder in order to save her 3-month-old baby on New Year’s Eve.
On top of this, Sarah’s husband died of cancer on Christmas Day.
So why is there a national debate going on about Sarah asking 911 for approval to shoot this intruder who was coming at them with a 12-inch knife? Is there anyone who would dare say this act of protection was not justified?

In their roles as First Lady, Rosalynn Carter spotlighted mental illness as her cause du jour, Nancy Reagan picked “Just Say No” to drugs, Laura Bush promoted childhood literacy, and Michelle Obama is battling childhood obesity.
I’ve mused now and then how wild and wonderful it would be for a First Lady to use her four- to eight-year position of prominence to champion the sanctity of human life.
Speaking at right-to-life banquets, promoting pregnancy care centers, educating on the harm of abortion – a crazy good but impossible dream, I’ve thought.
Until now.
I felt like God didn’t bless me with a baby to abort her.
~ Miracle McIntosh, who was diagnosed with postpartum cardiomyopathy while pregnant with daughter Zoei (now age 3 and pictured above, with her mother) and was advised to abort, as quoted by Times Free Press, January 3.
The article states postpartum cardiomyopathy is “a rare disorder in which a weakened heart is diagnosed within the final month of pregnancy or within five months after delivery.”

On December 28 a Maryland grand jury indicted abortionists Steven Brigham and Nicola Riley on several counts of first and second degree murder of viable, preborn babies.
Authorities began investigating Brigham and Riley in August 2010 after the two behaved suspiciously when dumping an 18-yr-old victim of a botched abortion at a hospital near Brigham’s Elkton mill (pictured below left).
Found in that mill were 35 late-term aborted babies in a freezer, many believed viable, one full-term at 36 weeks, according to an AP report.
Brigham is now locked up in New Jersey and Brigham in Utah, both awaiting extradition.
Cecil County District Attorney Ellis Rollins told Reuters, “This is probably the first case that Maryland has ever seen with this factual scenario using this statute.”
Actually this is the first case the United States has ever seen that uses a fetal homicide law to charge abortionists with murder.

The cause of the fire remains under investigation. Local, state and federal agencies are helping with the investigation.
“We have not determined that it’s arson,” said Deborah Cox, a spokeswoman for the state fire marshal’s office. “The investigation is continuing in that regard.”
How is a family supposed to deal with the death of a child? Among some on the left, there’s an instinctive reaction against how the Santorums handled their loss because the logic of abortion rights denies that there is any loss worth troubling over. The Santorums accepted their grief, and when life presented them with another wrenching challenge, accepted it in turn.
Planned Parenthood of Arkansas and Eastern Oklahoma has joined Planned Parenthood of the Heartland to create an affiliate that spans four states and includes three centers in Tulsa and one in Broken Arrow.
No decision has been made regarding whether the merger will make abortion services available at the Tulsa and Broken Arrow centers, and there is no timeline to make such a decision, a spokeswoman said….
The merger, announced in June, brings together 34 centers in Nebraska, Iowa, Arkansas and eastern Oklahoma.
