• Accepting Abundance points out an abortion clinic advertising “gentle abortions” with “no pain” and “no memory.” The same clinic also advertises the reportedly “rare” late-term abortions up to 24 weeks, which is curious because usually businesses want to advertise that which is most in demand. Why advertise such a “rare” type of abortion – unless it isn’t quite so rare?

• A New York City man was convicted yesterday of killing his pregnant girlfriend:

  Cops previously said Derrick Redd, 38, of Jamaica admitted that he ‘hadn’t believed the child was his and urged Niasha Delain, 25, to have an abortion.

  Delain, a bank teller, was stabbed 20 to 30 times in her stomach and torso on Oct. 25, 2008, in her South Ozone Park apartment, according to the Queens district attorney’s office.

  The fetus was stabbed five times.

  New York doesn’t recognize the unborn child as a victim but according to the NY Daily News, Delain’s mother has started a campaign to change the law.

It’s true – I’m going to be a mummy!

It’s a coincidence, right?

After 26 years as CEO of Planned Parenthood Gulf Coast, Peter Durkin has announced he will retire in April 2012.

The timing works out well for Durkin to avoid publicly having to deal with a complaint filed by former PPGC employee Karen Reynolds alleging massive Medicaid fraud.

Reynolds lodged her complaint in July 2009, but it was under seal until this past March and is only just starting to get traction. On October 18 Judge Ron Clark denied PPGC’s request to stop the discovery process, which is now underway according to American Center for Law and Justice attorney Frank Manion, with whom I spoke.

• At the Prospect, E.J. Graff displays a typical rant from a pro-choicer completely uninformed about fetal development. This is embarrassing:

  [At 10 weeks] I see an embryo, the size of a pinkie, that couldn’t survive even in the most intensive NICU. It doesn’t have a working brain, internal organs, or lungs that could function under any circumstances. It’s a mush of rapidly dividing cells with enormous potential to be a human, if nothing intervenes, like a miscarriage or a D&C. But to me, that uninhabited scrunch of cells is no more human than an acorn is an oak tree. And so I don’t agree that “it’s barbaric to kill 1 million babies a year,” since I do not see a baby in that one ounce of tissue. I don’t think women who choose abortion have committed murder, or anything even close. I think they scraped out some extra tissue that could have become babies but were not yet.

  This is what an unborn child looks like when he or she weighs about an ounce and is slightly longer than my pinkie. Not quite a “mush” or “uninhabited scrunch” of cells without a working brain or internal organs.

The blog was offline all day yesterday, I think for the longest span of time in my six years of blogging.

What happened was the server’s computer hard drive died, so my files had to be transferred to another hard drive.

Since I have so many archived files, this took awhile.  The first attempt failed because it was discovered I had a bunch of unnecessary saved back-ups that had to be deleted.

Thanks for your patience. It was comforting to learn many of you went through similar withdrawal pains as we did. You missed us, you really missed us!
