Virginia Knights of Columbus Go Wobbly on Abortion

The Knights of Columbus have been Catholic stalwarts in the Culture Wars. Anybody who has witnessed the annual March for Life in Washington DC will remember their fluttering banners at the head of columns of solemn Knights where charter buses disgorged the faithful. Well, that was then, and this is now. Even the Pope appears to have wearied of the anti-abortion struggle.  https://www.lifesitenews.com/news/knights-of-columbus-council-decides-to-honor-virginias-pro-abortion-governo

Texas Abortionist Keeps Ambulances Busy

This article by anti-abortion activist Cheryl Sullenger reports that one abortion clinic in Houston has called the ambulance four times in the past month.  The public policy implications are fairly obvious here, but four ambulances in a month should also attract the attention of Personal Injury attorneys.  A Planned Parenthood franchise is not a fly-by-night business, despite the apparent defects of this one. It is almost certainly fully covered by professional liability insurance. 

Safety Hazard: Houston Planned Parenthood Sends Four Patients to the ER in Less Than 30 Days

March 3, 2015 By Operation Rescue 2 Comments

By Cheryl Sullenger

Houston, TX — The Houston Coalition for Life is reporting that in less than 30 days, there have been four women rushed to a local hospital by ambulance from the Planned Parenthood Center for Choice, located at 4600 Gulf Freeway in Houston, Texas.

Operation Rescue earlier reported that one documented medical emergency took place at this Planned Parenthood facility on February 6, 2015.

Sidewalk counselors have now reported that a previous incident took place on Saturday, January 31, 2015.

Since then, ambulances were photographed at Planned Parenthood abortion clinic in Houston on February 25th and 26th.

“That makes 4 in less than 30 days!” noted a Houston Coalition for Life in a February 26th Facebook posting. “If you saw a ‘clinic’ with an ambulance leaving on average once a week, would you trust their medical practices?”

Not much is known about the condition of the four women. Operation Rescue is seeking the 911 records related to these four incidents, which may shed additional light on what happened and the dangers that exist at this Planned Parenthood facility.

“Even though this Planned Parenthood abortion clinic is licensed as an Ambulatory Surgical Center, it is evident that safety problems still exist there. It is imperative that the Texas Department of Health take seriously complaints about this facility and act to shut it down,” said Operation Rescue President Troy Newman.

Operation Rescue has documented at least five other medical emergencies at this Houston Planned Parenthood facility, making nine in all over the past three years. However, many more could have occurred outside the presence of pro-life activists who document these incidents.

Operation Rescue has also reported that court records indicate that as many as 1,000 women are hospitalized in Texas each year due to abortion complications.

A new abortion clinic licensing law known as HB2 has helped close 20 of the worst offending abortion facilities in Texas over the past two years.

“It is obvious that Texas has a long way to go to fully protect women from shoddy abortion practices,” said Newman.

Whatever Happened to the Stem Cell Connection to Autism?

Vaccines made with fetal cells causing autism?

An EPA study published February 2010 in Environmental Science & Technology found that a marked increase in the incidence of autism began in 1988.

"Although the debate about the nature of increasing autism continues, the potential for this increase to be real and involve exogenous environmental stressors exists."

According to that month's Sound Choice Pharmaceutical Institute Newsletter, (1988) was the year that the 2nd dose of the MMR vaccine was added to the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices vaccine recommendations.

SCPI found 3 "change points" in autism trends - 1981, 1988, and 1995.

The conventional wisdom, that the mercury in vaccines caused autism, has been well debunked.

Vaccines that can be associated with the autism trend change points never contained mercury, and some animal-produced vaccines used universally in the US before 1979 contained levels of mercury as high, if not higher, than current levels.

In light of the EPA's findings, American Life League joined SCPI in calling for a Fair Labeling and Informed Consent Act.

The conspiracy theorist in me wonders if the same ideological culprits who have dismissed and suppressed the abortion-breast cancer link are also involved here.

Right to Life of Michigan posted two easy-to-read charts listing vaccines made with aborted fetal stem cell lines, and their moral and potentially safer alternatives.

That virus-laden DNA of aborted babies could be wreaking havoc on the DNA of healthy children is completely plausible.

911 Call for Ambulance is Not Uncommon

Safe and Legal? Abortion practice typically does not attract the cream of the medical profession. It's rare to see young physicians, fresh from med school and still ambitious, in this line of work.  More often a doctor comes to abortion at mid-career after a disappointing start.  Inevitably, there are calls to the EMS system to evacuate victims from their premises. Here is a recent 911 call from a Florida clinic. http://myemail.constantcontact.com/911-Call-from-Florida-Abortion-Clinic---We-Can-t-Stop-the-Bleeding-.html?soid=1000844617017&aid=P9ZuZi_kVTs
