The Pro-Life Week in Review
Part Three of Three By Dave Andrusko There is a lot to read on Friday, both at TN&V and at National Right to Life News Today (www.nationalrighttolifenews.org), so I'll make this summary of the week's news right to the point.
First, let me thank those who write about any or all of the articles we ran outlining and summarizing NRLC's amazingly effective State Legislative Strategy Conference. NRLC is a driving force behind most state pro-life legislative proposals, so it served many purposes to have state lobbyists, executive directors, and legislative aides to come to hotel just outside Washington, DC to learn what are NRLC's priorities and how NRLC can help its 50 state affiliates. To take such two examples, www.nrlc.org/News_and_Views/Dec10/nv120910part2.html and www.nrlc.org/News_and_Views/Dec10/nv120810.html. Yesterday we reported on a VERY important case in Ohio involving the abortion on a 14-year-old girl at a Planned Parenthood clinic in 2004. After a long, tortuous journey through the legal system, it appears the girl and her family may get justice. The suit charges that the clinic broke the law by failing to get parental consent for their daughter's abortion, not reporting suspected child abuse to the authorities and not informing the girl of risks and alternatives (http://www.nrlc.org/News_and_Views/Dec10/nv120910.html). We devoted several articles this week to the concerted and very sophisticated pro-abortion campaign to use RU-486 much later in pregnancies and make it accessible to small areas--as well as developing nations (www.nrlc.org/News_and_Views/Dec10/nv120910part3.html). As always we brought you international news ( www.nrlc.org/NewsToday/ChileLife.html; www.nrlc.org/NewsToday/BelgiumWrongfulLife.html; and www.nrlc.org/News_and_Views/Dec10/nv120610part4.html). And, unfortunately, there is never any shortage of bad news about abortionists (www.nrlc.org/News_and_Views/Dec10/nv120610part3.html; www.nrlc.org/NewsToday/AbortionistReleased.html; and www.nrlc.org/NewsToday/AlaskaChallenge.html). Thanks for all your correspondence this week. Have a great weekend! |
