Thursday, June 7, 2012 Dr. Lanfranchi: The perilous pill By Rita Diller Dr. Angela Lanfranchi is an expert on the perils of the pill. Her first patient was a young woman who had a stroke because of pill usage and as a result was hemiplegic (paralyzed on one side of her body). Now a breast surgeon, Dr. Lanfranchi spends her days operating on cancerous breasts. Many of her patients have been duped by Planned Parenthood and its cohorts into believing that the birth control pill is the ultimate good, and that any risks that accompany it are so small as to be inconsequential.

HEADLINES Doctor warns of 'buried' link between abortion, later preterm birth EWTN News A doctor who specializes in maternal-fetal medicine chided the medical community for failing to acknowledge evidence of a connection between abortion and later preterm birth. "Continued efforts to deny the significant risk of preterm birth after only a single abortion are dishonest, disingenuous, and disrespectful," said Dr. Byron C. Calhoun, professor and vice-chair of the Obstetrics and Gynecology department at the West Virginia University-Charleston. He warned that "the link between preterm birth and abortion has been buried in medical literature," with disastrous results for women and their children.   The Telegraph A team has been able to predict the whole genetic code of a fetus by taking a blood sample from a woman who was 18 weeks pregnant, and a swab of saliva from the father. They believe that, in time, the test will become widely available, enabling doctors to screen unborn babies for some 3,500 genetic disorders. However, they warned it raised "many ethical questions" because the results could be used as a basis for abortion. These concerns were last night amplified by pro-life campaigners, who said widespread use of such a test would "inevitably lead to more abortions."   Unborn babies could be tested for 3,500 genetic faults Anatomy of a lie: Kansas court's scheme to eliminate Planned Parenthood prosecutor revealed LifeSiteNews The man who became the first prosecutor in America to take on Planned Parenthood in court has revealed new details in the astonishing story of how the Kansas Supreme Court colluded with prosecutors and the Kathleen Sebelius administration to halt his investigation and turn the media against him, culminating in an effort to end his legal career. For those unfamiliar with the Phill Kline case, the recusal motion filed last month by lawyers for the former Kansas Attorney General deftly encapsulates how the investigator was vilified for allegedly violating "patient privacy" in the normal course of investigating child rape, which in turn brought him head to head with Planned Parenthood.
