Thank God Hippocrates Was Pagan
By Jennifer Lahl

First, do no harm. This is one of the basic tenets of the Hippocratic Oath that all doctors take. They promise to harm no one, to take care of all. So we put our trust in them to do as they promise. But are some doctors finding a way to get around this? Today's guest commentary addresses this and stresses that all human beings must be valued and cared for because all human life is sacred.

State yanks criminal case against abortionists
World Net Daily
The last 32 criminal charges against Planned Parenthood that were filed as part of a larger case brought by former Kansas Attorney General Phill Kline were dropped by prosecutors [Friday], prompting outrage and a demand from a pro-life organization for the resignation of the district attorney who took over the prosecution. Staff members of Operation Rescue say they have uncovered documentation revealing the records supposedly "destroyed" earlier by the state - and cited as the reason for the dismissal of a series of 49 counts, including 23 felonies - were not, in fact, destroyed.  

Abortion doc caught offering illegal late-term abortions
DFW Catholic
On August 11, post-abortive pro-life advocate Kelly Clinger wrote an article that included a picture of a woman pregnant with 20 week old twins at the Orlando Women's Center abortion business in Florida. The woman went inside to have her twin babies killed by abortion. Abortionist James Pendergraft owns the Orlando Women's Center as well as four other abortion businesses. Pendergraft also runs the website, LateTermAbortion.net. This site contains information on how a person can set up a late-term abortion. Pendergraft will agree to commit an abortion through all nine months of pregnancy, only requiring justification from a medical professional. It is important to note that Pendergraft is currently prevented from practicing medicine in Maryland while he serves his fourth career suspension. Pendergraft has no active medical license in any other state. Therefore any abortion he commits is necessarily illegal.

After D.C. shooting, SPLC, Planned Parenthood,
and the Feds under fire
The New American
The far-left Southern Poverty Law Center, tax-funded abortion behemoth Planned Parenthood, and even the federal government are under fire for wild rhetoric and vicious hate-mongering that many conservatives and even some establishment analysts believe may have contributed to Wednesday's shooting in Washington, D.C., by deranged homosexual activist Floyd Corkins. Some experts expect to see more similar violence in the future if the hostile climate is not addressed.
