Court rules Texas can cut off state funds for
Planned Parenthood
Fox News
Texas will be able to cut off state funding to Planned Parenthood, at least for now, after a federal appeals court lifted an order that had blocked a new law banning funds to organizations linked to abortion providers from taking effect. The 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in New Orleans ruled that the state can turn off the funding spigot pending trial, though Texas intends to continue funding its broader program to provide women access to health care.

Kansas dropped Planned Parenthood charges to cover up shredded docs lie, says pro-life leader
LifeSiteNews
Kansas officials hastily dropped the last of Phill Kline's hard-won charges against Planned Parenthood because documents disproving their excuse for keeping the felony charges from ever seeing a courtroom were about to come to light, the state's top pro-life leader has alleged. On Friday, Johnson Country District Attorney Steve Howe suddenly announced, three days earlier than expected, he had dropped the remaining 32 misdemeanor charges against Comprehensive Health of Planned Parenthood of Overland Park (CHPP). The announcement wrapped up a process begun November 2011, when Howe dismissed the 49 most serious charges because, he said, the evidence in question had been destroyed by the Sebelius administration years ago. But in an immediate response, Kansas-based national pro-life group Operation Rescue said that only days earlier, it had used the Kansas Open Records Act to obtain records proving the very same evidence----copies of state abortion records----still exist.

Former abortion worker turned pro-life advocate, Joan Appleton, passes away
Pro-Life Action Ministries
We at Pro-Life Action Ministries are deeply saddened to announce that Joan Appleton, RN, longtime employee and friend of Pro-Life Action Ministries, died Monday, August 20, 2012. A former abortion worker, Joan came to work at Pro-Life Action Ministries in January 1993. She held various positions with the ministry, the most significant was to create and lead the Society of Centurions of America. This powerful outreach to former abortion workers focused on three areas of help: spiritual healing, psychological counseling and financial aid. The Centurions program helped many leave the abortion industry at a time when few in the pro-life movement knew of such efforts and helped many former abortion workers come to proper terms with their prior work. While at Pro-Life Action Ministries, Joan spoke on behalf of the unborn nationally and internationally. Joan retired from Pro-Life Action Ministries in August 2002 yet continued to volunteer on a weekly basis at our main office.
