Pro-life leaders slam White House 'compromise' on birth control mandate
The White House announced today that, instead of forcing religious employers to pay for birth control, it will force insurance companies to offer the drugs free of charge to all women, no matter where they work. The plan, touted as a concession to freedom of religion and conscience, was immediately denounced by pro-life Rep. Chris Smith. “The so-called new policy is the discredited old policy, dressed up to look like something else,” said Smith. “The White House Fact Sheet is riddled with doublespeak and contradiction,” Smith continued. “It states, for example, that religious employers ‘will not’ have to pay for abortion pills, sterilization and contraception, but their ‘insurance companies’ will. Who pays for the insurance policy? The religious employer.” read more...

Why abortion groups opposed the religious exemption but support the 'compromise'
NARAL and Planned Parenthood have joined RH Reality Check to enthusiastically support President Obama’s just announced “accommodation.” The reason? Whereas before at least churches were exempted from providing insurance coverage for contraception, abortifacients, and sterilization, now even church insurance policies will have to cover them. As RH Reality states, “Under this plan, every insurance company will be obligated to provide contraceptive coverage.” read more...

Real reasons why Planned Parenthood freaked over Komen
A new report has validated concerns expressed by the Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure Foundation over investigations into Planned Parenthood, the U.S. abortion industry’s biggest player. And there also has been suggested a reason why Planned Parenthood stomped so hard and so fast on the foundation and its relatively minor grants when officials there said they would discontinue them because of the multiple investigations of Planned Parenthood. read more...

Planned Parenthood's psychopathic pummeling of Komen
Hell hath shown its fury when Planned Parenthood was scorned. Planned Parenthood head Cecile Richards showed just how deep fury can run as she unleashed a coup to destroy Komen for the Cure or force it into submission, following Komen’s change in funding criteria that would exclude the abortion giant from future grants.
When Komen attempted late last year to quietly stop future Planned Parenthood grants, Richards apparently went to work right away behind the scenes, putting together a campaign that would force Komen to continue funding it or pay the ultimate price of being publicly destroyed, despite an ongoing investigation into its handling of government funds. read more...

Simply abandon the 'norm against killing' to solve organ transplant problem: Leading US bioethicists
The conundrum faced by the organ transplant industry, that the removal of vital organs kills the “donor,” can be “easily obviated by abandoning the norm against killing,” two leading U.S. bioethicists have said. In an article titled, “What Makes Killing Wrong?” appearing in last month’s Journal of Medical Ethics, the authors have moved the argument forward by admitting that the practice of vital organ donation ignores “traditional” medical ethics. “Traditional medical ethics embraces the norm that doctors … must not kill their patients. This norm is often seen as absolute and universal. In contrast, we have argued that killing by itself is not morally wrong, although it is still morally wrong to cause total disability.” read more...
