Study: Repeat abortions greatly raise breast cancer risk
A new study published in the Asian Pacific Journal of Cancer Prevention in February reported a very statistically significant increased risk of breast cancer for women with previous abortions as opposed to women who have never had one. The study, consisting of 1,351 women and led by researcher Ai-Ren Jiang, reported a statistically significant 1.52-fold elevation in risk for women with induced abortions and a “significant dose-response relationship between (the risk) for breast cancer and number of induced abortions,” meaning the risk climbed with a higher number of previous abortions.A new study published in the Asian Pacific Journal of Cancer Prevention in February reported a very statistically significant increased risk of breast cancer for women with previous abortions as opposed to women who have never had one.

Ignore dad's 'ultimatum,' choose life: Pro-life group runs TV ads on BET
A pro-life media organization has launched a media blitz aimed at young black women who are considering abortion. Heroic Media began airing a new commercial entitled “Ultimatum” last Tuesday. It will play more than 60 times during May and June on Black Entertainment Television (BET) and gives viewers a toll-free phone number that will connect them with crisis pregnancy centers and other life-saving resources. The TV spot features a black woman sitting on a set of stairs as she tells women, “So, this pregnancy wasn’t planned. It’s gonna be OK, really.” The ad contrasts the unquestioning love of a child with the fickle affections of a boyfriend who gave his child’s mother an ultimatum: “It’s me or the baby.” read more...

Franciscan University of Steubenville to drop student health insurance
Franciscan University of Steubenville has announced that it will no longer offer student health insurance because of the Obama administration’s HHS contraceptive mandate that would require Catholic colleges to cover contraceptives, abortifacients and sterilization procedures. “The Obama Administration has mandated that all health insurance plans must cover ‘women’s health services’ including contraception, sterilization, and abortion-causing medications as part of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA),” the university says in a new post on its website. “Up to this time, Franciscan University has specifically excluded these services and products from its student health insurance policy, and we will not participate in a plan that requires us to violate the consistent teachings of the Catholic Church on the sacredness of human life.” read more...

'I'm not a hero': Chen Guangcheng, still in diplomatic limbo, phones Congressional hearing
As Chinese forced-abortion opponent Chen Guanchcheng awaits a passport to freedom that some fear may never come, his supporters are pleading for continued media attention as the affair threatens to be swept under the diplomatic rug between the U.S. and China. The extensive international media coverage of Chen’s plight was highlighted as a key factor in his safety at a Congressional hearing Tuesday. The hearing also highlighted how such coverage was critical for the woman who helped Chen escape, who said she believes beatings or worse were in store at the hands of officials who kidnapped her, had it not been for such exposure. read more...

They're not human beings -- so welcome to the buffet
As if China needed any more negative press on their barbaric One Child Policy after blind human rights activist Chen Guangcheng’s dramatic escape from house arrest, multiple news outlets are now reporting that South Korean officials have seized thousands of capsules and pills that reportedly contain the powdered flesh of fetuses and babies. The stomach-turning story reports that, since August, over 17,000 of these capsules have been seized from smugglers attempting to bring them in from--you guessed it--China. read more...

Archdiocese slams Georgetown U. invitation of Obama HHS secretary Sebelius
The Archdiocese of Washington has weighed in on Georgetown University’s invitation of U.S. Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius as a commencement speaker in clear terms, saying that the school has unmoored itself from Catholic identity and chosen a stance against the country’s Catholic bishops. Secretary Sebelius is the primary figure behind the HHS mandate forcing religious groups to provide free sterilizations, abortifacient drugs, and other forms of birth control to employees under the new health care law. She is also known for her extreme pro-abortion record, most notably her close ties with late-term abortionist George Tiller during her time as governor of Kansas. She is listed as a commencement speaker at Georgetown’s Public Policy Institute. read more...

Are women considering abortion informed? Not if Planned Parenthood can help it
How well informed are abortion seekers? We may not be able to know their minds or experiences, but we can certainly know whether those doing the informing are being honest, fair, and candid with them (spoiler alert: they’re not). Live Action has caught personnel [at] at least three Planned Parenthood clinics giving their patients inaccurate medical information about their babies and pregnancies. The people at Planned Parenthood misled women on when heartbeats can be detected, abortion’s medical downside, whether eight-week-old fetuses have limbs and brains, and whether the name “baby” is applicable. “But wait,” you say, “you can’t judge an entire organization according to a few bad apples!” Very well. Let’s see if Planned Parenthood’s official material fares any better. read more...

Ohio hospital hires late-term abortionist that it once banned
An abortionist that provides emergency hospital care to injured abortion patients of late-term abortionist Martin Haskell has been hired by the same hospital that stripped him of privileges just last year. In a press release issued by Christ Hospital on May 1, 2012, it was announced that Walter T. Bowers, II, would be employed by Christ Hospital as a gynecologist and has moved his office into their facility. However, in July, 2011, Christ Hospital terminated Bower’s hospital privileges pending the outcome of the Ohio Medical Board’s decision on charges he was negligent in causing the death of a wanted baby in Kentucky. read more...
