Health Care Bill Includes Monthly Abortion Premium: House Minority Leader Boehner
November 6, 2009 - According to House Republican Leader John Boehner, the government-run health care bill being considered in Congress would include "a monthly abortion premium ... [to] be charged of all enrollees in the government-run plan." On his blog Boehner states that this premium "will be paid into a U.S. Treasury account - and these federal funds will be used to pay for the abortion services." He continues: "Section 213 [of the bill] describes the process in which the Health Benefits Commissioner is to assess the monthly premiums that will be used to pay for elective abortions under the government-run plan. The Commissioner must charge at a minimum 1$ per enrollee per month."
Genesee County Health Department to use text messages to send sex information to teens
Sex information text messages could soon be popping up on local teens' cell phones, thanks to a Ruth Mott Foundation grant to the Genesee County Health Department and Genesee County Healthy Sexuality Coalition.
Abortion clinic closes
The Community Healthcare Center, one of two Pensacola abortion clinics, is closed because of its failure to pay a $413,000 fine to the state for a licensing violation. The North Ninth Avenue clinic, in operation for more than 25 years, was licensed as an abortion clinic as well as a clinical laboratory for blood testing. In January, a survey by the Florida Agency for Health Care Administration determined that the center's lab license had been expired for 413 days. A fine of $1,000 per day was imposed.
Abortion doctor: 'Am I killing? Yes, I am'
DALLAS - Dr. Curtis Boyd is no stranger to controversy. In 1973, Boyd opened the Fairmount Center, which was the first abortion clinic in Texas. Boyd is the only doctor in North Texas who will perform late-term abortions to women up to six months pregnant.
Now, the doctor has made a jarring admission. "Am I killing?" Boyd said. "Yes, I am. I know that." Boyd said he is an ordained Baptist minister who has now turned Unitarian. He said he prays often. "I'll ask that the spirit of this pregnancy be returned to God with love and understanding," he said.
Newly Identified Corporate Supporters of Planned Parenthood Named

Why boys are turning into girls
Here's something rather rotten from the State of Denmark. Its government yesterday unveiled official research showing that two-year-old children are at risk from a bewildering array of gender-bending chemicals in everyday items. The 326-page report, published by the environment protection agency, is the latest piece in an increasingly alarming jigsaw. A picture is emerging of ubiquitous chemical contamination driving down sperm counts and feminizing male children all over the developed world. And anti-pollution measures and regulations are falling far short of getting to grips with it.
