S.D. Law Gives Pharmacists a 'Conscience Clause'
For pharmacists who are morally opposed to birth control, South Dakota is a good place to work. South Dakota is one of four states with a "conscience clause" that allows pharmacists to refuse to dispense emergency-contraception drugs known as "Plan B." South Dakota's law states: "No pharmacist may be required to dispense medication if there is reason to believe that the medication would be used to: 1) cause an abortion; or 2) destroy an unborn child as defined in subdivision 22-1-2(50a); or 3) cause the death of any person by means of an assisted suicide, euthanasia or mercy killing."

Doctors, Allies Seek Right of Conscience
OB-GYN association says pro-life beliefs must be set aside.
For 26 years, obstetrician Dr. Gene Rudd was a member of the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG). But he dropped out when the group stated that pro-life doctors must set aside their beliefs.
"I don’t need to be supporting an organization that doesn’t have any more conscience than that," he said. "My conscience won’t allow me to support their lack of conscience." Click here for the full story
MLK niece to lead San Francisco pro-life march
Alveda King, niece of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., will lead an estimated 20,000 people in the Fourth Annual Walk for Life West Coast on January 19, 2008.
“If the dream of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. is to live, our babies must live. Our mothers must choose life,” said Alveda King, who lost two children to abortion and is the mother of six living children. “The greatest injustice we face is the denial of the right to life. Without life, no other rights exist,” she said.
Other speakers include Dr. Clenard Childress, Jr., founder of the Black Genocide organization, and Gianna Jessen, a woman who as an infant survived a saline abortion. Click here for the full story

How Many Heisman Winners Has Abortion Killed?
The sports world recently greeted the news that this year’s Heisman Trophy Winner, Tim Tebow from the University of Florida, was almost a casualty of abortion. Twenty-some years ago he was not the strapping 6’3”, 235 lb. beloved sports hero that he is today. At that time he was a one-inch-long unborn child whose existence, because of an amoebic infection, was defined as threat to his mother’s health. Pam Tebow, his mother, was told by a doctor that it would be in her best interests to abort this baby, and she refused. Her husband backed her up on that generous decision, and seven months later they gave birth to a perfectly healthy boy. Little did they know that twenty years later they would be standing on a national stage with a Heisman Trophy winner giving that magnificent witness to life. The world thanks you, Mr. and Mrs. Tebow! There cannot be a more touching Advent story than this.
I wonder if anyone has ever asked how many potential Heisman Trophy winners abortion has actually killed. The answer is, twelve. Reflect on that a bit as you read further because there is a larger lesson in the Tebows’ witness.

Abortion causing serious gender imbalance in India, study confirms
A new study has confirmed a frightening decline in the proportion of female babies born in India.
A survey of 5 northern states, conducted by Action Aid in collaboration with the Canada-based International Development Research Centre, found that despite government efforts to stop the widespread practice of sex-selection abortion, the number of female newborns remained artificially low.
In the Punjab state, where the researchers found the most striking results, there were only 527 girls for every 1,000 boys. In 2001 a census there found 754 girl babies born for every 1,000 boys. Similarly, in the Kangra district of the Himachal Pradesh state, the number of girls below the age of 6 years has declined to 789, from 836 in the 2001 national census.

Pro-lifer attacked -- then threatened with arrest
A pro-life group says poorly trained police officers need to know that pro-life demonstrators have a constitutional right to express their views in the public square, and cannot be forced to leave an area just because that's the easiest solution for the officer involved.
During a protest at a Hillary Clinton campaign stop in Fort Madison, Iowa, last week, a pro-life activist was attacked by a man wielding a club. Eyewitnesses say that police responding to the incident threatened to arrest the pro-lifers if they did not immediately leave the public sidewalk. The incident was captured on video.

NGO promoting abortion pills and legalization of abortion in Latin America
The Non-Governmental Organization (NGO) Gynuity, which promotes chemical abortion worldwide, has published a new paper on its website aimed to promote widespread access to abortion and undermine national laws against it in Latin America.
Janet Ramos Barrientos of the Legal Committee of the Latin American Alliance for the Family told CNA that Gynuity has published on its website the document “Choices for Introduction of Medical Abortion in Brazil, Colombia, Mexico and Peru,” in which it describes how to cover up the crime of abortion. The document indicates that “non-vaginal routes may be preferred by some women and will decrease the possibility of discovery of the tablets if the abortion is clandestine.” Click here for the full story
