Whatever you tell us stays within these walls.
Live Action‘s “Lila Rose” went undercover at a Planned Parenthood in Birmingham, Alabama. She told the employee she was 14, and the woman said she needed her parents’ consent to kill her baby. So far, so legal.
When Lila Rose hedges, the employee asks if she has an older sister over the age of 18. The “pregnant” girl says no, but that her half-brother is over 18. Does he have the same last name? He doesn’t. Out of luck. Or is she?
Lila Rose says her baby’s father is 31. Does the “Whatever you tell us stays within these walls” statement still hold? It’s mandatory in Alabama for clinics to report suspected sexual abuse of a minor.
Earlier this year I told you about a case called Ricci v. DeStefano. The fire department in New Haven, Connecticut, threw out the results of a promotions test because no blacks scored high enough to qualify for promotions. In other words, white firefighters (over a dozen) and two hispanics who qualified were denied promotions because of their race.
Today the U.S. Supreme Court ruled 5-4 in favor of the firefighters and against New Haven. (Also see video)
Sonia Sotomayor, Barack Obama’s nominee for the U.S. Supreme Court, was one of the judges on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit who sided with New Haven. In other words, she ruled against the firefighters denied promotions because of skin color.
A developing meme is that the Supreme Court reversed Sotomayor. Will it make a difference during confirmation hearings? I’m not hopeful Sotomayor-reversed will generate much steam. I doubt Republicans have the heart to grill Sotomayor the way they should. They’re not of stout heart.

Live Action Films went undercover and recorded a Planned Parenthood worker saying that bloody images of aborted babies online aren’t real. It doesn’t matter if she had a specific site in mind. The point is she made the statement to assuage the “pregnant” girl’s guilt over preparing to have her baby slaughtered.
Be warned. The image below of an eight-week-old aborted baby is real, and it isn’t the worst out there. Even at eight weeks, note the developing ribcage, spine, and bones in his/her fingers. Someone thought this precious life wasn’t fit to live:

Last November, 56 percent of Arizona voters chose to protect traditional marriage. The constitutional amendment reads: “Only a union of one man and one woman shall be valid or recognized as a marriage in this state.”
Arizona does the right thing once again. Both houses of the state legislature passed a measure to restrict abortion. With a Republican in the governor’s mansion who supports the bill, it has a good chance of becoming law. (Source)
The bill would:
- Impose a 24-hour-wait before the slaughter commences;
- Require “doctors” to tell women about risks and alternatives;
- Strengthen a parental approval law;
- Exempt health care providers who consider snuffing out unborn life wrong from dispensing “emergency contraception.”
I know, it’s so little, but it’s something. If the bill saves one unborn baby’s life…
I’m fond of Arizona at the moment. I think it’s time to visit.
