National Right to Life Committee Endorses Thompson
Fox News
Fred Thompson on Tuesday fielded the endorsement of the largest anti-abortion group in the country, giving the GOP candidate a boost in his quest to appeal to conservative voters. The National Right to Life Committee announced the endorsement in Washington, D.C., while Thompson was campaigning in South Carolina. “Our endorsement is a testament to Sen. Thompson's longstanding pro-life record, his commitment to protecting unborn children and our belief in his ability to win,” said Wanda Franz, president of the committee.

World should ban human cloning, except medical: U.N.
Reuters
OSLO (Reuters) - The world should quickly ban cloning of humans and only allow exceptions for strictly controlled research to help treat diseases such as diabetes or Alzheimer's, a U.N. study said on Sunday. Without a ban, experts at the U.N. University's Institute of Advanced Studies said that governments would have to prepare legal measures to protect clones from "potential abuse, prejudice and discrimination". "A legally-binding global ban on work to create a human clone, coupled with freedom for nations to permit strictly controlled therapeutic research, has the greatest political viability of options available," the study said. "Whichever path the international community chooses it will have to act soon -- either to prevent reproductive cloning or to defend the human rights of cloned individuals," said A.H. Zakri, head of the Institute, which is based in Yokohama,

Fred Thompson a Threat to the Pro-Life Plank in the Republican National Platform
RNCLife
Pro-life Republican voters who had hopes that Fred Thompson might be their man to support for the 2008 Republican presidential nomination had their hopes dashed yesterday when Mr. Thompson appeared on “Meet the Press.” The Republican Party Platform has supported a Human Life Amendment to the U.S. Constitution since 1976. Pro-life Americans want legal protection restored to innocent human beings from the moment of conception. That protection will not be restored simply by overturning Roe v. Wade, which is all Mr. Thompson supports. If the issue were slavery rather than abortion, his approach would be to allow states to be either slave or free, regardless of the fact that black people are human beings not to be treated as property. Thompson admits that he knows a human being exists at the moment of conception and abortion is the taking of a human life. The fact that he opposes protecting those lives at the federal level is shocking and reveals a mindset that, contrary to his rhetoric, considers the unborn child nothing more than the mother’s property and unworthy of protection under the law.

Could One Man Influence Abortion Law?
ABC News
Depending on whom you ask, Johnson County, Kan., District Attorney Phill Kline is either an agenda-driven prosecutor operating outside the law or one of the best friends the anti-abortion rights movement has ever had. And there's no lack of witnesses in his home state willing to testify about their opinion. "He's a person who is incredibly principled to the point where he sacrificed his own political career to pursue justice and uphold the constitution and the laws of the state of Kansas," said Troy Newman, president of Operation Rescue, an anti-abortion rights organization that organizes protests outside many Kansas clinics. Newman's Operation Rescue named Kline "Man of the Year" in 2006. But just one year earlier, Planned Parenthood – the nation's leading provider of sexual and reproductive health care (including abortions) – placed Kline on its list of "Seven Politicians You Don't Want in Your Bedroom."

Abortion Debate Rages in Chicago Suburb
ABC News
The name of the company applying for the building permits sounded like just another firm. On paper, the brick structure looked much like any other medical complex. Then it was revealed that the company, Gemini Office Development, is a subsidiary of Planned Parenthood and that the building would include space where abortions would be performed. Now, the 22,000-square foot, $7.5 million building in this suburb 35 miles west of Chicago stands finished but empty while the city investigates whether any building permit laws were broken. A federal judge could decide as soon as Thursday to order local officials to allow the clinic to open. That prospect has drawn round-the-clock protests to the site by anti-abortion activists.

Judge Blocks New Missouri Abortion Law
CR Daily
(AP) A federal judge temporarily blocked a new Missouri abortion law Monday after Planned Parenthood said the law would harm women by dramatically reducing the clinics available to provide the procedure. The law, which was scheduled to take effect on Tuesday, would put more abortion clinics under state supervision by categorizing them as outpatient surgery centers, requiring them to meet specific state building, staffing and health standards. The law would apply to any facility that performs more than five first-trimester abortions a month, or any second- or third-trimester abortions. Planned Parenthood argued the organization would have to halt abortions at its Columbia and Kansas City offices - either permanently or while expensive and "medically unnecessary" renovations were made.

U.S. under U.N. law in health emergency
WorldNetDaily - Bush's SPP power grab sets stage for military to manage flu threats
The Security and Prosperity Partnership of North America summit in Canada released a plan that established U.N. law along with regulations by the World Trade Organization and World Health Organization as supreme over U.S. law and set the stage for militarizing the management of continental health emergencies. The "North American Plan for Avian & Pandemic Influenza" was finalized at the SPP summit last week in Montebello, Quebec. At the same time, the U.S. Northern Command, or NORTHCOM, has created a webpage dedicated to avian flu and has been running exercises in preparation for the possible use of U.S. military forces in a continental domestic emergency involving avian flu or pandemic influenza. With virtually no media attention, in 2005 President Bush shifted U.S. policy on avian flu and pandemic influenza, placing the country under international guidelines not specifically determined by domestic agencies. The policy shift was formalized Sept. 14, 2005, when Bush announced a new International Partnership on Avian and Pandemic Influenza to a High-Level Plenary Meeting of the U.N. General Assembly, in New York.

The nation's highest court, in a 5-4 decision released Wednesday, reversed two lower court rulings and upheld a law passed by the former Republican-controlled Congress that banned a specific method for late-term abortions.

Ruling Draws Lawmakers Toward Political Minefield
Washington Post
The Supreme Court ruling yesterday resurrects the politically charged issue of reproductive rights just in time for the 2008 campaign season, but it may not be a fight the Democrats want. All the 2008 Democratic presidential candidates, along with many congressional Democrats, issued statements opposing the court's 5 to 4 ruling upholding a ban on a type of abortion, and GOP candidates uniformly applauded the decision.

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Supreme Court upheld the nationwide ban on a controversial abortion procedure Wednesday, handing abortion opponents the long-awaited victory they expected from a more conservative bench. The 5-4 ruling said the Partial Birth Abortion Ban Act that Congress passed and President Bush signed into law in 2003 does not violate a woman's constitutional right to an abortion.

Giuliani Defends Abortion Stance in S.C.

Republican presidential candidate Rudy Giuliani on Thursday defended his record favoring the use of public money for abortions, saying he wouldn't try to undo a Supreme Court ruling allowing the procedures. "Ultimately I believe it's an individual right and a woman should make that choice," the former New York mayor said during a Statehouse news conference where he picked up three endorsements.

Bill to Legalize Abortion Set to Pass in Mexico City
The New York Times
MEXICO CITY, March 30 — Dominated by liberals, Mexico City’s legislature is expected to legalize abortion in a few weeks. The bill would make this city one of the largest entities in Latin America to break with a long tradition of women resorting to illegal clinics and midwives to end unwanted pregnancies. But the measure has stirred a vicious debate and shaken this heavily Roman Catholic country to its roots. In recent days, the bill has dominated conversations from family dinner tables to the president’s office.
