Another New Jersey Abortion Clinic Closed Due to Health Violations - NJ Right to Life

Editor's Note: Due to computer problems I have been unable to post stories in the past two weeks. However I was able to save a large volume of material which was probably not reported in the mainstream press anyway. I'll try to catch up over the next two weeks. Sue Cirba

Early this year a New Jersey abortion mill was closed for about a month when the abortionist nearly killed a woman during an abortion. In June, an Atlantic City abortion mill was closed after it was discovered that it had not been inspected by state health officials in six years! Here are some articles relating to that story.

NJ Right to Life - Site Pages: "The area's sole abortion clinic was shut down late last week by state officials after inspectors discovered several violations within the facility, including problems with infection control, a state health department spokesman confirmed Monday"

N.J. Failed to Inspect Abortion Clinic

From the Press of Atlantic City - June 29, 2007 - The Alternatives abortion clinic on Pacific Avenue, which was last inspected in 2001, was shut down a week ago after officials responded to a complaint concerning change-of-ownership issues. Although that complaint was unfounded, inspectors found several violations “posing immediate and serious risk of harm to patients,” according to a letter obtained Thursday by The Press from the state to the clinic's medical director, Dr. Alan Kline.

One violation included the lack of hot water for over a year. The Atlantic City abortion facility had not been inspected in six years despite the fact that New Jersey law requires an inspection every other year. Tom Slater, a spokesman for the New Jersey Department of Health and Human Services cited a "shortage of staff and the continued growth of abortion clinics throughout New Jersey. " as the reason for not being able to complete regular inspections. To read more visit:

Euthanasia in Oregon - Wesley Smith Writes About Two Oregon Nurses

"Two Portland-area nurses gave [cancer patient Wendy Melcher] massive amounts of drugs intended to cause her death. The drugs were administered in what the nurses would later call an assisted-suicide plan directed by Melcher. The nurses have admitted to the Oregon State Board of Nursing that they administered doses of morphine and phenobarbital without informing Melcher's physician. Oregon's Death With Dignity Act--the only such law in the nation--allows assisted suicide but only with the assistance of a physician." To read more about this story visit:

The announcement was made by Planned Parenthood officials and confirmed by Morrison’s office Tuesday evening. In a letter to Planned Parenthood of Kansas and Mid-Missouri, Morrison said he found no evidence that a crime had been committed at Planned Parenthood’s Overland Park clinic."

Kansas Legislators Plan to Tighten Late-Term Abortion Laws

Kansas abortionist George Tiller, who has allegedly performed late term abortions illegally, has been at the center of controversy for several years now. Former Attorney General Phil Kilne conducted an investigation of Tiller's alleged illegal abortions,charging Tiller with 30 misdemeanor counts. Kline was unseated in the 2006 election for Attorney General

The new Attorney General, Paul Morrison thus far has not charged Tiller. Recently, the Topeka Capital Journal reported Kansas "legislators hosted a rally for about 100 people outside the Statehouse in advance of Attorney General Paul Morrison's announcement sometime this week of findings from a six-month investigation of Dr. George Tiller. Morrison's predecessor as attorney general, Republican Phill Kline, filed 30 misdemeanor charges against Tiller for violation of late-term abortion statutes, but all were thrown out in December by a Wichita judge." Now Kansas Legislators want to "narrow legal justification for abortion after 21 weeks of gestation and permit late abortion only to save the life of the mother." To read more visit:

Phil Kline, the former Kansas Attorney General who launched an investigation into alleged illegal abortions performed at two Kansas abortion centers, addressed the National Right to Life convention held this past week in Kansas City Missouri.

Kline was defeated in the 2006 election and his successor, Attorney General Morrison has not charged the abortionists.

The Kansas City Star article begins; "Phill Kline took his crusade against abortion to a friendly audience Thursday, delivering a sizzling indictment before the National Right to Life Convention.

“The soil of Kansas is stained red,” said Kline, formerly the Kansas attorney general and now Johnson County district attorney.

Before his speech, Kline criticized his successor, Attorney General Paul Morrison, for not taking seriously the investigation Kline began into alleged illegal abortions performed at two Kansas clinics." To read the entire article visit:

"Right to Life had its annual, three-day convention in Kansas City this week, attracting more than 1,000 leaders of local and state anti-abortion groups from across the nation. Mary Balch, director of the group’s state legislative efforts, predicted that ultrasound legislation will be a growing trend.

“We believe the more information a woman has about the development of a child, the more likely she is to choose life,” Balch said." Eleven states have enacted laws requiring abortionists to tell women they have the right to see an ultrasound of the child they are carrying. www.kansascity.com | 06/17/2007 | Abortion foes say ultrasound measures new push:

Is Romney's Pro-Life Conversion a Myth?

Now for the other side of the Romney coin. An ABC News article of June 14th called "Romney's Pro-Life Conversion Myth or Reality", by Rick Klein and Jake Tapper questions the sincerity of Romney's pro-life conversion. The article cites several examples of questionable actions as governor including the following:
"Within two months of his epiphany on this issue, Romney appointed to a judgeship a Democrat who was an avowed supporter of abortion rights. In May 2005, Romney also declared his support for a House bill lifting President Bush's ban on federal funding of embryonic stem cell research -- a bill he now said he opposes" To read more visit:

Pro-Life Blogs- Bill O'Reilly Comments On Late-Term Abortionist George Tiller

"Fox News host Bill O'Reilly rebounded from a six-month silence to issue a scathing segment on the notorious late-term abortionist George R. Tiller that aired the evening of May 30. During the segment, O'Reilly blasted Tiller for 'executing fetuses' for 'vague medical reasons.'

He was equally critical of Kansas Gov. Kathleen Sebelius, who vetoed a bill that would have required Tiller to provide specific medical reasons for abortions after 21 weeks of pregnancy.

'Incredibly, Gov. Sebelius is protecting Tiller,' O'Reilly said during his broadcast. 'And Gov. Sebelius is allowing him to continue the slaughter. How the governor sleeps at night is beyond me.'" To read more visit:
