While the pro-life movement was in mourning over the weekend following
the murder of pro-life activist Jim Pouillon in Owosso, Mich., pro-Obama
Catholics who reacted loudly after the murder of late-term abortionist
Dr. George Tiller have completely ignored the death of the peaceful
pro-life activist. Catholics United, a small group of pro-Obama
Catholics that has been actively involved in the abortion debate,
completely ignored the murder of Pouillon on its website, while only few
hours after Tiller's murder on May 31, its executive director Chris
Korzen issued a statement expressing his "shock" following the
abortionist's murder.
Obama Chief: Embryos are 'just a handful of cells'

*World Net Daily*
****There is no moral concern regarding cloning human beings since human
embryos, which develop into a baby, are "only a handful of cells,"
argued President Obama's newly confirmed regulatory czar, Cass Sunstein.
"If scientists will be using and cloning embryos only at a very early
stage when they are just a handful of cells (say, before they are four
days old), there is no good reason for a ban (on cloning)," wrote
Sunstein, who was confirmed by the Senate last week as administrator of
the White House Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs.

Women who have abortions could be posing a risk to future children,
according to research published today. A Canadian medical study found
that those who abort a pregnancy could run the risk of giving birth to
premature of low-weight children in subsequent pregnancies. It
discovered that women who had undergone more than one abortion had a 72
per cent increased risk for low birth weight and 93 per cent risk of
prematurity. It also found that women who had an abortion in the first
or second trimester had a 35 per cent increased risk of giving birth to
a low-weight birth baby and a 36 per cent increased risk of having a
premature baby.

Another former employee of late-term abortionist LeRoy Carhart has
contacted Operation Rescue to tell of illegal acts that she allegedly
witnessed and was instructed to commit during her employment at
Carhart's Abortion and Contraception Clinic of Nebraska. This woman, who
has supplied an affidavit to Operation Rescue and Rescue the Heartland,
is the sixth woman to come forward, and the fourth to put forward a
sworn statement. Her affidavit will be submitted to the Nebraska
Attorney General's office and the Nebraska Department of Health and

Two thousand schoolgirls suffer suspected ill-effects from cervical
cancer vaccine
Thousands of schoolgirls have suffered suspected adverse reactions
to a controversial cervical cancer vaccine introduced by the
Government.
By Laura Donnelly, Health Correspondent
Published: 9:00PM BST 12 Sep 2009
Doctors' reports show that girls of 12 and 13 have experienced
convulsions, fever and paralysis after being given the vaccine, which is
now administered in schools as part of efforts to prevent women
developing cancer.
Others suffered nausea, muscle weakness, dizziness and blurred vision,
according to a special report drawn up by drug safety watchdogs.
A support group says it has received dozens of calls from parents who
believe their daughters have been damaged by the vaccine.
The parents of one teenage girl given the jab last autumn believe it was
to blame for repeated seizures which have left her with brain damage and
psychosis.
The immunisation programme for teenage girls is controversial because it
protects them from the sexually transmitted human papillomavirus which
causes 70 per cent of cervical tumours.
When the Government introduced the Cervarix vaccination programme last
year, some campaigners dubbed it a "promiscuity jab".
Campaigners and families said the new figures showed the vaccination
should not have been introduced via a mass programme.
More than one million girls have already been given the jab, which is
offered to all as they enter their teens.
Until 2011 it will also be administered to older girls, so that all
female teens below the age of 18 will be covered by the programme.
Ministers say that ultimately the scheme will save 700 lives a year,
while drug safety experts insist the number of suspected reactions are
outweighed by the benefits from the jab.
Most of the more than 2,000 suspected reactions recorded by drug safety
watchdog Medicines and Health care products Regulatory Agency (MHRA)
were mild, with dozens of girls recording rashes, pain in the arm, and
allergies.
But the report prepared by the MHRA earlier this month also discloses
cases in which teens have suffered convulsions, eye rolling, muscle
spasms, seizures and hyperventilation soon after being given the jab.
The analysis by the MHRA, drawn up this month, found 2,107 patients had
reported some kind of suspected adverse reaction to Cervarix. Several
reported multiple reactions, with 4,602 suspected side-effects recorded
in total.
Jackie Fletcher, founder of Jabs, a support group for families whose
children have fallen ill after immunisation, said she had taken dozens
of calls from parents who believed their daughters had been damaged by
the cervical cancer vaccine.
She said: "We have spoken to parents whose daughters have had seizures,
paralysis, blurred vision, severe headaches and the loss of feeling in
parts of their body.
"Doctors will try to convince parents that these problems are in their
child's mind, or have nothing to do with the vaccines, but we don't
think there is sufficient evidence to show Cervarix is safe."
Medical safety experts insist the benefits of the vaccine outweigh the
risks.
They say many of the patients who experienced an "adverse" reaction to
the jab since April 2008, including some who took part in drug trials or
bought the drug privately, only suffered short-term side effects from
the injection process, not as a result of the drug.
There was no evidence to suggest "isolated cases of other medical
conditions" were actually caused by the vaccine, and not just a
coincidence, the regulator's report said.
Cancer charities urged parents to continue allowing their daughters to
have the jabs, saying the numbers were well within what would have been
expected for a large-scale programme, and that most of the side effects
were minor.
Robert Music, director of cervical cancer charity Jo's Trust said: "I
can understand why parents would feel cautious, but this programme could
reduce 70 per cent of cervical cancers.
We need to keep reviewing the evidence, but we would really urge parents
to make sure their daughters have the vaccination."
Stacey Jones is one of those who believes she has suffered side effects
from the vaccine. She was 17 when she had her first Cervarix injection.
Her parents Julie and Kerry, from Bilston, West Midlands, noticed her
becoming increasingly emotional in the weeks following the first two
jabs, but feared their "happy-go-lucky" girl had finally succumbed to
adolescent moodswings.
Within four days of the third injection in March of this year, Stacey
suffered an epileptic seizure, followed by 17 more in the following week.
She has now been diagnosed with a brain injury, caused by inflammation
of the brain, and is being treated in an NHS rehabilitation unit in
Birmingham, which helps her with basic tasks like making a sandwich.
Seizures are minimised by five types of medication, but her memory is
badly damaged.
The family has been given no explanation for how the damage occurred.
Mrs Jones, 44, said: "She was such a lovely, happy go-lucky girl, now
she is just a shell.
"When we go to see her, she can't remember what she has just eaten for
tea. The impact on her and all of us has been absolutely devastating. I
feel she has been used as a guinea pig."
A spokesman for GlaxoSmithKline, which makes Cervarix, said the drug had
to undergo rigorous testing, with over 70,000 doses used in trials
before a licence was granted.
He said: "The UK medicines safety agency has reviewed all reported
adverse events relevant to Cervarix and there is no evidence to suggest
that the vaccine carries any long-term side effects.
"The symptoms this girl has experienced are clearly upsetting and it is
understandable that the girl and her parents want to uncover the cause."
