NEW ROUND OF FORCED STERILIZATIONS IN CHI-COMS **GRIM REMINDER OF 
"CONTRACEPTIVE", ABORTION CULTURE*

*Washington, DC (23 April 2010)* -- Communist China shocked the world 
anew this week with its latest forced-sterilization campaign in Puning 
City. Population controllers aimed to sterilize 10,000 men and women by 
April 27.

"The world is condemning this as a brutal human rights atrocity," said 
Jim Sedlak, vice president of American Life League, "but how far is the 
United States from this reality? We already subsidize sterilizations, 
birth control and abortion for the poor in this country and around the 
world. President Obama's new health care policy incentivizes population 
reduction.  Are we not also, like China, eliminating "undesirables" from 
our society?"

"China is merely farther along the same road the United States is 
travelling," Sedlak continued, "one in which human rights and the very 
nature of man, woman and the family are first devalued, then 
disregarded  and finally persecuted."

Twenty-five million men in China are unable to find brides because so 
many girls are murdered shortly after birth. China's brutal one-child 
policy is often enforced by violence, imprisonment and coercion 
techniques. In Puning, the parents of those couples who will not comply 
are reportedly being "detained" by authorities.

"While we distractedly look at China, we must also face our own human 
rights abuses. Planned Parenthood founder Margaret Sanger's eugenics 
philosophy is alive and well in poor neighborhoods and ghettos around 
the country," Sedlak said.

"Population control, eugenics, abortion and sterilization to eliminate 
undesirables are a reality not just in China -- but right here, right 
now in Washington, D.C. and all over the United States."

*Virginia Axes 'Health' Exception in State Funding for Abortions*

The Virginia General Assembly has approved budget changes requested by 
pro-life Republican Gov. Bob McDonnell on Wednesday, which would 
prohibit state funding for elective abortions except in cases of rape, 
incest, fetal abnormality or when the life of the mother is in 
jeopardy.  The amendment stops the state from having to reimburse 
Medicaid abortions justified for "health" reasons, and could potentially 
save hundreds of preborn babies from abortion per year.

MSNBC
A trucker who stunned a small Michigan community by killing an abortion 
protester and a businessman was sentenced Thursday to life in prison 
during a court hearing that began with an apology and ended with a 
verbal attack on the judge. Harlan Drake said he was sorry for causing 
pain to the families of his victims. But minutes later, he seemed bored 
by the hearing, urged the judge to "get on with this" and called him a 
racist and a hypocrite. Shiawassee County Circuit Judge Gerald Lostracco 
lamented that he could not order "hard labor" along with the life sentence.

While numerous pro-life protesters who were arrested for trespassing at 
the University of Notre Dame last year continue to face up to a year in 
prison and a $5,000 fine, anti-military and pro-gay demonstrators who 
were previously arrested on campus had their charges dropped, according 
to a shocking new investigation by the Sycamore Trust. Furthermore, the 
president of the University, Fr. John Jenkins, has reportedly refused to 
discuss the disparate treatment .

**/The birth-control riddle/*
Despite all of the birth control options available today, the rates of 
unplanned pregnancies remain high: Almost half of all pregnancies in the 
U.S.---some 3.1 million a year---are unintended, according to the most 
recent government survey, from 2001. Almost half (48%) of unintended 
pregnancies involve contraceptive failures.

/Birth control pill concerns bring lawsuits but few solid answers/*
When the oral contraceptives Yasmin and Yaz came on the market in 2001 
and 2006, respectively, they were thought to be safer than other birth 
control pills because they contained a different kind of synthetic 
progestin. But in a flurry of lawsuits against the pills' maker, Bayer 
HealthCare, attorneys claim that the progestin contained in the pills, 
drospirenone, is the cause of health problems, including deep vein 
thrombosis (blood clots in the deep veins), strokes, heart attacks and 
gallbladder disease.

*/*Abortion, suicide often hand-in-hand*
/Mental health risks are becoming increasingly associated with women who 
have had an abortion. According to Dr. David Reardon, director of the 
Elliot Institute, a number of studies indicate an elevated risk of 
suicide following an abortion. "About [one]-fourth of women who report 
having negative reactions to abortion will also report that they 
attempted suicide at least once, and suicidal thoughts are even more 
common," Reardon reports.

*More University of Wisconsin ties to Planned Parenthood//*

Last week's Monday Update highlighted the Planned Parenthood internships 
offered by University of Wisconsin System colleges throughout our state.

Pro-Life Wisconsin *has submitted a formal request 
<http://www.prolifewisconsin.org/resources/pressRoom.asp?article=Request+filed+with+Attorney+General%27s+office+on+University+of+Wisconsin+ties+to+Planned+Parenthood&aid=344&id=14#topNews> 
*to Wisconsin Attorney General J.B. Van Hollen concerning UW's training 
of future abortionists at Planned Parenthood in Madison.

But just how tied to Planned Parenthood is the University of 
Wisconsin-Madison, the "flagship" of the UW System?

The following items are linked to supporting websites:

- *UW promotes Planned Parenthood 
<http://kb.wisc.edu/vip/page.php?id=11208> *(including abortion services);

- *Alta Charo, a professor of law and bioethics at the UW Law and 
Medical Schools <http://www.law.wisc.edu/profiles/racharo@wisc.edu>*, is 
on the Planned Parenthood Federation of America board and the Alan 
Guttmacher board;

- Doug Laube, professor and former chair of the UW Ob/Gyn Medical 
School, is openly "*working in collaboration with Planned Parenthood of 
Wisconsin <http://www.obgyn.wisc.edu/directory/detail.aspx?id=25>*;"

- Faye Wattleton, former director of the Planned Parenthood Federation 
of America, *will be a guest panelist for a UW School of Business summit 
<http://exed.wisc.edu/directorssummit/outline.asp>*;

- Planned Parenthood of Wisconsin is paying UW School of Medicine 
faculty to perform abortions. UW doctors Caryn Dutton, Laurel Rice, 
Sabine Droste, Barbara O'Connell, Maria Sandgren and Doug Laube *are 
also employed by Planned Parenthood 
<http://www.prolifewisconsin.org/PDFs/UW_staff.pdf>*.

Additionally, Jacqueline Boynton is on the board of directors of 
*Planned Parenthood of Wisconsin 
<http://www.ppwi.org/aboutus/management/management.aspx> *and is an 
*associate lecturer at UW-Milwaukee 
<http://www4.uwm.edu/letsci/polisci/faculty/academicstaff.cfm>* and an 
*adjunct professor at Marquette University Law School 
<http://law.marquette.edu/cgi-bin/site.pl?10905&userID=3311>*.

Wisconsin Statute 20.9275 prohibits spending state funds on programs 
that provide, encourage, or refer for abortions. 

The University of Wisconsin System -- made up of 13 four-year 
universities and 13 freshman-sophomore UW Colleges campuses -- *receives 
$1.18 billion in state taxpayer funding per year 
<http://www.wisconsin.edu/about/>*. Of that $1.18 billion, UW-Madison 
receives $467.5 million, *which accounts for 18.7 percent of its budget

Chief Judge Scopelitis Allows Thomas More Society's Special Counsel Tom 
Dixon to Pursue Discovery in ND88 Case, Lifting Stay Ordered by Prior 
Judge; Jenkins continues Stubborn Uncharitable Stance

CHICAGO, Ill., April 26 /Christian Newswire/ -- In a major ruling--which 
ultimately could prove decisive for the defense--St. Joseph County, 
Ind., Superior Court Chief Judge Michael P. Scopelitis lifted a stay 
order that barred lead defense attorney Tom Dixon from pursuing 
discovery from Notre Dame officials. Dixon represents the 88 pro-lifers 
<http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?et=1103342291054&s=16890&e=001oDPGeSAZj6EJfwwKoMn8Kco57UQNGDZedl6A9YWfWBpiOLUy1RPTV0hC90NqSoCxvUmd85PgFTSIb43xo4cm6Ij4y1-VafBlQhj2e6lLWNVlw7aNvD-94g==> 
who peacefully assembled against the Catholic university's decision to 
honor the vehemently pro- abortion President Barack Obama. By allowing 
discovery, Judge Scopelitis authorizes Dixon to pursue testimony under 
oath from said officials who were key decision makers in the arrest of 
the ND88 
<http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?et=1103342291054&s=16890&e=001oDPGeSAZj6EJfwwKoMn8Kco57UQNGDZedl6A9YWfWBpiOLUy1RPTV0hC90NqSoCxvUmd85PgFTSIb43xo4cm6Ij4y1-VafBlQhj2e6lLWNVlw7aNvD-94g==>. 
It will also allow him to subpoena documents that may shed light on the 
college's apparent inconsistency regarding the arrest and prosecution of 
other groups and individuals participating in similar on-campus events.

"The lifting of this stay on discovery is very significant," said Tom 
Brejcha, president and chief counsel of the Thomas More Society 
<http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?et=1103342291054&s=16890&e=001oDPGeSAZj6FSwQ5hMOVDQNzv32tTD7JV00uWrebMBWU_yO2bKtyoBrfOFaNujFz3CGds7JuOEONPIb9ubcU9L1B9jtN21R6fN53_1pbCnvfcb_ruMp-4W3iazy9ZAtVa>. 
"A Notre Dame alumni group, Sycamore Trust, recently reported that 
homosexual rights and anti-ROTC protesters received, at worst, mere 
slaps on the wrist for leading unauthorized protests on campus. We 
believe that through discovery we may well uncover evidence that the 
Notre Dame police engaged in 'viewpoint discrimination:' that the 
university singled out the ND88 for especially harsh treatment."

The stay order had been issued late last year by Hon. Jenny Pitts Manier 
<http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?et=1103342291054&s=16890&e=001oDPGeSAZj6FQWyunhcPNofozJo91fuvpH7ZD_oeI54seagz6nJQ041aqa4LKQSq3u0FzkXVL4lgZLpd_fHPVO00Ju35tSWEgflIVXd5MGCtWb4Spsl1w-5CRWtpowpCMFknCDvOsCZI=>, 
the original judge assigned to these cases. Judge Manier later recused 
herself from hearing the cases because of apparent conflicts of interest 
raised by Attorney Dixon. Judge Manier had certified her rulings against 
recusal for immediate appeal, but after the appeal was filed, she 
stepped aside of her own accord.

Judge Scopelitis also ruled that once discovery is completed, he may 
convene an evidentiary hearing to review the defendants' "global" legal 
defenses before any individual trials. "Put simply, this does not mean 
the judge is insensitive to our legal defenses, but that he wants to be 
sure that they are presented in the appropriate procedural vehicle," 
explained Dixon.

The Thomas More Society has urged Notre Dame University president, the 
Rev. John Jenkins, C.S.C., to request that the charges be dropped 
against the ND88 in the same way that trespass charges were previously 
dropped against homosexual rights activists and anti-military protesters 
on the Notre Dame campus. Up to now, Fr. Jenkins has not acted on that 
request.
