TO DEFENDERS OF THE PRO-LIFE INDUSTRY
Thanks for your serious concern. After Dr. Dobson's many years of dedicated ministry, it is not surprising that you disapprove of our confronting him. If we are wrong, we deserve your criticism. And if the three following points are correct, then we ask you to reconsider this life and death matter.
1. The Gonzales v. Carhart PBA ruling instructs abortionists that they can legally continue to perform partial-birth abortions simply by delivering a late-term baby halfway (to his bellybutton), and then killing him by various methods including by ripping off his legs. (See the ruling itself or our analysis at www.coloradorighttolife.org.) This is evil.
2. Most pro-life ministries have done many years of fundraising on this PBA ban, leading donors and Christians by the millions to believe the ban had the authority to save the lives of late-term babies even though they knew from the beginning this law did not have the authority to save a single child's life.
3. We are warning the many pro-life leaders who have become moral relativists that it is wrong to defend judges and rulings that violate God's enduring command, Do not murder. This happens commonly when officials affirm the killing of the innocent, as happened when Dr. Dobson defended Samuel Alito's 2000 ruling that kept partial-birth abortion legal in New Jersey. And now he defends this PBA ruling which optimistically suggests that abortionists "may find… less shocking methods to abort the fetus."
Some people who have been dismayed by our confronting of Focus on the Family have been even more shocked, to the point of disbelief, of what this brutally wicked ruling actually says, because they are not being told the truth by ministries they have grown to love and trust. We urge you to read carefully our open letter (earnestly co-signed by respected pro-life organizations like American Life League, Operation Rescue, Colorado Right To Life and Human Life International), and you can read the ruling itself. Then after you have more information, for Dr. Dobson's sake, and for the sake of the Body of Christ, and for the unborn who we are fighting for, please reconsider joining us in exposing moral relativism among Christian leaders, and in condemning any law or ruling that provides authority to intentionally kill an innocent person, thus undermining personhood and God-given right to life, which is the only place of safety for the unborn.
Thanks,
Leslie Hanks

Unequal undercover reports
By Michelle Malkin
May 20, 2007
Here is a tale of two breeds of undercover journalists. One has been celebrated by the national media and journalism organizations, the other has been shunned. One has champions in Congress. The other faces litigation.
Both engaged in sting operations with secret cameras catching their targets on videotape. Both were deceptive about their true identities and life circumstances. Both exposed their targets' aggressive methods and law-subverting recruitment tactics. But you've probably only heard of the efforts of one of these breeds. You'll know why in a moment.
Over the last several years, local and national news outlets have conducted stings on military recruiters. Last week, a Nashville, Tenn., station set up hidden cameras and reported it caught Army recruiters telling an undercover producer posing as a recruit that taking medication for depression would not disqualify a recruit. The Democratic chairman of a House Armed Services subcommittee now urges an Army probe of recruitment and the mentally ill, based on the station's report.
Last fall, ABC News and New York affiliate WABC enlisted students to help them in a similar gotcha game with recruiters. They armed the kids with hidden video cameras for visits to 10 Army recruitment offices in New York, New Jersey and Connecticut. Recruiters were accused of misleading students to get them to enlist.
The ABC News sting came on the heels of a Colorado student's undercover operation in Denver in 2005. David McSwane, a high school honors student, posed as a dropout and druggie. "I wanted to do something cool, go undercover and do something unusual," he told the Rocky Mountain News. Mr. McSwane deliberately failed a high school equivalency test, caught recruiters on tape driving him to purchase a detox kit, and reported they urged him to obtain a phony diploma. A local CBS station picked up the story -- prompting the Army to close its recruiting stations nationwide for ethics training.
Mr. McSwane earned a "laurel" from the prestigious Columbia Journalism Review "for conduct most becoming" and announced he was headed to journalism school. His reporting garnered attention from the New York Times to Editor & Publisher -- and spawned copycats like those at ABC News.
No such laurels have been awarded to Lila Rose, however -- and none will be, I predict. Miss Rose is an 18-year-old student journalist at the University of California-Los Angeles. Like Mr. McSwane and his breed of undercover reporters, she surreptitiously infiltrated a massive organization that enlists young people. Like Mr. McSwane and his breed of undercover reporters, Miss Rose exposed deceptive practices. Miss Rose posed as a 15-year-old seeking the services and advice of her target. Like Mr. McSwane and his breed of undercover reporters, she caught her targets urging her to lie and evade the law in order to sign her up.
But Miss Rose's target was the Left's beloved Planned Parenthood, not the military. And that has made all the difference in the nonexistent national coverage of her undercover journalism. Miss Rose edits the Advocate, a pro-life campus publication of the student group Live Action. She posed as a minor impregnated by a 23-year-old boyfriend and caught a Planned Parenthood employee advising her to lie about her age to relieve the abortion provider from a legal obligation to report statutory rape to the police.
"If you're 15, we have to report it," the staffer told Miss Rose in a secretly taped video. "If you're not, if you're older than that, then we don't need to."
"OK, but if I just say I'm not 15, then it's different?" Miss Rose queried.
"You could say 16," the worker helpfully suggested. "Just figure out a birthdate that works. And I don't know anything."
Other than coverage from a few pro-life groups and conservative Web sites, Miss Rose's stunning revelations have received virtually no mainstream media attention. And no calls from lawmakers for investigations of Planned Parenthood's predatory tactics and practices --which have been also caught on tape in other states by undercover citizen investigators.
Instead, Miss Rose faces threats of a lawsuit by Planned Parenthood, which sent her a cease-and-desist letter and had the appalling nerve this week to lecture her about the need "to be more respectful of California laws," according to the conservative Cybercast News Service.
Where are the muckraking champions when you need them? Intrepid Lila Rose has learned the hard way: Not all undercover journalists are equal.

For Immediate Release:
Rift Opens in Christian Right
Unprecedented Criticism of Dobson by Major Ministries
An ad hoc coalition of pro-life Christian ministries publishes today, May 23, 2007, a critical Open Letter addressed to Dr. James Dobson, founder of Focus on the Family in Colorado Springs as a full-page ad in that city's largest newspaper. The letter documents gross misrepresentation by Dr. Dobson and certain Christian organizations regarding the recent partial-birth abortion ruling.
Signers of the open letter include:
- Brian Rohrbough, president, Colorado Right to Life
- Rev. Tom Euteneuer, president, Human Life International
- Flip Benham, director, Operation Rescue / Operation Save America
- Judie Brown, president, American Life League
Judie Brown runs one of the largest pro-life ministries in America. Operation Rescue is the nation's most-well known pro-life activist organization. Human Life International ( HLI.org), founded by Father Paul Marx, has 90 offices in 75 countries. Colorado Right To Life is the nation's oldest Right To Life organization, and its president Brian Rohrbough is known internationally for fighting against violence as with his interviews on Good Morning America, Oprah, Fox News, and the BBC; and after the Amish school shootings on the free-speech segment at the CBS Evening News.
The open letter criticizes the leadership of the U.S. Christian right for a 15-year effort which achieved a partial-birth abortion ruling that actually encourages abortionists to devise "less shocking methods to abort the ['late-term'] fetus" (p. 30). The ruling, celebrated by leaders of the pro-life industry, provides instructions on how to legally kill a baby by a partial-birth abortion by delivering the child (breech), just not "past the navel." To actually violate this regulation (p. 17) "requires the fetus to be delivered 'until … any part of the fetal trunk past the navel is outside the body of the mother. '"
The Colorado Springs Telegraph Gazette approved this open letter for publication after confirming the accuracy of the Gonzales v. Carhart ruling excerpts. The letter also lists fifteen other pro-life leaders who are in agreement with the signers' negative analysis of the ruling. The signers made repeated efforts to reach Dr. Dobson personally, and he has received an advance copy of this letter, the text of which is attached, and at the Gazette.com , and at ColoradoRightToLife.org/openletter.

CAPLIS AND SILVERMAN ASTONISHED THAT BOULDER DISTRICT ATTORNEY
MARY LACY FAILS TO PROSECUTE THE MIDYETTE'S FOR CHILD MURDER!
WHY IS THAT?
When Denver's Children's Hospital last year conspired to starve disabled
toddler, Dylan Walborn, to death in a 24 day ordeal which the Denver Post
chronicled, why are we surprised that a Colorado districty attorney would
fail to prosecute parents accused of murdering their (reportedly) disabled
infant?
After 40 years of ending the lives of pre-born babies in the womb, America
has a set precedent for life being cheap!
Terri Schindler Schiavo was murdered in Florida, because many thought her
to be so disabled as to not be worthy of living. Dylan Walborn's parents
believed he wouldn't want to live and, therefore, starved him to death.
We have slid so far down the slope of death, that we shouldn't even
ask why the Boulder DA failed, for 15 months, to prosecute parents
who apparently believed their baby was worthy of death.
Caplis and Silverman stated the parents called the baby - limp arm.
Mr. Silverman chastised this pro-life advocate, when Terri's autopsy
was released, for proclaiming her right to life.
How can we survive as a nation when we routinely destroy lives deemed
unworthy of living?

Body of Evidence
On Friday morning, February 9, 2007 a young man brought his baby
to convicted felon James Scott Pendergraft's Orlando Women's Center abortion clinic
in a small white plastic trash bag. His baby was wrapped in something amber.
Perhaps a blood-soaked towel. He stood behind the Orlando Women's Center killing place with his baby in a bag.
We can imagine how it happened.
Tommy and his girlfriend Denise had come in on Thursday, February 8, 2007
to start the process of murdering their infant by abortion in the second or third trimester of pregnancy.
The clinic did an ultrasound and took their money. They sent Denise home with Cytotec tablets to stick in her vagina later in the evening to induce labor so she could give birth to the baby she didn't want.
The plan was for them to return on Friday morning to push the baby into the toilet at 1103 Lucerne Terrace.
Ooops.
At 4am, Denise's labor got hard.
As she walked to toward the bathroom for the umpteenth time,
the young mother fell to the floor with a strong contraction.
She felt the overwhelming urge to push. She couldn't help it.
It was uncontrollable. Their little baby came slithering out onto the carpet.
Another contraction and a whoosh, the placenta came out on their bedroom floor.
The baby was alive. She was moving.
Her baby startled. Denise screamed.
Tommy tried to settle Denise down, but she was hysterical;
"Oh my G--, Oh my G---, Tommy! She's alive! Tommy, she's alive!"
Tommy didn't want Denise to wake up the neighbors.
In a panic, he knew he had to kill the baby.
He suffocated the infant with his big hand.
As he crushed his daughter's face and broke her soft skull,
Tommy cursed the clinic for making him deal with this.
It didn't take long for the umbilical cord to stop pulsing.
His daughter stopped moving. He was swearing under his breath.
It was the abortion clinic who was supposed to deal with this mess.
That's what they paid thousands of dollars for. To do the dirty work.
What a bloody mess.
Now what?
As Denise sniffled, dazed and confused on the ege of the bed,
Tommy wiped up the carpet, scooping up his little baby in the blood-soaked towel.
The placenta was so wet and wiggly, like a liver. He had to use both of his hands to pick it up.
He called Orlando Women's Center's 24 hour hotline. He yelled into the phone. "This wasn't supposed to happen! The baby was moving. She was alive! This is an f-ing mess!" They told him to calm down and urged him not to call 911. They told Tommy that he didn't have to worry. "Just wait until 8:30am and bring "it" to the clinic. We'll check Denise and everything will be fine. This happens sometimes. We'll take care of it."
Tommy rolled his baby and the placenta up like a submarine sandwich and asked Denise to go get a bag.
Together they stuffed their little daughter in a trash bag and got ready to go to the killing place to get everything over with.
Although he wasn't due to arrive until late afternoon, the clinic staff called abortionist Randall Whitney and told him about the live delivery at home. They said that he had to come in early to calm the mother down by doing a quick check-up.
Tommy and Denise fell asleep on the bed and jumped up at 8:50am when they realized they'd overslept.
They threw the bag with their baby in it on the back seat of their car and headed for the clinic.
They almost ran a red light, but then saw a police car behind them. Tommy slammed on the brake and their baby's body tumbled to the floor. "Gross!" screamed Denise. "Oh shut up!" said Tommy. "We're almost there."
When they made a sharp turn onto Orange Avenue, the baby rolled from one side of the car to the other.
Denise covered her ears and hummed. Tommy swore.
Tommy dropped Denise at the front of the abortion clinic and told her to run inside and have someone come out to get "the damn baby".
Denise came back out in a minute and leaned inside the car and said;
"Tommy, they told me to have you bring "it" to the back door. Just wait outside. Someone will come and take "it"."
Mary Jo and I met Tommy at 9:30am as he walked slowly to the back of the killing place.
The father stood trembling outside the back door of the killing place.
I introduced myself to Tommy.
"Hello, my name is Patte. I have a special pre-abortion pack for you."
He didn't look up. He didn't move.
Tommy just stood there about 10 feet from the back door. He never knocked on it. He just waited.
His head was hanging. He was motionless.
He looked both drained and stunned, like he was in a dream.
I continued to speak to the young father:
"As you know these late term abortions are labor-and-delivery.
The Cytotec pills that she put in her vagina don't harm the baby.
There's still time for her to change her mind. Let's ..."
Tommy lifted up his head and interrupted me.
He looked straight into our eyes, "You don't understand,"
and as he lifted the bag up for us to see, Tommy said;
"This is my baby."
Tommy was frozen and expressionless, his baby in a bag.
Mary Jo and I looked down at the bag that Tommy held up in the air.
We could see the outline of his little child, slung low in the bottom of the bag.
She was obviously wrapped in something.
A baby in a bag.
Of course, we were stunned and it took me at least 30 seconds to speak.
"Please, bring her over here. That's your little child, your baby. You need to report what happened. You need to tell someone."
Then Tommy came out of his daze. He shook his head,
"No. This is my business."
Before I could say another word, clinic worker Sonia Merced
(who delivers many of the aborted babies at Orlando Women's Center and prays in Jesus' name)
opened the door and stuck her hand out. Tommy walked over to the door and silently handed Sonia his baby in a bag.
"Don't!" I said. "Don't give the baby to her!" Sonia turned to me and said "Oh shut the f--- up, Patte!"
Tommy walked around to the front door. Mary Jo and I held hands, bowed our heads and prayed.
"Oh Lord, please, do something so that this little baby doesn't get treated like medical waste.
Help us find someone who is willing to DO something about the murder of this infant.
Help us find someone who cares. In Jesus Name. Amen."
Charles May was on duty.
The Orlando Police officer who does security for convicted felon (http://forerunner.com/fyi/news/osb052501.htm), abortionist and owner of Orlando Women's Center James Pendergraft was leaning against the building up front.
I said; "Please Charles, I need to tell you what just happened."
The Orlando Police officer wouldn't come over.
I was from 25 feet away. (I can't go on clinic property)
The police officer said: "Just tell me from there." I told the officer what happened.
I pleaded; "Charles, it's a baby. You've got to go and get that child. You've got to find out whether she was born alive. She is evidence." He looked entirely disinterested.
And he didn't do a thing.
The clinic administrator, Turiya Valette, came outside. She appeared to scramble and got into her car and sped away.
Several of the clinic workers came outside as well. One moved her car from one spot to another.
Abortionist Randall Whitney came out to his car in his medical apron.
This is NOT normal behavior for the clinic workers. What were they all doing, running around like chickens with their heads cut off?
I called the Florida Department of Law Enforcement's and left a message for agent George Cunningham. They have been investigating illegal abortions by Pendergraft's posse for years.
I called Irving Levine the prosecuting attorney with the Florida Department of Health (FDOH)
who is in charge of the current case against Pendergraft.
What case?
On August 10, 2996 the FDOH filed an emergency suspension of Pendergraft's medical license.
The order focused in part on two illegal abortions Pendergraft reportedly conducted, one in 2004 and one in 2005.
Like Denise, in the 2004 case, Pendergraft reportedly prescribed a 22-year-old patient the drug Cytotec, used to initiate abortions. He allowed the patient to go home and return the following morning to complete the labor-and-delivery abortion of her baby. The mother later gave birth to her baby on her living room floor.
The patient went to the emergency room at a local hospital suffering abdominal pain and bleeding, carrying her baby with her. The DOH reported that according to Pendergraft's medical records, the mother was supposed to be 22 weeks pregnant, which means in the second trimester of pregnancy. However, based on a hospital physician's determination, the fetus was 24 to 26 weeks in gestational age, which is in the third term. Florida law bans third-trimester abortions, unless physicians certify in writing the pregnant woman's life or health is at risk and the procedure takes place in a hospital.
The 2005 illegal abortion involved a woman whose baby was in the 28-week of gestation. When no hospital physicians were willing to kill her baby, the mother found Pendergraft more than willing to take her $12,000 to murder the infant in her womb by labor-and-delivery. Pendergraft also illegally dispensed restricted narcotics to this mother throughout the process of birth, although the abortionist has no valid Drug Enforcement number, required for the distribution of controlled substances.
This is not Pendergraft’s first run in with the law. On February 1, 2001, Pendergraft was convicted of Federal extortion in Ocala Florida, and sentenced to 46 months in Federal prison, 2 years probation upon his release, and $25,000 fine. He spent seven months in prison in Atlanta, Georgia before returning to kill children again.
And, although is is STILL illegal to murder babies in the third trimester of pregnancy outside a hospital in the state of Florida,
we were able to obtain two third trimester abortion appointments at James Scott Pendergraft's Orlando Women's Center
last week.
Orlando Police Officer Charles Mays works for James Scott Pendergraft.
I told Charles that if he wasn't going to do anything I would have to call 911.
The Orlando police officer said;
"Go ahead." We called 911.
A few of us criticized Orlando Police Officer Mays for dereliction of duty.
Paula asked Charles; "Did you see it?" Charles looked serious and said; "Yup, I saw it."
Paula asked; "Well, what did you see?" Officer Mays said: "I can't violate their fourth ammendment rights."
If someone told me you had a gun in your purse, I can't make you open it."
Paula said: "What about probable cause?"
Marian said:"That's not even a good example because it's not illegal to carry a gun.
But carrying a baby, even possibly a third trimester baby, in a bag, outside of a hospital, is illegal."
Officer Paul Jackson and Sargeant Pursley arrived on the scene. They took Tommy inside to question him. We prayed.
A friend of ours called Channel 7 WMTV to tell them what had taken place.
Soon the Sargeant Pursley was making small talk with Officer Mays outside the killing place. They were smiling and laughing together I assumed that Officer Paul Jackson was still inside investigating and interviewing the mother and Sonia as well.
I assumed that Officer Jackson would confiscate the body of evidence, the little baby and the video footage that the cameras mounted in the back of the clinic building took of Tommy standing at the door with the bag.
I felt so grateful for their thoroughness. I assumed that the Orlando Police Officers took their job seriously. I assumed that they would do their duty. I assumed wrong.
When I called Orlando Police Department later on to inquire what had happened with the case,
I was shocked and outraged by what I was told ..."The officers did not make a report".
I spoke with Sargeant Pursley by phone. I asked him why he hadn't spoken to me, since I was the complainant who initiated the investigation of a possible homocide of a newborn infant.
Pursley said that he had no idea why he went to 1103 Lucerne Terrace; "I wasn't aware that it was a response to a 911 call."
I asked Pursley whether he had found the baby in the bag or anywhere else. The Orlando Police Officer said, and I quote:
"They are not obliged to tell me what is in the bag".
Pursley said; "The young man admitted that he told you that there was a baby in the bag. But he said that he was just f...ing with you." When I ask the Sargeant if he had searched for the baby, the Orlando Police Officer said that he never looked for a baby.
I asked Pursley how I could make a complaint for their failure to investigate this probable homocide.
Pursley referred me to OPD watch commander, Lieutenant Laura Houston.
I spoke with Houston by phone. Leit. Houston said, and I quote: "This is a personal mission for you. We are not going to investigate."
So, let me see if I understand this correctly. Ms Houston, the only decent God-fearing people who will be at an abortion clinic when things happen are the people who care enough to be there. Pro-life people.
But, according to the watch commander at OPD, their complaints, my complaints will be summarily dismissed because they,
we are on a "personal mission"?
But, a young man who pays an abortion clinic to kill his baby in the second or third trimester by labor and delivery abortion and who says that he is CARRYING the baby he paid to murder in a plastic bag, is given the benefit of HIS word.
Is it the normal operating procedure for Orlando Police Department to simply take the word of a person of interest in a possible homocide when they said;
"I was just f---ing with her"?
How very convenient for criminals that the Orlando Police Department won't even make a REPORT, let alone investigate, a possible murder of a human being when they say; "I was just f---ing with her."
Is it any wonder that Orlando has a reputation as one of America's murder capitals?
Because, of course, anyone who pays to murder their child and then possibly kills her when she is born at his home deserves the benefit of the the doubt when a law-abiding citizen reports that he was carrying his baby in a bag.
And Ms Houston, just so you know ... it DOES happen and it HAS happened.
When I tried to explain Pendergraft's history and the fact that it was a late term labor-and-delivery day at Orlando Womens' Center Orlando Police Leiutenant Laura Houston interrupted me and said:
"Mrs. Smith, abortion is legal."
I called the Florida Child Abuse Hotline and reported the abduction and possible murder of a newborn infant to Sondra, operator 5638.
To this moment I have received no calls or e mails from any influential people in Orlando. (I immediately sent this story out to a large group of VIPs in and around Orlando who appear to be people of conscience and conviction. hoping for a response. NOTHING.)
I have received no offers of help from any Christian ministries or attorneys in Orlando in this matter. I have not been contacted by any concerned churches or even individual Christians. A few faithful Christian warriors here and across America who engage the lost on the street are praying that someone cares enough to pressure authorities to retrieve the videotape and that little baby's body from Orlando Women's Center before the evidence is destroyed. That poor little infant is probably in the freezer of Orlando Women's Center as I type. Stericycle will be scheduled to dump that child in an incinerator as if she was garbage. But, someone may have stashed the body somewhere, or hid it on the roof as was the case in Hialeah in July.
The baby in the bag might have been murdered in the third trimester of pregnancy. But, unless someone goes and gets that body of evidence, no one will ever know.
How very nice for people like Pendergraft.
I feel like we are re-living Baby Rowan's murder at Pendergraft's killing place in April 2005 all over again.
Baby Rowan was born alive into the toilet at Pendergraft's EPOC mill.
911 emergency response failed that infant and his mother too.
Hear the 911 call for yourself!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bK5xUGZaB8I
With the pathetic unprofessional mishandling of the emergency response system in Central and the failure of anyone to do anything about it, who are we supposed to call
when something like this happens? Who has the authority to ACT?
What is the use of laws when there is no one to investigate them when they are violated?
Does anyone CARE?

On Friday morning, February 9, 2007 a young man brought his baby
to convicted felon James Scott Pendergraft's Orlando Women's Center abortion clinic
in a small white plastic trash bag. His baby was wrapped in something amber.
Perhaps a blood-soaked towel. He stood behind the Orlando Women's Center killing place with his baby in a bag.
We can imagine how it happened.
Tommy and his girlfriend Denise had come in on Thursday, February 8, 2007
to start the process of murdering their infant by abortion in the second or third trimester of pregnancy.
The clinic did an ultrasound and took their money. They sent Denise home with Cytotec tablets to stick in her vagina later in the evening to induce labor so she could give birth to the baby she didn't want.
The plan was for them to return on Friday morning to push the baby into the toilet at 1103 Lucerne Terrace.
Ooops.
At 4am, Denise's labor got hard.
As she walked to toward the bathroom for the umpteenth time,
the young mother fell to the floor with a strong contraction.
She felt the overwhelming urge to push. She couldn't help it.
It was uncontrollable. Their little baby came slithering out onto the carpet.
Another contraction and a whoosh, the placenta came out on their bedroom floor.
The baby was alive. She was moving.
Her baby startled. Denise screamed.
Tommy tried to settle Denise down, but she was hysterical;
"Oh my G--, Oh my G---, Tommy! She's alive! Tommy, she's alive!"
Tommy didn't want Denise to wake up the neighbors.
In a panic, he knew he had to kill the baby.
He suffocated the infant with his big hand.
As he crushed his daughter's face and broke her soft skull,
Tommy cursed the clinic for making him deal with this.
It didn't take long for the umbilical cord to stop pulsing.
His daughter stopped moving. He was swearing under his breath.
It was the abortion clinic who was supposed to deal with this mess.
That's what they paid thousands of dollars for. To do the dirty work.
What a bloody mess.
Now what?
As Denise sniffled, dazed and confused on the ege of the bed,
Tommy wiped up the carpet, scooping up his little baby in the blood-soaked towel.
The placenta was so wet and wiggly, like a liver. He had to use both of his hands to pick it up.
He called Orlando Women's Center's 24 hour hotline. He yelled into the phone. "This wasn't supposed to happen! The baby was moving. She was alive! This is an f-ing mess!" They told him to calm down and urged him not to call 911. They told Tommy that he didn't have to worry. "Just wait until 8:30am and bring "it" to the clinic. We'll check Denise and everything will be fine. This happens sometimes. We'll take care of it."
Tommy rolled his baby and the placenta up like a submarine sandwich and asked Denise to go get a bag.
Together they stuffed their little daughter in a trash bag and got ready to go to the killing place to get everything over with.
Although he wasn't due to arrive until late afternoon, the clinic staff called abortionist Randall Whitney and told him about the live delivery at home. They said that he had to come in early to calm the mother down by doing a quick check-up.
Tommy and Denise fell asleep on the bed and jumped up at 8:50am when they realized they'd overslept.
They threw the bag with their baby in it on the back seat of their car and headed for the clinic.
They almost ran a red light, but then saw a police car behind them. Tommy slammed on the brake and their baby's body tumbled to the floor. "Gross!" screamed Denise. "Oh shut up!" said Tommy. "We're almost there."
When they made a sharp turn onto Orange Avenue, the baby rolled from one side of the car to the other.
Denise covered her ears and hummed. Tommy swore.
Tommy dropped Denise at the front of the abortion clinic and told her to run inside and have someone come out to get "the damn baby".
Denise came back out in a minute and leaned inside the car and said;
"Tommy, they told me to have you bring "it" to the back door. Just wait outside. Someone will come and take "it"."
Mary Jo and I met Tommy at 9:30am as he walked slowly to the back of the killing place.
The father stood trembling outside the back door of the killing place.
I introduced myself to Tommy.
"Hello, my name is Patte. I have a special pre-abortion pack for you."
He didn't look up. He didn't move.
Tommy just stood there about 10 feet from the back door. He never knocked on it. He just waited.
His head was hanging. He was motionless.
He looked both drained and stunned, like he was in a dream.
I continued to speak to the young father:
"As you know these late term abortions are labor-and-delivery.
The Cytotec pills that she put in her vagina don't harm the baby.
There's still time for her to change her mind. Let's ..."
Tommy lifted up his head and interrupted me.
He looked straight into our eyes, "You don't understand,"
and as he lifted the bag up for us to see, Tommy said;
"This is my baby."
Tommy was frozen and expressionless, his baby in a bag.
Mary Jo and I looked down at the bag that Tommy held up in the air.
We could see the outline of his little child, slung low in the bottom of the bag.
She was obviously wrapped in something.
A baby in a bag.
Of course, we were stunned and it took me at least 30 seconds to speak.
"Please, bring her over here. That's your little child, your baby. You need to report what happened. You need to tell someone."
Then Tommy came out of his daze. He shook his head,
"No. This is my business."
Before I could say another word, clinic worker Sonia Merced
(who delivers many of the aborted babies at Orlando Women's Center and prays in Jesus' name)
opened the door and stuck her hand out. Tommy walked over to the door and silently handed Sonia his baby in a bag.
"Don't!" I said. "Don't give the baby to her!" Sonia turned to me and said "Oh shut the f--- up, Patte!"
Tommy walked around to the front door. Mary Jo and I held hands, bowed our heads and prayed.
"Oh Lord, please, do something so that this little baby doesn't get treated like medical waste.
Help us find someone who is willing to DO something about the murder of this infant.
Help us find someone who cares. In Jesus Name. Amen."
Charles May was on duty.
The Orlando Police officer who does security for convicted felon (http://forerunner.com/fyi/news/osb052501.htm), abortionist and owner of Orlando Women's Center James Pendergraft was leaning against the building up front.
I said; "Please Charles, I need to tell you what just happened."
The Orlando Police officer wouldn't come over.
I was from 25 feet away. (I can't go on clinic property)
The police officer said: "Just tell me from there." I told the officer what happened.
I pleaded; "Charles, it's a baby. You've got to go and get that child. You've got to find out whether she was born alive. She is evidence." He looked entirely disinterested.
And he didn't do a thing.
The clinic administrator, Turiya Valette, came outside. She appeared to scramble and got into her car and sped away.
Several of the clinic workers came outside as well. One moved her car from one spot to another.
Abortionist Randall Whitney came out to his car in his medical apron.
This is NOT normal behavior for the clinic workers. What were they all doing, running around like chickens with their heads cut off?
I called the Florida Department of Law Enforcement's and left a message for agent George Cunningham. They have been investigating illegal abortions by Pendergraft's posse for years.
I called Irving Levine the prosecuting attorney with the Florida Department of Health (FDOH)
who is in charge of the current case against Pendergraft.
What case?
On August 10, 2996 the FDOH filed an emergency suspension of Pendergraft's medical license.
The order focused in part on two illegal abortions Pendergraft reportedly conducted, one in 2004 and one in 2005.
Like Denise, in the 2004 case, Pendergraft reportedly prescribed a 22-year-old patient the drug Cytotec, used to initiate abortions. He allowed the patient to go home and return the following morning to complete the labor-and-delivery abortion of her baby. The mother later gave birth to her baby on her living room floor.

"Radical Abortion Anarchists Shout Down New Democratic Leaders".
The Democrat Congressional Campaign Committee chairman, Rahm Emanuel (D-IL), was shouted down as his press conference was interrupted last Wednesday by Cindy Sheehan and a group of anarchists she supports from the organization, World Can't Wait.
Later, World Can't Wait's advisory board member Sunsara Taylor appeared on The O'Reilly Factor [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R6f5NUKyRbk] and forcefully justified the organization's disruption of the week's inaugural events, calling it part of her group's obligation to end the war in Iraq.
However, embarrassing the Democratic leadership and driving Republicans from office are not the only activities on the group's docket. Last July, the anarchist group attacked and attempted to silence peaceful, pro-life activists in Jackson, Mississippi July 16, 2006. A group of masked World Can't Wait marauders targeted Operation Save America members who were entering a church parking lot, jumping on their vehicle and smashing the windshield with their fists and PVC pipe.
World Can't Wait activists wore orange t-shirts during the OSA weeklong protest in Jackson, stating "Abortion on demand, and without apology." The organization lists Boulder, Colorado's notorious late term abortionist, Warren Hern as an advisory board member.
Leslie Hanks, VP of Colorado Right to Life commented, "The radical leftist group apparently believes the incoming democrat leadership is so moderate that they were completely justified in trying to keep the newly elected officials from being heard."

PHIL KLINE SHOULD HAVE BEEN TIME'S
MAN OF THE YEAR!!
Kansas AG Mounts Last-Ditch Effort to Prosecute Abortionist
By Nathan Burchfiel
CNSNews.com Staff Writer
December 29, 2006
(CNSNews.com) - In his closing days as Kansas Attorney General, Republican Phill Kline is still battling to prosecute one of America's most prominent abortionists. After a judge ruled Wednesday that Kline lacked the jurisdictional grounds to charge Wichita-based abortionist George Tiller, Kline announced that he was appointing a special prosecutor with the necessary jurisdiction.
The controversy over Tiller involves his performing of late term abortions. His willingness to perform the procedures, including partial birth abortions, has made him notorious among pro-life activists and the subject of numerous protests.
Kansas allows "post-viability" or late term abortions only in order to save the life of the mother or if continuing the pregnancy will cause her irreversible injury to a major bodily function, including psychological damage. Kline alleges that Tiller performed the abortions for reasons not falling within the two exception categories.
On Dec. 21 Kline filed 30 charges against Tiller, alleging that he had performed illegal abortions after the 22nd week of pregnancy. But Kline ran into opposition from Sedgwick County District Attorney Nola Foulston, who argued that she alone had the authority to file charges in her jurisdiction.
Kline argued that as attorney general he had the authority to file charges regardless of the support or opposition of the district attorney, but District Court Judge Paul Clark Wednesday sided with Foulston.
Kris Kobach, a constitutional law professor at the University of Missouri-Kansas City told Fox News' "The O'Reilly Factor" Wednesday that the jurisdictional argument was "ridiculous."
"The attorney general in Kansas routinely brings criminal prosecutions in the counties of the state. This attorney general has filed hundreds of criminal cases," Kobach said. "And yet, this judge is pretending as if the attorney general has no power to bring a criminal case in a county court unless the D.A. wants to."
Kline lost his re-election bid in November after Democrat Paul Morrisson painted his rival's views on abortion as extreme.
In a statement announcing the appointment of Don McKinney as special prosecutor in the Tiller case, Kline noted that "two independent judges have found probable cause to believe that crimes have been committed."
He said Foulston "has never sought to review the evidence supporting these charges, despite the existence of such evidence in the public realm for several years and this ongoing investigation."
"This appointment of an independent special prosecutor will remove this prosecution from a highly charged political process in which millions of dollars has been spent in media and campaign efforts to elect as attorney general a candidate who, without reviewing any of the evidence, repeatedly pledged not to pursue this investigation," Kline said, in reference to Morrisson.
Even Kline's appointment of McKinney is expected to be short-lived. Morrisson will have the power to dissolve the special prosecutor's position and end the investigation of Tiller. He has reportedly pledged to fire the special prosecutor when he takes office, but has not commented on whether he will continue investigations of Tiller.
Georgia Cole, a spokeswoman for Foulston, told Cybercast News Service that if Kline made available the evidence his office has gathered against Tiller, the district attorney would review the material and determine whether to file criminal charges.
"Up to this point in time, the district attorney has not seen any evidence that has been gathered during the investigation," Cole said, "so she can't give any opinion as to whether the charges are or are not warranted."
She pointed out that the recent court decisions were not a commentary on the charges themselves, but rather on Kline's authority to file charges without Foulston's consent. But pro-life activists worry that Foulston won't pursue charges against Tiller even if she gains access to the evidence Kline's office has collected. They also charge that Foulston may be protecting Tiller.
Cheryl Sullenger, a spokeswoman for the pro-life activist group Operation Rescue, told Cybercast News Service that Foulston was trying to protect her "friend" by blocking the charges.
"When her personal friend has charges filed against him she reacts in an emotional way as one would react when their friend is attacked. She's not behaving as a professional; she's behaving as a woman whose friend has been attacked," Sullenger said of Foulston. She described Foulston as "a well-known abortion rights advocate here in Sedgwick County."
Sullenger suggested that Kline was reluctant to hand over to Foulston the evidence he has gathered because "he knows she's not going to do a thing about it."
On Dec. 22, Thompson told the Wichita Eagle that Kline's efforts to file charges were "the last gasp of a defeated and discredited politician."

Kansas allows "post-viability" or late term abortions only in order to save the life of the mother or if continuing the pregnancy will cause her irreversible injury to a major bodily function, including psychological damage. Kline alleges that Tiller performed the abortions for reasons not falling within the two exception categories.
On Dec. 21 Kline filed 30 charges against Tiller, alleging that he had performed illegal abortions after the 22nd week of pregnancy. But Kline ran into opposition from Sedgwick County District Attorney Nola Foulston, who argued that she alone had the authority to file charges in her jurisdiction.
Kline argued that as attorney general he had the authority to file charges regardless of the support or opposition of the district attorney, but District Court Judge Paul Clark Wednesday sided with Foulston.
Kris Kobach, a constitutional law professor at the University of Missouri-Kansas City told Fox News' "The O'Reilly Factor" Wednesday that the jurisdictional argument was "ridiculous."
"The attorney general in Kansas routinely brings criminal prosecutions in the counties of the state. This attorney general has filed hundreds of criminal cases," Kobach said. "And yet, this judge is pretending as if the attorney general has no power to bring a criminal case in a county court unless the D.A. wants to."
Kline lost his re-election bid in November after Democrat Paul Morrisson painted his rival's views on abortion as extreme.
In a statement announcing the appointment of Don McKinney as special prosecutor in the Tiller case, Kline noted that "two independent judges have found probable cause to believe that crimes have been committed."
He said Foulston "has never sought to review the evidence supporting these charges, despite the existence of such evidence in the public realm for several years and this ongoing investigation."
"This appointment of an independent special prosecutor will remove this prosecution from a highly charged political process in which millions of dollars has been spent in media and campaign efforts to elect as attorney general a candidate who, without reviewing any of the evidence, repeatedly pledged not to pursue this investigation," Kline said, in reference to Morrisson.
Even Kline's appointment of McKinney is expected to be short-lived. Morrisson will have the power to dissolve the special prosecutor's position and end the investigation of Tiller. He has reportedly pledged to fire the special prosecutor when he takes office, but has not commented on whether he will continue investigations of Tiller.
Georgia Cole, a spokeswoman for Foulston, told Cybercast News Service that if Kline made available the evidence his office has gathered against Tiller, the district attorney would review the material and determine whether to file criminal charges.
"Up to this point in time, the district attorney has not seen any evidence that has been gathered during the investigation," Cole said, "so she can't give any opinion as to whether the charges are or are not warranted."
She pointed out that the recent court decisions were not a commentary on the charges themselves, but rather on Kline's authority to file charges without Foulston's consent. But pro-life activists worry that Foulston won't pursue charges against Tiller even if she gains access to the evidence Kline's office has collected. They also charge that Foulston may be protecting Tiller.
Cheryl Sullenger, a spokeswoman for the pro-life activist group Operation Rescue, told Cybercast News Service that Foulston was trying to protect her "friend" by blocking the charges.
"When her personal friend has charges filed against him she reacts in an emotional way as one would react when their friend is attacked. She's not behaving as a professional; she's behaving as a woman whose friend has been attacked," Sullenger said of Foulston. She described Foulston as "a well-known abortion rights advocate here in Sedgwick County."
Sullenger suggested that Kline was reluctant to hand over to Foulston the evidence he has gathered because "he knows she's not going to do a thing about it."
On Dec. 22, Thompson told the Wichita Eagle that Kline's efforts to file charges were "the last gasp of a defeated and discredited politician."

NOT DEAD YET DECRIES STONE COLD KILLER
Disability Activists Predict Kevorkian Parole Will Impact Euthanasia Debate
Disability activists were disappointed but not surprised by the announcement on December 13th 2006 that Jack Kevorkian will be paroled on June 1, 2007. Reflecting on years of experience with the euthanasia debate and with Kevorkian himself, the following predictions were made by members of Not Dead Yet, a national disability rights group that organizes opposition to legalized euthanasia, assisted suicide and other types of medical killings:
1. We expect that Kevorkian will show near-miraculous “recovery” from his alleged grave medical problems. He has announced that he plans to speak and write. We expect him to suddenly show enough health and energy to make numerous media appearances and speaking engagements. We could be wrong, but we were suspicious his health problems were greatly exaggerated when his lawyer filed appeals for four years in a row claiming Kevorkian was essentially on the brink of death.
2. Pro-euthanasia advocates will be scrambling to figure out how to maintain control of the debate over euthanasia and assisted suicide. Over the past few years, groups such as the Hemlock Society have reformed and sanitized their images – even changing their name. They’ve worked hard to maintain the
fiction that the goals of the euthanasia movement in the U.S. are limited to legalization of assisted suicide for people who are close to death from a terminal illness, despite the fact that Hemlock provided $40,000 for Kevorkian’s legal defense. With Kevorkian once again gaining prominence in the debate, the public will be reminded of his role as a hero to the pro-euthanasia movement, in spite of the well documented fact that the majority of his body count consisted of people with disabilities who were not terminally ill. It’s also doubtful that Kevorkian will cooperate with the sanitized euphemisms for assisted suicide being promoted by the pro-assisted suicide activists, which will help undermine some of the very expensive public relations work they’ve engaged in over the past few years.
3. Some things are harder to predict than others. Will Kevorkian preside over any more suicides or actively kill anyone? There’s no way to know, since the only rules Kevorkian cares about are his own. The fact that he’s made a promise doesn’t mean anything – he’s made promises to courts before and broken them.
4. Mike Wallace or Barbara Walters can be expected to do a very sympathetic and biased interview with Kevorkian. They’ll downplay his history of helping nonterminally ill disabled people commit suicide and
portray him as some kind of martyr. They won’t mention his advocacy of lethal experimentation on death row prisoners or disabled infants at all.
Whatever happens, Not Dead Yet and the disability community will be paying attention and responding to developments. We witnessed the long awaited justice that put him in jail. We won’t forget the struggling disabled people he preyed upon. And we won’t be silent.

88: REAL Pro-Lifer Heads Colorado Group
On our 88th "The American View" we interview 100 percent pro-life, no exceptions, Brian Rohrbaugh who's been elected head of the Colorado Right To Life Committee. Why he even talks openly, explicitly and unashamedly about "God's Law"! We also discuss such egregious compromisers as Steve Ertelt and the "National Right To Life Committee's" Doug Johnson. Did you know that over the years the "NRTLC" has received hundreds of thousands of dollars from the Republican Party? And we discuss a new revelation re: the "Constitution Party's" continuing de-Christianization.
