Kansas Governor Kathleen Sebelius has vetoed a bill that would provide for more accurate and comprehensive reporting of abortion statistics to state officials. This bill is partly intended to make sure that abortionists are complying with the state’s late-term abortion law.

Gov. Sebelius wouldn’t sign it because she claimed the measure “will force women to provide intimate, sensitive health information to the government.”

“As we have seen in recent months in Kansas, we can never take our health privacy for granted,” Sebelius said, referring to lawsuits involving two abortion businesses that are refusing to comply with Attorney General Phill Kline’s investigation into potential abortions on girls who are victims of statutory rape.

One would think that as the top government offical in the state of Kansas, Gov. Sebelius would have more compassion for victims of statutory rape than she does for abortion providers. (read more)

OK, on one hand you have a young women who does not want her medical information to be released to law enforcement, even if it will not be identifiable to her. And on the other hand, you have a 12 year old victim of rape. Privacy vs. Justice? I would chose justice.

Let’s pray that the Governor sees the light and choses victims over her financial supporters in the abortion industry.

Contact Gov. Sebelius at 877-579-6757 or go to the website for more information.

The Alabama state health department has suspended the medical license of a Birmingham abortion business after learning that a non-doctor gave a woman there the dangerous abortion drug RU 486 in February. Additional information indicates that the woman was in here third trimester. The drug is only approved for woman early in their pregnancy.

State officials said the incident involved “multiple, serious” violations of state law and “practices and conduct that are detrimental to the health, welfare, and safety of the public.” The health department said it had no choice but to revoke the abortion center’s license in order to protect public health.

Summit Medical Centers operates seven abortion businesses in five states and has another abortion center in Montgomery, Alabama. The state health department ordered Summit to refer current patients elsewhere and to “cease all operation” as an abortion facility. It set a hearing date on the matter for June 20.

The Kansas Coalition for Lifesaving Cures is continuing a marketing campaign in their effort to make sure that unrestricted stem cell research is allowed in Kansas. They are using deceptive language in their efforts by claiming that they want to ban human cloning while they support Somatic Cell Nuclear Transfer (SCNT). With SCNT, stem cells that are genetically identical with the cells of a recipient’s own body could be derived. Sounds like cloning to me! In fact, This technique is currently the basis for cloning animals, such as the famous Dolly the sheep, and could theoretically be used to clone humans. Allowing this type of research will gain additional knowledge could lead to human cloning. Maybe this is why the Human Cloning Foundation praises the Kansas Coalition for Lifesaving Cures.

“We hope that the diligence of the Kansas Coalition for Lifesaving Cures can push Kansas to march in time with the national pulse which indicates that most Americans support the development of stem cell research,” said David Madrigal, HCF spokesman. (read more)

Their effort is supported by several leading organizations in Kansas. Most notable, University of Kansas and the University of Kansas Medical Center. (Makes me sad to be a Jayhawk.)

A.G. Edwards and Sons

Mark Jorgenson

The family of 14-year-old Michael Todd has received a restraining order preventing the University of Kansas Hospital from taking the boy off of life support. The boy was shot Tuesday at a Blue Springs, Missouri apartment. According to a witness, the gun may have gone off accidentally.

The family believes that the hospital is eager to take the boy off of life support because they want the organs for a donor program.

Whether that is true or not, is one question but who decides is another. When does the rights of the family to decide what care is given to a patient end? Why would a hospital get to decide when to stop care? I know that if I am ever in that situation, I would want my wife and I to make that decision for our child, not some hospital administrator.

Judge Gordan Thompson, Jr. ordered that the cross from Mt Soledad in San Diego be removed. Beginning this summer, the city will be fined $5000 per day for every day the cross is still up. This is after 76% of the voters last year approved keeping the cross.

It seems that after 50+ years, the cross is violating the separation of church and state. The ironic thing is that the cross is part of a memorial honoring war veterans for their service to America.

These men and women died so that we can have the freedoms that we have in this country and now we can’t even honor them with a cross?

Faculty at the Jesuit run Gonzaga University, in Spokane Washington are waging a campaign to refute Catholic teaching on homosexuality. According to this story, Dr. Mark Alfino states that “homosexual acts are not wrong things,” and “The Church is very much mistaken about this aspect of its teaching on sexuality”.

Gonzaga oficials need to remain true to their Catholic heritage and teachings. I could go on but I think that Anthony has said it best at his “Hard Sayings” blog.

We are getting closer to the day when there may be justice for 19 year-old Christin Gilbert. Christin died at the hands of abortionists George Tiller in Wichita, KS.

As she suffered from complications from the abortion, Tiller’s staff contacted 911 but asked that an ambulance not turn on its lights or sirens to not raise suspicion.
The autopsy report indicated Gilbert died from complications from the abortion.

The Kansas Board of Healing Arts (KBHA), which regulates doctors and abortion practitioners, refused to bring forth any charges against Tiller in the January 2005 death.

Sedgwick county residents filed more than 7,000 petitions with a local judge calling for an investigation. That was enough signatures enough to invoke a rarely used Kansas law allowing state residents to ask for an investigation.
