But, states legislatures can decide to opt out of making their residents pay for abortions and some states are already moving ahead with legislation to do so.

Charmaine Yoest, the president of Americans United for Life, told LifeNews.com about the opportunity states have despite the pro-abortion law .

GARDASIL VACCINE NEWS

Finally, the American Medical Association has spoken some truth about the controversial vaccine Gardasil, the mainstream media has picked up the story, and doctors are “just saying no,” to it for their patients.

getting a shotAn article in the current issue of the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA, August 19, 2009) takes Gardasil manufacturer Merck to task for marketing Gardasil as a cervical cancer vaccine rather than an HPV vaccine; for ignoring those populations of girls and women most at risk for cervical cancer; and for what amounts to deceptive advertising by withholding troubling facts about the vaccine.

by Joan Robinson and Steven W. Mosher

GARDASIL LINKED TO 49 DEATHS

This appeared on Life Issues daily radio commentary by Brad Mattes on April 20, 2010 at www.lifeissues.org/blog/index.php?paged=3

You've heard about Toyota 's debacle with their product. About fifty deaths have been attributed to unexpected acceleration in the cars. As a result, it triggered billions of dollars in recalled vehicles. Compare that with Gardasil, the vaccine to prevent human papilloma virus, a sexually transmitted disease causing cervical cancer. So far about the same number of deaths has been linked to this vaccine. But there's been no wide scale publicity or a recall. As a matter of fact, it's still required for sixth-grade girls in several states, although parents can opt out. For no medical reason, Gardasil was fast-track approved by the FDA. Now it appears young girls are paying with their lives. If you're thinking of giving Gardasil to your daughter, make sure you get all the facts first.

STUDY SUPPORTS EFFECTIVENESS OF ABSTINENCE – ONLY MESSAGE

Wednesday, February 03, 2010
By Pete Winn, Senior Writer/Editor

(CNSNews.com) – The “abstinence-only” message to reduce teen pregnancy and sexually transmitted diseases actually works. That is the conclusion of a scientific study that was released Monday by the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine.

classroom

The study found that an abstinence-only message was significantly more successful in getting pre-teens to delay the onset of sexual activity than was a “health-promotion control intervention” – or general risk-reduction effort.

“It shows that the kind of abstinence-only intervention that we used was effective in reducing rates of sexual initiation among young African American adolescents, compared with a health-promotion control group,” lead author John B. Jemmott III, a professor at the UPenn School of Medicine, told CNSNews.com.

ADULT STEM CELLS, NOT EMBYRONIC, HELPING PATIENTS WITH MULTIPLE SCLEROSIS

by Dr. David Prentice
May 11 , 2010

A groundbreaking new study published in the last week provides more good news for treatment of multiple sclerosis (MS) with adult stem cells. Researchers at the University of Bristol used patients' own adult stem cells to treat their MS.

Patient

In a Phase I clinical trial, six patients with MS were treated with their own bone marrow adult stem cells and their progress followed for one year. The treatment appeared to stabilized the patients' condition and showed some benefits. As one measure of the success of the procedure, damaged nerve pathways were able to carry electrical pulses more effectively after the treatment.

GIRLS: "WE WANT PARENTS TO PROTECT US FROM SEX"

Proper Palliative Sedation Not Same as Assisted Suicide's "Terminal Sedation"

by Wesley J. Smith
May 13 , 2010

The assisted suicide movement is ever about blurring vital distinctions and deconstructing crucial definitions. One target has been the proper pain control technique known as palliative sedation, a rarely required procedure in which patients near death are sedated to control pain or other symptoms such as severe agitation or air hunger that cannot be alleviated in any other manner.

Helping Hands

Confusion about this–some of it intentionally sown by assisted suicide advocates–induced the National Hospice and Palliative Care Organization to issue a statement clarifying the proper methods and purposes of sedation as a palliative technique.

KEY POINTS ON HEALTH CARE RATIONING

On March 23, 2010 President Obama signed into law an anti-life, unpopular healthcare restructuring plan, passed by the slimmest of margins. If the Obama Health Care Rationing Law is not repealed by 2013 before its most dangerous provisions come into effect, the result will be the rationing denial of lifesaving medical treatment, and consequent premature and involuntary death, of an unknown but immense number of Americans. The pro-life movement must devote itself over the upcoming critical years to ensuring that the American people are given the facts needed to counter the misinformation.
