Articles What's Going On: Your Pro-Life Guide to What's
Happening in TN Student Claims A
national pro-life group, Live Action, reported today, Monday, April 20, that
a Memphis Planned Parenthood counselor was caught on hidden camera coaching a
supposed 14 year old girl to lie to a judge about her 31 year old
boyfriend. Click
here for the video and news article. Lila Rose, 20-year-old UCLA
student and president of the nonprofit Live Action, entered Planned
Parenthood's Memphis Health Center undercover and told a counselor that she

needed a secret abortion so her parents would not find out about her sexual

today badly understates the scope of the longstanding law that actually
prohibits funding of research that creates or harms human embryos, including
all creation of human embryos by cloning.

You can't just be opposed to the wanton slaughter of defenseless unborn babies. You have to be in cahoots with [fill in the blank]. This recurrence is as predictable as swallows returning to Capistrano. That does not mean there is an ounce of truth to it. It does mean that smear tactics are a perennial hazard that we face. My email box is filled with links to the recently published Department of Homeland Security (DHS) report on "Rightwing Extremism" which, in an evidence-free footnote, included pro-lifers. When you read something this stupid you are tempted either to overreact or ignore it altogether. Let me try a middle-of-the-road approach.
