    The risk John McCain took last Friday is comparable to the 72-year-old ex-fighter pilot knocking back two shots and flying his A-4 under the Golden Gate Bridge.

    McCain's choice of Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin to be his co-pilot was the biggest gamble in presidential history. As of now, it is paying off, big-time.

  • Planned Parenthood Abortion Center Closes Instead of Following New Law

    Monday was the first day that Planned Parenthood, which operates the only abortion business in South Dakota, had to comply with a new state law telling women the truth about abortion. Rather than tell women abortion kills children and has numerous risks, Planned Parenthood closed its doors.

    Last year, Planned Parenthood performed more than 250,000 abortions, which account for about 1 in 5 of our country's total. Of all abortions, those performed for black women accounted for about a third of the procedures. It's also worth noting that a majority of Planned Parenthood's clinics are in minority neighborhoods.

ALLEGATIONS AGAINST PLANNED PARENTHOOD DESERVE THEIR DAY IN COURT
The women of Kansas deserve to know whether abortion providers are above the law.
Olathe, Kansas - Facts concerning the pending 107 charges against Planned Parenthood of Overland Park, Kansas were revealed today in a startling press conference by Caleb Stegall, Attorney representing District Attorney Phill Kline in a mandamus motion filed by Comprehensive Health of Planned Parenthood of Kansas and Mid-Missouri, Inc.  Recent unsealing of the court records reveals several things:
  • Patient privacy was never an issue.  The records have been totally redacted of all identifying information contrary to Planned Parenthood's claim of violation of patient privacy.
  • The attached exhibit produced at the press conference proves that Planned Parenthood manufactured documents it gave to sitting Judge Anderson of Shawnee County, possibly in an attempt to cover up a misdemeanor ... of not keeping a file of the reports. This is the basis for the felony charges of "falsifying the reports." Planned Parenthood yesterday stated that the "copying" of the records were hand-copied copies of the records in question.  Peter Brownlie stated unbelievably that Planned Parenthood did not use a copy machine.
  • Probable cause has been found by every judge who has viewed the redacted records.
  • In addition, it is clear from the records that Planned Parenthood, in sharp contrast to their previous statements to the contrary performs abortions on babies past 22 weeks, determined by Kansas law to be viable (able to survive outside the womb). 
  • District attorney Phill Kline lawfully obtained the records while he was attorney general and maintains possession of the records that have been carefully secured by his office.
Judy Smith, State Director for Concerned Women for America of Kansas states regarding the information revealed in the press conference, "It is clear to anyone who wants to see the truth that our system of justice does not allow the target of an investigation to sue the prosecutor and to dictate the dispensation of the evidence of a case.  If the Kansas Supreme Court agrees with this travesty of justice, then criminal prosecutions are at risk for all of us.  Planned Parenthood, if allowed to pursue special privilege, will jeopardize the rule of law for all cases."
