Pete Kasperowicz posts at The Hill blog that:

Democrats in the House and Senate are looking to stop what they say are deceptive advertising practices by anti-abortion health clinics that imply they offer abortion services, but instead encourage birth and promote adoption.

Supposedly, Pregnancy Resource Centers misrepresent themselves as baby-murderers in order to entice women seeking abortion to reconsider. Of course, such misrepresentations are completely justified when done to save the life of an innocent human being. When the Nazis ask if there are Jews hiding in my basement, I've never seen a Jew and I don't have a basement.

You'll quickly notice if you read the post and the proposed bill, that the pro-aborts offer no evidence that PRCs actually misrepresent anything. Bills often have "whereas" clauses that detail the evidence that makes it clear why the bill is necessary. Not this bill. Not a peep of evidence.

To be liberal is to be liberated from the need for evidence. Pro-aborts are blind-faith based.

This is just the latest slimy attempt to malign PRCs who work to help mothers, their unborn and newborn babies.

The Blaze's Billy Hallowell, in reference to the Gosnell trial, asks, "When is it no longer a woman’s right to choose?" He doesn't answer the question but he points to something that everyone should have learned from the trial. He writes:

On April 16, as I sat in the courtroom at the Criminal Justice Center in Philadelphia, an important revelation was delivered from an unexpected source. The moment came when Gosnell’s attorney, Jack McMahon, publicly echoed what pro-life advocates have long argued: That abortion is a violent (or “rough,” as he termed it) act, particularly when the unborn are further along in their development.

As I reported on TheBlaze at the time, in defending his client in front of the judge and jury, McMahon said of abortion, “The process itself is kind of rough. You go in with forcepsﾅ[you may go in and pull out an arm, a leg].”

The quote, alone, dealt a stinging blow to my conscience, as I fought off the mental images that the attorney’s stunning admission conjured. Of the handful of days that I spent in the courtroom, this was the most jarring, thought-provoking and pivotal moment I encountered.

I left the courtroom that day considering the cognitive dissonance that some in the pro-choice lobby regularly tout and that our society willingly tolerates. Consider that it’s difficult to condemn, on moral grounds, terminating a viable baby outside of the mother’s womb if one supports the right to do so in utero. This is more rooted in logic than it is opinion.

After all, the difference between the two is merely the tactic used to ensure death, isn’t it?

Mr. Hallowell is hung up on late term baby-killing but it's all the same violence. Whether you rip arms off the child in the third trimester or the first, it's the same.

Let's answer the question that Mr. Hallowell poses but refuses to answer: When is it no longer a woman’s right to choose?

When a new human being comes into existence, her parents' choice is past. They chose to create a new vulnerable human being and by so choosing obligated themselves to care for that human being.  What pro-aborts call "the right to choose" is nothing but the license to kill.

Tony Leys at the Des Moines Register reports that pro-life groups have been inappropriately targeted by the IRS.

The agent wanted to know what went on during the group’s prayer sessions and during vigils outside the local Planned Parenthood clinic.

The agent followed up with a letter in June 2009, asking similar questions. “Please explain how all of your activities, including the prayer meetings held outside of Planned Parenthood, are considered educational,” the letter said. “… Please explain in detail the signs that are being held up outside of Planned Parenthood and explain how they are educational.”

The IRS agent inappropriately wanted to weigh what the group members were saying about abortion before deciding whether they deserved a tax exemption

In light of the special attention the IRS gave to Tea Party groups, it’s not a surprise that pro-life groups would endure similar politically motivated discrimination. 

The IRS, your tax dollars at work.

Eric Eckholm at the NY Times reports that

The Harris County district attorney’s office said Wednesday that it would investigate charges that a Houston doctor had delivered live babies during third-trimester abortions and killed them after they emerged...

Women come to the clinic for a dead baby and a dead baby is what they're going to get.
