Martin Haskell's abortion clinic in Dayton has recently lost its license due to a lack of admitting priveleges at local hospitals but a judge ruled the clinic can temporarily stay open because of abortions which have already been started. The clinic has stayed open for two weeks despite orders to shut its doors from the Ohio Department of Health. Martin Haskell is one of the abortionists who invented the partial-birth abortion technique.

One article from Idaho has Planned Parenthood sounding very unapologetic and claiming the call was misrepresented while the article Jessica links to has an apology along with attacks on the prolife group which made the calls.

A biotech company called PrimeGen has claimed to have created induced pluripotent stem cells without using genes which could cause cancer. The research has not been published in a peer-reviewed journal at this time.
