The Population Council issued a statement Monday reporting that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration has been informed that a Canadian woman died during testing of the abortion pill. The study was testing mifepristone, also known as RU-486 or Mifeprex, and a second drug used in tandem (in violation of the manufacturer's instructions), misoprostol.

Pro-life missionaries offer prophetic answers from God's word.

A May 2001 study by John R. Lott of Yale Law School and John Whitley of the University of Adelaide School of Economics in Australia concludes that legalized abortion in the United States resulted in higher crime rates.

U.S. District Judge David Hurd in Utica, New York, imposed $80,000 in fines on Victoria and Joseph Kraeger and their two adult daughters, claiming that they violated the state's "buffer zone" law. John Broderick, the Kraegers' defense attorney, took exception to the fines, stating "A dollar would be too stiff if you're not doing anything wrong." Broderick said the Kraegers will appeal the decision.

Four days after police withdrew the harassment citation he received for carrying a poster of a headless aborted baby, Joe O'Hara and fellow pro-lifers were back in front of the Allentown Women's Center on Saturday with extra signs and extra resolve.

An attorney with the American Family Association says he will appeal the criminal contempt conviction of Pastor Michael Warren, explaining that Warren is a victim of a conspiracy by the abortion industry to silence any opposition.

A proposed law which would seek to prevent pro-life missionaries from getting within 10 feet of a woman heading into an abortion mill will be voted upon within the next few weeks. Cardinal Edward Egan called the bill "an unprecedented attack on the rights of free speech and free exercise of religion."

Pennsylvania state police on Tuesday decided to withdraw a harassment charge against a pro-life missionary who recently carried a sign showing a headless aborted fetus outside an Allentown abortion center. "An individual has a First Amendment right to carry a sign and depict an image on a sign, and it may be viewed by some as being offensive," said Police Captain Theodore D. Kohuth.

"Pioneer" abortionist Kenneth Wright has been sued by the family of a woman who died from complications following an abortion, and by another woman who was hospitalized after an abortion. Wright is one of the nation's most "experienced" abortionists, with over 30 years' experience. He currently commits abortions in Central California, including Fresno and Bakersfield.

A woman's decision to abort her baby may be influenced by seasonal depression, say researchers in Italy. They found an annual peak in abortions in summer, coinciding with an annual peak in female suicides.

The Great Falls City Commission canceled a special meeting after city staff re-thought an assistant city attorney's ban on graphic pictures of aborted babies used by pro-life missionaries. The move came just in time to avert legal action from a nonprofit law firm.

Attorneys for three women have filed a lawsuit in San Diego accusing Planned Parenthood of withholding information linking abortions to breast cancer. "I have experienced abortion, and I have been treated for a non-malignant tumor," said Agnes Bernardo, one of the plaintiffs. "I am very concerned about developing breast cancer."

The voices of teenagers filled the air in front of the "Hope Clinic for Women" in a chorus of prayers to appeal for an end to the abortions committed there. Tears flowed down the faces of the young people when pro-life missionary Angela Michael described how prayer in front of the abortion mill has saved the lives of many unborn babies.

A federal appeals court has ruled a Massachusetts law creating protest-free buffer zones around abortion facilities is constitutional. Last November, U.S. District Judge Edward Harrington had ruled it was unconstitutional because it was a regulation of speech based on its content, a violation of the First Amendment.

Graphic images of aborted fetuses lined a portion of the Golden Mile Tuesday afternoon as pro-life missionaries came to Frederick as part of a five-day event across the state. The management of the Frederick Towne Mall responded angrily, "we find ourselves powerless to do anything about what I consider a public nuisance."

"You don't have to go to China to discover forced abortion," said Steven Mosher, president of Population Research Institute. "It exists right here in America, and has for many years. But now there's a way to stop it." Mosher has introduced "About FACE," a national campaign to protect American women from violations committed in private and state-funded abortion facilities.

"Now, forced abortions are no longer lawful in this country," said Jean Sapp, Director of the Counselor Corps of Lehigh Acres, Florida, an organization which trains peaceful counselors to offer help to pregnant women at abortion clinics. "The criminalization of forced abortions is part of a recent decision by the U.S. Court of Appeals in Atlanta in the case of Jane Roe II v. Aware Woman Center for Choice, which dealt with the legal consequences of an unwanted abortion."

As Tess was developing in her mother's womb, her parents learned that she suffered from cystic fibrosis. Struggling with the news of their daughter's condition, Tess' parents were told about the "services" of abortionist George Tiller in Wichita, Kansas. Tiller not only killed Tess, but held a "memorial service" for her, in the name of Christ.

The affirmation of war means the acceptance of casualties who merely become an unfortunate, but acceptable collateral consequence of combat. But these wounded must no longer be victims without a face or name. For they represent the prize. And within their wounds lies the key to true and lasting victory.

During the "Summer of Mercy renewal" week of pro-life demonstrations in Wichita, dozens of Operation Save America supporters are volunteering to help build five houses for single mothers.

Violence erupted outside George Tiller's Wichita abortion mill Wednesday, as pro-abortion forces shoved peaceful Christians who were worshipping God on the streets. Two abortion supporters were arrested for battery.

The Pro-Life Action League today began a nine-day, 26-stop "Face the Truth Tour" in which posters of aborted babies and babies in the womb are displayed at major intersections.

Tensions were high Tuesday morning in front of George Tiller's Wichita late-term abortion chamber, as the first of a series of pro-life parades marched through the neighborhood and the largest crowds yet came face-to-face.

Their songs and shouts echoing off the concrete caverns of downtown Wichita, nearly 1,000 pro-life marchers paraded through the streets Monday morning. Participants came from across town and across the world.

Pro-lifers marched peacefully outside George Tiller's Wichita abortion chamber today, their right to do so cleared by a federal judge after the city denied a parade permit.

The pastors of the city of Wichita signed an Emancipation Proclamation for the Unborn Children, declaring that "all children, from conception forward," are "endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights," and that the government of the United States of America is in rebellion against the Law of Almighty God.

Abortion activists chanted as pro-life demonstrators prayed outside George Tiller's Wichita abortion chamber on Saturday. "As a person that lives in Wichita, I would like to be proud of Wichita," said Bob Lippoldt. "But it is a city in shame."

Donna Lippoldt figures it's her fault. While she and others of her generation were wrapped up in their own lives, forces who supported abortion rights took to the courts and won the battle to legalize abortion. Lippoldt began "sidewalk counseling" in Wichita during the 1991 Summer of Mercy. "It only takes one thing to be a sidewalk counselor," she said. "A broken heart."

A study published by an affiliate of Planned Parenthood says almost a quarter-million abortions are committed each year in the U.S. on women who identify themselves as born-again or evangelical Christians. In an effort to recruit more Christians to their cause, a group of 25 pro-life advocates demonstrated outside Calvary Chapel in Costa Mesa, California, on July 8.

An Illinois judge has ordered the removal of a report by Angela Michael (of the Illinois pro-life ministry known as Small Victories) from the Internet. The report details the complications a woman suffered after a botched abortion at the so-called "Hope Clinic for Women" in Granite City, Illinois.

It was 10 years ago that Wichita became ground zero for the national struggle over abortion. For 46 days, the protests roiled our streets, challenged our leaders and clogged our courts. They also tested our conscience, as individuals and as a community. In some cases, hearts were changed. In others, they were hardened.

A pro-life group joined with Life and Liberty Ministries to hold signs with pictures of aborted babies, while they distributed literature with pictures on the cover of the founding fathers and excerpts from the Declaration of Independence. "These are not pretty pictures, but just because it goes on in secret doesn't mean that we can't show it to the public," said William Wegert, pastor of Amherst Covenant Church. "If we can stop one person from murdering their child, then it has been worthwhile."

According to a blistering report issued by Life Dynamics, the FBI may have engaged in criminal behavior to frame accused abortionist-killer James Kopp. "Our report does not seek to prove whether Jim Kopp committed this crime or not -- that was not our purpose," said Life Dynamics President Mark Crutcher. Rather, the group focused on "investigating the investigator," he said.
