Twins Die in the Womb from Nazi Experiment

Nazi Like Experiment Halted
After Twins Die In The Womb
An attempt to produce babies with three genetic parents was halted when twins died in the womb, it emerged yesterday. The experiment, in which researchers combined elements from two newly-conceived eggs to create a single viable embryo, was designed to help women whose eggs are not good enough to reactivate a pregnancy. American researchers who handed the work over to colleagues in China, after the experiment was effectively banned in the United States, said the technique had the potential to treat infertile women. But they admitted that further attempts were now unlikely.

Lawyer Seeks $5.8 Million Judgment Against Carruth
CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- A hearing to determine damages in a wrongful death lawsuit reunited former Carolina Panther Rae Carruth and three men he was convicted of conspiring with to murder Carruth's pregnant girlfriend. Billie Ellerbe, a lawyer for the mother of the late Cherica Adams, asked at Monday's hearing for a damages award of about $5.8 million to Adams' estate. Carruth was found guilty of conspiracy to commit murder, shooting into an occupied vehicle and using a gun to try to kill the baby Adams was carrying. He was acquitted of a murder charge that could have brought the death penalty. Prosecutors said Carruth hatched the plot after Adams refused to get an abortion.

Man Pleads Guilty to Murdering Pregnant Girlfriend
Charged With Only One Count of Murder
A Morristown man admitted he strangled his pregnant girlfriend to death and then buried her body in a wooded area. Raymond Gregg, Jr., 30, pleaded guilty to second degree murder in Morristown Criminal Court on Monday. Gregg said he killed his pregnant girlfriend, Angela Russell, 25, and then dumped her body in woods off Statem Gap Road in Hamblen County. Police wanted to charge him with two counts of murder but felt they could not prove the victim's unborn child was ever alive. "Our pathologist was of the opinion that he could not state with certainty whether or not it was a viable fetus at the time," said district attorney general Berkley Bell.

Comatose Woman's Parents Ask
Governor To Forestall Her Death
ST. PETERSBURG -- The parents of a severely brain-damaged woman made an emotional plea to Gov. Jeb Bush Monday to prevent their daughter's husband from going through with a court-approved removal this week of the feeding tube keeping her alive. It was unclear whether there was anything the governor could do. He has already asked that an independent guardian be appointed to represent the woman and that she be given therapy to see if she could learn to feed herself. Judges denied both requests.

Terry Latches onto Tragic Story
PINELLAS PARK, Fla. -- About 10 sign-toting demonstrators, organized by prominent activist Randall Terry, began their vigil on the sidewalk at noon in front of Woodside Hospice, where Terri Schiavo lives in a vegetative state brought on by a 1990 heart attack. Terry, one of America's most well-known abortion opponents of the 1980s and early 1990s, said he contacted the Schindlers offering his help after learning of their plight to keep their daughter alive. Terry has been mostly quiet in recent years, but recently formed an activist group called Society for Truth and Justice. In August, he organized a rallies in Jacksonville, Fla., and Savannah, Ga., to speak out against gay marriage.

Newborn Abandoned at Pizza Parlor
Police are hoping to hear from the mother of an abandoned baby. The newborn boy was only about an hour old when he was found cold and abandoned on the steps of a pizzeria in Bloomfield, New Jersey. The seven pound, six ounce baby boy was born yesterday morning. He spent his first few hours freezing, abandoned outside a pizza parlor wrapped in nothing but a t-shirt. It was dark, and only 61 degrees as the infant lay there alone.

GAP Educates Students On the "Right-To-Life"
The Genocide Awareness Project (GAP), invited by the Students for Life, came to Maryland’s campus to show what they see as the horrors of abortion. The Center for Bio-Ethical Reform, centered in California but with regional bases in New Jersey, Tennessee, and Ohio, sponsors many endeavors like GAP, throughout the nation. This past summer, they put similar anti-abortion messages on banners that were flown over the beaches of both coasts. They also fund a program known as Reproductive Choice that places pictures and anti-abortion messages on trucks that drive throughout the country.

Baby Murder Case Remand
A Shropshire man accused of murdering a newborn baby and dumping the body of another child into the River Severn appeared at Shrewsbury Crown Court today. The man, who cannot be named after the judge made an order banning publication of information in the media that would identify him, was at the court for a preliminary hearing. The 37-year-old is accused of murdering an unnamed baby in 1999 by putting the living child into a bag and throwing it in the river, and putting the body of another newborn baby into a bag before hurling it into the River Severn in 1998.

Display Draws Student Protest
Pictures of genocide, aborted fetuses and mass destruction overtook the center of Harrington Beach on Wednesday and Thursday as part of an initiative to educate students about the horrors and magnitude of abortion. The Genocide Awareness Project, created by the Center for Bio-Ethical Reform, was brought to campus by the registered student organization Pro-Life Vanguard. Large graphic images of dead fetuses covered multiple billboards, with headlines such as "Killing a baby is a bad choice."

Abortions: 'In a Much More Tasteful Manner'
Disturbing images evoke negative feelings that are not conducive to constructive discussion and debate. Pro-life Vanguard, a resident student organization, sponsored an event on Harrington Beach this week. The group brought another organization that displayed images of abortion along with pictures of historical events such as the Holocaust, Pearl Harbor and the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11. Although these groups acted perfectly within their freedoms of assembly and speech, we at The Review feel the issue could have been dealt with in a much more tasteful manner.

Abortion Awareness or Blatant Scare Tactics?
IF YOU DIDN'T see it, you've heard about it. On campus Tuesday, there was almost no avoiding it -- or the pro-choice and anti-abortion chatter it spurred. Just outside Pattee Library between Burrowes and Sparks buildings, pedestrians went bug-eyed at the two-tiered, six-foot photos of Nazi swastikas, genocide in Rwanda, lynchings and aborted fetuses.

Abortion Display Appalling; Uses Lies
and Disgusting Comparisons As Propaganda
I was appalled at what I saw on Hornbake Mall yesterday - pictures of aborted fetuses were compared to nickels for size and gross depictions of deformed breasts, with the implication that abortion causes breast cancer. Why was I so disgusted? Not by the material itself, but by the blatant lying and propaganda techniques the Genocide Awareness Project and Students for Life utilized. First, there have been no conclusive studies to link abortion to breast cancer.[?]

The Coalition On Abortion/Breast Cancer
28 out of 37 studies show a link between abortion and breast cancer. 13 out of 15 U.S. studies reported a link -- 17 were statistically significant, 16 of which found increased risk -- 7 show more than a twofold increase in risk.

Graphic Photos Draw Crowd
The Center for Bio-Ethical Reform displayed their Genocide Awareness Project outside the Johnson Center Wednesday and Thursday. The Genocide Awareness Project features a series of 6'x13' billboards that compare abortion to forms of genocide with vivid images of aborted fetuses, Cambodian killing fields, the Holocaust, and many other historical genocides. The Gender Awareness Project said that they believe the billboards are necessary because "so many pro-abortion Americans work so hard to cover up the horror of abortion." The GAP hopes the billboards will help to raise awareness about abortion.

Immigrants' U.S.-Born Children
Will Fuel Growth Among Latinos
The U.S.-born children of immigrants are replacing their parents as the fastest-growing generation in the Latino population, and the shift will have profound effects on the country's largest minority group. A report to be released today by the Pew Hispanic Center predicts that by 2020, nearly half the growth in the nation's Latino population will be from the second generation. Within seven years, it is predicted to account for one in nine school-age children. And through 2020, it is forecast to make up one in four new members of the nation's workforce.

Pro-Choice: Bad Grammar-Legal Maze

Traitors to the Unborn," the protesters heckled dinner guests as they walked into the organization's council building downtown. Capps, a Santa Barbara Democrat whose district includes Oxnard, advocates women's reproductive rights.

Longtime Child Welfare Employee Fired
A longtime employee of the Department of Children & Families was abruptly fired as head of the child welfare program in Miami. Chuck Hood, DCF's district administrator in Miami, said "it gives us an opportunity to look for fresh leadership in family safety." The move comes less than two weeks after the agency's highest-ranking Miami attorney, Elizabeth Anon, was fired, along with another DCF lawyer and a foster care supervisor. Agency officials said the three were responsible for ignoring court orders for the removal of a 4-month-old baby from his 14-year-old disabled mother. The infant suffered a skull fracture while in his mother's care Oct. 1.

New Specialty License Plates On Hold
The state can't sell new license plates to promote special interests and other groups while the federal appeals court considers whether its system for approving those tags is constitutional. A three-judge panel of the Fifth US Circuit Court of Appeals in New Orleans rejected the state's bid to resume selling the tags while the court considers a district judge's ruling. The lawsuit was filed by abortion supporters after the Legislature approved a ``Choose Life'' tag for anti-abortion groups but refused a request for ``Choose Choice.''

Pro-Lifers Attack BBC Bias
The Society for the Protection of Unborn Children (SPUC) has condemned the BBC for "attacking" the Catholic Church's pro-life position.
