Police yesterday recovered two dead bodies of infants from a dustbin behind a meat stall in Kotahena. "Police are conducting investigations to ascertain whether they were born dead or killed", Kotahena Police told the Daily News last night. The dead bodies were found when a Municipal worker was cleaning the dustbin. Thereafter, he had informed the Police about the discovery. "One baby is well grown and there were no deforms in both of them. We are also investigating whether there is an abortion clinic that is operating in the area", Police said.

PA Abortionist's Suit Given Go-Ahead

A King of Prussia abortion provider will be allowed to argue in federal court that Upper Merion Township violated the facility's constitutional rights by selectively enforcing the zoning code. Associates in Obstetrics and Gynecology, which did business as American Women's Services, claims the township cited it for a zoning provision that restricts clinics to sites of three or more acres solely because the facility provided abortions. American Women's Services filed the federal civil-rights lawsuit in April against the township Board of Supervisors, the Zoning Hearing Board, the township manager and the township zoning officer.

San Francisco's Proposed Buffer Zone Law
Would Chill Protesters' Free Speech Rights

Anti-abortion advocates in San Francisco would have a tougher time getting their message out to the patients, staff and volunteers entering and leaving abortion clinics under a proposed anti-harassment law headed to the Board of Supervisors for consideration. The proposal would shift the burden to protesters to get the consent of people before they approach to hand them a leaflet, display a sign or engage in oral protest or counseling. They would have to ask for permission from outside an 8-foot buffer zone. The law would apply within 100 feet of a health clinic.

South Korea Kicks Out Human Cloning Sect Chief

South Korea kicked out the leader of a religious sect that claimed it had produced the first cloned human, amid fears he may engage in human-cloning activities during his stay. Claude Vorilhon, the founder of the Raelian movement, was turned away after arriving at Incheon International Airport, west of Seoul, for a 17-day visit, the justice ministry said.

Controlling the Court

When Roe v. Wade was issued, conservatives made the mistake of accepting it as legitimate and proposing such “solutions” as new amendments. The proper response would have been to demand the impeachment of the justices who had voted to usurp the powers reserved to the states under the Tenth Amendment. If the power to protect the innocent from violence isn’t such a power, what on earth is? In the sodomy case too, the Court has flagrantly exceeded its authority. If usurpation isn’t grounds for impeachment, we may as well burn the Constitution. Amending the Constitution is a cumbersome process, far too difficult to make it a useful corrective to usurpation. That’s what impeachment is for: to remove from office those who violate their own oaths to uphold the Constitution. It isn’t a criminal proceeding; it’s merely a measure to protect the people from those in power.

Aiding and Abating Abortion Seekers

A network of women in New York provides temporary shelter to women who have no where to stay while they are in the city to undergo second-trimester abortions. Shauna Shames often lets complete strangers sleep on her New York sofa bed. She cooks for them too. And she quietly arranges for others in the city to do the same. Shames does this because she believes that money should not interfere with a woman's right to have her baby ripped to pieces from her womb.

Preliminary Hearings Not Closed Very Often

MODESTO -- Closing a preliminary hearing, as Scott Peterson's defense attorneys have asked, is rare but not unheard of in California, according to legal observers. Several scholars had to look back to 1982 before recalling a preliminary hearing that banned the public and press. That case, in which Riverside County nurse Robert Diaz was convicted of 12 counts of murder for giving patients lethal doses of a heart medication, has set the legal standard for closing a preliminary hearing.

Teen Charged With Murder In Baby's Death

ASHEVILLE - Police charged a 16-year-old Asheville man with first-degree murder late Sunday night in the death of a 3-month-old infant at Pisgah View Apartments. Princeston Christopher Randall, who gave a Pisgah View Apartments address, is accused in the death of Angel Divine Randall, according to warrants. Randall was also charged with one count of felony child abuse. Randall was being held in the Buncombe County jail without bond on the murder charge. He was being held on in lieu of a $100,000 bond on the child abuse charge. Randall's relationship to the child was unclear Sunday night.

Frey Described As Complex, Quiet Woman

Six months ago, Amber Frey stepped before a phalanx of reporters at the Modesto Police Department and made this plea: "I would appreciate my friends and acquaintances to refrain from talking about me to the media for profit or recognition," the 28-year-old Fresno woman said at the news conference where she announced that she had been Scott Peterson's mystery girlfriend. Today, Frey's voice remains a distant echo from January's news conference. She has stayed mostly silent since then, providing few clues or comments about herself, even as the tabloids have poked into her private life and one published nude and seminude photos that she posed for as an aspiring model.

Public Lacks Access To Medical Malpractice Case Files

TRENTON, N.J. -- More than 4,000 New Jersey doctors have at least one malpractice judgment or sanction against them, but their identities are commonly known only to hospitals and regulatory bodies _ not patients. Physician malpractice is difficult to track in New Jersey, in part because a federal data bank is inaccessible to the public. In addition, The Sunday Record of Bergen County found that hospitals rarely report problem physicians to the National Practitioner Data Bank, even though federal law requires them to do so.

Malpractice In Doctors' Past Gets Lost In The System

Fist clenched in anger, Howard Grabelle joined protesting doctors on the streets of New Jersey this year, demanding that state lawmakers limit malpractice awards. It's the best way to keep good doctors in business, he insists. Grabelle has good reason to push for such reform. He's a physician who made repeated malpractice payouts. Over 12 years, his insurers have laid out at least $2.3 million in six cases - to a couple whose baby died, to a husband who lost his wife, to the families of injured children. In New Jersey, questions about a doctor's competence most often go unanswered - and even avoided - by regulators, insurers, hospitals, and courts. It's easier to sanction a doctor for fraud than for botched surgery.

West Virginia TV Ad Warn Women That
Bad Habits Can Harm Their Babies

MORGANTOWN, W.Va. -- It's a scene that seldom needs to be staged: Two women in jeans, puffing and sipping the hours away in a crowded bar. But this time, it's staged. A makeup artist dabs, fluffs and spritzes the blond, 20-something actresses as dozens of extras trickle past the camera crew and into Crockett's Lounge.

Safety of Antidepressant Drugs Questioned

Concerns about side effects from popular anti-depressants such as Paxil and Zoloft have some questioning the safety of the prescription drugs. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration is reviewing reports that a class of antidepressant drugs, which includes Paxil and Zoloft, causes suicidal thinking in children. This precautionary action by the FDA has ignited concerns in some people about the safety of drugs classified as Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors (SSRIs).

Fetal-Rights Debate Contains Shades of Gray

CHICAGO — The issue of abortion has divided Americans for decades, but questions about science and justice have blurred the lines for a woman who finds herself fighting for an issue that would seem to contradict her personal views. Tracy Marciniak supports abortion rights, but has become a champion of pro-life groups since losing her unborn son Zachariah five days from her due date. Marciniak lost the baby when her then-husband Glendale Black punched her in the stomach.

Reports On Starving Adds To Euthanasia Debate

In the rancorous debate over murdering people by euthanasia, assisted suicide and other ways people murder themselves -- doctors note that one option is always legal: A so called "sane, alert person" can simply refuse to eat or drink.

Sex Education Plan Draws Fire From Right To Life

There has been criticism from Right to Life groups about a proposal to increase sex education in primary schools as a way of reducing Australia's abortion rate. Family Planning Australia made the suggestion after a University of Western Australia study found abortion the second main reason why young women are admitted to hospital. But the Right to Life Association (RTLA) says children should be taught about abstinence and that it is the role of parents to educate about sex.

USAID Recognizes Training Program Participants

The Deputy Chief of Mission of the U.S. Embassy, Mr. Thomas N. Hull, a week ago yesterday congratulated 152 participants of training programs funded by the United States Agency for International Development (USAID), according to the American Embassy here. Since USAID/Ethiopia began its program in the early 1950s, some 2,480 Ethiopians have benefited from the USAID-sponsored overseas training. This year’s participants received training in agriculture and natural resources; health, population and nutrition; education; and democracy and governance. Of the total 152 participants, 56 are female.
