Columbia Missourian
The Missouri House on Tuesday voted 115-43 to approve an amendment that 
would allow pharmacies to refuse to dispense emergency contraception or 
fill prescriptions, the Columbia Missourian reports. According to the 
Missourian, the bill specifically mentions the emergency contraceptive 
Plan B and mifepristone. The amendment, sponsored by state Rep. Ed Emery 
(R), prohibits lawsuits against pharmacies that do not carry the drugs 
and prevents the state from revoking the licenses of pharmacies that do 
not supply the medications. In addition, the amendment stipulates that 
pharmacies would not be required to advise people on how to obtain the 
medications. According to the
AP/Springfield News-Leader, Missouri's Senate already approved the 
original bill (S.B 296), which involves professional licensing regulations.

Prolifers Arrested at Notre Dame During Peaceful Protest

SOUTH BEND, Ind., May 1 /Christian Newswire/ -- "On Friday, May 1, 
during the Board of Trustees and Board of Fellows meeting, five prolife 
activists pushing strollers containing bloodied baby dolls with Obama 
bumper stickers were forced to leave Notre Dame. Two of the five were 
arrested; the others were asked to stop their protest.

"If the murder of one class of citizens were not legal in our country, 
then our fight would be unnecessary. However, the mass murder of the 
unborn is sanctioned by our legal system, with the full encouragement 
and support of the President and the silence of the American people," 
one of the activists explained.

"Notre Dame cares more about its reputation than being true to its 
Catholic identity," said Randall Terry. "If a man said he was going to 
kill your child, or pay to have it killed, would you politely ask him 
not to? These are real human beings that are aborted every day. Our 
strollers are intended to yell, 'PLEASE STOP."

More anti-Obama demonstrations are planned for tomorrow and the 
following days leading up to the May 17 Commencement. Catholics and 
prolife people across the country are working to prevent Obama from 
speaking there.
