PLANNED PARENTHOOD CONDUCTS CLINICAL TRIALS ON UNDERAGE GIRLS OSTENSIBLY 
WITHOUT LEGAL CONSENT

*Washington, DC (06 October 2009)* --  American Life League released a 
recent survey that reveals that at least 10 Planned Parenthood clinical 
trials have been conducted on underage girls as young as 13.

Twenty-eight Planned Parenthood affiliates have been involved in 33 
clinical trials -- some government funded -- 10 of which involved young 
girls. Two of the 33 total trials ended in the 1990s, the remaining 31 
were conducted in the last seven years, and many are still ongoing.

Jim Sedlak, vice president of American Life League, conducted the review.

Two of the trials in which girls as young as 14 participated dealt with 
getting the girls to take birth control consistently by sending them 
text message reminders.

"In most states, minor girls involved in sexual activity is considered 
sex abuse and is illegal," Sedlak said.

Other Planned Parenthood clinical trials involve African-American girls 
as young as 13 and trials to increase the use of "emergency 
contraception" (the morning after pill regimen) among girls as young as 14.

The nation's largest abortion business is also involved in trials on 
medical abortion techniques, birth control techniques, pain reduction 
during abortion, sterilization, and IUD insertion, and a trial assessing 
the safety and efficacy of a new "emergency contraceptive" known as Ella.

Before closing in June 2009, Planned Parenthood of El Paso was involved 
in clinical trials on Hispanic men and women with HIV.  Planned 
Parenthood of New York City is also involved in trials regarding 
delivery of HIV health services.

Planned Parenthood affiliates conducting clinical trials on minors 
include Planned Parenthood of Georgia, Planned Parenthood Mar Monte, 
Planned Parenthood of Central North Carolina, Planned Parenthood League 
of Massachusetts, Planned Parenthood of Maryland, Planned Parenthood of 
Shasta-Diablo, Planned Parenthood Golden Gate, Virginia League of 
Planned Parenthood, Planned Parenthood of New York City, and Planned 
Parenthood of Houston and Southeast Texas.    Other Planned Parenthood 
affiliates involved in the trials are listed in the review.

"As Planned Parenthood continues to spread its tentacles throughout our 
country's health care establishment, it is imperative that it be met 
with resistance at every turn," Sedlak said.  "We encourage everyone who 
lives in the area serviced by the Planned Parenthood affiliates 
mentioned in this report to launch educational campaigns against this 
organization."

*Seizures and Brain Damage Follow HPV Vaccine Injection for U.K. Girl*

By James Tillman

October 6, 2009 (LifeSiteNews.com <http://www.lifesitenews.com/>) - An 
18 year-old U.K. girl has suffered severe brain damage from seizures 
that began after receiving the vaccination Cervarix.

Stacey Jones, 18, of Bilston in the West Midlands of England, began to 
have seizures days after receiving the first injection.  The fits 
eventually caused such severe brain injury that she had to be admitted 
to a rehabilitation unit to relearn simple tasks.

Stacey's mother, Julie Jones, believes that the vaccine Cervarix is 
unsafe and caused the swelling in the brain that has been diagnosed as 
the cause of Stacy's neurological problems.

Cervarix, made by GlaxoSmithKline (GSK), vaccinates patients against 
human papillomavirus (HPV) strains 16 and 18, which is sexually 
transmitted.  It is meant to protect against the later onset of cervical 
cancer, which is caused by these two strains in approximately 70% of cases.

Cervarix also contains the adjuvant AS04, which is designed to stimulate 
the body's immune system to create more antibodies.

Britain's National Health Service (NHS) began vaccinating girls aged 12 
and 13 with Cervarix last year; more than 1.4 million vaccinations have 
been given thus far.  The government of the UK claims that widespread 
vaccination with Cervarix will save 400 lives a year.  The drug is 
recommended by the Department of Health, but it is not compulsory.

There have been more than 4,600 reported adverse reactions to the 
vaccine in the UK.  In addition to seizures, other reported adverse 
effects include paralysis, nausea, blackouts, shivering, headaches, 
muscle weakness, dizziness, fainting, blurred vision, and soreness.  It 
has not yet been approved by the FDA for use in the US.

Cervarix has previously been accused of causing the paralysis from the 
waist down of a 13 year-old girl, Ashleigh Cave, who collapsed 30 
minutes after being given the injection at school.  The girl's mother, 
Cheryl Cave, is planning legal action against the vaccine's producer, 
GlaxoSmithKline.

A 14-year-old also recently died shortly after receiving this 
vaccination, although many claim that she likely died because of a 
pre-existing condition. GSK recalled the batch with which she was 
injected as a precautionary measure.

Dr. Diane Harper, who helped develop the drug, has claimed in an 
interview with the Sunday Express that the drug is being "over marketed" 
and that there could be serious side effects.  The risks of taking the 
vaccination, according to her, could be worse than the risk of 
developing the cancer the vaccine helps prevent.  She also claimed that 
the drug would do nothing to lower rates of cervical cancer.

Last year GlaxoSmithkline (GSK) won a contract with the UK to distribute 
the vaccine.  GSK had been competing with Sanofi-Pasteeur MSD, which was 
marketing the rival vaccine Gardasil, developed by Merck. The government 
saved approximately £18.6m by deciding to use Cervarix rather than 
Gardasil.   Although Gardasil is used more widely than Cervarix, it has 
been linked to numerous serious reactions in the US, including death, 
spontaneous abortion, and Guillain-Barre Syndrome.

Religious organizations and parents have also criticized the 
distribution of Cervarix on the grounds that it will increase 
promiscuity and that the best cure for HPV is simply to practice 
premarital abstinence.

Ambulance Rushes Third Planned Parenthood Abortion Patient to the Hospital

Emergency transports raise alarms about clinic competency and safety

RIVERSIDE, Calif., Oct. 6 /Christian Newswire/ -- A Planned Parenthood 
abortion patient was rushed to the hospital by ambulance on Saturday 
morning, October 3, 2009, according to eyewitnesses who photographed the 
incident.

This is the third reported emergency transport from a Southern 
California Planned Parenthood abortion clinic within the past three 
weeks. Two similar incidents occurred at the Planned Parenthood in 
Orange, California 
<http://rs6.net/tn.jsp?et=1102747726076&s=16890&e=001IPS-QGGEKsy_MfVPAe6uTZaVHk1rC5_8AZlPRWFDdYD-gQoGXf7yo4jgEICQgXBp4g37QAvAl71u0PZeUXGRZ82uH_ImS7WGdGnryFoecBZdBVsnlRzuKB6SFhociBcXhVDYAzwh-_A0jVF9X6jGt49X_ASrw912lVqV_XNC_E3rJyGa53zQAJ660Jg1idLC8pXjL1zJiDYZYNTfZHItt--9zDPaWHcSmzDCy4BFndRB_A-mb4aD_IUSXp53EG86XNsdRgSkoT26ejks7LsjUw==>, 
on September 16 and 26.

According to pro-life sidewalk counselors, first a fire truck arrived at 
the Planned Parenthood abortion clinic in Riverside, California, 
followed by an ambulance with lights on and sirens blaring. Witnesses 
observed that a female patient was removed from the building on a 
gurney. She was loaded into the awaiting ambulance, which sped away 
without the use of lights or sirens.

The woman's condition is unknown.

"Three medical emergencies in three weeks tells us that these Planned 
Parenthood abortion mills are experiencing some grave internal 
problems," said Operation Rescue President Troy Newman. "Whatever their 
problems are, they are placing the lives of women at risk."

Pro-lifers have seen an increase in suspicious activity at the Riverside 
abortion clinic. One sidewalk counselor reported that two security 
guards stood near her with their hands on their guns in an effort to 
intimidate the women who were peacefully offering practical help and 
alternatives to abortion-bound women.

Similar accounts of security personnel using intimidation tactics were 
reported by pro-life activists outside the Planned Parenthood in Orange 
County.

Meanwhile, sidewalk counselors in Orange have made flyers with photos of 
the ambulances at the Planned Parenthood and are handing them out to 
women seeking abortions. The flyers warn women that they could be next.

Since doing this, one activist reported that he was able to turn around 
one, possibly two women from having abortions for the first time in 
several weeks.

"We want to encourage pro-lifers as they stand outside their local 
abortion clinics to be prepared to document incidents by always having a 
camera," said Newman. "The pictures taken by alert sidewalk counselors 
just a few days ago are now saving lives and warning women of the 
dangers of abortion."

"We have never seen a safe abortion clinic - only ones that haven't been 
caught yet," said Newman. "We pray that by exposing these abortion 
injuries and working through the legal system to hold those responsible 
accountable, that the clinics will ultimately close."

*High Court: IL doesn't have to offer 'Choose Life' plates

<http://ss.all.org/link.php?M=18096&N=418&L=2928&F=H>
Chicago Tribune
Illinois need not offer "Choose Life" license plates to motorists, under 
a ruling the Supreme Court let stand Monday. The justices turned down a 
free-speech claim from Choose Life Illinois Inc., a group that supports 
adoption and opposes abortion. It had gathered more than 25,000 
signatures from persons who wanted a "Choose Life" plate, but the state 
refused to issue the specialty plate. State officials said Illinois did 
not want to appear to be taking a position on the abortion issue. Choose 
Life Illinois sued the Secretary of State's office in 2004 after twice 
failing to get the General Assembly to approve a specialty plate that 
would read "Choose Life."

Step aside Jack Kevorkian, there's a new "Dr. Death" in town. Ten years 
after the notorious Michigan doctor was ultimately jailed for killing a 
patient -- one of 130 he helped die through lethal injection -- Philip 
Nitschke, a new renegade physician, is spreading the gospel of assisted 
suicide -- and he's coming to the United States next month. Nitschke is 
the 61-year-old Australian founder and director of the 
pro-assisted-suicide organization, Exit International. (Motto: "A 
Peaceful Death Is Everybody's Right.") Based in Melbourne, Australia, 
the vocal advocacy group has gone beyond the legislative projects of 
other right-to-die organizations, who want to decriminalize euthanasia, 
to develop an array of educational tools for people considering ending 
their lives on their own terms.
