/*45% of doctors would consider quitting if Congress passes health care 
overhaul*
/Two out of every three practicing physicians oppose the medical 
overhaul plan under consideration in Washington, and hundreds of 
thousands would think about shutting down their practices or retiring 
early if it were adopted, a new IBD/TIPP Poll has found.

*PFLI Note:* one would hope similar or higher numbers of pharmacists 
have shared sentiments.

/*Hormone therapy nearly doubles risk of death from lung cancer, study says*
/Hormone replacement therapy, similar to the hormones in the so-called 
"birth control" pill, and already linked to increased risk of breast 
cancer, heart disease and stroke, nearly doubles a woman's risk of dying 
from lung cancer, researchers reported Saturday in a finding that may be 
the final blow for a therapy that is already in rapidly declining use.

Abortionist Carhart's Criminal Investigation Underway

LINCOLN, Neb., Sept. 28 /Christian Newswire/ -- Operation Rescue has 
received word that criminal investigators from the Attorney General's 
office are in the process of interviewing former abortion employees that 
submitted affidavits blowing the whistle on illegal activity at LeRoy 
Carhart's Bellevue abortion clinic.

One of the former workers contacted Operation Rescue and told Troy 
Newman and Cheryl Sullenger that she had been interviewed last week.

"We are encouraged that the Attorney General's office is taking the 
allegations against Carhart seriously and are in the process of 
investigating this case," said Operation Rescue President Troy Newman. 
"Mr. Bruning seems to be a man of integrity and we believe that he will 
enforce the law once he is convinced that the laws have been broken. We 
are confident that once the investigation is completed, the Attorney 
General will find there is more than enough evidence on which to bring 
criminal charges."

Operation Rescue, along with Rescue the Heartland, Nebraskans United For 
Life, and the Christian Defense Coalition, filed a formal request for an 
investigation 
<http://rs6.net/tn.jsp?et=1102732234686&s=16890&e=001xWx8A0SSWh_VYrDxvWQK0AG7eorsINpcnI5oVHtpzOlgav4BJTsxdqTuEGb0Hvk2UjhxTXr3d3BoQInFqvwOxb2HURe59qqXxQ2-K9HUZPINIPEBXDBRvT4667j-TF7ZDBScL7R87b2QskxpamciOrveNxLwLn-5nPrECH9rFeLRtlTNg3gwOODhzTElrcM5n7VXfL4sGJ9x7Q0d4kDQrIodSUibCQSB_NI2XpsLAFcOx81uauV2dzLv-gIA79uB> 
in July. That request was forwarded to the Department of Health and 
Human Services, which maintains oversight of clinics and physicians.

On the day that Operation Rescue announced that it had been informed 
that a DHHS investigation

was being monitored by the Attorney General's office, Carhart "laid off" 
nearly half of his abortion clinic staff 
<http://rs6.net/tn.jsp?et=1102732234686&s=16890&e=001xWx8A0SSWh8p-vURRt0MmXj2BD1yg_0tmWnMnhCQhvw4eyl-hgR9diRpZ6b7G61C_7YHsceaLtPInpTmwqcWezZQ7XS2QBceleiO3OaI5We2mkg4sE5YRtEhgYN1ddb9bZQJ2CPTE53Qg4xh0JoRM9UFH5BO3ZQsL9vSxcdVp7i4Katw4dUGIA7n4c6U58EAPQO7KxhrUAQpKSJT6FBDrA==>.

Some of those women went to the press 
<http://rs6.net/tn.jsp?et=1102732234686&s=16890&e=001xWx8A0SSWh_Zz2xoZuzhU8e6axqSwDcLr0jZvRuberaJULBBLVRbjaQPARz4Q1wHAC2fCOsO4tr44swh4OrBT_3RRnh3UMTnGfzJAlo8nZIf09D_1RsWGcopkPxr7ycwuV-e_rYg2uGzWxUEe5mhj9PWdECUnp0Q> 
with their stories of illegal activity by Carhart. Three of his former 
employees, some of which were not involved in the lay- offs, contacted 
Operation Rescue and Rescue the Heartland and agreed to submit 
affidavits to the Attorney General and the DHHS 
<http://rs6.net/tn.jsp?et=1102732234686&s=16890&e=001xWx8A0SSWh9Y8GL1OyGegmyRYMj8C2I1O55PV4EzgblfSEcHBeVz6ZI3yLcu0hFrPukbasnpHgSTySzB1E4TZoLGX5QeWwm3IuukYWgEBbdxLnt5F3UWzzT6QSzBh_p8b6efXSHS4hMC9mPPMX00up7spXn-qmIuzLzN1li6iwODlHvsYYV_-WlIhiURJZ167Ty3-KUoRWo=>.

Later, a fourth former employee

came forward and gave a sworn statement with similar accusations of 
wrong-doing.

All of the women said that they did not have any medical training or 
licensing, yet they were instructed to perform medical duties that they 
were not legally qualified to do, such as starting IVs, dispensing 
medication, and assisting with surgeries. They claimed that drugs often 
came up missing, and that there was a general uncleanness about the 
facility, including the discovery of dried blood on instruments that had 
been laid out for surgery.

Some of the women claimed that they believed that Carhart was often 
chemically impaired while on duty, that he had poor personal hygiene, 
and that he rarely if ever washed his hands between patients.

*Planned Parenthood Deserves the ACORN Treatment*

For James O'Keefe, the sequel has been a blockbuster. As almost everyone 
knows by now, the investigative journalist and a friend secretly filmed 
themselves posing as a pimp and prostitute while ACORN workers advised 
them how to obtain a mortgage for a brothel of Latin American sex 
slaves. But lost in the deserved attention to the ACORN sting film has 
been O'Keefe's first release, a 2007 expose of the systemic corruption 
at another liberal activist organization, Planned Parenthood.

      NIH Issues New Stem Cell Research Guidelines

The National Institutes of Health (NIH) today released draft guidelines 
that permit federal funding for research on stem cells from human 
embryos set to be discarded by fertility clinics. Under the new regs, 
the agency would fund studies on embryos created in test tubes --- but 
no longer needed --- for reproductive purposes, adult stem cells and 
induced pluripotent stem cells (skin or other adult cells that are 
nudged back into their pluripotent state, when they have the potential 
to become any cell type). Fertility patients would have to consent to 
their leftover embryos being donated for research.
