New Jersey authorities have responded to a request by pro-lifers to investigate a suspicious arrangement between two abortionists. Marie Tasy of New Jersey Right to Life says the organization filed complaints about two notorious abortionists, Steven Brigham and Vikram H. Kaji. Brigham, who has lost or surrendered his medical license in several states, ran into problems in New Jersey where he owns six abortion clinics. Tasy says that's because the Department of Consumer Affairs and the Board of Medical Examiners started proceedings to revoke Brigham's license. "This all came to light when they performed an abortion on a woman and...

Pro-life Governor...

New Jersey Right to Life recently produced audit reports that show Planned Parenthood is one of several reproductive health clinics linked to incorrectly billing the state for services unrelated to family planning. The reports were released in reaction to state lawmakers' efforts to overturn Gov. Chris Christie's recent veto of a bill that would restore funding to pro-abortion clinics. In July, Gov. Christie vetoed a bill from New Jersey lawmakers who were seeking to restore $7.5 million in funding to Planned Parenthood after the governor made budget cuts to address the state's $11 billion deficit. According to New Jersey Right...

Here Come the Jersey Clones A devastating bill inches toward law. The U.S. Congress remains practically agnostic on human cloning. Or so its inaction suggests. A bill sits in the House of Representatives waiting to face debate. A Senate bill sponsored by Senator Sam Brownback, too, waits in the wings. The president issued a challenge to the legislative branch to get moving during his State of the Union address last week, and to get moving toward a total prohibition on all human cloning — not some half-baked ban that would, in the end, let the clone creation march onward anyway;...

    December 30, 2005Dear Pro-Life Friends:Below is a link to two articles which detail how the FDA is investigating one New Jersey Biomedical company for the illegal use of human body parts, tissue and skin. http://njrtl.org/content/newsletter_details.asp?ArticleID=1071http://njrtl.org/content/newsletter_details.asp?ArticleID=1067These article demonstrates that  “harvesting” and trafficking of human body parts does indeed exist in New Jersey.    Firms like this will no doubt flourish under NJ’s clone and kill law which authorizes “reasonable value” for the  “removal, processing, disposal, preservation, quality control, storage, transplantation, or implantation of embryonic or cadaveric fetal tissue, ‘ cultivated’ through the cloning technique, ‘somatic cell nuclear transplantation.’”     Another item...

Spinal Cord Patient Speaks out: Embryonic stem cell helps patents not patients Embryonic stem cells help patents, not patientsJEAN SWENSON A battle is raging between embryonic and adult stem cell research. What are stem cells and why should we care?Stem cells, found in humans throughout their lifespan (including embryos), can divide and change into specialized cells. Researchers hope to use stem cells for human treatments, and we must decide which research deserves our financial support.Embryonic stem cells (ESCs) used for research are extracted from 5- to 6-day-old embryos and then multiplied. Under normal conditions, ESCs would eventually develop into...

<p>Every time there's an election in New Jersey these days, the Republican Party finds itself caught in the middle of a loud and very public battle between the pro-lifers and the pro-choicers. The result is pro-Democrat.</p> <p>Is there any chance of this ending soon? I doubt it. The problem here is that many people mistakenly assume that the pro-life movement is a natural outgrowth of conservative philosophy and that it therefore belongs in the Republican Party.</p>
