| Pro-Abortion Legislation Blocked in U.S. Senate | Pro-abortion legislation has been blocked in the U.S. Senate, thanks to the work of some stalwart pro-life Senators. Pro-abortion Senate Democratic leader Harry Reid (D-NV) attempted to move forward a "mini-bus," a measure linking together three appropriations bills which had anti-life provisions. Among other things, the bill would have eliminated the ban on taxpayer funding of abortion in the District of Columbia. But, thanks to the work of pro-lifers, the pro-abortion legislative train derailed!

| Company Halts First Embryonic Stem Cell Research Trial | Geron, the company that began the first human trial using destructive embryonic stem cell research, has decided to get out of the embryonic stem cell research business altogether.

| Erie Abortion Facility Dismantled | From People for Life's email newsletter:
A large portion of the real estate that until recently housed Dr. Steven Brigham's dormant abortion facility in Erie was liquidated by sheriff's sale. The abortion facility was comprised of five adjacent but separate suites. The condo association of the 1611 Peach Street Professional Building, where the abortion facility was located, purchased three of the units effectively dismantling the killing facility.
One of the reclaimed suites used to serve as the main office and
reception area of the abortion facility. Another housed the abortion
procedure room itself. The third reclaimed suite served as a makeshift office for the abortion facility's armed security guards and an observation post where a camera was trained on pro-life sidewalk
counselors outside the building. Cameras were frequently used in a completely futile attempt to intimidate local pro-life advocates.
