When I first heard that an abortion facility in Alabama was closing its doors I thought it was because of the economy, but I was blown away when I found out that the State of Alabama is forcing this facility to shut down:
The Alabama Department of Public Health confirms that it will force the closure of a Montgomery area abortion clinic after "numerous and serious violations."
ADPH attorney Pat Ivie confirmed the closure to WSFA 12 News Friday afternoon.
Ivie said a three month-long investigation of Beacon Women’s Center in Montgomery showed serious violations of state health codes.
The 68 page ADPH report [ READ THE FULL REPORT HERE] includes detailed information on violations such as failure to inspect medical equipment, the inability to conduct a controlled drug count during procedures and failure to follow administrative guidelines informing patients of their rights.
During one visit by surveyors, the report indicates that the Registered Nurse on duty was unable to get into the controlled medical cabinet because the Medical Director left the only key in his Selma office. Seventeen patients who were scheduled to have procedures that day were given the option of rescheduling their appointment or going ahead without the use of sedation. All of the patients chose to go ahead with their procedures without sedation.
Bound4LIFE’s Monday Roundup
Each Monday we will brief you on last weeks top 5 blog posts. This is your way to see what the community is talking about and stay up-to-date on the musings and movement of Bound4LIFE.
Matt Lockett, Director of Bound4LIFE, talks about the 40 feet of public property between the street and Planned Parenthood in Washington, DC.

Having dignity for the process of human life is bold and cuts against today’s culture but Polling in Ireland shows a majority of people favor legal protection for human embryonic life.
A mother in Chicago has decided to walk the path of unconditional love and allow her conjoined twins to live even though doctors suggested she abort.
Another Alabama abortion facility has shut down and the last abortion facility in Mississippi looks like it’s on its last leg.
The horse race has begun in Nevada. Pro-life candidate Sharron Angle has a double digit lead over pro-abortion Senate Leader Harry Reid.
Today Gov. Crist vetoed a controversial piece of legislation. His veto is somewhat expectant but highly tragic:
As he positions himself to the center in the U.S. Senate race, Gov. Charlie Crist on Friday vetoed a measure requiring most women to pay for an ultrasound and hear a description of the fetus before they can have an abortion.
"This bill places an inappropriate burden on woman seeking to terminate a pregnancy," Crist said in his veto message.
(…)
The measure would have required most women to have an ultrasound performed before having an abortion, unless the woman can prove she is a victim of rape, incest, domestic violence or human trafficking. Women could opt out of viewing the ultrasound by signing a form.
Your history teacher probably annoyed you saying “those who don’t learn from history are doomed to repeat it. It’s a true statement, though, especially for us as we watch the destruction of millions to abortion. And today my horror rose as I read that Supreme Court nominee Elena Kagan was a part of the very cloning practices I wrote about only last week.
As the Clinton library has released papers about Kagan, the ties between her to the very horrors of the death industry about which I just wrote grows stronger. According to Americans United for Life (AUL), “However, as the memo explains, Kagan’s ‘ban’ on cloning only banned the use of cloning aimed at the live-birth of a baby, not at cloning that takes human life.” That sounds nice enough, but if you recall, the distinction, if you recall, is as AUL says:
“The cloning of human embryos creates living human beings in the earliest stage of development. “Using them for research” means they will be “disaggregated” and killed as part of the research. By endorsing such practices, Kagan demonstrated her disrespect for unborn human life.” (Source)

A timely reminder from the House floor:
Chalk another one up for adult stem cell research:
New reports indicate that real hope for ‘miracle’ treatments using adult stem cells is on the way for those suffering from diseases afflicting both the brain and the heart.
In California, researchers at the University of California in Irvine say they have discovered the method and mechanisms by which adult stem-cells can repair and replace damaged tissue in the brain. The discovery could lead to treatments for individuals with multiple sclerosis and other brain inflammation diseases.
“Previously, we’ve seen that adult neural stem cells injected into the spinal column knew, amazingly, exactly where to go,” said Tom Lane, a professor of molecular biology and biochemistry, and co-author with Kevin Carbajal of the new study. “We wanted to find what directed them to the right injury spots.”
