"In this profession, we see all kinds of things, like people using witchcraft, to whatever pills they can get their hands on," said a doctor, who charges about $45 to carry out abortions in women's homes.
He spoke on condition that his name not be used, because performing an abortion in Colombia can lead to a prison term of more than four years.
"They open themselves up to incredible risks, from losing their reproductive systems or, through complications, their lives," the doctor said.
Such arguments have done little to sway an anti-abortion movement that is largely led by influential leaders of the Roman Catholic Church.
Four million abortions, most of them illegal, take place in Latin America annually, the United Nations reports, and up to 5,000 women are believed to die each year from complications from abortions.

A judge already ruled that the project is a necessity and that the company has the right to take their land.

in 2000, the abortion rate among poor women was still four times higher than for women making $30,000 a year

Donofrio argues that the "birth certificate" and "Indonesia" issues are irrelevant to Obama's eligibility to serve as President. The framers recognized that EVEN THEY were not "natural born citizens." That's why they included a grandfather clause to allow any of them to become President. Donofrio argues that the word "born" constitutes proof positive that the framers intended that status as a "citizen" must be present at birth, since if this was not the intent there would have been no need for the grandfather clause. Dual citizenship at time of birth (British/US) was allowed for the framers themselves under the grandfather clause, but for no one else. Hence, argues Donofrio, Obama is not a natural born citizen, and even if he produces an original birth certificate proving he was born in Hawaii it will not change the fact that he was a British citizen at birth. These are matters of core Constitutional eligibility,

2. Securing Rights
"The principles of government... [are] founded in the rights of man." "It is to secure our rights that we resort to government at all." "The idea is quite unfounded that on entering into society we give up any natural right." "[These are] the rights which God and the laws have given equally and independently to all." "[Montesquieu wrote in Spirit of the Laws, VIII,c.3:] 'In the state of nature, indeed, all men are born equal; but they cannot continue in this equality. Society makes them lose it, and they recover it only by the protection of the laws.'" "[It is the obligation] of every government to yield protection to their citizens as the consideration for their obedience."

Coin shortages are nothing new. A few months before running out of gold Eagles, the US Mint had to ration silver Eagles. Why are coin shortages so common? Governments typically blame unexpected changes in demand. But suppliers of all sorts of other goods manage to avoid running out Yet governments routinely punish private firms that try to issue their own distinct coins. During the gold rush, for instance, no fewer than 15 private mints went into business, Private coiners played a still bigger role in Great Britain's Industrial Revolution

The greatest threat to our freedoms—and our bank accounts—may not lurk outside our borders. Rather, it prowls among us, in the form of a government of wolves. In this weeks vodcast, John W. Whitehead takes aim at Congress for its blatant disregard for the rights of the American taxpayer.

1. Inalienable Rights The Nature and Source of Our Rights "Under the law of nature, all men are born free, every one comes into the world with a right to his own person, which includes the liberty of moving and using it at his own will. This is what is called personal liberty, and is given him by the Author of nature, because necessary for his own sustenance."
"Can the liberties of a nation be thought secure when we have removed their only firm basis, a conviction in the minds of the people that these liberties are of the gift of God? That they are not to be violated but with His wrath?"

A wonderful tool is now available that can assist in reaching every Sheriff in every county in this country. The Sheriff: Powers and Responsibilities of Elected Peace Officers is a video available from the Americans Citizens & Lawmen Association. these good folks have made it very easy to reach out and touch your local Sheriff with the truth and remind them, via presentations from Sheriffs and a former U.S. Congresswoman, about the history of freedom and about the oath they take once they're elected. Never again, not in this country. I hope you will participate in this worthy effort because some day in the not too distant future, you might wish your local Sheriff had been able to watch this video from ACLA. America is truly in crisis. Our fight is for none but the brave. Your local Sheriff needs to know you will support him/her, but only if they uphold their oath. This video will help them to understand the proper role of a county Sheriff.

The weight of expectation that rests today on the frame of a 47-year-old senator with no real executive experience is too great for one man and, in all probability, too large for one term of office. But if the stakes for Barack Obama are high, so too is the opportunity. Jimmy Carter argued it would take no more than 10 minutes to change America's global image the next president should promise not to torture another prisoner, not to attack another country unless America's security was directly threatened, to honour international agreements and do the right thing on climate change America, welcome back into the world.

Nuclear weapons manufacturers urged to resign following university visit Representatives of the Atomic Weapons Establishment near Aldermaston in East Berkshire have met calls for their resignation after they visited the University of Birmingham to recruit students into the development and manufacture of weapons of mass destruction Two weeks ago the Anglican Bishop of Reading, Stephen Cottrell, welcomed trainee ministers to services of lamentation at the Atomic Weapons Establishment at Aldermaston in Berkshire, where Trident missile warheads are made for British military submarines. 30 staff and students from the Queen’s Foundation and the University of Birmingham also attended. "We...denounce the nuclear weapons industry in the name of our common humanity and for the sake of our shared hope Far from seeking to attract people to join your ranks, you yourselves should offer your resignation in the interests of national prosperity and the cause of peace for all humanity.
