Alaska - The New Frontier In the Pro-Life Battle

Planned Parenthood was handed 2 big defeats in Alaska last week. The 1st was handed them by the Alaskan Supreme Court that ruled to allow Alaska to voter on a Parental Notification Measure. PP filed suit to stop the initiative. They claimed that the lieutenant governor’s summary of the proposed measure contained on the petitions was confusing and misleading.

Last Wednesday (2 June) the Alaska Supreme Court upheld a trial court’s finding that petitions for a parental notification initiative do not contain confusing & misleading language & are therefore valid. In its opinion in Planned Parenthood of Alaska v. Campbell, the high court wrote, “We agree with the superior court and conclude that the lieutenant governor may place the PNI [parental notification initiative] on the ballot without requiring the sponsors to recirculate the petition.”

Then the governor of Alaska, Sean Parnell, has vetoed SB 13, an expansion of the state’s child health insurance program (CHIP) after he discovered that the program not only pays for elective abortions & but it could end up financing more. The governor said that while he supported the bill in principle, he was shocked to learn that funds were being used to abort “hundreds” of unborn children. "I want to be able to provide those services. But if your governor doesn't stand for life and liberty, as he understands it in his conscience, then you don't have a governor," Parnell said, according to Alaska’s News Tribune.

As LifeSiteNews reports: "Alaskan abortion providers already funnel low-income women toward the program before coming into their clinics: Planned Parenthood of the Great Northwest features on its website a link directing the uninsured to apply for Denali Kid Care. The National Network of Abortion Funds also requests uninsured Alaskan women to pursue the insurance program before seeking from them a loan for an abortion."

What really gets me is how abortion supporters are using the children that do need health care coverage to justify allowing even 1 abortion to be paid for. Sen. Bettye Davis (D-Anchorage), a sponsor of the program’s expansion, asserted that only a handful of unborn children would be aborted in contrast to the hundreds of others that would get health care. If she really cared about the hundreds that would get health care then why not exclude abortion in the 1st place? That answer is simple if you remember the whole abortion industry view of health care does include abortion. That is their solution, kill the child. & let the taxpayers pay for it.

& my description of Sen. Davis is simple. This view of hers show me that she is a cold hearted b**ch. She doesn't care about the kids, she just cares about helping her buddies in the abortion industry make more blood money.
