Gonzales obstructed enforcement of the Partial Birth Abortion Ban Act Washington, DC - Alberto Gonzales has resigned today as United States Attorney General. Operation Rescue calls on President George Bush to appoint a replacement that will immediately enforce the Partial Birth Abortion Ban Act. "We are not sorry at all to see Gonzales resign," said Operation Rescue President Troy Newman. "Since the Supreme Court ruled that the Federal ban on partial-birth abortions is constitutional, Gonzales has done nothing but obstruct enforcement. In fact, we don't think the temporary restraining order barring the ban from going into effect has even been vacated." "Right now we don't know who is doing this illegal late-term abortion procedure. There has been no investigation or any attempt to find out if the abortionists are following the law," said Newman. "We call on President Bush to appoint an Attorney General who will enforce the ban and investigate ...

Sidewalk counselors save one baby as Lowe’s delivers building materials Wichita, KS – Abortionist George R. Tiller reopened his late-term abortion mill today for early term patients after having been closed a record total of 38 days. Abortionist LeRoy Carhart reported for work this morning and pro-life supporters observed six women enter the abortion clinic for abortions, far below the usual numbers. Sidewalk Counselor Donna Lampkin reports that one baby was spared when a couple changed their minds about abortion at the gate of the clinic and became resolved to keep their baby. “While the death of every baby is a tragedy, we rejoice in the one life that was spared, and are relieved that more children were not scheduled for death today,” said Operation Rescue spokesperson Cheryl Sullenger. A delivery truck from Lowe’s Home Improvement Store was seen delivering a load of drywall and other materials. Tiller supporters maintain that the clinic’s closure was due to damage sustained during a...

Late - term abortionist George Tiller has his hands full these days - not only is he faced with criminal charges for performing illegal late -term abortions, but he just can't seem to hire and retain help at his Wichita office anymore. Who would have guessed? From Operation Rescue : Tiller published an ad in the Sunday Edition of the Wichita Eagle on July 8, 2007, advertising a clerical position. “Must be Pro-Choice!” the ad emphatically stated. There appeared to be no other qualifications required for the job. It is becoming increasingly harder for Tiller to find new workers,” said Operation Rescue President Troy Newman. “Now that he is facing 19 criminal counts for illegal abortions, those that work for him must be wondering if they are going down with a sinking ship, and if Tiller’s alleged criminality will implicate them in some way. Anyone new has to be crazy to step into that mess.” Tiller typically employs about a dozen office workers. Operation Rescue has conducted routine ...
