We cheer HB2564, the Abortion Consent Act, signed into law by Gov. Jan Brewer, which implements a variety of changes to statutes related to abortion – including modifying the existing parental notification and judicial bypass requirements that apply when a minor is seeking an abortion.
The law sets new requirements that physicians must follow when obtaining written informed consent of patients seeking abortions. It also allows certain health professionals to abstain from having to facilitate or participate in an abortion or provide abortion medication.
Former Gov. Janet Napolitano, a Democrat and abortion advocate, had vetoed all pro-life bills sent to her.

An interesting Primary is shaping up in Legislative District 4, giving voters an unusually clear choice. Tony Bouie, the lifelong Democrat who opportunistically registered as a Republican just five days prior to opening his 2008 campaign for a Dist. 6 House seat, is back in campaign mode.
Bouie has reportedly said that he is targeting Rep. Judy Burges — the # 1 PAChyderm rated member of the Arizona House.
Term-limited LD 4 Sen. Jack Harper is running to join Rep. Burges in the House. Adding to the kafuffle Rep. Tom Boone has now filed an exploratory committee against announced candidate Scott Bundgaard, who is running for the senate in the district.
Anyone need a scorecard? The line forms on the right.
One of our readers took this video during the July 4th Gilbert Tea Party. He wrote that the impressive turnout of citizens who took time to participate made him proud. It makes us proud, also. We are delighted to display his fine handiwork.
….and honoring those 56brave men who had the vision and strength of character to challenge authority and affix their signatures to the Declaration of Independence.
Before affixing their signatures to the Declaration of Independence, the Founders included this memorable line:
And for the support of this Declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of Divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes and our sacred Honor
Nineteen pro-life House Democrats have signed a letter to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) expressing their opposition to any health care reform that includes abortion funding.
“We cannot support any health-care reform proposal unless it explicitly excludes abortion from the scope of any government-defined or subsidized health insurance plan. Plans to mandate coverage for abortions, either directly or indirectly (are) unacceptable.
We want to ensure that the Health Benefits Advisory Committee cannot recommend abortion services be included under covered benefits or as part of benefits package. Without an explicit exclusion, abortion could be included in a government subsidized health care plan under general health care,” they wrote.
Taxpayer dollars are already going toward programs that fund abortion. Planned Parenthood alone consumes about $349 million a year in federal and state tax subsidies, CNS News reports.
The PAChyderm Coalition, a Reagan Republican organization, has just released its weekly cumulative evaluations of legislators. The assessment is updated weekly until the conclusion of the legislative session. This list reflects legislative actions as of 6/27/09. It was last updated 6/30/09.
Along with the evaluations, Howard Levine writes: There has been a flurry of activity as the session comes to a close. Most scores were fairly stable, but some legislators had large changes in their scores because of some of their votes or because they did not vote. In the Senate, the general trend is that those at the bottom saw fairly large increases and those at the top are slightly lower than last week. The general trend in the House was very little change with some improvement of the lowest scorers. We’ll see what happens in the final two days of the session.
Among today’s letters to the editor in the daily newspaper was this offering by Amy Helseth, a self-described tenured third-grade teacher.
Her thoughtful letter is besieged with comments which can be seen following her opinion piece. The commenters take her to task, question her veracity, and pointedly remind her that the phraseology that is currently in use is “continuing status” rather than the word “tenure.”
Longtime educators choose to obscure the term, aware of the negative regard in which the policy of a permanent job guarantee is held — particularly in today’s uncertain employment climate, with so many American workers losing their jobs and homes.
