The young woman says she will sue the pharmacy if she becomes pregnant. Kerrie Gooch, 24, is the mother of two and went to a Lloyds Pharmacy in Swindon, England to obtain the drug that some consider to work as an abortifacient. However, the pharmacist on duty, whose name was not released, told Gooch that he would not dispense the drug because he is Catholic and believed it sometimes works to cause an early abortion of a new pregnancy. There was no other pharmacist on hand to fill the prescription, though Gooch was able to obtain the drug at another pharmacy later that day. Gooch plans to sue and told the Daily Mirror newspaper, "What gives him the right to play God?" "Everyone is entitled to an opinion but I don't want someone making a decision like this for me," Gooch added. However, Andy Murdock, Lloyds' pharmacy director, told the Daily Mirror newspaper that the pharmacist "objected on religious grounds, which he is fully within his rights to do." ******************************************************************************************************************* ******* item 2 THIS IS JUST A LUMP OF TISSUE? ******* From: [email protected] ******* Date: Tue, 29 Jun 2004 06:18:07 EDT ******* Scans uncover secrets of the womb http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/health/3846525.stm ******* A new type of ultrasound scan has produced the vivid pictures of a 12 week-old foetus "walking" in the womb. The new images also show foetuses apparently yawning and rubbing its eyes. ******* The scans, pioneered by Professor Stuart Campbell at London's Create Health Clinic, are much more detailed than conventional ultrasound. ******* Professor Campbell has previously released images of unborn babies appearing to smile. ******* He has compiled a book of the images called Watch Me Grow. ******* Conventional ultrasound, usually offered to mothers at 12 and 20 weeks, produces 2D images of the developing foetus. ******* These are very useful for helping doctors to measure and assess the growth of the foetus, but convey very little information about behaviour. ******* Complex behaviour ******* Professor Campbell has perfected a technique which not only produces detailed 3D images, but records foetal movement in real time. ******* He says his work has been able to show for the first time that the unborn baby engages in complex behaviour from an early stage of its development. ******* Professor Campbell told the BBC: "This is a new science for understanding and mapping out the behaviour of the baby. ******* "Maybe in the future it will help us understand and diagnose genetic disease, maybe even conditions like cerebral palsy which puzzles the medical profession as to why it occurs." ******* The images have shown: ******* From 12 weeks, unborn babies can stretch, kick and leap around the womb - well before the mother can feel movement ******* From 18 weeks, they can open their eyes although most doctors thought eyelids were fused until 26 weeks ******* From 26 weeks, they appear to exhibit a whole range of typical baby behaviour and moods, including scratching, smiling, crying, hiccoughing, and sucking. Until recently it was thought that smiling did not start until six weeks after birth. ******* An hour long session using the new technology, which is not yet available on the NHS, costs �275. ******************************************************************************************************************* ******* item 3 BRITISH DOCTORS BACK MEDICAL CARE FOR BABIES WHO SURVIVE BOTCHED ABORTIONS ******* by Paul Nowak, LifeNews.com Staff Writer, July 6, 2004 ******* London, England (LifeNews.com) -- Members of the British Medical Association (BMA) adopted a proposal late last week that requires physicians to gives babies that survive abortions the same care as any other infant. ******* Ibukumoluwago Adedugbe, a medical student from Imperial College, in London, called on members to recognize that abortion survivors should receive "the same full neonatal care as that available to other babies." ******* "If the child is alive, then surely it has rights," Adedugbe argued, stating that the issue was not the morality of abortion but how doctors treat infants that live in spite of the abortion attempt. ******* A majority of members, 65.3 percent, agreed, while 34.7 percent opposed the proposal. ******* Current guidelines from the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists state that the unborn child should receive a lethal injection to the heart before delivery to ensure the infant does not survive. ******* Approximately 1 percent of all abortions in the UK result in a baby born alive, according to Adedugbe. Even abortions performed before 24 weeks have resulted in some live births. ******* Yet such infants are often left to die without life support or comfort. ******* "In one instance, a terminated baby lived unsustained without even life support for three days," Adedugbe told the BMA. "We need a policy that gives a distinctly clear code of practice for our members to follow and one that sends out a clear message at a time when the public needs to be reassured that we are a caring profession." ******* "We are absolutely delighted that the motion passed," said a spokesman for the ProLife party. ******* In a statement, the Society for the Protection of Unborn Children, a British pro-life group, said, "Surviving an abortion should not be seen as a mistake but as an opportunity. It should bring home in the first place that we should not be carrying out abortions in a civilized society." ******************************************************************************************************************* ******* item 4 RO-LIFE CANDIDATES IN WALES GET ARRESTED FOR ABORTION PHOTOS ******* From: LifeSite Daily News via "D.Fernandes" ******* CARDIFF, April 25, 2003 (LifeSiteNews.com) - Fiona Pinto and Joseph Biddulph, two candidates for the Pro-life Party in the upcoming May 1 Welsh election, have been arrested for showing a picture of an aborted baby. They were charged with a Public Order Offence. ******* In a statement they said; "Democracy assures citizens of the right to freedom of speech, and never is that freedom more precious than at the time of political elections. It is both extraordinary and shameful that the police have chosen to press charges." ******* Speaking in support of its candidates, the ProLife Party said it would "continue its battle to strip the blindfold from the reluctant eyes of the nation." ******* See the local coverage at: http://www.ekklesia.co.uk/content/news_syndication/article_2003_04_24_pr olife.shtml ******************************************************************************************************** ******* item 5 BRITISH MEDICAL ASSOCIATION OPPOSES EUTHANASIA AND ASSISTED SUICIDE ******* From: Alex Schadenberg via "Suzanne Fortin" ******* Date: Fri, 30 Jun 2006 ******* This is the information provided by the Care NOT Killing coalition in the UK ******* This is excellent news. Last year the British Medical Association (BMA) decided to take a neutral stand on assisted suicide. The BMA tremendously incluences the Canadian Medical Association (CMA). The renewal of opposition by the BMA gives us great hope in Canada that the CMA will not move to neutralize its position on assisted suicide. ******* Alex Schadenberg - Euthanasia Prevention Coalition ******* Latest on British Medical Association vote opposing physician-assisted suicide and euthanasia ******* June 29, 2006 ******* Today, the British Medical Association voted overwhelmingly to oppose the legalisation of physician-assisted suicide and euthanasia. Commenting on this result, the campaign director of Care NOT Killing, Dr. Peter Saunders,said: ******* "This is a fantastic result for the many organisations campaigning against euthanasia. It is a very important result in terms of political and public opinion. It means that the medical profession in the UK is now firmly united in its opposition to any form of euthanasia or physician-assisted suicide. This sends a very clear message to the public and to MPs � doctors who care for dying patients understand the serious dangers that would arise from legalising euthanasia. They have come a clear conclusion today at the BMA conference that legalised killing would create more problems than it would solve. ******* "Their verdict - that we need better palliative care for the terminally ill - sends a clear message that what we need to do is to kill the pain and not the patient. The argument that decided this vote and the similar vote in the House of Lords last month is a simple one. For sick and vulnerable patients the danger is that the right to die could become a duty to die as they feel pressure, whether real or imaginary, from family, carers and society at large to request early death. ******* The BMA vote has rescued patients from embarking upon the slippery slope towards full blown euthanasia in the UK". ******* ENDS ******* Motions ******* That this Meeting: ******* (i) believes that the ongoing improvement in palliative care allows patients to die with dignity; 84% for, 16% against ******* (ii) insists that physician-assisted suicide should not be made legal in the UK; 65% for, 35% against ******* (iii) insists that voluntary euthanasia should not be made legal in the UK; 65% for, 35% against ******* (vi) insists that non-voluntary euthanasia should not be made legal in the UK; 94% for, 6% against ******* (v) insists that if euthanasia were legalised there should be a clear demarcation between those doctors who would be involved in it and those who would not; 82% for, 18% against ******* (vi) requests that all members of the BMA be balloted on this issue. (Needed a two-thirds majority to be passed due to cost involved): 43% for, 57% against ******* Notes for Editors ******* Care NOT Killing is a new UK-based alliance bringing together human rights groups, healthcare groups, palliative care groups, faith groups and concerned individuals. ******* Care NOT Killing has three key aims: ******* To promote more and better palliative care ******* To ensure that existing laws against euthanasia and assisted suicide are not weakened or repealed during the lifetime of the current Parliament ******* To inform public opinion further against any weakening of the law ******* Care NOT Killing seeks to attract the broadest support among health care professionals, allied health services and others who are opposed to euthanasia. It is campaigning on the basis of powerful arguments underpinned by the latest, well-researched and credible evidence. ******* Key groups that have already signed up to join Care NOT Killing include: The Association for Palliative Medicine, the British Council of Disabled People, RADAR, the Christian Medical Fellowship, the Catholic Bishops Conference of England and Wales, the Church of England and the Medical Ethics Alliance. 32 organisations have joined the alliance. ******* For more information, broadcasting bids and media inquiries ******* Nick Wood of Media Intelligence Partners 07889 617 003 or 0203 008 8146 ******* Katie Perrior 07958 459 398 ******************************************************************************************************** ******* item 6 SCOTLAND TEENAGER FACES THREATS FROM SCHOOL FOR T - SHIRT AGAINST ABORTION ******* from LifeNews.com Pro-Life News Report?******* date Tuesday July 3, 2007 ******* London, England (LifeNews.com) -- A teenager in the UK is facing threats from her school for wearing a t-shirt that has a message opposing abortion. Sarah Scott, a 16 year-old who gave birth just four months ago, says the staff at Banff Academy complained when she wore a shirt with the message "Abortion is Murder� printed on it. Scott attends the Aberdeenshire, Scotland school and wore the shirt on a day when students are permitted to wear casual clothes instead of their normal uniforms. ******* While the school maintains the shirt was offensive and threatened to kick her out if she wore it again, Scott says other shirts are more offensive. She pointed to shirts worn by students promoting pornography or lewd magazines. �I was wearing the T-shirt when a teacher approached me and that I was never to wear it again because she found it offensive. I was told I could be excluded from school if I wear it again," she told the BBC about what happened. ********************************************************************************************************
