Botched Abortion at Nebraska Planned Parenthood Sends Woman to Hospital

Lincoln, NE (LifeNews.com) -- A woman was sent to a local hospital in Lincoln, Nebraska after a botched abortion at a Planned Parenthood facility. The unnamed woman suffered unknown complications from the abortion, but the problems were serious enough to transport her to a medical center and shut down Planned Parenthood's operations.


The incident occurred on Thursday morning and saw the woman loaded into an ambulance outside Planned Parenthood at about 10:45 a.m.


She was transported to Bryan LGH East Medical Center, according to pro-life advocate Pam McCabe of Lincoln Right to Life, who snapped photos of the incident.


McCabe indicates abortion practitioner C.J. La Benz followed the ambulance to the hospital.


McCabe says that five women who went to the abortion center just before the incident and afterwards were turned away for their abortions due to the medical emergency.


LaBenz made national news in 1979 when information surfaced revealing he ordered a nurse to abandon a late-term baby weighing 2 pound 9 ounces who was born alive during a saline abortion.


The baby was placed in a "dirty utility room" to cry unattended where he died two and a half hours later.


LaBenz again made news in 2002, when he was arrested for striking sidewalk counselor Sharon McKee with his vehicle, then stealing her cell phone and $350 as she lay on the ground injured. La Benz's charges were later reduced to "disturbing the peace."


In 2006, LaBenz closed his Omaha abortion business after the new owner and landlord of the building asked him to vacate it.


Unable to find another facility to locate his abortion business in, LaBenz began doing abortions for the Lincoln Planned Parenthood in April 2008, according to Operation Rescue.


OR spokeswoman Cheryl Sullenger commented on the botched abortion.


"LaBenz is an obvious menace who is a danger to the public," she said.


"We are thankful for the pro-lifers on the scene who had the presence of mind to document the incident," she added. "These pictures illustrate the dangerous nature of Planned Parenthood and other abortion mills across the nation, that prey on vulnerable women with tragic results."


"We are also thankful for the women who did not have abortions due to the medical emergency, and pray they will find other ways to deal with the challenges in their lives, than taking the lives of their innocent children," Sullenger said.

Barack Obama Admits "Above My Pay Grade" Abortion Answer Flippant

Washington, DC (LifeNews.com) -- A few weeks ago pro-abortion presidential candidate Barack Obama said he didn't know when human life began -- saying it was "above my pay grade." Today, the Democratic nominee said in a television interview that he was "too flip" in responding to the question.


When asked during the forum at Saddleback Church, Obama said last month "that whether you're looking at it from a theological perspective or a scientific perspective, answering that question with specificity, you know, is above my pay grade."


In an interview with ABC News' "This Week" program on Sunday, Obama said he meant to say that he thinks the scientific question of the beginning of human life is a theological one that he can't answer.


"What I intended to say is that, as a Christian, I have a lot of humility...all I meant to communicate was that I don't presume to be able to answer these kinds of theological questions," he said.


Obama went on to say that "abortion is a moral issue, that it’s one that families struggle with all the time."


Deflecting attention from his non-answer, Obama shifted to the typical language he uses when discussing the abortion debate -- a plea for getting along and reducing abortions while providing no specifics on how he would reduce them as president.


"And that in wrestling with those issues, I don't think that the government criminalizing the choices that families make is the best answer for reducing abortions," he told the program.


"The better answer...is to figure out, how do we make sure the young mothers, or women who have a pregnancy that’s unexpected or difficult, have the kind of support they need to make a whole range of choices, including adoption and keeping the child," he said.


Presidential hopeful John McCain was clear and precise in his answer to the question at the Saddleback faith forum.


"At the moment of conception," McCain answered.


He elaborated on the abortion question and sought to assure pro-life voters that he will keep pro-life precepts in mind when he occupies the White House.


"I will be a pro-life president and this presidency will have pro-life policies,” he said. “I have a 25-year pro-life record. That’s my commitment to you.”


Obama has come under fire for his vastly pro-abortion position, including supporting virtually unlimited abortions paid for at taxpayer expense. He has also tried to deflect criticism that he misrepresented his votes in the Illinois legislature against bills that would have stopped infanticides.


Obama has also promised activists with Planned Parenthood, the nation's largest abortion business, that the first thing he would do as president is overturn every pro-life law in all 50 states.
