George Tiller: US abortionist's killer may have links to anti-abortion group

It was not the intention to do two abortion related posts back to back but late term abortionist George Tiller was shot and killed while ushering at his church in the weekend. He was America's most well-known abortionist.

The suspect, Scott Roeder, 51, may have links to Operation Rescue, a conservative US group opposed to abortion. In fact Tiller has been shot before, outside his abortion clinic by Shelley Shannon, who was later jailed. Roeder visited her in prison. You can read more about that here.

The Operation Rescue website is down at the moment , but here's the cache which has this entry:

Bleass everyone for attending and praying in May to bring justice to Tiller and the closing of his death camp.
Sometime soon, would it be feasible to organize as many people as possible to attend Tillers church (inside, not just outside) to have much more of a presence and possibly ask questions of the Pastor, Deacons, Elders and members while there? Doesn’t seem like it would hurt anything but bring more attention to Tiller.

Being pro-life and killing someone to prove your point is hardly the way to go, is it.

Entire abortion committee resigns

The Abortion Supervisory Committee has advised that the Abortion Standards Committee has resigned.

The Standards Committee consisted of experts in the fields of obstetrics and gynaecology, women’s health, primary care, nursing and counselling, and was set up under section 15 of the Contraception, Sterilisation, and Abortion Act 1977 to develop standards for the provision of abortion services. The committee was appointed by the Abortion Supervisory Committee, but its membership was never made public. It could well have been some of these people.

Justice Miller in the High Court in Wellington on 9 June
stated that “there is reason to doubt the lawfulness of many abortions authorised by certifying consultants, we have abortion on request.”

Justice Miller confirmed that the Committee does in fact have the power to hold certifying consultants accountable for the lawfulness of abortions they authorise and to question them why they are using mental health grounds to authorise 98 percent of abortions.

In light of the court case, the Standards Committee would have a difficult job developing standards within the law without changing current practices, given that most abortions are done unlawfully. Given that this committee was directed by the Abortion Supervisory Committee, one wondered why it existed in the first place.

Meanwhile Justice Miller will again be hearing the ongoing case between Right To Life and the Abortion Supervisory Committee on 20 July. Right to Life wants to have Justice Miller issue clear declarations to the Abortion Supervisory Committee setting out its statutory powers and duties.

In the past financial year fees amounting to $5,048,096 – excluding GST – were paid to people to kill unborn children.

Takeaway research and statistics

Middle classes hooked on takeaways as hectic lifestyles turn Britain into a 'fast food nation' | Mail Online: "The average Indian or Chinese takeaway meal contains around 1,400 calories - almost three-quarters of a woman’s daily allowance - and consists of up to 60 per cent fat." says a new report comissioned by vegetarian meat manufacturer Quorn (Premiier Brands)




Quorn was one of the sausages featured at dine in and gourmet takeaway venue tibits in London as part of the Nattional Vegetarian Week celebrations.

Judges Nitin Mehta MBE from Young Indian Vegetarians, Angela Bryant a Trustee from The Vegetarian Society, Peter Langsam from Planet Organic, Yvonne Bishop-Weston Nutritionist with Foods for Life and Reto Frei proprietor of tibits restaurant in Piccadilly chose Redwoods sausages as the overall favourite. They were blind tasted and voted for on taste. See Vegetarian Sausage taste Test

Refreshing Linux Group Rights

Maybe I'm mistaken, but I think there is no other way to let your system know that you e.g. are now member of another group than logging out and back in. And I'm wondering - why? Can it be so complicated? We can reload, refresh everything, but for that you'd have to log out, which is especially annoying in X...

But that' wrong! You can work around the problem with newgrp. The program updates the environment variables so you can immediately use the group, at least in the shell started via newgrp.

UMDENKEN im Gesundheitswesen
Umdenk-Trainer - Traumberuf des nächsten Jahrzehnts

Es gibt eine Reihe von Fehlentwicklungen in unserem Land: Eine davon ist das Gesundheitswesen.

Gesundheitswesen hat mit Gesundheit zu tun.
Es geht dabei in erster Linie um "Gesundheit bewahren". Dann brauchen wir nie Krankheit bekämpfen.

Doch das "Gesundheitswesen" in unserem Land ist in erster Linie mit Krankheit bekämpfen beschäftigt. Man konzentriert sich viel mehr aufs Krankheit bekämpfen als auf Gesundheit bewahren. Krankheit bekämpfen wird finanziert. Gesundheit bewahren leider nicht (ausreichend).

Es ist aber viel einfacher, viel schmerzfreier, viel kostengünstiger, Gesundheit zu bewahren als Krankheit bekämpfen zu müssen.

Eine Bewusstseinsveränderung - ein großes Umdenken - bei Millionen von Menschen und auch bei öffentlichen Stellen ist unbedingt notwendig.

5 a Day - Are you getting enough?

5 a Day Are you getting enough? Tibit's restaurant in Picadilly London launched a National Vegetarian Week campaign today to encourage people to get their 5 a day.

Vegetarian model Juliet was transformed into Eve - an artistic 5 a day installation in tibit's window on Heddon street. Paparrazzi cameras clicked as Juliet took a bite from one of her 5 a day portions - a big juicy red apple that Adam would have been proud of.

tibit's are on a mission to prove that plant foods can be indulgent and sexy and shake off the preconcieved ideas of vegetarian food that some long in the tooth city chefs still cling to.

On thursday tibits plan to elabourate on this theme with a National Vegetarian Week breakfast event for journalists that showcases the top vegetarian products from around the UK. To be added to guest list (Journalists) please visit Tibits National Vegetarian week Event
