Today's Life Chain rally, plus some other items.

There were probably about 80 people at the Life Chain in El Cajon this year, on Fletcher Parkway near Our Lady of Grace and the Vons shopping center.  They were a bit more scattered than they were at the 40 Days for Life kickoff vigil a few days earlier.  Life Chains were also held in Roanoke, Va; Salem, Oregon; Peoria, Illinois; and St. Joseph's, Missouri.

Some other news updates:

*The number of abortions performed in Ohio took another drop, marking 10 straight years of decline.

*Josh Craddock wrote an interesting article in Live Action comparing Planned Parenthood's operations in minority neighborhoods with medical experiments in Guatemalans and Tuskegee.

*The Illinois Department of Public Health has shut down the Northern Illinois Women's Center in Rockford because of numerous safety violations.
