Ultrasound bill advances to committee
Associated Press
COLUMBIA - Pregnant women seeking an abortion in South Carolina would be required to first look at ultrasound images of their fetuses under legislation that advanced Thursday to a House committee.
Proponents hope the bill will lead to fewer abortions, with more women opting for adoption or keeping their child. Abortion rights activists have criticized the measure.
Rep. Mick Mulvaney, a co-sponsor and father of triplets, said the latest technology makes it harder for people to argue a fetus isn't a life.
(this bill is the brilliant idea of the cpc...which, if you don't already know, gets govt funding. and they blatantly lie to women. hailey went undercover. trust me, they lie. we have the proof in black and white)

CPC chairman speaks to Jones County Interagency Council
The Jones County Interagency Council listened to a presentation by Cal Callen of the Crisis Pregnancy Center (CPC) of South Mississippi at its monthly meeting at the Chisholm Center Thursday at noon.
Callen, who serves as chairman of the board of directors for the CPC, with the assistance of Carol Harbaugh, the interim director of the CPC, shared with the group of 25 to 30 the CPC’s purpose.
Callen said, “The Crisis Pregnancy Center of South Central Mississippi consists of concerned Christians bonded together to show the love of Jesus Christ. We show Christ’s love by bringing the resources of the local church and community to provide Biblical answers to the problems facing pregnant women in their journeys.
“We stand for life by educating our clients and the general public about the physical and emotional complications of abortion, by providing alternatives to abortion by serving as a place of refuge and healing, and by advocating sexual purity.”
Callen said a large number of studies show that many women who have abortions have problems later in life such as financial problems, physical problems from complications with abortions and emotional problems.
“We’re even finding young men who find out that their girlfriend, years ago, got pregnant, never told them and aborted their child,” Callen said. “When they find out years later, they go through all this guilt and torment that have to be dealt with.”
CPC provides mothers with a safe haven, Callen said. It helps find doctors, provides counseling, trains young parents and offers other services.
“One of the reasons I got involved was about seven or eight years ago, Alive Jones County did a survey of statistics and a couple of the statistics jumped out at me. One of them was the fact that in the nation, the state that has the worst record of unwanted pregnancies was Mississippi. Jones County, per capita, was the worst in Mississippi, which shocked me,” Callen said.
Linda Gatzman of Alive Jones County said the numbers have since dropped.
Callen said the CPC also has a baby store that sells many baby-related items like formula, diapers, cribs and car seats. Parents get “mommy and daddy dollars” by going to church, watching videos, making doctors’ appointments and other activities to buy the baby supplies they need from the CPC.
The CPC office is located at 402 Central Ave. in Laurel, and its phone number is 601-428-4357.

Let's talk about (the cost of) sex
National speaker talks to Carson High students about choices, consequences of sex outside of marriage
On Monday morning, the students of Carson High School faced some tough questions.
National speaker and abstinence educator Pam Stenzel talked to the students during two assemblies about the cost of their choices.
"I can't make this choice for you. Your parents can't make this choice for you, even if they wish they could. You have to decide," Stenzel told the students.
For just over an hour, Stenzel talked about the choices and consequences of sexual activity, even safe sexual activity.
The program was funded using a $35,000 federal grant received by the Crisis Pregnancy Center in Reno. Stenzel will be talking to schools in Northern Nevada through Friday, including a presentation today at Virginia City High School.
Nine years ago, Stenzel was working in a crisis pregnancy center in Minneapolis and time after time the girls in her office would tell her they just didn't know.
"When you start whining about what kids aren't being taught, eventually the finger has to be pointed back at you and you have to do something," Stenzel said. "My only goal in talking to students is so that they can't say they didn't know, that nobody ever told them."
Since then, Stenzel has traveled the world, speaking to students about abstinence and making good choices. Her video, "Sex has a price tag," received the Charleston International Film Festival Gold Award in 1997 and has been translated into 11 languages.
One of Stenzel's main points is that high schoolers think pregnancy is the worst consequence of sex, but it shouldn't be their only concern.
"You can live through pregnancy, I've done it three times, but there are sexually transmitted diseases that can kill you. On average, pregnant girls in Nevada carry 2.3 sexually transmitted diseases."
Stenzel also talked about the prevalence of 30 sexually transmitted diseases, including the most common one, human papillomavirus or HPV. She also mentioned that nationwide 14,000 teenagers will get a sexually transmitted disease today.
Lisa Schuette, a health teacher at Carson Middle School, brought 120 seventh-graders to the high school for the presentation.
"They loved the message, but it was also a little scary for them," Schuette said. "We've talked a lot about STDs and they know the dangers, but she is so dynamic that they enjoy listening to her."
In addition to the physical consequences, including pregnancy, sterility, infection and possibly death, Stenzel also talked about the emotional impacts of sexual activity outside marriage.
"Is it worth it ladies? Are the consequences worth it because he told you he loved you," said Stenzel. "Love would never ask you to do something that will damage you for the rest of your life."
Schuette said the presentation fits into the educational philosophy of the district.
"We have an informed-abstinence program, we talk about abstinence but we also address the other dangers. We have a great family-life committee that helps us," Schuette said.
After the presentations, Stenzel answered questions from students about a variety of topics.
"Just when I tell you I can't be shocked by the questions, I get shocked again. But, having worked for a crisis pregnancy center I know most of what they are going to ask," she said.
