Spend a hundred grand to give your kids a college education, and at the end, you will likely have a little bisexual communist eco-nut who hates "Amerika" and your guts.

Disguised rebels kill 6 at Iraq school

September 27, 2005
BAGHDAD -- Terrorists in Iraq yesterday dragged five Shi'ite Muslim schoolteachers and their driver into a classroom, lined them up against a wall and gunned them down, an illustration of sectarian divisions ahead of a crucial constitutional referendum.
The shooting was a rare attack on a school amid Iraq's relentless violence, and it was particularly stunning since the gunmen targeted teachers in a school where the children were mainly Sunnis.

Classes had just ended at the Al Jazeera Elementary School in the village of Muelha, 30 miles south of Baghdad, when the shooting took place at about 1:15 p.m.
Police Capt. Muthana Khaled said that as five Shi'ite teachers got into a minivan, two cars pulled up carrying gunmen disguised as police officers.
The nine gunmen forced the teachers and their driver out of the van in front of students who were milling outside the school. The attackers dragged the six men into an empty classroom and fatally shot them, Capt. Khaled said. The attackers escaped.

Clinic offers free abortions in wake of Katrina
Arkansas doctor says it could be dangerous for evacuees to wait

Updated: 9:13 a.m. ET Sept. 28, 2005
LITTLE ROCK, Ark. - A doctor has offered to perform free abortions on hurricane evacuees, saying it may be too dangerous for them to wait until they return home.

Despite protests from abortion opponents, Little Rock Family Planning clinic director Dr. Jerry Edwards said he has already performed six free abortions. The clinic usually charges between $525 and $600 for a first-trimester abortion.

“If we didn’t provide it now, they would get it later — a late-term abortion that would give greater risk to the mother’s health,” Edwards told KTHV-TV in Little Rock.

Edwards, who runs the only abortion clinic in central Arkansas, was unavailable for further comment Tuesday, a clinic employee told The Associated Press.

Rose Mimms, executive director of Arkansas Right to Life, said Edwards is risking further traumatizing women who have already lost their material belongings. “This just adds to the devastation these women already have in their lives,” she said.

But Marvin Schwartz, spokesman for Arkansas-Oklahoma Planned Parenthood, said Edwards is providing women with a needed service.

“The timing of the abortion procedure is, of course, extremely critical. The earlier in the pregnancy, the less critical it is,” he said.
