It’s been said that if someone commits murder, it could very well lead to theft, breaking and entering, cheating at cards, and even fibbing.
So it should come as no surprise when we see stories like this one about Atlanta abortionist Tyrone Malloy:
A metro Atlanta physician and his former office manager have been charged with Medicaid fraud after they billed the government nearly $400,000 for abortion services – which are barred from federal funding – and for ultrasounds not performed, authorities said. …
According to the indictment, between Dec. 9, 2007 and Aug. 9, 2010, the defendants billed the Georgia Medicaid program approximately $131,615 for new patient visits when, in reality, the visits were for elective abortions.
The Georgia Medicaid program is funded jointly by the state and the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. Under federal law known as the Hyde Amendment, federal funds cannot be used for elective abortion services; nor are abortions covered by Georgia Medicaid, the indictment states.
Malloy and Warner also are charged in the indictment with billing Georgia Medicaid about $255,024 for detailed ultrasounds that actually were never performed during the same period from 2007 through 2010.

Will any true pro-lifer take a time-out on fighting abortion because someone thinks a truce on this and other social issues should be called? [Continue reading ...]

It was a real honor to be invited the Americans United for Life (AUL) Legal Defense Fund’s celebration of the 30th Anniversary of Harris v. McRae and the successful defense of the Hyde Amendment.
The event was held this past Monday, June 22, at the Roof Top Terrace of Metropolitan Square, the building which houses AUL’s impressive offices.
I can’t really figure out why I got a special invitation to this event. Maybe word got out about how I helped AUL hire their first executive director, Pat Trueman, and become a premier pro-life legal organization.
