Pagan Christmas ritual pressed on young kids
A public-school handout urging young children in Virginia to attend a “Pagan ritual” tomorrow to “celebrate Yule” is sparking objections from concerned parents. “Amazing — government schools ban orthodox Christianity, but allow an openly pagan organization to proselytize six-year-olds!” one observer who asked for anonymity told WND.

Coroner says baby at abortion business was born alive
An autopsy on the body of a baby girl found at a Hialeah, Fla., abortion business shows her arrival is being considered a birth, but it also notes that her cause of death was “extreme prematurity.” The autopsy was obtained by the front-line pro-life organization Operation Rescue, and posted online.
Court rules against ACLU, atheist on San Diego cross
n a major victory for backers of San Diego’s Mt. Soledad cross, an appeals court ruled today in favor of a voter measure that authorized transfer of the land beneath the memorial to the federal government. A panel of justices from the 4th District Court of Appeal ruled 3-0 that Proposition A was constitutional, overturning a decision by Superior Court Judge Patricia Yim Cowett that invalidated the measure. The court also reversed a $275,000 attorney fee award received by an ACLU-backed lawyer for plaintiff Phillip Paulsen, an atheist who died last month.
Operation Rescue seeks abortion business closure
An abortion business in Huntsville, Ala., should be closed down after the state Health Department cited the location for violating 10 state laws, according to the front-line pro-life Operation Rescue. According to officials, the Alabama Women’s Center for Reproductive Alternatives was found to have been forwarding after-hours medical emergencies to non-medical personnel, routinely failing to document the gestational age of the unborn baby, and releasing abortion patients without following the mandatory 20-minute recovery period, according to a statement from Operation Rescue.

Actually, you can thank Jerry Falwell for that Pagan holiday thing. A few years back, he fought for the right to distrubite material though school systems. If I recall, the ACLU fought and lost, thus allowing religious material, like this pagan material to be spread through the schools.
