UNBORN CHILD KILLING LAW CHALLENGED The attorney for a woman charged with killing the 15-week-old unborn child carried by another woman will challenge a Pennsylvania law enabling a foetus to be considered a murder victim. Corinne Wilcott, 20, is charged with murder of an unborn child, aggravated assault of an unborn child and related charges in the death of the foetus whom Sheena Carson had been carrying. Prosecutors say Wilcott attacked Carson and threatened her unborn child during a fight on June 8 because Wilcott’s husband was the father. But Tim Lucas, Wilcott’s attorney, wants the law declared unconstitutional, saying, “There are conflicting statutes about what constitutes a human person.” https://www.observer-reporter.com/288750255005498.bsp MARRIED SCOUT LEADER CHARGED WITH MOLESTATION AND INDECENT EXPOSURE A Boy Scout leader has been charged with fondling at least three boys aged 10 to 12 and showing them gay pornographic photos, police said, as well as his own private parts.

About 1,500 homosexual men contract HIV each year in Britain, reports Kevin Fenton, head of the center’s HIV division, adding the number of annual diagnoses has almost doubled since the late 1990s. “We are not only diagnosing infections that were acquired many years ago.

(AFP, with files from Pro-Life E-News) BBC CARTOON SERIES MOCKS THE POPE, VATICAN A branch of the BBC is making “Popetown,” a cartoon series that mocks the Pope and the Catholic Church. Set in a Vatican office, the cartoon features a childish, whimsical and stupid pope voiced by female comedian Ruby Wax, and a crazy nun voiced by Mick Jagger’s ex-wife, Jerry Hall. BBC3 Controller Stuart Murphy was quoted saying, “I hope Ruby, being Jewish and female, may bring something to the role which the Church may have so far overlooked.” The BBC will spend the equivalent of $5 million on the series. An unnamed Catholic “spokesman” told Britain’s left-wing Mirror newspaper: “The church is big enough to have fun poked at itself.” https://www.mirror.co.uk/news/allnews/page.cfm?objectid=12391667&method=full&siteid=50143
