4. Baby Story

Oregon couple successfully sued Legacy Health System for $2.9 million in a ‘wrongful birth’ suit

Daughter was born with Down Syndrome, which the doctors failed to catch early in the pregnancy when the initial tests were done

Speculation as to why the error occurred -> couple says the maternal tissue, not fetal tissue was tested; Legacy’s attorney said the child has mosiac Down Syndrome meaning a significant number of cells don’t contain extra chromosomes

Ariel and Deborah Levy say they would have aborted the pregnancy if they knew - this is why these cases are so rarely brought to court

The couple say they will use the money to care for their daughter

Article at Babble (parenting website) -> “Should every parent who has a child with Down Syndrome be entitled to a few million because doctors should have caught the disease during pregnancy?”

Kansas, Oklahoma and Arizona now have laws which would absolve doctors of legal liability if they lie to patients about pre-natal diagnoses to prevent pregnant people from getting abortions

Breivik: “I don’t recognize Norwegian courts because you get your mandate from the Norwegian political parties who support multiculturalism.”

“I admit to the acts but not criminal guilt.”

When uncuffed, he raised is right hand in a clenched-fist salute and also refused to stand when the judges entered the room

2. Trayvon Martin updates

Zimmerman is in police custody in Florida and has been charged with second-degree murder

Prosecutors plan to prove he shot Trayvon with malice, but not premeditation

Zimmerman plans to plead not guilty and faces up to life in prison if convicted

Bill Cosby said on CNN’s “State of the Union” on Sunday that the debate should focus on guns, not race

Said there is a need to get guns off the streets and that people should be taught to use every possible alternative before shooting someone

Cosby said the bigger question was what Zimmerman was doing with a gun and who taught him how to behave with it

1. Election News

Rick Santorum suspended campaign on Tuesday

Did not endorse Romney - has said Romney is an unworthy standard-bearer for the GOP

“We will continue to go out and fight and defeat President Barack Obama.”

“We were winning in a very different way. We were touching hearts.”

Over and over again we were told, ‘Forget it. You can’t win.’”

Santorum would have needed 80% or remaining delegates to win nomination before the national convention in Florida in August

Santorum’s delegates can support any candidate they wish (in most states) and Gingrich has already begun trying to appeal to them

Gingrich says he will stay in the race to help the party build a solidly conservative platform

Said his lack of funds is no reason to get out of the race

5. First time since 1880’s that American bison have been on the American Great Plains

There are a few thousand bison living on Yellowstone National Park

61 were given to a Native American reservation in Montana

Ranchers are upset because they say the bison destroy their fences, eat their hay and harass their cattle

American Prairie Foundation has been buying up land from ranchers to one day own a three-and-a-half million acre wildlife reserve

Montana Governor Brian Schweitzer - “In a hundred years, this herd will still only grow to a few thousand, and we have three million cattle in Montana. I think there’s room for them to coexist.”

Attorney who is representing bison opponents, Cory Swanson - “Where does it stop? How widely are the buffalo going to spread, how much damage are they going to cause and where will our interests be protected?”

4. Election News

Delegate count: Mitt Romney-660; Rick Santorum-281; Newt Gingrich-135; Ron Paul-51

Need 1,144 delegates to win Republican nomination

Romney’s campaign pulled a sharply negative ad against Santourm which was supposed to air April 24th

Santorum cancelled Monday’s campaign events after daughter was hospitalized (Trisomy 18)

Spokesman Hogan Gidley - “We appreciate the outpouring of support and prayers. The prayers worked, she’s doing much better.”

Obama has announced opposition to marriage amendment which will be on the November ballot in Minnesota

Would restrict marriage to only opposite sex couples

Kristin Sosanie - “It would single out and discriminate against committed gay and lesbian couples - and that’s why the President does not support it.”

As likely GOP nominee, Romney will be far behind Obama once he clinches the nomination - must raise money for general election, hire more people and sent them to critical states, hone message to resonate with more voters

As incumbent, Obama has advantages - well ahead on fundraising, organization and broad pitch to voters

Romney must figure out how to achieve unity with a base that has resisted his candidacy
