Yes, more guns, in law abiding citizens hands could have led to fewer deaths, and these insane "Gun Free Zones" need to go, that only prevents the good guys from not carrying his or her gun into these gun free zones to protect themselves, the bad guys will always break the laws. If you outlaw guns only outlaws will have guns, think about it.

Study Finds Patients Diagnosed With Coronary Heart Disease Continue ...

More than 13 million Americans have survived a heart attack or have been diagnosed with coronary heart disease (CHD), the number one cause of death in the United States. In addition to medications, lifestyle changes, such as a healthy diet and exercise, are known to reduce the risk for subsequent cardiac events. Despite this evidence, a high proportion of heart attack survivors do not follow their doctor's advice to adhere to a healthy diet, according to researchers at the University of Massachusetts Medical School (UMMS).

Many studies have centered on determining dietary risk factors for developing CHD, but few investigations have studied the diets of CHD patients following diagnosis. In "Dietary Quality 1 Year after Diagnosis of Coronary Heart Disease," published in the February issue of the Journal of the American Dietetic Association, researchers measured the diet quality of 555 CHD patients one year after a diagnostic coronary angiography.

Revising late-term abortions proposed

TOPEKA | Abortion opponents announced planned legislation Thursday that they say would enhance enforcement of late-term abortion laws and prevent women from getting coerced abortions.</p><p>The measure would give district and county attorneys the ability to see abortion records and pursue a case if they think a crime was committed.</p><p>The announcement came a day after a judge allowed a grand jury to examine the medical records of 2,000 women who sought late-term abortions at Wichita physician George Tiller's clinic.</p><p>Women who sought abortions and their families also would be allowed to file civil suits against those they think violated the state's abortion law, said Rep. Lance Kinzer, a Republican from Olathe.</p><p>“A very good and limited late-term abortion law in the state of Kansas is not being followed and enforced,” Kinzer said.</p><p>But the proposed measure “trivializes the real pain and heartache that women and their families go through when they have to make a decision” to have an abortion, said Julie Burkhardt, chief operating officer for ProKanDo, which supports abortion rights.</p><p>She highlighted a part of the proposal that would allow citizens to take the Kansas Department of Health and Environment to court if it did not issue the public abortion data it is required to disclose.</p><p>Burkhardt said the measure was an effort to restrict legal access to abortion and intimidate abortion providers.</p><p>Kansans for Life said the proposed new measure would help prevent coerced abortions.</p><p>One of the provisions would require women to have at least 30 minutes of reflection time beforehand and be given a copy of the doctor's determination about the baby's viability.</p><p>Other provisions include:</p><p>- Allowing women the chance to see any ultrasound images of their fetus or hear a fetal heartbeat.</p><p>- Requiring the Kansas Board of Healing Arts to revoke the medical license of a doctor who breaks the state's late-term abortion law.</p><p>- Requiring doctors to retain abortion records for 10 years instead of the current five.</p><p>- Allowing the attorney general or district or county attorney to prosecute a reported violation in the county where the abortion was performed or where the woman lives.
