Late-term Abortion Clinics to Open

An abortion doctor who performs late pregnancy abortions says he's going to open clinics around Washington, DC and Iowa. LeRoy Carhart already runs an abortion facility in Nebraska, but the station passed a measure outlawing abortions later than the 20th week of a pregnancy. Carhart isn't saying where the clinics will be located, does say they will be open for business by December 6.

Megachurch Numbers

More than 60% of the nation's megachurches are in the Sunbelt. Texas has the most, followed by California, Georgia and Florida, according to the Hartford Institute for Religion Research in Connecticut. However, Church Growth Today says 95% of the Christian, non-Catholic churches in the US have a weekly attendance of 350 or fewer people.
