The Obama administration on Tuesday designated a respiratory disease now found in the Middle East as a potential threat to public health and national security.

Franks praised the new language and compared late-term abortions to the actions of Philadelphia abortion provider Kermit Gosnell, who was recently convicted of killing three viable infants delivered alive after failed procedures.
