In a huge victory
for Priests for Life, a pro-life organization, a federal appeals court has

granted late this afternoon in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit
means that Priests for Life will not have to obey the contraception mandate
contained in the Affordable Care Act as its appeal is being heard. It also
means that, tomorrow, Priests for Life will not have to cancel health insurance
for its employees. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/12/31/court-obama-admin-cant-make-pro-life-group-pay-fines-for-not-obeying-hhs-mandate/
NYC Mayor: Horse-Drawn Carriages in Central Park “Inhumane,”
Abortions Okay
Bill de Blasio, New York’s incoming mayor, apparently loves animals
more than people. He thinks horse-drawn carriages in Central Park are “inhumane.”
But abortions in New York City, which is the abortion capital of America
given its ridiculously high abortion rates? No problem.

“I Had an Abortion But Am Still Pregnant Three Months Later,”
Couple Keeps Baby This Time
Shannon
Skinner had an abortion when she was eight weeks pregnant, or so she thought.
She already had a four-month-old baby and she and partner Anthony were “having
problems” so they decided abortion was the best answer as opposed to
a second baby.
But after the abortion, Skinner
continued to have morning sickness and to feel the unborn baby’s movements.
After consulting a physician, she received word that the movements were
just an after-effect of the abortion. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/Shannon

Former Abortion Clinic Staffer: “When I Saw the Baby’s
Face I Knew We Killed a Human Being”
In
2008 The Population Research Institute published a testimony from the former
medical director of an abortion clinic whose name was given as Zlata. Although
she had been so committed to abortion that she worked in the clinic for six
years, Zlata now considers herself pro-life. She tells her story:
“I remember assisting, once
in particular, in the operating room at the clinic where I had been a medical
assistant for six years. I was standing behind the doctor and could see everything
as he was performing an abortion on a woman who was 20 – 22 weeks pregnant.”

young mother talked into an abortion by a Planned Parenthood staffer,”
Smith said.
