Twitter Censors Black Pro-Lifers Blasting NAACP on Abortion
A coalition of African-American pro-life activists have had their Twitter account suspended after firing off Tweets challenging the NAACP over its position favoring abortion.
As LifeNews reported, the NAACP will host its 44th Image Awards Show to honor cultural and entertainment luminaries presenting the best face of black Americans. Leading black pro-life advocates will be on hand to protest the event, because the NAACP promotes abortion. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/01/31/twitter-censors-black-pro-lifers-blasting-naacp-on-abortion/
Arkansas Senate OKs Ban on Abortions After Heartbeat Begins
The Arkansas Senate voted today for a bill that would ban virtually all abortions in the state. The measure would ban abortions at the point when a unborn child s heart starts to beat.
At 22 days into pregnancy, before most women know they are pregnant, unborn children complete the development of their heart to the point that a heartbeat begins and the bill would stop abortions at that point. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/01/31/arkansas-senate-oks-ban-on-abortions-after-heartbeat-begins/
Doctor Insists Parents of Baby With Cleft Lip Starve Him to Death
I first heard about the Peterson family in what you might call a chance meeting. (Of course I don t believe in chances; I believe that there is Someone who has a plan and a purpose behind the random occurrences in our lives.) And I firmly believe that this amazing family s story needs to be told. It s scary. It s shocking. And its implications are dangerous. How many other hospitals starve babies to death, simply based on a defect ? How many other doctors instruct new parents to leave their newborns to die or wallow in an institution for the rest of their lives?http://www.lifenews.com/2013/01/31/doctor-insists-parents-of-baby-with-cleft-lip-starve-him-to-death/
Another Plaintiff Beats Obama HHS-Abortion Mandate in Court
Another family-owned business has initially defeated the Obama mandate in court, after it sued to stop it from being compelled to pay for drugs that may cause abortions for its employees.
The U.S. Court of Appeals for the 7th Circuit issued a preliminary injunction Wednesday that blocks enforcement of the Obama administration s abortion pill mandate against a family-run business in Grote Industries v. Sebelius. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/01/31/another-plaintiff-beats-obama-hhs-abortion-mandate-in-court/
Woman: Planned Parenthood Falsified Abortion Records, Denied Me Ultrasound
The stinging tears and palpable heartbreak of a young woman deceived by Planned Parenthood say more than a book crammed with words ever could convey about the harm done to women when they are deprived of a glimpse of the humanity of their children before aborting them.
I just got back from Planned Parenthood, a visibly distraught young lady says in a YouTube video posted on January 19. She had just picked up records from a Planned Parenthood abortion that happened six years earlier. She says Planned Parenthood falsified the records regarding her age at the time of the abortion. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/01/31/woman-planned-parenthood-falsified-abortion-records-denied-me-ultrasound/
Documents Reveal Horrific Details of Botched 35-Week Abortion
Sometimes authors of magazines are allowed to witness abortions in the course of writing articles. Sometimes medical students who never had an opinion on abortion come to grips with the procedure after viewing one. People who observe abortion procedures or abortion remains usually come away with little doubt that abortion is killing a human being.
Author Verlyn Klinkenborg of Harper s Magazine visited an abortion clinic for a 1995 article. After viewing the remains of an abortion at ten weeks, he wrote the following http://www.lifenews.com/2013/01/31/documents-reveal-horrific-details-of-botched-35-week-abortion/
Abortion Activists Confused After Planned Parenthood Drops Pro-Choice
It s clear by now Planned Parenthood didn t consult its friends before announcing plans to drop the term pro-choice from its lexicon.
Seems like a huge deal to me, particularly since Planned Parenthood offered no replacement. Planned Parenthood doesn t make marketing missteps, but I think it just did. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/01/31/abortion-activists-confused-after-planned-parenthood-drops-pro-choice/
Last Mississippi Abortion Clinic Painted Pink to Drum Up Business
In an effort to draw attention to itself, the Jackson Women s Health Organization, Mississippi s last abortion clinic, surprised the public with a shiny pink paint job this week. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/01/31/last-mississippi-abortion-clinic-painted-pink-to-drum-up-business/

MPs Call for Probe as 491 Babies Left to Die After Abortions
Members of the Canadian Parliament has called for a probe into the figures from a story LifeNews broke showing 491 babies have been born alive and subsequently left to die following failed abortions. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/01/31/mp-calls-for-probe-as-491-babies-left-to-die-after-abortions/
Cardinal Dolan: Young People Represent the Ultrasound Generation
As we mark the solemn 40th anniversary of the Roe v. Wade decision, I would like to address my column this week to our teens and young adults, who I believe will ultimately prevail in restoring a sense of respect for all human life, including the innocent baby in her mother s womb. Please feel free to share this column with a young adult in your life, or ask them to look for it at www.cny.org. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/01/31/cardinal-dolan-young-people-represent-the-ultrasound-generation/
Parental Consent Doesn t Save Babies From Abortion if Bypasses Abused
Questions have arisen over whether a parental consent law with the judicial bypass (which the U. S. Supreme Court requires in the case of consent) or a parental notice law with no judicial bypass is likely to save more children. This was prompted by Texas Right to Life considering how to change Texas parental consent with bypass law so as to be more effective. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/01/31/parental-consent-doesnt-save-babies-from-abortion-if-bypasses-abused/
Man Charged Who Assaulted Pregnant Girlfriend With Baseball Bat
A 27-year-old man in Sacramento, California has been charged with attempted homicide for hitting his seven month pregnant former partner in the stomach. John Collins and the woman, whose name has not been released, had arranged to meet and discuss the custody of the couple s child. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/01/31/man-charged-who-assaulted-pregnant-girlfriend-with-baseball-bat/
Chen Guangcheng: Chinese Officials Make Big Bucks Forcing Abortions
Earlier this week, I wrote about a recent FRC event discussing China s forced population control policies This weekend, CBS s news program, Sunday Morning carried a feature on the world-famous Chinese dissident and artist Ai WeiWei. The story focused on an exhibit, running until February 24, at the Smithsonian Institution s Hirshhorn Museum in Washington, D.C. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/01/31/chen-guangcheng-chinese-officials-make-big-bucks-forcing-abortions/
Belgian Twin Euthanasia Story the Tip of a Chilling Iceberg
The case of the twin brothers euthanised in Belgium before Christmas is just the latest step in an escalation of euthanasia which is badly out of control. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/01/31/belgian-twin-euthanasia-story-the-top-of-a-chilling-iceberg/
United Nations Engages in Major Population Control Debate
A major disagreement among demographic experts threatens to upend efforts to include population control and family planning programs in the United Nations new development agenda. Experts who view population growth as an obstacle to development are criticizing the laissez-faire attitude of developing countries toward population growth and high fertility. Yet other experts disagree, saying that population control and family planning are not essential to development strategies. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/01/31/united-nations-engages-in-major-population-control-debate/
Eugenics Compensation Bill Reintroduced in North Carolina
Wednesday marked the first working session of the North Carolina General Assembly and already a bill has been filed to compensate victims of North Carolina s infamous, state-run eugenics and forced sterilization program, a representative for House Speaker Thom Tillis (R-Mecklenburg) confirms. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/01/31/eugenics-compensation-bill-reintroduced-in-north-carolina/
Russia s Underpopulation Problems Behind Foreign Adoption Ban
Vladimir Putin has sparked international outcry by banning adoptions of Russian children by American families. His action immediately halted the departure of hundreds of Russian orphans about to board planes to journey to a new life. It was a cruel move, widely condemned as callous and vindictive. . http://www.lifenews.com/2013/01/31/russias-underpopulation-problems-behind-foreign-adoption-ban/
