Candlelight Vigil Will Memorialize Mom, Baby Who Died From Abortion
A woman who was killed in a botched 33-week abortion and her unborn baby will be memorialized on Sunday in a candlelight vigil held at the late-term abortion clinic that claimed their lives.
Jennifer McKenna Morbelli, a 29-year-old woman from New Rochelle, New York died from a botched 33-week abortion on February 7. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/02/14/sebelius-linked-to-doctor-who-killed-woman-in-botched-33-week-abortion/
Baby Goes Home After Doc Says: Abort Him, He Has No Chance
Doctors told Jade Clarke that her unborn baby son had no chance of survival and that she should consider having an abortion. Now the little baby boy has made a recovery from the hospital and finally gone home.
In 2011, doctors told Clarke her baby wouldn t survive if she continued the pregnancy, but she rejected the advice. After she gave birth to little Riley, doctors soon realized their medical assessment had been incorrect. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/02/15/baby-goes-home-after-doc-says-abort-him-he-has-no-chance/
Could Perinatal Hospice Have Prevented Woman s Abortion Death?
In the wake of the recent tragic deaths of Jennifer Morbelli and her 33-week-old preborn baby girl, allegedly at the hands of late-term abortionist Dr. LeRoy Carhart, Jill Stanek reported on her blog that the decision to abort came two weeks after the Morbelli s learned their unborn daughter suffered from fetal anomalies.
With the rise of prenatal testing, early detection of fetal anomaly is becoming more and more prevalent in order to provide parents and doctors with information about an unborn baby s health and development. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/02/15/could-perinatal-hospice-have-prevented-womans-abortion-death/

Black History Month: Abortion Has Killed 16 Million Black Children
February brings a collision of mixed emotions like no other month does. This time set aside to recognize those in the African American community who have paved the way for the liberties we now enjoy is also one of the saddest.
As we celebrate those who have fought and even died for the rights that we now freely enjoy, I can t help but think of those who will never know anything about that freedom. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/02/15/black-history-month-abortion-has-killed-16-million-black-children/
