Jury to Hear How Gosnell Coerced Staff to Help Third-Term AbortionsFor good reason, most of the focus in the case against Kermit Gosnell has been on how he killed a patient in a failed abortion and “snipped” the spinal cords of babies in late-term live-birth abortions.

Now, the jury in the murder trial case may hear about how Gosnell abused his staff, treated and paid them poorly, and coerced them to participate in third-term abortions so they could make more money.

Seven-Month-Old Baby Becomes Victim of Forced Abortion in ChinaThe graphic photograph of a of an aborted 7-month boy is widely circulating among Chinese people on the Internet following a horrifying forced abortion that took place on Friday.

The forced abortion took place in Chuzhou City, Anhui Province as a woman named Lü, a 33-year-old Chinese woman whose husband reported the case and released the photograph, was victimized. (WARNING, GRAPHIC: The extremely graphic picture can be seen here.) http://www.lifenews.com/2013/03/25/seven-month-old-baby-becomes-victim-of-forced-abortion-in-china/

MSNBC Talking Head Calls Babies “Things That Might Turn Into Humans”During a recent MSNBC show on abortion, talking head Melissa Harris-Perry made a comment that will surely make people wonder whether she has any grasp on the science behind fetal development.

Harris-Perry talked about how much it costs “to have this thing turn into a human” when referring to an unborn baby. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/03/25/msnbc-talking-head-calls-babies-things-that-might-turn-into-humans/
40 Days for Life Concludes With 554 Babies Saved From AbortionBefore I take a break from email, I do want to thank you for all you’ve done the past 40 days … and to let you know that we are aware of 554 babies spared from abortion through God’s mercy these past 40 days!

Those are 554 stories of children — made in God’s image and likeness — who were so close to becoming another statistic. But because of your prayers, and your courage to be there for their moms, they have life.

Campaign April 8th Will Help Abortion Clinic Workers Quit JobsAbby Johnson made national headlines when she resigned from her position as a clinic director at Planned Parenthood. She explains that she began working there because she genuinely wanted to help women and make a difference. Though she was initially pro-choice, that all changed when she was made to observe a 13-week abortion.

She saw the baby fight for his life before he was killed, and with that, her heart was changed. She quit shortly thereafter, causing a firestorm of controversy. Planned Parenthood and their pro-abortion allies demonized her; pro-lifers applauded her. Since then, she’s worked as a pro-life educator, public speaker, and author. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/03/25/massive-campaign-april-8th-will-help-abortion-clinic-workers-quit-jobs/

Here Comes Obamacare’s “Expected Life Years” RationingThe researchers are busy creating computer models and testing hypotheses to see if they can predict mortality accurately–as a way, I suspect, of justifying health care rationing.

My concern was heightened by a study just published as a letter in the March 6 Journal of the American Medical Association, in which the authors claim that they were able to predict likely mortality 10-years out.
