Autopsy Confirms Kermit Gosnell Killed Woman in Botched AbortionA medical examiner testified in the Kermit Gosnell murder trial Tuesday and testified that an autopsy confirmed that abortion practitioner Kermit Gosnell killed a woman in a failed abortion.
Assistant Medical Examiner Gary Collins confirmed that the woman, 41-year-old Karnamaya Mongar (below right), died from the abortion due to Gosnell and his staff’s medical incompetence in terms of administering a proper amount of anesthesia rather than her dying of some other cause. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/03/27/autopsy-confirms-kermit-gosnell-killed-woman-in-botched-abortion/
Gosnell Attorney Tries to Hide Evidence He Killed Woman in AbortionThe Kermit Gosnell murder trial opened Tuesday with a heated dispute over the prosecution’s toxicology expert witness that soon degenerated into a loud shouting match between defense attorney Jack McMahon and Judge Jeffery Minehart, who ordered McMahon to sit down.
According to a local news report, minutes after the argument between McMahon and Judge Minehart, McMahon exchanged angry words with prosecutor Joanne Pescatore in the hallway outside the courtroom that also escalated to the point of shouting. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/03/27/gosnell-attorney-tries-to-hide-evidence-he-killed-woman-in-abortion/
ABC, CBS, NBC, MSNBC, NPR and PBS Ignore Gosnell’s Abortion HorrorsThe liberal media know an abortion outrage when they hear it. Sadly, they only seem to hear them from the mouths of Republican candidates, and it only takes a statement to outrage the press. Can’t they find a single abortion outrage inside an abortion clinic? Such is their radicalism that nothing, absolutely nothing regarding this gruesome procedure raises their eyebrows, never mind their ire.
One emerging story proves the degree to which our “objective” media’s views on abortion are dogmatic and extreme. Abortionist Kermit Gosnell is on trial in Philadelphia, and not just for killing babies outside the womb, but also for killing a mother through reckless use of anesthesia. Network TV coverage of the trial? http://www.lifenews.com/2013/03/27/abc-cbs-nbc-msnbc-npr-and-pbs-ignore-gosnells-abortion-horrors/
Michelle Obama Aide Becomes Florida Planned Parenthood CEOA former aide to pro-abortion First lady Michelle Obama has become the CEO of the Florida affiliate of the Planned Parenthood abortion business.
Stephanie A. Marshall is also the former communications director at the U.S. Health and Human Services and will now become the new president and chief executive officer of Planned Parenthood of Collier County. See succeeds Char Wendel, who is leaving at the end of March. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/03/27/michelle-obama-aide-becomes-florida-planned-parenthood-ceo/

Mom With Tumor Credits Her Unborn Baby With Saving Her LifeFrom the UK comes the kind of heartwarming story that shows the preciousness of human life.
When Jane Heffey began to experience heavy bleeding associated with her 20 week pregnancy, she found out from her physicians that she had a tumor on her cervix. Heffey’s unborn baby was putting pressure on her cervix as her child grew in her womb and that pressure was causing the substantial bleeding. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/03/27/mom-with-tumor-credits-her-unborn-baby-with-saving-her-life/
Obamacare Funnels $75 Million to Planned Parenthood to Push Sex on KidsWhile the White House says sequestration has eliminated funds for children touring the White House, President Obama has no problem spending $350 million federal tax dollars for sexual indoctrination programs starting in kindergarten for those same children.
This is not your grandmother’s sex education about how things work and what can go “wrong.” In fact, the exact opposite is the essence of the Personal Responsibility Education Program (PREP): Obamacare funnels $75 million annually into PREP, which must be used exclusively for Planned Parenthood-style “comprehensive” sex ed programs where no type of sex is wrong and the only sexual behavior PP considers “unsafe” is becoming pregnant. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/03/27/obamacare-funnels-75-million-to-planned-parenthood-to-push-sex-on-kids/

Virginity is a Sacred Choice, Not a Shameful StatusOur society is obsessed with talking about sex, regardless if you’re having it or not. Take for instance the recent March cover of People magazine, which featured the title, “Bachelor’s Sean & Catherine, Waiting for Our Wedding night.” To make things a bit clearer, they added below the title, “No sex until ‘I do.’” The cover may intrigue those who scratch their heads, wondering in earnest why anyone would (gasp) wait to have sex.
sean-lowe-GiudiciI’m not a fan of The Bachelor. Twenty-plus girls making out with one guy who professes his love to multiple ladies isn’t my cup of tea. Nevertheless, I think it’s interesting that America is so intrigued by Sean’s “born-again virgin” status. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/03/27/virginity-is-a-sacred-choice-not-a-shameful-status/
Pro-Abortion Actress Ashley Judd Not Running for Kentucky Senate SeatAshley Judd, a pro-abortion actress, is no longer considering a Senate bid against the pro-life senator who is the leader of Republicans in the U.S. Senate. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/03/27/pro-abortion-actress-ashley-judd-not-running-for-kentucky-senate-seat/

Abortion Activists Compare Pro-Life Christians to the TalibanA flood of pro-life laws have been sweeping the country, most notably in Arkansas and North Dakota, causing plenty of teeth-gnashing and angst among the pro-abortion crowd.

Iowa: Pro-Lifers Join Planned Parenthood to Defeat Bill Stopping AbortionsThe first funnel date came and went and all pro-life bills went with it. We didn’t expect that any of the “life at conception” bills or any of the limits on abortion would make it to the calendar in either chamber. We had hoped to at least get the web-cam abortion bill through the committee process and on the House calendar. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/03/27/iowa-pro-lifers-join-planned-parenthood-to-defeat-bill-stopping-abortions/
The Fight to Stop Population Control in Philippines ContinuesProponents of population control in the Philippines, including the Obama administration, were in a celebratory mood on December 17, 2012 when the so-called “Reproductive Health” (RH) Bill was signed into law. But they may have started partying too soon. The Supreme Court of the Philippines has now suspended the law for 120 days while it considers whether or not it violates the Philippine Constitution. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/03/27/the-fight-to-stop-population-control-in-philippines-continues/
