Abortion Doc Gosnell Never Tried to Revive Woman Killed in AbortionDuring the testimony in the murder trial of abortion practitioner Kermit Gosnell, numerous revelations have surfaced about the horrors that took place at his dilapidated late-term abortion clinic.
Gosnell has been charged with eight counts of murder and several of his staff at the abortion center, including his wife and sister-in-law, have been charged as well in the case with assisting in botched abortions, practicing medicine without a license or covering up the actions of those who did. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/03/28/abortion-doc-gosnell-never-tried-to-revive-woman-killed-in-abortion/
North Dakota Gov Faces Death Threats After Signing Abortion BanThe governor of North Dakota is facing death threats following his signing of a bill that would ban abortions after 6 weeks of pregnancy and another to stop abortions on disabled babies.
According to “Stand up for Women ND,” a Facebook group created to oppose the new abortion legislation and personhood amendment in North Dakota, Governor Dalrymple is receiving death threats from pro-abortion activists after signing three anti-abortion laws passed by the North Dakota House and Senate. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/03/28/north-dakota-gov-faces-death-threats-after-signing-abortion-ban/
Planned Parenthood Opposes Bill Protecting Babies Born After Botched AbortionsThe Planned Parenthood abortion business in Florida is opposing a bill in the state legislature that would provide medical care and legal protection for babies who are born alive after failed abortions.
This is the same legislation President Barack Obama refused to support during his time in the Illinois legislature and it mirrors a national law President George W. Bush signed after nurse Jill Stanek exposed how her Chicago-area hospital left babies to die in utility closets after botched abortions. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/03/28/planned-parenthood-opposes-bill-protecting-babies-born-after-botched-abortions/
AP Calls Abortion Doc Who Snipped Babies’ Necks “An Elegant Man”A search at the Associated Press’s national web site tonight at 11 p.m. ET on “Gosnell” returned one result: a very early Monday morning story by the wire service’s Maryclaire Dale. This would indicate that the self-described Essential Global News Network hasn’t carried a subsequent national report on the trial proceedings involving Kermit Gosnell, the Pennsylvania and Delaware abortionist accused of eight murders, one of a patient and seven of babies allegedly born alive, even though there have now been three additional days of trial proceedings and testimony.http://www.lifenews.com/2013/03/28/ap-calls-abortion-doc-who-snipped-babies-necks-an-elegant-man/

Attorneys General Push Obama for Religious Exemption in HHS MandateFTwelve attorney generals have sent a letter to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services asking that it expand the very narrow religious exemptions in the HHS mandate that require religious groups and companies to pay for birth control or drugs that may cause abortions.
They sent their letter to the HHS department on the same day that the pro-abortion Center for Reproductive Rights said it had filed a brief in the Hobby Lobby case against the mandate to keep a judge’s ruling in place forcing the Christian-owned business to comply with the mandate. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/03/28/attorneys-general-push-obama-for-religious-exemption-in-hhs-mandate/
Doctors Quitting Early Due to Burdensome Obamacare RegulationsLast week, politicians who helped craft the Affordable Care Act (ACA) celebrated in self-congratulatory style the third anniversary of that monstrosity which will soon extinguish healthcare as we’ve known it.
The president’s promises about the ACA saving money and allowing you to keep your existing health plan are proving false, as many predicted. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/03/28/doctors-quitting-early-due-to-burdensome-obamacare-regulations/

What is Planned Parenthood Hiding? Abortion Biz Engaging in FraudPlanned Parenthood is as secretive as it is deadly. In other words, it not only ends the lives of hundreds of thousands of unborn children each year but also conceals records revealing pertinent aspects of its operation costs, important details regarding “policies and services available to minors,” and it provides different numbers on salary information based on whether it is filling out state or federal paperwork.
Take, for example, the Department of Health and Human Services’ defense of Planned Parenthood’s decision to withhold information in response to a Freedom of Information Act request. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/03/28/what-is-planned-parenthood-hiding-abortion-biz-engaging-in-fraud/
2013 Already a Banner Year for Passing Pro-Life Laws on AbortionIf abortion proponents condemned 2011 as “the year of abortion restrictions… mark[ing] a sea change for abortion rights,” and 2012 as “an unmitigated disaster for abortion rights,” I can’t imagine what they will say about 2013. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/03/28/2013-already-a-banner-year-for-passing-pro-life-laws-on-abortion/

Forty Years After Roe, Back Alley Abortions are Now on Main StreetPrior to Roe, our society was fed the line by pro abortion advocates that in order to rid ourselves of dangerous “back alley” abortion procedures, abortion must be legalized. Forty years later, the practice of abortion remains unsafe, unsanitary, and largely unregulated. What we no longer have, however, is the voice of abortion proponents crying out for safer procedures. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/03/28/forty-years-after-roe-back-alley-abortions-are-now-on-main-street/
Virginia Governor Wants Abortion De-Funded in Obamacare ExchangeSometimes you have to give the devil his (or her) due. A story in the Washington Post, written by Laura Vozzella, accurately describes what Virginia Gov. Bob McDonnell is proposing vis a vis abortion coverage under the federal insurance exchanges established as part of ObamaCare. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/03/28/virginia-governor-wants-abortion-de-funded-in-obamacare-exchange/

Canadian MPs Again Denied a Vote on Banning Sex-Selection AbortionsFor the second time, members of the Canadian Parliament have been denied the right to cast a vote to show opposition to the grisly practice of sex-selection abortions. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/03/28/canadian-mps-again-denied-a-vote-on-banning-sex-selection-abortions/
New Wichita, Kansas Abortion Biz to Open Next Week Amid ConcernsPro-life supporters are bracing for the apparent opening of a new abortion clinic in Wichita, Kansas, a city that has been abortion-free since the closure of George Tiller’s Women’s Health Care Services in 2009. The new clinic, going by the name South Wind Women’s Center, says it will open next week and will provide abortions up to 14 weeks. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/03/28/new-wichita-kansas-abortion-biz-to-open-next-week-amid-concerns/
Oklahoma Appeals Rulings Striking Pro-Life Laws to Supreme CourtIn a long anticipated move, Oklahoma Attorney General Scott Pruitt filed a petition Friday asking the United States Supreme Court to review a ruling that struck down a 2010 law requiring that an ultrasound        be performed before a woman has an abortion. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/03/28/oklahoma-appeals-rulings-striking-pro-life-laws-to-supreme-court/
