Kermit Gosnell Staffer: Stabbing Baby in Neck “Gave Me the Creeps”The defense attorney for embattled abortion practitioner Kermit Gosnell has a claim for the jury that is weighing the multiple counts of murder against him for several “live-birth” abortions.
Jack McMahon claims no babies were ever killed in the gruesome abortion process, which involved “snipping” the spinal cords of the children by jabbing medical scissors into the backs of their necks, because the babies were supposedly already dead.http://www.lifenews.com/2013/04/10/kermit-gosnell-staffer-stabbing-baby-in-neck-gave-me-the-creeps/
Networks Give Rutgers Scandal 41 Minutes, Gosnell Abortion Horrors 0The Rutgers basketball story continues to transfix the media, and why shouldn’t it? Mike Rice, the disgraced former Rutgers basketball coach allegedly killed a woman and at least seven viable, born-alive babies “by plunging scissors into their spinal cords” in his filthy, macabre “house of horrors” abortion clinic.
Oh wait, my mistake. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/04/10/networks-give-rutgers-scandal-41-minutes-gosnell-abortion-horrors-0/
Planned Parenthood Clinic So Filthy Women at Risk for AIDSA Planned Parenthood abortion clinic has been closed down after botched five abortions this year alone — but additional reports show the clinic in question was so filthy women were at risk of contracting the AIDS virus.
LifeNews reported on the closing of the clinic but an ABC news report highlights the horrific conditions at the clinic. Two former Planned Parenthood nurses are speaking out about how unsanitary the conditions were at the abortion clinic. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/04/10/planned-parenthood-clinic-so-filthy-women-at-risk-for-aids/
Planned Parenthood Closed, Investigated for Botched AbortionsA Planned Parenthood abortion business in Delaware has been closed pending an investigation over multiple botched abortions at the clinic.
As LifeNews has reported, the Delaware Planned Parenthood clinic has experienced five botched abortion emergencies in less than five weeks. Since then, one abortionist and two employees have left Planned Parenthood in Wilmington, Delaware, as a result of the scandal. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/04/10/planned-parenthood-closed-investigated-for-botched-abortions/

Mental Illness Plagued Gosnell Employees Who ‘Snipped’ Babies NecksLynda Williams told a jury Tuesday that her boss, Kermit Gosnell, was aware she suffered from bi-polar disorder and depression when he hired her to work at his “House of Horrors” abortion clinic in West Philadelphia assisting with late-term abortions. In fact, she was being treated by Gosnell for the mental health illnesses.
Another clinic worker, Elizabeth Hampton, previously testified she suffered from depression and anxiety in addition to alcohol abuse, and that she once had a “nervous breakdown.” Yet another former Gosnell employee to testify, Sherry West, also admitted to being treated for mental health disorders. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/04/10/mental-illness-plagued-gosnell-employees-who-snipped-babies-necks/
Planned Parenthood Abortion Biz Defrauded Government of MillionsAlliance Defending Freedom made public its latest report to Congress Wednesday identifying waste, abuse, and potential fraud by Planned Parenthood, state family planning programs, and other organizations. The report updates the original Alliance Defending Freedom report submitted in October 2011 and urges Congress to continue its investigation into the misuse of taxpayer dollars.
“American tax dollars should be used responsibly and for the common good, and taxpayers deserve to know if their hard-earned tax money is being funneled to groups that are abusing it,” said Litigation Counsel Catherine Glenn Foster. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/04/10/planned-parenthood-abortion-biz-defrauded-government-of-millions/
Babies Born Alive During Abortions More Common Than You ThinkOn March 29, Live Action covered the debate in the Florida legislature on a bill that would require doctors to give medical care, including transport to a hospital, to babies who are born alive during abortion procedures. A Planned Parenthood representative attempted to answer questions on why Planned Parenthood opposed this legislation. In a shocking video, she said that the decision about what to do with a living, breathing, born infant should be up to the doctor and the woman having the abortion. In other words, it should be permissible to kill that baby.http://www.lifenews.com/2013/04/10/babies-born-alive-during-abortions-more-common-than-you-think/
Obama’s Budget Eliminates Funding for Abstinence EducationPresident Barack Obama has done it again — eliminating funding for abstinence education from his budget he released to Congress today. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/04/10/obamas-budget-eliminates-funding-for-abstinence-education/

“Is It a Baby?” Abortion Clinic Workers Respond

Priests for Life Lawsuit Against HHS Mandate Heads to Court TomorrowThe pro-life group Priests for Life was one of the earliest organizations to file a lawsuit against the Obama administration over its HHS mandate. The mandate compels religious groups to pay for birth control drugs and drugs like ella that can cause very early abortions. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/04/10/priests-for-life-lawsuit-against-hhs-mandate-heads-to-court-tomorrow/
