Researcher: 1.72 Billion Abortions Worldwide Over Last 40 Years
Simon Rabinovitch in his article, “Data Reveal Scale of China Abortions,” reports that there have been 336 million abortions, 196 million sterilizations and 403 million intrauterine devices used in China since 1971. He notes that Chinese doctors every year abort roughly 7 million babies, sterilize nearly 2 million men and women and insert 7 million IUDs, though precise numbers are hard to come by.
My first reaction to this news was horror and disgust. Remember that these numbers represent the actions of only one country, and its corrosive behavior against life.http://www.lifenews.com/

Eight Years Ago Yesterday, Terri Schiavo Lived Her Last Day
On March 30, 2005, Terri Schiavo had her last full day of life on this Earth and both her family and Father Frank Pavone of Priests for Life are remembering the last moments they shared with the woman whose former husband won a court order to take her life.
Terri was killed on March 31, 2005 when her former husband won a protracted legal battle against the Schindler family for the right to disconnect her feeding tube.

A new video posted at YouTube shows an ambulance arriving at a Detroit, Michigan abortion clinic a week ago to transport a woman victimized by a botched second trimester abortion to a local medical center.

Obama Admin Gives $2.3M Grant to Planned Parenthood Abortion Biz
The partnership between the Obama administration and the Planned Parenthood abortion business will go down in history as one of the closest President Barack Obama had during his two terms in office.
That coordination continued last week as Obama officials cut a multi-million dollar check for a grant for another Planned Parenthood abortion business — sending taxpayer dollars to the group that kills more babies in abortions than any other. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/The partnership between the Obama administration and the Planned Parenthood abortion business will go down in history as one of the closest President Barack Obama had during his two terms in office.
They Can Quit Too: A Way Out for Abortion Clinic Workers
Most of us have experienced that Sunday evening paralysis, dreading Monday morning because we aren’t happy in our jobs. Maybe we want to leave but just haven’t had the time to look into other places of employment, or maybe we just need the money. But what if it is a job that causes your conscience to constantly nag, Am I doing the right thing?
I didn’t completely dislike my job as an abortion clinic director when I left. However, I certainly had reservations about the work we were doing. Those reservations grew stronger after I was called in to assist with an abortion. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/
Group Urges Pro-Lifers to Oppose the HHS Mandate Before Deadline
The deadline for the public to give its official input against the HHS mandate that requires companies to pay for birth control and abortion-causing drugs is April 8. One pro-life Catholic group wants pro-life people to weigh in before the deadline expires.
“One week. That’s the time left to tell Secretary Sebelius that you oppose the latest version of the HHS Mandate. The federal department is required to accept comments up until Monday, April 8,” Brian Burch of CatholicVote says. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/

Planned Parenthood Confirms its Extreme Baby-Killer Status
In testimony that shocked Florida legislators, a lobbyist for Planned Parenthood explained that “her organization believes the decision to kill an infant who survives a failed abortion should be left up to the woman seeking an abortion and her abortion doctor.” But what else should we expect from an organization that has made countless millions of dollars off the killing of unborn babies?

As reported March 29, 2012 by the Weekly Standard, these legislators were “considering a bill to require abortionists to provide medical care to an infant who survives an abortion,” similar to the Born Alive Protection Act that Barack Obama voted against four times before he was president. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/

“Euthanasia Lite” in the UK a Predictor of Obamacare’s FalloutCentralized health care destroys professionalism in medicine.
