Jury Sees Photos of Unborn Babies Kermit Gosnell Stabbed in the Neck
Photos of the bodies of several aborted babies were shown to the jury today, each with a gaping wound in the back of their necks, as testimony continued in the Kermit Gosnell murder case.
The babies were all intact and had the appearance of being partially mummified or dried. The brownish-black skin had shrunk as it dried, revealing the upper spinal column that authorities say was pierced with scissors in order to snip the spinal cords of newborn babies born alive during abortions by Gosnell. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/

Democratic Legislator: I Don’t Regret Killing My Baby in Abortion
A Democratic state legislator in Nevada is making waves for comments saying she does not regret killing her baby in an abortion.
Assemblywoman Lucy Flores, a Democrat from Las Vegas, makes the false assumption that being a teen mother is incompatible with completing ones education or a successful career and gives that as the reason why she had an abortion and has no regrets about it. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/

NPR Finally Covers Story of Kermit Gosnell Jabbing Babies’ Necks
At the same time we’ve written extensively about the murder trial of abortionist Kermit Gosnell, we’ve not neglected to mention that the major media—heavy hitting newspapers and the networks—have neglected the trial. With the exception of the local newspaper stories and some stories from the Associated Press, it’s as if the trial of a man charged with seven counts of first degree murder and one of third degree murder vanished down a memory hole.

So when I found that National Public Radio (NPR) did a piece last week, at the same time I was grateful my expectations were (shall we say) not high. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/
Planned Parenthood’s Honesty: Admitting Post-Birth Abortions Okay
In a stunning moment of honesty for an organization that is usually so careful to cloak its abortion practice with other more benign services, Planned Parenthood publicly supported allowing a baby born alive after a botched abortion to be killed.
A lobbyist for Planned Parenthood affiliates in Florida testified last week against legislation aimed at protecting the life of an infant born alive after an attempted abortion. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/In a stunning moment of honesty for an organization that is usually so careful to cloak its abortion practice with other more benign services, Planned Parenthood publicly supported allowing a baby born alive after a botched abortion to be killed.
GOP Chair: Do Democrats Endorse Infanticide Like Planned Parenthood?
The chairman of the Republican Party is challenging Democrats who support taxpayer funding of Planned Parenthood to condemn the abortion business for its recent stance in favor of infanticide.
Planned Parenthood has been condemned for what many see as promoting infanticide by opposing a bill in the state legislature that would provide medical care and legal protection for babies who are born alive after failed abortions. According to its lobbyist, “any decision that’s made should be left up to the woman, her family, and the physician.” http://www.lifenews.com/2013/
Doc Delivers Baby Still in Amniotic Sac, Would Abortion be OK?
A courageous young man from Oregon made history with the first recorded account of an American teenager with Down syndrome to reach a base camp of Mt. Everest. After nearly two weeks of walking, 15-year old Eli Reimer reached 17,600 feet. Eli’s father, Justin, joined his son for the ascent in an effort to raise funds for their family’s charity, The Elisha Foundation.
“It was surreal,” Justin Reimer told HLN in an interview. “To be standing there at that place and see the smile on Eli’s face and the sense of accomplishment that he had, and the fact that his health was better than any of us at that point… it was humbling, it was inspiring, just an amazing moment. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/

Media Encourage Elderly to Commit Suicide, Call it “Rational”
The media have become pro suicide. You see this all the time, now. When elderly, disabled, or ill people kill themselves, reports depict the deed as empowering or laudable exercises in personal autonomy.
The media have become pro suicide. You see this all the time, now. When elderly, disabled, or ill people kill themselves, reports depict the deed as empowering or laudable exercises in personal autonomy.
Latest example: The Australia media has played up an elderly woman–who announced ahead of time she was going to kill herself–and then did the deed. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/
Planned Parenthood Pays 14-Year-Olds to Push Black Girls Into Sex, AbortionPlanned Parenthood has developed and/or replicated multiple programs that rely on coercion, in the form of cash payments and other incentives, to lure teens to participate in its anything-goes sex indoctrination programs and research. The programs blatantly target minority students and are being funded with taxpayer dollars. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/
