Clinic Worker Calls Gosnell’s Baby Jabbing Method a “Beheading”
An
unlicensed medical worker at the abortion clinic Kermit Gosnell ran in
Philadelphia had a very graphic description for the practice Gosnell employed
where he jabbed medical scissors into the backs of babies’ necks
to kill them.
Gosnell is charged with more than 30 criminal counts including the killing of seven newborn infants and a female patient in a botched abortion. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/

Judge Orders Sales of Morning After Pill to Teens Nationwide
A
federal judge has ordered the federal government to make the morning after
pill available for sale to teenagers nationwide.
Judge Edward Korman, a federal judge based in New York City, heard arguments in a case filed by the pro-abortion Center for Reproductive Rights over whether the FDA should have ultimately allowed teens to buy the Plan B drug without a doctor’s order. The pro-abortion group says such drugs are being held to a different standard than other drugs and that decisions are not based on science, but on politics. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/

1,270 Babies Born Alive After Failed Abortions in the U.S.
A shocking
figure from a hearing on a bill in Florida should capture the attention
of people across the country: hundreds of babies are born alive following
botched abortions every year.
A shocking
figure from a hearing on a bill in Florida should capture the attention
of people across the country: hundreds of babies are born alive following
botched abortions every year.
Most of the attention
that has been focused on a controversial statement by a Planned Parenthood
lobbyist has centered on the abortion business’ opposition to a bill
to require appropriate medical care for any baby who survive an abortion.
But the state representative who sponsored the bill told members of the
Florida committee that held a hearing on it a shocking number. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/
Gosnell Employee: “It Would
Rain Fetuses and Blood” Everywhere
Thursday,
former Gosnell employee Steven Massof, gave shocking testimony concerning the
inner workings of Gosnell’s shoddy abortion business. He described a chaotic
office where conditions continuously degraded over the nine years he worked
there.
Massof has been incarcerated since
his arrest with Gosnell and seven others in 2011. He is a short, thin man, whose
ill-fitting green prison jumpsuit seemed to swallow his slight frame. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/Thursday,

Pro-Life Groups Slam Morning After Pill Ruling: Girls Will be Exploited
Pro-life
groups are not happy with today’s decision by a federal judge to allow
sales of the morning after pill to teenagers, including girls of any age.
Anna Higgins, J.D., director of the Center for Human Dignity at the Family Research Council, expressed serious concerns regarding a federal judge’s order today that the “morning-after” pill be available to girls of all ages without a prescription. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/
Gruesome Gosnell Case Shows Abortion Clinic Workers Need Prayer
I have been avoiding the creepy Gosnell case. Honestly, I scroll away quickly
when I see his name in a headline. Coincidentally, I was asked to write
about the thing I’ve been avoiding so diligently.
In my research, I read the grand jury report. Well, I read about 127 pages of the over 200 page report and finally could not continue to read any more. I do not know about the details in the remaining pages, but the ones I read were too devastating for me to take in and come up with anything to say that hasn’t been said. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/

Activists Use New Stealth Methods to Recruit, Train Abortion Doctors
Frustrated
by the persistence of shame attached to abortion, international abortion activists
are employing stealth methods to recruit and train abortionists while scholars
are attempting to stigmatize healthcare providers’ right to object on
grounds of conscience.

“Abortion stigma
is affected both by legislative initiatives that establish fetal personhood
and gestational age limits and by discourses that influence cultural values,”
write Dr. Allison Norris and her colleagues in a Women’s Health Issues
article. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/
UN
Human Rights Council Ditches Pro-Family Measure to Promote Abortion
The Human Rights Council set aside a resolution to protect the family as member states focused instead on a controversial resolution which could expose children to early sexualization and abortion, and would undermine the rights of parents. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/

Legal Group Defends Pro-Life Free Speech at the Supreme Court
Yesterday, the American Freedom Law Center (AFLC) filed a “Friend of the Court” brief in the United States Supreme Court, urging the Court to review and reverse a Colorado Appellate Court decision which banned the public display of “gruesome” abortion images because they might offend children. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/
Control Over Their Bodies is Not Why Women Say They Get Abortions
We hear a lot about bodily rights during the abortion debate. Moving beyond the abortion debate to society in general, I think it’s clear that bodily rights are fundamental. It seems most other pro-lifers think it’s clear too. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/
Oregon Woman Charged Over Profiting From Man’s Assisted Suicide
Oregon Radio Station KZTV is reporting that a woman has been charged with “criminal mistreatment and aggravated theft” in a case involving assisted suicide.
