leading pro-life group has put together a web site to expose Douglas Karpen.

who are born alive in a gruesome abortion-infanticide process.
This week, LifeNews exposed Douglas Karpen — who, like the Philadelphia-based abortion practitioner, is also killing babies born alive after botched abortions. Unlike Gosnell, who killed babies by jamming medical scissors into their necks, at his Houston abortion clinic former employees of Karpen testify he goes one shocking step further, he kills the babies wit his bare hands by twisting their necks execution style. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/

pregnancy nationwide.

pushing legislation that would ban abortions on babies after 20 weeks of

Congressman Trent
Franks informed LifeNews today that he will advance legislation to provide
protection nationwide for unborn children who have the capacity to experience
pain while being aborted, a capacity defined in the bill as existing by
20 weeks fetal age. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/
The IRS will soon face more than controversy and Congressional hearings over
its discrimination of pro-life and conservative groups. The federal agency will
soon find itself in court.Next week, the ACLJ will directly confront the IRS with a lawsuit representing dozens of victims of its discriminatory actions. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/
IRS Commissioner Unsure if It’s OK Pro-Life Group Asked to
Disclose Prayer Content
As
the IRS discrimination scandal grows, the head of the agency had an embarrassing
moment this morning during a House hearing.
During intense questioning at a Congressional hearing this morning Rep. Aaron Schock asked acting commissioner Steven Miller if the IRS has asked a pro-life group about the content of its prayers. (see video at bottom). http://www.lifenews.com/2013/
Judge Stops Arkansas Law Banning Abortions at 12 Weeks
A judge has issued an injunction preventing the enforcement of the strongest
pro-life law on the books in the nation. The measure bans abortion after
12 weeks of pregnancy.
The state legislature had to override a gubernatorial veto to get the law in place. The Republican House voted 56-33 to override after the state Senate voted yesterday to do the same thing. The bill arrived on Beebe’s desk after clearing the Senate, 26-8, and the House, 68-20. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/

Gosnell may be behind bars, but his deadly legacy lives on.
Just when the abortion
lobby thought it could turn the page on the PR disaster of the Women’s
Medical Society, a new “house of horrors” is making headlines–this
time in Texas. There, the eye-witness accounts rival those of even Gosnell’s
clinic, as three former employees described a staggering amount of violence,
which would, on occasion, involve Douglas Karpen twisting off the heads of
newborn babies. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/
