Obama Admin OKs Morning After Pill for Young Girls, Sexual Predators
The Obama Administration has dropped its legal battle against a judge’s decision that would allow young girls to purchase the Plan B morning after pill over the counter.

The decision allows anyone to purchase the drug and opponents of the decision say it paves the way for male sexual predators to purchase the drug for girls they victimize, by removing safeguards currently in place. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/06/11/obama-admin-oks-morning-after-pill-for-young-girls-sexual-predators/

Bill to Ban Abortions After 20 Weeks Needed to Stop More Kermit Gosnells
A U.S. House committee will vote tomorrow on a bill that would ban abortions nationwide after 20 weeks of pregnancy and the editors at National Review released an editorial today about why the measure is so important.

They say the bill is necessary to stop future abortion practitioners like Kermit Gosnell, who kill babies in gruesome abortion procedures that are tantamount to infanticide. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/06/11/bill-to-ban-abortions-after-20-weeks-needed-to-stop-more-kermit-gosnells/
Girl Scouts USA Denies Joining Planned Parenthood at Abortion Conference
When Girl Scouts USA (GSUSA) gets criticized for their controversial practices, they usually offer vague statements and empty reassurances. Last week was no exception.
I suppose my recent Girl Scout article hit a nerve. Last week, GSUSA released a statement attempting to respond to the concerns I presented. I thought it was interesting that they responded to fairly insignificant me, a lone teenage girl. You see, Missouri Right to Li­­fe, a major player on the pro-life stage, recently issued a very informative and well-documented policy statement about GSUSA. GSUSA has been curiously quiet about those serious concerns. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/06/11/girl-scouts-deny-joining-planned-parenthood-at-huge-abortion-conference/
Planned Parenthood Celebrates Obama Giving Morning After Pill to Kids
The reaction from pro-abortion and pro-life groups to the Obama administration’s decision to withdraw opposition to sales of the morning after pill to women and girls of any age is markedly different.

The Planned Parenthood abortion business is elated: Planned Parenthood Federation of America president Cecile Richards released the following statement hailing tonight’s announcement by the Obama Administration. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/06/11/planned-parenthood-celebrates-obama-giving-morning-after-pill-to-kids/


IRS Agent Who Told Group to Keep Faith Private Opposed Pro-Life Position
Yesterday, LifeNews broke the news that an IRS agent was caught on tape telling a pro-life group attempting to obtain nonprofit status that it had to keep its faith views to itself.

Alliance Defending Freedom, a pro-life legal group, made the audio available today of IRS officials telling a group that provides support to women in abusive pregnancy situations to keep its faith to itself. In the recorded phone conversation, an IRS agent lectures the president of the organization about forcing its religion and beliefs on others and inaccurately explains that the group must remain neutral on issues such as abortion. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/06/11/irs-agent-who-told-group-to-keep-faith-private-opposed-pro-life-position/
Doctor Saves Life of Baby With Deadly Brain Aneurysm Using Superglue
Everyone once in awhile comes a story that seems to be ripped right from the script of a movie nighttime television drama. But real life was more exciting than fiction for one family and their little girl.
As the Washington Times reports, an innovative doctor was able to save the life of a 20-day-old girl with a deadly aneurysm thanks to a usage of surgical superglue the manufacturer probably never expected. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/06/11/doctor-saves-life-of-baby-with-deadly-brain-aneurysm-using-superglue/
Bollywood Star Commits Suicide After Massive Guilt Following Abortion
Jiah Khan is a British Indian actress who appeared in Bollywood films and received numerous awards for some of the top-grossing films of the genre. None of the success, however, could overcome her guilt after her abortion and, on June 2, she was found dead in her apartment in her residence in the Sagar Sangeet building in Juhu, Mumbai after hanging herself.
Khan committed suicide by hanging herself from a ceiling fan at around 11:45 p.m. in a bedroom of her residence. Over the weekend, a 6 page suicide note was found by her sister that discussed how she planned to end her life. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/06/11/bollywood-star-commits-suicide-after-massive-guilt-following-abortion/

Newspaper Highlights Abortionist Who Twists Off Necks of Babies Born Alive
Yesterday The Houston Chronicle posted a banner headline article on page A-1 that continued to hammer late-term abortionist Douglas Karpen, noting details of several malpractice suits that alleged horrific abortion complications, including the late-term abortion death of 15-year old Denise Montoya in 1985. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/06/11/newspaper-highlights-abortionist-who-twists-off-necks-of-babies-born-alive/

One-Armed Beauty Queen Wins Miss Iowa, Headed to Miss America Pageant
Beauty in today’s culture is so often associated with perfection — to the point that magazines face criticism for airbrushed models and young women starve themselves in order to obtain the super-thin body necessary to make it big. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/06/11/one-armed-beauty-queen-wins-miss-iowa-headed-to-miss-america-pageant/

Activists Hold Washington D.C. Vigil to “Pray” for Abortion
Several radical pro-abortion organizations came together in Washington, D.C., Tuesday for a “vigil” to pray for “safe, legal, affordable abortion.”. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/06/11/activists-hold-washington-d-c-vigil-to-pray-for-abortion/
Belgium Parliament Will Vote to Allow Doctors to Euthanize Children
Child euthanasia: It’s all over but the final voting in Belgium as the Parliament agrees across party lines that doctors should be able to euthanize children. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/06/11/belgium-parliament-votes-to-allow-doctors-to-euthanize-children/
Supreme Court Prevents Pro-Lifers From Displaying Abortion Pictures
The Supreme Court declined to take a case from Colorado, which saw a lower court prevent pro-life advocates from publicly displaying pictures of babies victimized by abortion. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/06/11/supreme-court-prevents-pro-lifers-from-displaying-abortion-pictures/

Toledo, Ohio Abortion Clinic Closes After Breaking Health, Safety Laws
In April, Ohio state officials ordered the temporary closure of an abortion clinic in Toledo that is breaking a state health and safety law designed to protect women’s health. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/06/11/toledo-ohio-abortion-clinic-closes-after-breaking-health-safety-laws/
Mother of Baby Rescued From Sewage Pipe Victimized by One-Child Policy
When Baby 59’s unmarried mother delivered him in her bathroom, she thought her child would remain a secret. But after the baby slipped from her hands into the sewer pipe, her secret became global news. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/06/11/mother-of-baby-rescued-from-sewage-pipe-likely-victimized-by-one-child-policy/
China Launches Huge Campaign to Force Women to Get IUDs or be Sterilized

Key New York Lawmaker Won’t Vote for Cuomo’s Late-Term Abortion Bill
A key Republican state Senator pro-abortion groups hoped would join abortion activists in supporting a bill by Governor Andrew Cuomo to allow abortion on demand says he doesn’t support the bill. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/06/11/key-new-york-lawmaker-wont-vote-for-andrew-cuomos-late-term-abortion-bill/
Combating the “Baby Has No Right to Live in Her Womb” Argument
Most arguments for abortion take relatively little effort to dismantle. “It’s not alive and not a human being” are empirically false, which also makes appealing to church-state separation a non-starter. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/06/11/combating-the-baby-has-no-right-to-live-in-her-womb-argument/
Washington Post Ignores How It Endorses Same Candidates as NARAL
Virginia Democrats go to the polls Tuesday to select their nominees for lieutenant governor and attorney general (gubernatorial candidate Terry McAuliffe is unopposed). Turnout will be very low – thanks in part to The Washington Post. Notice of the primary election can’t be found until page B-6. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/06/11/washington-post-ignores-how-it-endorses-same-candidates-as-naral/
