No
matter how frustrating things are on Capitol Hill, we can all be grateful
for one thing: Nancy Pelosi is no longer in charge.
Regardless of the GOP’s flaws, the former Speaker reminded pro-lifers how much worse the leadership could be. During a press conference Thursday, the House Minority Leader picked a fight with the men on the Judiciary Committee for passing Rep. Trent Franks’s (R-Ariz.) bill onto the House floor. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/

Planned Parenthood: We’re Happy to Abort Your Baby, But Happy
Father’s Day
The
Planned Parenthood abortion business wished fathers across the United States
a Happy Father’s Day today with an ironic picture of a man holding a
baby up in the air.
Never mind that Planned Parenthood shuts out men from becoming fathers every day and every year to the tune of hundreds of thousands of abortions done on their children. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/

Millions of Abortions Have Taken Place After 20 Weeks, Let’s
Ban Them
Psalm
139:9 says, “For You formed my inward parts; You wove me in my mother’s
womb.” (NAS) God, the creator of the universe created us in the womb!
I believe that life begins at conception. Preborn children are in fact children,
not merely fetuses and their lives should be protected from conception.
Yet, in America today, the most innocent among us are being savagely murdered
in the womb.

According to LifeNews.com,
in the 40 years since the Supreme Court ruled in favor of abortion in Roe
v. Wade, over 55 million abortions have destroyed the lives of unborn children.

Two weeks after giving birth to her second child, Julia Schoch received an email
that would forever change her life. It was February, 2003, and she was at home
recovering from a C-section with her husband, her two-year-old son, and her
newborn daughter when her husband Andy told her she had an email that she needed
to see immediately. It was from a friend who knew of a 13-year-old pregnant
rape victim who needed help. It turned out that Julia was exactly the help this
girl and her baby needed.“It’s one of those kind of bizarre God stories,” explains Julia. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/
Huffington Post Complains More States Have Abortion Waits Than
Gun Waits
You
should wait at least as long before buying a gun as before killing a baby
– if HuffPo contributors Jan Diehm and Katy Hall had their way, that
is. It’s an outrage to them that there are more waiting periods for
abortions than there are for guns.
Diehm and Hall posted a piece today complaining that more states require you to wait before having an abortion than before buying a gun. Using an infographic map, the article touted that 26 states have a waiting period for abortion, as opposed to 11 that require wait periods for firearms purchases. Fifteen states apparently have neither. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/
In the terminal phase of his illness, I admitted him, both to make him comfortable and also to relieve Janet, who was now in her seventh month and exhausted, from nursing a very sick husband. Sister and I agreed to waive visiting hours for Janet. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/

Mom Delivers Baby Two Months Early So Dying Husband Can See, He
Dies Afterwards
With
Father’s Day on the horizon tomorrow, one father in Kenya received
a special present — the ability to see his newborn child days before
he passed away.
From Kenya comes this heartbreaking
story from a doctor’s perspective of Robin, afflicted with liver cancer
but holding out hope for a baby on the way:With

Countering the Argument: “A Woman Has the Right to Control
Her Own Body”
The
underlying premise to the many arguments that fall within this category —
that “a woman has a right to control her own body” — is that
it would be unfair to the mother to “force” her to carry her unborn
child to term. Therefore, it should be her decision alone to decide whether
her unborn child lives or dies.

it would be unfair to the mother to “force” her to carry her unborn
child to term. Therefore, it should be her decision alone to decide whether
her unborn child lives or dies.
The argument unfolds
in roughly this fashion. It would be “unjust” to require the mother
to carry her baby to term because it would require her to quit school, abandon
her career, suffer for the rest of her life never knowing where her child
was if she placed the child for adoption, or face the stigma of “unwed”
motherhood, or an endless number of other scenarios. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/

TV Personality Beats Infertility, God Gives Her a Miracle Baby

Abortion “Denied” – What Activists Falsely Claim About the Consequences
When an author has a preexisting conclusion in mind, it’s not surprising that he or she would tailor the evidence to buttress their desired conclusion. Joshua Lang is a student in the U.C. Berkeley-U.C.S.F. Joint Medical Program. Why is the academic setting important. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/
Feminists:
Men Voting on Abortion is Bad, But Late-Term Abortions are Fine
Washington Post opinion columnist Dana Milbank was not unlike lots of liberal feminists this week, many of who were overcome with a case of the vapors over Congressman Trent Franks’ remarks on the low percentage of pregnancies that occur as the result of being raped. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/
