North Carolina House Passes Pro-Life Bill That May Close Abortion

of closing more abortion clinics in the state — following the closure
of one that couldn’t meet basic health and safety standards.
The North
Carolina state House has approved a strong pro-life bill that has the potential
of closing more abortion clinics in the state — following the closure
of one that couldn’t meet basic health and safety standards.
The state House
approved SB 353 on a 74-41 vote and the bill now heads back to the state
Senate for a concurrence vote after changes in the House. The bill passed
the Senate, 27-14.
As Texas moves a bill forward that would ban late-term abortions and could put
some abortion facilities out of business that can’t follow basic health
and safety laws, abortion activists are lamenting how states are passing so
many pro-life laws.A pro-abortion group that is a former Planned Parenthood affiliate and still receives funding for the abortion business, says the number of laws approved this year by state legislatures is ahead of 2012 and could break the record number of pro-life laws set in 2011. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/

Cecile Richards Can’t Say if Late-Term Abortions on Healthy
Babies is Wrong
The
typical mantra for Planned Parenthood and other abortion proponents who
want late-term abortions to be kept legal is to appeal to hard cases.
The rationale usually involves
a woman who desperately wanted her unborn child but, because of some ultra-rare
medical condition that may or may not necessitate an abortion, the mother
decides to take her baby’s life instead of hold out hope or seek medical
treatment for her or her child. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/The

with an extended lament about the current state of affairs regarding the success
of pro-life legislation in Texas, Merfish explains that the story of her mother’s

Matusoff Merfish (an avid abortion activist), shared her abortion story with
each of her daughters shortly before they left for college. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/
