Late-Term Abortion Ban May Force 35 Abortion Clinics to Close
Now
that the state of Texas has approved the bill to ban-late term abortions,
pro-abortion stalwarts are still complaining that as many as 35 abortions
clinics may be forced to close.
The 20-week abortion ban was the major focus of the bill, but the legislation also places stricter health and safety regulations on abortion clinics — which has formced many abortion clinics in other states that can’t guarantee they can protect the health of women to close. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/

If abortion were legal in the country of Chile, an 11-yr-old girl known as “Belén”
would likely still be enduring rape by her mother’s 31-yr-old boyfriend.Belén was recently discovered to be pregnant (now almost 15 weeks) when visiting her grandmother, who alerted authorities. The truth eventually tumbled out that the bf had been raping Belén since she was seven (some reports nine), threatening to kill her and her little brother if she told. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/
How Pro-Lifers Beat the Pro-Abortion Mob in Texas: An Eyewitness
Account
When
the Texas State Senate passed HB2 on Friday night, banning abortions after
20 weeks (when pre-born children have been scientifically proven to feel
pain) and instituting regulations on abortion facilities that will bring
them up to par with other surgical centers across the state, the scene outside
the Senate chamber was chaotic.
Abortion rights activists had descended upon the state capitol for a protest that became about much more than just one bill. Even Occupy Austin had joined the fray for demonstrations that, as our team witnessed, went far beyond the control of Planned Parenthood and NARAL.http://www.lifenews.com/

Most
Women Get Late-Term Abortions for Birth Control Reasons
