Royal Baby: For Once the Entire World Knows a Baby is a Baby
Kate Middleton, the Duchess of Cambridge, gave birth to a baby boy today as the entire world waited with breath that was bated.

As the days turned into hours and the hours turned into minutes, people around the world awaited the birth of the “#RoyalBaby” — using that popular Twitter hashtag to engage in discussions about the birth of the child. But, as Christian writer Eric Metaxas pointed out during Middleton’s pregnancy, the world finally, for once, settled on the fact that a baby before birth is a human baby. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/07/22/royal-baby-for-once-the-entire-world-knows-a-baby-is-a-baby/
Irish Woman Dies Following Heart Attack After Legal Abortion in UK
A woman who traveled to England from Ireland has died following a legal abortion she obtained that resulted in a heart attack caused by “extensive internal blood loss” hours after having the abortion.

The woman was 20 weeks pregnant at the time of the abortion and news of her death comes at a time when reports show fewer women are traveling from Ireland to the United Kingdom for abortions. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/07/22/irish-woman-dies-following-heart-attack-after-legal-abortion-in-uk/
Putting the Royal Child in Perspective: Every Baby is Royal in God’s Eyes
While the world waits for the birth of Kate Middleton’s royal child, pro-life advocates have sent out tweets and comments today putting the heralded birth into perspective.
Bryan Kemper, the head of the pro-life youth organization Stand True, summed it up best.
“Every baby is royal in God’s eyes,” he said.
Obama Judicial Pick Cornelia Pillard: Abortion Needed to “Free Women From Maternity”
A lot can happen between now and Congress’s August recess — and that’s exactly what conservatives should be concerned about. Senate Democrats seem to be banking on the fact that Americans are on vacation and not paying attention, because liberal leaders are trying to slip in a quiet confirmation hearing for Cornelia “Nina” Pillard.

A Georgetown law professor, Pillard is the President’s latest nominee to the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals — and only the second one since President George W. Bush to wait less than two months for a hearing. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/07/22/obama-judicial-pick-cornelia-pillard-abortion-needed-to-free-women-from-maternity/


MSNBC Host Wears Tampon Earrings to Protest Texas Late-Term Abortion Ban
MSNBC host Melissa Harris Perry wore tampon earrings during a weekend broadcast, telling viewers they were made especially for her to wear to demonstrate her opposition to the ban on late-term abortions in Texas that Governor Rick Perry signed this week.

“My producer Lorena made for me, last week, some tampon earrings,” she said. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/07/21/msnbc-host-wears-tampon-earrings-to-protest-texas-late-term-abortion-ban/
As Kate Middleton Gives Birth, Some UK Babies are Aborted for Cleft Palates
Pro choicers who advocate for the right to kill viable fetuses based on disability, often claim it is only done in cases of severe abnormality. Baloney. Down syndrome isn’t a “severe” abnormality. Nor is dwarfism, conditions that often lead to late term abortions. Alas, 90% of our brothers and sisters with such conditions aren’t allowed to ever see the light of day.
But cleft palate? Apparently so. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/07/22/as-kate-middleton-gives-birth-some-uk-babies-are-aborted-for-cleft-palates/
While Brits and Americans Wait for Kate’s Royal Baby, They’re OK With Abortion
With Kate now a couple of days late, thousands and thousands of tweets under the hash tag #GreatKateWait are trending from common folk and journalists alike.
Many have expressed both humor and exasperation at the delay as the royal baby watch has entered its second week. It is hard to imagine such joy and near hysteria over an impending birth. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/07/21/while-brits-and-americans-wait-for-kates-royal-baby-theyre-ok-with-abortion/
Midwife Battles to Stop Describing of Anencephalic Children as “Monsters”
The presence of birth defects found before a child is born will often cause his parents to make a life-or-death decision about their child. Do they risk the unknowns and have a baby who could potentially be “abnormal?” Or do they “dispose” of the child and any potential “problems”?. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/07/22/midwife-battles-to-stop-describing-of-anencephalic-children-as-monsters/

Marie Stopes Clinic Kills Yet Another Woman in a Failed Abortion
With the news surfacing today that the British-based Marie Stopes abortion business is responsible for killing yet another woman in a failed legal abortion, pro-life campaigners are questioning whether the abortion giant is safe for women. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/07/22/marie-stopes-clinic-kills-yet-another-woman-in-a-failed-abortion/
