Ariel Castro Gets Life Without Parole for Kidnapping, Raping Women and Forcing Abortions
After initially pleading not guilty to a 977-count indictment that includes charges related to kidnapping women and holding them in the basement of his home, where he raped them and assaulted them to the point of causing abortions, Ariel Castro has accepted a plea deal.

Castro took the deal, according to an AP report, to avoid the death penalty. The plea means the victims and their families will be spared a long trial, having to endure the grisly details of Castro’s lengthy and horrific crimes. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/07/26/ariel-castro-gets-life-without-parole-for-kidnapping-raping-women-and-forcing-abortions/
North Carolina Governor Will Sign Pro-Life Bill Stopping Abortions
Late Thursday night, the North Carolina state Senate passed a pro-life omnibus bill that would stop abortions by helping pregnant women and stopping taxpayer financed abortions.

The State Senate concurred by a vote of 32-13 with the State House, on SB 353, Health and Safety Law Changes. The State House worked with the Governor and his Department of Health and Human Services to reach an agreement for a compromise bill that accomplished pro-life goals in a way the governor would sign into law. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/07/26/north-carolina-governor-signs-pro-life-bill-stopping-abortions/
Hey Nancy Pelosi: It’s Abortion Activists Who Need a Lesson on the Birds and Bees
I’ve been so enraged recently by the comments made by Nancy Pelosi about the presumed ignorance of pro-life leaders for many reasons. I was happy when I came across this article as I found it particularly poignant.
Pro-abortion advocates continually trumpet their advancement of “comprehensive sex education” but if this is really the larger portion of their goal as they claim, why aren’t they doing their job? We all know the reason, pro-abortion advocates are just that; pro-abortion, at any time, for any price. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/07/26/hey-nancy-pelosi-pro-lifers-dont-need-a-lesson-on-the-birds-and-bees-your-side-does/
Abortion Advocates Go Nuts Over Pro-Lifers Distributing Fetal Models
Abortion advocates fight tooth and nail to hide the humanity of the child in the womb. Nothing is more detrimental to their cause than the public realizing the truth about what abortion does to a human being.

That is why they so vehemently oppose measures to ensure mothers get the chance to see the sonogram image of their unborn child. They threw a fit when Facebook created the option for users to make pages for their unborn babies. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/07/26/abortion-advocates-go-nuts-over-pro-lifers-distributing-fetal-models/

Vulnerable 2014 Democrats Oppose Banning Abortions After Five Months
Democrats in the U.S. Senate who face the prospects of tough re-election battles in 2014 are finally taking a position on the bill to ban late-term abortions after five months of pregnancy. They are opposing the measure — putting them at odds with a majority of Americans who support it.

As John McCormack from the Weekly Standard reports: http://www.lifenews.com/2013/07/26/vulnerable-2014-democrats-oppose-banning-abortions-after-five-months/
Activists Vandalize Church in Chile During Mass After Girl Rejects Abortion
Upset that an 11-year-old girl who became pregnant after she was raped decided to reject having an abortion, abortion activists in Chile vandalized a prominent Catholic church in the country — during Mass.
From an AP report: Abortion-rights demonstrators vandalized Chile’s main cathedral during a Mass and used pews as barricades during clashes with police.
Planned Parenthood Staffer Pleads Guilty to $100,000 Check Forging Scheme
A New York-based staffer for the Planned Parenthood abortion business has pleaded guilty to stealing more than $100,000 from the abortion giant via forged checks.
From a local news report: A Planned Parenthood staff accountant has pleaded guilty to stealing $102,7333 between August 2012 and March 2013.
Vanity Fair Writer Exploits Wife’s Breast Cancer to Attack Pro-Lifers
In what will almost surely be a contender for 2013’s Most Shamelessly Malicious Title in a Mainstream Publication, Vanity Fair’s Kurt Eichenwald writes that his wife Theresa’s battle with breast cancer has, for him, brought into focus “the Murderous Cruelty of Conservatives.”. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/07/26/vanity-fair-writer-exploits-wifes-breast-cancer-to-attack-pro-lifers/

Study Links Abortion With Depression, PTSD, and Drug Abuse

Disagree With a Pro-Lifer’s Strategy? Don’t Compare Them to Planned Parenthood
