Texas
Planned Parenthood’s Fraud Was $4.3 Million, Three Times More Than
Announced
Texas
Attorney General Greg Abbott announced on July 24 that his office had
obtained a $1.4 million settlement against Planned Parenthood Gulf Coast
for Medicaid fraud, with the settlement to be split between the state
of Texas, the federal government, and the whistleblower (former PPGC employee
Karen Reynolds).
It turns out the AG was apparently only announcing his state’s cut. The total settlement is actually $4.3 million – almost $3 million more than previously known. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/

Governor Shuts Down Pro-Abortion Protests With Chocolate Chip Cookies
A
gathering of North Carolina pro-abortion activists are upset with North Carolina
Gov. Pat McCrory. They have been protesting outside the governor’s mansion
in response to his signing a pro-life bill that could close down shoddy abortion
clinics.
McCrory hasn’t been willing to meet with the rabid abortion activists, but he did stop by Tuesday afternoon with a plate of chocolate chip cookies. The gesture was so nice that the abortion activists were befuddled, made up a silly chant, and went home early. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/

Congresswoman’s
Miracle Baby May be the First to Survive Potter’s Syndrome
Abigail
Rose Beutler’s birth has been met with significantly less fanfare than
that of the royal baby, Prince George Alexander Louis Mountbatten-Windsor,
but it was every bit as miraculous: Despite being given a prenatal diagnosis
generally considered a death sentence, Abigail was born weighing two pounds,
12 ounces at 28 weeks’ gestation and has survived two weeks.

of Rep. Jaime Herrera Beutler (R-WA), was diagnosed with Potter’s Syndrome
in utero. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/
A woman named Julia Gallardo has posted video from 2011 with a shocking claim
– that her friend had a late-term abortion, but was not properly anesthetized
during the procedure and heard her baby girl, who had been born alive, cry.She also tearfully states that her friend’s family later found out that the baby girl had survived and was placed for adoption. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/
MSNBC Host Thomas Roberts Calls Abortion Clinics “Choice Providers”
For
years, MSNBC has made it clear where it stands on the issue of abortion
in America: on the side of promoting abortion rights advocates against any
restriction or regulation on the taking of unborn life. Unsurprisingly,
one of MSNBC’s most fervent abortion activists is Thomas Roberts, who
apart from using his daily MSNBC show to promote gay marriage, has taken
it upon himself to rail against any abortion safety laws as limiting “choice.”
But on his July 30 program, Roberts took things a step further with Orwellian language designed to avoid the A-word. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/

“She Didn’t Do It!” Prayers Save Baby From Abortion
at the Last Minute
“I
will set him in the safety for which he longs”. The verse from Psalm
12:5 floated through my mind as hot tears rushed down my cheeks. “Set
him in the safety?” I assumed it was God telling me the baby my friends
and I we’re earnestly praying for was aborted and now safe in heaven.
I had every reason to believe that must be the case.

Minutes prior a lady
inside the abortion clinic texted me, saying her friend had left the waiting
room to go behind the door. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/

Studies Show Higher Risk of Suicide for Women Following an Abortion
One of the main arguments given for legalizing abortion in Ireland is that troubled women would become suicidal if they were forced to carry their pregnancies to term. Ironically, this was originally how abortions were made available in many US states before Roe versus Wade. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/
