Abortion Clinic Offering $50 Off Sunday Abortions Now Offers $100
Off
The Orlando, Florida abortion clinic
that made national headlines for giving away coupons to poor women in a crisis
pregnancy so they can save money on their abortions is taking its scheme even
further.
The Orlando Women’s Clinic became the subject of criticism for offering a coupon for saving $50 on abortions on “Sundays only.” Now, the abortion business has posted a video advertisement on YouTube with a coupon for $100 off of abortions. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/

Planned
Parenthood Rakes in $542 Million in Tax Dollars Despite Committing Fraud
Last year,
as many Americans remember, The Susan G. Komen Foundation was concerned
that Planned Parenthood was not using grants that Komen provided for breast
cancer screenings as the grants required, so it announced it would no longer
provide grants to Planned Parenthood affiliates, and a political firestorm
erupted.

erupted.
The firestorm occurred
even though Komen was also concerned about allegations of “Medicaid
fraud” by Planned Parenthood and then ongoing congressional investigations.
This is because Planned Parenthood orchestrated a broadside political and
media campaign that brought Komen to its knees. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/
Once again, a federal judge has stopped Attorney General Eric Holder’s
political prosecution of a pro-life activist.President Obama’s Department of Justice filed charges against Angel Dillard for a letter she wrote to Dr. Mila Means, who had announced plans to open an abortion facility in Wichita, Kansas. Dillard said that she wrote the letter to point out the practical disadvantages and difficulties associated with an abortion clinic and to appeal to Means to reconsider opening the abortion business – not to threaten him. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/
March 2014 Court Battle May Determine if Mississippi Becomes Abortion
Free
A
court challenge to a Mississippi law that could close the last remaining
abortion clinic in that state has been set for trial beginning on March
3, 2014. At issue is a provision of the law that requires abortionists to
maintain local hospital privileges.
The Jackson Women’s Health Organization, owned by Diane Derzis, cannot comply with the new law and sued to block its enforcement in 2012. Derzis employs out-of-state abortionists who fly into Jackson, Mississippi, to do abortions then fly out, leaving women suffering complications without continuity of care. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/

are on the decline in Wisconsin and they are poised to drop further thanks

My Parents Were at the Circus When I Was Born
My
parents were at the circus when I was born. I’m sure they were having
a great time celebrating my brother’s sixth birthday, but I was at the
hospital, being born.

parents were at the circus when I was born. I’m sure they were having
a great time celebrating my brother’s sixth birthday, but I was at the
hospital, being born.
I was adopted at birth.
Everything was arranged before I was born, and when I was just five days old,
my brother, Jeremy, carried me out with the caseworker to present me to my
parents and bring me home. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/
Environmentalists
Pushing to Give Mother Nature a “Right to Life”
I can’t think of a faster way to destroy the economy than to give human-style “rights” to “nature.” But the “nature rights” movement is growing–and too few people are paying attention. Such “it can’t happen here” attitudes are dangerous because they allow one side to fight a war as the other side sleeps. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/

Twin Brothers Become Priests After Mom Rejects Doctors’ Abortion Advice
Millions of unborn children have lost their lives to abortion and the world will never know the kind of people they could have become. But two twin brothers in Chile have given us a glimpse of the kind of lives these babies could lead if they had survived abortion. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/

Canada, China, North Korea and U.S. Allow Abortions After 20 Weeks
In recent months, the liberal media have depicted Texas’s decision to ban non-medically necessitated abortions after 20 weeks as extreme as well as additional evidence of a Republican “war on women.”. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/

“Who Cares” if Dying Elderly People Die From Extreme Heat?
A reader forwards an article that analyzes how many Europeans die of heat in a bad summer. That’s an issue onto itself. For example, I recall the 2003 heat wave when about 14,000 mostly elderly French died in August because no one was looking out for them during the August vacation season. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/
