Actor
Mark Ruffalo Proud of His Mother for Aborting His Sibling
Actor
Mark Ruffalo is causing a stir with a column he wrote defending abortion.
But Ruffalo goes further than merely defending legalized abortion —
he apologizes for and defends his mother getting an illegal abortion of
his own sibling.
Kristan Hawkins of Students for Life of America responds to Ruffalo and is shocked he seemingly cares so little that his brother or sister was a victim of abortion. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/

Neighbor Tells Mom: Kill Your Autistic Teen Because He’s Annoying
Me
A family is making international
headlines this week after a neighbor, in a letter, told the mother of an autistic
teenage boy that she should “do the right thing” and euthanize him
to supposedly put him out of his misery.
From a local news report: Karla Begley told CityNews her son Max, 13, stays with his grandmother in the morning during the summer time. It was at that home in Newcastle where letter was delivered on Friday. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/

Only days after Kathleen Sebelius’ HHS announced awarding Planned Parenthood
of Metropolitan Washington, D.C. $375,000 to “promote” the Affordable
Care Act, comes word that an additional $655,000 is going to three more branches.But according to the Heritage Foundation, that million dollars is only the start: Planned Parenthood could also financially benefit from an Obamacare requirement that qualified insurance plans cover “essential community providers.” Those providers, according to a list released by the Department of Health and Human Services earlier this year, could include over 400 local Planned Parenthood affiliates. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/
I Worked With Her at Planned Parenthood, Now She Yells Obscenities
at Me
I
just stood there…and cried. I closed my eyes. I could feel their breath
on my neck. They were yelling inches from my ear. “Whose choice? My
choice.”
I had forgotten what this darkness felt like. I opened my eyes and saw a familiar face. It was one of my former friends from Planned Parenthood. I smiled and waved when I saw her. It was as if I had forgotten that we were no longer friends…not because of who I am, but because of what I now defend. She mouthed something profane at me…very slowly so I would be sure to catch what she said. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/

More Whistleblowers Could Cost Planned Parenthood Millions by Exposing
Fraud
Poor
Planned Parenthood, with its piddly one billion dollar annual income. It’s
just no match for evil, greedy whistleblowers, at least according to pro-abort
“reporter” Carolyn Jones at The Guardian:
Whistleblowers are the good
guys, right? They cry foul on charlatans and overreaching governments. But
what if your urge to disclose is lubricated by the promise of a whopping
pile of cash? What if powerful lobby groups are standing by to give you
first-rate legal representation? And what if your inside knowledge relates
to one of America’s most bitter cultural conflicts? http://www.lifenews.com/2013/Poor

“reporter” Carolyn Jones at The Guardian:
Why I Am a Young Woman Who Opposes Abortion and Planned Parenthood
In
my early 20’s, I was four months into a relationship and found myself
pregnant. I was raised with sound values from family and church, yet felt
alone as I was thousands of miles away from home while attending college.
I felt incredible shame that if family and friends knew of the choices I’d
made, they’d be let down.

I felt incredible shame that if family and friends knew of the choices I’d
made, they’d be let down.
This led me on a path
of self-doubt that I did not know was possible. Fear is what it all comes
down to, and I have learned that fear is distortion that masks itself in many
forms more often than not.
