Planned
Parenthood Abortion Biz Rushes Woman to Hospital, 32nd Emergency Since
2012
Pro-life
activists were on the scene at Planned Parenthood in St. Louis, Missouri,
this morning at approximately 11:10 a.m. when an ambulance arrived and
rushed a gurney into the abortion clinic.
According to an eyewitness report from James Capps, an intern for the Coalition For Life St. Louis, a woman was brought out of the clinic about 10 minutes later while two Planned Parenthood employees tried to prevent anyone from photographing the event. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/

NYC Mayoral Candidate Christine Quinn Wants Morning After Pill
for 11-Year-Olds
New York City mayoral candidate
Christine Quinn is a long-time abortion advocate. She has a history of promoting
abortion, attacking pregnancy centers offering women alternatives, and she
has received Planned Parenthood’s endorsement in the mayoral campaign.
But Quinn is now pushing one idea that may take the cake when it comes to her extremism: she wants girls as young as 11 to get the morning after pill. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/

Catholic
Groups Receive Taxpayer Funding to Promote Pro-Abortion Obamacare
While
it is outrageous that Planned Parenthood is receiving more than a million
dollars in federal “navigator” grants to enroll customers in Obamacare,
it is not a surprise.
While
it is outrageous that Planned Parenthood is receiving more than a million
dollars in federal “navigator” grants to enroll customers in Obamacare,
it is not a surprise.
It is even more
outrageous to learn that two Catholic organizations applied for and received
“navigator” grants to facilitate enrolling people in Obamacare.
Ascension Health, the largest Catholic and nonprofit health system, received
a $202,706 navigator grant in Alabama and $165,683 in Kansas. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/
A recent, anonymous letter to the mother of a 13-year-old autistic boy named
Max has been gaining a lot of attention on social media this week – and
for good reason. The letter, sent by a neighbor, does a phenomenal job of showing
us all how our society has come to devalue life and to treat our fellow human
beings as disposable. Those involved in this story live in Ontario, Canada.Much like in the United States, abortion in Canada has little to no restrictions or gestational age limit. As proven by this letter, many people on either side of the border hold the belief that some lives are better and more worthy of living than others. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/
New Web Site Tracks Girl Scouts’ Ties to Planned Parenthood,
Abortion
The
pro-life movement has been concerned for a number of years about the ties
between the Girl Scouts and the Planned Parenthood abortion business. Now,
another web site has been launched to track the Girl Scouts’ ties to
the abortion agenda.
Those ties prompted the launch of MyGirlScoutCouncil.com, that documents specific concerns on a council-by-council basis with a comprehensive approach. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/

“Duck Dynasty” Star Blasts Abortion Culture: “What
in the World Happened to Us?”
In
a video featuring Duck Dynasty’s Phil Robertson, the TV star –
in what appears to be a religious sermon – declares his pro-life stance
on the issue of abortion. When discussing the ethics of, and that there’s
even a debate on, the issue, he asks, “What in the world happened to
us?”
“Listen, from the time you
started inside your mother’s womb, Thomas Jefferson had it right, you
have the God-given right to life for crying out loud. You’re this long
(pointing to his finger). You’re a week old inside your mother. They
suck you out of there when you’re about like that (point to finger
again). You wouldn’t be here tonight! http://www.lifenews.com/2013/In

Baby With Deadly Brain Aneurysm Doing Better After Doctor Saved
Life With Superglue
The
baby whose live was saved after a physician used superglue to save her is
doing well.
The
baby whose live was saved after a physician used superglue to save her is
doing well.
Back in June, LifeNews
reported on how an innovative doctor was able to save the life of a 20-day-old
girl with a deadly aneurysm thanks to a usage of surgical superglue the manufacturer
probably never expected. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/
Time
Magazine: Baby Boomers “Too Special” to Die Naturally, Should Use
Assisted Suicide
Oh good grief. We Baby Boomers are such a pain. It’s always about us: Me. Me. Me. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/

“This Afternoon I Had an Abortion:” When Children Are No Longer a Blessing
Every once in a while, I read something that surprises me with its impact. On Tuesday, I stumbled across an article posted on the “Gender Focus” website just a few minutes before—the opening sentence was: “This afternoon I had an abortion.”. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/
“Against
Abortion But For Choice” is a Cop-Out
In today’s often polarized abortion debates, one common middle position is the stance that says “I’m not in favor of abortion, but I think people should have the right to choose.” At first, this sounds like admirably enlightened and judicious. It sounds like it finds a reasonable middle ground. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/
Pro-Life Catholic Group Back in Court to Challenge Obamacare’s Abortion Mandate
Priests for Life is back in court to fight for religious freedom. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/

UN
Conference Pressures Nations in Latin America, Caribbean to Legalize Abortion
Radical extremists infiltrated yet another UN meeting to promote their agenda which has failed to advance since the population and development conference at Cairo and which is increasingly opposed at major UN meetings by a growing coalition of countries with pro-life laws and policies. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/
