Abortionist
Curtis Boyd: “Am I Killing? Yes, I Am. I Know That.”
At
age 76, Curtis Boyd, infamous late-term abortionist, has performed thousands
of abortions on viable babies. Ironically, Boyd was raised in a Christian
home in Texas, and later in life became an ordained Baptist minister.
Then, with complete disregard to God’s commandments, Boyd left the
church and opened up a back alley abortion clinic in Athens, Texas.
Before Roe V. Wade in 1973, the Supreme Court Decision that decriminalized abortion in the United States, Boyd was aborting children by the hundreds. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/

Majority
of Americans Back 20-Week Abortion Ban, Women More Than Men
Despite
a so-called War on Women by pro-lifers when it comes to banning abortions
after five months, a new national poll finds a majority of Americans support
such a ban and women are more likely than men to back it.
Despite
a so-called War on Women by pro-lifers when it comes to banning abortions
after five months, a new national poll finds a majority of Americans support
such a ban and women are more likely than men to back it.
A Quinnipiac University
national poll released today found “the Republican-led effort in Congress
and in many state capitols to reduce from 24 weeks to 20 weeks the time
period during a pregnancy in which almost all abortions should be legal
is striking a chord with voters.” http://www.lifenews.com/2013/
Here’s Beth’s story. Beth is a photographer, and I will be sharing
more in upcoming months about a project she is working on that embraces the
beauty of life.“I am 25 years old and a product of multiple failed abortion attempts. I was born in India to an unwed 15 year old who felt her only option was abortion. My birth mother went to abort me but was stopped due to running into an old friend of hers, who was also connected with my (adoptive) parents, which is where the adoption process began. In the care of this women, my birth mother tried again to get rid of her unborn child. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/
Lawmaker: Wendy Davis Should Pay for Special Session to Ban Abortions
Wendy
Davis and the pro-abortion mob in Texas forced the state to spend possibly
as much as $2.4 million to hold another special session to complete it’s
working to ban late-term abortions.
One legislator has an idea on how to recoup the expenses: Make Davis, who has raked in a large sum of money to her political action committee, pay for it. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/

Mainstream Media Ignores Massive Fraud at Planned Parenthood Abortion
Biz
Is
fraud a religion story? Not necessarily. Are the actions of Planned Parenthood
religion stories? Not necessarily.
But what about the larger issue
of the ongoing problems that the mainstream news media have had covering
abortion and other social issues related to religion? Is it worth noting
here, for instance, the very odd lack of coverage of Planned Parenthood’s
recent settlement over fraud allegations? http://www.lifenews.com/2013/Is

Patients are Being Euthanized Every Day – And It’s Getting
Worse
But
I wonder how many people actually read this, or are even aware of the World
Medical Association and their strong stance against this growing issue. Indeed,
the vast majority of Americans have no idea that euthanasia is so widespread;
occurring every single day in the United States and worldwide.

In fact, it is getting
worse and most of the general public are unaware how frequently patients,
whether agreeing to it or not, are being purposely killed, and in the most
barbaric ways. This includes the elderly, those with Alzheimer’s, the
cognitively disabled and others. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/
Pro-Lifers
Will Protest Mainstream Media’s Bias in Abortion Coverage
Last week, we sent letters to the “big three” news distributors – ABC, CBS, and NBC – demanding a better standard in abortion reporting. We’re tired of the mainstream media censoring the facts of the abortion debate and depriving Americans of information. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/

Genetic Testing to Abort “Imperfect” Babies? Who are We to Judge?
Imagine you and your spouse find out you’re expecting. Having experienced this moment a few times, I know there’s nothing quite like it. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/
Abortions
Decline 7.4 Percent in Arizona Thanks to Pro-Life Laws
A new report from the state health department in Arizona shows the number of abortions there has declined more than seven percent, thanks in part to the passage of more pro-life laws limiting abortions. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/
North Dakota 20-Week Abortion Ban Takes Effect, Not Challenged in Court
Pro-lifers know we have to hold our breath every time we pass protective legislation. Almost inevitably, the laws are challenged. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/

Why
Did North Carolina Not Inspect a Filthy Abortion Clinic Since 2006?
Following a routine inspection—the first since 2006– the Femcare abortion clinic in Asheville, North Carolina has had its license suspended. It is the third North Carolina abortion clinic to have sanctions imposed in just a matter of months. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/

It’s
“Anti-Science” to Oppose Creating Human Embryos With Three Parents?
Ha! Hank Campbell, the founder of Science 2.0, wants me booted from National Review. Apparently I am “anti science” because I wrote here opposing three-parent IVF based on moral and ethical concerns. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/

Forney: From Abortion Regret to a Life of Redemption and Pro-Life Leadership
Regrets — everyone has them and one of the true indicators of a person’s character is how well he or she can learn from his or her mistakes, failures and errors and move forward to a productive and meaningful life. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/
