Planned
Parenthood Abortion Business Has Closed 24 Clinics in 2013
Planned
Parenthood offices across the nation have closed this year at a record
rate, according to data compiled by Operation Rescue. At least 24 Planned
Parenthood sites have closed in so far in 2013. This number includes 3
surgical abortion clinics, 3 clinics that dispensed abortion pills, and
19 offices that referred for abortions.
“Abortion numbers are down so there is less demand for Planned Parenthood. Couple that with recent scandals involving Planned Parenthood that have resulted increased disapproval of their abortion business and it’s easy to see why these clinics are closing on such a large scale,” said Troy Newman, President of Operation Rescue. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/

Nidal Hasan Found Guilty, Reports Exclude Unborn Baby From Tally
of Those Killed
Nidal Hasan has been convicted
of killing 13 people in the 2009 shooting rampage at Fort Hood, but media
reports on the conviction are ignoring the fact that 14 people died that day
— including an unborn child.
As AP reports: The Army psychiatrist acknowledged carrying out the attack in a crowded waiting room where unarmed troops were making final preparations to deploy to Afghanistan and Iraq. Thirteen people were killed and more than 30 wounded. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/

Prince
William on Being a New Dad: “Things Affect Me Differently Now”
In an
interview with CNN this week, Prince William proves he’s just like
other parents – only too happy to show off his new son, George.
In an
interview with CNN this week, Prince William proves he’s just like
other parents – only too happy to show off his new son, George.
I felt this part
of the interview (full transcript) was his best commentary: “I think
the last few weeks for me have been just a very different emotional experience.
Something I never thought I would feel myself. And I find, again it’s
only been a short period, but a lot of things affect me differently now.
http://www.lifenews.com/2013/
Just when I think I’ve heard it all, I come across something that makes
me pause in disgust. This week, I read an article from the Huffington Post titled,
“How Do You Feel about Sex and Teenage Sleepovers?”There’s no doubt how I feel, but let’s first take a look at what the author said. In the first paragraph she asks, “Why not teach children how to have sex well, the way you teach them how to do other things?” She elaborates, describing parents inviting the teenager’s partner over, having a nice dinner and then the couple “toddles” off to bed together. (In reality, that’s just permitting the behavior to take place, not actually educating.) http://www.lifenews.com/2013/
Loving Kate: A Prenatal Down Syndrome Diagnosis Only Made Me Love
Her More
This
heart-warming story, the kind that only someone who has a child with Down
syndrome could write with such honest and encouragement , appeared at sippinglemonade.com.
Lauren Warner wrote her essay in the form of a letter to a mother who has
just received a prenatal Down syndrome diagnosis.
The greatest difference is that Lauren learned about her daughter Kate not before she was born, but after. Even so, “I know how you feel.” http://www.lifenews.com/2013/

Emmy-Award-Winning Actress Holland Taylor Promotes Abortion in
New Video
Seventy
year-old Holland Taylor has played a wide-range of supporting roles in numerous
television productions as well as bit parts in just as many movies. In 2013
the Emmy award-winning actress wrote and starred in a one-woman and quite
rhapsodic Broadway show about former (rabidly pro-abortion) Texas Governor,
Ann Richards.
Although Taylor was critically
acclaimed for her turn as the alcoholic one-term governor and mother of
Planned Parenthood president Cecile Richards, the show closed much earlier
than anticipated. Incredibly poor showing at the box office makes it seem
that even übber-liberal New Yorkers (like those of us in the real world)
could only take Richards in small doses. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/Seventy

Blistering Ad Exposes New Jersey Candidate Cory Booker’s Pro-Abortion
Record
American
Commitment Action Fund (AC Action Fund) and Susan B. Anthony List (SBA List)
are jointly releasing a new ad today targeting Newark Mayor Cory Booker’s
radical record on abortion. The ad blasts Cory Booker’s record of promoting
abortion with no restrictions-including his significant role as Co-Chair of
the Democratic National Convention’s Platform Committee. Booker is the
Democratic candidate for U.S. Senate in the special election to succeed Frank
Lautenberg.

“Cory Booker
was instrumental in driving Democrats to make abortion the centerpiece of
the party’s platform,” said Marjorie Dannenfelser, President of
SBA List. “His extreme pro-abortion stance flies in the face of the majority
of Americans, especially women, who oppose late-term abortion.” http://www.lifenews.com/2013/
