Medical
Examiner May Not Bury Bodies of Babies Gosnell Killed for 10 Years
A coalition of pro-life groups gathered in Philadelphia Sunday evening to call on the Philadelphia Medical Examiners office to release to them the remains of 47 aborted babies found at Kermit Gosnells squalid abortion clinic so that the babies can have the dignity of a proper funeral and burial.
Gosnell was convicted earlier this year of three counts of first degree murder for intentionally severing the spinal cords of late-term babies that had been born alive during abortions.

New Birthing Center Will Deliver Babies in One Room, Abort Them
in Another
A new birthing center in Buffalo, New York will provide an alternative for women seeking to give birth outside of a hospital setting. But it will also do abortions setting up a terrible irony. Babies will be welcomed into life in one room and, down the hall, their lives will be snuffed out in abortions.
From a local news report with more on this chilling paradox. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/ 08/26/new-birthing-center- will-deliver-babies-in-one- room-abort-them-in-another/

I was 24 when
I found out I was pregnant. I didnt know what to do and wasnt
sure to whom I could turn, Stream says. I told my roommate who
offered to drive me to an abortion clinic. The only other person I told
didnt say anything. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/ 08/26/my-abortion-was-a- horrifying-experience-women- were-treated-like-cattle/
This morning, we gathered pro-lifers in front of the Philadelphia medical coroners office for a second time, after we were locked out the first time this July, demanding the release of 47 tiny humans for burial.
These bab3es died at the hand of a vicious man who held a license to practice medicine, but we all know he did killing than healing. They were found in freezers and jars in the office of abortionist, Kermit Gosnell, and are now in the custody of the city coroners office. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/

Pro-Abortion Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg Repeats Assertion She
Wont Retire
Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg is one of five pro-abortion members of the Supreme Court who are preventing any bill banning abortions from ever becoming law. She said in July that she has no plans to retire and reiterated that in a new interview with the New York Times.
From a report on the interview:
Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg faulted her colleagues recently
for creating a judicial atmosphere of activism, and she suggested shes
going to stick around and try to turn back that tone, for at least another
year. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg is one of five pro-abortion members of the Supreme Court who are preventing any bill banning abortions from ever becoming law.

Among many others,
he points to thinkers such as Ernst Haeckel, who openly advocated killing
the mentally ill, and Alfred Ploetz, who believed a panel of doctors should
