Mother
Awakens From Coma Pregnant, Rejects Abortion to Birth Miracle Baby
Gemma
Holmes was driving her scooter last year when the 26-year-old hit a parked
car and sustained such significant injuries that she went into a coma.
After almost dying from the accident, Holmes awakened three months later
and doctors informed her she was four months pregnant.
Holmes suffered from amnesia and couldn’t remember the last three years of her life — including the identity of the father. However, she rejected the abortion advice from physicians and gave birth anyway. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/

Scientists: Brain Wave Patterns Show Unborn Children Recognize
Words in the Womb
Babies learn to recognize words
and sounds in the womb, scientists say. An the baby does so well at recognizing
the words that he or she has memories of them after birth, research shows.
From today’s report: It may seem implausible that fetuses can listen to speech within the womb, but the sound-processing parts of their brain become active in the last trimester of pregnancy, and sound carries fairly well through the mother’s abdomen. “If you put your hand over your mouth and speak, that’s very similar to the situation the fetus is in,” says cognitive neuroscientist Eino Partanen of the University of Helsinki. “You can hear the rhythm of speech, rhythm of music, and so on.” http://www.lifenews.com/2013/

Woman
Gives Birth From Human Embryo Frozen for 19 Years
How long
can a human embryo be frozen at a fertility clinic and still be implanted
in a mother’s womb and be able to grow and develop to birth? One woman
implanted a unique human being and gave birth to a child 19 years after
initial freezing.

RH Reality Check’s Andrea Grimes wrote a piece last week deeming it a “myth”
that babies survive abortions:Gosnell was, in fact, a rogue provider, and that there is no evidence of a pattern of infants being “born alive” after an abortion, much less of doctors killing infants in those circumstances….

Five Inspirational Moms Who Rejected Abortions on Kids With Down
Syndrome
Ninety
percent of unborn babies diagnosed with Down Syndrome are aborted. That’s
not a typo — 90 percent. This distressing statistic makes the following
mothers even more remarkable for choosing life for their beautiful children
who just happen to have an extra chromosome.
Mayumi Mitogawa, 52, Japan From Japan Times, on her 14-year-old son, Yutaka: “He just loves to make people laugh,” Mitogawa said, smiling affectionately at her son — who was born with trisomy 21, which causes Down syndrome — as he fooled around mimicking the motions of famous Japanese comedians. “I know that some people refer to children with Down syndrome as angels, but I don’t see my son like that. He is just human.” http://www.lifenews.com/2013/

Planned
Parenthood Doesn’t Share Martin Luther King’s Dream, It Follows
Sanger’s
Planned Parenthood participation or support in any celebration, march or rally honoring Rev. Dr. Martin L.
