Wendy
Davis Calls Abortion “Sacred Ground,” May Run for Governor”
During
a speech and press conference today, pro-abortion Texas lawmaker Wendy
Davis said she would consider running for governor. The abortion activist
also pulled a page from Nancy Pelosi’s playbook by calling defending
late-term abortions “sacred ground.”
“I’ll seek common ground – we all must – but sometimes you have to take a stand on sacred ground,” Davis said during her press conference — referring to her filibuster to stop a bill to ban abortions after five months. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/

Prayers are answered and the time and manner in which they are, undoubtedly,
are not always what we want or expect, as I talked about recently in the article
about the closing of the abortion clinic where Abby Johnson worked.I have lived with peace about my life and the reality that I may never hear from my birthmother, that I may never know if she knows that I love her and that I have forgiven her for the decision by those around her that was made to end my life through an abortion. I have continued to pray for God’s will to be done and trusted in His plans for us, but I’ll be honest. Deep down, I never believed that I would have any contact with my birthmother. And then the unexpected happened…http://www.lifenews.
Peter Singer: Apes Should Have Similiar Rights as Humans, But Not
Unborn Babies
Here
we go again–Peter Singer pushing the Great Ape Project that seeks to
give rights to apes. Now, the controversy is featured in The World.
From, “Should Apes Have Legal Rights:” It’s virtually impossible to prove whether apes are conscious, since neuroscientists still can’t agree on how to define consciousness, or how it arises in the human brain. But advocates for ape rights say the fundamental question is not scientific, but moral. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/

“Pro-Choicers” Hide From the Word Abortion, Remind Them
It’s Killing a Baby
Many
pro-aborts strain to avoid the word “abortion” like the plague,
substituting in euphemisms like “choice,” “women’s health,”
“reproductive freedom,” “bodily autonomy,” “family
planning,” etc. When your PR efforts operate on the premise that you
shouldn’t use your product’s name, it might be time to rethink what
you’re selling.

Even so, “abortion”
is just abstract and clinical-sounding enough to make it seem palatable to
a significant portion of the public. Well, “abort” means end something,
and ending a pregnancy doesn’t sound so bad…pregnancies are tough,
so of course somebody should be able to end hers if she wants. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/
GOP
Threatens to Boycott Networks’ Primary Debates If They Air Hillary Movie
The Republican Party says it will not work with the networks and CNN to host 2016 presidential primary debates with its candidates if the television channels air a documentary movie promoting Hillary Clinton. The pro-abortion former Secretary of State is considered a top candidate for the Democratic nomination. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/

Banning Late-Term Abortions A Great Way to Unite the Republican Party

As
Detroit Declares Bankruptcy, Its Abortion Rate Almost Twice National Average
A recurring image in stories about Detroit’s bankruptcy is darkness, loss of light: 40 percent of the city’s streetlights do not work. It’s a terribly magnificent metaphor for the loss of life the city has seen. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/

Victims
of Eugenics Program in North Carolina Finally Receive Compensation
Despite signals earlier this year that the State of North Carolina would once again not include planned compensation for the victims of the state’s infamous eugenics programs in the state’s budget, it seems that those who suffered forcible or coerced sterilization at the hands of the state will see some restitution after all as North Carolina is set to become the first state to provide compensation to victims of a government eugenics program. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/
