Miami Heat’s Udonis Haslem’s Wife Got an Abortion, New York Times Celebrates
The New York Times has long been a champion of abortion — earning “awards” from watchdog groups as one of the most biased publications when it comes to reporting on abortions.

Now the Gray Lady is going overboard with its effusive praise of snuffing out the lives of unborn children by printing a wedding announcement celebrating
the abortion Miami Heat’s Udonis Haslem’s fiance’ obtained. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/09/03/fiance-of-miami-heats-udonis-haslem-gets-an-abortion-new-york-times-celebrates/

Mother in India Tries to Sell 13-Year-Old Daughter’s Virginity
Two people, including the mother of a 13-year-old girl, are facing charges from police for attempting to sell her virginity. Police say they have arrested both after a sting operation caught them.

A nonprofit organization dedicated to stopping sex trafficking helped authorities nab the suspects. From a local report: http://www.lifenews.com/2013/09/03/mother-in-india-tries-to-sell-13-year-old-daughters-virginity/

Anthony, Gandhi, Mother Teresa, and Martin Luther King Jr. Others include former Pakistan Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto, former President Ronald Reagan, feminist Mary Wollstonecraft, and Hippocrates. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/09/03/gandhi-mother-teresa-martin-luther-king-jr-susan-b-anthony-all-pro-life/

She Lost Her Job Due to Her Pregnancy, But Rejected an Abortion
Earlier this year, we told you about a woman who called our office upset at our newsletter asking for donations. God softened her heart as we were on the phone and she opened up and shared with us about her plans to have an abortion.

We were able to talk with her and help connect her to a wonderful counselor in her city. After meeting with this counselor she decided to keep her baby and cancelled her abortion. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/09/03/she-lost-her-job-due-to-her-pregnancy-but-rejected-an-abortion/

Fetal Anesthesia Expert: Unborn Children Feel Pain, Even Before Viability
Earlier this year, as members of Congress debated a bill to ban late-term abortions, a national debate ensued over the question of whether unborn children feel pain. Abortion activists derided studies and expert testimony confirming fetal pain.
Now, an anesthesiology professor at Vanderbilt University Medical Center, Dr. Ray Paschall, who has done more surgeries with fetal anesthesia than any doctor in the world, says babies feel pain not only before birth but before viability: http://www.lifenews.com/2013/09/03/fetal-anesthesia-expert-unborn-children-feel-pain-even-before-viability/
