Writer Mourns Friend’s Lost Opportunity to Abort Her Down
Syndrome Child
Since October is Down Syndrome
Awareness Month, Jane Brody wrote a piece for the New York Times detailing
advancements in prenatal testing. And while I’ve spoken multiple
times about not blaming prenatal testing for the disgustingly high Down
syndrome abortion rate, the two will seemingly always be linked. Brody’s
article serves as a perfect case in point: she starts off her piece lamenting
that a friend of hers was not given the choice to abort her child with
Down syndrome.
More than 30 years ago, a 37-year-old friend of mine with an unplanned fourth pregnancy was told by her obstetrician that an amniocentesis was “too dangerous” and could cause a miscarriage. She ultimately bore a child severely affected by Down syndrome, which could have been detected with the test. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/
The Unmistakable Parallels Between Abortion and Slavery
Whenever
a pro-lifer dares to compare abortion to slavery, pro-aborts go apoplectic.
Candor about abortion’s horror is a major no-no, and besides, don’t
we know that liberals have a monopoly on invoking bad things done to minorities?
But fortunately, apologists not liking something isn’t a good enough
reason for the rest of us to stop making a comparison that fits like a
glove.
Both denied the humanity of an entire class of people. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/

Reporter Who Spoke to Kermit Gosnell in Jail Now “Uneasy”
With Abortion
Today
Volk opened up (a bit) about his own feelings about Gosnell and second (and
third) trimester abortions.
Today
Volk opened up (a bit) about his own feelings about Gosnell and second (and
third) trimester abortions.
Since Volk was the
lone journalist Gosnell would speak to after his murder convictions (he
is serving three consecutive life sentences), Volk’s post-interview
comments are worth considering. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/
In 1973,
the Supreme Court decided the cases of Roe v. Wade and Doe v. Bolton. Now, forty
years after these landmark decisions, Clarke D. Forsythe, Senior Counsel at
Americans United for Life, in his book Abuse of Discretion: The Inside Story
of Roe v. Wade provides insight as to how these cases were decided the way they
were and how they have impacted our culture. While you have to read the book
to get the full story, here’s some of what I learned from reading his book.abuseRoe and Doe are two cases that never had a trial in the District Court. Instead, they had oral arguments for two hours that focused on procedural and jurisdictional issues. Instead of having an appellate court review the facts and legal theories of the case, the cases were appealed directly to the Supreme Court. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/

Activist:
Romance Novels, Chick Flicks Need Characters Having Abortions
What
does the world of romance need in it? Well, more abortion, of course!
Take literature, for example.
Many romance novels end with the meant-to-be couple happily together, married,
and with a child. But that’s not as romantic as, say, a couple who
gets together, has sex, accidentally gets pregnant, and then decides to
have an abortion. Doesn’t that just make you feel the love? Romance
needs more abortion in it, baby. http://www.lifenews.com/20

Pro-Life Students Will Take Vow of Silence to Speak Up for the
Unborn
Next
Tuesday, October 15, students across America will participate in a day of
solidarity to show their respect for life. The “Pro-Life Day of Silent
Solidarity” is an outlet for students to express their pro-life views
without using words or engaging in arguments. Pro-life students who will forego
speaking on October 15 will also honor with their silence the members of their
generation (including anyone born after the legalization of abortion on-demand
in America in 1973 with the Supreme Court case Roe v. Wade) who were never
allowed to be born. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/

Killing the Blind in Euthanasia Shows Government Guidelines Are
a Joke
It gets worse and worse–and yet the stories still repeat the mantra that euthanasia is implemented under “strict guidelines. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/

Australian
Doctor May Lose License for Refusing Sex-Selection Abortion
It’s a nightmarish scenario for Australian physician Dr. Mark Hobart, 55, who stands to lose his license for refusing to perform a sex-selection abortion and then for not referring the couple on to another physician. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/

Iowa
Won’t Delay Implementing Ban on Webcam Abortions
Although the vote Monday by the Iowa Legislature’s Administrative Rules Review Committee was not unexpected, the decision to reject Planned Parenthood of the Heartland request to delay a new rule on so-called “web-cam” abortions was not only encouraging but represented the last challenge outside of the courts. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/

Which Gubernatorial Candidates in Virginia and New Jersey are “Extreme”
on Abortion?
Often, when the media are discussing upcoming elections, candidates are referred to as “extreme” on abortion. Almost always that label is unfairly applied to the pro-life candidate, even when the pro-abortion candidate holds positions on abortion way outside the mainstream. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/
