California Gov. Signs Bill Allowing Nurses to Do Abortions
California Governor Jerry Brown
has signed into law legislation to allow nurses to do abortions. Dave
Andrusko of National Right to Life has more:
Under AB 154 (authored by California Assembly member Toni Atkins), physician assistants, nurse practitioners, and nurse midwives will perform first-trimester aspiration abortions. (These non-physicians already are allowed to administer chemical abortifacients.) The rationale, as always, is that there is not enough “access” to abortion. The cover story is that first-trimester abortion is so safe practically anyone can perform one. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/
British Woman Dies From Aggressive Infection After Using RU 486 Abortion Drug
A 31-year-old
U.K. woman has died of an aggressive and rare infection after using mifepristone
(Abortion Pill, RU-486) and misoprostol as reproductive healthcare providers
and researchers continue to unravel the association of fatal infections
linked to medical abortions. (1)
A case report published in the July 2013 issue of Journal of Obstetrics and Gynaecology confirms the discovery of the first known global death case of “Fatal Clostridium septicum following medical termination of pregnancy.” http://www.lifenews.com/2013/

Church Attendance a Big Reason Why a Majority of Americans Pro-Life
on Abortion
In August,
the Pew Research Foundation released survey results which focused on the
morality of abortion, and indicate that just about half of the population
(49%) views abortion as flat-out immoral. But that does NOT mean that the
remaining 51% view having an abortion as a morally acceptable choice.
In fact, only 15% of Americans consider having an abortion morally acceptable, according to the survey, while 23% hold that it is not a moral issue.http://www.lifenews.com/

On September
29, Live Action writer Cassy Fiano talked about an article in which late-term
abortionist Susan Robinson said that abortion providers deal with a lot of stigma
from other doctors.Robinson is not the only abortionist who has discussed the stigma that abortionists face. The pro-abortion website Jezebel also addressed the issue in an interview with retired abortionist Dr. Robert Livingston. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/
Research Shows Unborn Baby Can Anticipate Her Own Movements in
the Womb
Using
remarkable technology to eavesdrop on the unborn child, it seems as if every
day in every way we find that he or she is a remarkable human being. One
study builds on another on another, and so forth, showing ever-greater complexity.
Using 4-dimensional ultrasound, a few months ago researchers from Durham and Lancaster Universities published a study of 15 healthy unborn babies that showed how the child’s facial expressions develop and become more complex as the baby grows. On the scans you can see recognizable facial expressions including what can only be described as a smile, followed by even more complex multi-dimensional expressions. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/

How You Can Reach Out to Abortion Vulnerable Women Online
A
reader asked me for some tips for reaching out to pregnant, abortion vulnerable
women in internet forums, and she gave me permission to share with you my
response.

the question that was sent to me. (All names have been changed to protect

Planned Parenthood Abortion Biz Makes Money Claiming Women are
Weak, Unintelligent
It’s one of the go-to battle cries for so-called feminists like Cecile Richards, president of abortion giant Planned Parenthood, and for some bizarre reason, women everywhere echo it. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/

Adult (Fetal) Stem Cell Trial for Spinal Cord Injury Presents New Ethical Questions
Neural stem cells from fetuses have received permission for human trials. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/
Should ER Docs Not Save All Suicide Patients?
This is what we are becoming. Five years ago in the UK, Kerry Wooltorton swallowed anti-freeze, called an ambulance, and then pinned a note to her shirt saying not to save her life. Accordingly, doctors let her die slowly over 24 hours–a decision later validated by the coroner’s inquest. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/
Beautiful Bronze Sculptures Depict Unborn Baby’s “Miraculous Journey” to Birth
Yesterday a friend of mine sent me a link to a set of photos on the New York Times webpage. The first of 7 photos showed a set of giant white balloons. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/

The
Economic Drain of Taxpayer-Funded Abortions in Canada
Canada’s provincial and federal governments keep the cost of taxpayer funded abortion secret. The government of British Columbia is even fighting in court to prevent citizens from gaining access to provincial data concerning the number of abortions committed in BC. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/

Why Do Women Have Abortions? New Study Provides Some Answers
The reasons women have abortions are not simple and thus can be difficult to study and/or categorize. That’s one reason why the two most recent previous studies on abortion reasons, from the Guttmacher Institute, date from 2005 and 1988. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/

Irish Times Accused of Rush to Judgment in Linking Savita Death
to Abortion
