Carhart Gets Away With Murder: No Punishment for Killing Woman in 33-Week Abortion
The Maryland Board of Physicians has decided not to take action against late-term abortionist LeRoy Carhart for the death of Jennifer Morbelli, a 29-year old woman who suffered fatal complications from a very late 33-week abortion.

The official death certificate for Jennifer Morbelli confirms the young woman died on February 7, 2013, from complications to a 33-week abortion done by late-term abortion practitioner LeRoy Carhart. But the Maryland county police closed their investigation Monday without filing criminal charges. The medical examiner’s office confirmed a botched 33-week abortion killed the young woman. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/10/16/leroy-carhart-gets-away-with-murder-no-punishment-for-botched-33-week-abortion/
Ohio Officials Close Late-Term Abortion Business That Broke State Law
Officials in Ohio have closed a late-term abortion business that broke state law and put women’s health at risk by not following state laws requiring abortion practitioners to have admitting privileges at a local hospital to help women who are injured by botched abortions.

That failure to obtain a transfer agreement, which has been an issue for years for the abortion facility in question, played a key role in shutting down the abortion clinic run by the abortion practitioner credited with making the partial-birth abortion procedure a household name. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/10/16/ohio-officials-close-late-term-abortion-business-that-broke-state-law/
Dr. Ben Carson: There is No War on Women, There is a War on Babies
Dr. Ben Carson made it clear at the Values Voters Summit over the weekend that there is indeed no War on Women, as abortion activists are fond of claiming. Instead, there is a War on Babies perpetuated through abortion. From his speech:
“You know, there are those of us in this society who have told women that there’s a war on them because that cute little baby inside of them, they may want to get rid of it and there are people that are keeping you from doing that,” Carson continued. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/10/16/dr-ben-carson-there-is-no-war-on-women-there-is-a-war-on-babies/
Book: Pope John Paul II’s Mother Rejected Doctor’s Abortion Suggestion
A new report out today suggests Pope John Paul II’s mother rejected an abortion when pregnant with him.

Under the headline “Blessed John Paul II was in danger of not being born,” the Vatican Insider web site says the information was revealed by Milena Kindziuk in the book just came out.

Planned Parenthood Marks 97 Years of Aborting Babies With a Birthday Cupcake
Apparently irony is lost on the Planned Parenthood abortion business — which marked 97 years today of doing abortions that take the lives of little unborn children by promoting an image with a cupcake.

The Planned Parenthood abortion company is the biggest abortion business in the United States. The most recent annual report the abortion giant issued — earlier this year — showed it did more abortions in its last year than ever before in its history. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/10/16/planned-parenthood-marks-97-years-of-aborting-babies-with-a-birthday-cupcake/
Girls Gone Bad: The Girl Scouts’ Link to Planned Parenthood
Say it ain’t so! We have heard about this for years, read some articles written a long time ago. We have clutched our Thin Mints™ and our Peanut Butter Patties™ and closed our eyes and said, “We won’t believe it until we have more proof.”
Now a little soccer mom from St. Louis has done the work for us. She has proof. The Girl Scouts are linked to Planned Parenthood, the United Nations’ abortion agenda and a lot of other really bad stuff. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/10/16/girls-gone-bad-the-girl-scouts-link-to-planned-parenthood/

Terry McAuliffe: I Will Be a “Brick Wall” Against Any Limits on Late-Term Abortions
Virginia gubernatorial candidate Terry McAuliffe holds an extreme position on abortion — so extreme that he told students at George Mason University that he will oppose any efforts to place limits even on late-term abortions done when the unborn baby is viable.
Although McAuliffe is trying to portray himself as a moderate, when students got him off his talking points his radical position supporting even the kind of abortions kermit Gosnell did late in pregnancy became clear. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/10/16/terry-mcauliffe-i-will-be-a-brick-wall-against-any-limits-on-late-term-abortions/
“Unnecessary Test” Saved George W. Bush’s Life, Obamacare May Ration it For Other Patients
New information indicates that former President George W. Bush’s life may recently have been saved because of a diagnostic test that would likely have been prevented by the sort of limits Obamacare “quality measures” will impose. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/10/16/unnecessary-test-saved-george-w-bushs-life-obamacare-may-ration-it-for-other-patients/
Planned Parenthood Obfuscation Aside, Most Late-Term Abortions are Elective
Last month, desperate to counter the building opposition to late-term abortion in the grisly wake of Kermit Gosnell, Planned Parenthood tried to construct a roadblock. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/10/16/planned-parenthood-obfuscation-aside-most-late-term-abortions-are-elective/

Indian Woman Dies Following Excessive Bleeding After Legal Abortion
A woman in India has died following a botched legal abortion that caused her excessive bleeding — and the injures from the failed abortion were ultimately enough to claim her life. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/10/16/indian-woman-dies-following-excessive-bleeding-after-legal-abortion/

Chinese Hospital Refuses to Do Emergency C-Section Without Payment, Mother and Child Die
On Oct. 6, hospital officials in the coastal province of Jiangsu pronounced a 28-year-old woman and her unborn baby dead after the hospital had postponed an emergency cesarean section until the family had paid the required amount.. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/10/16/chinese-hospital-refuses-to-do-emergency-c-section-without-payment-mother-and-child-die/
New Pro-Abortion Tactic: Demonize Adoption as Hurting Women and Children
