Man Writes Confession Letter to His Down Syndrome Daughter: Sorry
I Wanted You Aborted
I just watched a video about
a family who had a baby with Downs and this is what the mother said, that
it felt like a death.
She said that through her tears. Her husband wanted a perfect child and he pushed his wife for an abortion. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/
Radical Activists Attack Catholic Bishops on Abortion
In the
past few days, there has been a rash of attacks on the United States Conference
of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) from left-wing circles. Led by an extremist
pro-abortion website, rhrealitycheck.org, these activists are trying to
silence the bishops: the USCCB is fighting for the conscience rights of
Catholics against the health care policies of the Obama administration.
Noting that the Congress is considering a Continuing Resolution and debt ceiling bill, the bishops, led by Sean Cardinal O’Malley and Archbishop William E. Lori, are seeking to incorporate this right into such “must-pass” legislation. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/

Abortion is Not a “Social Issue,” It is a True Human
Rights Issue
The other
night, the film “The Social Network” was playing on television.
You may remember that the movie was inspired by the founding of one of the
most popular socializing experiments of the Internet age — the social
networking site known as Facebook.

That got me thinking
about the way the perception of the word “social” has evolved
over time. When you talk about getting social to a Millennial, she may instantly
think of Instagram, Vine, Twitter, and Facebook. A social issue to her might
be how many “likes” her pics got on her page or how many chats
she can conduct online at the same time. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/
A Ph.D.
in genetics named Ricki Lewis uses a “DNA science” blog to ask a cogent
question: “When Does A Human Life Begin?” She then presents 17 potential
time points, from sperm and egg through the joke, “acceptance into medical
school.” Two warrant quoting. From the piece:3. Of the hundreds of sperm surviving the swim upstream to the oocyte, one jettisons its tail and nuzzles inside the much larger cell, which obligingly becomes an ovum, completing its own meisosis. A fertilized ovum = conception. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/
Genetics Company Awarded Patent for System to Create Designer Babies
This
week the genetics world exploded with discussion about a new patent just
issued by the U.S. Patent Office to a California company, 23andMe. 23andMe
is a direct-to-consumer genetic testing company that offers genetic information
to anyone who sends in a saliva sample and a fee.
23andMe was awarded a patent on their inheritance calculator, a feature where prospective parents can figure out the likely traits their children will have. The controversy surrounds the patent’s extension into the fertility industry where this technology could be used to screen donor egg and sperm to create a child with desired physical attributes. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/

MSNBC
Host: Supporting Wendy Davis a “Matter of Life and Death”
On
Friday’s All In show, as Chris Hayes celebrated Texas Democratic State
Senator Wendy Davis’s announcement that she will run for governor,
the MSNBC host characterized her run as “literally a matter of life
or death for many Texans,” as he lambasted Texas Republicans for opposing
Medicaid expansion.
Hayes took a shot at Republican
Senator Ted Cruz as he rejoiced in Davis’s infamous filibuster to support

Miley Cyrus, Rihanna and How “Stripper Glam” Leads Teens
to Have Abortions
Do
you ever feel like the Universe/God/Whoever is trying to tell you something?
A couple days ago I saw Miley’s
new photos. Apparently she didn’t kill Hannah Montana hard enough at
the VMA’s, so she let notoriously gross photographer/video artist Terry
Richardson take photos of her topless and in various other compromised states.

Study: Children Born From IVF More Likely to Get Cancer
Perhaps people should have listened to Leon Kass rather than deride him. A recent study shows that children born from IVF are more likely to get serious cancers http://www.lifenews.com/2013/

Forced Abortions in China: The Worst Human Rights Abuse in the World
Last week the news broke of yet another forced abortion in China. In an interview with the UK’s Sky News, Liu Xinwen and her husband Zhou Guoquing revealed that their home was invaded by 20 officials from the Shandong Family Planning Committee who held down Mr. Zhou while his wife was pulled from her bed and taken to a hospital where she was forcibly aborted at six months of pregnancy. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/
I Invited Her to Pray at an Abortion Clinic, And She Married Me
In the past six years, 575,000 people have participated in 40 Days for Life worldwide. Our surveys show that for more than 30% of those volunteers, 40 Days for Life is their FIRST-EVER pro-life activity. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/
European Court to Review Assisted Suicide of Woman Not Terminally Ill
The Grand Chamber of the European Court of Human Rights has agreed to hear an appeal in a lawsuit filed against the Swiss government after authorities there would not provide a woman who does not suffer from any fatal disease with drugs to commit suicide. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/

Dutch
Woman Who is Blind Becomes Victim of Euthanasia in Netherlands
The Daily Mail and other news-outlets have reported that a blind Dutch woman has been granted her request for euthanasia in The Netherlands. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/

New
York Times Advocates for Personhood for Dogs
The New York Times will, it seems to me, publish anything that denigrates human exceptionalism. For example, a bit ago it ran a piece by a university professor (of course!) advocating for pea personhood. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/

Surprise:
CNN Tells Women to Mention a Past Abortion to Their Doctor
As they say, imagine my surprise. A friend recently posted a link on Facebook to a story that ran (as it turns out) a couple of years ago–“5 secrets you shouldn’t keep from your GYN”—that had a remarkable truth not ordinarily seen on the “mainstream media.” http://www.lifenews.com/2013/

Loyola
Marymount Plays Obamacare-like Shell Game on Abortion Coverage
While claiming they have ended elective abortion coverage in their healthcare coverage, Loyola Marymount University’s board of trustees has decided to offer supplemental insurance to faculty and staff, which would provide abortion coverage for employees who pay for it - See more at: http://www.lifenews.com/2013/

Linda Ronstadt Misrepresents Ineffectiveness of Embryonic Stem
Cells
A few years back when actor Michael J. Fox made a number of ill-informed comments about the “promise” of embryonic stem cells, it was impossible not to cut him some slack. He suffers from Parkinson’s disease and it was only human nature on his part to buy into the PR that somehow embryonic stem cells (ESCs) could cure his Parkinson’s, as well as a host of other nasty diseases. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/
