Told She Should Abort Her “Disabled” Baby, Mother Says Absolutely Not
On the weekend before a municipal election that will determine if Albuquerque, New Mexico, will become the first city in the nation ban abortions after 20 weeks, a woman has come forward in a new video to tell why, when faced with a prenatal diagnosis of a child with severe fetal anomalies, she heroically rejected pressure to abort her son, Chance.

Calling the bid to end late-term abortion a “humanitarian issue,” Chantel Stuckman told of the heart-wrenching moment when she and her husband were told that her 24 week pre-born son had deformities so severe that he was not expected to live. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/11/17/told-she-should-abort-her-disabled-baby-mother-says-absolutely-not/
Abortionist: The Baby is Still Alive When I Pull on the Arm and Remove It
Why don’t those who support abortion believe what abortionists say about it?

For example, abortionist Curtis Boyd, who runs late-term clinics in Dallas and Albuquerque, made a “jarring admission” during an interview with WFAA in 2009:.

I’m With Shea: Standing Up for Mentally-Disabled Teen Victimized by Bullying
Bullying has been a problem – especially for the young – as long as people have been on Earth. But now with the anonymity of social media, there is nothing to slow down the first mean impulse that can cross someone’s mind.
Shea Shahan of Plano, Texas had a severe injury to the frontal lobes of her brain due to a lack of oxygen when she was born. She had many seizures during her first 14 days as a newborn, and many more since. Recently the mentally challenged 18-year old has also received many vicious messages on her iPhone. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/11/17/im-with-shea-standing-up-for-mentally-disabled-teen-victimized-by-bullying/
“Pro-Choice” Side is Losing Because Women Feel Guilt, Regret After Abortion
If there’s one thing I’ve come to expect from pro-abortion activists, it’s lies. No matter what factual evidence you can provide, they’ll deny it. They’ve claimed, “it’s not a baby, it’s a bunch of cells.” They reject the fact that an unborn child can feel pain at 20 weeks (or earlier). And they deceive women by not acknowledging the psychological repercussions of abortion. They stand by their deceptions because they know the truth isn’t on the side of those who support abortion.

The newest tactic they’re employing are attempts to end the stigma and shame of abortion by having women openly share their abortion stories. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/11/17/pro-choice-side-is-losing-because-women-feel-guilt-regret-after-abortion/
Finally... moral, pro-life fiction that opens hearts and minds! “This is what I was hoping would begin to spring from the Indie World. No way would NYC Corporate Publishing ever allow something with this worldview through.” - a reader.

“Mommy” Web Site Posts Blog Supporting Abortion
Last week, I wrote about an article posted on parenting site Mommyish that supported abortion. (Yes, this was the article with the “adorable cats.”)

Today, I have another “mommy blog” post to share with you. This one, too, sadly supports abortion as a viable choice for women. What’s possibly even more sad is that, for these parenting sites to write about abortion, they must be realizing an important truth: abortion is a choice that a parent makes. As soon as a baby begins to exist in her mother’s womb, her mother is just that – a mother. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/11/17/mommy-web-site-posts-blog-supporting-abortion/
Adoption is the Answer to Child Abuse, Not Abortion
From its inception, the pro-life movement in America has united under one fundamental belief: human life from fertilization to natural death merits our respect and protection. This belief has inspired thousands to initiate everything from pro-life education and outreach initiatives, to legislative action.
It is because of these efforts that the pro-life movement has witnessed remarkable breakthroughs, such as the passage of the Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act through the U.S House and its introduction in the Senate. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/11/17/adoption-is-the-answer-to-child-abuse-not-abortion/
No Amount of “Easing” Will Fix China’s Brutal Population Control Policy
There are serious questions about the limited impact of the so-called revised one-child policy announced by China this week.
Let’s be clear, nothing in today’s announcement changes the brutal, abusive elements of China’s population control program in which women’s cycles are monitored by the government. Women must still get a birth permit before they can have a child, and fines and penalties will continue for anyone who has a child without government permission. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/11/17/no-amount-of-easing-will-fix-chinas-brutal-population-control-policy/
Angry Pro-Abortion Student Trashes Pro-Life Display, Then Helps Put It Back Up
A student who was offended by a graphic pro-life display at Ohio State University knocked down signs and claimed that her college campus was an inappropriate venue for the display. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/11/17/angry-pro-abortion-student-trashes-pro-life-display-then-helps-put-it-back-up/
Belgium: Activist Admits Euthanasia Law Designed to Target Disabled People
The Euthanasia Prevention Coalition (EPC) Europe was launched on Wednesday November 13 with a press conference in Brussels Belgium. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/11/17/belgium-activist-admits-euthanasia-law-designed-to-target-disabled-people/

UNFPA Pushes Sex and Abortion on Teenagers Worldwide
A UN agency is billing its just-released population report targeting adolescents as a “new perspective on teen pregnancy,” but its solution to the problem is anything but new: sex-ed, contraception, and access to abortion. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/11/17/unfpa-pushes-sex-and-abortion-on-teenagers-worldwide/

Like The Gettysburg Address, Will Newspapers Later Admit They’re Wrong on Abortion?
The Patriot News, a newspaper based in central Pennsylvania, recently retracted an 1863 editorial that panned Abraham Lincoln’s iconic Gettysburg Address. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/11/17/like-the-gettysburg-address-will-newspapers-later-admit-theyre-wrong-on-abortion/

China’s One-Child Policy Must be Abolished, Not Merely Tweaked
The Chinese government announced this week at its Third Plenum that it will “fine-tune” its One-Child Policy, a coercive birth planning policy that has been in place for over 33 years. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/11/17/one-child-policy-must-be-abolished-not-merely-tweaked/

Death of the Pro-Life Democrat: Few Remain Who Truly Oppose Abortion
As the 112th Congress is sworn in, an already endangered species is nearing extinction in the Capitol Building: the pro-life Democrat. This increasingly rare bird is in the process of committing political suicide. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/11/17/death-of-the-pro-life-democrat-few-remain-who-truly-oppose-abortion/
God’s Double Agent: The Dramatic Story of Forced Abortion Opponent Bob Fu
Let me warn you, if you pick up Bob Fu’s amazing story of his defiance of the Chinese government and his escape from China, you won’t be putting it down. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/11/17/gods-double-agent-the-dramatic-story-of-forced-abortion-opponent-bob-fu/
