European Parliament Again Rejects Bill Declaring Abortion a Human Right
For the second time in two months, the European Parliament rejected a report that recommended that EU nations declare abortion to be a human right and to make abortion available within all public health systems of member countries. Adoption of the report would have placed more pressure on pro-life nations like Ireland, Poland and Malta to legalize abortion on demand.

The proposal was rejected in Strasbourg today and instead an alternative report proposed by the European People’s Party was adopted by 334 to 327 votes. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/12/10/european-parliament-again-rejects-bill-declaring-abortion-a-human-right/
Doctor Reverses Abortion Drug After Mom Changes Mind, Gives Birth to Beautiful Baby
It’s not commonly known that the RU 486 abortion drug process can be reversed if a mother changes her mind about the abortion in time.

However, a protocol has already been developed for helping women who changed their minds about going through with a multi-day second-trimester abortion after it’s been started. The process, which involves reversing a second trimester abortions by removing the laminaria, can be used as long as the abortion practitioner has not yet done the lethal injection that destroys the life of the unborn baby. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/12/10/doctor-reverses-abortion-drug-after-mom-changes-mind-gives-birth-to-beautiful-baby/
Doctor Closes His Medical Practice Due to Obamacare
A Kentucky doctor is closing his medical practice thanks to the burdensome rules and regulations associated with Obamacare.
“A Kentucky M.D. named Stephen Kiteck is shutting down his medical practice and citing Obamacare as the reason,” Brietbart reports today. “Dr. Kiteck published an ad in the local paper saying his office will close Dec. 31, 2013 because of Obamacare. He invites his patients to drop by prior to that date to pick their charts.” http://www.lifenews.com/2013/12/10/doctor-closes-his-medical-practice-due-to-obamacare/

One Million Babies Have Died in South Africa Since Nelson Mandela Legalized Abortion
The world mourns the passing of Nelson Mandela the civil rights leader and former President of South Africa. It is fitting that we should respect and applaud his untiring struggle for civil rights and for his leadership in bringing about reconciliation in South Africa.
In paying tribute to his many achievements as President between 1994 to 1999 we must not forget that he did not uphold the sanctity of life of children in the womb. The sanctity of human life and the dignity of the family are the foundation and guarantee of all other human rights. It is not possible to be a human rights crusader if one fails to uphold the human rights of the unborn. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/12/10/one-million-babies-have-died-in-south-africa-since-nelson-mandela-legalized-abortion/

Alveda King: I Wish I Had Encouraged Nelson Mandela to be Pro-Life on Abortion
At the passing of Nelson Mandela I am acknowledging that he was a humanitarian who gave his life to ending apartheid in South Africa and human racism on this planet.

His efforts to do so, especially when he was a young man, certainly included horrendous acts of violence. He and his wife were “vigilantes for freedom.” Their methods of warfare were designed to match and overpower the inhumane tactics of their oppressors. President Mandela was jailed for many years for his “war crimes.” http://www.lifenews.com/2013/12/10/alveda-king-i-wish-i-had-encouraged-nelson-mandela-to-be-pro-life-on-abortion/
Abortions Decline Nationwide as Ultrasounds Show She’s a Baby Not a Blob of Tissue
For those who believe that life begins at conception, abortion hangs over society like a dark cloud. So long as the culture and the courts continue to embrace this barbaric practice as simply a matter of “women’s health care,” there remains a need for pro-life advocacy and activism. According to the most recent statistics gathered by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, however, the pro-life community has reason to feel hopeful. As of 2010 abortion was at its lowest level in 30 years, and rates continue to fall.
One possible influence on the falling abortion rate lies in the twin realms of science and technology. As reproductive science has advanced, the humanity of an unborn child has become increasingly apparent. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/12/10/abortions-decline-nationwide-as-ultrasounds-show-shes-a-baby-not-a-blob-of-tissue/
Activists Were Quick to Deny New Study Confirming Abortion-Breast Cancer Link
Just this past week, NRL News readers learned of a bombshell—a systematic review and meta-analysis of abortion-breast cancer studies in China, which reported a 44% overall increase in breast cancer among women who’d had any abortions.
I described it as a “game-changer” for several reasons, including the size of the increase; that it confirmed an analysis of studies conducted back in 1996 by myself and colleagues; that the risk increased the more abortions a woman had; and because it dismantled the most popular pro-abortion defense against the link between abortion and breast cancer (the ABC link). http://www.lifenews.com/2013/12/10/activists-were-quick-to-deny-new-study-confirming-abortion-breast-cancer-link/

My Discussion With Pro-Infanticide “Philosopher” Peter Singer
