Pope Francis: Abortion Kills Children “Who Will Never See the Light of Day”
Pope Francis today spoke out strongly against the abortion culture,
saying abortion is part of the same “throwaway” culture that wastes both
people and food.
This is just the latest example of Pope Francis taking a consistent and frequent public position against abortion and it comes less than 10 days away from the day Americans will mourn the loss of 56 million unborn children to abortion following Roe v. Wade.http://www.lifenews.com/
56,662,169 Abortions in America Since Roe vs. Wade in 1973
Given
the trends seen in recent national reports, National Right to Life now
believes that there have been over 56 million abortions since 1973.
One critical piece of evidence in that calculation arrived in November of 2013, when the U.S. Centers for Disease Control (CDC) reported its latest national figures. It was important to find out whether the drop in abortions for 2009 seen by the CDC–4.6%–would continue in 2010. If it dropped again, we’d have some confidence that the 2009 figure wasn’t just some odd statistical aberration, that there really was some real and significant decline. It did. http://www.lifenews.com/2014/

Supreme Court: Arizona Can’t Enforce Ban on Abortions After 20 Weeks
The Supreme Court issued a ruling today saying the state of Arizona can’t enforce
its law to ban abortions after five months of pregnancy.
The Supreme Court issued a ruling today saying the state of Arizona can’t enforce
its law to ban abortions after five months of pregnancy.
After a
federal judge upheld an Arizona law that bans abortions after 20 weeks
of pregnancy, one of the most liberal appeals courts in the nation
struck is down. The 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that the law
violates U.S. Supreme Court rulings on abortion, including Roe v. Wade.
The ruling does not affect similar laws passed in other states except
the law in Idaho, which is also covered under the jurisdiction of the
appeals court. http://www.lifenews.com/2014/

Abortion Activists Call Saving “Brain Dead” Pregnant Woman’s Baby “Dehumanizing”
Today we have a tragic pregnancy situation out of Fort Worth, Texas. At Life News, Rachel Cox summarizes:
In
November, Erick Munoz’s wife Marlise, who was 14 weeks pregnant,
suffered a blood clot and is still in the hospital hooked up to
machines. Doctors say she is brain dead and will never recover. Erick
Munoz believes the baby will have defects and the baby’s life won’t be
worth living. Her husband says his wife clearly stated she never wanted
to be on life support. Erick Munoz wants to “honor his wife’s wishes”
and remove her from life support which would kill her and their unborn
baby. However, Texas law prevents the removal of a pregnant woman from
life support and Erick Munoz is publicly voicing his opposition. http://www.lifenews.com/2014/
Twin Who Survived Abortion Shares Her Incredible Story at Pro-Life Rally
At the age of 13, Claire Culwell’s mother learned she was pregnant and
decided to have an abortion, though she didn’t know she was pregnant
with twins.
After she had an abortion of Claire’s brother, she returned to the abortion clinic after realizing she still had a growing and developing baby inside of her. Told she was too late to have a second abortion, she gave birth to Claire, who struggled on life support as she dealt with a myriad of medical issues following her birth. http://www.lifenews.com/2014/

Chinese Woman Seven Months Pregnant Forced to Abort as She Begged for Mercy
An
AP report describes the heartbreaking aftermath of the forced abortion
of Gong Qifeng. Seven months pregnant with her second son, she was
pinned down to a table by several people and forcibly aborted, as she
begged for mercy.
Gong stated, “It
[the forced abortion] has become a mental pain. I feel like a walking
corpse.” Her subsequent diagnosis of schizophrenia graphically
demonstrates the untold mental and emotional violence that forced
abortion unleashes against the women of China. http://www.lifenews.com/2014/An

forthcoming.
Now, committee
chairman Rep Darrell Issa has warned Sebelius in a letter that her
testimony on Obamacare may result in perjury charges. http://www.lifenews.com/2014/Health

Abortion a Moneymaker for Wendy Davis: Raises $10 Million for Texas Governor Bid

If Ultrasounds Make No Difference, Why Do Abortion Activists Oppose Them?
A rash of mandatory ultrasound laws across the country have had
abortion advocates outraged. To them, it’s unnecessary and akin to rape,
and it pressures and guilts the poor, poor women who just want to kill
their unborn child and get on with their life. http://www.lifenews.com/2014/
We’re Either Identical to The Unborn Baby in Our Mother’s Womb or We’re Not
