Husband Files Suit to Stop Pregnant Wife’s Life Support, Kill His Unborn Child Marlise Munoz collapsed in her home last November from an apparent blood clot in her lungs when she was 14 weeks pregnant with her second child. Her husband and other family members have asked the John Peter Smith Hospital in Ft. Worth to remove Marlise from life support after they were told she was “brain dead.” Ending life support would also end her unborn baby’s life.
So far John Peter Smith Hospital officials have refused to follow the family’s request, citing a Texas law that prohibits hospitals from removing life support from pregnant women. http://www.lifenews.com/2014/01/14/husband-files-suit-to-stop-pregnant-wifes-life-support-kill-his-unborn-child/
Report: Louisiana Named the Most Pro-Life State, Washington Most Pro-AbortionAmericans United for Life today released its annual report about the most pro-life and pro-abortion states when it comes to passing pro-life legislation that protects women and unborn children. Louisiana was named most pro-life and Washington most pro-abortion.
Both states have held those respected positions previously. http://www.lifenews.com/2014/01/14/report-louisiana-named-the-most-pro-life-state-washington-most-pro-abortion/
Obama Admin Tells Supreme Court: Force Hobby Lobby to Obey HHS MandateIf we wanted your religious beliefs on abortion-pill coverage, we’d give them to you appears to be the latest in an untenable string of arguments from the Obama DOJ over the HHS Mandate.
On Friday, the DOJ filed its response to the Supreme Court in the Hobby Lobby case. http://www.lifenews.com/2014/01/14/obama-admin-tells-supreme-court-force-hobby-lobby-to-obey-hhs-mandate/

Disabled Toddler Kicked Out of Restaurant for Noisy Orthopedic Shoes
Catherine Duke was hanging out at Panera recently with her young daughters, 3-year-old Ana and 2-year-old Emma. As a stay-at-home-mom, she frequented the restaurant as a way to get out of the house (raise your hand if you’ve been there, done that!) and was friendly with many of the employees there. Which is why what happened next is totally weird and not a little bit disconcerting.
Emma suffers from an undiagnosed medical condition that has led to developmental delays — including walking. She didn’t walk until she was 23 months old. Her orthopedist recommended shoes with extra ankle support, which squeak when she walks correctly from heel to toe. The squeaking bothered another customer — and Catherine was asked to remove her daughter’s shoes or leave the restaurant. http://www.lifenews.com/2014/01/14/disabled-toddler-kicked-out-of-restaurant-for-noisy-orthopedic-shoes/

Told She Had Cancer While Pregnant, Mom Rejects Abortion and Has Life-Saving Surgery Angela Marsh, 27, was diagnosed with cancer while pregnant with baby Zachary. Angela faced two impossible options – one was abortion then life-saving operation. She could delay surgery until baby was born and risk the cancer spreading or end her baby’s life in an abortion with the hopes of saving her own.
But Angela opted for a third, never-before-tried tactic. She decided to go for a another pioneering, risky option – surgery while pregnant. http://www.lifenews.com/2014/01/14/told-she-had-cancer-while-pregnant-mom-rejects-abortion-and-has-life-saving-surgery/
NFL Star Arian Foster Accused of Pressuring Girlfriend to Have AbortionHouston Texans superstar running back Arian Foster is the latest sports star to be involved in an abortion brouhaha, as his 20-year-old college student girlfriend is accusing him of pressuring her to get an abortion.
The news comes after a well-known NBA player was found to have made his girlfriend sign a contract to have an abortion. http://www.lifenews.com/2014/01/14/nfl-star-arian-foster-accused-of-pressuring-girlfriend-to-have-abortion/
Remembering When We Were Told: “Your Life is Over When You Have Kids”I remember when we told people that my wife was pregnant with twins.
There were plenty of handshakes, hugs, and congratulations. But I also heard this line quite a bit:
Profiles in Courage: Moms Rejecting Abortion When Their Lives Were at Risk There’s one exception that many are willing to make for abortion—when the mother’s life is at risk. But still, it’s a controversial subject. http://www.lifenews.com/2014/01/14/profiles-in-courage-moms-rejecting-abortion-when-their-lives-were-at-risk/
