Powerful Video Documents How Hundreds of Thousands Marched for Life The mainstream media, as usual, provided little coverage of the March for Life and the hundreds of thousands of people who lined the streets of the nation’s capital to mourn the loss of 56 million unborn children who have perished from abortion since Roe v. Wade.
However, a powerful new video produced by Katie Yoder of the Media Reseach Center provides compelling pictures and footage of the sea of pro-life people who jammed the streets in Washington to raise awareness of the plight of unborn children. http://www.lifenews.com/2014/01/24/powerful-video-documents-how-hundreds-of-thousands-marched-for-life/
Court Will Decide if Husband Can Kill His Unborn Child by Removing Mom’s Life SupportA hearing will be held today at 3:15 p.m. to decide the fate of Marlise Munoz and her pre-born baby, now 22 weeks gestation. Her husband, Erick Munoz, will ask the court to order John Peter Smith Hospital to terminate life support for his wife and baby.
JPS Hospital is complying with a state law that requires hospitals to maintain life support for pregnant women in order to give their children a chance at survival. http://www.lifenews.com/2014/01/24/court-will-decide-if-husband-can-kill-his-unborn-child-by-removing-moms-life-support/
New York City Mayor Agrees With Cuomo Booting Pro-Lifers, Calls Them “Extremists”One week ago today, Governor Cuomo railed against what he called “extreme conservatives” who are “pro-life, pro-assault weapons, anti-gay.” He said such persons “have no place in the state of New York, because that’s not who New Yorkers are.”
Yesterday, Mayor de Blasio said he agrees with Cuomo’s comments “100 percent.” He explained, “I interpret his [Cuomo's] remarks to say that an extremist attitude that continues the reality of violence in our communities or an extremist attitude that denies the rights of women, does not represent the views of the people of New York State.” http://www.lifenews.com/2014/01/24/new-york-city-mayor-agrees-with-cuomo-booting-pro-lifers-calls-them-extremists/

GOP Urges Pro-Life Candidates to Stand Their Ground Against Abortion
The national Republican Party today approved a resolution led by RNC Committeewoman Ellen Barrosse of Delaware urging its pro-life candidates to stand their ground against abortion. The resolution urges its candidates to fight back against deceptive “War on Women” attacks by going on offense and exposing pro-abortion Democrats as the real extremists on abortion.
The resolution specifically condemns the strategy of “staying silent” on the issue, as so many Republican candidates have done to their own detriment. http://www.lifenews.com/2014/01/24/gop-urges-pro-life-candidates-to-stand-their-ground-against-abortion/

CNN Slams Pro-Lifers: “They Want Women to Have No Control Over Their Own Bodies” On the 41st anniversary of Roe v. Wade, CNN’s senior legal analyst smeared the entire pro-life movement in saying on Wednesday’s AC360 Later, “They want women to have no control over their own bodies.”
Jeff Toobin was referring to the Texas case where a hospital, claiming that it is following state law, has kept a brain-dead woman on life support against the family’s wishes in order to bring her unborn child to term. http://www.lifenews.com/2014/01/23/cnn-slams-pro-lifers-they-want-women-to-have-no-control-over-their-own-bodies/
Actor Mark Ruffalo Still Proud of His Mother for Aborting His SiblingLast year, actor Mark Ruffalo, famous for playing The Hulk and appearing in many other top movies, caused a stir with a column he wrote defending abortion. Ruffalo went further than merely defending legalized abortion — he apologized for and defended his mother getting an illegal abortion of his own sibling.
markruffalo2Now, in a new video specifically recorded for a top pro-abortion group that has taken out numerous pro-life laws protecting women and unborn children with expensive lawsuits, Ruffalo again defends his mother aborting his own sibling in an illegal abortion. http://www.lifenews.com/2014/01/24/actor-mark-ruffalo-still-proud-of-his-mother-for-aborting-his-sibling/
Disgusting Video Has “Jesus F—— Christ” Endorsing AbortionKnow what’s really funny? Saying “vagina” a lot. And dropping the F-bomb. And mocking the religious faith of others in service to your shallow ideology and your marginal comedy career.
So it’s really funny to be Sarah Silverman (except when it isn’t, because sometimes people can be so mean to an actress of a certain age.) For instance, she got to do a new anti-Christian, pro-abortion PSA in which she met Jesus – or as he called himself, “Jesus Fucking Christ.” http://www.lifenews.com/2014/01/24/disgusting-video-has-jesus-f-christ-endorsing-abortion/
Doctor Says Girl in Accident Will be in a Vegetative State, Now She’s a Mom I can’t tell you how many times I have been called by desperate people fighting hospitals and doctors not to give up on their desperately ill or injured loved ones. http://www.lifenews.com/2014/01/23/doctor-says-girl-in-accident-will-be-in-a-vegetative-state-now-shes-a-mom/
Greg Abbott Responds to Wendy Davis Backers Attacking His Disability Texas Attorney General and gubernatorial candidate Greg Abbott is responding to the vicious attacks on him from supporters of Wendy Davis, who make fun of the pro-life candidate because he is in a wheelchair as a result of a tragic accident that left him paralyzed. http://www.lifenews.com/2014/01/24/greg-abbott-responds-to-wendy-davis-backers-attacking-his-disability/
Pro-Life Movement to Ban Abortions Follows in the Footsteps of William Wilberforce British Member of Parliament William Wilberforce toiled for years – for many decades, actually – to end the scourge of slavery in Britain in the 18th and 19th centuries. http://www.lifenews.com/2014/01/24/pro-life-movement-to-ban-abortions-follows-in-the-footsteps-of-william-wilberforce/

Blogger: Men Can’t Have a Say Because “Only Women Get Abortion” Considering the premise that men disproportionately dominate the pro-life movement is so undeniably, laughably false, it’s tempting to simply dismiss the conclusions Patheos blogger Bob Seidensticker draws from it about pro-lifers’ alleged lack of fairness and understanding toward pregnant women. http://www.lifenews.com/2014/01/23/blogger-men-cant-have-a-say-because-only-women-get-abortion/
