Jahi McMath in ‘Very Bad Shape” After Weeks of Starvation, Medical Neglect
The attorney for the family of Jahi McMath says the teenage girl is in “very bad shape” following three weeks of starvation and medical neglect while the family battled Children’s Hospital in Oakland over her fate.

Late Sunday night, Children’s Hospital Oakland released Jahi to her family after a protracted legal battle over whether the hospital had the right to remove her from life support. http://www.lifenews.com/2014/01/08/jahi-mcmath-in-very-bad-shape-after-weeks-of-starvation-medical-neglect/
Planned Parenthood Abortionist Who Reused Blood-Stained Gloves Just Gets $1,500 Fine
Timothy Liveright, a former abortionist at Planned Parenthood of Delaware,received just a slap on the wrist for running a filthy abortion clinic and engaging in actions and antics that put women’s health at risk.

In November reached a consent agreement with the Delaware Board of Licensure and Discipline to avoid losing his medical license over medical misconduct and filthy conditions at his abortion clinic. Liveright also refused to wear sterile gloves during abortions and wore smelly, blood stained scrubs. http://www.lifenews.com/2014/01/08/planned-parenthood-abortionist-who-reused-blood-stained-gloves-just-gets-1500-fine/

MSNBC Calls Catholic Nuns Who Don’t Want to be Forced to Fund Birth Control “a Threat”
Monday’s NOW with Alex Wagner on MSNBC started with some video footage of nuns singing songs to the elderly poor. But, judging by the discussion that ensued between Wagner and her two guests, you’d think the Little Sisters of the Poor were more intimidating than the Sopranos.
“The administration must now deal with this latest threat to the nation’s health care law: these ladies, the Little Sister of the Poor.” http://www.lifenews.com/2014/01/08/msnbc-calls-catholic-nuns-who-dont-want-to-be-forced-to-fund-birth-control-a-threat/

Abortionist: I Would Never Say No to Aborting a Disabled Baby After 27 Weeks
National Right to Life News Today has posted a number of stories about the documentary “After Tiller,” hailed by the usual culprits as a successful effort to “humanize” the four remaining abortionists in the United States who perform third trimester abortions. (See, for example “A brief for third-trimester abortions: the documentary ‘After Tiller’”)

One of the more remarkable statements to which I have not paid sufficient attention was that at least one of these abortionists went out of her way to accommodate those women who wished to name the nearly-full term babies they had aborted and/or hold them. http://www.lifenews.com/2014/01/08/abortionist-i-would-never-say-no-to-aborting-a-disabled-baby-after-27-weeks/
Comedians Hosting “Night of a Thousand Vaginas” Fundraiser for Abortion
You read that right. On Sun., Jan. 19, the crude comedian Sarah Silverman (right) who once tried to pawn off a “vag napkin” in the name of “charity,” will join The Hangover star Zach Galifinakis, Josh Homme of the band Queens of the Stone Age and a few other people who think they’re funny to try to raise money for the Texas Abortion Fund.
The organization A is For in LA, described as “an ally and advocate for organizations working to protect reproductive rights,” is holding the abortion rights event in LA’s Largo comedy theatre. http://www.lifenews.com/2014/01/08/comedians-hosting-night-of-a-thousand-vaginas-fundraiser-for-abortion/
Botched Abortion Victim Rushed to Hospital, Abortionist Killed Woman in 1988
An abortion patient shrouded completely in sheets was rushed to a local hospital on Monday, January 6, 2014, from the Family Planning Associates abortion clinic in Bakersfield, California.
Saynsumthn’s Blog reported the following: According to pro-lifer Terri Palmquist, an ambulance showed up without sirens, went to the wrong area, and then was instructed where to drive and park, loaded patient into ambulance and head one block to hospital. She was transported to San Joaquin hospital, according to pro-life sidewalk counselors. http://www.lifenews.com/2014/01/08/botched-abortion-victim-rushed-to-hospital-abortionist-killed-woman-in-1988/

Liberal Media Wants Man to Take Pregnant Wife Off Life Support, Killing Unborn Baby
On bioethical matters of life and death, the liberal media can generally be counted on to come down on the side of death. But once in a while, exceptions arise. http://www.lifenews.com/2014/01/08/liberal-media-wants-man-to-take-pregnant-wife-off-life-support-killing-unborn-baby/
