Virginia Senate Passes Bill to Prevent Women Seeing Ultrasound Before AbortionDemocrats in the Virginia Senate approved a bill today to repeal a law the state legislature approved previously to allow women a chance to see the ultrasound of their unborn baby before an abortion. Women often change their minds about an abortion if they get a chance to see the ultrasound.
After their sweep of Virginia’s statewide race in November, Democratic politicians have wasted no time in trying to push forward an abortion agenda in the Old Dominion. Senate Bill 617 would repeal the state’s mandatory ultrasound law. http://www.lifenews.com/2014/02/11/virginia-senate-passes-bill-to-prevent-women-seeing-ultrasound-before-abortion/

World Rages About Killing of Giraffe at Zoo, Ignores Babies Killed in AbortionI have been hearing from correspondents who are amazed that so many people are more emotionally outraged at the humane killing of a young giraffe at a Danish zoo than they seem to be about many terrible wrongs done to human beings.
