Houston Clinic Loses License for Doing 268 Illegal Abortions Breaking Pro-Life Law A Houston abortion clinic has lost its license after state officials yanked it following an investigation. The abortion facility in question violated a state law requiring abortion practitioners to have admitting privileges to admit women quickly to a local hospital when they are injured in botched abortions.
As Texas Right to Life informed LifeNews today: Yesterday, the Texas Medical Board temporarily suspended the license of abortionist Theodore Herring for violating new Pro-Life law House Bill 2. http://www.lifenews.com/2014/02/14/houston-clinic-loses-license-for-doing-268-illegal-abortions-breaking-pro-life-law/
Planned Parenthood Tweets Valentine Day Message With Condom Replacing Wedding RingPlanned Parenthood’s president has already told the women of America that they need abortions on Valentine’s Day rather than flowers or a fancy dinner.

plannedparenthood91Now, the Maryland affiliate of the nation’s biggest abortion company is telling women they need condoms instead of a wedding ring. In the days leading up to Valentine’s Day today, Planned Parenthood Maryland tweeted out a picture of a box that would normally contain a wedding ring, replaced with a condom. http://www.lifenews.com/2014/02/14/planned-parenthood-tweets-valentine-day-message-with-condom-replacing-wedding-ring/
My Beautiful Woman: The Most Powerful Pro-Life Video You’ve Ever SeenWacoal, a Thai lingerie company, is redefining beauty with its “Beauty Inside” campaign. The short 7-minute videos tell stories, based on actual events, of women whose quiet sacrifices — including for an unborn child — win the admiration of men who tell the stories. And, tears from viewers.
The message? Virtue is gorgeous. http://www.lifenews.com/2014/02/14/my-beautiful-woman-the-most-powerful-pro-life-video-youve-ever-seen/

Teenager Will Lose His Virginity in a Live Performance at Art Gallery
We’ve seen stories over the years where teenage girls have auctioned off their virginity for tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars. But this is a new one.
Clayton David Pettet, a 19-year-old from Central Saint Martins College of Arts and Design, has announced he will lose his virginity in a live performance at an art gallery. The art student says he has planned the controversial event for April 2, 2014 at The Orange Dot in London. http://www.lifenews.com/2014/02/14/teenager-will-lose-his-virginity-in-a-live-performance-at-art-gallery/


Parents Can Soon Kill Their Sick Children in Euthanasia in Belgium Well, they went and did it: Belgium has legalized child euthanasia. There is no age limitation.
Here is how it is supposed to work from the Washington Post story: The child must have a terminal and incurable illness, with death expected to occur “within a brief period.” The child must also be experiencing “constant and unbearable physical suffering.” Like for adults desiring euthanasia, that diagnosis and prognosis must be agreed upon by the treating physician and an outsider brought in to give a second opinion. http://www.lifenews.com/2014/02/14/parents-can-soon-kill-their-sick-children-in-euthanasia-in-belgium/
Happy Valentine’s Day? Media Claims True Love Means Having No KidsCould a “childfree” life be the secret ingredient to a happy marriage? Many in the media certainly think so – and they’ve been promoting the idea more and more.
Journalists were abuzz with the topic last year after Time magazine’s cover story detailed a new British study claiming “childfree” translates to happier relationships. Lefty sites such as Slate, The Huffington Post and The Daily Beast published articles on women romanticizing their childless lives where women and experts reasoned, “I don’t enjoy alien-parasites” (aka “babies”) and “people have children to glorify their own ego,” to then call “the childfree life” “the latest version of having it all” and being the “most aware and responsible beings on the planet.” http://www.lifenews.com/2014/02/14/happy-valentines-day-media-claims-true-love-means-having-no-kids/

His Girlfriend Aborted Their Baby Without Telling HimShe stared at the two lines in disbelief—the pregnancy test was positive. Overwhelmed, she couldn’t hold back the tears. This wasn’t what she had planned for her life.
It’s a scenario we hear about time and again. But there’s a side that you may not have considered before. What does a man experience when facing an unexpected pregnancy?
Abandoned Baby Found Dead on Side of Highway, Umbilical Cord Still Attached Officials say an abandoned baby has been found on the side of a highway in Washington state. The newborn baby’s was found wrapped in a towel on the side of road and the infant’s umbilical cord was still attached. http://www.lifenews.com/2014/02/14/abandoned-baby-found-dead-on-side-of-highway-umbilical-cord-still-attached/
You Can’t be Upset About Killing Animals if You Don’t Care About Killing Babies Matt Walsh is a 27-year-old conservative blogger, writer, and talk radio host. He calls himself a “professional sayer of truths,” and in a recent column, that’s exactly what Matt does as he boldly enters into the abortion debate. http://www.lifenews.com/2014/02/14/you-cant-be-upset-about-killing-animals-if-you-dont-care-about-killing-babies/
Like Slavery, Abortion Gives One Person “Ownership” of Another Last week I finally got to watch the acclaimed film 12 Years a Slave, which tells the story of Solomon Northup, a free black man from upstate New York, who was kidnapped and sold into slavery in Louisiana. http://www.lifenews.com/2014/02/14/like-slavery-abortion-gives-one-person-ownership-of-another/

Pro-Abortion College Students Even Vandalize Signs for a Pro-Life Atheist Speaker Along with pro-choice sentiments usually comes vitriol from those who harp on the legality of abortion and sometimes do it by denying pro-lifers things like First Amendment rights.
