Girl Scouts USA Threatens LifeNews After Reporting Its Link to Planned Parenthood
During the last two weeks, LifeNews has brought international attention
to the link between the Girl Scouts and the Planned Parenthood abortion
business and the national boycott of Girl Scouts cookies sponsored by
pro-life groups.
The pro-life movement has been concerned for a number of years about the ties between the Girl Scouts and the Planned Parenthood abortion business. Although the Girl Scout organization maintains that it takes “no position” on the issue of abortion, parents, churches, and pro-life activists have long complained of the pro-abortion slant of the Girl Scouts’ resources, role models, and affiliations. http://www.lifenews.com/2014/

Mom Expecting Identical Triplets Gets Surprise When Doctor Shouts, “More Feet!”

Fugate was expecting identical triplets. After a grueling labor process

would have to wait as the doctor shouted, “More feet!”
“They
had got the three out and they said, ‘More feet,’” the Mississippi
mother said. Fugate is now the proud mother of a statistical
improbability – four identical newborn babies. http://www.lifenews.com/2014/
Abortion Methods: The Gruesome Reality of How Babies Are Killed in Abortion

Abortion Methods: The Gruesome Reality of How Babies Are Killed in Abortion
[WARNING: As the title implies, this blog post is highly disturbing. You should not read it if you have a weak stomach.]
Most
people who see nothing wrong with abortion have that belief because
they don’t think an unborn baby is a person. They don’t even like the
term “unborn baby” because it lends to the idea that what’s in the womb
is a person. They usually stick with the term “fetus” because the
emotional response generated from discussion of killing a fetus is more
palatable than that of killing a baby. But even if they were right about
the absence of humanity in a fetus, it doesn’t change the fact that
aborting a fetus is a horrific, senseless tragedy. http://www.lifenews.com/2014/
Ex-Planned Parenthood Staffer: Mom Scheduled Daughter’s Abortion, “She Blindsided Her Own Daughter”
In a recent article in The Criterion, Natalie Hoefer interviewed a
nurse who worked at Planned Parenthood but left the abortion business
with the help of clinic-worker-turned-activist Abby Johnson and local
pro-lifers. The nurse, Marianne Anderson, bravely decided to come
forward with her story because, as she says, she wanted to “right a
wrong.” She credits the sidewalk counselors that helped her leave with
giving her the courage to speak out about her experiences.
I felt so much love and acceptance in that room [when I first spoke publicly, at Right to Life of Indianapolis’ "Celebrate Life" dinner]. I wandered around there looking at how happy the people were, how much they’re really trying to help other people. I thought, “I want to be a part of that.” I thought I could start by telling my story, then maybe later I could be a sidewalk counselor. http://www.lifenews.com/2014/
