Mom Says “Brain Dead” Teen Jahi McMath is Doing Better
Jahi McMath, who was left in a precarious medical state following a
botched tonsillectomy, is reportedly doing better — according to an open
letter her mother released online. Jahi was the subject of a national
debate recently as her parents fought a hospital that wanted to remove
her life support.
Jahi was transferred from Oakland Children’s Hospital January 5 after a protracted legal battle between the family and the hospital which declared Jahi brain dead December 12 and sought to remove her from a ventilator. http://www.lifenews.com/2014/
Five-month-old
Sebastian stopped breathing while in his aunt’s car
during a traffic jam on the freeway and became unconscious. As Pamela
Rauseo pulled over and screamed for someone to help her nephew,
Sebastian, people came running to her aid — including a police officer
and two firefighters.
Sebastian, who suffers from respiratory problems after being born prematurely, had started to turn blue as Ms Rauseo drove along a highway at 2.30pm. She quickly pulled over and lifted him from the car, screaming for help. http://www.lifenews.com/2014/

Christi’s Story: Sexually Abusive Boyfriend Forced Her to Get Seven Abortions
Christi
remembers the day like it was yesterday: “I was 17 when I got pregnant.
I was so scared. I went to my mom’s friend, and she said, ‘Well, you
definitely don’t want to tell your mom because your parents have such
big dreams for you.’ So she took me to a clinic.”

I was so scared. I went to my mom’s friend, and she said, ‘Well, you
definitely don’t want to tell your mom because your parents have such
big dreams for you.’ So she took me to a clinic.”
For
the next several years, despite her successful career and seemingly
committed relationship with her boyfriend, Christi found herself in a
vicious cycle of abuse and exploitation. “He abused me. He told me if I
didn’t get abortions, he would leave me. I never stood up for myself.” http://www.lifenews.com/2014/
Baby Saved From Abortion: “The Doctor Told Me It Was Like a Peanut, That’s Not a Peanut”
The aggressive words — “Is this the f***ing pro-life stuff!?” — is how the best conversation of last week began.
Baby Saved From Abortion: “The Doctor Told Me It Was Like a Peanut, That’s Not a Peanut”
The aggressive words — “Is this the f***ing pro-life stuff!?” — is how the best conversation of last week began.
An
abrasive young woman was shouting those words at our newest team member
Josh, he was caught a little off guard and wasn’t quite sure how to
respond. No need to worry, the girl strutted right on by and straight up
to Lauren, a veteran team member and quipped: “Why you guys gotta be at
a college!?” http://www.lifenews.com/2014/
3-D Printer Helps Blind Parents Feel Unborn Baby Before She’s Born
The marvels of modern technology are bringing the experience of
pregnancy to people who may otherwise not able to enjoy the same kinds
of ultrasound pictures the rest of us get to enjoy and appreciate.
The use of 3-D printers is helping blind people who can’t see an ultrasound photo to enjoy a more tactile experience by being able to hold a 3-d model of their unborn baby. http://www.lifenews.com/2014/

Henry was one of the top five women in the United States in the sport

problem with her Nuva Ring birth control device brought her hopes and
aspirations crashing down, and almost her life as well.
Henry started
using the Nuva Ring birth control device last summer but, within 10 days
of taken it, she had a hard time breathing. Eventually her breathing
got so bad she could hardly speak an doctors couldn’t determine the
cause. http://www.lifenews.com/2014/Megan

From the Daily Mail
story: A healthy Italian woman paid a Swiss right-to-die clinic to take
