Planned Parenthood President: My Childrens’ Lives Began at Delivery, Not Conception Despite its status as the nation’s biggest abortion business, Planned Parenthood very rarely talks about abortion — and it almost never talks about the development of unborn children.
The abortion giant essentially admitted long ago that science was not on its side in the abortion debate, since basic biological facts of fetal development and the advent of 3-D and 4-D ultrasounds clearly depict a human being growing and developing in the womb before birth. http://www.lifenews.com/2014/02/28/planned-parenthood-president-my-childrens-lives-began-at-delivery-not-conception/
Beautiful Photo of Noah, Miscarried at 12 Weeks, Shows Unborn Baby’s HumanityBaby Noah died from a spontaneous miscarriage on February 20th, 2014. His mother, Lara, named him Noah because it means “rest” and “peace”.

Noah was only 12 weeks and 5 days old when he died. Even though he passed away, his perfectly formed body displays the development of a new human life, the most spectacular miracle on earth. http://www.lifenews.com/2014/02/28/beautiful-photo-of-noah-miscarried-at-12-weeks-shows-unborn-babys-humanity/
Fifth Abortion Clinic Closes in 2014 as California Biz Shuts DownLiberalization of California’s abortion laws last year could not save the Family Planning Associates abortion clinic in Montclair, California, which has closed due to a lost lease. The building is up for sale and there are currently no plans to reopen the clinic at another location.
All services are expected to halt by the end of February, but furnishings stacked behind the clinic near a large dumpster, which was loaded with medical and office equipment, more furniture, brochures, and even money bags from a local bank, indicate that the business is finished. http://www.lifenews.com/2014/02/28/fifth-abortion-clinic-closes-in-2014-as-california-biz-shuts-down/

Video: Moms of Ex-Girl Scouts Say GSUSA CEO Lying About Planned Parenthood Link
Mothers of girls who are former members of the Girl Scouts say the CEO of Girl Scouts USA is essentially lying in recent claims that the organization has no relationship with the Planned Parenthood abortion business.
As LifeNews has reported, the Girl Scouts have a longstanding relationship with Planned Parenthood and have lashed out at pro-life groups bringing that to light. http://www.lifenews.com/2014/02/28/video-moms-of-girl-scouts-say-gsusa-ceo-lying-about-planned-parenthood-link/


Declared Dead Too Soon: Man Wakes Up in Body Bag in Funeral Home LifeNews reported earlier this month about a man who doctors pronounced clinically dead came back to life 45 minutes after his death had been called. Now it’s happened again.
Workers at a Mississippi funeral home say they found a man alive and kicking when they opened a body bag. http://www.lifenews.com/2014/02/28/declared-dead-too-soon-man-wakes-up-in-body-bag-in-funeral-home/
Dad Surprises Fiancée by Marrying Her While She’s Giving Birth to Their BabyTalk about a shotgun wedding! One dad just couldn’t wait for his fiancé to be done birthing their child before he made her his wife. Brandi Wetzel was laboring away at a hospital in Fort Worth, Texas on Tuesday when her intended suddenly “ran to the store.”
Unbeknownst to her, James Anderson had dashed off to find a ring and to enlist the nurses’ help in staging an impromptu wedding in the maternity ward. The couple has been engaged since last August, but it seems like dad really didn’t like the idea of their second child together being born out of wedlock. http://www.lifenews.com/2014/02/28/dad-surprises-fiancee-by-marrying-her-while-shes-giving-birth-to-their-baby/

Mom of Newborn Baby Abandoned in Apartment Dumpster May Regain CustodyThe mother of a newborn who was found alive abandoned in an apartment dumpster in Houston, Texas, may regain custody of the child.
As LifeNews reported, officers were called to the Windmall Lakes Reserve apartment complex at about 8:30 a.m. on a report of a newborn baby found alive in a dumpster. A man named Carlos was going through the trash when he heard a noise. At first, he thought it might be an animal, but after further searching discovered the baby in a bag. EMS crews were called the scene. http://www.lifenews.com/2014/02/28/mom-of-newborn-baby-abandoned-in-apartment-dumpster-may-regain-custody/
Pro-Lifers Must Boycott Businesses Working With Planned Parenthood Planned Parenthood is the largest abortion provider in America, performing over 330,000 abortions every year. http://www.lifenews.com/2014/02/28/pro-lifers-must-boycott-businesses-working-with-planned-parenthood/
Husband and Wife Team Own More Abortion Clinics in Illinois Than Anyone Else One of our supporters — a family practice doctor currently working in the Chicago area — recently sent us a cold-call mailing he had received from notorious abortionists Vinod and Vijay Goyal, a husband-and-wife team who own and operate more surgical abortion clinics than anyone else in Illinois. http://www.lifenews.com/2014/02/28/husband-and-wife-team-own-more-abortion-clinics-in-illinois-than-anyone-else/

“Pro-Choice” Advocates Fight Against Choice, Prefer Abortions of Disabled Babies Abortion advocates like to trot out stories from women whose babies are diagnosed prenatally with life-threatening illnesses as an excuse for why late-term abortion is needed. http://www.lifenews.com/2014/02/28/pro-choice-advocates-fight-against-choice-prefer-abortions-of-disabled-babies/
Human Trafficking is Happening in America and Abortion is Part of the Equation When you hear the term “human sex trafficking,” your thoughts probably go to some foreign land. http://www.lifenews.com/2014/02/28/human-trafficking-is-happening-in-america-and-abortion-is-part-of-the-equation/
The Language of Assisted Suicide: Deception Instead of Dignity The battle over ideas is the battle over definitions. Whoever controls the language controls the debate. http://www.lifenews.com/2014/02/28/the-language-of-assisted-suicide-deception-instead-of-dignity/
