Abortion Rate Drops to Its Lowest Level Since 1973 as More Babies Saved From Abortion
As the pro-life movement has passed pro-life laws nationwide in record
numbers, a new report released today shows the abortion rate has dropped
to its lowest level since 1973. That means more unborn children are
being saved from abortion than ever before.
The pro-abortion Guttmacher Institute, a former research arm of Planned Parenthood, released the report on the abortion rate today — noting that it declined to 16.9 abortions per 1,000 women aged 15–44 in 2011, well below the 1981 peak of 29.3 per 1,000 and the lowest since 1973 (16.3 per 1,000). http://www.lifenews.com/2014/
Husband Keeps “Brain Dead” Pregnant Wife Alive to Allow Son to be Born
Just
one week after a national controversy in Texas regarding a husband to
allowed his pregnant wife to be taken off life support, thus killing his
unborn child, comes a similar case out of Canada. But, this time, the
husband involved is allowing his unborn child to live.
Robyn Benson was 22 weeks pregnant when she suffered from a brain hemorrhage. Her husband, Dylan, went out to get some medicine for her headache and, when he returned, Robyn was unconscious on their bathroom floor, but still breathing. Although medical professionals made attempts to revive her, doctors discovered blood had leaked in to Robyn’s brain and they told Dylan Robyn would never recover. http://www.lifenews.com/2014/

Disabled 4-Year-Old Pleads for Belgium Not to Allow Doctors to Euthanize Children
A 4-year-old girl pleads with the Belgian Parliament in a new video to not legalize child euthanasia in Belgium.
As LifeNews has

disabilities, in a move pro-life advocates worldwide had been fearing

further. The final vote is expected soon and then the King of Belgium
must sign the law for it to go into effect. http://www.lifenews.com/2014/A 4-year-old girl pleads with the Belgian Parliament in a new video to not legalize child euthanasia in Belgium.
