Gosnell Worker Who Said Baby Screamed During Live-Birth Abortion Jailed for 5-10 Years Gosnell abortion clinic employee Sherry West, who described how she heard a baby scream during a live-birth abortion, has been sentenced to 5-10 years in prison for her role in the “House of Horrors” abortion clinic incidents.
West described an incident which “really freaked (her) out” and related to the jury how she heard a child scream who was born alive following an abortion. West remembered how she referred to the dead children killed in these gruesome abortion procedures as “specimens” so she could avoid the mental trauma associated with knowing how they died. http://www.lifenews.com/2014/03/13/gosnell-worker-who-said-baby-screamed-during-live-birth-abortion-jailed-for-5-10-years/
Pope Francis Has Been an Uncompromising Yet Compassionate Pro-Life Leader During First YearPope Francis’ first year as the leader of the Catholic Church has been one that has seen him promote a compassionate but uncompromising pro-life perspective. Pope Francis’ first anniversary gives the world an occasion to look back on how he has advanced the teachings of the Catholic Church and, on the issue of abortion, it has been impressive.

Maureen Ferguson, Senior Policy Advisor with The Catholic Association, looked back on this day one year ago when the former bishop from Argentina was named the new pontiff. http://www.lifenews.com/2014/03/13/pope-francis-has-been-an-uncompromising-yet-compassionate-pro-life-leader-during-first-year/

Mom Chooses Life for Dying Newborn Baby, “God Gave Me Strength” to Reject AbortionWhen faced with the prospect of a baby who will die shortly after birth, doctors sometimes suggest abortion. Heather Walker steadfastly rejected abortion when faced with the prospect of an early death for her terminally ill child Grayson James Walker.
While the pro-abortion side of the abortion debate says the baby will die anyway, Heather’s decision shows how a reliance on a faith in God and a determination to enjoy and appreciate the gift of life allowed her and her family to celebrate her baby’s life, no matter how short it may be. Little Grayson ultimately died eight hours after his birth but Heather and her family were blessed, not burdened, but his short time with them. http://www.lifenews.com/2014/03/13/mom-chooses-life-for-dying-newborn-baby-god-gave-me-strength-to-reject-abortion/

Baby Saved When Mom Leaves Abortion Clinic: “The Atmosphere Inside Was Cold”
It’s cold in many 40 Days for Life locations during this second week of the campaign! But that’s not stopping the prayers outside one really cold Planned Parenthood center.
Before I share that story, here is a beautiful report about a saved baby that shows the power of prayer on the sidewalks … and the value of easily available ultrasounds offered by pro-life pregnancy centers. http://www.lifenews.com/2014/03/13/baby-saved-when-mom-leaves-abortion-clinic-the-atmosphere-inside-was-cold/


Hillary Clinton Says Women’s Rights Can’t Progress Without Right to Abortion Twenty years after the Clintons failed to get countries to declare a right to abortion, Mrs. Clinton told a posh UN crowd that humanity cannot advance without reproductive rights.
“You cannot make progress on gender equality or broader human development without safeguarding women’s reproductive health or rights,” she declared. Clinton is adamant that reproductive health includes abortion. http://www.lifenews.com/2014/03/13/hillary-clinton-says-womens-rights-cant-progress-without-right-to-abortion/
Girl Scouts Shun Pro-Life Girls at United Nations MeetingWho speaks for youth? Catholic teens are wondering after participating in a Girl Scouts meeting to collect young women’s opinions on the new goals that will steer UN policy – and billions of dollars in aid – for years to come.
