Abortion Doc Who Kills Babies Born Alive Sued for “Permanently Injuring” Woman in Botched Abortion The infamous abortion practitioner Douglas Karpen, who does Kermit Gosnell-style live-birth abortions at his clinic in Houston, Texas, is being sued by a woman who suffered significant injures following a botched abortion he performed.
After the conviction of late-term abortionist Kermit Gosnell on murder charges, pro-life advocates worked to expose Douglas Karpen, who owns and operates three Texas-based abortion clinics. Three former employees have come forward to tell of their horrific experiences working for Karpen at the Aaron Women’s Clinic in Houston. http://www.lifenews.com/2014/03/17/abortion-doc-who-kills-babies-born-alive-sued-for-permanently-injuring-woman-in-botched-abortion/

Baby Girl With Hydrocephalus is Doing Great After Her Parents Rejected Abortion
Ella-Jai Harvey is proving her parents right. Just weeks before her birth, Toni-Louise Hubbart and Daniel Harvey were advised to consider an abortion because she had developed hydrocephalus, a condition where babies are born with “water on the brain.”
Six months after Ella-Jai’s birth, the little girl is doing well and Toni-Louise and Daniel are even more confident of their decision and the bright further she has ahead of her. Ella-Jai was born on September 16, weighing 8lb 1oz and now there is no looking back. http://www.lifenews.com/2014/03/17/baby-girl-with-hydrocephalus-is-doing-great-after-her-parents-rejected-abortion/

Mother of 13, With 6 Adopted Children, Shares Her Story of Life and LoveAdopted at age nine from an orphanage, Mary Ann Kuharski knows first-hand that adoption is a blessing to parents and children alike. After she and her husband had their first two children, they began to consider adopting children with special needs.
Subsequently, they adopted six children domestically and abroad, and continued having children of their own. The total number of children in their home eventually grew to thirteen – and Mary Ann says that at one point, she had seven teenagers! After that, she says, “No one can tell me a problem I haven’t tackled.” http://www.lifenews.com/2014/03/17/mother-of-16-with-6-adopted-children-shares-her-story-of-life-and-love/

Abortion Interrupted: Doctor Reverses Abortion Drug After Mom Changes MindKim, 32, was frantic when she left the Planned Parenthood clinic in Fort Collins Saturday afternoon.

Fictional Thriller “The Tenth” Presents the Very Real Trauma of Abortion We are surrounded everyday by forces of good and evil. Sometimes our nation’s laws and leaders advance the former, other times unfortunately, the latter—just look at the result of Roe v. Wade, which has taken 55 million innocent lives in the last four decades and simultaneously unwoven the moral fabric of our society. http://www.lifenews.com/2014/03/17/fictional-thriller-the-tenth-presents-the-very-real-trauma-of-abortion/

George Soros Spends Millions a Year Funding Euthanasia Group to Push Assisted Suicide? The Hemlock Society Compassion and Choices spends millions a year–much from the culturally subversive George Soros–pushing the legalization of doctor-prescribed death. It is an ideological quest that divides the American people pretty much down the middle. http://www.lifenews.com/2014/03/17/george-soros-spends-millions-a-year-funding-euthanasia-group-to-push-assisted-suicide/
Pro-Life Protests Force University of New Mexico Abortion Clinic to Relocate The University of New Mexico Center for Reproductive Health (UNMCRH) abortion clinic is being forced out of its long-time location at 1701 Moon St. due to a pro-life presence that has ramped up in recent weeks.
