Woman Dies After Botched Legal Abortion, Frantic 911 Call: She’s “Not Breathing At All”Operation Rescue has obtained a 911 recording and Computer Aided Dispatch transcript that indicates a patient of Preterm, a Cleveland, Ohio, abortion clinic, has died.
Records, which were obtained through a public records request, show that at 10:59 a.m. on Friday, March 21, 2014, an employee of Preterm dialed 911 and reported to a dispatcher there was a 22-year-old female patient at the clinic who was not breathing at all. http://www.lifenews.com/2014/03/26/woman-dies-after-botched-legal-abortion-frantic-911-call-shes-not-breathing-at-all/
Obama Admin Lawyer Was Surprised Hobby Lobby Case Had Anything to Do With Abortion It appeared to come as a surprise to the Obama Administration’s lawyer that the abortion-pill mandate case before the Supreme Court had anything to do with abortion.
Deep into his argument about how the HHS Mandate doesn’t pose a substantial burden to businesses because for-profit business owners can’t exercise religion, the Obama Administration’s Solicitor General seemed to get stumped by the question at the heart of this case. http://www.lifenews.com/2014/03/26/obama-admin-lawyer-was-surprised-hobby-lobby-case-had-anything-to-do-with-abortion/

Nancy Pelosi Will Receive Planned Parenthood’s Margaret Sanger AwardWhen I heard that Nancy Pelosi was going to receive Planned Parenthood’s Margaret Sanger Award at its annual coven this year, I was about as shocked as when I found out that President Obama “evolved” on so-called same-sex marriage last year.
Giving Pelosi this award is a no-brainer, in both the figurative and literal senses. http://www.lifenews.com/2014/03/26/nancy-pelosi-will-receive-planned-parenthoods-margaret-sanger-award/

Justice Sotomayor Compared Abortions to Vaccinations, Blood Transfusions in Hobby Lobby Case
Over the years we’ve heard all sorts of attempts to downplay abortions as something insignificant rather than an act that destroys the life of an unborn children and injures women.
Sotomayor Senate RolesDuring yesterday’s oral arguments in the Hobby Lobby case, which observers think will have the Supreme Court ultimately siding with the Christian-run business in its efforts to not have to pay for abortion-causing drugs, Justice Sonia Sotomayor was the latest to make an oft-putting comparison. http://www.lifenews.com/2014/03/26/justice-sotomayor-compared-abortions-to-vaccinations-blood-transfusions-in-hobby-lobby-case/


What’s at Stake in Hobby Lobby: Not Just Their Religious Freedom, But Yours Can the Christian owners of a for-profit business refuse to provide coverage for abortion-inducing drugs? The Supreme Court will let us know.
On Tuesday, March 25th, the Supreme Court heard oral arguments in the Hobby Lobby case. In the days leading up to the arguments, two of the nation’s leading newspapers, the New York Times and the Wall Street Journal, ran pieces that illustrate what’s at stake in the case and why religious freedom is threatened. http://www.lifenews.com/2014/03/26/whats-at-stake-in-hobby-lobby-not-just-their-religious-freedom-but-yours/
Woman Finds Mom Who Abandoned Her at Burger King 27 Years AgoEarlier this year, LifeNews covered the touching story of a Pennsylvania woman searching for her mother.
Katheryn Deprill was looking for her birth mother. No, she’s not an infant child whose mother recently left her someplace. Instead, she’s a 27-year-old whose mother left her at a Burger King not long after her birth. She was eventually adopted by a loving family and says she had a great childhood and has a good life.

When Do You Think It’s Okay to Kill These Babies in Abortion?Professor of theology and ethics at Fuller Theological Seminary (as of 1987) Lewis B Smedes believed that abortion was okay through the 6th week of pregnancy:
“Abortion should be legally permitted during the first 6 weeks of pregnancy. Since no one can reasonably be sure that the fetus is a person at that time.
Brave Mom Stops Rolling Car With Her Body to Save Her Twin Daughters Mindy Tran was just starting to feel like her life was improving. The 22-year-old mother from Lawrence, MA spent a hard season in a homeless shelter with her 2 year old twin girls, Saleen and Sydney. http://www.lifenews.com/2014/03/26/brave-mom-stops-rolling-car-with-her-body-to-save-her-twin-daughters/
