Judge Still Won’t Allow Justina Pelletier’s Parents Custody of Her While there has been some good news in the case of Justina Pelletier, the judge in the case still will not let her parents have custody of her.
Justina Pelletier, the teen at the center of a legal battle between the Pelletier family and Boston Children’s Hospital over custody and proper medical treatment, will likely head soon to a medical center in her home state of Connecticut. The move is seen as a backing down by the hospital and a victory of sorts for her parents. www.lifenews.com/2014/03/03/judge-still-wont-allow-justina-pelletiers-parents-custody-of-her/
Remembering Grayson: Anencephalic Baby Facebook Banned Whose Life Impacted so ManyIn 2012, KCTV reported that a new mother was been banned from Facebook for the photos she posted of her newborn son.

Grayson James Walker was born on February 15, 2012. 1612388_GHe was born with Anencephaly, a rare neural tube birth defect in which a baby is born without parts of the brain and skull. Action News 5 shared the Walker’s story about their sons eight hours of life shortly after he died. http://www.lifenews.com/2014/03/03/remembering-grayson-anencephalic-baby-facebook-banned-whose-life-impacted-so-many/

Miss Pennsylvania Valerie Gatto Was Conceived in Rape, Glad She Wasn’t AbortedValerie Gatto was recently crowned Miss Pennsylvania 2014. The talented and beautiful young woman has a strong faith in God and a budding career after graduating from Pitt.
But, Gatto could have easily become another abortion statistic. Her mother was victimized by a brutal rapist and almost killed, but, thankfully, Valerie was given a chance at life.

He Could Have Been Aborted: Best Supporting Actor Jared Leto Thanks Single, High School Dropout Mom
Looks like the media are tiring of their attack on life, at least when that life turns out to be a celebrity success story.
During his acceptance speech for Best Supporting Actor, Jared Leto told the story of his mother who fought to create a better life for him despite her status as a high school dropout and single mother. From Time magazine to ABC News, the media offered only praise for Leto’s words. http://www.lifenews.com/2014/03/03/he-could-have-been-aborted-best-supporting-actor-jared-leto-thanks-single-high-school-dropout-mom/


Abortionist Accused of Raping His Patients, Dumping Aborted Babies Bodies Under Investigation Millionaire Oklahoma abortionist Nareshkumar Gandalal “Naresh” Patel, who once faced charges of raping and sodomizing his abortion patients, is once again under investigation after Operation Rescue filed a five-count complaint against him with the State Attorney General’s office, the Oklahoma Health Department, and the Oklahoma Medical Board.
lThe complaints were based on documents and medical waste that had been discarded in a publicly-accessible trash receptacle near Patel’s Outpatient Services for Women abortion clinic in Oklahoma City. http://www.lifenews.com/2014/03/03/abortionist-accused-of-raping-his-patients-dumping-aborted-babies-bodies-under-investigation/
What Did They Do With Aborted Babies? “We Would Put Them Down a Flushing Toilet”In the video “Meet the Abortion Providers” a former clinic worker named Kathy Sparks gave her testimony. In a February article, I quoted her description of how her clinic “counseled” women by lying to them about the development of the unborn baby and frightening them into having abortions.

Belgium King Signs Measure Allowing Doctors to Euthanize ChildrenIt’s odd, at least in a sense. Beginning with the vote by the 50-17 Belgian Senate in December, followed by an equally lopsided 86-44 vote in the Belgian Chambers of Representatives last month, there was no question that the minimal age limitations on when a child could be euthanized would be lifted.
Nonetheless I was still jolted when I read today that the Belgian press was reporting that on Sunday King Filip-Philippe had signed the measure into law. I don’t anything about the political system, except that as a constitutional monarch, there was virtually no chance the King would not sign the proposal. http://www.lifenews.com/2014/03/03/belgium-king-signs-measure-allowing-doctors-to-euthanize-children/
If Planned Parenthood Doesn’t Think When Life Begins is “Relevant” to Abortion, What About Infanticide? This week, Planned Parenthood’s president claimed that when life begins isn’t “really relevant” to “the conversation” surrounding abortion. http://www.lifenews.com/2014/03/03/if-planned-parenthood-doesnt-think-when-life-begins-is-relevant-to-abortion-what-about-infanticide/
Thank God My Mother Gave Me Life, Even Though She Was Victimized by Rape There are moments in our lives that define us–that push us, sometimes kicking and screaming, to be the person we are or to realize the person we could be. http://www.lifenews.com/2014/03/03/thank-god-my-mother-gave-me-life-even-though-she-was-victimized-by-rape/
Abortionist-Population Controller Dies Who Wanted to Sterilize Everyone She Could Former Florida Abortion Clinic owner, Joyce Tarnow died February 21, 2014 at the age of 74 years old, after a two year battle with cancer. http://www.lifenews.com/2014/02/26/abortionist-population-controller-dies-who-wanted-to-sterilize-everyone-she-could/

War on Women: The Abortion Industry Covers Up Sexual Abuse of Teen Girls If there was ever a historical moment calling for politicians to take a strong stand, this last week was it. http://www.lifenews.com/2014/03/03/war-on-women-the-abortion-industry-covers-up-sexual-abuse-of-teen-girls/
Doctors Save Baby’s Life, Remove Rare Brain Tumor Containing Human Teeth A newly-born baby has survived a surgery needed for a rare brain tumor that contained human teeth. http://www.lifenews.com/2014/03/03/doctors-save-baby-s-life-remove-rare-brain-tumor-containing-human-teeth/
Woman With Cancer Loses Coverage of Essential Drug Due to Obamacare As millions of Americans are attempting to start using their new Obamacare exchange health insurance plans, stories about denial of payment keep piling up. http://www.lifenews.com/2014/03/03/woman-with-cancer-loses-coverage-of-essential-drug-due-to-obamacare/

Four Women Attempting to Get Pregnant Following Womb Transplants Rolling Stone recently published a list of The Seven Most Common Lies About Abortion. The list is mostly a collection of straw man parodies of pro-life talking points rebutted with cherry-picked pro-choice statistics. http://www.lifenews.com/2014/03/03/four-women-attempting-to-get-pregnant-following-womb-transplants/

llinois Appeals Judge’s Ruling Reducing Abortion Clinic’s Fine from $36,000 to $77 Last month the Pro-Life Action League reported that a judge in Chicago was willing to let the Women’s Aid Clinic abortion facility pay a mere $77 instead of the $36,000 it was fined by the Illinois Department of Public Health in 2011. http://www.lifenews.com/2014/03/03/illinois-appeals-judges-ruling-reducing-abortion-clinics-fine-from-36000-to-77/

Wendy Davis Would be Okay if Club-Footed Babies Like My Son are Aborted Last June, Texas state senator Wendy Davis became infamous due to her ultimately unsuccessful attempt to filibuster proposed abortion laws that implemented rigorous safety regulations on abortion facilities and also banned abortion after 20 weeks gestation (with exceptions for the life of the mother and severe fetal abnormality).http://www.lifenews.com/2014/03/03/wendy-davis-would-be-okay-if-club-footed-babies-like-my-son-are-aborted/
“A Place for Mom” Scrubs Promotion of Assisted Suicide on Its Web Page The assisted living placement service, A Place for Mom, prominently promoted assisted suicide for mom (and dad) in its blog a few days ago.
