Birmingham, Alabama Abortion Biz Will Close, Building Put Up for Sale A large real estate sign as gone up outside the former New Woman All Women abortion clinic in Birmingham, Alabama, ending a two year struggle by owner Diane Derzis to keep the troubled abortion clinic open – often through deceptive and illegal means.
“Placing the abortion clinic property for sale or lease shows that Derzis has finally given up on her attempts to keep the New Woman All Women abortion clinic open. That means that pro-life groups that countered her every move have finally won,” said Operation Rescue President Troy Newman. “We pray that Derzis’ embattled abortion clinic in Jackson, Mississippi will soon follow suit because it has been proven over and over that she isn’t fit to operate a dog kennel, much less a clinic where abortion surgeries are done.” http://www.lifenews.com/2014/03/06/birmingham-alabama-abortion-biz-will-close-building-put-up-for-sale/
CNN Poll: 58% of Americans Want All or Most Abortions Made IllegalA new CNN poll released today confirms what prior CNN polls and others have consistently shown in recent years — that a majority of Americans want all or most all abortions made illegal.

The CNN/ORC International survey also indicates that a majority opposes taxpayer money being used to pay for abortions. http://www.lifenews.com/2014/03/06/cnn-poll-58-of-americans-want-all-or-most-abortions-made-illegal/

Baby Girl Born Alive After Failed 22-Week Abortion Has Died
The baby girl who survived an abortion died on Friday, February 28, 2014. She lived about three weeks, fighting problems due to her premature birth. She had Down’s syndrome, as well as heart and kidney problems. She was born in the Provincial Specialist Hospital (Wojewódzki Szpital Specjalistyczny) in Wroc?aw.
According to the Polish weekly “Wprost”, the girl’s death was announced by Ma?gorzata Klaus, a spokesperson for the Provincial prosecutor. She also explained that the investigation into medical malpractice was closed. Klaus confirmed that another investigation into the circumstances of the baby’s death was ongoing. http://www.lifenews.com/2014/03/06/baby-girl-born-alive-after-failed-22-week-abortion-has-died/


Texas Pro-Life Law Successfully Closes Three More Abortion Clinics The Dallas Morning News is reporting that the last two abortion clinics outside of big Texas cities will close Thursday because they can’t meet the restrictions placed on facilities under the state’s new abortion law.
Whole Woman’s Health in Beaumont and McAllen will close after providing abortions in the areas for a decade. Amy Hagstrom Miller, president of Whole Woman’s Health, which operated five abortion clinics before the law went into effect, said the provision requiring physicians to have admitting privileges at a hospital within 30 miles of the clinic was proving the most problematic. http://www.lifenews.com/2014/03/06/texas-pro-life-law-successfully-closes-two-more-abortion-clinics/
Baby in Stunning Photo of Woman Breathing Life Into Him Goes Home After HospitalizationFive-month-old Sebastian stopped breathing while in his aunt’s car during a traffic jam on the freeway last month and became unconscious. As Pamela Rauseo pulled over and screamed for someone to help her nephew, Sebastian, people came running to her aid — including a police officer and two firefighters.
Sebastian, who suffers from respiratory problems after being born prematurely, had started to turn blue as Ms Rauseo drove along a highway at 2.30pm. She quickly pulled over and lifted him from the car, screaming for help. http://www.lifenews.com/2014/03/06/baby-in-stunning-photo-of-woman-breathing-life-into-him-goes-home-after-hospitalization/
