Second Teen Girl Almost Forced to Get Abortion After Another Teen Held at Clinic Against Her Will The pro-life movement has been outraged over the last few days about what has happened to a pregnant 15-year-old girl in Buffalo, New York, who was reportedly held against her will in a room in an abortion clinic.
The initial reports from pro-life activist Abby Johnson indicate the young girl’s mother did not want her to have an abortion and that the unnamed teenager, who lives in Cleveland, Ohio, was facing pressure from her her boyfriend to take the life of her unborn baby at the Buffalo-based abortion facility. http://www.lifenews.com/2014/05/20/second-teen-girl-almost-forced-to-get-abortion-after-another-teen-held-at-clinic-against-her-will/
8 Months Pregnant, She is Being Shackled While Awaiting Death for Rejecting IslamNews reports out today indicate the Christian woman sentenced to death in Sudan for rejecting Islam is being shackled by Sudanese officials despite the fact she is eight-months pregnant. The Islamic court is waiting until Meriam Ibrahim, 26, gives birth before carrying out the sentence but she is reportedly held in chains until then.
Ibrahim’s husband, U.S. citizen Daniel Wani, a Christian, tells CNN that she has been spending her days bound with shackles on her legs. He was able to visit his wife for the first time in prison yesterday. http://www.lifenews.com/2014/05/20/8-month-pregnant-christian-woman-sentenced-to-die-for-rejecting-islam-is-being-shackled-while-awaiting-death/
This Couple Stepped Up to Adopt a Baby When a Teen Girl Said No to AbortionAt the start of May, Charles and his wife Ashley received a phone call that forever changed their lives. They were told that a 15-year-old girl was pregnant and contemplating abortion. As a young pro-life couple, the Baldwins knew they had to do something. They made contact with the young girl and took her to two different pregnancy resource centers.
Ashley remembers hearing the fear in this young woman’s voice. After visiting the first pregnancy resource center she was still leaning towards abortion. Her painful family life lead her to believe abortion was the only option for her. http://www.lifenews.com/2014/05/20/this-couple-stepped-up-to-adopt-a-baby-when-a-teen-girl-said-no-to-abortion/
Pro-Abortion Democrats Face Grim Prospect of Losing the Senate in November
The headline in the print edition of the POLITICO story was more colorful— “Obama Slump Dogs Dems in 2014 Midterms”—than the headline for the online story—“POLITICO poll shows mounting danger for Dems”—but both paint a dire scenario for Democrats in less than six months.
As opposed to a national poll, POLITICO polled “only those voters whose ballots really matter this year: states with competitive Senate elections and voters in competitive House districts,” according to Steven Shephard, who explained the poll’s methodology. http://www.lifenews.com/2014/05/20/pro-abortion-democrats-face-grim-prospect-of-losing-the-senate-in-november/

Parents Desperately Search for Food Their Baby Can Eat Without DyingThe parents of a little girl in Kansas are having problems getting their daughter to eat.
