Just One-Fourth of Americans Want Abortion Legal for Any Reason Gallup’s annual survey of American attitudes about abortion shows the abortion debate is as divided as ever, but it continues to show that just one-fourth of Americans agree with Planned Parenthood and President Barack Obama, that all abortions should be legal any time for any reason.
“Americans remain divided on the abortion issue, with 47% of U.S. adults describing their views as “pro-choice” and 46% as “pro-life,” continuing a pattern seen since 2010,” Gallup said — as the latest poll shows the debate on abortion within the margin of error. http://www.lifenews.com/2014/05/22/just-one-fourth-of-americans-want-abortion-legal-for-any-reason/
Obama Administration’s Silence on Pregnant Christian Woman Sentenced to Death is DeafeningThe President’s team can hardly afford another scandal, but that’s exactly what they’ll have on their hands if the U.S. State Department insists on ignoring the plight of an American family in Sudan.
For three months, a young Christian wife — now almost eight and a half months pregnant — has been shackled in a Sudanese prison on death row. Authorities, who refuse to recognize her marriage to a Christian man, have sentenced her to 100 lashes for adultery and execution for her faith. http://www.lifenews.com/2014/05/22/obama-administrations-silence-on-pregnant-christian-woman-sentenced-to-death-is-stunning/
Sheriff: Investigate Planned Parenthood That Didn’t Report Rape of Teen, Allowing Man to Rape 18 Other GirlsA county sheriff wants state agencies to probe the Planned Parenthood abortion business and determine why it purposefully did not report the rape of a teenage girl that it saw as a customer, allowing the rapist to target other teen girls.
Planned Parenthood abortion clinics have come under fire countless times over the years for not reporting cases of statutory rape to authorities as required by state law. Earlier this month, in Arizona, officials says the abortion giant failed again to provide the proper report to authorities about a victim of a young man who is a serial rapist. http://www.lifenews.com/2014/05/22/sheriff-why-did-planned-parenthood-not-report-rape-of-teen-girl-allowing-man-to-rape-18-girls/

Newborn Baby Survived Being Buried Alive for Three Days, Mom Tried to Hide Affair From Husband
A shocking news story out of Zimbabwe in Africa has a newborn baby surviving three days being buried alive after a woman buried the child in an attempt to hide her extra-marital affair from her husband.
As AllAfrica reports, the baby incredibly survived for three days in the shallow grave only to die after being rushed to hospital upon discovery. http://www.lifenews.com/2014/05/22/newborn-baby-survives-being-buried-alive-for-three-days-mom-tried-to-hide-affair-from-husband/
They Had Only Dated for Weeks, But When She Became Pregnant He Devoted Himself to Their BabyI sat across from her in the client room. Her face told her story before she opened her mouth. She was tired, physically ill from her pregnancy and emotionally shattered. I listened intently and when it was my turn to speak I asked her how she got to this place. Her story is one I’ve heard so many times before. She trusted a man, she opened her heart, a sexual relationship began and a child was conceived.
‘Will he be around to help with the baby?, I asked’. ‘Not at all’, she said. ‘I haven’t even seen him in months’. ‘When I told him I was pregnant he told me to keep the baby because he would help me with it.’ http://www.lifenews.com/2014/05/22/they-had-only-dated-for-weeks-but-when-she-became-pregnant-he-devoted-himself-to-their-baby/
Pro-Life Teen Assaulted After Standing for Life, His Reaction is PricelessStanding up for what you believe in isn’t always easy. Sometimes something unexpected happens, and it’s at that moment you will decide whether or not to change course or continue on. This Monday, our team received a phone call from one of our 17 year-old high school leaders in Alabama who faced that moment this weekend.
Ke’Ontai called us from the Emergency Room, saying he was going to be okay but he had a broken nose!

Abortion Clinic Worker Quits After Reading Abby Johnson’s BookWhen Abby Johnson quit her job as the director of a Planned Parenthood abortion business in Texas, it sent ripples through the abortion industry. As someone who had received awards for her work, Johnson was well-connected within the Planned Parenthood system.
Naturally, her decision to leave her job directing an abortion facility and embrace a pro-life position caused staff at other abortion clinics to reconsider their own place of employment. http://www.lifenews.com/2014/05/22/abortion-clinic-worker-quits-after-reading-abby-johnsons-book/
Planned Parenthood CEO Cecile Richards Tells College Grads: My Kids are All Abortion Activists In March, we learned that CEO and president of Planned Parenthood, the nation’s largest abortion provider, would give the Commencement address to graduating students of Barnard College, there were some reactions of shock and disappointment. http://www.lifenews.com/2014/05/22/planned-parenthood-ceo-cecile-richards-tells-college-grads-my-kids-are-all-abortion-activists/
Wendy Davis Greeted By “Abortion Barbie” Posters In L.A. Ahead of Fundraiser Wendy Davis is campaigning for governor of the state of Texas after having served in the state legislature. http://www.lifenews.com/2014/05/22/wendy-davis-greeted-by-abortion-barbie-posters-in-l-a-ahead-of-fundraiser/
Bill Would Curb Wrongful Birth Lawsuits, Wishing the Baby Was Never Born In a move praised by National Right to Life, a member of the U.S. House of Representatives has introduced legislation to curb lawsuits based on legal theories that certain children should have been aborted. http://www.lifenews.com/2014/05/22/bill-would-curb-wrongful-birth-lawsuits-wishing-the-baby-was-never-born/
Other Abortionists are Killing Babies Born Alive Like Kermit Gosnell, When Will They be Caught? “I have no doubt that there are people out there doing late term abortions and probably doing what he [Kermit Gosnell] was doing. The issue is whether someone will say something and they’ll be caught at some point.” http://www.lifenews.com/2014/05/22/other-abortionists-are-killing-babies-born-alive-like-kermit-gosnell-when-will-they-be-caught/
Abortion Activist Throws Rocks at and Threatens Pro-Lifers at Abortion Clinic Yesterday, pro-lifers outside the All Women’s Health Center abortion clinic in Central Florida say they were threatened by pro-choicers. http://www.lifenews.com/2014/05/22/abortion-activist-throws-rocks-at-and-threatens-pro-lifers-at-abortion-clinic/
Remembering a Mother Who Died Sparing Her Baby From Abortion When Cancer Struck In a culture where women are bombarded with the message that convenience and worldly achievement are tantamount — even overriding their children’s right to life — it is refreshing to see women who have defied the norm. Even more impressive is women who radiate happiness in so doing. http://www.lifenews.com/2014/05/22/remembering-a-mother-who-died-mother-dies-sparing-her-baby-from-abortion-when-cancer-struck/
