Where is Michelle Obama’s Hashtag for Meriam Ibrahim? She’s Pregnant and Sentenced to Die Michelle Obama did a great job at raising awareness of the hundreds of girls kidnapped by terrorists in Africa. She lent credibility and awareness to #BringOutGirlsBack – the twitter hashtag devoted to making the world be informed about their terrible plight.
But where is Michelle Obama on another human rights victim — someone of interest to pro-life advocates and Christians around the world? http://www.lifenews.com/2014/05/23/where-is-michelle-obamas-hashtag-for-meriam-ibrahim-shes-pregnant-and-sentenced-to-die/
Mother Racked by Guilt After Her Baby Survives Abortion: She Shouldn’t Be Here But I’m Glad She IsShannon Skinner had an abortion when she was eight weeks pregnant, or so she thought. She already had a four-month-old baby and she and partner Anthony were “having problems” so they decided abortion was the best answer as opposed to a second baby.
But after the abortion, Skinner continued to have morning sickness and to feel the unborn baby’s movements. After consulting a physician, she received word that the movements were just an after-effect of the abortion. http://www.lifenews.com/2014/05/23/mother-racked-by-guilt-after-her-baby-survives-abortion-she-shouldnt-be-here-but-im-glad-she-is/
