Meriam Ibrahim Was Forced to Give Birth to Baby Maya While in Chains The first pictures have emerged today of Meriam Ibrahim’s newborn baby named Maya. The pregnant Christian woman gave birth in chains while in a Sudanese prison because of her Christian faith.
Ibrahim’s legs were chained as she gave birth in Sudanese jail and the 27-year-old gave birth as she was shackled to the floor. Her husband was initially refused entry to jail but was eventually allowed in with lawyer. http://www.lifenews.com/2014/05/29/meriam-ibrahim-was-forced-to-give-birth-to-baby-maya-while-in-chains/

She’s 19-Years-Old and Never Hugged Her Father Properly Until Now
You don’t need to have a perfect body to love or be loved. Here’s one person who understands that but is only now able to finally express her love for her father the way she’d really like.
Torri’s biggest dream was to give her dad a hug. She was born with a right arm that only grew up to her elbow. In the fall of 2013, her high school friends started a campaign called #HandforTorri that they hoped might get the attention of someone who could help. http://www.lifenews.com/2014/05/29/shes-19-years-old-and-never-hugged-her-father-properly-until-now/
New Blog Shows Teens How to Get Abortion Without Telling Their ParentsAs if teenagers didn’t already feel misunderstood by their parents, here comes a zine to help distance them from their parents.
