Her Baby Died During Birth, But Mom Asked To Hold Him; Two Hours Later, She Heard A Gasp PLast year, a premature newborn in Australia, born along with his twin sister at just 27 weeks’ gestation and weighing in at only two pounds, was pronounced dead by his physician after medical staff tried for twenty minutes to revive him.
Jamie Ogg, now a little over four years old, is alive today only because of the undying love and affection of his mother. http://www.lifenews.com/2014/05/07/her-baby-died-during-birth-but-mom-asked-to-hold-him-two-hours-later-she-heard-a-gasp/
Senators Demand Harry Reid Allow Vote on Bill Banning Abortions After 20 WeeksThe House of Representatives has twice approved a bill that bans abortions from after 20-weeks of pregnancy up to the day of birth. But Democratic Leader Harry Reid refuses to allow a vote in the Senate.
Today, in a letter led by Sen. Kelly Ayotte (R-NH), 33 senators urged Reid to allow a floor vote on the Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act (S.1670), sponsored by Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC). The bill would ban abortions nationwide after 20 weeks, or after five months of pregnancy, based on the child’s ability to feel pain. http://www.lifenews.com/2014/05/07/senators-demand-harry-reid-allow-vote-on-bill-banning-abortions-after-20-weeks/
Vatican Blasts UN After It Calls Catholic Church’s Pro-Life Teachings “Promoting Torture”Vatican officials are blasting the Untied Nations after a UN panel made wild-eyed claims that the Catholic Church’s pro-life teachings “promote torture.” The UN panel is expected to release its report on the Catholic Church at the end of the month.
As international pro-life leader Austin Ruse writes as Breitbart: http://www.lifenews.com/2014/05/07/vatican-blasts-un-after-it-calls-catholic-churchs-pro-life-teachings-promoting-torture/
They Rejected Abortion When Told Their Baby Had a Major Medical Issue, Now They Need Your Help
SAs many mothers and fathers can attest, seeing your unborn child on an ultrasound is a watershed moment for most parents-to-be. What is imagined only by a small quickening, a flutter in the tummy, suddenly materializes into an image that floods the mind and overwhelms the heart. It was just this moment that propelled Kevin and Emily into a nightmare that threatened their baby’s fragile existence.

In love and on top of the world, Kevin and Emily were like most young couples, laser focused on building a life together and on careers–hers as a full-time social worker and his growing a fledgling flooring business.

Mother Asked Why She Didn’t Abort Baby With No Eyes, This is Her Touching AnswerLifeNews has covered Christian’s story before. He’s the disabled boy whose parents rejected an abortion and then faced hate and scorn from abortion activists online after they shared their video about why they rejected abortion.
The video—already seen by millions around the worlds–is also an account of what happened when she first took Christian out in public (of how that sapped her spirits) and what has transpired since. Lacey tells the story by holding up to the camera pieces of paper with short narratives. http://www.lifenews.com/2014/05/07/mother-asked-why-she-didnt-abort-baby-with-no-eyes-this-is-her-touching-answer/
Sarah Palin: I Hope Becoming a Grandma Will Turn Hillary Clinton Pro-LifeSarah Palin and Hillary Clinton officially have something in common. After Chelsea Clinton announced she was pregnant with her first child, Hillary proudly tweeted she was a “Grandmother-To-Be.” As a fellow grandmother, Palin is hoping this new bundle of joy will change Clinton’s views on abortion. The former governor of Alaska shared this expectation with Extra’s Mario Lopez:
‘Just knowing that her daughter Chelsea is pregnant with a baby — it’s a real baby — it’s not some disposable something,’ will make Hillary reconsider her stance on the issue. http://www.lifenews.com/2014/05/07/sarah-palin-i-hope-becoming-a-grandma-will-turn-hillary-clinton-pro-life/

Woman Who Videoed Her Abortion Admits She Wasn’t Using Birth ControlThe internet is a buzz with the sickening video of abortion clinic counselor Emily Letts filming of her own abortion, i.e. killing her unborn child. Letts is an abortion counselor at the Cherry Hill Women’s Center abortion clinic in New Jersey.
After the abortion, Emily Letts says on the video, “I don’t feel like a bad person. I feel in awe of the fact that I can make a baby; I can make a life. I knew what I was going to do is right, cause it was right for me and no one else. ” http://www.lifenews.com/2014/05/07/woman-who-videoed-her-abortion-admits-she-wasnt-using-birth-control/
