Gosnell Movie Raises $2.1 Million to Tell Story of Abortionist Who Killed Babies Born Alive They did it. The producers of the Gosnell movie have raised the $2.1 million they needed to make the Hollywood-style film that will tell the story of the gruesome abortion practitioner.
The campaign reached its goal four days ahead of schedule thanks to a unified effort by pro-life advocates and almost 24,000 people who agreed to fund the movie. Proving its grassroots appeal, most of the 23,471 donors contributed $100 or less while only 72 people claimed the perks from donating over $1,000. http://www.lifenews.com/2014/05/09/gosnell-movie-raises-2-1-million-to-tell-story-of-abortionist-who-killed-babies-born-alive/
Pro-Life Hosts React to HGTV Cancelling Show: “If Our Faith Cost Us the Show, So Be It”The pro-life brothers who were set to be the stars of the next HGTV reality television show “Flip It Forward” have a refreshing response to the cable network cancelling the program because of their pro-life beliefs.
HGTV has canceled a new reality television show, Flip It Forward, that was scheduled to debut on Home and Garden Television this October, after learning the stars of the show are pro-life. During the program, brothers David and Jason Benham would be helping families purchase dream homes they otherwise couldn’t afford. http://www.lifenews.com/2014/05/09/pro-life-stars-react-to-hgtv-cancelling-show-if-our-faith-cost-us-the-show-so-be-it/
Yahoo Bans Ads From Pregnancy Centers After Lobbying From “Pro-Choice” NARALYahoo is following the lead of Google and has reportedly banned ads from pro-life pregnancy centers that offer women and their unborn children abortion alternatives. The decision came after extensive lobbying from a national “pro-choice” group, NARAL, that appears to favor just one choice, abortion.
Pregnancy center groups eventually informed LifeNews that they could not verify that any ad on Google were taken down — leading to accusations that NARAL overstated Google’s response to its false claims that pregnancy centers were engaging in deceptive advertising. Google never confirmed whether it had taken down any ads and, if so, how many. http://www.lifenews.com/2014/05/09/yahoo-bans-ads-from-pregnancy-centers-after-lobbying-from-pro-choice-naral/
Racist Abortionist Who Kills “Ugly Black Babies” Arrested for Rape
A Charlotte news outlet is reporting that the abortionist who once said he’d abort “ugly black babies” is now facing rape charges.
Charlotte-Mecklenburg police arrested Dr. Ashutosh “Ron” Virmani for allegedly sexually assaulting a 49-year-old woman at his home Wednesday evening. He has been charged with one count of second degree rape and two counts of second degree sexual offense. http://www.lifenews.com/2014/05/09/racist-abortionist-who-kills-ugly-black-babies-arrested-for-rape/
Her 4-Minute Story Could Totally Change the Way You Look at Abortion in Cases of Rape or IncestMonica was shocked to learn that her birth-mother was raped, but when she came to terms with how her life was spared; she resolved to do more good for the world by saving more lives.
As Monica says: There are moments in our lives that define us–that push us, sometimes kicking and screaming, to be the person we are or to realize the person we could be. For some, it’s a series of life events, but for others, it’s a single, defining moment of clarity that hits you like lightning from the Heavens. For me, this single, defining moment was meeting my birth mother and discovering that I was a child conceived, not in love, but by a brutal act of violence. http://www.lifenews.com/2014/05/09/her-4-minute-story-could-totally-change-the-way-you-look-at-abortion-in-cases-of-rape-or-incest/
Pope Tells United Nations: Unborn Children are Our “Brothers and Sisters”The Holy Father met today with the heads of U.N. agencies and the Secretary General as the U.N. system is gearing up for the next big thing: the post-2015 development agenda—a set of goals and targets that will be development priorities for governments and international institutions for decades to come.
Billions of dollars in development aid will be spent on the priorities that find their way into the post-2015 development agenda, and everyone wants a piece of the pie. http://www.lifenews.com/2014/05/09/pope-tells-united-nations-unborn-children-are-our-brothers-and-sisters/
