Supreme Court Rules Pro-Life Group Can Defend Its Free Speech Rights The Supreme Court has ruled in favor of a pro-life women’s group in a case regarding whether it has a First Amendment right to expose the pro-abortion records of political candidates.
The Susan B. Anthony List is petitioning the high court to allow their First Amendment challenge to Ohio’s “false statement” law to proceed on the grounds that the statute empowers a state agency to determine what constitutes true or false political speech. http://www.lifenews.com/2014/06/16/supreme-court-rules-pro-life-group-can-defend-its-free-speech-rights/
We Thought Doctors Were Helping Our Daughter With Trisomy 18, But They Were Slowly Killing HerWe thought they were helping. Every time we took our daughter Faith to the hospital for her illness, they would nurse her back to health. Faith has Trisomy 18 (Edwards Syndrome).
Trisomy 21 is Downs Syndrome.Trisomy 18 is much harsher with 90% of these children not reaching their first birthday.

Little Girl Kicked Out of KFC Restaurant Over Scars on Her Face From Dog Attack At LifeNews over the years we have profiled a number of cases of how disabled or disfigured people are terribly treated in society.
It’s a shame when unborn children become victims of abortion because they have some sort of physical or mental disability that supposedly makes them “less than perfect.” It’s also a shame when people with some sort of disability or disfigured condition are treated poorly by society simply because they don’t “look like everyone else. http://www.lifenews.com/2014/06/16/little-girl-kicked-out-of-kfc-restaurant-over-scars-on-her-face-from-dog-attack/

She Drank Poison to Try to Kill Me in an Abortion, Thank God It Didn’t Work
My story begins in the womb of a 14 year old girl in Florida in roughly May of 1966. An older boy in her neighborhood snuck her out of the house, they went for a ride, and apparently he got her pregnant (I don’t neither need nor want to know the details of that outing).
As far as I’m told, that was the only “outing” they had together. Well, as time went by, she started to notice she was pregnant but tried to hide it as long as she could. She was part of a very abusive strict Catholic family. http://www.lifenews.com/2014/06/16/she-drank-poison-to-try-to-kill-me-in-an-abortion-thank-god-it-didnt-work/
This Amazing Video Showing Development of an Unborn Baby Will Blow Your MindPro-life advocates are convinced that today’s amazing videos and pictures of ultrasounds and development of unborn children are partly responsible for the fact that a majority of people are pro-life. This amazing video below showing the development of a unborn baby is no exception.
Video producer Hyperspective Studios desribes their video this way: http://www.lifenews.com/2014/06/16/this-amazing-video-showing-development-of-an-unborn-baby-will-blow-your-mind/
I Am in the Same Week of Pregnancy as My Birthmom, Who Tried to Abort MeThere are so many milestones met during pregnancy that women celebrate and cherish: from receiving the positive pregnancy test results to hearing their child’s heartbeat for the first time, from seeing the baby on ultrasound to feeling his or her first kick and everywhere in-between, pregnancy is full of milestones. For women who experience complications in their pregnancy, making it to a certain week of pregnancy is a big milestone to meet.
For women like me who have survived failed abortions as children in the womb, progressing to the point in pregnancy with our own children in which we know we were aborted unsuccessfully during our own mother’s pregnancy is a huge milestone, and this week, I am grateful to have done just that. I am now 31 ½ weeks pregnant with our second daughter, now putting me past the 31 week mark at which my birthmother was forced to abort me nearly thirty-seven years ago. http://www.lifenews.com/2014/06/16/i-am-in-the-same-week-of-pregnancy-as-my-birthmom-who-tried-to-abort-me/
A Baby Falls Into A Fit Of Giggles While His Father Brushes His TeethAt LifeNews we mostly have hard news and opinion on abortion and it is often times a difficult thing to read. Abortion isn’t funny because it involves the taking of human life of a little unborn baby and hurts women.
So when we get a chance to share a cute baby video, we’re happy to do so. After all, it reminds us pro-lifers of who we’re fighting for the and enjoyable moments that come from babies once they’re finally done growing in mommy’s tummy. http://www.lifenews.com/2014/06/16/a-baby-falls-into-a-fit-of-giggles-while-his-father-brushes-his-teeth/
