Planned Parenthood CEO Cecile Richards Now Makes Over $500,000 According to Planned Parenthood Federation of America’s 2012 IRS Form 990, CEO Cecile Richards made over one-half million dollars – $523,616, to be exact – for the fiscal year ending on June 30, 2013.
Planned Parenthood CEO Cecile Richards 2012-13 salary now exceeds $500kThat’s a lot of money to pay the CEO of a nonprofit organization, particularly one that claims to cater to low-income women. http://www.lifenews.com/2014/06/04/planned-parenthood-ceo-cecile-richards-now-makes-over-500000/
Another Texas Abortion Clinic Closes: Killeen Women’s Health Center Shuts Down in AustinLThe number of Texas abortion centers that have shut down, stopped doing abortions or at least paused abortions for a period of time is an excellent testimony to the effectiveness of pro-life legislation.
closedsign6When the state legislature decided to ban abortions after 20 weeks and hold abortion clinics accountable for their failure to protect women’s heath — over the objections of gubernatorial candidate Wendy Davis — pro-life groups pushing for the bill knew it would have tremendous positive effects. http://www.lifenews.com/2014/06/04/another-texas-abortion-clinic-closes-killeen-womens-health-center-shuts-down-in-austin/
Fetal Models Help Save Baby From Late-Term Abortion A pro-life group in Lansing, Michigan says fetal models have helped save a baby from a late-term abortion. Officials with 40 Days for Life in Lansing posted a picture of a set of fetal models that it says helped changed a woman’s mind about having an abortion.
“I showed the 30-week model to a late-term mom who left the clinic and DID NOT have an abortion. Praise God!” the group wrote. http://www.lifenews.com/2014/06/04/fetal-models-help-save-baby-from-late-term-abortion/

Planned Parenthood Abortion Biz Closes Centers in Oregon and Washington
Today, thrilling news came from America’s supposedly most pro-abortion state (the only one without a single restriction on abortion): Planned Parenthood Columbia Willamette is closing two clinics in Oregon and one in southernmost Washington!
The clinics being closed are those in Gresham and Clackamas, Oregon and the Salmon Creek, Washington clinic. CEO Stacy M. Cross, who issued the statement, said the decision “was difficult but necessary in order to maintain a fiscally solvent operation that continues to keep our doors open to patients in our region for the long-term.” http://www.lifenews.com/2014/06/04/planned-parenthood-abortion-biz-closes-centers-in-oregon-and-washington/
She Was Cussed Out When Trying to Save a Baby From Abortion, What Happens Next Will Blow Your MindCompassion is something I think about a lot. I strive to be compassionate and respectful to every human being – whether preborn baby or mother, elderly adult or teenager, pro-lifer or abortion advocate.
Yet, I struggle. It’s easy to throw compassion to the wayside when someone starts yelling. Our natural urge is to defend ourselves. It takes a lot of self-control and compassion to keep calm, but it’s a virtue we must strive for as pro-lifers. http://www.lifenews.com/2014/06/04/she-was-cussed-out-when-trying-to-save-a-baby-from-abortion-what-happens-next-will-blow-your-mind/
They Told Us: “If You Don’t Like What You See in the Ultrasound, You Can Always Get an Abortion”After all this time, I still have to remind myself that writers (and certainly those not working for a newspaper) don’t write headlines. That’s why “My view: Parental pains, birth defects and abortion” can be so neutral when W. Brett Branham’s analysis and conclusions are so hugely life-affirming.
I saw the op-ed in the Deseret News but it was a reprint from Naples Daily News. Wherever it started, the piece ended in just the right spot. http://www.lifenews.com/2014/06/04/they-told-us-if-you-dont-like-what-you-see-in-the-ultrasound-you-can-always-get-an-abortion/


Sandra Fluke Fails to Win Nomination in Bid for State SenateAbortion radical Sandra Fluke is apparently so far out of the mainstream. she couldn’t even get the radical voters in California to support her bid for the state Senate. Fluke is best known for pushing the HHS mandate that forces religious groups to pay for birth control and abortion-causing drugs.
No sooner did the abortion activist Sandra Fluke declare a bid for Congress than she aborted the campaign. Fluke opted to go with plan B and eventually decided to seek a California state Senate seat instead. http://www.lifenews.com/2014/06/04/sandra-fluke-fails-to-win-nomination-in-bid-for-state-senate/
A Six-Year-Old Boy Sings A Lullaby For His Newborn Baby Brother You know the name Kermit Gosnell as the gruesome late-term abortion practitioner convicted on multiple counts of murder. But you probably don’t know 22-year-old Barron Alexander. http://www.lifenews.com/2014/06/04/son-of-kermit-gosnell-shot-multiple-times-after-robbing-a-home/

Mother Wonders if Her Aborted Baby Would Ask, “How Come You Didn’t You Love Me?” Over the weekend I saw a link on Facebook to a blog entry that appeared, coincidentally, on my birthday. It was a reflection titled “My Other Daughter.” http://www.lifenews.com/2014/06/04/mother-wonders-if-her-aborted-baby-would-ask-how-come-you-didnt-you-love-me/
