Ice Cream Shop Owner Defends Creating Flavor for Planned Parenthood Abortion Biz The owner of an Oregon ice cream shop is defending her decision to create an ice cream flavor for the Planned Parenthood abortion business.
Planned Parenthood Advocates of Oregon recently announced that it would have a political fundraising event at What’s the Scoop? in Portland, Oregon. The ice cream store created a flavor especially for the abortion business and donated 10 percent of its sales to the abortion giant. http://www.lifenews.com/2014/07/21/ice-cream-shop-owner-defends-creating-flavor-for-planned-parenthood-abortion-biz/
She Did an At-Home Abortion and Then Put The Baby’s Body in a Box on Her PorchWhen last we visited the case of Jennie Lynn McCormack who self-aborted in 2010 using unspecified abortifacient pills purchased over the Internet when she was between 18 and 21 weeks pregnant, Judge B. Lynn Winmill of the United States District Court for the District of Idaho had just overturned Idaho’s Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act.
Last Friday, a three-judge panel of the notoriously pro-abortion 9th Circuit Court of Appeals heard arguments from the plaintiff’s lawyer/physician, Richard Hearn, who hasn’t practiced medicine in over 16 years, and the Idaho Deputy Attorney General Clay Smith. http://www.lifenews.com/2014/07/21/she-did-an-at-home-abortion-with-and-then-put-the-babys-body-in-a-box-on-her-porch/
I Used to Be Pro-Choice, Pro-Choice to the Core, Then I Had an Abortion Every morning, the faithfulness of the sun touches our eyelids. Unfortunately, the faithfulness of the alarm clock also reaches our ears. We slowly rise from the pillow, sneak out from under the sheets, and begin the tasks for that day. For most people, there is a passion that gives us the encouragement to live each day. It might be a job, a child, a spouse, a religion.
My passion is being pro-life. It drives and it motivates me. I find joy in being the voice for the unborn every day, even if it’s just in the smallest ways. There was a time in my life when you couldn’t have paid me a million dollars to truthfully and passionately say the statement above. I used to be pro-choice. Pro-choice to my very core and then everything changed… http://www.lifenews.com/2014/07/21/i-used-to-be-pro-choice-pro-choice-to-the-core-then-i-had-an-abortion/

Adorable Little Girl Was Born Without a Nose, But She’s Absolutely Beautiful
Eighteen-month-old Tessa was born with a rare condition called arhinia; her nose did not develop in the womb. She has no sense of smell, but is otherwise happy and healthy.
Tessa Evans — now 17 months old — was born with complete congenital arhinia, meaning her nose never developed in the womb. But now her parents say she’s a happy and healthy kid.

Pro-Abortion Lena Dunham’s Book Tour May Be Coming to a Church Near YouLena Dunham isn’t exactly the first person you’d expect to see singing hymns in the pew behind you.
Starring in the raunchy HBO show ‘Girls’ and bragging that voting for President Obama during the 2012 election for the “first time” was like losing her virginity are just a couple examples of Dunham’s racy behavior that would make any Christian blush. But, the controversial actress is embarking on a tour for her new book, “Not That Kind of Girl,” coming out in September, that will take place in some churches around the country. http://www.lifenews.com/2014/07/21/pro-abortion-lena-dunhams-book-tour-may-be-coming-to-a-church-near-you/
These Buildings Used to Be Abortion Clinics, What They Do Now is AmazingYears ago, I encountered a piece in Feminism & Nonviolence Studies entitled “Feminist, Prolife, and Atheist,” by Kathryn Reed. At the time, I had no idea that atheism was in my future. What really stuck with me was not the title, or even the body of the article, but one of the subheadings: “Converting Abortion Clinics To Peacetime Use.
The idea of “peacetime use” has been on my mind a lot lately, as the pro-life movement has seen a record number of abortion businesses close in recent months. On a whim, I thought I’d put together a list showing how some former abortion sites are now being used. In chronological order: http://www.lifenews.com/2014/07/21/these-buildings-used-to-be-abortion-clinics-what-they-do-now-is-amazing/
