Meriam Ibrahim: My Daughter is Physically Disabled Because I Gave Birth in Chains In her first interview from Sudan about the birth of her daughter Mara, Meriam Ibrahim , the Sudanese Christian woman who was recently released from prison after facing the death penalty, says her daughter is disabled because she was forced to give birth in chains.
Ibrahim, who is currently trying to leave Sudan after being freed from prison, spoke for the first time about the May 27 birth in a recent interview with The Guardian. http://www.lifenews.com/2014/07/02/meriam-ibrahim-my-daughter-is-physically-disabled-because-i-gave-birth-in-chains/
The Crazy Pro-Abortion Reaction to the Hobby Lobby Decision in 10 SecondsLifeNews has written and will continue to write about the pro-life victory in the Supreme Court’s decision on Hobby Lobby and the pro-abortion side’s reaction to it.

She is What Abortion Looks Like, When It Doesn’t Work Nearly thirty-seven years ago, Melissa Ohden survived a saline infusion abortion. Now she is the founder of The Abortion Survivors Network, an organization that exists to educate the public on abortion survivors and to offer support to those who’ve survived failed abortions.
Last week, Ohden shared her testimony at the National Right to Life convention in Louisville, Kentucky. She began by explaining the abortion procedure that was intended to take her life. http://www.lifenews.com/2014/07/02/she-is-what-abortion-looks-like-when-it-doesnt-work/

Meet the Christian Couple Who Adopted 8 Siblings From an Orphanage in AfricaYou’ve heard the pro-abortion criticism before. The canard goes something like this: “Well if you’re so pro-life why don’t you adopt all of the unwanted children?
It’s a silly pro-abortion argument that doesn’t account for the reality that pro-life people are some of the most loving and selfless people in the world — so selfless, in this case, that they were willing to adopt eight children from an orphanage in Africa. http://www.lifenews.com/2014/07/02/meet-the-christian-couple-who-adopted-8-siblings-from-an-orphanage-in-africa/
Poll: Americans Agree With Supreme Court’s Decision Protecting Hobby Lobby From Abortion MandateA new Rasmussen Reports poll shows Americans agree with the Supreme Court’s decision this week that the Christian-run Hobby Lobby doesn’t have to obey the HHS mandate that is a part of Obamacare that requires businesses to pay for abortion causing drugs in their employee health care plans.
“Half of voters agree with the U.S. Supreme Court that a business owner should be able to opt out of Obamacare’s contraceptive mandate if it violates his or her religious beliefs,” the poling firm reports about its new national survey. http://www.lifenews.com/2014/07/02/poll-americans-agree-with-supreme-courts-decision-protecting-hobby-lobby-from-abrotion-mandate/
