“The View” Host Sheri Shepherd Wants “Nothing to Do With” Surrogate Unborn Baby After Marriage Folds “The View” host Sheri Shepherd reportedly wants “nothing to do” with her unborn child now that her marriage has folded. Shepherd reportedly used IVF to conceive a child with her husband Lamar Sally but now is not interested in caring for the baby, who is being carried by a surrogate mother.
This story demonstrates one of the problems with in-vitro fertilization. The first problem for the pro-life movement is that the surrogate mother or the egg donor could decide they no longer want to carry the pregnancy to term and decide to terminate the unborn child’s life in an abortion. http://www.lifenews.com/2014/07/07/the-view-host-sheri-shepherd-wants-nothing-to-do-with-surrogate-unborn-baby-after-marriage-folds/
Percentage of Voters Who Call Themselves Pro-Life at All-Time HighThe percentage of American voters who call themselves pro-life is at an all-time high, according to a new national survey from Rasmussen Reports.
Although other polls show a high percentage of voters call themselves pro-life or take a pro-life stance opposing all or most abortions, the Rasmussen Reports survey still provides good news for the pro-life movement heading into the midterm elections. http://www.lifenews.com/2014/07/07/percentage-of-voters-who-call-themselves-pro-life-at-all-time-high/
Miracle Baby Survives Miscarriage and Abortion to Be Born Healthy Michelle Hui had been pregnant with twins and miscarried, but Megan, now 18 weeks old, miraculously survived.
31-year-old Michelle Hui suffered a miscarriage in July 2013 and she was eventually given an abortion drug to “clear her uterus” and ensure that nothing was left of the baby inside of her. Although multiple ultrasound scans indicated the baby had died, when she later returned to the hospital, staff found another baby still alive. http://www.lifenews.com/2014/07/03/three-abortion-clinics-close-down-27-abortion-clinics-have-closed-in-2014/

Facebook Flags Images of Pro-Life Father Loving Unborn Child as “Violent”
A Black pro-life organization has had three Facebook images flagged as “graphic violence!
One of those images depicts a father loving his unborn child: LifeNews blogger Ryan Bomberger is an Emmy® Award-winning Creative Professional who founded The Radiance Foundation (TRF), a life-affirming 501(c)(3), along with his wife, Bethany. http://www.lifenews.com/2014/07/07/facebook-flags-images-of-pro-life-father-loving-unborn-child-as-violent/
Abortionist Who’s Killed 95,000 Babies in Abortions: “I See It as a Calling”Milwaukee, Wisconsin-based abortionist Dennis Christensen wants to retire but he has a problem. He told himself when he made plans to retire that he would only do so if he could find another abortion practitioner to take over his business.
But he can’t find any physicians willing to make it their job to kill babies in abortions. http://www.lifenews.com/2014/07/07/abortionist-whos-killed-95000-babies-in-abortions-i-see-it-as-a-calling/
9th Grader: “I’m Pro-Life Because of the Radical Idea Unborn Babies are People”The National Right to Life Committee recently announced the winners of its national speech contest. Here’s a 9th grader, Rosalia Palumbo, who explains why she is pro-life. Clearly this pro-life young person has wisdom beyond her years!
From her essay: Why am I pro-life? I have never asked myself that question, I just knew I was. Before I answer it, I should define what being “pro-life” means to me. http://www.lifenews.com/2014/07/07/9th-grader-im-pro-life-because-of-the-radical-idea-unborn-babies-are-people/
Abortionist: One of My Patients Had Nine Abortions and There’s Nothing Wrong With ThatDr. William Harrison was a Los Angeles abortionist who performed many thousands of abortions in his career. The New York Times paid him tribute in an obituary after his death in 2010 at the age of 75. The New York Times called him “a defender of abortion rights” and painted him as an unselfish and committed champion of women.
In 2006, Dr. Harrison appeared on Nightline, interviewed by reporter Martin Bashir. Bashir asked him a series of questions which the abortionist answered on the air. http://www.lifenews.com/2014/07/07/abortionist-one-of-my-patients-had-nine-abortions-and-theres-nothing-wrong-with-that/
