Pope Francis Talks About Health Problems: I Only Have Two or Three Years Left to LiveNew reports today indicate Pope Francis, who has been celebrated by the pro-life community for his vocal opposition to abortion combined with a tender touch in support of pregnant women and the disabled, had a frank talk with reporters about his health and said he may not have long to live.
The leader of the Catholic Church spoke candidly about his health with reporters for the first time aboard the plane that carried him back to The Vatican from his visit to South Korea. On the plane during the interview, the Pope talked about his declining health and hinted that he may die in the next two to three years or retire early from his position as Pope Benedict XVI did before him. http://www.lifenews.com/2014/08/19/pope-francis-talks-about-health-problems-i-only-have-two-or-three-years-left-to-live/
Pro-Life Mom Was Arrested for Offering Water Outside Planned Parenthood, Then This HappenedOn July 24, 2012, in blazing 100°F heat, Kathy Forck approached a Stericycle truck driver who was leaving the Planned Parenthood abortion mill in Columbia, Missouri, to offer him a bottle of water.
Planned Parenthood had Kathy arrested as if a criminal! http://www.lifenews.com/2014/08/19/pro-life-mom-was-arrested-for-offering-water-outside-planned-parenthood-then-this-happened/
Liberals Love Abortion, But They’re Outraged Ferguson Police are Using “Miscarriage Causing” Tear GasYou’ve got to hand it to the Left. Liberals love abortion, but when they’re outraged about something else and that something else somehow involves pregnant women, they act as if it’s the horror of horrors.
Witness their latest eyebrow-raising claim: Pro-life people aren’t really pro-life because they’re not speaking out about how police in Ferguson are using “miscarriage-causing” tear gas. http://www.lifenews.com/2014/08/19/liberals-love-abortion-but-theyre-outraged-ferguson-police-are-using-miscarriage-causing-tear-gas/

You Won’t Believe What These Parents Say About Their Son Who Has Down Syndrome
In our society, many people view children with Down syndrome as a burden or as people who will never reach the potential of other human beings. This is because some have medical hurdles to jump, educational mountains to climb, and daily living skills to learn that are a little different than everyone else.
However, if I were to give a parent the news that their child would have Down syndrome, I would not lift up the aforementioned challenges. Instead I would tell them that they had been given one of the most loving and sensitive children imparted to a family. http://www.lifenews.com/2014/08/19/you-wont-believe-what-these-parents-say-about-their-son-who-has-down-syndrome/

The Doctor Told Her Parents She Would Never Play Sports, Now She’s a Rodeo QueenAccording to the Center of Disease Control, Cerebral Palsy is the most common motor disability in childhood and causes abnormal brain development or damage to the developing brain that affects a person’s ability to control his or her muscles. In the United States, 1 in 323 children have cerebral palsy.
Although Cerebral Palsy is known to affect the way a child walks, many children are able to overcome their disability. For example, one girl in Colorado refuses to let her disability define her. http://www.lifenews.com/2014/08/19/the-doctor-told-her-parents-that-she-would-never-play-sports-now-she-is-a-rodeo-queen/
In Canada You Can’t Destroy Viable Geese Eggs, But You Can Abort Viable Unborn BabiesWhether your summer involved staying around home visiting the local swimming holes or travelling great distances, the chances are most of us will have seen Canada geese at some point. And, if not the geese themselves, certainly their ill-placed feces scattered across lakeside beaches.
Though majestic in flight, these large fowl have become a nuisance in recent years, and with a birth rate hovering around 5 goslings per year, new methods of population control are being explored. http://www.lifenews.com/2014/08/19/in-canada-you-cant-destroy-viable-geese-eggs-but-you-can-abort-viable-unborn-babies/
Single, Pregnant and Abandoned, She Could Have Chosen Abortion, But This HappenedEmbrace Grace, an organization dedicated to helping single, pregnant mothers to find the strength needed to choose life and find hope in their difficult situation, recently released the following video testimony by Mickaela.

The abandonment left her questioning her own self-worth and in search of someone who would accept her for who she was. http://www.lifenews.com/2014/08/19/single-pregnant-and-abandoned-she-could-have-chosen-abortion-but-this-happened/
