After 30 Years Late-Term Abortion Clinic Stops Surgical Abortions Killing Babies
Once again proving you don’t need an abortion ban to stop abortions, a
pro-life law in Ohio has successfully stopped surgical abortions at a
late-term abortion clinic that couldn’t comply with the health and
safety measure to protect women and unborn children.
Today, the Lebanon Road Surgery Center announced an end to its court battle to continue surgical abortions. The abortion center in question is owned and operated by Martin Haskell, the late-term abortion practitioner who popularized the partial-birth abortion method that Congress eventually banned. http://www.lifenews.com/2014/
Planned Parenthood President Uses Ferguson Situation to Push Abortion
A
national civil rights and violence debate is brewing because of the
tenuous situation in Ferguson, Missouri. But the president of the
Planned Parenthood abortion business isn’t letting an opportunity to
push her pro-abortion agenda go to waste.

“Bioethicist” Richard Dawkins: It’s “Immoral” Not to Abort Babies With Down Syndrome
Peter Singer move over. There’s a new “bioethicist” in town who has
moral directives for the world: Richard
Dawkins. In a Twitter rant today, Dawkins pushed the notion that it is
“immoral” for parents of a baby with Down Syndrome to not kill the baby
in an abortion.

Dawkins
pushed the concept in a tweet criticizing Ireland’s ban on most
abortions and in a conversation with someone on Twitter. http://www.lifenews.com/2014/
Ice Bucket Challenge Donation Sponsor ALSA Funds Embryonic Stem Cell Research
The
popularity of the #IceBucketChallenge continues on social media across
the nation. This is the campaign to raise awareness about amyotrophic
lateral sclerosis (ALS), often called Lou Gehrig’s Disease.
Ice Bucket Challenge Donation Sponsor ALSA Funds Embryonic Stem Cell Research
The

lateral sclerosis (ALS), often called Lou Gehrig’s Disease.
The
pro-life community has a soft spot in its heart for the disabled and
terminally ill. After all, they are often targeted in abortion or
euthanasia. Unfortunately, as LifeNews has documented, there is a chance
your donation to The ALS Association could be used to support embryonic
stem cell research. http://www.lifenews.com/2014/
Clinic Worker: 16-Year-Old Forced to Have Abortion at Planned Parenthood
In
2010, Marianne Anderson worked at a Planned Parenthood facility in
Indianapolis, Indiana. She started working there because the job was
very close to her house, and she was hired to start up their conscious
sedation program, which allowed clients to purchase mild to moderate
sedatives to be given intravenously before an abortion.
Anderson, who is a mother of two and a grandmother of one, said when she started at the facility she was on the fence about abortion. This was because when she was on staff at Wishard Hospital in Indianapolis she had seen girls that had attempted abortions on themselves and ended up with hysterectomies, or boyfriends beating them because they were pregnant. http://www.lifenews.com/2014/

People Look at Me in Horror When They Learn My Daughter Was Conceived in Rape
One
of the first questions I am typically asked after I share with someone
that I am raising my child who was conceived when I was raped is, “Does
she know yet?” — often accompanied by a look of horror.
I
have learned that some regard conceiving a child conceived in rape as
necessarily being shameful in itself and/or would lead to a life of fear
because of the horrible crime that was committed, and that is sometimes
then projected and placed on children like mine. http://www.lifenews.com/2014/One

Let’s Be Honest, The Only Goal of Abortion is a Dead Baby
I
wrote a couple of weeks ago about one of the major problems I have with
the bodily autonomy argument: that it’s totally at odds with people’s
real-life experiences with abortion. In keeping with that theme, here’s
another issue I have with the bodily autonomy argument. If the bodily
autonomy argument were genuine, abortion supporters would have no
discomfort whatsoever with Melissa Ohden.
Who’s Melissa Ohden? I’m so glad you asked. http://www.lifenews.com/2014/I

Nurses on Home Visits to Patients Told to Ask: Can We (Eventually) Kill You?
Euthanasia. Rationing. Assisted Suicide. These are the kinds of
concerns the pro-life community brought up when Congress pushed through
Obamacare and government-run health care. http://www.lifenews.com/2014/
