Amazing Video “Life in the Womb” Chronicles 9 Months of Development in 4 Minutes
I always love to watch well-done stories of fetal development, even more so now that our daughter-in-law has had two babies. So what makes this compelling viewing? For some of the same reasons other well-done videos grab your attention: pace, music, and most of all the clear demonstration that fetal development is a natural progression, starting at fertilization and ending with the first cry.

Abortionist on Babies He’s Aborted: “It’s Not Hard to Look at Those Tiny Fingers”
A recent story at Esquire chronicled the abortion practice of Willie Parker, an abortionist who commutes from Chicago to Mississippi to commit abortions at the state’s last abortion mill.

Late-Term Abortion Clinic Will No Longer Do Surgical Abortions When last we wrote about Martin Haskell’s Sharonville, Ohio, abortion clinic, a judge had ruled that it is the Ohio Department of Health’s “sole discretion” whether it gives a variance to the requirement that abortion clinics have a transfer agreement with a nearby hospital in cases of emergency. http://www.lifenews.com/2014/08/26/late-term-abortion-clinic-will-no-longer-do-surgical-abortions/
