Judge Overturns Alabama Pro-Life Admitting Privileges Law That Closed Abortion Clinics
Judge Myron Thompson issued a 172-page opinion this morning ruling that the Alabama law that requires abortionists to maintain local hospital privileges in unconstitutional.
Thompson said that the rule created an “undue burden” on women seeking abortions, because that law would force three out of five abortion facilities in that state to close because abortionists at those facilities are unqualified to receive hospital privileges. http://www.lifenews.com/2014/08/04/judge-overturns-alabama-pro-life-admitting-privileges-law-that-closed-abortion-clinics/

Comedian Jimmy Fallon: Abortion Can Be “Lighthearted” and “Funny”
Comedians can find the humor in anything, right? Or so Jimmy Fallon seems to think.
Comedians can find the humor in anything, right? Or so Jimmy Fallon seems to think.
Comedian Jimmy Fallon invited the “very talented actress” Jenny Slate (“SNL,” “Parks and Recreation”) on “The Tonight Show” August 1. During her appearance, Fallon applauded Slate’s recent role in the media-dubbed “abortion romantic comedy,” “Obvious Child.” http://www.lifenews.com/2014/08/04/comedian-jimmy-fallon-abortion-can-be-lighthearted-and-funny/

Abortion Activists Challenge Texas Law That Has Closed 17 Abortion Clinics
Abortion
proponents in Texas are in court today to again challenge provisions of
the state’s multi-faceted HB 2, the law that in an earlier form was temporary stymied by the June 2013 filibuster of pro-abortion “icon” State Senator Wendy Davis, now running for governor.
The part of the law that requires abortion clinics to meet the standards of ambulatory surgical centers does not go into effect until September 1. http://www.lifenews.com/2014/08/04/abortion-activists-challenge-texas-law-that-has-closed-17-abortion-clinics/

Mother Arrested After Beating Two-Month-Old So Badly She Was Brain Dead
In
2012, homicide or abuse was the leading cause of injury-related deaths
among children 1 to 5 years old in Colorado, taking the life of 107
children. While abortion supporters insist that legal abortion will
decrease abuse-related deaths of children, this doesn’t seem to be the
case. A recent example in Denver makes this clear.
A
21-year-old mother, Kelsy-Newell Skinner, is being held at the Downtown
Detention Center in Denver after reportedly beating her 2-month old
daughter, Natalee Skinner-Hurst, to death. http://www.lifenews.com/2014/In

Hollywood Now Considers Anyone Who Practices Abstinence a Freak
Back
in the 1950s, C.S. Lewis saw chastity as under attack with “all the
contemporary propaganda for lust that makes people “feel that the
desires we are resisting are so ‘natural,’ so ‘healthy,’ and so reasonable, that it is almost perverse and abnormal to resist them.”
You can now safely delete the word “almost.” http://www.lifenews.com/2014/Back

What we don’t often talk about, though, is money. http://www.lifenews.com/2014/

Exposing the Hypocrisy of Opposing the Death Penalty But Supporting Abortion in 10 Seconds One of the biggest hypocrisies in the abortion debate are
those abortion defenders who oppose the death penalty because it
involves killing a human being but who steadfastly support legal
abortion, which also involves killing human beings. http://www.lifenews.com/2014/08/04/exposing-the-hypocrisy-of-opposing-the-death-penalty-but-supporting-abortion-in-10-seconds/
