Couple Who Wanted Surrogate to Abort Twin Baby With Down Syndrome Hiding in Home to Escape Media The mother and father of the twin baby Gammy, who they wanted a surrogate to abort because he was diagnosed with Down Syndrome, have been found to be hiding in their home during this entire ordeal to escape media attention.
The story is sending shockwaves throughout the pro-life community as it highlights the problems associated with abortion, surrogacy and the targeting of babies with Down Syndrome, 90% of whom die in abortions, according to some reports. http://www.lifenews.com/2014/08/08/couple-who-wanted-surrogate-to-abort-twin-baby-with-down-syndrome-hiding-in-home-to-escape-media/
Planned Parenthood Won’t Comment on Doing Abortion on Raped 13-Year-Old, Returning Her to RapistPlanned Parenthood enabled a sexual abuser to prey on a 13-year-old girl over and over. It appears to have broken state law in ignoring the repeated rapes and abuse and, now, it won’t comment on the record.
A Planned Parenthood affiliate in Denver, Colorado is facing a lawsuit after Cary Smith, of Federal Heights, discovered that clinic staff failed to inquire or report about suspected sexual abuse of her thirteen-year-old daughter after giving her an abortion. http://www.lifenews.com/2014/08/08/planned-parenthood-wont-comment-on-doing-abortion-on-raped-13-year-old-returning-her-to-rapist/
Beautiful Poem Remembers Baby Who Lived for Just Two Hours After Birth A mother has written a beautiful poem to honor her daughter, who tragically lived for just two hours after birth.
Tanya Coonan was expecting twins but one little girl, Lillie, was affected by iniencephaly, a condition which is life-limiting. When she was born, Tanya and her family held her in their arms for 2 hours and ten minutes before she passed away. http://www.lifenews.com/2014/08/08/beautiful-poem-remembers-baby-who-lived-for-just-two-hours-after-birth/

Gammy Case Shows How Consumer Parents Have Turned Babies Into Commodities
Babies are now treated as products to be ordered, manufactured, received and discarded according to our wills.
Anyone who frequents Starbucks knows that the order you’re least likely to hear in a shop is for “a cup of coffee.” There is no end to the elaborate combinations of flavorings and variations that we caffeine addicts can and have come up with. http://www.lifenews.com/2014/08/08/gammy-case-shows-how-consumer-parents-have-turned-babies-into-commodities/
15-Year-Old Forced to Abort Her Unborn Baby, Now At 22 She Can’t Ever Have ChildrenMany abortion supporters believe that abortion should be legal without any restrictions. They say no to ultrasounds, counseling, or waiting periods before abortions; no to parental consent for minors seeking abortions; and no to bans on painful late abortions and federally funded abortions. Clearly, their ideology is that abortion should be funded by our tax-dollars and permissible for any reason.
They also claim that abortion is “harmless” and access to it should be a woman’s fundamental right because she’s the boss of her own body. In fact, these days we hear that abortion is actually good for women. http://www.lifenews.com/2014/08/08/15-year-old-forced-to-abort-her-unborn-baby-now-at-22-she-cant-ever-have-children/
When I Saw What This Baby Did With Her Dad, It Was Just Too CuteDuring the first two years of a baby’s life, they are learning one of their most important skills: how to talk. However, before they utter their first word, they are analyzing how the adults around them communicate. They start by playing with sounds to try and imitate what they hear in their environment.
Oftentimes, the first words a baby might say are da-da or ba-ba-ba. This is because they are developing their speech and gaining neuromuscular and neurophysical control. This is why it is very important that parents talk to their children even before they understand words. http://www.lifenews.com/2014/08/08/when-i-saw-what-this-baby-did-with-her-dad-it-was-just-too-cute/

She Wouldn’t Be Here If The Abortion Had Successfully Killed Her MommyAs the survivor of a failed abortion attempt in the U.S. in 1977, Melissa Ohden now puts a face to abortion around the world, and gives a voice to the unborn children who lose their lives to abortion every day. The portion of Melissa’s medical records explain that a “saline infusion for an abortion was done but unsuccessful” which resulted in her birth.
Now, Melissa is a well-known pro-life advocate, speaker, and a writer for LifeNews.com. http://www.lifenews.com/2014/08/08/she-wouldnt-be-here-if-the-abortion-had-successfully-killed-her-mother/
