Congress
to Investigate Planned Parenthood Abortion Business
The
Government Accountability Office’s (GAO), a Congressional agency,
has indicated it will conduct an investigation of the Planned Parenthood
abortion, business, which was recently busted for millions of dollars
of Medicaid fraud in Texas.
The abortion giant has engaged in at least $12.5 million in fraud over multiple states — that has become public knowledge so far. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/

Pro-Life March Will Challenge Mainstream Media to Drop the Abortion
Bias
“It’s too uncomfortable
for the public.” This is the mainstream media’s collective excuse
for not broadcasting major stories related to abortion. It took months for
the Gosnell trial to be acknowledged, and thereafter scantly covered in comparison
to comparable scandals, by networks like ABC.
During debates over the hotly contested pro-life omnibus bill in Texas this season, networks chose to ignore the issue and talk about Wendy Davis’s pink running shoes instead. Rampant maternal deaths and botched abortions at innumerable abortion facilities across the nation, like LeRoy Carhart’s and Virginia’s Nova Women’s Healthcare, are blatantly ignored. “Because it’s too uncomfortable.” http://www.lifenews.com/2013/

Chinese
Woman Kidnapped and Forced Have Abortion at Seven Months
Although
some questionable news reports claim China is reforming its one-child, forced
abortion policy, women continue to be forced to have abortions.

abortion policy, women continue to be forced to have abortions.
Gong Qifeng was
kidnapped and forced at seven months of pregnancy to have an abortion, according
to new news reports, and she may have developed a mental disorder as a result
of the trauma associated with it. The forced abortion occurred in Lianyuan
City in central China’s Hunan Province. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/
Wendy Davis is now the face of the pro-abortion movement but they may want to
consider getting a new national spokeswoman since she clearly has no idea what
she’s talking about when it comes to abortion.Davis yesterday admitted she doesn’t know much about the biggest abortion case in recent history — the conviction of Kermit Gosnell for killing babies in brutal abortion-infanticide procedures. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/
Man Tries to Sell His Girlfriend’s Asthmatic Baby for $100
on CraigsList
Years
ago, pro-life people passed around a popular flier that asked the rhetorical
question: How much is a human life worth? The answer, of course, is that
one can’t affix a price on the value of the life of a human being.
But one man, who was caught attempting to sell his lover’s baby on CraigsList, thinks the price of the life of a child should be about a hundred bucks. Worse, the baby suffers from asthama and that was part of the reason he desired to sell her. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/

BroChoice: Activist Says Oregon Best State to Have Sex In Because
It’s Pro-Abortion
The
whole “BroChoice” campaign — and the notion that supporting
abortion is a good thing for men to do because it allows them to get out
of the responsibility of becoming a parent by pressuring their partner to
have an abortion– continues to expand.
Rollie Williams, who calls himself
a comedian, writer, and biochemist on the website Upworthy, says Oregon
is the best state in the nation to have sex in because it’s laws are
the most pro-abortion. That’s what he says in a piece titled, “Why
Oregon Just Became The Best State To Have Sex In” under the headline
“Women.” http://www.lifenews.com/2013/The

Tweet Calling Wendy Davis “Abortion Barbie” Has Twitter
All Abuzz
Conservative
activist Erick Erickson has Twitter abuzz this afternoon.
Conservative
activist Erick Erickson has Twitter abuzz this afternoon.
After Texas abortion
advocate Wendy Davis was exposed as not knowing the details of the Kermit
Gosnell case, and after she said women were essentially stupid and “didn’t
understand abortion” if they opposed banning late-term abortions, Erickson
pulled out a label for Davis. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/
Women’s
Medical Group Bans Pro-Life Physicians From Giving Presentations
I am in the middle of reading Free Speech for Me– But Not for Thee: How the American Left and Right Relentlessly Censor Each Other, by the wonderful journalist and First Amendment champion Nat Hentoff (who happens to be a pro-life atheist as well). The book was first published two decades ago. Sadly, it remains as timely as ever. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/

Keep Fighting to Strip Planned Parenthood Abortion Biz of Taxpayer Funds
In the last few days, one skirmish among dozens in the coast-to-coast legal abortion war came to an end in Indiana when the state and Planned Parenthood reached an agreement that formalizes a series of rulings by federal courts over the last two years. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/
Busting
Planned Parenthood Abortion Biz’s Fraud in Texas Just the Beginning
After investigating Planned Parenthood Gulf Coast over allegations that it charged Medicaid for services which were not rendered and which were medically unnecessary, Texas Attorney General Greg Abbott’s office announced a $1.4 million fine for the abortionists. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/
Study: Distance to Get an Abortion Shorter Than Distance to Get to Work
The Guttmacher Institute (GI) just released a study entitled, “How Far Did US Women Travel for Abortions in 2008?” by Rachel Jones and Jenna Jerman. This study indicates that 71 percent of patients traveled fewer than 25 miles and 85 percent traveled fewer than 50 miles to obtain an abortion. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/

What
if Babies Dying From Abortion Were Kids Drowning? Would You Save Them?
I was a lifeguard at the local country club my senior year of high school. It was the one job I absolutely enjoyed and looked forward to every day. I would never have admitted it then but I loved being the one on watch to protect people, especially the children. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/

New
York Times Falsely Claims Fetal Pain is a Fake Medical Theory
In his August 2 article, Theory On Pain Is Driving Rules For Abortion, New York Times’s Erik Eckholm set about to critique how the “theory” of fetal pain is driving a push by pro-lifers for state laws tightening up abortion restrictions. Yet, in trying to convince readers that “fetal pain” is a fringe medical theory, he failed to cite any mainstream medical journal that explicitly rules out the probability that unborn children feel pain in the womb. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/

When
a Mother and Unborn Baby Tragically Die, New York Times Still Uses “Fetus”
The term fetus is Latin for “young one” and, in and of itself, is not an offensive term when it comes to acknowledging the humanity of the unborn child before birth. But the media and abortion backers often employ the word as opposed to terms like “unborn child” or “baby” to describe human beings before birth in order to remove their humanity and lessen their moral standing. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/
