Boulder Colorado to Pass “Nature Rights Law” Giving Flowers a “Right to Life”
Anti-human radical environmentalism continues to advance with no push back in sight.
Boulder, Colorado appears on the verge of passing a “nature rights” law, which give the birds and the bees, the flowers and the trees a putative right to life equal to our own. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/09/12/boulder-colorado-to-pass-nature-rights-law-giving-flowers-a-right-to-life/
Top 10 Mind-Blowing Images Of Human Life In The Womb
As LifeNews continues to report, pro-life advocates are pushing pro-life listicles on the Buzzfeed social media web site. Buzzfeed gives pro-life groups an opportunity to expose the pro-life message to people who may not otherwise see it through traditional social media.
National Right to Life, Live Action and other groups have gotten in on the community forum Buzzfeed provides and, now, Personhood USA has a new list of amazing images of fetal development. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/09/12/top-10-mind-blowing-images-of-human-life-in-the-womb/
Sellers Hawk “Happy Abortion” Greeting Cards and “Fetuses in Jars” on Etsy
Etsy, the internet’s famous and enormous online flea market, is full of weird nonsense, from crocheted tampons lovingly hand-crafted by hippies to the world’s most terrible art. But did you know some of that weird nonsense is abortion-related? The following are a few particularly horrible items for you to not consider buying.
Judge’s Ruling Makes North Dakota First to Ban Abortions Based on Down Syndrome
A judge’s ruling dismissing part of an abortion center’s lawsuit against a North Dakota law that bans abortions on disabled unborn children on the basis that they are disabled makes the state the first to have such a ban in place.
With the governor’s signature on the ban earlier this year, North Dakota has become the first state to ban abortions based on genetic “defects” like Down Syndrome. When diagnosed before birth, such genetic abnormalities prompt couples to have abortions 90 percent of the time. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/09/12/judges-ruling-makes-north-dakota-first-to-ban-abortions-based-on-down-syndrome/
Finally... moral, pro-life fiction that opens hearts and minds! “This is what I was hoping would begin to spring from the Indie World. No way would NYC Corporate Publishing ever allow something with this worldview through.” - a reader.

Mother Tearfully Recalls: My Boyfriend Tricked Me Into Aborting My Baby
The interview yesterday with CNN’s Chris Cuomo lasted only a few minutes, but no viewer could watch Remee Lee tearfully recall how she had been duped into chemically aborting her child and not be deeply moved.
Andrew Welden pled guilty this week to lesser charges in exchange for the prosecution dropping the murder charge made possible by the federal Unborn Victims of Violence Act legislation that was instigated by NRLC and signed into law by President George W. Bush in 2004. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/09/12/mother-tearfully-recalls-my-boyfriend-tricked-me-into-aborting-my-baby/
Former Abortion Doc: Abortion is “Murder, Society Can’t Go On This Way”
I recently stumbled across the testimony of Dr. Grant Clark. Dr. Clark performed abortions many years ago in California. In an interview with Oregon Right to Life, he described the two cases that convinced him to stop doing abortions.
One was a case where a woman remained pregnant after he had aborted her child and, several months later, gave birth to a healthy baby. (The woman had a rare condition in which she actually had two uteruses). http://www.lifenews.com/2013/09/12/former-abortion-doc-abortion-is-murder-society-cant-go-on-this-way/
Government Denies Aid to Ministry Feeding the Poor, But Supports Abortion
A government official in Florida has told an outreach ministry, Christian Service Center (CSC), that serves the poor it can no longer distribute USDA food the government allocates for private charities—unless, of course, the ministry agrees to take down its portraits of Christ, hide its copy of the Ten Commandments, and remove a banner that reads, “Jesus is Lord.” The ministry also has to stop handing out Bibles, quit offering to pray with the needy, and agree not to refer people to its chapel.
Basically, this ministry—which previously had been given USDA food by the government to distribute to the poor—was told in the future it could distribute food only if it did so without mention of religion. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/09/12/government-denies-aid-to-ministry-feeding-the-poor-but-supports-abortion/
