Women Sell Positive Pregnancy Tests on Craigslist
A new kind of ad is making its way to popular advertising web site Craigslist: women selling positive pregnancy tests.

The women selling the tests are touting them as a way to pressure a boyfriend to propose or to prank Mom and Dad. But there is another more disgusting use that sellers are pushing: using them as a means to collect money from friends and family for an abortion and using the cash for a vacation or buying a high-dollar item. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/09/02/women-sell-positive-pregnancy-tests-on-craigslist-for-money-for-fake-abortions/
Obama Agreed With Mandating Sex Ed Classes for Kindergarten Students
Last week, the Chicago public school system caused a furor by announcing that it thought little boys and girls in kindergarten are ready for sex ed classes. it turns out President Barack Obama, before he became president, agreed.

As LifeNews reported, the Chicago public school system added to its curriculum this year mandatory sexual and health education for kindergarten classes. The new policy calls for 300 minutes of instruction or about 30 minutes a month. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/09/02/obama-agreed-with-mandating-sex-ed-classes-for-kindergarten-students/
Couple Adopts Triplets, Three Weeks Later They’re Expecting Twins
An adorable and surprising story is making its way through Facebook pages today. It’s the story of a Tulsa, Oklahoma couple – Andy and Sarah Justice, who had a longing in their heart to have children but struggled to conceive. After three and a half years Andy and Sarah decided to go to a specialist but the treatment was too expensive. Instead they went in a different direction and contacted an adoption agency connected to a faith based Crisis Pregnancy Center.
In the adoption process the birth mother got to chose the family she wanted her child to go to. Andy and Sarah were happy when they got a call from a mom letting them know she selected them. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/09/02/couple-adopts-triplets-three-weeks-later-theyre-expecting-twins/
Denying Their Humanity: Still No Burial for 47 Babies Gosnell Victimized
Philadelphia City Hall seems to be hoping that pro-lifers forget that life is sacred. Good luck with that.

Forty seven victims of abortionist Kermit Gosnell were treated as non-human waste from the moment they were conceived. Their inhumane treatment continues even now, months after abortionist Kermit Gosnell was convicted of murder in the City of Brotherly Love. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/09/02/denying-their-humanity-still-no-burial-for-47-babies-gosnell-victimized/


Kids Find Three-Month Premature Baby in the Trash, Still Breathing
A group of kids found a three-month premature baby, who was still breathing, in a trash pile behind a building in Jersey City, New Jersey over the weekend. The child is now at Jersey City Medical Center receiving medical care and treatment.

New Jersey’s safe haven law would have allowed the mom to leave the boy anonymously at a hospital or police station without abandoning the infant to die. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/09/02/kids-find-three-month-premature-baby-in-the-trash-still-breathing/
Couple Adopts Physically Disabled Baby Others Called a “Curse”
For nine months, Adam was carried in his biological mother’s womb. He was safe with her, until the day he was born. Shortly after his birth, in a hospital in India, Adam was abandoned. He had been born with severe physical deformities.
No one in his family wanted him. Not one of them opened their heart or home to him. He was a child whose life many in this United States of abundance would deem unworthy of living. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/09/02/couple-adopts-physically-disabled-baby-others-called-a-curse/

Euthanasia Activist: Killing Loved One in Assisted Suicide is “Better Than Sex”
Does assisting suicide have a sexual–or perhaps better stated, sensual–component for some people? I have thought it might ever since reading A Chosen Death by assisted suicide advocate Dr. Lonnie Shavelson.
Shavelson witnessed Sarah, described as a Hemlock Society leader, murdering “Gene,” who changed his mind before dying, only to have Sarah put a plastic bag over his head. Demonstrating Shavelson’s moral hollowness, he not only didn’t stop the woman from killing Gene, but didn’t report the case to the police. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/09/02/euthanasia-activist-killing-loved-one-in-assisted-suicide-is-better-than-sex/
Abortion Coverage for Congress? Obamacare Could Zap Ban on Tax-Funded Abortions
The Obamacare health care “reform” law will fund abortions and has already resulted in sending more than $1 million to the Planned Parenthood abortion business. But one pro-life groups warns that the law could zap a ban on taxpayer-funded abortions for federal employees — including members of Congress. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/09/02/abortion-coverage-for-congress-obamacare-could-zap-ban-on-tax-funded-abortions/


Celebrities Moved by Birth of Their Kids, If Only They’d Acknowledge Abortion Kills
