Abortions Stopped at 16 Texas Clinics Under New Law, Saving 50 Babies Daily
Angela was twenty weeks pregnant when she walked into a dingy abortion clinic in Santa Ana, California, on August 7, 2004. Her abortion was completed in five minutes with little or no pain relief by an 84-year old abortionist, Phillip Rand, who rotated his time between several clinics throughout Southern California.

When he was done with Angela’s abortion, he got in his car and began the three-hour drive on congested California freeways to another abortion clinic in Chula Vista, near the Mexican border, where he had more patients waiting. But when Angela started bleeding heavily, the two medical aids, who were the only ones left in the clinic, didn’t know what to do. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/11/05/abortions-stopped-at-16-texas-clinics-under-new-law-saving-50-babies-daily/

Paramedics Save 9-Month-Old Unborn Baby After Mother Tragically Shot Dead
Taeler Shaltry became the fatal victim of a shooting in Detroit over the weekend, but the story of her death ended on an extraordinary note as paramedics were able to save her nine-month-old unborn child.

Surgery Saves Unborn Baby’s Life, Cyst Would Have Killed Her at Birth
Baby Lake is now 11-months-old but she would not have survived long after the birthing process had it not been for a skilled team of doctors who were after to save her life with a surgery beforehand.

Doctors at Children’s Hospital of Colorado had to half deliver Lake at 36 weeks and keep her attached to the placenta to remove the cyst. Now, she is doing amazing and is learning to walk and will not have any lasting effects from the surgery. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/11/05/surgery-saves-unborn-babys-life-cyst-would-have-killed-her-at-birth/

New Texas Law Stops Abortionist Who Did 1,500 Abortions a Year
In an article here about Reproductive Services of Harlington, an abortion clinic in Texas, an abortionist declares that if not for pro-lifers keeping a watchful eye on his clinic, he would break the law and provide abortions. Describing the situation of a patient who traveled from Mexico, Dr. Lester Minto said:

“If it weren’t for those (protesters) out there, I’d help her in a heartbeat,” Minto, 65, said, referring to anti-abortion activists gathered outside his building. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/11/05/new-texas-law-stops-abortionist-who-did-1500-abortions-a-year/
Family’s German Shepherd Saves Baby Abandoned in Local Park
The rash of stories about babies abandoned and left to die continues — but this one from England concludes with a happy ending. As the Wilday family and their beloved German Shepherd dog named Jade were strolling through a park they came across a shocking discovery.
Roger Wilday was surprised see his dog lying down next to a bag in the middle of the park, and Jade refused to leave the bag when Roger called him. Eventually Roger investigated and found a baby girl, alive, inside. The little girl has promptly been named Jade after he furry rescuer. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/11/05/familys-german-shepherd-saves-baby-abandoned-in-local-park/

Abortion Business Board Member: Rape Victims Bear Some “Responsibility”
The pro-life movement has often been the subject of condemnation for its stance opposing the abortion of unborn children in cases of rape and pro-life politicians like Tod Akin has been lambasted for making comments that critics say showed a lack of concern for rape victims.
Enter Barbara Hewson, a pro-abortion attorney who is a trustee for BPAS, a large British abortion business. Hewson believes rape victims bear some “moral responsibility” for what happened to them. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/11/05/abortion-business-board-member-rape-victims-bear-some-responsibility/
Doctor Suggests Extremely Premature Babies Should be Aborted or Left to Die
In today’s Health section of the Washington Post is a story on premature babies. While the author seems to at least try a balanced approach towards addressing the issue I sensed an undercurrent of suggesting that it would be best if these babies who are born premature were “taken care of” (read: aborted or left to die) for they are likely, if they survive, to end up with a whole host of potential ailments. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/11/05/doctor-suggests-extremely-premature-babies-should-be-aborted-or-left-to-die/
