Man Who Killed His Unborn Child By Tricking Girlfriend Into Taking Abortion Drug Gets 14 Years John Andrew Welden is heading to prison for 14 years after he tricked his pregnant girlfriend, Remee Lee, into taking a drug, misoprostol, to cause an abortion. Lee was six weeks pregnant and refused to have an abortion as Welden had demanded.
Authorities say that 28-year-old John Andrew Welden did not want to be a father, so when his girlfriend, Remee Jo Lee, got pregnant, Welden faked a prescription for an abortion pill, switched a label so the medication appeared to be a common antibiotic, and gave her the drug. The drug did its job. The unborn baby died. http://www.lifenews.com/2014/01/27/man-who-killed-his-unborn-child-by-tricking-girlfriend-into-taking-abortion-drug-gets-14-years/
Hospital Cuts Pregnant Woman From Life Support, Killing Her Unborn ChildA Texas hospital decided not to appeal a judge’s decision late Friday to allow a husband’s bid to remove his “brain dead” pregnant wife from life support, an action that would end the life of his own unborn child.
Following the decision, Marlise Muñoz, 33, was taken off machines at a Fort Worth hospital about 11:30 a.m. Sunday and her body was released to her husband, Erick Muñoz. The husband’s attorney released a statement saying the family “will now proceed with the somber task of laying Marlise Muñoz’s body to rest, and grieving over the great loss that has been suffered.” Erick Munoz’s statement made no mention of his unborn child, who has now died as a result of removing Marlise from life support. http://www.lifenews.com/2014/01/27/hospital-cuts-pregnant-woman-from-life-support-killing-her-unborn-child/
Death of Unborn Baby Girl in Texas Similar to Judge-Ordered Death of Terri SchiavoThe debate continues to rage over the life of death of little Nicole Machado Munoz, whose life ended when her father won the right from a judge to remove her “brain dead” mother from life support.
The debate over Erick Munoz’s decision to remove his wife’s life support and terminate his baby’s life has sparked disagreements even within the pro-life community. Some pro-life people believe Erick Munoz is essentially responsible for an abortion of his daughter — needlessly taking her life when she was days away from being viable enough to live outside her mothers womb with a good chance of surviving. http://www.lifenews.com/2014/01/27/death-of-unborn-baby-girl-in-texas-similar-to-judge-ordered-death-of-terri-schiavo/

House Votes This Week on Bill to Stop Hidden Abortion Fees in Obamacare
The House will vote this week on legislation that will put in place a complete ban on taxpayer funding of abortions and ensures abortions are not directly funded in any federal governmental program or department.
But the bill also would stop hidden abortion fees most Americans probably don’t know are a part of Obamacare. Insurance companies working under the Obamacare umbrella have secretly added a surcharge to cover the cost of abortions, an apparent violation of federal law that forbids the practice, congressional leaders charge. http://www.lifenews.com/2014/01/27/house-votes-this-week-on-bill-to-stop-hidden-abortion-fees-in-obamacare/

Family Cares for Son in Coma for 31 Years Before Dying This story is important because it shows a vivid contrast between two approaches dealing with severe human disability–one based on the equality/sanctity of life, and the other a utilitarian “quality of life ethic–currently vying for predominance in the West.
As I see it, the former remains the default approach of “main street,” while the latter is advocated with increasing intensity by our betters in the emerging medical technocracy and ivory tower bioethics. http://www.lifenews.com/2014/01/27/family-cares-for-son-in-coma-for-31-years-before-dying/
Baby Nicole Munoz Was Never Given a “Right to Choose”The life of a 23 week-old fetus was aborted in the state of Texas yesterday, and ironically, the child’s mother wasn’t involved in the choice. In fact, had her mother still been conscious, a newly passed Texas law prohibiting the abortion of pain-conscious fetuses (beyond 20 weeks gestation) would’ve protected her life today.
But Baby Munoz was not your average “unwanted” fetus. Neither was the pregnancy that carried her, nor her eventual death anywhere near typical. Baby Munoz’ mother Marlise became brain-dead on November 26th when her wanted fetus was only 14 weeks old. http://www.lifenews.com/2014/01/27/baby-nicole-munoz-was-never-given-a-right-to-choose/
60,000 Pro-Lifers Line the Streets of San Francisco During West Coast Walk for LifeSome 60,000 pro-life people lined the streets of San Francisco on Saturday for the West Coast Walk for Life — a way for pro-life Americans in the western United States to show their opposition to abortion.
Starting in 2005, with 7,500 participants the Walk has grown in both attendance and diversity each year, until it is now the second largest pro-life event in the United States. Last year’s attendance was estimated as high as 50,000 people and more people showed up yesterday. http://www.lifenews.com/2014/01/26/50000-pro-lifers-line-the-streets-of-san-francisco-during-west-coast-walk-for-life/
Woman Admits Selling Her Baby for Sex Multiple Times An Indiana woman has admitted to authorities to selling her baby for sexual relations multiple times.

Abortion Doc: “Extracting a Fetus, Piece By Piece, Was Bad For My Sleep” In a 1994 editorial in the Los Angeles Times, an abortionist named Dr. George Flesh wrote about how he left the abortion business. http://www.lifenews.com/2014/01/27/abortion-doc-extracting-a-fetus-piece-by-piece-was-bad-for-my-sleep/
President Obama Versus Hobby Lobby: So Much for the “Right to Choose” Senior advisor to President Obama, Valerie Jarrett, wrote for the White House blog and the Huffington Post that, “A Woman’s Health Care Decisions Should Be in Her Own Hands, Not Her Boss’s.” I couldn’t agree more. http://www.lifenews.com/2014/01/27/president-obama-versus-hobby-lobby-so-much-for-the-right-to-choose/
