Police Find Seven Dead Babies in Utah Home, Six Packed in Cardboard BoxesIn a shocking discovery, police have found seven dead babies in a Utah woman’s home, six of them packed away in cardboard boxes.
Police believe Megan Huntsman, 39, gave birth to the babies then killed them over the past decade and they arrested her on Saturday after the grisly discovery. They found the babies following a call from Huntsman’s ex-husband about a dead infant found inside a Pleasant Grove home that Huntsman lived in until 2011. Officers arrived and found the body of a newborn infant, who appeared to be full term. http://www.lifenews.com/2014/04/13/police-find-seven-dead-babies-in-utah-home-six-packed-in-cardboard-boxes/

A Father Films His Daughter As She Grows From 0 Months To 14-Years-OldFrans Hofmeester is a professional filmmaker and video artist from Utrecht, Netherlands. In this video, he filmed his daughter, Lotte, from 0 months to 14-years-old, and then he edited it all together to show his little girl growing up.
“This new Time-Lapse shows Lotte changing from baby to 14 years in four minutes,” he says at his YouTube video. “I filmed my daughter every week, from birth up until she turned 14 years old an then made this time lapse edit.” http://www.lifenews.com/2014/04/14/a-father-films-his-daughter-as-she-grows-from-0-months-to-14-years-old/
Television Networks Ignore Case of Utah Mother Accused of Killing Seven Babies
ABC, CBS, and NBC’s morning newscasts on Monday all omitted the arrest of a Utah woman, after the bodies of seven newborn babies were discovered in her house on Saturday. The Big Three morning shows did understandably devote a significant amount of air time to a white supremacist’s shooting rampage at two Jewish community centers near Kansas City.
However, the networks also set aside over two minutes each to a bear mauling in central Florida, and CBS This Morning and NBC’s Today also covered the so-called “blood moon” lunar eclipse. http://www.lifenews.com/2014/04/14/television-networks-ignore-case-of-utah-mother-accused-of-killing-seven-babies/

Justina Pelletier’s Parents File Emergency Petition With Supreme Court to Regain Custody Justina Pelletier’s parents have field an emergency appeal with the state Supreme Court in Massachusetts to regain custody of their daughter.
Today, Linda and Lou Pelletier filed a Habeas Corpus pleading with the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court. The detailed Petition and Memorandum of Law requests that Justina be released from the Massachusetts Department of Children and Families (DCF) and be returned to the custody of her parents, Lou and Linda Pelletier. http://www.lifenews.com/2014/04/14/justina-pelletiers-parents-file-emergency-petition-with-supreme-court-to-regain-custody/
Police Officer Delivers His Own Daughter in His Squad Car While Rushing Wife to HospitalHawaii Police officer Mario Ochoa was hoping to get the hospital to deliver his daughter, but didn’t quite make it. Instead, Ochoa had to pull over his squad car on the way and help his wife their their new daughter, Marcella, on the side of the road.
When he and his wife Ryan were on their way to North Hawaii Community Hospital on the Big Island the cop realized that they wouldn’t make it in time, even if he put on his lights and sirens in an attempt to get there faster. http://www.lifenews.com/2014/04/14/police-officer-delivers-his-own-daughter-in-his-squad-car-while-rushing-wife-to-hospital/

Mom Gives Birth in a Coma After Horrific Crash, Wakes Up Three Days LaterA young woman has given birth despite being in a coma following a horrific crash. Fortunately, she awoke three days later to be able to spend her life with her new baby.
Wei Liu, 30, gave birth while in a coma in hospital after the horrific crash and didn’t know she had a new son until she awoke from the coma. In an accident in Manchester, England, Zain Iqbal crashed into Lui’s cab — leaving her badly injured as medical officials rushed her to a hospital. Iqbal was attempting to pass another vehicle at the time and speeding. http://www.lifenews.com/2014/04/14/mom-gives-birth-in-a-coma-after-horrific-crash-wakes-up-three-days-later/
$5 Billion in Tax Subsidies Headed to Obamacare Plans That Fund Abortions Based on the number of persons who had enrolled in ObamaCare as of March 1, at least $5 billion in federal tax subsidies will be available to help purchase health plans that cover elective abortion, with the figure sure to increase as additional millions of Americans enroll. http://www.lifenews.com/2014/04/14/5-billion-in-tax-subsidies-headed-to-obamacare-plans-that-fund-abortions/
Amazing New Technology Shows Unborn Twins Jockeying for Space Any Internet sensation—even if it colorfully over-interprets what is taking place—that further clarifies how child-like the unborn child is will always be welcomed. http://www.lifenews.com/2014/04/14/amazing-new-technology-shows-unborn-twins-jockeying-for-space/
7 Reasons Why the Pro-Life Movement is Winning on Abortion You may (or may not!) have noticed I’ve been out-of-pocket a few days.

If Your Doctor Tells You to Abort Your Baby, Get a New Doctor I really detest abuse of authority. And nowhere are the consequences graver than when the life of a baby is at stake. http://www.lifenews.com/2014/04/14/if-your-doctor-tells-you-to-abort-your-baby-get-a-new-doctor/

“Abortion Desert:” Activist Complains Large Swath of America is Abortion Free Taking a page from liberal activists concerned with “food deserts” in America’s inner cities, it seems abortion rights absolutists are taking a rhetorical test drive with the arid metaphor for areas lacking many abortion clinics. http://www.lifenews.com/2014/04/14/abortion-desert-activist-complains-large-swath-of-america-is-abortion-free/

Colorado Bill Would Declare Fundamental “Right” to Abortion, Prevent Any Pro-Life Legislation With pro-abortion Democrats controlling the Colorado state legislature and the governor’s office, abortion activists are pushing what pro-life groups are calling the most radically pro-abortion legislation in the state’s history. http://www.lifenews.com/2014/04/14/colorado-bill-would-declare-fundamental-right-to-abortion-prevent-any-pro-life-legislation/
Abby Johnson’s Ministry Has Helped More Than 100 Abortion Clinic Workers Quit There are a number of ways of stopping abortions — whether it’s legislation, with prayer, pregnancy centers providing positive alternatives, pro-life groups working to close abortion clinics or what former Planned Parenthood abortion clinic manager Abby Johnson is doing.

Young Pregnant Pro-Life Woman Manhandled at Pro-Abortion UN Event Those of us in the pro-life movement who have spent any time at the United Nations or other international conferences have come to a sad conclusion that those who profit from abortion are truly more concerned for their agenda than for the women their agenda will impact. http://www.lifenews.com/2014/04/14/young-pregnant-pro-life-woman-manhandled-at-pro-abortion-un-event/
