Planned Parenthood Counselor Caught Telling Teen to Let Her Boyfriend Beat HerAbortion activists claim pro-lifers are engaging in a “war on women:” by passing legislation to protect women and unborn children from abortion. But a new expose’ video catches a Planned Parenthood staffer engaging in her own war on women.
The pro-life group Live Action released the third installment today in its “SexEd” investigative series, showing a Planned Parenthood staffer in Portland, Oregon offering disturbing sex counseling to someone she thinks is a fifteen-year-old girl. The video clearly shows the counselor encouraging the young girl to allow herself to be victimized in violent sexual encounters with her partner. http://www.lifenews.com/2014/07/23/planned-parenthood-counselor-caught-telling-teen-to-let-her-boyfriend-beat-her/
Obama Admin May Revise HHS Mandate After Losing Hobby Lobby BattleThe Obama administration may back down somewhat on the pro-abortion HHS mandate that compels religious groups and businesses to pay for abortion-causing drugs and birth control for their employees after losing its battle against Hobby Lobby at the Supreme Court.
However, the head of one pro-life group warns that it doesn’t trust the Obama administration to provide adequate protection for religious nonprofits that have objections to the abortion-causing drugs. http://www.lifenews.com/2014/07/23/obama-admin-may-back-down-on-hhs-mandate-after-losing-hobby-lobby-battle/
This Abortion Survivor’s Heartbreaking Letter to the Abortionist Will Leave You SpeechlessEveryday thousands of unborn humans are killed through abortion. They will never meet their mother. And they will never get the chance to tell the abortionist who killed them that he is forgiven. It isn’t every day that a person survives an attempt on her life, but surviving an abortion isn’t as uncommon or impossible as people think.
People who survive abortion are often full of questions and pain. Knowing that their own mother tried to have them killed is a heavy weight to carry throughout their lives. And knowing that the person who tried to kill them is probably out there killing other children on daily basis just adds to that pain. http://www.lifenews.com/2014/07/23/this-abortion-survivors-heartbreaking-letter-to-the-abortionist-will-leave-you-speechless/

He Didn’t Learn of the Abortion Until Two Days Later When His Girlfriend Showed Up Crying
It certainly comes as no surprise and it is definitely not new news that the abortion industry and the media and individuals who support it try and deny the truth about abortion and the reality of abortion survivors, but I’ve been thinking a lot lately about how this denial of our lives and abortion’s often devastating effects doesn’t just affect us, but affects our families, truly, it affects all families, who have been touched by abortion.
About this time last year, I wrote a post in reference to the Washington Post’s attempt in 2012 to discredit my life and life story in their support of President Obama, and in it, I started to process out some of my thoughts about how responses like this by those that are pro-abortion not only affect me, but affect my family, who have been forever changed by the abortion that was meant to end my life. http://www.lifenews.com/2014/07/23/he-didnt-learn-of-the-abortion-until-two-days-later-when-his-girlfriend-showed-up-crying/

Newborn Baby Found Alive, Abandoned in Apartment Dumpster Now Doing WellA final decision may soon be made in finding a home for Baby Carlos Guzman, abandoned by his mother last February, but whose image “made the hearts of Houstonians melt,” according to local television station KPRC.
Referring to a foster family who wants to adopt him, a case worker was in court last week to tell the judge that Baby Carlos is “in a great place…he couldn’t be in a better place.” http://www.lifenews.com/2014/07/23/newborn-baby-found-alive-abandoned-in-apartment-dumpster-now-doing-well/
Amazing Clip Of A Pregnant Woman At 36 Weeks, I Was Stunned!Debi and Ryan Cragun knew that people would have a hard time believing this unless they saw it for themselves. That’s why the couple created this video of their unborn son Toren giving his mother a hard time from inside the womb.
Father Ryan writes: We probably shot close to 3 hours of footage of Toren moving inside Debi. We got some pretty good footage, but this shot – directly at her belly – is hands down the best. If you watch it closely you’ll be able to see a side profile of Toren all at once (his head is down and his legs are up). . http://www.lifenews.com/2014/07/23/amazing-clip-of-a-pregnant-woman-at-36-weeks-i-was-stunned/

Liberal Court Dismisses Massive Fraud Lawsuit Against Planned ParenthoodThe liberal 9th Circuit Court of Appeals dismissed a case yesterday that alleges the Planned Parenthood abortion business defrauded the state of California out of hundreds of millions of dollars by overcharging customers for birth control and improperly asking the state for taxpayer-funded reimbursements.
Former California Planed Parenthood financial official P. Victor Gonzalez is behind the lawsuit. Gonzalez says his own internal audit estimates that Planned Parenthood overcharged California taxpayers for purchasing birth control by at least $180 million. http://www.lifenews.com/2014/07/23/liberal-court-dismisses-massive-fraud-lawsuit-against-planned-parenthood/
