Woman Drowned Her Newborn Babies in the Toilet Because Abortions Cost Too Much A Maryland woman faces 20 years in prison after she was charged with one count of second-degree murder and two counts of manslaughter in the deaths of her newborn babies. Melissa Schrae Bowen, 34, of Prince Frederick, Maryland, drowned her newborns in the toilet because she was unable to afford an abortion.
Last Friday, Bowen attended a court appearance, during which prosecutors offered and she accepted a plea agreement that will net her a total of 20 years in the state penitentiary for the involuntary manslaughter of “Baby Boy A” and “Baby Boy B.http://www.lifenews.com/2014/08/14/woman-drowned-her-newborn-babies-in-the-toilet-because-abortions-cost-too-much/

This Beautiful Dance to Honor 57 Million Babies Killed in Abortion Will Blow Your Mind Mollie Thomas was born and raised in the beautiful mountains of North Carolina. Her parents are a loving couple, who grew her up in the Christian faith. From the young age of five Mollie had an awareness of the love of Jesus. When she was eight Mollie’s church held a presentation put on by a local crisis pregnancy center.

Planned Parenthood Told 15-Year-Old: Let Boyfriend Put “Welts on Your Back” With Whip
“I would say anything within the sexual world is normal as long as it’s consensual.
This is the advice of a Planned Parenthood employee. In the fourth shocking video from the pro-life group Live Action’s undercover investigation, “SexEd: Planned Parenthood’s Dangerous Sex Advice for Kids,” another clinic is exposed promoting bondage and submission, sadism and masochism. Here’s just a taste of the advice an employee at the Minneapolis-St. Paul facility gave to an under cover minor regarding her sexual adventures with her boyfriend: http://www.lifenews.com/2014/08/14/planned-parenthood-told-15-year-old-let-boyfriend-put-welts-on-your-back-with-whip/
Woman Reflects on Her Abortion: “They Put the Baby in a Bag and Stood There Like it Was Nothing”Millions of women around the world regret their abortions and thousands upon thousands of women have spoken out over the years about their regret. They talk about the mental anguish and spiritual regrets they feel concerning their abortion and their desire to go back and undo their decision.
But one phenomenon is common in many stories about abortion regret: the completely dispassionate way in which abortion facility staff treat what is obviously the destruction of human life and the killing of a tiny baby in an abortion. http://www.lifenews.com/2014/08/14/woman-reflects-on-her-abortion-they-put-the-baby-in-a-bag-and-stood-there-like-it-was-nothing/
Today Show Host Savannah Guthrie: Only Response to New Baby is “Gratitude and Praise”We’ve talked about Today Show co-host Savannah Guthrie’s pregnancy in the context of some remarkable episodes that wonderfully illuminated the world of “Hotel Uterus,” as Guthrie whimsically put it and the incredible development of the “guest.” (See nrlc.cc/1r98Xr8 and nrlc.cc/1r99GbM.)
Ms. Guthrie went on maternity leave Monday and on her last day the Today Show crew showered her with love, gifts, and advice. http://www.lifenews.com/2014/08/14/today-show-host-savannah-guthrie-only-response-to-new-baby-is-gratitude-and-praise/
Her Brother Was Killed in an Abortion, It Could Just Have Easily Been HerRenee, who lost a sibling to abortion, has launched an internet ministry to help others in the same situation.

This Secret Abortion Doctor is the Only Reason Mississippi is Not Abortion Free The State of Mississippi filed an appeal to the full Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals on Wednesday seeking a reversal of a last month’s ruling by a three member panel that has blocked implementation of a 2012 law that requires abortionists to maintain hospital privileges within 30 miles of their abortion facilities. If allowed to take effect, the law would close the last remaining abortion facility in that state. http://www.lifenews.com/2014/08/14/this-secret-abortion-doctor-is-the-only-reason-mississippi-is-not-abortion-free/
