A Mother’s Love: Pictures Show Premature Baby’s Amazing First Year Progress
A video and pictures of an amazing baby with a fantastic story are circulating the Internet today. In the pictures and video, Benjamin Scot Miller of Columbus, Ohio depicts the transformation of baby born extremely premature through his first year of life.
Miller documented his son’s first days in the neonatal intensive care and how he progressed enough to finally go home and celebrate his first birthday.
Man Attacks, Threatens to Shoot Pro-Life Activist Outside Abortion Clinic
An angry man jumped out of his vehicle and threatened to shoot pro-life activist Mark Gietzen, who had offered to help him as he left a woman for an abortion at the South Wind Women’s Center abortion clinic, located inside a building where George Tiller once operated in Wichita, Kansas.
Gietzen, Director of the Kansas Coalition for Life, was setting up a pro-life display early on Thursday, November 21, when the man drove into the abortion clinic parking lot and dropped off a woman. As he left, Gietzen offered him pro-life literature and urged the man to go back and bring the mother of his baby out of the clinic. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/11/22/man-attacks-threatens-to-shoot-pro-life-activist-outside-abortion-clinic/
Student From Brazil Offers Her Virginity for Sale, Again
A young woman who attempted to auction off her virginity is attempting to auction it off again.
Catarina Migliorini, a Brazilian woman who reportedly sold her virginity for $780,000 on an Australian website seeking virgins, failed to finalize the deal and receive the money. Migliorini has received widespread publicity and modeling contracts — including a spread in Brazil’s version of Playboy magazine. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/11/22/student-from-brazil-offers-her-virginity-for-sale-again/
I Was Scared About Having a Baby With Down Syndrome, Now I Love Him More Every Day
Wow. Completely ambushed at 20,000 feet. That’s what just happened to me.
I am reading “Good and Perfect Gift” by Amy Julia Becker and read about how they feared exactly what I am struggling with now. What if my baby is one of the horrible stories that people don’t try to tell, but still get around? http://www.lifenews.com/2013/11/22/i-was-scared-about-having-a-baby-with-down-syndrome-now-i-love-him-more-every-day/
 Finally... moral, pro-life fiction that opens hearts and minds! “This is what I was hoping would begin to spring from the Indie World. No way would NYC Corporate Publishing ever allow something with this worldview through.” - a reader. |
Examining JFK: Was John F. Kennedy Pro-Life on Abortion?
On the fiftieth anniversary of his death it is hard to avoid stories about John F. Kennedy (JFK) so I thought I would add another one. Most stories describe JFK as a devout Catholic, though most stories also highlight the former president’s extra-marital activities.
The truth is during John F. Kennedy’s lifetime abortion was simply not the hot button issue it is today so there is little found that could point in one direction or another. One book, JFK, Conservative by Ira Stroll did find this quote: http://www.lifenews.com/2013/11/22/examining-jfk-was-john-f-kennedy-pro-life-on-abortion/
Obamacare Exchange Director Won’t Condemn Racy “Got Insurance?” Ads
The head of the Obamacare exchange in Colorado is refusing to condemn the new racy campaign called “Got Insurance” — released last week with advertisements that are intended to tout the free birth control component of the Obamacare health care plan.
he ads are bathed in sexual overtones, with one ad having a woman declare: “Let’s Hope He’s as Easy as This Free Birth Control.” Another ad has a young woman hoping to score with popular actor Ryan Gosling now that she has her own free birth control. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/11/22/obamacare-exchange-director-wont-condemn-racy-got-insurance-ads/

27 States Have Done Nothing to Stop Tax-Funded Abortions in Obamacare
Obamacare will entangle taxpayer funds in abortion coverage offered on state and federal exchanges and could force many Americans to unwittingly pay a surcharge for elective abortion.
This system could potentially place many Americans in an unwanted and unnecessary dilemma, forced to choose between violating their values by directly subsidizing abortion coverage or forfeiting the health care coverage that most closely meets their families’ unique needs. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/11/22/27-states-have-done-nothing-to-stop-tax-funded-abortions-in-obamacare/

Family’s Lawsuit Against Nursing Home to Starve Mother to Death Heads to Court

Responding to the “Pro-Choice” Argument: “You’re a Man You Can’t Get Pregnant”

Militant Pro-Abortion Icon Wendy Davis Not Militant Enough for Some
Even when the insincerity of pro-abortion politicians is transparent, for them even to pretend to believe that we’d be better off without aborting any children is going to incur the wrath of those who believe there are never enough abortions and to suggest otherwise is verboten. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/11/22/militant-pro-abortion-icon-wendy-davis-not-militant-enough-for-some/
