Vatican Chief Justice: Denying Communion to Nancy Pelosi “Makes Perfect Sense”
Catholics across the United States have for years wondered if and when pro-abortion “Catholics” like Nancy Pelosi or John Kerry would be told not to present themselves for Communion because they are out of step with Catholic Church teachings on the sanctity of human life.

Cardinal Raymond Burke, the former archbishop of St. Louis and now the chief justice at the Vatican’s highest court saying prohibiting Pelosi and Kerry from receiving Communion”makes perfect sense,” according to a new interview Burke gave to EWTN. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/12/16/vatican-chief-justice-denying-communion-to-nancy-pelosi-makes-perfect-sense/

Twin Baby Girls Saved From Abortions Thanks to Heroic Sidewalk Counselors
Sherry Pierce was waiting with a team of sidewalk counselors outside a Planned Parenthood abortion clinic wondering if today would be the day she and her team would be able to offer women advise and counsel that would help them and save an unborn child from abortion.

Piece says a mother considering an abortion was about to go ahead with the decision but decided to let her child live after they spoke with her. But what came next surprised Sherry: they saved not one baby but two! http://www.lifenews.com/2013/12/16/twin-baby-girls-saved-from-abortions-thanks-to-heroic-sidewalk-counselors/

Kermit Gosnell Sentenced to 30 Years for Running Pill Mill at His Abortion Clinic
Kermit Gosnell was the gruesome abortion practitioner who was convicted on multiple counts of first-degree murder of killing babies who were born alive after abortion.

When Gosnell’s misdeeds first came to light, the DEA was already probing Gosnell for allegedly illegally selling prescription drugs. They called his abortion facility a “pill mill” by day and an “abortion mill” by night. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/12/16/kermit-gosnell-sentenced-to-30-years-for-running-pill-mill-at-his-abortion-clinic/

Breast Cancer Survivor Goes Without Insurance Thanks to Obamacare Snafus
Not only have Obamacare caused millions of Americans to lose their health insurance, it is depriving people of insurance who need to sign up for insurance plans under the Obamacare exchanges but can’t because of the massive problems with the system.

Breast cancer survivor Lynn Beckler is one such victim of that problem — and she is now going on 60 days of no insurance thanks to the Obamacare web site not being able to process her request properly. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/12/16/breast-cancer-survivor-goes-without-insurance-thanks-to-obamacare-snafus/



Beautiful Coca Cola Ad Highlights the Gift of Life, Joys of Parenthood
A new television commercial Coca Cola has produced for its new Coke Life product is drawing rave reviews from pro-life people because it celebrates the gift of life and the joys of parenthood.

The ad shows a young couple with a positive pregnancy test and tracks them through the growth of their baby into toddlerhood and the ups and downs and crazy fun of having a baby. The ad concludes with a second positive pregnancy test and the father, drinking a Coke, initially looking outraged and quickly his surprise turns into sheer joy. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/12/16/beautiful-coca-cola-ad-highlights-the-gift-of-life-joys-of-parenthood/

Incompatible With Life? Baby Clodagh Lived for 33 Days and Every Day Was Precious
All too often parents are told that their babies are “incompatible with life” and pushed towards abortion. Derbhille McGill and her husband Darren were told their baby would not live after birth, but the doctors were wrong. Baby Clodagh lived for 33 days.

“She was never, ever left on her own. One of us was always with her. She brought nothing but joy, nothing but love,” says Derbhille in a new video sharing the life of Clodagh and offering hope and healing to parents facing a similar situation. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/12/16/incompatible-with-life-baby-clodagh-lived-for-33-days-and-every-day-was-precious/

Miracle Healing of Unborn Child Brings Pope Paul VI Closer to Sainthood
Pope Paul VI is reportedly close to achieving sainthood within the Catholic Church because of a miracle involving the healing of an unborn child that officials say can’t otherwise be explained.

The former leader of the Catholic Church is coming one step closer to beatification as the Medical Commission of the Congregation for the Causes of Saints says the healing can’t be described as anything short of a divine miracle of God working through him. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/12/16/miracle-healing-of-unborn-child-brings-pope-paul-vi-closer-to-sainthood/

Nonhuman Rights Project Wants Rights for Animals, But What About Unborn Babies
