Country Music Singer Gretchen Wilson: If Only Animal Rights Activists Saved Unborn Babies
Country music singer Gretchen Wilson is performing at SeaWorld and animal rights activists are giving her grief on twitter for the upcoming performance, saying she is somehow contributing to the animal entertainment arena’s alleged mistreatment of animals.
After taking shots on Twitter, Wilson fired back, saying, “I did my research…can’t wait to see my FANS on Saturday! Wouldn’t it be nice if this much effort could go into saving unborn babies?” http://www.lifenews.com/2014/02/12/country-music-singer-gretchen-wilson-if-only-animal-rights-activists-saved-unborn-babies/
Democrat Legislator: A Colic, Crying Baby is a Good Reason for an Abortion
The Iowa House of Representatives passed a bill recently to ban telemed abortions – abortions done with the dangerous RU 486 drug where the abortion clinic prevents a woman from seeing the doctor in person.
During the debate on the pro-life measure, one Democratic legislator suggested that a colic, crying baby is a good reason for an abortion. Pro-choice? No, here’s the definition of abortion on demand. http://www.lifenews.com/2014/02/12/democrat-legislator-a-colic-crying-baby-is-a-good-reason-for-an-abortion/
Woman Convicted Who Killed Pregnant Mom, Cut Unborn Baby From Her Womb
Julie Corey, of Massachusetts, killed 23-year-old Darlene Haynes, who was in the eighth month of her pregnancy, and stole her baby. Now she’s been convicted.
In 2009, Haynes’ body was found when her landlord responded to complaints from neighbors. He found her body wrapped in a blanket and shoved in a closet of her apartment. Worcester Police Sgt. Kerry Hazelhurst told reporters that the baby girl appeared to be in “fairly good health” upon discovery. http://www.lifenews.com/2014/02/12/woman-convicted-who-killed-pregnant-mom-cut-unborn-baby-from-her-womb/
Wendy Davis Now Backs Late-Term Abortion Ban, But Only if Disabled Babies Can be Killed
The Wendy Davis apology tour continues. As she campaigns across Texas an comes to the realization that her defense of abortions up to the day of birth is massively out of touch with the values of Texas voters, Davis is taking steps to moderate her radical abortion position.
Although some are hailing her new position on a late-term abortion ban as a full flip-flop on the issue, it’s actually not. Davis still supports late-term abortions to kill disabled babies. http://www.lifenews.com/2014/02/12/wendy-davis-now-backs-late-term-abortion-ban-but-only-if-disabled-babies-can-be-killed/
Andrew Cuomo on Attacking Pro-Lifers: “I Wasn’t Saying Anyone Should Leave the State”
New York Governor Andrew Cuomo is backtracking after facing national criticism and calls to resign over his comments that pro-life people “have no place”in the state.
In January, Cuomo eventually said it’s “fine” if pro-life people live in New York and he blamed his insensitive comments on the New York City media. Now he’s walking back his comments even further, saying his position is the “exact opposite” of telling pro-lifers to leave. http://www.lifenews.com/2014/02/12/andrew-cuomo-on-attacking-pro-lifers-i-wasnt-saying-anyone-should-leave-the-state/
Unborn Babies Feel Anger and Joy, Psychotherapist’s Study Says
They are happy. They are angry. They are fearful. They like music. And already, they like sweet treats. http://www.lifenews.com/2014/02/12/unborn-babies-feel-anger-and-joy-psychotherapists-study-says/
While Abortions Decline, Use of RU 486 Abortion Drug Up 20% in Three Years
There were many profoundly encouraging results in Guttmacher’s latest abortion report for 2011– 1.06 million abortions, a drop of 13% since 2008 and 550,000 fewer abortions than the high water mark of 1.6 million in 1990, along with abortion rates and abortion ratios lower than they had been since the early days of Roe. http://www.lifenews.com/2014/02/12/while-abortions-decline-use-of-ru-486-abortion-drug-up-20-in-three-years/

That Abortions Have Been Done Throughout History Doesn’t Make Abortion Okay
I understand that forming a sound argument in favor of abortion is inherently difficult. Twitter’s 140-character constraint only compounds this difficulty.. http://www.lifenews.com/2014/02/12/that-abortions-have-been-done-throughout-history-doesnt-make-abortion-okay/
Rationing: British NHS Cancels Surgeries to Help Kids With Cerebral Palsy Walk

New York Times’ Promotes a Biased Assisted Suicide Agenda
