Conjoined Twins Doing Great After Separation Surgery, Almost Became Abortion Victims
Emmett and Owen Ezell were born in August in Dallas, Texas but they were very much unlike most sets of twins. They were are identical twins[1] joined in utero — a rare phenomenon that happens in as many as 1 in 200,000 births.

About half of such twins are stillborn, but Owen and Emmett survived not only the birthing process — their mother rejected abortion. http://www.lifenews.com/2014/04/16/conjoined-twins-doing-great-after-separation-surgery-almost-became-abortion-victims/

Buffett Foundation Tied to Clinic That Killed Woman in Botched Abortion
Operation Rescue has uncovered links between the Cleveland abortion clinic, Preterm, where a 22-year old African-American woman suffered a fatal abortion last month, and a foundation managed by the Warren Buffett family. This connection raises concerns that third-world-style abortion practices are being taught to hospital residents that will further endanger the lives of poor urban women of color.

On March 21, 2014, Lakisha Wilson was “not breathing at all” when she was transported by ambulance to the University Hospital Chase Medical Center where she was pronounced dead after suffering late-term abortion complications at Preterm. http://www.lifenews.com/2014/04/16/buffett-foundation-tied-to-cleveland-clinic-that-killed-woman-in-botched-abortion/

Teen Mom Asphyxiated Her Newborn Baby to Death, Put Infant in Her Shopping Bag
Last year, Tiona Rodriguez and Francis Estevez, both 17, were stopped for suspected shoplifting and a security guard found the baby’s body inside a bag. After questioning, Rodriguez told police officers that she had suffered a miscarriage the day before and did not know what to do.

Reports at the time indicated the dead newborn child found in her Victoria’s Secret bag was born alive and then likely asphyxiated to death. An autopsy done on the infant showed the baby was born alive at full term and it revealed that Rodriguez’s baby boy was actually born alive at full term and could have died of asphyxiation. http://www.lifenews.com/2014/04/16/teen-girl-asphyxiated-newborn-baby-to-death-put-infant-in-her-shopping-bag/

Dad’s Heartbreaking Letter After Miscarriage Features Picture of Baby’s Hands Touching His Fingers

Davis opposed the legislation that prohibited abortion after five months based on the scientific evidence that preborn babies are capable of experiencing pain during an abortion. http://www.lifenews.com/2014/04/16/meet-the-1-5-pound-26-week-preemie-who-took-on-pro-abortion-wendy-davis-and-won/



Report Confirms Obamacare Restricts Access to Life-Saving Medical Care
A Congressional Budget Office (CBO) report now documents that Obamacare exchange plans, while often cheaper, are restricting access to life-saving medical care.

According to the CBO’s recently released “Updated Estimates of the Effects of the Insurance Coverage Provisions of the Affordable Care Act, April 2014,” Obamacare’s insurance provisions will cost $104 billion less than projected over the next decade. However, these savings will come at tremendous cost. http://www.lifenews.com/2014/04/16/report-confirms-obamacare-restricts-access-to-life-saving-medical-care/

Most Late-Term Abortions are Not Done for Medical Reasons
