15-Year-Old Pregnant Girl Held in Abortion Clinic Against Her Will Rescued by Police
A teenager went through a harrowing ordeal at an abortion clinic on May 16, according to well-known pro-life activist Abby Johnson.

According to status updates posted on Facebook, Johnson, who told the story of her pro-life conversion from Planned Parenthood director to dedicated pro-lifer in her bestselling book Unplanned, received an emergency phone call from the mother of a pregnant fifteen-year-old she had been counseling. http://www.lifenews.com/2014/05/19/15-year-old-pregnant-girl-held-in-abortion-clinic-against-her-will-rescued-by-police/

She Took the Abortion Pill and Thought She Killed Her Baby, Then This Happened
It’s not commonly known that the RU 486 abortion drug process can be reversed if a mother changes her mind about the abortion in time.

However, a protocol has already been developed for helping women who changed their minds about going through with a multi-day second-trimester abortion after it’s been started. The process, which involves reversing a second trimester abortions by removing the laminaria, can be used as long as the abortion practitioner has not yet done the lethal injection that destroys the life of the unborn baby. http://www.lifenews.com/2014/05/18/she-took-the-abortion-pill-and-thought-she-killed-her-baby-then-this-happened/

Conjoined Twins Sharing One Head Already Exhibiting Two Different Personalities
LifeNews has profiled the recent birth of conjoined twins who share one head. Although media reports call them the “baby with two faces” the twins are technically two distinct and different people.

Renee Young and Simon Howie of Sydney said that a routine ultrasound found problems with their baby’s development and that the twins they were expecting were actually conjoined twins with a rare medical condition. The twins has a condition known as diprosopus, or craniofacial duplication, a condition whereby parts or all of the face are duplicated on the head. It is so rare, according to a report on the couple and their babies, that just 35 cases have been recorded in humans and no one is alive today who has it. http://www.lifenews.com/2014/05/19/conjoined-twins-sharing-one-head-already-exhibiting-two-different-personalities/

An Open Letter to the Vandal Who Destroyed Our Pro-Life Signs
Within the last week or so, Oregon Right to Life posted 17 signs alongside Interstate 5, on private properties of pro-life landowners. Many of them (pictured) read: “Abortion: a Lifetime of Regret.”

We started to receive word Friday that an unknown number of them had been vandalized with the words, “It’s OK” pasted over it. Today, a south-traveling supporter stopped and took pictures of three of the vandalized signs. http://www.lifenews.com/2014/05/19/an-open-letter-to-the-vandal-who-destroyed-our-pro-life-signs/

Gosnell Worker Who Said Baby “Jumped” When She Snipped Her Neck in Abortion Sentenced to Prison
A worker at Kermit Gosnell’s late-term abortion clinic will head to prison for just two and a half years and perhaps longer, as she participated in the “snipping” abortion procedures that were tantamount to infanticide.

During the Gosnell trial, Lynda Williams testified she saw a baby “jump” when she snipped her neck in an abortion. She testified that it was “standard procedure” to snip the necks of any babies that were delivered by patients before the abortion procedure due to labor-inducing drugs. http://www.lifenews.com/2014/05/19/gosnell-worker-who-said-baby-jumped-when-she-snipped-her-neck-in-abortion-sentened-to-prison/

Think Obamacare Has Been Bad So Far? The Worst is Yet to Come
While critical access to top health care providers is already being severely restricted in the individual health insurance plans on the Obamacare exchanges, there is reason to believe that when the exchanges are expanded to employees of all businesses, many employers will end their present coverage and force their workers into the constricted exchange plans, two May New York Times pieces demonstrate. http://www.lifenews.com/2014/05/19/think-obamacare-has-been-bad-so-far-the-worst-is-yet-to-come/
