Salon Article Says Unborn Baby is A Life Worth Sacrificing
A new article from a writer at the liberal online publication Salon is one of the most extreme pro-abortion diatribes ever written. It is so in-your-face that it is already sending shockwaves through the Internet just hours after its publication.

The content of the article, some of which is excerpted below, needs no words to show how shocking the content is from Mary Elizabeth Williams, who starts her piece saying, So what if abortion ends a life? http://www.lifenews.com/2013/01/23/shock-salon-article-says-baby-is-a-life-worth-sacrificing/

Isn t Killing 55 Million Babies Enough? Time for Roe to Go
Monday marked the inauguration of President Obama to a second term as the most pro-abortion president in our nation s history. He is unyieldingly committed to upholding Roe v Wade, the Supreme Court decision ushering in the age of abortion.

That the inauguration was held on the annual day of remembrance of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. is deeply ironic. While King led a nation changing civil rights movement, the longest running civil rights movement in our nation s history is the pro-life movement. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/01/23/isnt-killing-55-million-babies-enough-time-for-roe-to-go/

Four Doctors: We re Proud to Be Doing Third-Trimester Abortions
This is one of those stories where it helps to take a deep breath and remember that because of the lies surrounding abortion, many people simply don t realize what they are defending. Abortion supporters think they are on a moral crusade, one which they would say is about defending women s rights.

That being said, however, sometimes the gap between good intentions and actions is harder to understand. Such is the case when artists set out to tell a more human story about abortion, and end up leaving out crucial information that any journalist would naturally find important. This is pretty much the definition of propaganda. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/01/23/four-doctors-were-proud-to-be-doing-third-trimester-abortions/

Bishop Says Finding Body of Aborted Baby in Sink Made Him Pro-Life
Millions of Americans have their own stories about how they arrived at the pro-life position on abortion, but Archbishop Samuel J. Aquila of Denver has a unique one. He experienced the reality of abortion in a way most people never have.

In a new interview with the National Catholic Register, he talked about the experience of seeing the body of a baby who had been victimized by abortion in a sink. It left such an indelible impression on him that he said he will forever be pro-life. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/01/23/bishop-says-finding-body-of-aborted-baby-in-sink-made-him-pro-life/



Women Share Stories of How Abortion Took a Toll on Their Lives
Women who are victims of abortion spoke from the heart about their private experiences at a bipartisan press conference marking the 40th year since the Roe v. Wade decision made abortion legal and paved the way for 55 million abortions.

The event was jointly held by Representatives Chris Smith (R-NJ) and Dan Lipinski (D-IL), Co-Chairs of Congressional Pro-life Caucus, and Diane Black (R-TN). http://www.lifenews.com/2013/01/23/women-share-stories-of-how-abortion-took-a-toll-on-their-lives/

Nurse Tells of Babies Left to Die After Failed Abortions
Jill Stanek is considered by many to be the most influential pro-life blogger on the internet. After a career in nursing, where she discovered live birth abortions being performed at her hospital, she became an outspoken advocate for the pro-life cause. She helped to pass the Born Alive Infant Protection Act, even being thanked by President George Bush at the signing, and continues to write and speak out about pro-life issues.

NARAL s Pro-Abortion Science Fail: A Zygote is Not a Baby
The pro-abortion group NARAL tweeted out pro-abortion statements from members and supporters yesterday to make the 40th anniversary of the Roe v. Wade decision allowing virtually unlimited abortions.

In its haste to celebrate abortion, NARAL tripped up over basic junior high level science. The pro-abortion group retweeted a tweet with the message: I m pro-choice because I understand that a zygote is not a baby. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/01/23/narals-pro-abortion-science-fail-a-zygote-is-not-a-baby/

Planned Parenthood, Some Pro-Choicers Are Really Pro-Abortion
Here s something sure to be familiar for many in the pro-life movement. Since I began my pro-life activism, I ve often been chided by family members and friends for using the term pro-abortion. No one is really pro-abortion, they argue, that s why we call ourselves pro-choice. This has never seen like much of an argument, rather, it comes across as a refusal to acknowledge the truth out of fear. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/01/23/planned-parenthood-some-pro-choicers-are-really-pro-abortion/

Democrats May Not Have Enough Votes to End Filibuster
The number two Democrat in the Senate today admitted Democrats may not have enough votes to end the filibuster. Leading pro-life groups have been lobbying members of the Senate to resist ending it, saying the pro-abortion agenda of President Barack Obama and Democrats could proceed unmitigated if that happens. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/01/23/democrats-may-not-have-enough-votes-to-end-filibuster/

China Renews Commitment to One-Child Forced Abortion Policy
Despite some reports claiming China may relax or even do away with its brutal one-child policy, that results in forced abortions, coercive sterilizations and other human rights abuses, Chinese officials are renewing its commitment to it. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/01/23/china-renews-commitment-to-one-child-forced-abortion-policy/

Snipping Spinal Cords: This is the Naked Evil of Abortion
