Abortion Doc Who Twists Off Babies Heads Killed Woman in Failed Abortion
The similarities between convicted abortion practitioner Kermit Gosnell and Houston-based abortion practitioner Douglas Karpen are striking.
Not only does Karpen kill babies born alive following abortions in a similar procedure that more closely resembles infanticide than abortion, but Karpen also killed a patient in a botched abortion. Gosnell was convicted of murder for severing the necks of just-born babies but he also found guilty of involuntary manslaughter in the death of patient Karnamaya Mongar, who died after a botched abortion. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/05/20/abortion-doc-who-twists-off-babies-heads-killed-woman-in-failed-abortion/
Abortion Doc Who Kept Remains of 35 Aborted Babies Loses License
The Maryland Board of Physicians has permanently revoked the license of abortionist Nicola I. Riley in a scathing 24-page order issued May 6, 2013, that prohibits her from ever again applying for licensure or reinstatement of her license.
In view of the fraudulent and deceptive nature of Dr. Riley s criminal conduct, her demonstrated lack of candor and integrity on her application to the Board and to Utah and Wyoming, and her demonstrated propensity for dishonesty and misrepresentation, Dr. Riley s unprofessional conduct is not remediable, stated the Board. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/05/20/abortion-doc-who-kept-remains-of-35-aborted-babies-loses-license/
Webcast Will Expose Abortionist Who Broke Babies Necks With His Hands
Americans love their reality TV, but when it comes to the reality of what happens in the country s abortion clinics, they tune out. While the clinics may not all be as filthy as Kermit Gosnell s, the reality of what happens there is still the same: babies born alive die painful and violent deaths.
No one really knows how many children are killed by barbarians like Gosnell and Douglas Karpen, a Texas abortionist so sadistic that employees say he broke the necks of newborns with his bare hands. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/05/20/webcast-will-expose-abortionist-who-broke-babies-necks-with-his-hands/
Daily Show Creator Lizz Winstead: Oklahoma Tornado Meant for Conservatives
As families and schoolchildren hunkered down in storm shelters to avoid a massive tornado today near Oklahoma City, a liberal comedian found time to use the disaster to attack conservatives.
The subtext of a tweet from Daily Show co-creator Lizz Winstead was clearly meant to insult the pro-life and family values people who live in the state of Oklahoma, one of the most Republican-oriented states in the nation. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/05/20/daily-show-creator-lizz-winstead-oklahoma-tornado-meant-for-conservatives/
Senator: Investigate Doc Who Twists Off Babies Necks in Abortions
A U.S. senator from Texas says a recently-exposed abortion practitioner who is the second Kermit Gosnell and twists the heads off of babies he brutally kills in late-term abortions needs to become a subject of investigation.
Senator Ted Cruz recently spoke on the Senate floor in support of Sen. Mike Lee s (R-UT) resolution to investigate abortion practices in the U.S. and ensure that clinics like Kermit Gosnell s have no place in our society. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/05/20/senator-investigate-doc-who-twists-off-babies-necks-in-abortions/
Conservative Activists Plan National Protests at IRS Offices Tuesday
With the scandal concerning the IRS and its targeting of pro-life and conservative groups growing, national conservative activists are planning nationwide rallies Tuesday at IRS offices across the country.

Obama s Top Lawyers Knew About IRS Targeting Pro-Life Groups in April
New reports today indicate President Barack Obama s top attorney knew in April that the Internal Revenue Service was targeting pro-life and conservative groups. The reports show Obama s top lawyer was notified in April that the Treasury Department s inspector general had finished an audit of the IRS over the allegations.
As The Hill reports: http://www.lifenews.com/2013/05/20/obamas-top-lawyers-knew-about-irs-targeting-pro-life-groups-in-april/

NARAL Opposes Bill Banning Abortions After 20 Weeks Nationwide
