Fox News Host Blasts Gosnell Attorney: “How Can You Defend Him?”
Fox News host Megyn Kelly, who is pregnant, took Kermit Gosnell’s defense attorney to task Wednesday afternoon in an interview, saying the way he acted in the court room and in interviews afterwards makes it appear he thinks Gosnell is “a swell man.”

“We don’t tar the attorney with the sins of the client,” Kelly told Gosnell attorney Jack McMahon, but she scolded him for defending Gosnell after the trial, saying “he wasn’t upset when he was aborting these babies and laughing how one child, one baby was big enough to walk him to the bus stop.” http://www.lifenews.com/2013/05/22/fox-news-host-blasts-gosnell-attorney-how-can-you-defend-him/
Charges Filed Against Late-Term Abortion Nurse Who Overdosed Patients
Nebraska Attorney General Jon Bruning has filed charges against a nurse who works for late-term abortion practitioner LeRoy Carhart.

The charges follow the conviction of late-term abortion practitioner Kermit Gosnell, who killed babies in gruesome abortion-infanticide procedures and killed a woman in a failed abortion. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/05/22/charges-filed-against-late-term-abortion-nurse-who-overdosed-patients/
IRS Hasn’t Reprimanded a Single Staffer For Targeting Pro-Life Groups
Americans believe the targeting of pro-life groups and conservatives by the Internal Revenue service was a deliberate act. However, the agency hasn’t officially reprimanded a single staffer over it.
As Politico reports today: Lawmakers pressing for more heads to roll at the Internal Revenue Service are going to be disappointed. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/05/22/irs-hasnt-reprimanded-a-single-staffer-for-targeting-pro-life-groups/
Planned Parenthood Never Told Parents of Abortion on Raped 12-Year-Old
It wasn’t enough that liberal comedian Lizz Winstead decided the aftermath of the Oklahoma tornadoes was a good time to blame conservatives for the death and destruction it caused. Rhode Island Democratic Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse blamed Republicans as well.

While Americans were glued to their television sets to see pictures of the horrendous tornadoes and hear about children in storm shelters at their schools, Whitehouse was on the Senate floor attacking Republicans for denying so-called global warming. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/05/22/planned-parenthood-never-told-parents-of-abortion-on-raped-12-year-old/

Late-Term Abortion Staffer Facing Charges Routinely Broke State Laws
Lindsey Creekmore, a registered nurse working for late-term abortionist LeRoy Carhart in both his Bellevue, Nebraska, and Germantown, Maryland abortion clinics had had charges filed against her nursing license by Attorney General Jon Bruning who is accusing her of improperly drugging patients.

Creekmore, the only registered nurse in Carhart’s employment, is accused of incompetence and negligence for administering incorrect intravenous dosages of sedatives and a labor-inducing drug to 11 patients between January 2011 and March 2012. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/05/22/late-term-abortion-staffer-facing-charges-routinely-broke-state-laws/
IRS Hid Results of Probe of Targeting Pro-Lifers While Obama Campaigned
The Internal Revenue Service conducted an internal probe over its targeting of pro-life and conservative groups that ended well before the 2012 presidential election, but reports show the results were hidden.

The agency hasn’t officially reprimanded a single staffer over it. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/05/22/irs-hid-results-of-probe-of-targeting-pro-lifers-while-obama-campaigned/
IRS Audited 69% of Adoptive Families While Defending Planned Parenthood
The Internal Revenue Service targeted a pro-life Iowa group that acts in part as a watchdog over the Planned Parenthood abortion business.
It refused to grant nonprofit tax status to the Coalition for Life of Iowa unless it agreed to limit its “picketing” and “protesting” of Planned Parenthood.
Planned Parenthood Wrong, Gosnell Not Only One Killing Babies Born Alive
In response to efforts by the abortion industry to downplay the guilty verdict rendered against late-term abortion practitioner Kermit Gosnell, American Life League has released a new video report. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/05/22/planned-parenthood-wrong-gosnell-not-only-one-killing-babies-born-alive/

Gosnell Found Guilty, But Where is Planned Parenthood’s Verdict?
Guilty as charged. That was a Philadelphia jury’s verdict against abortionist Kermit Gosnell for multiple murders of babies in his Pennsylvania abortion facility. The jury also convicted Gosnell of hundreds of lesser criminal offenses. To avoid the death penalty, Gosnell agreed to serve the rest of his life in prison. This sordid chapter in the battle for the life on the unborn child is now over. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/05/22/gosnell-found-guilty-but-where-is-planned-parenthoods-verdict/

Liberal Writer: My Miscarriages Made Me Question Being Pro-Choice
Liberal Salon.com writer JJ Keith recently wrote a piece with the headline —“My miscarriages made me question being pro-choice: I was devastated when I lost my pregnancies, and I wondered: Does grieving this way mean abortion is wrong?”. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/05/22/liberal-writer-my-miscarriages-made-me-question-being-pro-choice/

Opposition to Obama Health Law Intensifies Ahead of Fall Exchange Rollout
Last week, the House of Representatives voted for the 37th time to repeal all or part of the Obama Health Care Law.

Michigan Pro-Lifers Pursue Ballot Measure to Stop Tax-Funded Abortions
