Abortionist Gets Away With Murder: No Punishment for Botched 33-Week Abortion
Abortion practitioner LeRoy Carhart is not facing charges from county officials for killing a woman in a botched 33-week abortion. Now, the state medical board has clear Carhart as well, even though he is responsible for killing Jennifer Morbelli.

The official death certificate for Jennifer Morbelli confirms the young woman died on February 7, 2013, from complications to a 33-week abortion done by late-term abortion practitioner LeRoy Carhart. But the Maryland county police closed their investigation Monday without filing criminal charges. The medical examiner s office confirmed a botched 33-week abortion killed the young woman. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/05/27/abortionist-gets-away-with-murder-no-punishment-for-botched-33-week-abortion/

Miracle Baby Born Amid Oklahoma Tornado Devastation, God Was With Them
The Oklahoma tornadoes last week took people s lives and caused massive destruction that will undoubtedly cost billions to repair. But amid the devastation and destruction was the birth of a miracle baby.

She said, I was five centimeters already and having contractions. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/05/27/miracle-baby-born-amid-oklahoma-tornado-devastation-god-was-with-them/

Newborn Baby Rescued From Sewage Pipe, Neighbors Hear Crying
Firefighters in an eastern Chinese province rescued a an apparently-abandoned newborn infant from a sewage pipe after neighbors reported hearing crying. Officials in China s Zhejiang Province rescued the infant on Saturday afternoon.

Reports from Chinese media indicated the baby was found in the toilet sewage pipe in a residential building in the city of Jinhua after residents on the fourth floor called the fire department with reports of a baby crying. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/05/27/newborn-baby-rescued-from-sewage-pipe-neighbors-hear-crying/

They Could Have Been Aborted, But Music Therapy Helps Premature Infants
Premature infants who, if in utero, could be legally aborted are the recipients of a new music therapy designed to engage their sense of hearing at a time when they are so fragile that they often cannot even be held or caressed by their parents. A recent report from the Associated Press suggests that, like all other humans, preemies can be soothed by gentle music, especially when they are serenaded live in their hospital rooms. According to the article:

Recent studies and anecdotal reports suggest the vibrations and soothing rhythms of music, especially performed live in the hospital, might benefit preemies and other sick babies. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/05/27/they-could-have-been-aborted-but-music-therapy-helps-premature-infants/



More Than 1,200 Babies Have Died Following Failed Abortions in America
Be confident to share this graphic it s accurate and easily defensible.

Thousands of children have survived abortions in the forty years following the national legalization of abortion in 1973. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/05/27/more-than-1200-babies-have-died-following-failed-abortions-in-america/

Scarlett Johansson, Reese Witherspoon Considered for Hillary Clinton Movie
Democrats and abortion advocacy groups are preparing now for a potential 2016 presidential bid by pro-abortion former Secretary of State and senator Hillary Clinton. In an effort to pump up her potential candidacy, a new movie Rodham is being made to tout her biography.

Two Hollywood powerhouses are reportedly being considered to play Hillary and focus on her younger years. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/05/27/scarlett-johansson-reese-witherspoon-considered-for-hillary-clinton-movie/

Activists New International Campaign: Abortion Drug Saves Lives
Abortion groups plan to get the abortion-causing drug misoprostol widely used for post-partum bleeding has run into roadblocks. People in the targeted areas know what they re up to, and the message that misoprostol saves lives is hyperbole intended to influence policymakers. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/05/27/activists-new-international-campaign-abortion-drug-saves-lives/

Planned Parenthood Launches Juvenile Attack on Ken Cuccinelli

Is Society Moving Towards Assisted Suicide for Anyone for Any Reason?
Society s acceptance of assisted suicide s ideology eventually will lead, I predict, to a right to help being made dead for any adult with more than a transitory desire to die and for any reason. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/05/27/is-society-moving-towards-assisted-suicide-for-anyone-for-any-reason/
