Wendy Davis Makes Over $1 Million Filibustering for Late-Term Abortions
How much money can a state Senator from Texas make for her campaign account by filibustering against a bill to ban late-term abortions?

“Texas state Senator Wendy Davis has reaped nearly $1 million in political donations since she staged a nearly 11-hour filibuster that ultimately failed to stop the Texas legislature approving stringent new restrictions on abortion in the state, her office said on Monday,” according to Reuters. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/07/16/wendy-davis-makes-over-1-million-filibustering-for-late-term-abortions/
Former Gosnell Abortion Worker is Finding God, Becoming Pro-Life
The former employee of the late-term abortion clinic Kermit Gosnell ran saw the worst of the worst in the abortion industry.

From dilapidated conditions, to late-term abortions and from infanticide of babies born alive to the killing and injuring of patients, the employees at the Philadelphia-based abortion business likely have a significant amount of emotional distress and mental and spiritual health issues they are dealing with now. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/07/16/former-gosnell-abortion-worker-is-finding-god-becoming-pro-life/
Students Embrace “BroChoice,” Want Abortions Legal for Sex Without Consequences
A new video shows college students embracing the pro-abortion “BroChoice” campaign that says abortion should remain legal so men can enjoy sex without consequences like taking care of a baby or paying child support.
Last week, pro-abortion blogger Ben Sherman explained the #brochoice movement, saying that if abortion isn’t readily accessible, especially in his state of Texas, men’s sex lives are at stake. It was the ultimate form of male-chauvinism, yet NARAL and other pro-abortion women’s groups took to Twitter in support of the campaign. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/07/16/students-embrace-brochoice-want-abortions-legal-for-sex-without-consequences/
Man Defends Daughter’s Sign: “Jesus Isn’t a D—, Keep Him Out of My Vagina”
Last week, during the pro-abortion protests leading up to the Texas vote on the late-term abortion ban, the Internet was shocked to see a young girl hold a sign saying “Jesus Isn’t a D—, Keep Him Out of May Vagina.”

A man on Twitter is accepting responsibility for the sign, saying his young daughter made it and had her friend hold it. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/07/16/man-defends-daughters-sign-jesus-isnt-a-d-keep-him-out-of-my-vagina/


Pro-Abortion Texas Man With “No Rape Babies” Sign Defends Holding It
The pro-abortion activist who held a sign saying “No Rape Babies” during the protests leading up to the Texas late-term abortion ban has no remorse over holding the sign.

Billy Joe Cain is an Austin resident who is a video game producer and he is the same man whose daughter made a sign saying, “Jesus Isn’t a D—, Keep Him Out of May Vagina.”

“No Rape Babies:” Abortion Activist’s Sign Draws Pro-Life Outrage
There was no shortage of offensive signs carried last week by abortion activists mobbing the Texas legislature to oppose the bill to ban late-term abortions after 20 weeks of pregnancy.
One sign that received significant negative attention this weekend read, “No rape babies.”
Texas Abortionist Lester Minto Plans to Flout New Law, Do Illegal Abortions
Abortionist Lester Minto is defiant concerning new safety standards passed by the Texas Legislature last week, especially concerning the new standards for dispensing abortion pills. He operates Reproductive Services, an abortion clinic in the Rio Grand Valley community of Harlingen that does 1,500-2,000 abortion per year, according to a New York Times story published on July 13, 2013.
If forced to comply with the new law, Minto says he is willing to seek other means of continuing to provide abortions, even if his substandard clinic must close. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/07/16/texas-abortionist-lester-minto-plans-to-flout-new-law-do-illegal-abortions/
Britain Will Ditch Liverpool Care Pathway, Backdoor to Euthanasia
These are the consequence of centralizing healthcare under bureaucratic control. Deprofessionalization. Medicine practiced by the numbers. The most weak and vulnerable victimized. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/07/16/britain-will-ditch-liverpool-care-pathway-backdoor-to-euthanasia/

Trayvon Martin’s Death and the NAACP’s “Blaxploitation” of the “Right to Life”
Trayvon’s exploited and tragic death is not about race but about bolstering a false ideology and justifying misdirected violent behavior. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/07/16/trayvon-martins-death-and-the-naacps-blaxploitation-of-the-right-to-life/

Newsboys to Headline Third Terri Schiavo Life & Hope Concert
The Terri Schiavo Life & Hope Network is delighted to announce that Christian music artists, Newsboys will headline the 3rd Terri Schiavo Life & Hope Concert, October 11, 2013, at the beautiful Taft Theatre in downtown Cincinnati. Showtime 7:00 p.m. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/07/16/newsboys-to-headline-third-terri-schiavo-life-hope-concert/

Ireland Senate Approves Bill to Legalize Abortions in Second Stage Vote
The Irish Senate is picking up where the Dail left off — by approving a bill to legalize abortions in the Second Stage vote today. The abortion bill carried on a 41-15 vote. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/07/16/ireland-senate-approves-bill-to-legalize-abortions-in-second-stage-vote/
Double Euthanasia: Belgian Couple Kill Themselves After 70 Years Together
This is the third example of which I am aware of “double” euthanasia deaths in Belgium. The first were of an elderly couple. The second of disabled twins, who were going blind. And now the third, another elderly couple. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/07/16/double-euthanasia-belgian-couple-kill-themselves-after-70-years-together/

New Study Finds “Strong” Link Between Abortion and Premature Birth
A new study found a “strong independent relationship” between a history of abortion and the risk of a subsequent preterm birth. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/07/16/new-study-finds-strong-link-between-abortion-and-premature-birth/
Abortion and Down Syndrome: Real Friends Don’t Count Chromosomes
According to the Washington Times, there was a couple planning to abort their child diagnosed with Down syndrome. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/07/16/abortion-and-down-syndrome-real-friends-dont-count-chromosomes/
NHS Hospitals Kill Thousands of Patients Who Could Have Lived With Proper Care
The NHS is melting down. As I have repeated posted about here, the Liverpool Care Pathway–intended to prevent patients from dying in agony–became instead a door to imposed back door euthanasia. So much easier to put patients into a coma and dehydrate them than provide individualized care. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/07/16/nhs-hospitals-kills-thousands-of-patients-who-could-have-lived-with-proper-care/
Pro-Abortion Side Makes False Statements About Roe v. Wade, Women’s Health
It’s been hard to miss the abortion issue in the news lately. Pro-life protections have been introduced and, in some cases, passed in Texas, North Carolina, Ohio, Wisconsin, and here in Pennsylvania, too. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/07/16/pro-abortion-side-makes-false-statements-about-roe-v-wade-womens-health/
Black Students to Visit Historically Black Colleges to Pray to End Abortion
My heart exploded with joy as Atlanta minister Corey Lee told me of his plans to take a team of 30 minority college students across the country to pray at historically black universities and churches. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/07/16/black-students-to-visit-historically-black-colleges-to-pray-to-end-abortion/
California Voters Strongly Oppose Allowing Nurses to Do Abortions
Forty years ago, AT&T changed the face of long-distance calling with its tremendously successful “Reach Out and Touch Someone” advertising campaign. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/07/16/california-voters-strongly-oppose-allowing-nurses-to-do-abortions/
Pro-Life Victory: Philippines Supreme Court Suspends RH Law Implementation
Pro-life advocates in the Philippines received some much needed good news on Tuesday in the fight against the anti-life Reproductive Health (RH) Law. The Supreme Court voted 8-7 to suspend implementation of the law “until further orders” from the Court. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/07/16/pro-life-victory-philippines-supreme-court-suspends-rh-law-implementation/
Debating Abortion 101: The Best Way to Expose Logical Fallacies
In my last post I talked about something I’ve been noticing recently, that people, especially pro-life nerds like me, are tempted to talk about logical fallacies all the time in conversation. There are several dangers to this. I’ve argued already that the first danger is accusing somebody of a logical fallacy when they didn’t actually commit one. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/07/16/debating-abortion-101-the-best-way-to-expose-logical-fallacies/
