Some People on Twitter Wish Kate and William’s Royal Baby Had Been Aborted
While most people around the world celebrated the birth of a new baby to the royal parents in England, haters on Twitter responded with the usual lack of class.

Kate Middleton and Prince William issued a statement thanking well-wishers.

NBA Player J.J. Reddick Had Written Contract to Pay for Girlfriend’s Abortion
Reports surfaced today that NBA player J.J. Redick and his then-pregnant ex-girlfriend, model Vanessa Lopez, had an odd legal contract that called for her to have an abortion. Reddick would then pay her to pretend to stay in a relationship.

It was drafted by the Orlando Magic in the 2006 NBA Draft and now plays for the Los Angeles Clippers after spending time with the Milwaukee Bucks. On June 26, 2010, Redick married longtime girlfriend Chelsea Kilgore. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/07/23/nba-player-j-j-reddick-had-written-contract-to-pay-for-girlfriends-abortion/
MSNBC Host: Life Begins When Parents Say it Does, Not Based on Science
MSNBC host Melissa Harris Perry drew negative reactions from people this past weekend when she wore tampon earrings during a broadcast, telling viewers they were made especially for her to wear to demonstrate her opposition to the ban on late-term abortions in Texas that Governor Rick Perry signed.
Now, Harris Perry is at it again — this time telling viewers that human life doesn’t begin at conception. Instead, it begins, the MSNBC host contends, when the parents think it begins — not when science says it does. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/07/23/msnbc-host-life-begins-when-parents-say-it-does-not-based-on-science/
Texas Abortion Business to Close Down in 90 Days After New Late-Term Ban
The new pro-life law Governor Rick Perry signed into law to ban abortions after 20 weeks has resulted in shutting down another abortion business.

The law bans abortions after 20 weeks and holds abortion clinics accountable by making them meet basic health and safety standards that have closed facilities in other states that are unable to comply. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/07/23/texas-abortion-business-to-close-down-in-90-days-after-new-late-term-ban/


Networks Give Wendy Davis Three Times More Coverage Than Gosnell Trial
Wendy Davis, the state Senator from Texas who led the failed charge to keep late-term abortions at viability legal, has become a celebrity for the pro-abortion movement.

A new Media Research Center analysis helps explain why: the big television networks gave her three times more coverage than they gave to the trial of abortion practitioner Kermit Gosnell, who killed babies born alive after abortions. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/07/23/networks-give-wendy-davis-three-times-more-coverage-than-gosnell-trial/
Abortion Defenders Use Aborted Babies in Jars as Props, Trophies
There is nothing EXTREME about supporting a ban on sex-selection abortions. There is nothing EXTREME about making sure women are not maimed in unhygienic facilities. And there is nothing EXTREME in requiring a doctor be present when a woman is given a highly toxic abortifacient.
You wouldn’t know that though if you read the stories from abortion extremists via their allies in the mainstream media. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/07/23/abortion-defenders-use-aborted-babies-in-jars-as-props-trophies/

Death Panels: Legislated Advance Directives to Live Could Be Ignored
Politico is reporting that the proposal to explicitly pay doctors for end-of-life care discussions with patients has again been put in the Congressional hopper. Some called this a “death panel” aspect of Obamacare, as a consequence of which, it never made it into law.. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/07/23/death-panels-legislated-advance-directives-to-live-could-be-ignored/
