Obamacare Funds Planned Parenthood Abortion Biz, D.C. Exchange Sends $375K
When Congress passed the Affordable Care Act, known more commonly as Obamacare, pro-life groups warned that abortion funding would be a component of the health care reform law.

Now, the beginning of that funding is coming to pass as the Obamacare exchange in Washington, D.C. announced today it is sending $375,000 in taxpayer funds to the Planned Parenthood abortion business. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/08/14/obamacare-funds-planned-parenthood-abortion-biz-d-c-exchange-sends-375k/
Study Shows Highest-Ever Abortion-Breast Cancer Risk for Women
A newly-published study shows the highest-ever abortion-breast cancer risk for women of any previously-published study on the link between the two.

A Bangladesh study published in the Journal of Dhaka Medical College on risk factors for breast cancer, led by Dr. Suraiya Jabeen, found a statistically significant 20.62-fold increased risk among women with abortion histories. The new study on the abortion-breast cancer link is by far the highest risk elevation reported among 73 published abortion-breast cancer studies. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/08/14/study-shows-highest-abortion-breast-cancer-risk-ever-for-women/
Planned Parenthood Getting Obamacare Funds Left Part of Baby in Mom After Abortion
Planned Parenthood of Metropolitan Washington has become the first affiliate of the Planned Parenthood abortion business to receive taxpayer funds from an Obamacare health care exchange.
However, it turns out this local abortion business has a sordid past. It botched an abortion on a young woman so badly that it left her infertile and the abortion practitioner left part of the unborn baby inside of her. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/08/14/planned-parenthood-getting-obamacare-funds-left-part-of-baby-in-mom-after-abortion/
Mother Who Suffered From Six Miscarriages Gives Birth to “Miracle Baby”
Kim Cruickshanks had six miscarriages of babies who did not survive past the twelfth week of pregnancy, but she was determined that her unborn baby Daisy would make it.

Cruickshanks suffers from a condition known as polycystic ovary syndrome, that contributed to the miscarriages. But when Daisy got past the 12 week mark, she did everything she could to care for her baby. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/08/14/mother-who-suffered-from-six-miscarriages-gives-birth-to-miracle-baby/

Ambulance Transports Patient From Filthy Virginia Abortion Clinic
A woman was transported by ambulance from the Falls Church Healthcare abortion clinic in Falls Church, Virginia, on June 27, 2013.

Local activists caught the incident on video and obtained the 911 Computer Aided Dispatch (CAD) transcript, which noted that a 24-year old woman was suffering from hyperventilation following anesthesia. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/08/14/ambulance-transports-patient-from-filthy-virginia-abortion-clinic/

The Pro-Life Movement Needs More Speaking Truth About Abortion in Love
Truth. Legislation. Love. When I’m asked about the most important tools that we can utilize in the pro-life movement, these make up what I see as the three-legged stool.
Each leg, on its own, serves an important purpose. But they also work in a complementary way to strengthen and support each another, thereby furthering the fight for life.
After Adoption and Childbirth She Had an Abortion and Regrets Her Decision
Many years ago, a woman in her early twenties (made up name of Janet) and her son (made up name of Tommy) came into my life. Janet was going through a rough patch and needed a place to live. So, like many pro-lifers have done for so many years, I opened my home to her and Tommy.youaremorere
Over the course of a few weeks, as we got to know each other better, she told me that she had been pregnant four times. One pregnancy ended with her releasing her baby for adoption; another ended in miscarriage; the third ended in the delivery of Tommy; and the last ended in abortion. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/08/14/adoption-birth-miscarriage-abortion-she-only-regrets-the-abortion/
Women More Likely Than Men to Support Banning Abortions After 20 Weeks
Earlier this month, on the Washington Post’s The Fix blog, Aaron Blake published a thoughtful analysis of recent polling data on 20-week abortion bans. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/08/14/women-more-likely-than-men-to-support-banning-abortions-after-20-weeks/


Activist: Abortion is a Wonderful Thing for Children and Families
It would be interesting to find out if abortion advocates actually believe the drivel they spew, or if they’re just spouting off one-liners in an attempt to make themselves look less ghoulish. This question comes to mind when reading a new article posted at RH Reality Check written by Sarah Erdreich. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/08/14/activist-abortion-is-a-wonderful-thing-for-children-and-families/

New York Times Columnist: Pro-Lifers Responsible for the “Roots of Rape”
In a column yesterday, the NYT’s Frank Bruni tried to examine what the various mindsets are behind the “roots of rape” in America

California Gov. Vetoes Bill to Sell Embryos, Human Eggs: “Not Everything Should be for Sale”
California Governor Jerry Brown has vetoed AB 926–against which I warned last May–that would have permitted biotech companies to buy eggs from women and embryos from IVF companies. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/08/14/california-gov-vetoes-bill-to-sell-embryos-human-eggs-not-everything-should-be-for-sale/
Big Brother Episode Furthers Abortion Mindset by Trashing Adoption
Much attention has been given to this season’s Big Brother reality show. Over the course of the summer, viewers, and the nation as a whole, have witnessed contestants within the Big Brother household make several derogatory remarks. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/08/14/big-brother-episode-furthers-abortion-mindset-by-trashing-adoption/

Militant Abortion Advocates Besiege Pregnancy Center Providing Women Options
Kansas media hardly covered abortionist Kermit Gosnell’s “House of Horrors” murder trial but were there last week to cover a measly group of 15 abortion supporters conducting a protest tour of states with the fewest abortion clinics. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/08/14/militant-abortion-advocates-besiege-pregnancy-center-providing-women-options/
Abortion Activists Upset University of Texas Med School Partners With Catholic Group
The University of Texas at Austin’s new Dell Medical School, which is slated to open in 2016, finally bringing a medical school to the Austin campus, is a subject of renewed controversy. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/08/13/abortion-activists-upset-university-of-texas-med-school-partners-with-catholic-group/
Wendy Davis, Political Opportunist Who Thinks Abortion is Sacred Ground
Wendy Davis excels at keeping herself in the news. In June, the pro-abortion Texas state senator became a liberal darling by filibustering against a bill that would have banned abortions after twenty weeks (a ban which has since become law). http://www.lifenews.com/2013/08/14/wendy-davis-political-opportunist-who-thinks-abortion-is-sacred-ground/
“Ethicist”: Manipulate Human Mind to Make Criminals Serve 1,000 Years in Prison

Ohio Pro-Life Bill Would Protect Rape Victims and Their Children

Pro-Life Critique of Mary Anne Warren’s “On the Moral and Legal Status of Abortion”
I recently gave an in-depth critique of one of the most important articles ever written on the abortion issue. I would like to turn my attention now to another popular essay written by Mary Anne Warren called On the Moral and Legal Status of Abortion. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/08/14/pro-life-critique-of-mary-anne-warrens-on-the-moral-and-legal-status-of-abortion/
Pro-Life Message Spreads Like Wildfire on Pinterest
Like many working in the pro-life movement, I just can’t seem to get “life” off the brain. I can’t help but see a pro-life angle on just about anything that comes before my eyes or passes through my ears. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/08/14/pro-life-message-spreads-like-wildfire-on-pinterest/
