Washington D.C. Wants 24-Hour Wait for Tattoos, Piercings But No Abortion LimitsWashington, D.C. may soon institute a 24-hour waiting period before a tattoo or piercing can be done. But local officials have no interest in a waiting period before an abortion — as the District of Columbia remains one of the most ardently pro-abortion places in the country.
From a TownHall report: Najma Roberts, a spokeswoman for the Health Department, said that the waiting period for a tattoo or piercing was necessary so people do not get inked or pierced with something they may regret: http://www.lifenews.com/2013/09/10/washington-d-c-wants-24-hour-wait-for-tattoos-piercings-but-no-abortion-limits/
2013 Poised to Set Another Record for Most Pro-Life Legislation Passed In 2013, life-affirming federal and state legislation designed to protect women from the harms inherent in abortion has garnered increasing attention and support from legislators and the American public — and engendered increasing fear and consternation among abortion advocates and their allies.
This year, 48 states have considered approximately 360 measures related to abortion, most of which sought to protect women and their unborn children from a predatory abortion industry which, as the Kermit Gosnell case aptly demonstrates, places concerns for profit over women’s health and safety. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/09/10/2013-poised-to-set-another-record-for-most-pro-life-legislation-passed/
Thousands of Children Die in the U.S. From Another Chemical Weapon, AbortionWhatever our opinions are on striking Syria, we probably agree that the use of chemical weapons on anyone is an egregious and intolerable evil. However, some might be surprised to learn that in 2011, more than 1,200 chemical weapons were used on babies in Ohio with the permission of the U.S. Supreme Court and the encouragement of politicians and the ever-powerful abortion lobby.
According to the Boston Globe, “The worldwide taboo against chemical weapons is more than a century old.” http://www.lifenews.com/2013/09/10/thousands-of-children-die-in-the-u-s-from-another-chemical-weapon-abortion/
Abortion Practitioners Played Catch With Bodies of Babies Killed in Abortion Abortion providers see the bodies of aborted babies daily. They deal with the grief and heartache of seeing women through what is almost always a difficult and painful experience. Sometimes the stress of what they are doing comes out in disturbing ways. According to Father Frank Pavone from Priests for Life:
Former workers in the abortion industry have told us stories about playing games of toss with aborted babies in the hallway. Your mind has to invert what is going on: to make it a game, a joke, something positive. It’s the only way to keep from going crazy — and some of them do. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/09/10/abortion-practitioners-played-catch-with-bodies-of-babies-killed-in-abortion/
Finally... moral, pro-life fiction that opens hearts and minds! “This is what I was hoping would begin to spring from the Indie World. No way would NYC Corporate Publishing ever allow something with this worldview through.” - a reader.

“The Chew” Host Daphne Oz is Pregnant: I “Fell in Love” With My Unborn ChildABC’s The Chew co-host Daphne Oz surprised an enthusiastic audience and cast yesterday on the show when she announced that she is pregnant with her first child.
As the cast recapped each of their summers, Oz told co-hosts and the audience about how she and her husband had celebrated their third wedding anniversary over the summer break, and showed pictures from the vacation. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/09/10/the-chew-host-daphne-oz-is-pregnant-i-fell-in-love-with-my-unborn-child/
MSNBC Show Features Late-Term Abortion Doc Misleading About Fetal PainMSNBC is nothing if not a cheerleader for abortion — and bad science. A panel on one of its talking heads shows pushed the false notion that unborn children don’t feel pain during abortions.
From Jill Stanek’s blog: A typically unbalanced discussion on NOW with Alex Wagner seeks to assure viewers that babies feel no pain until well after 20 weeks’ gestation. So says panel “expert,” abortionist Anne Davis (pictured right), from Physicians for Reproductive Health, who conveniently happens to perform abortions late into pregnancy. According to host Alex Wagner: http://www.lifenews.com/2013/09/10/msnbc-show-features-late-term-abortion-doc-misleading-about-fetal-pain/

U.S. Population Falls to Dangerous Levels Below Replacement RateThe fertility rate in the United States fell again to another record low in 2012, thanks in part to the recession that is making it so couples are more reticent to consider having children to adding to their family.
While abortion contributes to destroy more than one million unborn children on an annual basis, new figures from the CDC show the American population is at dangerously low levels — so low that the U.S. birth rate is below the replacement rate needed to sustain the population. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/09/10/u-s-population-falls-to-dangerous-levels-below-replacement-rate/
