Andrew Cuomo Faces Calls to Resign After Saying Pro-Lifers Not Welcome in New York
Governor
Andrew Cuomo of New York is facing calls to resign following his
comments saying pro-life people have no business living in the state.
As LifeNews reported Friday, Cuomo said the following: You’re seeing that play out in New York. … The Republican Party candidates are running against the SAFE Act — it was voted for by moderate Republicans who run the Senate! Their problem is not me and the Democrats; their problem is themselves. Who are they? Are they these extreme conservatives who are right-to-life, pro-assault-weapon, anti-gay? Is that who they are? Because if that’s who they are and they’re the extreme conservatives, they have no place in the state of New York, because that’s not who New Yorkers are. http://www.lifenews.com/2014/

157 Babies Killed in Abortion Every Single Hour
This week our nation marks 41 years of legalized abortion — where unborn children are killed in every state
in our country.
This week our nation marks 41 years of legalized abortion — where unborn children are killed in every state
in our country.
For
most Americans, the 41st anniversary the Supreme Court handed down its
decision will be a day to mourn — a day to mourn the loss of tens of
millions of unborn children — sons and daughters, brothers and sisters
lost to a world that values choice over compassion. It will be a day to
mourn the damage abortion does to women — the medical problems, the
mental health issues, the damaging of relationships with friends and
family, and the destruction of relationships with God. http://www.lifenews.com/2014/
Only 6 Percent of Teen Girls Who Practice Abstinence Will Ever Have Abortions
Family
Research Council released a report this week that gave valuable insight
to those who want to understand the women in our culture who are most
vulnerable to abortion industry pressures and what risk factors affect
them. This valuable research about the demographics of women who have
had abortions reinforces what common sense would suggest – the more
sexual partners a woman has, and the earlier she becomes sexually
active, the more likely she is to have one or more abortions in her
lifetime.

Mother Who Regrets her Abortions Will March for Life: “I’m Marching for My Babies”
