You Won’t Believe What a Twin Who Survived Abortion Says in a Letter to the Abortion DoctorClaire Culwell knows what it’s like to be a survivor. At the age of 13, her mother learned she was pregnant and decided to have an abortion, though she didn’t know she was pregnant with twins.
After she had an abortion of Claire’s brother, she returned to the abortion clinic after realizing she still had a growing and developing baby inside of her. Told she was too late to have a second abortion, she gave birth to Claire, who struggled on life support as she dealt with a myriad of medical issues following her birth. http://www.lifenews.com/2014/04/29/you-wont-believe-what-a-twin-who-survived-abortion-says-in-a-letter-to-the-abortion-doctor/
Embattled DCF Chair Resigns After Controversy Over Justina Pelletier’s Parents Losing CustodyThe embattled Chief of the Massachusetts Department of Children and Families (DCF), Olga Roche, has resigned following the controversy surrounding the costly mismanagement of Justina Pelletier’s case and the tragic recent deaths of three children.Now, under intense scrutiny by the Massachusetts General Assembly. House Speaker Robert DeLeo (D), who called for Roche’s resignation, told radio station WBUR:

Doctors Advised Abortion, But My Little Miracle is a Symbol of Hope for OthersLittle Maisie Smith, when she was 18-week-old in her mother’s woman, was diagnosed with a diaphragm defect that led doctors to advise her mother to consider abortion. The congenital diaphragmatic hernia condition made it so her organs slipped into her chest cavity, preventing her lungs from growing properly.
But her mother had no interest in abortion and watned to do everything possible to allow Maisie a chance at life. After a surgery to correct the condition shortly after birth, mother and baby are happy. http://www.lifenews.com/2014/04/29/doctors-advised-abortion-but-my-little-miracle-is-a-symbol-of-hope-for-others/
After Google Bans Pregnancy Center Ads, NARAL Now Lobbying Yahoo and Bing
Over the next few days, we should learn more about NARAL’s successful campaign to convince Google to pull ads paid for by Crisis Pregnancy Centers. Yesterday we talked about what could be gleaned from a story in the Washington Post (“Google accepts NARAL’s ‘analysis,’ rejects pro-life CPC ads”). Today we’ll talk about what comes through in NARAL’s victory lap fund-raiser and a story in The Hill newspaper.
For those who missed yesterday’s post, Google accepted NARAL’s assertion that CPC’s were deliberately misleading in their advertising. The Post story intimated that only “some” CPC ads would be affected. In fact, NARAL targeted 79% of CPC ads. http://www.lifenews.com/2014/04/29/after-google-bans-pregnancy-center-ads-naral-now-lobbying-yahoo-and-bing/

Man Beats His Infant Son Until His Skull Cracks, Anguished Deaf Mom Never Heard His CriesWhat prompts someone to show such a callous disregard for human life?
Abortion practitioners and abortion clinic staffers kill hundreds, even thousands of babies in abortions. Every day, everyweek knowingly snuffing out of the life of a little baby. And there there are those who, perhaps without premeditation, take the life of or severely injure a little baby. http://www.lifenews.com/2014/04/29/man-beats-his-infant-son-until-his-skull-cracks-anguished-deaf-mom-never-heard-his-cries/
Are Pro-Lifers Compromising When They Support Bills Stopping Some Abortions?Nathan Trapuzzano was a young 24-year-old man who served as a sidewalk counselor at a local abortion clinic in Indiana and had a baby on the way. Tragically, he was murdered in a shooting while out walking his neighborhood.
Eight months pregnant, Jennifer revealed . http://www.lifenews.com/2014/04/29/are-pro-lifers-compromising-when-they-support-bills-stopping-some-abortions/

Why are Some Outraged by Burning Aborted Babies for Electricity But Apathetic About Abortion?Unless you’ve been living under a rock, you’ve probably heard about the big scandal in Marion County, Oregon (Salem): for years, it’s been revealed, the bodies of aborted and miscarried babies from British Columbia have made up some of the fuel in their waste-to-energy plant. In plain English: dead human bodies were incinerated to heat Salem-area homes.
I think all compassionate people (whether pro-life or pro-choice) can agree that families who lose a child to miscarriage should have full control over what happens to the remains, and that they probably wouldn’t have chosen this. http://www.lifenews.com/2014/04/29/why-are-some-outraged-by-burning-aborted-babies-for-electricity-but-apathetic-about-abortion/

South Carolina Voters Want Bill Banning Abortions on Babies Who Feel PainA poll released today by National Right to Life and South Carolina Citizens for Life finds that 63% of registered voters in South Carolina support a law that would prohibit abortion after 20 weeks, when there is overwhelming scientific evidence that the unborn child is capable of feeling pain. http://www.lifenews.com/2014/04/29/south-carolina-voters-want-bill-banning-abortions-on-babies-who-feel-pain/
