Obama Admin May Try to Break Law to Directly Fund Abortions Overseas
The Friday Fax has learned that the Obama administration may try to
circumvent the long-standing Helm’s Amendment and allow for
taxpayer-funded abortions overseas.
The change has not been made yet as the administration is trying to figure out how best to go about what could be a highly controversial change to the U.S. law which has stood for almost half a century.

Congresswoman’s Miracle Baby Doing Well Nine Months After Doctors Said She’d Die
When
she was pregnant with her daughter Abigail Rose Beutler, doctors told
Congresswoman Jaime Herrera Beutler, a pro-life Republican from
Washington state, that her baby had a potentially fatal diagnosis that
would claim her life shortly after birth.
Beutler posted a message on Facebook last June saying her unborn child had been diagnosed with Potter’s Syndrome, a condition which prevents the child’s kidneys from developing properly and is typically fatal for the baby. http://www.lifenews.com/2014/

They Didn’t Tell Me When I Adopted Him That He’d Die Soon, But it Didn’t Matter
I’ve
said from the beginning that God kept much of Elijah’s diagnosis from
me until we got to the States because I
wouldn’t have picked our family as his. I would have used countless
excuses and reasoned away why we weren’t a good fit for him. I am so
incredibly grateful that I didn’t. I’m thankful that we didn’t reason
away the incredible gift God gave us through our son.

On
the day of his shunt surgery, we found out that Elijah had a rare
condition in which his hydrocephalus was combined with the fact that
large parts of his brain were missing. http://www.lifenews.com/2014/
Couple Prays to Adopt Baby With Down Syndrome, Watch Them Meet Their Beautiful Daughter
When
was the last time one of your expecting friends said to you: “I hope this baby has Down syndrome?” …awkward silence…
Couple Prays to Adopt Baby With Down Syndrome, Watch Them Meet Their Beautiful Daughter
When
was the last time one of your expecting friends said to you: “I hope this baby has Down syndrome?” …awkward silence…
You’ve
probably never, ever heard that before, but now, you have. Andy and
Mercedes Lara said that to their parents one day. Except they weren’t
having a baby the “traditional” way. They felt called to adopt and not
to adopt a “normal” baby but one with Down syndrome. http://www.lifenews.com/2014/
Belgium Euthanasia Doctor Visits Nazi Death Camp, Why? You’ll Be as Shocked as Us
The
leading practitioner of euthanasia in Belgium, Dr Wim Distelmans, is
organizing an instructional tour to Auschwitz, the Nazi extermination
camp. In ’an invitation for a study trip for healthcare professionals,’
he describes Auschwitz as an ‘inspiring’ surrounding in which to
‘clarify confusion about euthanasia’.
In fact, Dr Distelmans’s tour does help to clarify matters: it shows that how little distance there is between Belgian euthanasia in 2014 and Nazi death camps in 1944. http://www.lifenews.com/2014/

What Jim Caviezel Said To Women Who Had Abortions Made Him Break Down and Cry
“The
Passion of the Christ” actor Jim Caviezel has a message about God’s
mercy and grace — especially for women who have had abortions. Prepare
to be changed.
Caviezel, famed
for his role as Christ in The Passion of the Christ, and currently
starring as the leading man in TV’s Person of Interest, is no stranger
to being, well, different in Hollywood. From his publicly Catholic faith
to his committed pro-life views, he stands in stark contrast to the
typical movie star. http://www.lifenews.com/2014/“The

Democratic Party Chair: “Wrong” to Punish Men Who Force Women to Have Abortion
Debbie
Wasserman Schulz is at it again. The chair of the national Democratic
Party says a bill to punish men who force their partners to have
abortions is “wrong” and “senseless.”
The Florida
legislature passed and sent to pro-life Governor Rick Scott a bill that
punishes criminals who kill an unborn child in the course of an attack
on a pregnant woman. http://www.lifenews.com/2014/Debbie

Top UN Official Looks Away as Pope Francis Says Abortion Violates Human Rights
The highest-ranking U.N. human rights official, Navi Pillay, looked
down and fidgeted as Pope Francis delivered an unambiguous pro-life
message to Secretary General Ban Ki-moon and top U.N. officials. http://www.lifenews.com/2014/
Marco Rubio: Science is Settled, Life Begins at Conception
Florida Sen. Marco Rubio is a potential 2016 presidential candidate on
the Republican side. As voters evaluate his record, it’s clear he
understands that abortion takes a human life. http://www.lifenews.com/2014/
Pro-Life Leader Condemns Death Sentence for Pregnant Christian Woman Who Refused to Accept Islam
The death sentence issued to a woman who refused to renounce
Christianity for Islam in Sudan is an “egregious violation of basic
human rights,” Congressman Chris Smith (NJ-04), Chairman of the House
congressional panel that oversees U.S. policy in Africa, said today. http://www.lifenews.com/2014/
Bioethicist: Parents Should Have the Right to Kill Their Severely Disabled Newborns
I have long argued that our neurotic obsession with eliminating
suffering–we should, of course alleviate and mitigate it–leads very
quickly to elliminating the sufferer. http://www.lifenews.com/2014/
An Unborn Child is a Human Person Who Deserves Protection, Here’s Why
I have written several articles already giving a robust defense of what
a person is. But now I’d like to talk about what I see as a key
component to a person. http://www.lifenews.com/2014/
Democratic Senator Asked IRS to Investigate Top Pro-Life Group
Yesterday Judicial Watch reported that Sen. Carl Levin (D-MI) wrote to
the IRS in June 2012 to complain about 12 nonprofit groups he wanted
investigated for “political activity.” http://www.lifenews.com/2014/

choose abortion as a fundamental question of equality and human rights. http://www.lifenews.com/2014/
