The Most Powerful Pro-Life Father’s Day Video You’ve Ever Seen It’s not even Father’s Day yet and we have what we think is the most pro-life Father’s Day video we’ve ever seen.
Every so often a big company or corporation hits the nail on the head with a video advertisement that shows a profound respect for life. It’s not that these companies are pro-life per se, but they have the big budgets to produce the kind of video that will easily move hearts when it’s seen. http://www.lifenews.com/2014/06/09/the-most-powerful-pro-life-fathers-day-video-youve-ever-seen/
Rare Mono Mono Twins Born Holding Hands Head Home From HospitalThy were a worldwide sensation when they were born and now they are finally heading home from the hospital.
Just in time for Mother’s Day, one Mom delivered a rare set of mono mono identical twin girls in Akron, Ohio. The babies were breathing on their own and their mom said she and her husband were able to hold them on Mother’s Day. http://www.lifenews.com/2014/06/09/rare-mono-mono-twins-born-holding-hands-head-home-from-hospital/
Woman Who Posted Video of Her Abortion and Ultrasound Picture of “My Baby” Regrets Her Abortion Last month, LifeNews spotlighted the story of a young woman who posted a video of her abortion records and an ultrasound picture of her unborn baby on YouTube. At the time, there was little additional information to go on and LifeNews readers speculated whether the woman int he video was proud of her abortion or had regrets.
We can now report that the young woman in the video, Kari Lynn, regrets her abortion and wishes she could undo the decision. She emailed LifeNews and wants other people to know that and hopes young women like her don’t make the same mistake. http://www.lifenews.com/2014/06/09/woman-who-posted-video-of-her-abortion-and-ultrasound-picture-of-my-baby-regrets-her-abortion/

Massachusetts May Finally Allow Justina Pelletier to Return Home
After a long legal battle between her family and state officials, Massachusetts may finally have agreed to allow Justina Pelletier to return home to her parents.
On Friday, the Massachusetts Health and Human Services (HHS) filed a motion for review of reconsideration and dismissal in the case of Justina Pelletier. This action follows Liberty Counsel’s motion to return Justina home. http://www.lifenews.com/2014/06/09/massachusetts-may-finally-allow-justina-pelletier-to-return-home/
This Father’s Day Remember Dads Who Got No Say When Their Unborn Children Were AbortedWe’ve collectively been so inundated with the “fact” that abortion is a “woman’s decision” that it’s difficult to remember that this is absurd on a gazillion different levels.
No one is evading the truth that carrying a baby to term is not easy under the best of circumstances, or that care of that child most often falls disproportionately on the mother. But it doesn’t follow that the father ought not to have a voice in the fate of a child that is his as well as hers. http://www.lifenews.com/2014/06/09/this-fathers-day-remembers-dads-who-got-no-say-when-their-unborn-children-were-aborted/

Abortion in Cases of Rape or Incest? We are People, Not ArgumentsHow would like to be labeled “a hard case?” What if your class of people were systematically targeted for extinction within legislation?
What if political candidates felt quite comfortable with stating their position that you and your kind aren’t worth protecting and better off dead? What if your child was regularly stigmatized by our society? That’s exactly what it’s like for those of us who were conceived in rape, mothers from rape, and those given a poor in utero diagnosis. http://www.lifenews.com/2014/06/08/abortion-in-cases-of-rape-or-incest-we-are-people-not-arguments/

What Does the Bible Really Say About Abortion and Unborn Children?

Birth Isn’t the Beginning of Life, So Let’s Stop Talking Like It Is I think most pro-lifers would agree that if one were to examine our current scientific knowledge of the human life cycle from an unbiased perspective, without any cultural baggage, one would immediately see that a human life biologically begins at fertilization and quickly conclude that all human beings are equally worthy of the right to life regardless of level of development. http://www.lifenews.com/2014/06/09/birth-isnt-the-beginning-of-life-so-lets-stop-talking-like-it-is/
