Feminist Professor Who Assaulted Pro-Lifers Sentenced to Three Years Probation and Anger ManagementUniversity of California Santa Barbara Professor of Feminist Studies, Mireille Miller-Young, has been sentenced in a criminal case in connection with an assault on pro-life young people who took the pro-life message to the UCSB campus.
Miller-Young was sentenced to 108 hours of community service, 10 hours of anger management, and three years probation for her assault on a group of pro-life students in early March. She was also ordered to pay a small fine and restitution of almost $500. http://www.lifenews.com/2014/08/18/feminist-professor-who-assaulted-pro-lifers-sentenced-to-three-years-probation-and-anger-management/
Planned Parenthood Director Threatened Black Pro-Life Legislator, Wanted Someone to “Kick Her A–”A director of an affiliate of the Planned Parenthood abortion business has been forced to resign after threatening a black pro-life state legislator in Louisiana — saying she wanted someone to “kick her a–.
Planned Parenthood Gulf Coast has asked Director Melissa Flournoy to resign after making the disparaging remarks about a pro-life Democrat, Rep. Katrina Jackson, (pictured right) who sponsored legislation that may result in shutting down abortion clinics that can’t comply with new state health and safety laws. http://www.lifenews.com/2014/08/18/planned-parenthood-director-threatened-black-pro-life-legislator-wanted-someone-to-kick-her-a/
Abortionist’s Wife on How It’s Okay to Do Abortions: “Read the Bible and You’ll See”The Bible condemns abortion with its admonitions against murder and encouragement to choose life and respect the life God created. But the wife of a prominent late-term abortion practitioner thinks the Bible justifies her husband’s profession.
After a hearing late last week which saw a local judge issue an order closing down his abortion clinic if it failed to meet state health and safety laws, Martin Haskell and his wife left the courtroom and were greeted by pro-life advocates. http://www.lifenews.com/2014/08/18/abortionists-wife-on-how-its-okay-to-do-abortions-read-the-bible-and-youll-see/

When I Found Out My Mother Aborted My Brother: “$100 is Not Too Bad For an Abortion”
I recently interviewed Donna, who struggles with feelings of loss, sadness, and guilt over an abortion her mother had before she was born. Her testimony is raw and honest, and she is still struggling with the death of her sibling. Even though neither her testimony nor her views fit neatly into the typical pro-life narrative that some people may expect, I feel she deserves a chance to be heard. May her story raise awareness of the pain that siblings of aborted babies often feel.

The Quiet Moment That Shocked an Abortion Worker Into Leaving Planned ParenthoodIt happens all too often that a person’s ideology and moral conscience are in deep conflict.
This is exemplified in the story of Catherine Adair, who was so entrenched in her “pro-choice” philosophy that she couldn’t see that the guilt and depression she so regularly experienced stemmed from an abortion in her youth. http://www.lifenews.com/2014/08/18/the-quiet-moment-that-shocked-an-abortion-worker-into-leaving-planned-parenthood/
Pope Francis Visits Cemetery for Babies Who Were Victims of AbortionOver the weekend, Pope Francis visited a memorial in South Korea dedicated to remembering babies who have been victimized by abortions.
The leader of the Catholic Church is inspired by something done in and around The Vatican shortly after the death of Jesus Christ.
Sacrilegious Cinemax Show “The Knick” Features Nun Performing AbortionA sacrilegious television show on the Cinemax cable television channel is coming under fire from Catholics today because it features a nun performing an abortion.
The Knick is a television drama series on Cinemax directed by Steven Soderbergh and starring Clive Owen. The program looks at the professional and personal lives of Dr. John W. Thackery (played by Owen) and the staff at the fictional Knickerbocker Hospital (“the Knick”) during the early part of the twentieth century. Abortion was not legal during this time. http://www.lifenews.com/2014/08/18/sacrilegious-cinemax-show-the-knick-features-nun-performing-abortion/

Population Controller: Parents Must be Licensed and Pass a Test to Have KidsTranshumanism is selfish, all about me-me, I-I.
