Girl Scouts USA Threatens LifeNews After Reporting Its Link to Planned Parenthood
During the last two weeks, LifeNews has brought international attention to the link between the Girl Scouts and the Planned Parenthood abortion business and the national boycott of Girl Scouts cookies sponsored by pro-life groups.
The pro-life movement has been concerned for a number of years about the ties between the Girl Scouts and the Planned Parenthood abortion business. Although the Girl Scout organization maintains that it takes “no position” on the issue of abortion, parents, churches, and pro-life activists have long complained of the pro-abortion slant of the Girl Scouts’ resources, role models, and affiliations. http://www.lifenews.com/2014/02/17/girl-scouts-usa-threatens-lifenews-after-reporting-its-link-to-planned-parenthood/
North Korea’s Kim Jong-un Forces Women to Drown Their Babies, Have Abortions
The Washington Times reports today February 17th that a new U.N. Report, on North Korea, alleges that the Kim Jong-un regime has been guilty of crimes against humanity including forcing women to abort their babies or killing them after birth. The Washington Times article follows:
The North Korean regime is committing systematic and widespread human rights abuses, including forcing mothers to drown their newborn babies and setting up secret prison camps, a United Nations report released Monday found. http://www.lifenews.com/2014/02/17/north-koreas-kim-jong-un-forces-women-to-drown-their-babies-have-abortions/
Mom Expecting Identical Triplets Gets Surprise When Doctor Shouts, “More Feet!”
Kimberly Fugate was expecting identical triplets. After a grueling labor process and the birth of three children, Fugate was ready for some much-needed rest. But rest would have to wait as the doctor shouted, “More feet!”
“They had got the three out and they said, ‘More feet,’” the Mississippi mother said. Fugate is now the proud mother of a statistical improbability – four identical newborn babies. http://www.lifenews.com/2014/02/17/mom-expecting-identical-triplets-gets-surprise-when-doctor-shouts-more-feet/
Abortion Methods: The Gruesome Reality of How Babies Are Killed in Abortion
[WARNING: As the title implies, this blog post is highly disturbing. You should not read it if you have a weak stomach.]
Most people who see nothing wrong with abortion have that belief because they don’t think an unborn baby is a person. They don’t even like the term “unborn baby” because it lends to the idea that what’s in the womb is a person. They usually stick with the term “fetus” because the emotional response generated from discussion of killing a fetus is more palatable than that of killing a baby. But even if they were right about the absence of humanity in a fetus, it doesn’t change the fact that aborting a fetus is a horrific, senseless tragedy. http://www.lifenews.com/2014/02/17/abortion-methods-the-gruesome-reality-of-how-babies-are-killed-in-abortion/
Ex-Planned Parenthood Staffer: Mom Scheduled Daughter’s Abortion, “She Blindsided Her Own Daughter”
In a recent article in The Criterion, Natalie Hoefer interviewed a nurse who worked at Planned Parenthood but left the abortion business with the help of clinic-worker-turned-activist Abby Johnson and local pro-lifers. The nurse, Marianne Anderson, bravely decided to come forward with her story because, as she says, she wanted to “right a wrong.” She credits the sidewalk counselors that helped her leave with giving her the courage to speak out about her experiences.
I felt so much love and acceptance in that room [when I first spoke publicly, at Right to Life of Indianapolis’ "Celebrate Life" dinner]. I wandered around there looking at how happy the people were, how much they’re really trying to help other people. I thought, “I want to be a part of that.” I thought I could start by telling my story, then maybe later I could be a sidewalk counselor. http://www.lifenews.com/2014/02/17/ex-planned-parenthood-staffer-mom-scheduled-daughters-abortion-she-blindsided-her-own-daughter/
The Bachelor’s Sean Lowe Talks Abstinence: Following God’s Design
Sean Lowe from “The Bachelor”, who married Catherine Giudici on live TV January 26th, made it public knowledge that they were choosing to wait until their marriage to have sex (as proven by a lie detector test taken by both of them).
seanloweLowe further explains his choice to forego sex until marriage in his video for I Am Second. Though he had been labeled “the virgin bachelor,” Sean actually went through a period in his life where he was sexually active and felt great regret. http://www.lifenews.com/2014/02/17/the-bachelors-sean-lowe-talks-abstinence-following-gods-design/
Bolivia Says No to Abortion: Law Recognizes “Right to Life” From Conception
A judge in Bolivia has ruled that abortion is considered a crime and that the law of the land recognizes the ‘right of life from the moment of conception’.
Judge Gualberto Cusi in Sucre was ruling on an action brought by Patricia Mancilla, a member of the same socialistic party as President Evo Morales, who went to court requesting abortion would no longer be considered a crime. http://www.lifenews.com/2014/02/17/bolivia-says-no-to-abortion-law-recognizes-right-to-life-from-conception/
