Medical Examiner May Not Bury Bodies of Babies Gosnell Killed for 10 Years
A coalition of pro-life groups gathered in Philadelphia Sunday evening to call on the Philadelphia Medical Examiner’s office to release to them the remains of 47 aborted babies found at Kermit Gosnell’s squalid abortion clinic so that the babies can have the dignity of a proper funeral and burial.
Gosnell was convicted earlier this year of three counts of first degree murder for intentionally severing the spinal cords of late-term babies that had been born alive during abortions.

New Birthing Center Will Deliver Babies in One Room, Abort Them in Another
A new birthing center in Buffalo, New York will provide an alternative for women seeking to give birth outside of a hospital setting. But it will also do abortions — setting up a terrible irony. Babies will be welcomed into life in one room and, down the hall, their lives will be snuffed out in abortions.
From a local news report with more on this chilling paradox. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/08/26/new-birthing-center-will-deliver-babies-in-one-room-abort-them-in-another/
“My Abortion Was a Horrifying Experience, Women Were Treated Like Cattle”
Carla Stream knows what it’s like to experience an abortion decision she would later come to regret. Her personal story is one she has shared before and she calls it a “horrifying” experience where women were subjected to being treated “like cattle.”
“I was 24 when I found out I was pregnant. I didn’t know what to do and wasn’t sure to whom I could turn,” Stream says. “I told my roommate who offered to drive me to an abortion clinic. The only other person I told didn’t say anything.” http://www.lifenews.com/2013/08

Babies Gosnell Butchered in Infanticides, Abortions, Deserve Proper Burials
This morning, we gathered pro-lifers in front of the Philadelphia medical coroner’s office for a second time, after we were locked out the first time this July, demanding the release of 47 tiny humans for burial.
These bab3es died at the hand of a vicious man who held a license to practice medicine, but we all know he did killing than healing. They were found in freezers and jars in the office of abortionist, Kermit Gosnell, and are now in the custody of the city coroner’s office. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/08/26/babies-gosnell-butchered-in-infanticides-abortions-deserve-proper-burials/

Pro-Abortion Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg Repeats Assertion She Won’t Retire
Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg is one of five pro-abortion members of the Supreme Court who are preventing any bill banning abortions from ever becoming law. She said in July that she has no plans to retire and reiterated that in a new interview with the New York Times.
From a report on the interview: Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg faulted her colleagues recently for creating a judicial atmosphere of activism, and she suggested she’s going to stick around and try to turn back that tone, for at least another year. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/08/26/pro-abortion-justice-ruth-bader-ginsburg-repeats-assertion-she-wont-retire/

Without Religious Morals and Values, Abortion on Demand Would Flourish
A In The Coming of the Third Reich, hailed by the Atlantic Monthly as “the definitive English-language account,” Cambridge historian Richard Evans outlines the various philosophies which undergirded the Nazi regime.
Among many others, he points to thinkers such as Ernst Haeckel, who openly advocated killing the mentally ill, and Alfred Ploetz, who believed a panel of doctors should attend every birth to determine if the baby was fit to live. As Evans proceeds to explain... http://www.lifenews.com/2013/08/26/without-religious-morals-and-values-abortion-on-demand-would-flourish/

Argument Against Inspecting Abortion Facilities is Disingenuous, Anti-Woman

If Your Heart Isn’t Broken From Abortion, You’re Not Paying Attention
Our siege Last Friday was just like so many before it.

“Personally Opposed to Abortion?” Then Prove It
