Video: Iowa Democrats, Candidates for Governor Pray for Abortion
Every so often abortion activists cause a stir with prayers for abortion. The worst may have been when President Barack Obama asked God to bless the Planned Parenthood abortion business at the end of a speech this year.
Now, from Iowa comes this: Iowa Democrat gubernatorial candidates join abortion activists in prayer for increased abortion access. “We pray for women who’ve been made afraid of their own power by their paternalistic religion.” http://www.lifenews.com/2013/08/29/video-iowa-democrats-and-candidates-for-governor-pray-for-abortion/
Chinese Woman Victimized by Forced Abortion at Nine Months of Pregnancy
A new report from a top international human rights group indicates a Chinese woman has come forward to share the nightmarish details of her forced abortion at nine months of pregnancy.
According to a Chinese news report, Lili Zeng from Youshan Borough, Xinfeng County, Guangdong Province in China, was forcibly aborted at nine months. Her baby boy was born alive and died in her arms. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/08/29/chinese-woman-victimized-by-forced-abortion-at-nine-months-of-pregnancy/

Baby Faith: Surviving at 23 Weeks, She Was Lighter Than a Loaf of Bread
As Congress and several states grapple with bills that would prohibit abortions after 20 weeks of pregnancy, babies like Baby Faith in New Jersey are surviving very premature births.
Born at 23 weeks, Faith was lighter than a loaf of bread when her mother Marie Massey went into labor four months early. Marie gave an interview to ABC News about her ordeal and the challenging birth that had a happy ending. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/08/29/baby-faith-surviving-at-23-weeks-she-was-lighter-than-a-loaf-of-bread/
Mom Births Baby in Bar Bathroom, Stuffs His Body in a Toilet, Returns to Watch TV
A tragic story comes out of Pennsylvania this week as authorities seek to understand the motive behind the brutal murder of a newborn baby boy.

Lawmakers Laugh at Woman Conceived in Rape, Want Resolution Supporting Her Abortion
Rebecca Kiessling knows what it’s like to be targeted by abortion. She is one of the rare people to escape an abortion after her birthmother became pregnant following a sexual assault.
But Kiessling was targeted more directly today when she testified before local lawmakers in support of a pro-life resolution. Laughing at her story of how she survived an abortion that too frequently claims the lives of unborn children conceived in rape, they passed a resolution supporting abortions in cases of rape or incest as an “in your face” gesture. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/08/29/lawmakers-laugh-at-woman-conceived-in-rape-pass-resolution-supporting-her-abortion/
How Does Planned Parenthood Get Away With Claiming Only 3% of its Business is Abortion?
Listen to Planned Parenthood and “providing” abortions is not only a public service, it is such a small part of all that it does that it hardly merits mentioning. It’s only those mean old pro-lifers—such as Dr. Randall K. O’Bannon, NRLC’s Director of Education—who insist on making the insignificant (abortion makes up “only 3%” of PPFA’s services) seem significant.
Of course as Dr. O’Bannon has explained many times, that 3% figure is the ridiculously misleading. Recently, Rachael Larimore, writing on Slate.com, did an excellent job illuminating what she calls “The Most Meaningless Abortion Statistic Ever.” http://www.lifenews.com/2013/08/29/how-does-planned-parenthood-get-away-with-claiming-only-3-of-its-business-is-abortion/

“How to Convince a Girl to Get an Abortion” Where are the Feminists?
When a colleague sent me an article titled How To Convince A Girl To Get An Abortion, I was pretty sure it was satire. I mean, abortion activists have been increasingly less apologetic about their penchant for feticide, academics have been kowtowing to the idea of “forced fatherhood,” and “abortion contracts” may become “a thing,” but seriously?
Surely no guy is willing to brazenly confess what I routinely accuse them of: That they are quite simply willing to satiate their sexual appetites regardless of who gets killed in the process.
