Kermit Gosnell Writes Abortion Poem From Jail Defending His Grisly Abortions
As LifeNews reported yesterday, late-term abortion practitioner Kermit Gosnell defending his actions killing unborn children in abortions after viability and taking their lives moments after their purposeful delivery in gruesome infanticides.
But Gosnell did more than just defend himself from his jail cell. He also wrote a poem that explains his macabre actions in a way that defends his killings by saying he is saving the babies his is destroying from a supposed life of crime and poverty. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/09/24/kermit-gosnell-writes-abortion-poem-from-jail-defending-his-grisly-abortions/

Study: Planned Parenthood Health Services at Lowest Point Since 2006 While Tax $ Up 78%
The Planned Parenthood abortion business says it repeatedly: it’s about women’s health care not abortion. The abortion business will have much to explain following a new study released today by American Life League.

For years, conservatives and pro-life groups have fought public tax dollars going to Planned Parenthood because it is primarily an abortion business and the new study backs up that claim. The meta-study by American Life League shows that the total healthcare services delivered by Planned Parenthood have reached their lowest point since 2006, while taxpayer funding has increased 78 percent over the past six years. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/09/24/study-planned-parenthood-health-services-at-lowest-point-since-2006-while-tax-up-78/

Abortionist: Women are Always Going to “Need” Abortions Up to Birth
A recent interview with late-term abortionist Dr. Susan Robinson in The Hairpin casts some light on the controversial practice of third-trimester abortion. Even many pro-choice people have a hard time understanding why a woman would wait 30 weeks before having an abortion. You sometimes hear pro-choicers say that if there were fewer restrictions on earlier abortion, there would be no late-term abortions.

Not so, says Dr. Robinson: : http://www.lifenews.com/2013/09/23/abortionist-we-give-parents-of-aborted-babies-photos-to-remember-their-birth/

Abortion Advocate: People Only Get Rights When They Can Walk
Apparently you should have the right to live only if you also have the ability to walk.

In the fall of 2008, I debated a woman named Fofi on the “Colorado Decides” program. We were debating the pros and cons of the 2008 Colorado Personhood Amendment. As we were discussing when people receive legal protections, Fofi said: http://www.lifenews.com/2013/09/24/abortion-advocate-people-only-get-rights-when-they-can-walk/

Pro-Abortion Blogger: Make Hobby Lobby Obey HHS Mandate, It “Sells Cheap Crap to Glue Together”
Just when you think someone’s hit rock-bottom, she manages to dig a little deeper. Jezebel blogger Erin Gloria Ryan has really distinguished herself for making pro-aborts sound like churlish, ignorant juveniles, but in her latest outburst against those who don’t want compulsory contraception coverage, she’s somehow managed to sink the bar even lower. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/09/24/pro-abortion-blogger-make-hobby-lobby-obey-hhs-mandate-it-sells-cheap-crap-to-glue-together/

After I Became Pro-Life, My Two Best Friends Ended Our Friendship
When I was 27, I became pro-life. I’ve written about it extensively, so I won’t rehash the story. A year later, I became Catholic. During that year, when I was blogging (via the ancient site known as MySpace) about my new pro-life stance and my faith, two of my best friends in the world – I’ll call them Dave and Nancy – decided not to be friends with me anymore. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/09/24/after-i-became-pro-life-my-two-best-friends-ended-our-friendship/
