Mom Gives Birth in Her Driveway and Didn’t Even Know She Was PregnantI remember vividly how it felt to be pregnant. Probably because it was only nine months ago but especially because my daughter decided to wait 13 days (yes, 13 days) past her due date. Finally, after being in pre-labor for a day and active labor for another 10 hours, she was born and it was great.

That wasn’t how pregnancy, labor and delivery went for Jennifer Scollin. She didn’t even know she was pregnant. She thought she had a stomach bug! http://www.lifenews.com/2014/04/04/mom-gives-birth-in-her-driveway-and-didnt-even-know-she-was-pregnant/

Video Celebrates Mom With Cancer Who Refused Abortion, Gave Her Life for Her BabyLast month, Elizabeth Joice, a strong woman, beautiful wife, and courageous mother, died after a roller coaster ride with cancer, leaving behind her husband and beautiful newborn daughter. Joice began an arduous regimen of cancer treatments after learning that she had a malignant tumor in 2010.

It took surgery and four rounds of chemotherapy, but she beat the cancer – and predictions that she would not be able to get pregnant after treatment. Last year, the couple received the hoped-for news that they were pregnant, and shortly thereafter the dreaded news that Elizabeth’s cancer had returned. http://www.lifenews.com/2014/04/04/video-celebrates-mom-with-cancer-who-refused-abortion-gave-her-life-for-her-baby/

Former Abortion Doctor on Why He Quit: When I Had to Count Babies’ Arms and Legs, It Hit MeDr. David Brewer is a former abortionist who spoke at the “Meet the Abortion Providers” convention in Chicago which was hosted by the Pro-Life Action League. The full text of his speech can be found here at Priests for Life.

Dr. Brewer lived in New York, one of the first states to legalize abortion before Roe versus Wade. Like many practicing OBGYNs, he considered performing abortions once they became legal.
