Obama Admin May Try to Break Law to Directly Fund Abortions Overseas The Friday Fax has learned that the Obama administration may try to circumvent the long-standing Helm’s Amendment and allow for taxpayer-funded abortions overseas.
The change has not been made yet as the administration is trying to figure out how best to go about what could be a highly controversial change to the U.S. law which has stood for almost half a century.

Congresswoman’s Miracle Baby Doing Well Nine Months After Doctors Said She’d DieWhen she was pregnant with her daughter Abigail Rose Beutler, doctors told Congresswoman Jaime Herrera Beutler, a pro-life Republican from Washington state, that her baby had a potentially fatal diagnosis that would claim her life shortly after birth.
Beutler posted a message on Facebook last June saying her unborn child had been diagnosed with Potter’s Syndrome, a condition which prevents the child’s kidneys from developing properly and is typically fatal for the baby. http://www.lifenews.com/2014/05/15/congresswomans-miracle-baby-doing-well-nine-months-after-doctors-said-shed-die/
They Didn’t Tell Me When I Adopted Him That He’d Die Soon, But it Didn’t MatterI’ve said from the beginning that God kept much of Elijah’s diagnosis from me until we got to the States because I wouldn’t have picked our family as his. I would have used countless excuses and reasoned away why we weren’t a good fit for him. I am so incredibly grateful that I didn’t. I’m thankful that we didn’t reason away the incredible gift God gave us through our son.
On the day of his shunt surgery, we found out that Elijah had a rare condition in which his hydrocephalus was combined with the fact that large parts of his brain were missing. http://www.lifenews.com/2014/05/15/they-didnt-tell-me-when-i-adopted-him-that-hed-die-soon-but-it-didnt-matter/
Couple Prays to Adopt Baby With Down Syndrome, Watch Them Meet Their Beautiful Daughter
When was the last time one of your expecting friends said to you: “I hope this baby has Down syndrome?” …awkward silence…
You’ve probably never, ever heard that before, but now, you have. Andy and Mercedes Lara said that to their parents one day. Except they weren’t having a baby the “traditional” way. They felt called to adopt and not to adopt a “normal” baby but one with Down syndrome. http://www.lifenews.com/2014/05/15/couple-prays-to-adopt-baby-with-down-syndrome-watch-them-meet-their-beautiful-daughter/
Belgium Euthanasia Doctor Visits Nazi Death Camp, Why? You’ll Be as Shocked as UsThe leading practitioner of euthanasia in Belgium, Dr Wim Distelmans, is organizing an instructional tour to Auschwitz, the Nazi extermination camp. In ’an invitation for a study trip for healthcare professionals,’ he describes Auschwitz as an ‘inspiring’ surrounding in which to ‘clarify confusion about euthanasia’.
In fact, Dr Distelmans’s tour does help to clarify matters: it shows that how little distance there is between Belgian euthanasia in 2014 and Nazi death camps in 1944. http://www.lifenews.com/2014/05/15/belgium-euthanasia-doctor-visits-nazi-death-camp-why-youll-be-as-shocked-as-us/
What Jim Caviezel Said To Women Who Had Abortions Made Him Break Down and Cry“The Passion of the Christ” actor Jim Caviezel has a message about God’s mercy and grace — especially for women who have had abortions. Prepare to be changed.
Caviezel, famed for his role as Christ in The Passion of the Christ, and currently starring as the leading man in TV’s Person of Interest, is no stranger to being, well, different in Hollywood. From his publicly Catholic faith to his committed pro-life views, he stands in stark contrast to the typical movie star. http://www.lifenews.com/2014/05/15/what-jim-caviezel-said-to-women-who-had-abortions-made-him-break-down-and-cry/


Democratic Party Chair: “Wrong” to Punish Men Who Force Women to Have AbortionDebbie Wasserman Schulz is at it again. The chair of the national Democratic Party says a bill to punish men who force their partners to have abortions is “wrong” and “senseless.”

Washington Post Can’t Figure Out Life Begins at Conception, Asks Pro-Abortion Doctors to Help The Washington Post can’t figure out human life begins at conception.
