Ted Cruz to President Obama: Demand the Release of Meriam Ibrahim Senator Ted Cruz delivered a message to President Barack Obama yesterday during his speech at the Road to Majority Conference Thursday afternoon: demand the release of Meriam Ibraham. His speech follows on the heels of a large rally outside the White House that he and pro-life groups led.

Their “Rescuing Hug” Stunned the World, Now the Twins Are All Grown UpWhen preemie twins Brielle and Kyrie Jackson were born, doctors weren’t sure they’d make it, until a smart nurse placed the girls together in one incubator.
These iconic twins were born 12 weeks premature in 1995. They’re lying on their bellies, and the slightly larger baby has her stick-thin arm around her sister. One baby was not expected to live, hospital nurse fought to put them in the same incubator. http://www.lifenews.com/2014/06/20/their-rescuing-hug-stunned-the-world-now-the-twins-are-all-grown-up/

Miracle Twins Could Have Died Before Birth, But This HappenedMiracle twins Mackenzie and Anna were born at 24 weeks of pregnancy, but they almost didn’t make it here.
Shortly after the twins’ mother, Lauren Lawton, learned she was pregnant, she learned the girls shared a placenta. That meant one twin was getting too much blood and the other was getting too little. There was a possibility that, as the weeks progressed, the medical condition could claim one or both twins. http://www.lifenews.com/2014/06/20/miracle-twins-could-have-died-before-birth-but-this-happened/
MSNBC Host: Pro-Lifers are “Violent,” Put Abortion Backers’ “Physical Safety” at RiskThursday afternoon’s The Cycle plugged the recently released “abortion rom-com” Obvious Child by interviewing the film’s screenwriter and director Gillian Robespierre and lead actress Jenny Slate.

When “Obvious Child” hit theaters this month, conservatives were aghast the media glorified it – without irony – as an “abortion romantic comedy.” Liberals lashed back, claiming, like the movie’s Director Gillian Robespierre, that “[Conservatives bashing Obvious Child] haven’t seen the movie; they’re basing it on articles and trailers.” http://www.lifenews.com/2014/06/20/i-saw-the-abortion-comedy-obvious-child-still-nothing-funny-about-killing-a-baby/
