Sudan Court Will Free Meriam Ibrahim, Sentenced to Death for Her Christian Faith Reports today indicate the Sudan court has reversed itself and will free Meriam Ibraham, the pregnant Christian woman jailed and sentenced to be flogged and hanged for her Christian faith. Meriam was later forced to give birth in chains in a Sudanese prison as she awaited a death sentence ad brutal flogging by Muslim officials.
“The appeal court ordered the release of Mariam Yahya [Ibrahim] and the cancellation of the [previous] court ruling,” Sudan’s SUNA news agency said on Monday. http://www.lifenews.com/2014/06/23/sudan-court-will-free-meriam-ibrahim-sentenced-to-death-for-her-christian-faith/

Presbyterian Church USA Defeats Motion to Care for Babies Born Alive After AbortionThe Presbyterian Church USA has voted to endorse Kermit Gosnell. Delegates meeting in Detroit at the 221st General Assembly of the 1.8 million–member Presbyterian Church (USA) voted down a measure that would have the church endorse care for babies born alive after abortions.
From World Magazine: Also Thursday, 78 percent of the PCUSA General Assembly struck down a resolution condemning the killing of babies born alive during abortions, as occurred with notorious abortionist Kermit Gosnell. Initiated by the South Alabama presbytery, it called for inclusion of pro-life Presbyterians and an investigation into doctrinal and financial support of abortion. http://www.lifenews.com/2014/06/23/presbyterian-church-usa-defeats-motion-to-care-for-babies-born-alive-after-abortion/
Doctors Offer Free Surgery for Girl Kicked Out of KFC Restaurant Over Scars on Her Face Remember the little girl who was in the news recently because she was kicked out of a KFC restaurant after customers were “freaked out” about the scarring on her face from a vicious dog attack?

How Can Atheists and Agnostics Possibly be Pro-Life on Abortion?
I’ve had a few Christian pro-life friends of mine (kindly) tell me they don’t really understand how a secularist can defend the pro-life position. Sure, they get that we don’t need religion to understand fetal development, and we don’t need to believe in a god to recognize that abortion is violence. But they trip over how a secularist could defend the pro-life view on a metaphysical level. Why should secularists care about fetal development or the violence of abortion? What transcendent reason do we have to care about human life in the first place?
In other words, these Christian pro-life friends of mine want to know how I, as a secularist, can truly defend the pro-life position without the Imago Dei. http://www.lifenews.com/2014/06/23/how-can-atheists-and-agnostics-possibly-be-pro-life-on-abortion/
She Was Attacked for Not Aborting Her Baby With No Eyes, Now He’s Had a Miracle SurgeryLifeNews printed a story last year about an amazing mom and her awesome son, Christian. When Lacey was pregnant with Christian he was diagnosed with fetal abnormalities. christian7Lacey and her husband didn’t even know if Christian would survive until birth. Christian survived the pregnancy and was born with no eyes and a cleft palate.
We reported on the story last year because a lot of offensive comments were being made about children with disabilities. http://www.lifenews.com/2014/06/23/she-was-attacked-for-not-aborting-her-baby-with-no-eyes-now-hes-had-a-miracle-surgery/
There is No Such Thing as a “Pro-Choice” ChristianWhat if I told you that I believe it’s OK to physically abuse your household pets?
Hold on. Don’t jump on my case about it. I’m saying it’s acceptable to torture and torment pets — but only pets. And only your own pets. You certainly can’t go around drop kicking, headbutting, or piledriving your neighbor’s dog, but your dog is a different story. http://www.lifenews.com/2014/06/23/there-is-no-such-thing-as-a-pro-choice-christian/
Mommy Blogger Charged With Poisoning 5-Year-Old Son to Death for More Blog TrafficGarnett Spears died at the young age of five years old in January, six days after he had been rushed to the hospital. His sodium levels had risen, though there was no medical explanation.
But this last hospital stay was hardly Garnett’s only one. From when he was first born, he was in and out of the hospital, his first visit when he was five days old and bleeding from an ear infection. He even was on feeding tubes for most of his life. And so, his mother, Lacey Spears, began to blog, to share her son’s illness with readers who would listen, in order to gain support, and also, attention. And she may have gone so far as to kill her own son to achieve such attention. http://www.lifenews.com/2014/06/23/mommy-blogger-charged-with-poisoning-5-year-old-son-to-death-for-more-blog-traffic/
