After 30 Years Late-Term Abortion Clinic Stops Surgical Abortions Killing Babies Once again proving you don’t need an abortion ban to stop abortions, a pro-life law in Ohio has successfully stopped surgical abortions at a late-term abortion clinic that couldn’t comply with the health and safety measure to protect women and unborn children.
Today, the Lebanon Road Surgery Center announced an end to its court battle to continue surgical abortions. The abortion center in question is owned and operated by Martin Haskell, the late-term abortion practitioner who popularized the partial-birth abortion method that Congress eventually banned. http://www.lifenews.com/2014/08/20/late-term-abortion-clinic-closes-down-stops-killing-babies-after-30-years/

Planned Parenthood President Uses Ferguson Situation to Push AbortionA national civil rights and violence debate is brewing because of the tenuous situation in Ferguson, Missouri. But the president of the Planned Parenthood abortion business isn’t letting an opportunity to push her pro-abortion agenda go to waste.
LifeNews blogger Ryan Bomberger has more on Cecile Richards’ latest antics: http://www.lifenews.com/2014/08/20/planned-parenthood-president-uses-ferguson-situation-to-push-abortion/
“Bioethicist” Richard Dawkins: It’s “Immoral” Not to Abort Babies With Down Syndrome Peter Singer move over. There’s a new “bioethicist” in town who has moral directives for the world: Richard Dawkins. In a Twitter rant today, Dawkins pushed the notion that it is “immoral” for parents of a baby with Down Syndrome to not kill the baby in an abortion.
Dawkins pushed the concept in a tweet criticizing Ireland’s ban on most abortions and in a conversation with someone on Twitter. http://www.lifenews.com/2014/08/20/bioethicist-richard-dawkins-its-immoral-not-to-abort-babies-with-down-syndrome/

Ice Bucket Challenge Donation Sponsor ALSA Funds Embryonic Stem Cell Research
The popularity of the #IceBucketChallenge continues on social media across the nation. This is the campaign to raise awareness about amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), often called Lou Gehrig’s Disease.
The pro-life community has a soft spot in its heart for the disabled and terminally ill. After all, they are often targeted in abortion or euthanasia. Unfortunately, as LifeNews has documented, there is a chance your donation to The ALS Association could be used to support embryonic stem cell research. http://www.lifenews.com/2014/08/20/ice-bucket-challenge-donation-sponsor-als-funds-embryonic-stem-cell-research/
Clinic Worker: 16-Year-Old Forced to Have Abortion at Planned ParenthoodIn 2010, Marianne Anderson worked at a Planned Parenthood facility in Indianapolis, Indiana. She started working there because the job was very close to her house, and she was hired to start up their conscious sedation program, which allowed clients to purchase mild to moderate sedatives to be given intravenously before an abortion.
Anderson, who is a mother of two and a grandmother of one, said when she started at the facility she was on the fence about abortion. This was because when she was on staff at Wishard Hospital in Indianapolis she had seen girls that had attempted abortions on themselves and ended up with hysterectomies, or boyfriends beating them because they were pregnant. http://www.lifenews.com/2014/08/20/clinic-worker-16-year-old-forced-to-have-abortion-at-planned-parenthood/
People Look at Me in Horror When They Learn My Daughter Was Conceived in RapeOne of the first questions I am typically asked after I share with someone that I am raising my child who was conceived when I was raped is, “Does she know yet?” — often accompanied by a look of horror.
I have learned that some regard conceiving a child conceived in rape as necessarily being shameful in itself and/or would lead to a life of fear because of the horrible crime that was committed, and that is sometimes then projected and placed on children like mine. http://www.lifenews.com/2014/08/20/people-look-at-me-in-horror-when-they-learn-my-daughter-was-conceived-in-rape/
Let’s Be Honest, The Only Goal of Abortion is a Dead BabyI wrote a couple of weeks ago about one of the major problems I have with the bodily autonomy argument: that it’s totally at odds with people’s real-life experiences with abortion. In keeping with that theme, here’s another issue I have with the bodily autonomy argument. If the bodily autonomy argument were genuine, abortion supporters would have no discomfort whatsoever with Melissa Ohden.
Who’s Melissa Ohden? I’m so glad you asked. http://www.lifenews.com/2014/08/20/lets-be-honest-the-only-goal-of-abortion-is-a-dead-baby/
