Couple Who Aborted Baby After They Were Misinformed of Potential Disability Lose Lawsuit A couple who had an abortion and filed a lawsuit after a doctor informed them tests showed their unborn child would be disabled will not win damages.
The pro-life community often condemns wrongful birth or wrongful life lawsuits — filed by couples who are upset they did not know their unborn baby would have some sort of physical or mental disability and who would have had an abortion had they known. Such lawsuits show a lack of regard and respect for human life, even if “imperfect” from what an expecting couple would hope for with their baby. http://www.lifenews.com/2014/02/20/couple-who-aborted-baby-after-they-were-misinformed-of-potential-disability-lose-lawsuit/

More Black Babies Die in Abortions in New York City Than Given BirthThe good news in New York City, often referred to as the abortion capital of America, is that the abortion rate is under 40% for the first time in decades.
But CNS News indicates there is some bad news as well — namely, that more black babies are killed in abortions than given birth. In 2012, there were more black babies killed by abortion (31,328) in New York City than were born there (24,758), and the black children killed comprised 42.4% of the total number of abortions in the Big Apple, according to a report by the New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene. http://www.lifenews.com/2014/02/20/more-black-babies-die-in-abortions-new-york-city-than-given-birth/
American College of Pediatricians Blasts Belgium for Legalizing Child EuthanasiaWhile the Belgian media seems genuinely perplexed why much of the rest of the world is shocked by its new policy making children eligible for euthanasia, until today I hadn’t read a response from any part of the American Medical Establishment.
What did the pillars of medicine here in the United States think about a nation so out of control that barely half of the assisted deaths in the Flemish region of Belgium were reported yet would brazenly double down and go after helpless children? http://www.lifenews.com/2014/02/20/american-college-of-pediatricians-blasts-belgium-for-legalizing-child-euthanasia/

Father Nik Richie Writes Heartfelt Letter to His Unborn Son After Baby’s Tragic Death
Internet writer and celeb Nik Richie has penned a beautiful letter to his unborn son, who died tragically after he and his ex-wife Shayne Lamas tragically lost their unborn child. The former couple tragically lost their 20-week-old unborn baby last week after Richie, a former Bachelor star, suffered a rare pregnancy complication.
According to TMZ, Lamaz underwent an emergency hysterectomy to save her life and stop the massive bleeding but the baby died in the process. http://www.lifenews.com/2014/02/20/father-nik-richie-writes-heartfelt-letter-to-his-unborn-son-after-babys-tragic-death/



Nurse Fired for Refusing to Assist Abortions Fights for Her Rights In 2011, the European Council adopted a resolution that protects healthcare workers’ right to freedom of conscience regarding abortion and euthanasia. Sweden has signed this agreement. But reality paints a different picture. Out of the 47 member states in the European Council, Finland and Sweden are the only two which do not uphold freedom of conscience in practice.
Ellinor Grimmark, 37, is the first midwife in Sweden to report a hospital to the Discrimination Ombudsman (DO) concerning abortion. http://www.lifenews.com/2014/02/20/nurse-fired-for-refusing-to-assist-abortions-fight-for-her-rights/
Abortion and The Heart Cases: I Am Not The Rapist’s ChildWow! I hate that phrase. “Rapist’s child”, “rapist’s baby”, “rape baby”, or “product of rape”—all equally despicable, yet intentional, pejoratives used by abortion activists to debase those conceived in such horrid violence. As if these revilers had any control over the circumstances of their own conception, they stand as judge and executioner of human beings with the exact same cellular makeup.
Do we refer to children as the “drug dealer’s child” or the “adulterer’s child?” President Obama’s alcoholic father was married multiple times. In fact, his NOT-THE-RAPISTS-CHILD-FBfather was married to two different women concurrently. Do we call Obama the “bigamist’s child” or the “alcoholic’s child”? http://www.lifenews.com/2014/02/20/the-heart-cases-i-am-not-the-rapists-child-dont-abort-me/


Although I’m Agnostic, I’m Proudly Pro-LifeIn a 2010 survey, Americans stated that the group of people that they trust the least is people of no religion. The study went on to say that Americans see irreligion as more suspect than other controversial lifestyles, including homosexuality. In this less than welcoming climate, it is easy to see how, for some young people, opening up about their lack of faith is to akin to coming out of the closet, so to speak.
Being an atheist or agnostic in America isn’t the easiest of tasks. Likewise being a pro-life college student on a campus where the key age demographic (18-24) accounts for 44 percent of abortions performed isn’t a cake walk either. Yet I remain steadfastly pro-life and agnostic; as one secular person I know has described it, we are a minority within a minority. http://www.lifenews.com/2014/02/20/although-im-agnostic-im-proudly-pro-life/

Indiana Abortionists Can Hide Whether They’re Breaking State Law Senate Bill 292, a bill that would have required abortionists in Indiana to provide the Indiana State Department of Health with written verification that they either have hospital admitting privileges, or an agreement with a doctor who has local hospital admitting privileges, has died in the Indiana House controlled by a Republican supermajority. http://www.lifenews.com/2014/02/20/indiana-abortionists-can-hide-whether-theyre-following-state-law/
