Abortionist's missed needle leads to life-changing question

A woman who, at 22 weeks pregnant, went to the Planned Parenthood in St. Paul for an abortion. She took the initial steps and returned the next day for the abortion with unidentified male and female abortionists.  The male doctor used a needle through the woman's stomach to give the baby a shot to stop its heart. “They told me he found the baby and he put the shot into him,” she says. “From what I found out later on, the baby didn't get the shot. They put the shot in the amniotic sack.” Knowing her son was still alive, she began asking questions. One was what would happen if the baby were born alive during the abortion?

“[The female abortionist] looked at him and she looked back at me,” the mother said, “and I was looking at her very puzzled, and she told me, We don't tell women this, and a lot of women don't even ask this question, but if we were to proceed with the abortion and the baby was to come out still alive and active, we most likely will break the baby's neck.”

The patient changed her mind and kept the baby.

Pro-Life Action Ministries in St. Paul suggests that the woman’s testimony in this case is ample evidence for an investigation.

Britain pledges over $200 billion on “family planning,” including access to “safe abortion”

International Development Minister Priti Patel

Thanks go out to our friends at SPUC–the Society for the Protection of Unborn Children–for alerting us today that the British government through its Department for International Development (DFID) has announced that over the next five years the UK will spend over a billion pounds (more than a billion and a half in US dollars) on “family planning” —including access to “safe abortions.”

International Development Secretary Priti Patel officially announced the plan at a major Family Planning Summit “co-hosted by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation and the UN,” the Independent reported.

Already the second biggest funder of family planning programs in the world, Britain has given abortion provider Marie Stopes International alone well over $200 million in the past five years. “This is despite a recent ComRes poll showing that 65% of the public oppose UK taxpayer money being spent on abortions overseas.” SPUC noted.

California AG Follows Through on Threat, Re-Files Charges vs. Undercover Investigators

California Attorney General Xavier Becerra

As previously threatened, California’s Attorney General is continuing his crusade to defend the abortion industry against incriminating information, filing new charges Thursday night against undercover reporters David Daleiden and Sandra Merritt of the Center for Medical Progress.

First reported by the San Francisco Chronicle, Attorney General Xavier Becerra filed the new charges after a June 21 decision where a judge suspended 14 of 15 charges Becerra had filed against Daleiden and Merritt.

This time, Becerra is coming after Daleiden and Merritt on more specific invasion of privacy charges, accusing the pair of illegally recording conversations where high-ranking officials—including Planned Parenthood’s Director of Medical Services—were caught on camera a bartering over the price of body parts harvested from aborted babies.

Judge demands ‘drastic’ evidence or he’ll force Charlie Gard off life support this week

At a preliminary hearing today, a UK judge agreed to hear new evidence in Charlie Gard's case on Thursday. His parents have 48 hours – until 2:00 p.m. on Wednesday – to provide this evidence to the court.

After worldwide outcry, including from Pope Francis and President Trump, Great Ormond Street Hospital asked the High Court to reconsider "fresh evidence" in the case. However, it maintains its stance that Charlie should be removed from life support against his parents' wishes.

Campaign promotes dangerous, illegal plan to increase ‘at-home abortions’

Pro-abortion advocates are promoting dangerous at-home abortions without the supervision of a doctor despite evidence that women have died from taking the drugs.

Francine Coeytaux did an online search for “abortion pills” and obtained body-altering chemicals that only doctors are allowed to administer to women wanting to abort their baby.  She taught others how to do the same to demonstrate how abortions can be done at-home without going to a physician.

Emily’s baby almost died in the womb… but this app made all the difference

The “Count the Kicks” App enables moms to monitor the kicks and other movements of their babies in the third trimester. Emily Eekhoff found the app useful when she was pregnant with her son, Liam, and so the she downloaded it again when she was seven months along with her next baby.  During Week 33, the app noted that the baby wasn’t moving as often as usual. That made Emily nervous.

Emily went to Mercy Hospital in Des Moines and discovered that her baby was in trouble. An umbilical cord had wrapped itself three times around the infant’s neck. Little Ruby was promptly delivered by an emergency C-section. Emily credits the app for saving her baby’s life.

City of Liverpool, England, shows its solidarity with Charlie Gard

The longer the titanic battle to save little Charlie Gard goes on, the more support there is to “allow” his parents, Connie Yates and Chris Gard, to take him out of a London Hospital , which believes he is better off dead , and take the 11-month-old boy to Columbia Hospital in the United States for experimental therapy.

President Donald Trump and Pope Francis are tweeting their support of the parents’ right to make medical decisions for Charlie, who suffers from a rare and debilitating chromosomal condition in which his cells cannot replenish essential energy. There has been some success in the United States using a natural compound, orally administered.

Now the city of Liverpool is showing its solidarity.

“A number of Liverpool city centre landmarks will be lit up blue tomorrow night to support Charlie Gard and his family,” according to Jenny Kirkham of The Liverpool Echo. “Tomorrow, a group of supporters will gather at midday for a peaceful demonstration at the waterfront in the hope of raising awareness of Charlie’s fight before a number of significant Liverpool buildings are lit up blue.”

Kirkham reports that the driving force is Christiana Byrne. She contacted the Liverpool City Council about getting behind Charlie.

“It’s amazing to see people supporting Charlie’s cause,” Byrne told the Echo. “We want more people to become aware of the struggles Charlie’s family are facing and hopefully with more awareness, Charlie will be allowed to go to America.” Byrne added

Google censoring pro-life facts to help abortionists

Operation Rescue operates a website called “Abortions in America,” which reveals a considerable amount of information on abortion in the United States. The resource is used by the general public and researchers to obtain accurate facts.

Operation Rescue President Troy Newman maintains that Abortions in America was a very popular website.

“But Google has censored this page,” Newman asserted. “Just after January, we noticed a huge reduction in the number of Web hits, and all those Web hits come from Google searches, so apparently people across the world were literally googling abortions in the United States – or abortions in America – and landing directly on our page as being very high up in the search parameters.”

Illinois law requires pro-life doctors to discuss ‘benefits’ of abortion

I have predicted that “medical conscience” will become a huge social controversy in the next decade, as culture of death proponents seek to force pro-life and Hippocratic Oath-believing doctors out of medicine by compelling them to be complicit in life-taking acts such as abortion and assisted suicide.

I just learned that a law enacted last year in Illinois compels doctors to counsel patients about the “benefits” of all legal medical procedures – the prime target is pro-life doctors about abortion, but it is not limited to that – and if unwilling to do the deed, to become complicity by helping patient find a doctor who will.

New UN Database Pressures Countries on Abortion

The World Health Organization has launched a new interactive database on global abortion laws and policies, aimed to pressuring countries to conform their abortion laws to the recommendations of UN agencies and bureaucrats.

The WHO database is explicitly political, using a controversial technical and policy guidance on “safe abortion” it published in 2012 that calls on countries to decriminalize abortion as if this were an internationally agreed target or a human rights obligation, which it is not.

Pro-lifer's attempt to disqualify judge falls short

Daleiden's legal team sought to have Federal Judge William Orrick removed from his trial because of his association with an organization that hosted a Planned Parenthood clinic on site, and because of unfavorable social media comments by his wife. Judge James Donato conducted a hearing on the case and has ruled Orrick will not be removed, saying that Daleiden's group – The Center for Medical Progress – presented no evidence that would call Orrick's impartiality into question.

Alexandra Snyder of Life Legal Defense Foundation is defending Daleiden.

"The hearing itself was rather troubling [because] it is difficult, especially in federal court, to have one federal judge rule that another should be disqualified," she tells OneNewsNow. "That is a difficult thing, but we were disappointed in the outcome."

Orrick also accused Daleiden of contempt of court for releasing an undercover video recording. No date has yet been set for that hearing.

Beware this abortion propaganda masquerading as a defund Planned Parenthood petition

Three ad agency employees launched defundpppetition.com, which asks users to sign a petition defunding Planned Parenthood. Users are to select the "services you would like to defund."  "But it's actually a bait," explains Business Insider. "The website is designed to educate people about Planned Parenthood’s various offerings."

Clicking on "defund abortion" results in a red message: "NO government funding has gone towards abortions since 1976 so you can’t defund them."  Sure, the federal money Planned Parenthood receives can't technically fund most abortions. But it can keep the lights on. And help with overhead costs. And pay staff who do abortions. And pay for lots of other things that keep the abortion business afloat.

Vision 2020 - Week 21 - Rep. Jeanne M Ives (R) and Rep. Christine Winger (R)

Recently, I heard a pastor tell the story of a United States Senator.  The Senator told the pastor, "I feel like the church prayed me into this Senate seat but now they have left me to do the job on my own."

Have we, God's people, done just that?  Have we prayed that God would put Godly men and women in our city, county, state and federal government offices and then failed to cover them in prayer?

Perhaps it's time to renew our commitment to pray for them!

Will you join us in praying that God will give our Godly leaders boldness and courageous to fight courageously each day for a government that honors God in their words and their deeds?

Will you step up to be a guardian of our cities and our state?  Will you be the watchman on the wall?  Will you be the prayer warrior and the superhero that Illinois is so greatly in need of today?

UN Women steps up efforts to promote abortion worldwide

UN Women’s new draft strategic plan signals a change of focus for the agency from consensual policies to possibly promoting abortion among other controversial social policies. The agency’s leadership expressed no intention of backing down.

The Executive Board of the agency is reviewing a draft strategic plan for the next three years. The draft plan has an outsized focus on reproductive health and for the first time also focused on reproductive rights. It indicates that UN Women may attempt to set itself up with a mandate to promote abortion and to lobby to change abortion laws.
