" this murdered child is the granddaughter of the late Candy Krueger, a once vile and mean-spirited pro-abortion escort (deathscort) who died in 2005, at the age of 51, most likely from suicide. (Candy’s cause of death has never been published to my knowledge. However, within a month prior to her death, Candy had repeatedly mentioned suicide in her arguments and verbal exchanges with pro-life volunteers, in ways that made it clear that she was thinking about suicide.)

May 9, 2013 (LiveActionNews.org) - In 1977, abortion was legal throughout the country during all nine months of pregnancy. When an obstetrician/gynecologist told teenager “Mary W” that she was 28 weeks pregnant, he suggested that she give the baby up for adoption, as few doctors in the area were willing to perform abortions that late. But Mary was determined, and she managed to find an abortionist – Dr. William Baxter Waddill. On March 2, 1977, Mary arrived at Westminster Community Hospital for a saline abortion. Saline abortions are seldom performed today because of the danger to the mother and the...

...Few crimes generate greater public reaction than neonaticide: when a mother kills her baby, or leaves it to die, on the day she gives birth. We are repelled, yet mesmerized, as details emerge. How could a woman deny being pregnant for so many months? How could no one notice? How could a mother murder her newborn? As a forensic psychologist, I have evaluated 32 mothers who were charged with killing one or more of their children. Fourteen-year-old "Cathy" was one. She had been repeatedly molested by her stepfather, gave birth alone in her bedroom, and then threw her newborn against...

Ocean City, MD (LifeNews.com) -- Officials in Maryland are beginning an investigation today into the case of a mother who allegedly killed four of her own unborn children and placed their bodies around her house. FBI agents are working with local authorities to determine how the babies died and why 37-year-old Christy Freeman kept their dead bodies.

She has already been charged in the death of a 26-week-old unborn child who was discovered under her kitchen sink last week. The...

Authorities today charged two female teenagers with kidnapping and assault, saying said they elaborately plotted to kill a Missouri woman and cut her unborn son from her womb. The plot fell apart, however, when police were called to a Blue Springs motel to check on the welfare of a pregnant woman. Lauren M. Gash, 19, of Odessa, and Alisa D. Betts, 17, of Atchison, Kan., appeared in court this afternoon and were arraigned on felony kidnapping charges. Gash, 19, also faces one count of assault. According to court documents, the suspects lured the victim into a car Monday in Clinton,...

HANAHAN, S.C. (AP) — Two small children who had been left in a hot car while their mother was at work were later found dead, their bodies in trash bags under an apartment sink, authorities said Tuesday.

BATON ROUGE, La. -- A proposal to ban nearly all abortions in Louisiana moved forward on Wednesday, despite doubts from one lawmaker that it wasn't strict enough and doubts from another that it was too strict to get through the Legislature. Sen. Ben Nevers is sponsor of the bill that would allow abortions only to save the life of the mother. Doctors found guilty of performing abortions would face up to 10 years in prison and fines of $100,000. Nevers said he understood that some lawmakers wanted exceptions in the measure to allow abortions in cases of rape and incest....

Pope John Paul II frequently and rightly denounces the "culture of death," the soil that nourishes the odious crime of abortion.The pope is correct, but here in the United States, some unlikely husbands of the culture fertilize the fetid soil: Catholics whose church condemns abortion and the very culture that sustains it.If it weren't for Catholics, for people who call themselves Christians in general, abortion would be illegal.The DemographicsSuch an assertion sounds unreasonable, but it comports with the demographics. American Catholics number 62 million, about 25% of the population. Nearly 150 members of the U.S. Congress are Catholics, including such...

The abortion industry wants Americans to think there is no harm in killing unborn children. We'll all soon discover just how hurtful it is. "Janet" slumped into a chair and raised a gun to her temple. She couldn’t even hate anymore. For a time after her abortion, that was all she could do — feel a seething, bottomless hatred for her boyfriend, Mike. She hadn’t spoken a word to him since the abortion. A suburban police officer, she fantasized about "annihilating him . . . making him beg for mercy, just as I had in the clinic." Her rage eventually...

So, 30 years later, is there really anything new to say about the abortion issue? I think so. Consider these two points: We forget how awful abortion really is. It's not just the promoters of abortion who have rationalized their approval of the practice. Even we pro-lifers can be numbed to the grim realities. Thirty years of state sanction for abortion have taken their toll on almost everyone. Something that once was hideous has now become more like halitosis or being 12 pounds overweight. It's something we know we have to deal with sooner or later, but the growing numbness...

Pro-abortion lobbies are fighting to force nurses and other health-care workers to participate in abortions. Pro-life health-care workers are fighting backFOR 10 YEARS, NO ONE SEEMED TO mind that Janice Turner was a pro-life nurse. Her job at the Women's Clinic in Marion County, Ore., included reaching out to women undergoing high-risk pregnancies, making house calls to expectant teenagers and single moms, and counseling clients on their legal options, including abortion and "emergency contraception."But Ms. Turner, a Christian who believes life begins at conception, refused to refer clients for abortion, or to dispense "morning-after pills"—the so-called "contraceptive" that actually snuffs...
