“Brain Dead” Teenager Awakens From Coma After Her Family Sings Hymns
LifeNews has repeatedly chronicled cases of people who were prematurely declared dead or said to be in supposedly persistent vegetative states who ultimately recovered.

Now comes the story of Lexi Hansen, a BYU student who suffered critical head injuries last week after being hit by a car. Hansen, 18, was alert and breathing on her own Tuesday, though she was still listed in critical but stable condition. She even tried to get out of her hospital bed. While she has a long road to recovery ahead, her family believes they have witnessed a miracle. http://www.lifenews.com/2014/03/10/brain-dead-teenager-awakes-from-coma-after-her-family-sings-hymns/

44 Babies Saved From Abortion So Far During 40 Days for Life Campaign
It wasn’t long into this campaign before we got word of the first turnaround outside an abortion center. And so far, we have reports of 44 babies saved from abortion – that we know of!

It takes faith and courage to pray and stand witness in front of an abortion facility. Some say it is a waste of time – but I beg to differ … and so do the moms who turn around at the last moment. God has not forgotten them … and neither should we. http://www.lifenews.com/2014/03/10/44-babies-saved-from-abortion-so-far-during-40-days-for-life-campaign/

Newborn Baby Girl Begins Breathing on Her Own After Doctors Declare Her “Dead”
The parents of a newborn girl who doctors declared “dead” but who later started breathing on her own are rejoicing today in Halifax, Canada. The mother of the little girl is thanking God and calling what transpired a miracle.

Robin Cyr’s fourth child became wedged in the birth canal during labour Saturday and for 25 minutes after she was born, doctors and nurses watched for any sign of life, the Truro Daily News reported. http://www.lifenews.com/2014/03/10/newborn-baby-girl-begins-breathing-on-her-own-after-doctors-declare-her-dead/

Picture of Baby Miscarried at 12 Weeks Saves Unborn Baby From Abortion
When LifeNews featured the story of Baby Noah, who died from a spontaneous miscarriage on February 20th, 2014, the image went viral as pro-life people shared it with friends and family. Noah’s mother, Lara, named him Noah because it means “rest” and “peace.”

Kristen Benfield is one of the pro-life people who shared the moving image of little Noah, who unfortunately lost his life before he ever had a chance to live one day outside of his mother’s womb. http://www.lifenews.com/2014/03/10/picture-of-baby-miscarried-at-12-weeks-saves-unborn-baby-from-abortion/




Rand Paul Wins Straw Poll at Conservative CPAC Event, Ted Cruz Second
Rand Paul, the pro-life Republican senator from Kentucky finished in first place in the weekend star poll held at CPAC, a national conference for conservative activists. Ted Cruz finished in second place.

The CPAC conference is often dominated by conservatives with more libertarian viewpoints as well as college students and young adults who tend to, unlike most Republican voters, favor firebrands like Paul over potential 2016 presidential candidates like governors Chris Christie, Rick Perry, Bobby Jindal or Scott Walker. http://www.lifenews.com/2014/03/09/rand-paul-wins-straw-poll-at-conservative-cpac-event-ted-cruz-second/

Abortion Activists Declare “State of Emergency” After Spate of Clinic Closings
A March 6 New York Times article, “Abortion law pushes Texas clinics to close doors,” included a slide show, “Last day for last abortion clinic in the Rio Grande,” referring to one of two Texas abortion mills that closed that day.

According to Think Progress, the number of abortion clinics is Texas is down to 19, from 44 as recently as 2011. By September 1 there could be as few as six abortion clinics in the state that meet the new ambulatory surgical center guidelines, hence a “state of emergency” for the lack of access to murder babies. http://www.lifenews.com/2014/03/10/abortion-activists-declare-state-of-emergency-after-spate-of-clinic-closings/



Hang Up the Hangers: Time to Stop the Illegal Abortion Myths and Lies
I love it when a pro-abortion mantra is proven to be a blatant lie. It’s especially gratifying when the source of the lie dispels its own myth.

Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the perpetually self-contradicting world of Planned Parenthood. The billion-dollar abortion giant tells huge lies all the time (I call it mythomania). They mask their gender control agenda under the guise of “rights” and “reproductive health”, asserting their power over the grossly (or willingly) misinformed. http://www.lifenews.com/2014/03/10/hang-up-the-hangers-time-to-stop-the-illegal-abortion-myths-and-lies/

Amnesty International Launches New Campaign to Push Abortion Worldwide
Amnesty International has been under fire for years for its pro-abortion positions and now the venerable human rights group is launching a new global effort to push abortion on a worldwide scale. http://www.lifenews.com/2014/03/10/amnesty-international-launches-new-campaign-to-push-abortion-worldwide/

West Virginia Legislature Passes Bill Banning Abortions After 20 Weeks

Saturday Night Live Attacks Pro-Lifers: Bad Guys Who Shut Down Abortion Clinics
Saturday Night Live this week included a skit that portrayed people who shut down Planned Parenthood Clinics as bad men who had their heart broken by some girl when they were 18 and never got over it. http://www.lifenews.com/2014/03/10/saturday-night-live-attacks-pro-lifers-bad-guys-who-shut-down-abortion-clinics/



Planned Parenthood Injures Two Women in Abortions, Armored Car Picks Up Cash Afterwards
Pro-life Wisconsin is reporting that Last Tuesday, March 4, sidewalk counselors outside the Planned Parenthood in Madison witnessed a wounded woman being taken from the clinic to an ambulance. http://www.lifenews.com/2014/03/10/planned-parenthood-injures-two-women-in-abortions-armored-car-picks-up-cash-afterwards/

Activists Urge Women to Thank Their Abortion Doctor Today for Killing Their Baby

Remembering When a White Couple Tried to Force Their Daughter to Abort a Black Baby
Last week Alabama State Rep. Alvin Holmes (D-Montgomery) brought race into an abortion debate in Alabama, claiming whites may think twice about abortion if a black man impregnated their daughter. http://www.lifenews.com/2014/03/10/remembering-when-a-white-couple-tried-to-force-their-daughter-to-abort-a-black-baby/
