Hercules Actor Kevin Sorbo is Proudly Pro-Life: “Never Forget the Babies Slaughtered” by Abortion
Kevin Sorbo, is an American actor best known for the roles of Hercules and playing Captain Dylan Hunt in Andromeda. His characters are certainly not ashamed to take a leadership role and Sorbo, when it comes to abortion isn’t afraid to be outspokenly pro-life.

Sorbo recently tweeted his support for the new Gosnell Movie that will profile the gruesome late-term abortion practitioner. He’s followed that up with interviews about his views on pro-life issues. http://www.lifenews.com/2014/04/04/hercules-actor-kevin-sorbo-is-proudly-pro-life-never-forget-the-babies-slaughtered-by-abortion/

“I heard them tell my girlfriend and my relatives that there was no hope,” Jimi Fritze, 43, told The Daily Telegraph. “I couldn’t do anything. I could only see and hear. I couldn’t move my body.” http://www.lifenews.com/2014/04/04/paralyzed-stroke-victim-listened-helplessly-as-doctors-discussed-organ-donation/

Mom Gives Birth in Her Driveway and Didn’t Even Know She Was Pregnant
I remember vividly how it felt to be pregnant. Probably because it was only nine months ago but especially because my daughter decided to wait 13 days (yes, 13 days) past her due date. Finally, after being in pre-labor for a day and active labor for another 10 hours, she was born and it was great.

That wasn’t how pregnancy, labor and delivery went for Jennifer Scollin. She didn’t even know she was pregnant. She thought she had a stomach bug! http://www.lifenews.com/2014/04/04/mom-gives-birth-in-her-driveway-and-didnt-even-know-she-was-pregnant/

Video Celebrates Mom With Cancer Who Refused Abortion, Gave Her Life for Her Baby
Last month, Elizabeth Joice, a strong woman, beautiful wife, and courageous mother, died after a roller coaster ride with cancer, leaving behind her husband and beautiful newborn daughter. Joice began an arduous regimen of cancer treatments after learning that she had a malignant tumor in 2010.

It took surgery and four rounds of chemotherapy, but she beat the cancer – and predictions that she would not be able to get pregnant after treatment. Last year, the couple received the hoped-for news that they were pregnant, and shortly thereafter the dreaded news that Elizabeth’s cancer had returned. http://www.lifenews.com/2014/04/04/video-celebrates-mom-with-cancer-who-refused-abortion-gave-her-life-for-her-baby/

These Hollywood Celebrities Aren’t Afraid to Speak Out and Say They’re Pro-Life
It’s not easy being pro-life in Hollywood. Tinseltown USA is notorious for its left-wing politics and actors and actresses who push all sorts of political causes that are politically correct or en vogue at the time.

But when it comes to abortion, a few Hollywood celebrities and entertainment icons are willing to speak out and say they are pro-life. Here are a few of them, in their own words: . http://www.lifenews.com/2014/04/04/these-hollywood-celebrities-arent-afraid-to-speak-out-and-say-theyre-pro-life/

Former Abortion Doctor on Why He Quit: When I Had to Count Babies’ Arms and Legs, It Hit Me
Dr. David Brewer is a former abortionist who spoke at the “Meet the Abortion Providers” convention in Chicago which was hosted by the Pro-Life Action League. The full text of his speech can be found here at Priests for Life.

Dr. Brewer lived in New York, one of the first states to legalize abortion before Roe versus Wade. Like many practicing OBGYNs, he considered performing abortions once they became legal. At the time, Dr. Brewer described himself as having “no real convictions [on abortion], caught in the middle.” http://www.lifenews.com/2014/04/04/former-abortion-doctor-on-why-he-quit-when-i-had-to-count-babies-arms-and-legs-it-hit-me/

Tweetfest Will Demand Harry Reid Allow Vote to Ban Abortions on Babies Who Feel Pain
I’m sure you’re as outraged as I am about what happened in West Virginia. http://www.lifenews.com/2014/04/04/tweetfest-will-demand-harry-reid-allow-vote-to-ban-abortions-on-babies-who-feel-pain/

You Won’t Believe This Mom’s Incredible Joy as She Holds her Premature Baby for the First Time
In nations around the world, and in the United States, it’s legal to kill unborn babies in abortions late in pregnancy. emilycresseyUnborn children after the point of viability are not protected under the law from abortions in many states in the U.S. http://www.lifenews.com/2014/04/04/you-wont-believe-this-moms-incredible-joy-as-she-holds-her-premature-baby-for-the-first-time/

Gosnell Movie Campaign Earns $300,000 in Just Five Days
Filmmakers Phelim McAleer and Ann McElhinney, along with journalist Magdalena Segieda, launched their ambitious new project this week, Gosnell: The Movie, in hopes of exposing the country’s biggest serial killer, ‘House of Horrors’ abortionist Kermit Gosnell. http://www.lifenews.com/2014/04/04/gosnell-movie-campaign-earns-300000-in-just-five-days/

Pro-Abortion Blog: Aborting Disabled Babies is “Doing God’s Work”
No one wants to have an abortion. That’s what they say, right? Abortion activists insist that no woman ever wants to have an abortion — they just end up in circumstances which necessitate one. http://www.lifenews.com/2014/04/04/pro-abortion-blog-aborting-disabled-babies-is-doing-gods-work/

“We Changed Our Mind About Abortion, Decided to Keep Our Baby Because You Were Praying”
Jesus said whenever two or three are gathered in His name, He is with them. Lately, it’s been whenever two or three with umbrellas are gathered. http://www.lifenews.com/2014/04/04/we-changed-our-mind-about-abortion-decided-to-keep-our-baby-because-you-were-praying/

Abortion Activists Celebrate April as “Abortion Wellbeing Month”
The unintentional irony—tragedy, really—of the graphic that accompanied the celebration of April as “Abortion Wellbeing Month” is hard to miss: two hands grasping each another with “You are” written on one and “Not alone,” on the other. http://www.lifenews.com/2014/04/04/abortion-activists-celebrate-april-as-abortion-wellbeing-month/

Kickstarter Funded “After Tiller” Movie Promoting Late-Term Abortionists, Rejected Gosnell Movie
Talk about blatant bias.
