Pope Francis: Say yes to life, not death
Posted by yearoffaithadmin on Monday, June 17, 2013 (Vatican Radio) “Let us say ‘Yes’ to life and not death.” These were the words of Pope Francis during his homily on Sunday morning for Evangelium Vitae Day, a day celebrating the Gospel of Life. An estimated 200,000 people were in Saint Peter’s Square for Holy Mass and the Angelus that followed with Pope Francis to mark the Year of Faith event dedicated to the Gospel of Life. In his homily, the Pope noted how the Scriptures continuously tell us how God is the Living One who bestows life. However, he said that “all…
House Committee Passes Bill Banning Abortions at 20 Weeks of Pregnancy
by Steven Ertelt | Washington, DC | LifeNews.com | 6/12/13 1:37 PM With Republicans supporting it and Democrats opposed, a House committee has passed a bill that would ban abortions nationwide at 20 weeks of pregnancy. Much of the debate focused on weaking amendments by Democrats who hoped to gut the bill and allow late-term abortions in cases to protect a woman’s health — even though abortions after 20 weeks are not necessary for health reasons and would allow virtually all late-term abortions to remain legal. The committee passed the bill on a 20-12 vote and the measure now heads…

BY PETER BAKLINSKI OTTAWA, Ontario, June 11, 2013 (LifeSiteNews.com) – Third generation birth control pills produced by the massive drug company Bayer have been linked to the deaths of at least 23 Canadian women since 2007, one of them as young as 14. A Health Canada document reveals that many of the victims who were taking the top-selling birth control pills Yaz and Yasmin died suddenly and unexpectedly from blood clots, a known risk factor for the pill. The pills contain drospirenone, Bayer’s unique formulation of synthetic progestin. 18-year-old Miranda Scott of Delta, B.C. was taking Yasmin when she suddenly collapsed three years…
Child euthanasia is coming to Belgium
BY WESLEY J. SMITH Child euthanasia: It’s all over but the final voting in Belgium as the Parliament agrees across party lines that doctors should be able to euthanize children. From the Presseurop story: In the wake of several months of testimony from doctors and experts in medical ethics, a Belgian Senate committee will on June 12 examine the possible extension of the country’s euthanasia law to include children. “On both sides of the linguistic border, liberals and socialists appear to agree on the fact that age should not be regarded as a decisive criteria in the event of a request for euthanasia,”De Morgen.

Stories From the Abortion Clinic: Tales of Sidewalk Counseling
by Jennie Stone | Washington, DC | LifeNews.com | 6/10/12 12:57 PM Most of the time you sidewalk counsel, patients ignore you both entering and leaving the clinic. Other times, they do react to you…but not always in the way you hope. You encounter all different kinds of people and situations outside the abortion clinics, and this weekend proved just that. Some weekends are just harder than others. These are just some sporadic tidbits from my sidewalk counseling last weekend. We do not always see the fruits of our labor right away. Friday, June 1, 9:00am I had arrived at the…

Girl Scouts USA Pushes Video Honoring Pro-Abortion Activists
by Mary Hasson | Washington, DC | LifeNews.com | 6/5/13 3:51 PM It’s hard to find two women more pro-abortion than Marlo Thomas and Amy Richards. But the Girl Scouts love ‘em. These two feminists headlined a recent Girl Scout-sponsored live screening and panel discussion of the “acclaimed documentary MAKERS,” a feminist, pro-abortion, video narrative of “trailblazing” women whose “pioneering contributions” changed America. What kind of pioneering contributions? I’ll get to that in a minute. (Amy Richards’ ‘contribution’ particularly deserves comment.) But, first, a bit more about the Girl Scout-sponsored event. Billed as an opportunity to “celebrate women and girls,” the screening and discussion took place on May 9, 2013 in…
