Topless Feminists Disrupt Christmas Mass to Protest for Abortion
Did you ever notice how the liberal media can obsess for days over a Koran-burning stunt, but ignore feminist groups that have a serious hatred problem with the Catholic Church? Via Chicks on the Right, we learned that the bratty anti-Catholic leftists of FEMEN have pulled their latest stunt.

A woman with the message "I AM GOD" painted on her body jumped up on the altar and screamed in the middle of a Mass on Christmas at Cologne Cathedral, the home of the Roman Catholic Archbishop of Cologne and one of the tallest cathedrals in the world. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/12/26/topless-feminists-disrupt-christmas-mass-to-protest-abortion/

Judge Allows Hospital to Take Jahi McMath Off Life Support, Family Considers Appeal
A judge has ruled that a hospital in Oakland, California can remove life support from Jahi McMath, 13, who has been declared brain-dead days after undergoing surgery to have her tonsils removed. Her family is already devastated enough but has had to fight the hospital, which wanted to take her off life support against their wishes.

Jahi's family has huddled by her side at Children's Hospital Oakland these last couple of weeks calling on the community for prayers and searching for answers on what went wrong during what was supposed to be a one-night stay for the family favorite.http://www.lifenews.com/2013/12/26/judge-allows-hospital-to-take-jahi-mcmath-off-life-support-family-considers-appeal/

Woman Has Abortion Because She Couldn't Fit Into Her Wedding Dress
In 2005, the Los Angeles Times ran a story by Stephanie Simon entitled "Offering Abortion, Rebirth."

Simon interviewed an abortion provider named Dr. William F. Harrison and observed abortions at his clinic. Harrison died in 2010, after closing down his clinic because of health reasons. The article quotes Harrison saying, "I am destroying life."

Should Parents Who Won $50 Million in Wrongful Birth Lawsuit be Allowed to Raise Their Son?
The day before they were married, Ben and Ali closed on their first house. As wedding photos, the couple did a fun and beautiful wedding shoot in their new home, while it was still empty. Ali tragically died of lung cancer in 2011 after a much too-short marriage to Ben, and too little time with their precious one-year-old daughter, Olivia.

Ben says that he and Olivia have spent the last two years on a rollercoaster of emotions, but he finally felt ready to say Goodbye to the home they had shared with Ali, and he wanted a way to honor the family's jou.http://www.lifenews.com/2013/12/26/should-parents-who-won-50-million-in-wrongful-birth-lawsuit-be-allowed-to-raise-their-son/

Belgium's Pursuit of Euthanasia of Children Tells Sick Kids They're Inconvenient
When my oldest daughter Abigail was born, she spent four days in the hospital's neo-natal unit because of some delivery complications. As first-time parents, we were terrified, but one thing that put the experience into perspective for us was the fact that friends from our church also had a baby in the NICU, and he was there a lot longer than four days—his name is Landon.

Landon was delivered at just twenty-three weeks. A brain injury caused cerebral palsy, and he was on a ventilator for 88 days. It was touch and go whether he would survive.http://www.lifenews.com/2013/12/26/belgiums-pursuit-of-euthanasia-of-children-tells-sick-kids-theyre-inconvenient/

90-Year-Old Mom Reunites With Daughter Conceived in Rape Who She Didn't Abort
Patricia Hamlin is a face of abortion. No, she wasn't a victim of abortion. Rather she was one of the babies who are aborted each and every day because they were conceived in rape.

Like so many other people, Hamlin could have become a statistic — another casualty in the war on unborn children. And her mother, Brooke Mayo, could have done something that most people support, including many pro-lifers, because they fail to see the humanity of the unborn baby in what is obviously a horrific sexual assault experience. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/12/26/90-year-old-mom-reunites-with-daughter-conceived-in-rape-who-she-didnt-abort/

Baby With Rare Heart Condition Spent Christmas at Home After it Miraculously Heals Itself
An infant boy who has had to spend his whole life in a hospital because of a rare heart condition was able to go home to be with his family after what appears to be a medical miracle.

Oscar was born with a heart defect and spent has spent his life in hospital. Lois and Jason Tasker were told Oscar's only hope was a heart transplant and his parents feared he wouldn't make it after 100 days on the transplant list.
