The bodies of aborted and miscarried babies have been found to been burned as clinical waste with some even used to heat British hospitals.
Ten different National Health Service units across England have admitted to burning the bodies of aborted children in “waste-to-energy” plants that provide power for heating hospitals. An investigation by Channel 4 discovered that over 15,500 babies were burned in the last two years.
Health Minister Dr. Dan Poulter declared the action “totally unacceptable” and issued an immediate ban on all hospitals burning the remains of babies.
The investigation also found in the case of miscarriages, the parents were often not consulted about what they wanted done with the remains of their child which was then dumped into bags of medical waste.
A Cambridge hospital was found to have used the babies to heat their facility and told the mothers of the dead children that the bodies had been “cremated.”
The Chief Inspector of Hospitals, Sir Mike Richards, said that the actions discovered breached the standard on respecting and involving people who use their services.
South Carolina’s House of Representatives have passed a bill that would ban most abortions after the 20th week of pregnancy.
The move brings the state closer to being the latest putting the 20 week restriction on the ending of a child’s life via abortion.
House representatives voted 84 to 29 to approve the “Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act” that bans abortion after the midpoint of a pregnancy except in the case of a woman’s life being at risk. If approved by the Senate and signed by the governor, it would make South Carolina the 13th state to enact the ban.
Doctors who violate the law could face fines up to $10,000 and three years in prison.
Similar laws are currently working their way through the legislatures of West Virginia and Mississippi.
Two California students are fighting back against a college professor who assaulted them and took away their pro-life signs.
Thrin and Joan Short were part of an pro-life event at the University of California when Associate Professor Mireille Miller-Young ripped the signs they were carrying form their hands. When the girls attempted to get their signs back, the professor kicked and pushed them.
The professor, who teaches feminist studies, claims she had a “moral right” to take the signs from the people who were opposing abortion. The professor is also known for showing pornography in her classes to her students.
Joan Short told Fox News the real offending matter in this incident is abortion itself and that if someone is offended by the process of abortion they should stand up for the life of unborn children.
Santa Barbara police are investigating the incident.
Over the years, one thing that has troubled me deeply and that I’ve asked Jim and our show guests about is, “Where were the Christians when they took prayer out of school?” Of course, many, like Jim, were doing everything they could to stop this travesty. But once it started, it was like a snowball rolling downhill, gaining momentum and strength. Though there were individuals who were preaching, teaching and proclaiming that taking prayer out of schools would lead to all kinds of moral decay, the resistance lacked unity and the result was a dismal failure. They succeeded in taking prayer out of schools, and it was because Christians of all denominations couldn’t get it together enough to stand in one accord and say, “oh no you don’t!”
America’s moral decline rapidly accelerated following this one event – the U.S. Supreme Court’s removal of prayer from our nation’s schools. On June 25, 1962, 39 million students were prohibited from doing what they and their parents before them had been doing since we became a nation – publicly calling upon the name of the Lord at the beginning of each school day.

The West Virginia legislature has passed a bill that would ban most abortions after 20 weeks and have sent it to the governor for his signature.
House Bill 4588, called the “Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act,” says that except in the case of medical emergency no abortion may be performed or induced unless the doctor performing the abortion has made a determination of the post fertilization age of the unborn child.
West Virginians for Life released a statement hailing the bill’s passage, saying it will protect West Virginia’s unborn babies and fulfills the state’s interest in making sure unborn children do not experience pain.
“Scientific research demonstrates that unborn babies can feel pain beginning by at least 20 weeks after conception,” the group said.
Pro-abortion groups in the state are making the normal claims that the bill takes away abortion rights.
West Virginia Governor Earl Ray Tomblin has expressed concerns in the past that the bill won’t stand up to a challenge in court.
Arizona lawmakers have passed a bill in the state House of Representatives that would allow surprise inspection of abortion clinics.
The bill would delete a provision of state law that would require a judge to sign off on a warrant before an inspection of any of the nine licensed abortion clinics in the state. This would bring abortion clinics in line with other health care facilities in the state that can be inspected at any time by state health officials.
Republicans say the change has nothing to do with the issue of abortion but rather health conditions for medical facilities.
“What is it that they have to hide?” Representative Debbie Lasko asked of clinic operators and Democratic lawmakers opposed to the bill.
Those who wish to promote and increase abortions said that new law would result in harassment of providers by subjecting them to the same standards used of other health care providers in Arizona.
The most recent Abortion Surveillance report has been released by the Centers for Disease Control and is showing a very disturbing trend among women in Georgia who are choosing to end the lives of their babies via abortion.
The data, from 2010, is the latest available from the CDC and shows that 53.6% of the babies killed via abortion in Georgia are black. That number is 2.5 times larger than the number of white babies who die via abortion during the data year.
The reason the percentage of black babies to white babies killed is shocking is because the population of the state is almost 63% white. Only 31% of Georgia’s 2012 population is black.
The study also showed that while the number of abortions for all racial demographics were down in 2010, the decrease was significantly less for black women than any other racial group.
However, critics of the report note that the study cannot be truly representative of the entire nation as California, one of the country’s largest states and one of the largest abortion providing states, refuses to report their data for the official CDC abortion survey.
A new report from a United Nations investigative panel has found atrocities in North Korea that the panel compared to crimes committed by Nazi Germany.
The report said that North Korean leader Kim Jong Un ordered women kidnapped from China to be strapped to a table and injected with abortion drugs. He also ordered women who had infants to drown them or smother them in his presence if there was any possibility the children were fathered by Chinese nationals.
“The gravity, scale and nature of these violations reveal a state that does not have any parallel in the contemporary world,” the U.N. Commission on Inquiry wrote in a 372-page report.
The Commission took the unprecedented step of warning the North Korean leader that he could be tried for crimes against humanity at the International Criminal Court for his actions.
The forced abortions were part of a campaign by Kim Jong Un to create a “pure Korean race” and that any child which is not purely North Korean is “contamination of ‘pureness’.”
The report also found multiple “secret” prison camps where hundreds of thousands of North Koreans and kidnapped people from South Korea or Japan were executed.
Texas officials have closed a Houston area abortion clinic because they refused to follow regulations in new state laws.
The Houston Chronicle reported that A Affordable Women’s Medical Center had their license revoked on Friday. The revocation is the first since a law that requires abortion clinic doctors to have admitting privileges at a hospital within 30 miles from the clinic.
In addition, Dr. Theodore M. Herring, Jr. has his license to practice medicine temporarily suspended for committing 268 abortions between November 6, 2013 and February 7, 2014. Herring was the clinic’s medical director and sole abortionist.
The law requiring admission privileges went into effect November 1, 2013.
Herring’s lawyers say that the doctor submitted a plan to state officials that was ruled insufficient stating he would obtain the required hospital privileges by August 31, 2014.
Chocolate? No. Flowers? Nope. A special dinner out? Negative.
The head of Planned Parenthood thinks women need “safe abortions” for Valentine’s Day.
Cecile Richards, president of the abortion provider, posted a video online Friday that showed her holding signs with items written inside a heart that women “really” want for Valentine’s Day. Among the list? Abortions.
At the end of the list, Richards sarcastically called abortions “really radical” items.
Planned Parenthood has released information that said in 2012 they killed over 327,000 babies via abortion while only referring 2,197 mothers to adoption services. Since 1970, Planned Parenthood has killed over 5.3 million children via abortion.
