Woman Starts GoFundMe Campaign to Pay for Her Abortion So She Can Party

/4 Comments/in , /by

Photo Credit: LifeNewsPeople around the world use the GoFundMe web site and it’s normally a place for heartwarming campaigns to help people who have adverse medical conditions, who have been in accidents or who are raising money for other people in need or good causes. But one woman is using it to raise funds for her abortion.

Bailey’s Abortion Fund has already raised $1,654 of $2,500 by 106 people over the last two days who want to give her their hard-earned cash to pay to kill her baby in an abortion.

UPDATE AT 1:30 p.m. ET: The funding page has been taken down. LifeNews has reached out to GoFundMe for comment and has yet to receive a reply.

With the projected cost of the abortion well over the typical $450-$500 price for an early term abortion, it’s obvious that Bailey and her boyfriend are raising funds to take the life of their child in a late abortion near viability. The couple say they are raising funds for the abortion because insurance will not cover it.

War on Kids: Neighbor Begs Government to Shut Child’s Lemonade Stand

/5 Comments/in , /by

Photo Credit: Chris Urso via TwitterOn the corner of Patricia Avenue and San Salvador Drive in a Dunedin, Fla., neighborhood, 12-year-old T.J. Guerrero operates a lemonade stand to raise money for summer activities with his friends and family.

His stand is usually open in the afternoon, and customers line up to sample his lemonade and baked goods. “I tried the strawberry before and it’s perfect,” one customer commented, according to the Tampa Bay Times. “That’s what it’s about. He’s willing to work.”

Hard work and business skills are the lessons learned in this venture. “It’s all about profit,” T.J. noted. He operates his stand with a little white table and yellow sign on the corner of a grassy lawn. The neighbors enjoy seeing the business flourish in the summer months, reminding them of their childhood. “I had one when I was a little kid. We all did,” said Vincent Titara, who lives nearby T.J.’s lemonade stand. “I think it’s cute.”

But not everyone in the neighborhood was happy with the young boy’s little business.

In a scenario reminiscent of the relationship between fictional characters Dennis the Menace and Mr. Wilson, an older neighbor became increasingly upset with the placement of T.J.’s lemonade stand near his house and tried to force the city government to shut down the boy’s business.

An Ugly Word That Hurts Thousands of Children is Called Out by Beautiful Little Girl Who Has a Name

/3 Comments/in , /by

Photo Credit: IJ Review In this photo, a little girl named Isabella wants people to know that she is a person, with a name, like anyone else. She is not defined by any word, especially not one that tries to belittle or degrade others.

Please don’t use the word retarded. I am a beautiful person. I am Isabella!

The website R-word.org, whose aim is to end the use of the term ‘retarded,’ explains how the word “retardation” went from a clinical description to a word of derision.

“When they were originally introduced, the terms ‘mental retardation’ or ‘mentally retarded’ were medical terms with a specifically clinical connotation, however, the pejorative forms… have been used widely in today’s society to degrade and insult people with intellectual disabilities…

Maine Mom Fights State to Keep Baby Daughter Alive after She Emerges from Coma

/11 Comments/in , /by

Photo Credit: Fox NewsA teenage mother from Maine has the governor on her side in a legal battle to keep her ailing baby alive, even though the state now has custody and previously sought to enforce a “Do Not Resuscitate” order.

One-year-old Aleah Peaslee, who was left in a coma last December after allegedly being shaken by her 21-year-old father, miraculously emerged from the state not long after being placed in the arms of her mother, Virginia Trask, according to court papers. But by then, Trask, told by doctors the baby’s brain damage was severe, had signed off on a DNR order and the baby had been taken into custody by the state due to the alleged abuse at the hands of Kevin Peaslee.

What has ensued is a legal battle over who has the right to rescind the order, the state or the parent. And although a state court ruled in favor of the Maine Department of Health and Human Development, Gov. Paul LePage made clear to FoxNews.com on Thursday that he will not allow state bureaucrats to usurp a parent’s rights regardless of how the appellate court, which has the case on its docket Sept. 23, comes down.

“This case is disturbing and is not reflective of my Administration’s position that a parent who is the legal guardian of their child should have final say in medical decisions about life-sustaining treatment,” said LePage. “The existing law violates the sanctity of parental rights, and I cannot support it. Unless a parent is deemed unfit and parental rights are severed, the state should not override a parent’s right to make medical decisions for their own child.”

Sudanese Woman Who Faced Death Sentence Rather Than Renounce Christ to be Honored in D.C.

Meriam Ibrahim–the Sudanese woman married to a naturalized U.S. citizen who refused to renounce her Christian faith even while facing a death sentence for it–will be honored later this month in Washington, D.C., at the Family Research Council’s Values Voter Summit.

“Meriam’s bold stand for Jesus Christ as she faced death has touched the hearts of people in every nation,” said FRC President Tony Perkins. “Her incredible example of courage should inspire Christians in America to be bold and courageous in their faith as we witness growing religious hostility here in our country.”

Meriam, who was raised in Sudan as a Christian by her Christian mother after her Muslim father abandoned her family, married Daniel Wani in Khartoum in December 2011. Wani had moved to the United States from Sudan in 1998 and was naturalized as a U.S. citizen in 2005.

In November 2012, eleven months after they were married, Daniel and Meriam had their first child, Martin, in Sudan.

In May of this year, a Sudanese court convicted Ibrahim of “apostasy,” because her father had been a Muslim and she professed Christianity. The court also convicted her of “adultery” because it refused to recognize her marriage to a Christian as legitimate. The court sentenced her to die for her alleged “apostasy” and to be whipped for her purported “adultery.”

During a Southwest Airlines flight in April, Caroline Jordan’s husband, Jack, had a massive heart attack. A physical therapist and hospice nurse on board quickly gave him CPR, she tells WABC.

That’s when Jordan noticed a defibrillator nearby … not being used. When another passenger asked why, a flight attendant allegedly said Jack Jordan’s chest was too hairy, Caroline Jordan says.

Eventually, her husband’s chest was shaved and he was hooked up to the AED, KOAT reports, but he didn’t survive…

Activists Who Condemned Illegal Abortions Now Push Do-It-Yourself Abortions

So how are a boat anchored in international waters off Dublin, Ireland, border town flea markets in Texas, a businessman in India, and a storefront in rural Iowa all related?

According to an article written by Emily Bazelon appearing in last Thursday’s New York Times (8/28/14), they’re all key pieces of the abortion industry’s transition from relying almost exclusively on standard brick and mortar clinics that performed surgical abortions to a new model where chemical abortifacients can be ordered over the internet or purchased over the counter and performed at home by women on themselves—hence the acronym D-I-Y (Do-It-Yourself) abortions.

RebeccaGompertsBazelon’s article, “The Dawn of the Post-Clinic Abortion,” begins largely as a profile piece on Rebecca Gomperts (right). As we will explained later in this story, while Gomperts herself is not currently working in countries where abortion is legal, abortion activists in the United States are watching her “radical idea of providing abortions without direct contact with a doctor” with great interest. (NRL News Today last wrote about Gomperts, a Dutch general-practice physician, at “’Women on Waves’ bringing abortions performed off shore to Morocco.”)

Gomperts is the former Greenpeace activist who launched the “Abortion Ship” from the Netherlands in June of 2001, heading for the coast of Ireland on a ship stocked with abortion pills—mifepristone (RU-486) and the prostaglandin misoprostol. She called her effort “Women on Waves.”

The plan was to anchor just outside Ireland’s coastal boundary and have women ferried out to the ship to take the pills and start their abortions. However disputes over licensing and strategy kept the group from performing any abortions there.

Benham Brothers Challenge Sen. Kay Hagan at Pro-life Rally (+video)

7HGTV may have fired the Benham brothers for their religious beliefs, but that’s not stopping them from voicing and standing up for their pro-life ideals. At a “Summer of Life” rally organized in North Carolina on Wednesday, David and Jason Benham spoke outside of Senator Kay Hagan’s (D) office to challenge her pro-abortion agenda. In particular, they criticized the senator for opposing the Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act, a bill that would ban abortion after 20 weeks – the point when unborn babies can feel pain.

Jury Acquits Texas Father Of Killing Drunken Driver Who Crashed Into His Kids

A jury on Wednesday acquitted a southeast Texas man of murder in the fatal shooting of a drunken driver who had just caused an accident that killed the man’s two sons.

David Barajas cried after the verdict was read and he hugged his wife, Cindy, who was also crying. He could have been sentenced to up to life in prison, if he had been convicted.

Prosecutors alleged that Barajas killed 20-year-old Jose Banda in a fit of rage after Banda plowed into Barajas and his sons in December of 2012 while they were pushing a truck on a road near their home because it had run out of gas. Twelve-year-old David Jr. and 11-year-old Caleb were killed.

Defense attorney Sam Cammack said Barajas didn’t kill Banda and that he was only focused on saving his sons. The gun used to kill Banda wasn’t found and there was little physical evidence tying Barajas to the killing.

A visibly relieved Barajas told reporters following the verdict that he hopes to move forward with his life and find closure.

Media Conspiracy to Bury CDC Whistleblower Story Protects Vaccine Makers at the Expense of Human Life

One of the most extraordinary stories in American history is unfolding before our eyes today as the entire mainstream media conspires to suppress and bury the true story of a CDC scientist blowing the whistle on runaway scientific fraud at the agency. To date, not a single mainstream media source has published even one article on this historic turning point in medical history, where Americans learned that the CDC had been deliberately lying to them about the supposed safety of MMR vaccines.

One media source, CNN, has gone to tremendous lengths to censor citizen journalists who attempted to bring this story to light.

Alternative media takes over role of a free press in a free society

The breaking of this astonishing story has been accomplished entirely by the “alternative media” — the only free press still operating in the world today. Every other news source — including many so-called “progressive” publishers — has fallen in line with the deliberate suppression of a medical news story with enormous implications for public health, public trust and government authority.

If this story were taking place in any other industry, it would be front page news everywhere. For example, if a Republican campaign manager whistleblower went public with a confession of electoral fraud, it would be front page news everywhere.
