On Friday, Operation Rescue reported yet another maternal death at the hands of late-term abortionist Leroy Carhart. The victims have been identified as kindergarten teacher Jennifer Morbelli and her daughter Madison Leigh. Unlike most abortion victims, Madison was named by her family; this is because she was wanted, and Jennifer only resorted to abortion when she discovered that her daughter had a “fetal anomaly” (we don’t know more than that).

A new pro-life campaign urges everyone to change their Facebook profile picture starting February 13. The campaign corresponds with 40 Days for Life. While 40 Days is a religious, prayer-based event, this Facebook campaign is not; anyone can join in! Learn more and get the profile graphic here.

At LifeNews, SPL member Sarah Terzo provides an excellent backgrounder on the battle over access to ultrasound before abortion.
