A new show called “NICU” will premiere tonight at 10pm Eastern on Discovery Health Channel. Discovery Health describes NICU as follows: This 10-episode docu-drama series goes behind the scenes of top national neonatal intensive care (NICU) units, showing the day-to-day care required to sustain the smallest of lives.

As my mom likes to say, “Let me put on my surprise face.” The Obama administration has officially approved the first instance of taxpayer funded abortions under the new national government-run health care program. This is the kind of abortion funding the pro-life movement warned about when Congress considered the bill. The Obama Administration will […]
The Pregnancy Assistance Fund, announced earlier this month, is supposed to help pregnant and parenting moms in need. No one questions that this is a laudable goal. But there’s some skepticism from pro-life groups, who worry that this will just be another stream of income for Planned Parenthood. Planned Parenthood’s own annual report statistics show […]
Roman Polanski, the famous film director who fled the United States after pleading guilty to sex with a 13-year-old girl, is a free man.

No, not for the unborn children he killed. Not for the two mothers he killed in botched abortions, either. After years of legal wrangling, Alabama abortionist Malachy DeHenre will serve 20 years in prison for the murder of his wife. He joins the esteemed ranks of abortionists Thomas Neill Cream, Conroy James Hayes, John Gwynne, […]
Nulono points me to this article, which basically says that Dr. New’s statements have been taken out of context and that her efforts are actually meant to treat a serious medical condition. Without knowing the relationship between Dr. Maria New and Dr. Alice Dreger (who first voiced her concern about New’s work in Bioethics Forum), […]
