- Vital Signs finds little comfort in the US Salvation Army branch’s response to the International Salvation Army’s tolerance for abortion in the cases of rape, incest, or fetal abnormality.
- Suzy B helps to expose the DC Abortion Fund’s perpetuation of the victimization of young women as well as their support for late-term abortions:
… [O]ne of the most shocking stories from the DCAF’s report involved its covering up of a sex crime in the case of a 19-year-old who had been raped by her father, and was 18 weeks pregnant. She couldn’t use her Virginia Medicaid to pay for the abortion without filing a police report, so DCAF helped her circumvent the law by sending her into another state and funding a small part of the abortion, effectively hiding the crime….
The DCAF in particular brags about its late-term abortions, including its work with abortionist Leroy Carhart… [and] gives priority to women coming from out of state whose babies are second-term or older.
- Star Studded Super Step finds that Facebook plays favorites when it comes to abortion. The social media giant had removed a Women on Waves graphic which provided directions on how to chemically self-abort (and lie about it to your physician), but since then, Facebook reinstated it with an apology. But when it comes to allowing photos of the results of an abortion – fuhgeddaboudit.
- TFP Student Action urges readers to sign their petition against abortion advocacy groups on at least six Catholic university campuses.
- Secular Pro-Life notices that an article on Hillary Clinton’s feminist accomplishments in the pro-choice Oregonian does not mention her unwavering support for abortion. This is odd considering the fact that Oregon is quite liberal when it comes to life issues.
- Pro-Life in TN writes that the Rocketown Youth Center outreach (founded by CCM artist Michael W. Smith) appears to be partnering with the Planned Parenthood-trained PG13 Players Peer Education program for a one-hour “dramatic presentation” on Monday, January 9. See the blog for Rocketown’s contact information.
- Wesley J. Smith recounts his near perfect record in 2011 predictions on the issues of Obamacare, IVF, assisted suicide and stem cell research.
- Right to Life of MI celebrate’s Michigan’s first public cord blood bank, who just provided their 100th lifesaving stem cell treatment to treat a young boy with leukemia. Umbilical cord blood is an excellent source for lifesaving cells from a source that was routinely thrown out.
- ProWomanProLife questions whether or not Canada’s Parliament should debate the status of children in the womb.
- Bryan Kemper lists his “top ten” pro-life New Year’s resolutions.

Jill Stanek is a nurse turned speaker, columnist and blogger, a national figure in the effort to protect both preborn and postborn innocent human life.
In the case of the 19 yr old incest victim, I disagree with the DCAF circumventing the law (and possibly referrals to victim resources), in order to help her obtain a late term abortion. With that said, however, she was no longer a minor, and while victims should be encouraged to take legal action, meet with a victim advocate, and given a referral for counseling services, it should be the adult victim’s decision whether or not to take legal action.
The problem with that Rachel C is it assumes the only rape happened after the girl was 18. Which, in all truthfulness, you’d have to be moronic to assume. Reporting the sexual rape/abuse of a minor doesn’t have to be the *current* abuse. Heck, almost any circumstance of mandatory reporting would be ‘i have reason to believe this happened’ past tense, not ‘i have reason to believe it will happen’. Statue of limitations of rape is a minimum of 5 years. Until this girl is 22 any ‘mandatory reporter’ (or just person with a heart and brain) who knows specifics about underage sexual abuse *should* be reporting it. A 19 year old who admits to someone they are being raped by dad should be reported to authorities as suspected child abuse, because dad waiting until the girl wasn’t ‘jailbait’ to attack her is ludicris.
