It's not "just" about saving babies
Pastor Adam Barton blogs for ICU Mobile:
Some pregnancy centers have asked, “Do we have to share the gospel with everyone? Our answer is, “yes” for the following reasons:
1. We are called to share the truth of Jesus Christ. This is our highest calling as God’s children.
2. Save the woman, save the baby. Abortion is often a symptom of a much greater spiritual problem. Women are likely to repeat an abortion without knowing God.
3. Often, we will only see our clients one time. We have to assume that this may be our only opportunity to share.
4. It works. It’s proven. Around 40% accept Christ as their savior aboard the mobiles in our fleet. It will continue to as long as we continue to be bold.
5. Women in these difficult circumstances are highly receptive to the gospel.
6. Regardless of timing, sharing the gospel is better than not sharing at all.
7. There may have been other believers that have already laid the seeds before us.
8. We don’t need to “break the ice” before engaging in the gospel. Remember, they are coming to us in a time of need. Barriers are already broken down to begin with which makes it appropriate to share the gospel at first meeting.
9. It’s beneficial for staff to share each time. They don’t have to think twice about sharing or not, and it keeps them spiritually ready and mindful of Kingdom work—not just saving babies.
10. People/churches outside the “pro-life” arena will be more likely to support the ministry if sharing the gospel is a necessary part of what we do.

FDA Advisors who Endorsed Contraceptive had Industry Ties
FDA Advisors who Endorsed Contraceptive had Industry Ties: The Food and Drug Administration should disregard a joint advisory committee’s support of a controversial birth control pill because four members of the panel had ties to either the contraceptive maker or the maker of a generic version, the Project On Government Oversight (POGO) said Wednesday in a letter to the FDA. In the letter, the watchdog group questioned why members with ties to Bayer HealthCare Pharmaceuticals were allowed, in essence, to endorse the company’s second-best-selling franchise without announcing their ties during the meeting.

Women Speak Out About “Counseling” in the Abortion Industry | After Abortion: Many people assume that if a woman or girl goes to an abortion facility, she wants an abortion. But many women and girls who have been there say that they were looking for information and help — often help to continue a pregnancy or stop someone seeking to pressure or force them to abort — rather than abortion.

Rockford abortion clinic will not reopen due to lack of support
Rockford abortion clinic will not reopen due to lack of support - Rockford, IL - Rockford Register Star: The Northern Illinois Women's Center, which has been providing abortion services in Rockford for nearly 40 years, is closing. The clinic's director confirmed today that the clinic's owners have decided to close the clinic's doors for good after being closed by the state for three months.
The clinic's decision is based on a lack of support from the community, the political climate surrounding the abortion issue both locally and nationally and the challenge the clinic would face in rebuilding staff, the director said.

Woman facing jail for giving abortion pill to pregnant teenager: Baby died hours later shortly after birth
Woman facing jail for giving abortion pill to pregnant teenager: Baby died hours later shortly after birth - Cecil Whig: Local News: Sandra Craine mail-ordered a packet of abortion pills, RU-486, off an overseas website and gave them to the victim, prosecutors reported. At the time, the teen was "20 weeks and five days" into her pregnancy.
Doctors who treated the pregnant teen at Union Hospital in Elkton told investigators and prosecutors that RU-486 must be taken during the first 10 weeks of pregnancy only.
Craine failed to follow other instructions relating to the abortion pills she gave the victim, according to prosecutors.
The packaging stated that a prescription was needed to obtain the medication and that it should be taken only under a doctor's supervision. Neither instruction was followed.
