Alfie Evans Still Breathing, Despite Ventilator Shutdown!

Nineteen hours after the Alder Hey Hospital in Britain unplugged the ventilator of Alfie Evans against his parents’ wishes, the 23-month-old has been breathing on his own with just oxygen and water, reports The Sun.

Judge Anthony Hayden of the High Court of England and Wales refused to release Alfie Evans despite this development, claiming that the little boy has “no sense of touch or taste or hearing.”

Paul Diamond, representing Alfie’s family, argued that Alfie should be flown abroad — with an air ambulance gifted by the Italian government ready to take him following support by Pope Francis.

Tom Evans, the 21-year-old father, told hundreds of concerned citizens outside the hospital, “Doctors need to know they are murdering my son. It’s a straight up clean execution. I won’t stand back and allow you to do this.”

Pakistan Christian Woman Lit on Fire by Courting Muslim Man

A Christian woman in Pakistan died on Sunday night, April 22nd after a Muslim in the Sialkot area set her on fire for refusing to convert to Islam and marry him, reports Christian Headlines.

Muhammad Rizwan Gujjar poured kerosene on 25-year-old Asma Yaqoob, and set her on fire on April 17th, resulting in burns on 80 percent of her body.

Impoverished Christian women in Pakistan, like Yaqoob, are commonly pressured to marry Muslims with promises of a better life.

Revenge Porn Now Protected Freedom of Speech

Texas’ 12th Court of Appeals ruled that a 2015 state law that criminalized the practice of posting intimate photos and videos from a previous or current relationship, popularly known as “revenge porn,” is allegedly unconstitutional, reports The Christian Post.

The court said that the Relationship Privacy Act which made revenge porn a misdemeanor punishable with up to a year in jail and a $4,000 fine, violated the U.S. Constitution’s First Amendment by restricting expression based on the content of photographs and video shared online.

Isaiah 5:20 declares, “Woe to those who call evil good and good evil, who put darkness for light and light for darkness.”

60th Call for Ambulance from Little Rock Abortion Mill

When an ambulance showed up at the Little Rock, Arkansas Family Planning abortion mill, pro-life activist Mary Silfies was there to photograph the moment.

Through a Freedom of Information Act request for the 911 records through the publicly-funded ambulance company, Metropolitan Emergency Medical, Operation Rescue learned from the heavily redacted audio recording that the young woman was a minor and suffered hemorrhaging and lacerations from her abortion.

The recording contained a revealing question from the 911 dispatcher to the abortion mill caller, who asked about the availability of an AED or an “automated external defibrillator,” a device used to check a patient’s heart rhythm which can send a shock to restore a normal heartbeat. It’s also used in the event of a cardiac arrest, indicating she was in bad shape.

Listen to a portion of the 911 call.

Abortion clinic employee: “Hi. I need to request an emergency ambulance transport.”
Dispatcher: “Sure. What’s the address we need to come to?
Abortion clinic employee: “4 Office Park Drive.”
Dispatcher: “Alright. And, um, what room is the patient in?”
Abortion clinic employee: “She’s in the procedure room with the doctor.”
Dispatcher: “Alright. Do you have AED there? … We’ve got help on the way to you.”
Abortion clinic employee: “Thank you very much. ”
Dispatcher: “You’re welcome.”

Astoundingly, over the past 19 years, the Little Rock Family Planning abortion mill has called 911 60 times!

The World View spoke to Cheryl Sullenger of Operation Rescue about why these incidents are frequent, but most of them are not publicized.  

“Well, I think mainstream media has an agenda that is promoting of abortion, so they don’t want to cover any kind of news that makes the abortion industry look bad. And the ambulances at these abortion clinics and some of the patient deaths we’ve uncovered make the abortion industry look bad. Therefore, it’s never going to make the mainstream news.”

God and 13 Truckers Saved Suicidal Man

And finally, the Michigan State Police brainstormed a unique way to help a man who was threatening suicide on a highway overpass. After closing all lanes of 696 in both directions, they urged 13 semi trucks to park directly underneath the bridge to help shorten the fall, reports Fox 2 Detroit.

In God’s providence, after three hours of negotiation, the man did not jump and walked off the bridge safely.

If you or a loved one is feeling suicidal, call the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 1-800-273-8255.

Psalm 34:18 reminds us that “The LORD is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.”

New York Legislators Urged to Vote No on Assisted Suicide Bill

In an open letter to the New York State General Assembly, Nancy Elliott, the chair of Euthanasia Prevention Coalition, urged the legislators to reject Bill #A2383A which would legalize Assisted Suicide, reports Life News.

Rejecting the notion of safeguards, Elliott cited Oregon, where assisted suicide is legal, which just passed legislation that will allow for the starvation and dehydration of incompetent people.

In addition, Belgium has expanded their euthanasia law to include the euthanasia of children, those who are incompetent and people who are not dying at all. And Canada has already expanded their euthanasia law to include prisoners.
