Pro-life battles moving to center stage in nation’s capital; Mississippi senator takes up mantle

KEEPING IT OPEN – A pair of unidentified “clinic escorts” wait at the driveway of the Jackson Women’s Health Organization, Mississippi’s sole abortion clinic located on North State Street in Jackson, to escort women seeking abortions past pro-life protestors. The clinic filed a federal lawsuit against the state’s Gestational Age Act that would protect unborn babies from abortion after 15 weeks gestation. The case will be heard by the U.S. Supreme Court in October. (Photo credit: Pinkhouse Defenders Facebook page)

Flooding, mudslides cause
devastation in Nepal, Tibet
SOUTH ASIA — Hundreds of people were killed and more than a thousand are missing after devastating mudslides swept through Nepal and Tibet Aug. 26. Send Relief is asking Southern Baptists to help as they coordinate relief efforts. Flash floods ripped through towns and villages, sweeping away homes, buildings and roads. Many villages are only accessible by air because of the flooding, according to Send Relief. The U.S. Embassy in Nepal said at least six districts in the country have been affected by the disaster. Scientists say a glacier collapsed near the Rasuwa district causing portions of mountain rock to rush into nearby rivers, according to the Malaysian news site The Star Online. Water displacement resulted in flash floods and massive mudslides across the region. Send Relief, the compassion ministry of the North American Mission Board and International Mission Board, has opened a portal for donations to help provide basic supplies.
