Obama Praises Planned Parenthood Abortion Biz in New Video
President Barack Obama has released a new video in which he praises the nation s largest abortion business, Planned Parenthood, which is a prime endorser of his presidential re-election campaign.
For you and for most Americans, protecting women s health is a mission that stands above politics, President Obama says in a video message for the Planned Parenthood Action Fund. And yet over the past year we ve had to stand up to politicians who wanted to deny millions of women the care they rely on and inject themselves into the decisions that are best made between a woman and her doctor.
Let s be clear here, women are not an interest group. They re mothers, and daughters, and sisters, and wives. They re half of this country and they re perfectly capable of making their own choices about their health, Obama says. http://www.lifenews.com/2012/03/29/obama-praises-planned-parenthood-abortion-biz-in-new-video/
Three Abortion Clinic Workers Quit Jobs, 69 Have Since 2007
Just four days left in this campaign! I have HUGE news today, but I must keep some details confidential.
THREE MORE abortion workers have QUIT THEIR JOBS! That makes a total of EIGHT during this campaign and a total of 69 who ve left the abortion industry during 40 Days for Life campaigns since 2007!
Please keep these three people in your prayers as they seek new employment and go through this transition in their lives.
I also have good news from Virginia and some quick stories of babies saved (including another set of twins). Here are the reports from the front lines. http://www.lifenews.com/2012/03/29/three-abortion-clinic-workers-quit-jobs-69-have-since-2007/
Jimmy Carter: Democrats Should Abandon Pro-Abortion Position
Appearing on the radio talk show of conservative radio host Laura Ingraham today, former President Jimmy Carter said he believes the Democratic Party should moderate its position on abortion, which it currently supports without limits and funded at taxpayer expense.
Carter said toning down the stridently pro-abortion position would help win back Republicans who abandoned the Democrats because of abortion and other liberal social issue positions.

Marco Rubio Endorses Mitt Romney for GOP Nomination
Rising conservative star, Senator Marco Rubio (R-FL), told Sean Hannity last night on Fox News that he is endorsing Mitt Romney for President.
Hailing from the key swing state of Florida and with appeal to both Latinos and Tea Party conservatives, Rubio is widely regarded as at the top of any vice presidential shortlist. As Rubio issued his endorsement, he commended the remaining contenders for the Republican nomination but called on fellow Republicans to rally behind Mitt Romney before the Convention in August.
Rubio said, Well, I am going to endorse Mitt Romney and the reason why is not only because he is going to be the Republican nominee but he offers at this point, such a stark contrast to the President s record. Look at the President s record. This is someone who has run the country, not very well over the last 3 years, that has no experience beyond that doing that. At the same time, as he has no experience with the private sector or the free enterprise system. http://www.lifenews.com/2012/03/29/marco-rubio-endorses-for-mitt-romney-for-gop-nomination/
Affordable Care Act the Greatest Expansion of Abortion Since Roe
After three days of oral arguments over the constitutionality of the Affordable Care Act (ACA), the observers inside the court room were able to gauge the level of skepticism on the part of the Justices over whether the Act can pass constitutional muster. The pundits have noted that the law is in trouble.
We will not know the final outcome until June, but what we have heard so far is good news because of a sometimes overlooked but very important fact: the ACA is the greatest expansion on abortion since Roe v. Wade (And this time because the protections of the Hyde Amendment do not apply abortion coverage is subsidized with your tax dollars and, for many of you, through your health insurance premiums.)
There are numerous ways that the ACA expands abortion. http://www.lifenews.com/2012/03/29/affordable-care-act-the-greatest-expansion-of-aborton-since-roe/
China One Child Policy Results in High Female Suicide Rate
The latest Human Rights Report on China (2010) from the Department of State links the One Child Policy with high female suicide rates in China:
A high female suicide rate continued to be a serious problem. According to the World Bank and the World Health Organization, there were approximately 500 female suicides per day in 2009. The Beijing Suicide Research and Prevention Center reported in 2009 that the suicide rate for females was three times higher than for males. Many observers believed that violence against women and girls, discrimination in education and employment, the traditional preference for male children, birth-limitation policies, and other societal factors contributed to the high female suicide rate. Women in rural areas, where the suicide rate for women was three to four times higher than for men, were especially vulnerable.
Stop for a minute and think about it: 500 female suicides per day in 2009. That s 3,500 suicides per week. Fifteen thousand per month; 182,500 suicides per year. If the rate has remained constant throughout the years, we are looking at millions of females taking their own lives in a matter of decades. http://www.lifenews.com/2012/03/29/china-one-child-policy-results-in-high-female-suicide-rate/
UN, Planned Parenthood Push Sex Rights for Ten-Year Old Kids
The UN Commission on Population and Development is considering sexual and reproductive health and rights for children as young as ten.
Even the Secretary General Ban Ki-Moon agrees. In a statement recently released he said, Young people, as much as all people, share the human right to health, including sexual and reproductive health.
Currently international law does not recognize a right to sexual and reproductive health and certainly does not recognize this right in the case of minors. But just last year, the UN Special Rapporteur for Health, Anand Grover, stirred up significant controversy when he not only claimed that a right of sexual and reproductive health existed but attempted to define that right as including access to abortion, contraception, and sexual education. http://www.lifenews.com/2012/03/29/un-planned-parenthood-push-sex-rights-for-ten-year-old-kids/
911 Call: As Botched Abortion Injures Woman, Abortionist Laughs
The transcript of a 911 call a late-term abortion practitioner made to emergency personnel when a botched abortion victimized a woman at his abortion facility shows Martin Haskell laughing. http://www.lifenews.com/2012/03/29/911-call-as-botched-abortion-injures-woman-abortionist-laughs/
Pepsi Continues Denying Using Fetal Cells in Flavor Testing
PepsiCo has come under heavy criticism from pro-life advocates for months for contracting with biotech firm Senomyx Inc., which uses cells from a baby killed in an abortion to conduct flavor testing. http://www.lifenews.com/2012/03/29/pepsi-continues-denying-using-fetal-cells-in-flavor-testing/

Michigan Tries Stopping Teen Abortions Without Parental Consent
The state of Michigan is working to stop abortions on teen girls done without parental consent which happens when abortion businesses find pro-abortion attorneys to obtain judges who will frequently grant a judicial bypass. http://www.lifenews.com/2012/03/29/michigan-tries-stopping-teen-abortions-without-parental-consent/
Tennessee: Abortion Docs Must Have Hospital Admitting Privs
The Tennessee state House has approved legislation making it so abortion practitioners can t abandon women after failed abortions by not having admitting privileges at a local hospital when botched abortions occur. http://www.lifenews.com/2012/03/29/tennessee-abortion-docs-must-have-hospital-admitting-privs/
