Bishops Prepare for Largest Civil Disobedience Since the 60s
The United States Catholic bishops are readying American Catholics for what may be the largest campaign of civil disobedience since the Civil Rights Movement of the 1960 s.
In addition to 12 lawsuits against the Obama Administration including 46 plaintiffs from dioceses, hospitals and universities, the US Catholic bishops will urge Catholics to openly defy the Obama HHS Mandate. In June, the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) will distribute bulletin inserts nationwide, which reference Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and his call for civil disobedience in response to unjust laws. http://www.lifenews.com/2012/06/03/bishops-prepare-for-largest-civil-disobedience-since-the-60s/
Romney Adviser: He ll Govern as A Pro-Life President
Top surrogates for President Barack Obama and Mitt Romney feuded on pro-life and abortion issues in an interview this weekend on ABC s weekend political talk show hosted by George Stephanopoulos.
During the interview, Romney s senior campaign adviser, Eric Fehrnstrom, said Romney would govern as a pro-life president and said Obama and his campaign s rhetoric of a sp-called War on Women is inaccurate.
Mitt Romney is pro-life, he said. He ll govern as a pro-life president, but you re going to see the Democrats use all sorts of shiny objects to distract people s attention from the Obama performance on the economy." http://www.lifenews.com/2012/06/04/romney-advisor-hell-govern-as-a-pro-life-president/
Clinic in Ohio Closes, Botched Multiple Abortions on Women
An abortion clinic in Ohio that was found to have botched multiple abortions on women is now closing, according to information Operation Rescue provided to LifeNews over the weekend.
Previously, medical transcripts leaked to Operation Rescue by a confidential informant through a third party revealed a pattern of botched abortions and violations of health and safety regulations at Capital Care Women s Center, an abortion clinic in Columbus, Ohio. The group said they paint a grisly portrait of an unsafe abortion business that routinely injures women and violates the law, but, now, Capital is closing up shop. http://www.lifenews.com/2012/06/04/clinic-in-ohio-closes-botched-multiple-abortions-on-women/
Battle Against Obama s HHS Mandate Not Just for Catholics
In a country as great as the United States of America, where even in hard times we are surrounded by plenty, it s easy to get comfortable. And in that lax condition, certain freedoms are taken for granted until they are overtly threatened.
For example, religious freedom has long been assumed safe by myriads of Americans who may or may not even attend a church or synagogue regularly. The steeples on the country hillsides, as well as those pointing upward here and there amid the city skylines, are a stark reminder of the religious heritage of this nation, and many assume what once was always will be. http://www.lifenews.com/2012/06/03/battle-against-obamas-hhs-mandate-not-just-for-catholics/
3,700 Die From Abortion Daily, Save as Many as You Can
In recent weeks, I have been so happy to share with you the joyous news of the six babies that were saved from abortion thanks to the work of our student groups. Every time I hear one of those stories it energizes and inspires me.
But for every joyous story, there is also a tragic one.
Like the one I heard the other day from a student leader, Julia, in Arkansas. Early last week, Julia emailed our team asking us to send out a prayer request for a young mother she knew who was considering abortion. So we posted the alert to our social media sites and prayed. But late last week, I got another email from Julia who said that despite her best efforts and our prayers, the young woman had gone through with aborting her 24-week son. http://www.lifenews.com/2012/06/04/3700-die-from-abortion-daily-save-as-many-as-you-can/
Doctors Arrested Who Fed Aborted Baby Girls to Dogs
Two doctors who fed the bodies of aborted baby girls to dogs in order to hide cases of sex-selection abortions in India has been arrested.
Sme physicians in the city of Beed, India are engaging in the practice, according to India Today, which spoke with Varsha Deshpande of Lek Ladki Abhiyan, an NGO working against the practice. Maharashtra s Public Health Minister Suresh Shetty also admitted to the newspaper that he had heard of reports of the practice taking place. http://www.lifenews.com/2012/06/04/doctors-arrested-who-fed-aborted-baby-girls-to-dogs/
Rejecting Abortion: a 16-Year-Old s Selfless Act of Love
I m one of those people that can throw around that word a lot. LOVE. My husband. My kids. My girl friends. My Embrace Grace mommas. My grandmother. My housekeeper (she s amazing). I LOVE YOU!
January of 2011 began a season that awakened my heart and opened my eyes to a profound level of LOVE that I had never encountered before. This stirring happened from the most unlikely of sources that eventually turned into a friendship that I will treasure forever. Her name was Jayd. http://www.lifenews.com/2012/06/04/rejecting-abortion-a-16-year-olds-selfless-act-of-love/

Louisiana House Unanimously OKs 20-Week Abortion Ban
On Friday afternoon, the Louisiana House passed SB 766, the Pain Capable Unborn Child Protection Act, a bill that would ban abortions after 20 weeks of pregnancy based on the science showing unborn children feel pain at that point. http://www.lifenews.com/2012/06/04/louisiana-house-unanimously-oks-20-week-abortion-ban/
Bioethics Journal Pushes Organ Donations on Living Patients
Here we go again! The push to transform the most ill and disabled living human bodies into so many organ farms continues among some bioethicists and within organ transplant ethical discourse. Now, an article in the American Journal of Bioethics, written by organ surgeon and medical professor Paul E Morrissey, urges that patients who are going to have life support removed and then become organ donors after death, instead have their kidneys harvested while still alive. http://www.lifenews.com/2012/06/03/bioethics-journal-pushes-organ-donations-on-living-patients/
China s One-Child Policy Traced to Roman Population Control
Last week, the Washington Times carried a powerful op-ed by Robert Zubrin, a senior fellow the Center for Security Policy, tracing the intellectual roots of China s brutal one-child policy to the population-control movement including the Club of Rome. http://www.lifenews.com/2012/06/04/chinas-one-child-policy-traced-to-roman-population-control/
Why Won t the Abortion Industry Follow Legitimate Health Standards?
It s not a secret that the president and the abortion industry want all of America to believe that there is a War on Women. Besides the fact that myself and many others believe that this war is a political scheme, it s also being spouted by the very side who is engaging the real war on women. http://www.lifenews.com/2012/06/04/why-wont-the-abortion-industry-follow-legitimate-health-standards/
