Defeat Barack Obama: The Most Extreme President Ever on Abortion
America has never had a more pro-abortion President than Barack Obama. In another time, Obama s views on late abortions and on eliminating virtually all current protections for unborn children and their mothers would have been considered a scandal. They would have disqualified him from holding high office.
Commentator Rich Lowry, writing in the journal Politico, said it is impossible to stake out a position further to the left on this issue, unless, perhaps, you are performing abortions yourself. http://www.lifenews.com/2012/08/29/defeat-barack-obama-the-most-extreme-president-ever-on-abortion/
Rick Santorum: Thank God the Republican Party is Still Pro-Life
Abortion survivor Melissa Ohden hits President Barack Obama on the issue of abortion in a new pro-life television commercial sponsored by the Susan B. Anthony List that will run in the battleground state of Missouri.
Missouri has recently been at the center of the conversation on abortion thanks to controversial comments from its U.S. Senate candidate Todd Akin concerning women, abortion and rape. http://www.lifenews.com/2012/08/28/rick-santorum-thank-god-the-republican-party-is-still-pro-life/
Democrats Can t Spell: Romney Too Extreme for Woman
Apparently when your message is factually wrong it can lead to mistakes like this one.
Brad Woodhouse, a spokesman for the Democratic National Committee, tweeted photos today of a banner-carrying plane Democrats purchased to alert Republicans at the GOP convention to an important message about presidential nominee Mitt Romney. The DNC meant to say Romney is too extreme for women but, as Byron York of the Washington Examiner noticed, only one woman apparently believes Romney is too extreme. http://www.lifenews.com/2012/08/29/democrats-cant-spell-romney-too-extreme-for-woman/
Mom Who Refused Cancer Treatment to Save Unborn Baby Recovers
Out of England comes a miraculous story of a courageous mother, 41-year-old Jo Powell, who discovered a lump on her breast days after finding out she was pregnant with first child. Powell refused to start treatment until later in her pregnancy so she would not harm or kill her unborn child.
In similar cases, doctors suggest an abortion, but, as studies show, there is no need for women to destroy the life of their unborn child to save their own. http://www.lifenews.com/2012/08/29/mom-who-refused-cancer-treatment-to-save-unborn-baby-recovers/
Woman Has Buried 4,000 Babies Dying From Abortion, Infanticide
Pham Thi Cuong, 74, is doing what so many in Vietnam refuse to do care for little babies who die before birth in abortions. A new story profiles her work, finding and burying more than 4,000 unwanted babies who have been killed.
From the story: Pham Thi Cuong, 74, whose hair is silver and who has trouble breathing, pedals around ten kilometers each day on her bicycle searching for disregarded embryos from abortion procedures, and in some cases, the little bodies of babies who had been born and abandoned. http://www.lifenews.com/2012/08/29/woman-has-buried-4000-babies-dying-from-abortion-infanticide/
Obama Admin Revises Pro-Abortion HHS Mandate a Third Time
The Obama administration has reportedly revised the controversial pro-abortion HHS mandate a third time, though it still fails to offer protection for religious groups not wanting to refer women for abortion-causing drugs or pay for them.
Hannah Smith, senior counsel at the Becket Fund for Religious Liberty, talked with CNA about the revisions and said the Obama administration is governing by sloppy executive fiat and not addressing the problems religious groups have. http://www.lifenews.com/2012/08/29/obama-admin-revises-pro-abortion-hhs-mandate-a-third-time/
Santorum: Obama For Inclusion But OK With 1 Million Abortions
Former Republican presidential candidate Rick Santorum was one of the speakers at a pro-life Republican event yesterday along with other former GOP presidential candidates.
LifeNews chronicled his speech yesterday: I love how the left and this president talk about inclusion as they advocate the discarding and destruction of over one million children every year, Santorum said. Some inclusion. http://www.lifenews.com/2012/08/29/santorum-obama-for-inclusion-but-ok-with-1-million-abortions/
Death Panel Slips DNR Order Into 12-Year-Old s Medical File
Until last week, a 12-year-old gunshot victim s life was endangered more by his doctor than his injury. http://www.lifenews.com/2012/08/29/death-panel-slips-dnr-order-into-12-year-olds-medical-file/
< /font> Poll Claims Todd Akin Has Re-Taken Lead on Claire McCaskill
A new poll paid for by the Family Research Council, a pro-life group, indicates pro-life Missouri Senate candidate Todd Akin now leads pro-abortion Sen. Clair McCaskill in the race despite the controversial comments he made about abortion and rape. http://www.lifenews.com/2012/08/29/poll-claims-todd-akin-has-re-taken-lead-on-claire-mccaskill/
Black Pro-Lifers: Probe Planned Parenthood for Killing Black Woman
he National Black Pro-Life Coalition (NBPLC), a coalition of African-American pro-life leaders from across the United States, is demanding an investigation of Planned Parenthood for criminal negligence in its killing of a young black woman in a failed abortion. http://www.lifenews.com/2012/08/29/black-pro-lifers-probe-planned-parenthood-for-killing-black-woman/
Doc Involved in Secret Maryland Late-Term Abortion Biz Suspended
An abortion practitioner involved in a secret Maryland late-term abortion business has been suspended after a pro-life group s investigation brought him to the attention of state officials. http://www.lifenews.com/2012/08/29/doc-involved-in-secret-maryland-late-term-abortion-biz-suspended/
Planned Parenthood s New Cancer Screening Initiative a Joke
Planned Parenthood Federation of America and various affiliates have released scads of stories over the past week touting a new breast cancer initiative. The $3 million it says will fund the initiative is the amount Planned Parenthood claims it raised in four days in response to the Susan G. Komen Foundation s quickly-rescinded announcement that it would stop funding the abortion giant. http://www.lifenews.com/2012/08/29/planned-parenthoods-new-cancer-screening-initiative-a-joke/
Abortion Advcoates are Hypocrites When It Comes to Rape Criticism
Democrats and feminists have mounted a sustained attack against Missouri U.S. Senate candidate Todd Akin for using the term legitimate rape, feigning horror at the implication there might be such a thing as illegitimate rape. http://www.lifenews.com/2012/08/29/abortion-advcoates-are-hypocrites-when-it-comes-to-rape-criticism/
More British Dying From Suicides Than Some Illegal Drugs
They must be so proud the ghouls who give people moral permission to kill themselves and then teach them how to do it with helium. Now, enough people are doing themselves in with this method that the increase is reflected in UK death statistics. http://www.lifenews.com/2012/08/29/more-british-dying-from-suicides-than-some-illegal-drugs/
Police Officer Charged, Beat Pregnant Girlfriend to Cause Abortion
When Caroline Craft, 27, became pregnant in 2010, her then boyfriend, 35-year-old police officer Matthew Cherry, insisted she have an abortion. In an angry confrontation, Cherry told Craft that she was ruining his life and that she had to abort. http://www.lifenews.com/2012/08/29/police-officer-charged-beat-pregnant-girlfriend-to-cause-abortion/
Bogus Charges Dismissed Against Chicago Pro-Life Sidewalk Counselor
Charges were dismissed this morning against pro-life sidewalk counselor Anna Marie Mesia, who was arrested by Chicago Police July 26 for an act of simple battery allegedly committed outside of the Albany Medical/Surgical Center abortion facility the previous day when she wasn t even there. http://www.lifenews.com/2012/08/29/bogus-charges-dismissed-against-chicago-pro-life-sidewalk-counselor/
Colorado Personhood Amendment Fails to Qualify for Third Vote
The third time will not be the charm for the Colorado personhood amendment, which has gone down to two lopsided defeats in previous votes. Supporters of the amendment failed to garner enough signatures to get on the ballot, according to the Colorado Secretary of State s office. http://www.lifenews.com/2012/08/29/colorado-personhood-amendment-fails-to-qualify-for-third-vote/
