Obama Campaign Speech: No Compromise on Abortion Mandate
During a campaign stop in Denver, Colorado with pro-abortion activist Sandra Fluke, pro-abortion President Barack Obama refused to back down on the HHS mandate his administration put in place forcing religious groups to cover abortion-causing drugs.
Let me tell you there s nothing conservative about a government that prevents a woman from making her own health decisions, he said. Let me tell you something, Denver I don t think your boss should control the care you get, Obama added, referring to the desire by religious groups to not be forced to violate their own consciences. http://www.lifenews.com/2012/08/08/obama-campaign-speech-no-compromise-on-abortion-mandate/

Planned Parenthood Behind Philippines Two-Child Policy Proposal
Planned Parenthood has never been an outspoken opponent of the one-child policy in China, which includes forced abortions and other human rights abuses. Perhaps that explains why it is apparently pushing a similar two-child policy in the Philippines.
Rita Diller, of the STOPP Planned Parenthood group, provides more details about how the abortion business is pushing the policy in the Asian nation.
