Obama Bounce Gone, Poll Shows Presidential Race Now Tied
Any bounce pro-abortion President Barack Obama may have received is now gone as a new Rasmussen Reports poll finds him and challenger Mitt Romney essentially tied, as both candidates are one point apart and within the margin of error.
The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Wednesday shows President Obama attracting support from 46% of voters nationwide, while Mitt Romney earns 45% of the vote, the polling firm noted this morning. Four percent (4%) prefer some other candidate, and five percent (5%) are undecided. http://www.lifenews.com/2012/09/12/obama-bounce-gone-poll-shows-presidential-race-now-tied/
Medical Examiner Hid Info Showing Planned Parenthood Killed Patient
New information is coming to light showing the Cook County Medical Examiner s office is apparently trying to cover up the fact that a Planned Parenthood clinic killed a patient in a botched abortion.
Yesterday, the pro-life group Operation Rescue released a copy of the autopsy showing that 24-year old Tonya Reaves died from three major complications during a botched second-trimester abortion suffered at a Chicago area Planned Parenthood abortion clinic on July 20, 2012. Operation Rescue, which obtained the autopsy results, says it indicates that Reaves injuries were survivable if she had received proper emergency care in a timely manner. http://www.lifenews.com/2012/09/12/medical-examiner-hid-info-showing-planned-parenthood-killed-patient/
Sebelius Broke Law in Speech at Pro-Abortion Group s Event
A new report from the U.S. Office of Special Counsel notified President Barack Obama today that Secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services Kathleen Sebelius broke the law when she advocated for the election of a candidate during a speech at a pro-abortion group s event.
Sebelius violated the hatch Act, which prohibited federal employees from officially supporting the election or defeat of a candidate. http://www.lifenews.com/2012/09/12/sebelius-broke-law-in-speech-at-pro-abortion-groups-event/
Hobby Lobby Sues Obama Admin Over Pro-Abortion HHS Mandate
Hobby Lobby Stores, Inc., a privately held retail chain with more than 500 arts and crafts stores in 41 states, filed a lawsuit today against the Obama administration over its HHS mandate.
The company says it would face $1.3 million in fines on a daily basis starting in January if it fails to comply with the mandate, which requires religious employers to pay for or refer women for abortion-cause drugs that violate their conscience or religious beliefs. http://www.lifenews.com/2012/09/12/hobby-lobby-sues-obama-admin-over-pro-abortion-hhs-mandate/

Probe of Virginia Abortion Clinics: Aborted Baby Remains in Freezer
Two days before Virginia state health department officials consider rules related to the inspection of abortion clinics, the results of documents from the health department about prior inspects show some ghastly results.
Documents obtained by The Family Foundation of Virginia from the Virginia Department of Health through the Freedom of Information Act show widespread health and safety violations at Virginia s abortion centers. Those discoveries included revelations that one abortion clinic was improperly storing the remains of aborted babies in a freezer. http://www.lifenews.com/2012/09/12/probe-of-virginia-abortion-clinics-aborted-baby-remains-in-freezer/
Defeating Obama Would Zap Planned Parenthood s Slush Fund
Planned Parenthood, which runs the nation s largest abortion chain, may be about as out-of-the-mainstream as it gets in American politics, but they sure know how to play the political game.
First, they know how to get the money they need to feed their abortion empire. More than $400 million of their billion dollar a year budget comes from you and me and other American taxpayers. http://www.lifenews.com/2012/09/12/defeating-obama-would-zap-planned-parenthoods-slush-fund/
