Obama Camp Launches Desperate Ad as Catholic Vote Crumbles
The Obama campaign has launched a desperate new ad that it hopes will somehow turn around its poor standing with Catholic voters across the country who are turned off by the Obama administration s pro-abortion attack on religious liberty.

The video is meant to get Catholics and other faith-based voters to sign up to support Obama s re-election campaign. http://www.lifenews.com/2012/09/18/obama-camp-launches-desperate-ad-as-catholic-vote-crumbles/

President Obama Claims: We Stand for Religious Freedom
During his weekly address on Saturday, President Barack Obama made a comment that will surely have pro-life Americans rolling their eyes.

Obama Has Never Supported Any Bill to Stop or Limit Abortions
In his entire political career, Barack Obama is not known to have ever supported any actual bill that would protect a single unborn child from being killed by abortion.

Pro-Life Leader: Romney Working Closely With Social Conservatives
When it comes to the presidential election, defeating pro-abortion President Barack Obama is just the beginning for pro-life voters. The pro-life community needs to have a new president who will work together with pro-life groups to advance the pro-life agenda and field a staff that will do so as well.

While some pro-life voters may have their doubts about Mitt Romney despite numerous endorsements from pro-life groups and a campaign that has been centered on pro-life themes like overturning Roe, de-funding Planned Parenthood, and stopping abortion funding one pro-life leader says Romney has been great to work with so far. http://www.lifenews.com/2012/09/18/pro-life-leader-romney-working-closely-with-social-conservatives/
