Top Pro-Abortion Group Reveals Strategy to Re-Elect Obama
One of the top pro-abortion groups in the nation met with reporters today in its Washington, D.C. office to reveal the strategy it will use to attempt to re-elect pro-abortion President Barack Obama.
NARAL president Nancy Keenan said the focus is to try to keep the Obama voting bloc from 2008 together by focusing on encouraging Obama supporters who are questioning whether to vote for him again this time to do so. NARAL will saturate such voters with information about how Obama has been thoroughly pro-abortion and Mitt Romney s position against abortion and against funding the Planned Parenthood abortion business. http://www.lifenews.com/2012/09/19/top-pro-abortion-group-reveals-strategy-to-re-elect-obama/
President Obama Won t Fool Voters on His Attacks on Religious Liberty
President Obama has just released a new web ad, in which he he claims to be a defender of religious freedom and a great admirer of the of faith in our public life.
I take great encouragement from President Obama s latest web ad not because I believe a word he says, but because it shows that our massive, grassroots campaign to stop Obama s HHS Mandate and restore religious freedom is working. http://www.lifenews.com/2012/09/19/president-obama-wont-fool-voters-on-his-attacks-on-religious-liberty/

A new analysis from the Daily Caller of transcripts of questions reporters have asked during White House press briefings show they have not asked questions about Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius, who was found guilty of violating the Hatch Act.

Sebelius violated the Hatch Act, which prohibited federal employees from officially supporting the election or defeat of a candidate. http://www.lifenews.com/2012/09/19/report-shows-media-ignoring-how-sebelius-broke-hatch-act-law/
