AARP Members Boo Paul Ryan s Call for Repealing Obamacare
Members of the liberal seniors group AARP booed Paul Ryan during a speech he gave to the organization calling for the repeal of Obamacare. Despite the boos, Ryan pressed on with his call to scrap it.
Leading pro-life groups strongly oppose Obamacare because of the abortion funding and rationing components. http://www.lifenews.com/2012/09/21/aarp-members-boo-paul-ryans-call-for-repealing-obamacare/
Media and Polls are Wrong: We Can Defeat Barack Obama
The mainstream media is working overtime to ensure pro-abortion President Barack Obama is reelected. What they d like us to believe is that momentum is on Obama s side and the Romney campaign is floundering.
After all, despair doesn t exactly drive voters to the polls. Thankfully, as pro-life advocates, we know the games the media plays and we know not to be deterred. The media will write its narrative. It s our job to prove them wrong. http://www.lifenews.com/2012/09/21/media-and-polls-are-wrong-we-can-defeat-barack-obama/
Planned Parenthood Forced to Settle Suit, Failed to Report Child Rapes
A Planned Parenthood abortion business in Ohio has been forced to settle a lawsuit from a teenager on whom it did an abortion and failed to report suspected child rape to authorities.
The child abuse victim has settled with Planned Parenthood, after a lawsuit included multiple charges such as failure to report incestuous statutory rape and sexual abuse of a minor by her father. http://www.lifenews.com/2012/09/21/planned-parenthood-forced-to-settle-suit-failed-to-report-child-rape/

Obama HHS Mandate Could Sterilize Teen Girls Without Parental Consent
CNS News broke the story late last month: At a recent press conference held to discuss the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (a.k.a., Obamacare ), a reporter asked former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi a critical question:
One of the services that health care plans have to offer free of charge [under the HHS mandate] are sterilizations do you agree with the federal government mandating At this point, Congresswoman Pelosi cut the reporter off and responded, You know what, I told you before, let s go to church and talk about our religion. Right here we re talking about public policy as it affects women http://www.lifenews.com/2012/09/21/obama-hhs-mandate-could-sterilize-teen-girls-without-parental-consent/
Pro-Lifers: Tell United s CEO Don t Support Planned Parenthood
Yesterday I received my standard weekly email from my former Planned Parenthood affiliate, Planned Parenthood Gulf Coast. You would think they would have removed my name and email by name, but that is another story.
Anywho, it was a pretty boring update with nothing exciting to report, but as I was scrolling through, something caught my attention. This particular affiliate always has their big gala event at the Hyatt in downtown Houston. Lots of well-to-do Houstonians come to show support of this huge affiliate (4th largest in the country to be exact) and all of the services they provide, including abortion. http://www.lifenews.com/2012/09/21/pro-lifers-tell-uniteds-ceo-dont-support-planned-parenthood/
< /font> Abortion Clinic in Brooklyn to Stop Abortions After 22 Years
A Brooklyn, New York-based abortion center will stop doing abortions after 22 years and will reopen as a legitimate medical center offering help to patients rather than death to unborn children.
Msgr. Philip Reilly and the Helpers of God s Precious Infants, a local pro-life group, have stopped praying outside the Brooklyn Ambulatory Surgery Center in Sunset Park. For the past 22 years, the priest and his devoted pro-life friends have been seeking an end to abortion at the Brooklyn location. Their prayers have been heard as the new owners of the building have said abortions will no longer take place when it reopens as the New York Center for Specialty Surgery. http://www.lifenews.com/2012/09/21/abortion-clinic-in-brooklyn-to-stop-abortions-after-22-years/
Monica Lewinsky Book to Reveal Abortion During Clinton Affair
The new tell-all book that Monica Lewinsky is currently writing will reportedly share more details on the abortion she had of the baby she says she conceived during the time in which she had an affair with President Bill Clinton. http://www.lifenews.com/2012/09/21/monica-lewinsky-book-to-reveal-abortion-during-clinton-affair/
Pregnant Rape Victims: Quit Assuming We Want an Abortion

NFL Player s Unborn Son Survives Mother s Brutal Execution
In 2001, I wrote the following first paragraph: On January 22 on the 28th anniversary of Roe v. Wade North Carolina Superior Court Judge Charles Lamm sentenced 27-year-old Rae Carruth to a minimum of 18 years and 11 months in prison for his role in the execution-style murder of his pregnant girlfriend. http://www.lifenews.com/2012/09/21/nfl-players-unborn-son-survives-hit-mothers-brutal-execution/
Planned Parenthood Tells Teens: Use Slut in a Positive Way
Planned Parenthood s outreach page to teenagers is pushing them to use the term slut in a positive way. This is the latest way in which the abortion business is pushing sex and abortion on young people. http://www.lifenews.com/2012/09/21/planned-parenthood-tells-teens-use-slut-in-a-positive-way/
Canada: MPs Spend Second Hour Debating Motion 312 on Abortion

Waiting for the Wedding Night, Getting Married Right
Among the articles streaming through my Facebook news feed last week, one essay caught some wind resistance. In this opinion piece, Fox News contributor Steven Crowder describes why Waiting till the wedding night getting married the right way is worth it. http://www.lifenews.com/2012/09/21/waiting-for-the-wedding-night-getting-married-right/
Using Abortion to Treat Genetic Disease is Totally Backward
There is a pervasive misconception that prenatal genetic testing along with abortion cures or treats genetic disease. Since a child is not born with a genetic disease, somehow the disease is cured. But killing babies in the womb with a genetic disease doesn t treat anything. It just gets rid of the people with the disease. The disease itself still remains uncured. http://www.lifenews.com/2012/09/21/using-abortion-to-treat-genetic-disease-is-totally-backward/
Court: Illinois Can t Force Pharmacists to Sell Plan B Drug
In a victory for pro-life pharmacists and pharmacies, an Illinois appellate court agreed that the state cannot force them to sell abortion-inducing drugs in violation of their religious views. http://www.lifenews.com/2012/09/21/court-illinois-cant-force-pharmacists-to-sell-plan-b-drug/
Abortion-Parental Notification Battle Returns to Illinois Court
Yesterday, Thomas More Society s special counsel Paul Benjamin Linton argued before the Illinois Supreme Court. The pro-life legal group is seeking to intervene in a lawsuit brought by the Illinois ACLU in an attempt to declare the Illinois Parental Notice of Abortion Act of 1995 unconstitutional. http://www.lifenews.com/2012/09/21/abortion-parental-notification-battle-returns-to-illinois-court/
