Paul Ryan: I Guarantee Romney Will Scrap Obama HHS Mandate
Vice-presidential candidate Paul Ryan said over the weekend that the Obama-HHS abortion mandate that pro-life voters strenuously oppose will be gone on day one of a Mitt Romney administration.
According to an AP report, Ryan made the statement over the weekend that the mandate would immediately be repealed as soon as he and Romney take office, should voters replace pro-abortion President Barack Obama with Romney and Ryan. http://www.lifenews.com/2012/09/24/paul-ryan-i-guarantee-romney-will-scrap-obama-hhs-mandate/
New Ad: Barack Obama: Radical on Abortion, Wrong for America
The Susan B. Anthony list is making preparations to push a new television ad exposing President Barack Obama s pro-abortion record, calling him Radical on Abortion, Wrong for America. In an email to supporters, SBA List president Marjorie Dannenfelser talked about the new commercial.
And now we have produced a new, hard-hitting ad that we want to get up on the air immediately in the key swing state of Ohio, she said. Remember: Planned Parenthood is spending millions on deceptive television advertising to mislead voters into thinking that Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan are the radicals when it comes to abortion. It is up to us to counter-punch Planned Parenthood and provide the truth to the voters who will determine this critical election. http://www.lifenews.com/2012/09/24/new-ad-barack-obama-radical-on-abortion-wrong-for-america/
Pro-Life Coalition of Catholics Forms to Support Mitt Romney
A coalition of Catholic leaders and activists have come together to support the candidacy of Mitt Romney, who is taking on pro-abortion President Barack Obama. The coalition includes quite a number of significant pro-life leaders ranging from former Vatican ambassadors Ray Flynn and Mary Ann Glendon to Governor Sam Brownback and Senator Marco Rubio.
The list of members of the Catholics for Romany coalition includes dozens of elected officials, but also grassroots activists like National Right to Life attorney Jim Bopp, former Supreme Court nominee Judge Robert Bork, columnist Rachael Campos Duffy, Attorney General of Virginia Ken Cuccinelli, Susan B. Anthony List president Marjorie Dannenfelser, and Dr. Robert George. http://www.lifenews.com/2012/09/24/pro-life-coalition-of-catholics-forms-to-support-mitt-romney/
Bishop s Office Uses Obama Backer to Instruct Catholic Voting
The office of a Catholic bishop in the battleground state of Ohio is coming under criticism from pro-life groups for having a staffer who publicly supports pro-abortion President Barack Obama instruct Catholics on how to vote.
While, last week, referring to President Barack Obama, Archbishop Chaput said he couldn t vote for someone who is pro-abortion, the office Cleveland Bishop Richard Lennon is downplaying the importance of pro-life issues in the presidential election. http://www.lifenews.com/2012/09/24/bishops-office-uses-obama-backer-to-instruct-catholic-voting/
Unreleased Michael Jackson Pro-Life Song Abortion Papers Now Out
A posthumously released Michael Jackson Pro-Life song called Abortion Papers is hitting home for many listeners now that it has been released to the public.
In a previously-unreleased song, Jackson is heard taking a pro-life position and even goes as far as using the Bible to defend the pro-life position. Recorded in the 1980s, the song recounts the tale of a woman considering an abortion. Also known as Song Groove, the song was released by Sony as part of the 25th anniversary edition of Jackson s popular album Bad. http://www.lifenews.com/2012/09/24/unreleased-michael-jackson-pro-life-song-abortion-papers-now-out/
Fact-Check Web Site Re-Confirms: Obamacare Funds Abortions
A factchecking web site taking a look at the new Planned Parenthood expose book former Komen for the Cure VP Karen Handle wrote re-confirms that Obamacare, once fully implemented, will fund abortions with taxpayer funds.
Former Georgia Secretary of State Karen Handel wrote the book Planned Bullyhood to expose how the nation s biggest abortion business bullied the breast cancer charity into renewing its funding. In the book, Handel claimed the White House was a co-conspirator in that bullying. Handel wrote that Planned Parenthood will receive millions of dollars in grants under the federal government s health care law, or Obamacare. http://www.lifenews.com/2012/09/24/fact-check-web-site-re-confirms-obamacare-funds-abortions/
More Than 1,500 Abortion Clinics Have Closed Since 1991
The pro-life group Pro-Life Nation announced today that its web site AbortionDocs.org has surpassed 3,000 document-uploads that reveal a systemic pattern abuse throughout the abortion industry.
The more than 3,000 documents now online are just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to exposing the health care crisis that exists in the abortion cartel today, said Troy Newman, President of Pro-Life Nation. We have really just begun to document abortion abuses that are occurring every day at abortion clinics that the public mistakenly thinks are providing safe abortions. http://www.lifenews.com/2012/09/24/more-than-1500-abortion-clinics-have-closed-since-1991/
Women Don t Owe Obama Their Vote Because NARAL Says So
In a previous Reason in this series, we wrote about Barack Obama s support for the agenda of Planned Parenthood, the organization that kills 330,000 defenseless unborn human beings in the womb each year. For that reason alone, Obama does not deserve re-election. But Obama also supports the radical agenda of other pro-abortion groups, including NARAL Pro-Choice America. And now NARAL, as it s more commonly known, is returning the favor. http://www.lifenews.com/2012/09/24/women-dont-obama-their-vote-because-pro-abortion-naral-says-so/

Column Claims Sex-Selection Abortion is a Parental Right
A new opinion column claims sex-selection abortion is a parental right. The logic, if you will, goes something like this: if abortion is a right and selecting the gender of a child via reproductive technologies is a right, then selecting gender via abortion is also a right. http://www.lifenews.com/2012/09/24/column-claims-sex-selection-abortion-is-a-parental-right/
