Planned Parenthood Begins $3.5M Ad Campaign Attacking Romney
The Planned Parenthood abortion business officially begins its ad campaign today attacking Mitt Romney spending millions to attack the candidate supported by pro-life groups to take on pro-abortion President Barack Obama.
The Planned Parenthood Action Fund, the political arm of the company that does more than 300,000 abortions annually and has endorsed Obama, plans to spend more than $3 million to target voters in the battleground states of Ohio and Virginia with ads bashing Romney for wanting to cut its taxpayer funding. The $3.2 million campaign will feature everything from online ads to old-fashioned door to door politics. http://www.lifenews.com/2012/09/25/planned-parenthood-begins-3-5m-ad-campaign-attacking-romney/
Obama Hits Human Trafficking, But Canceled Bishops Grant Over Abortion
In a speech today, President Barack Obama went after human trafficking, saying it is a priority issue of his administration.
Yet, the Obama Administration put abortion ahead of human trafficking twice by denying a grant to the Catholic bishops to help victims because they wouldn t promote abortion and by refusing to investigate how the Planned Parenthood abortion business covered up potential cases of sex trafficking. http://www.lifenews.com/2012/09/25/obama-hits-human-trafficking-but-canceled-bishops-grant-over-abortion/

Judge Stops Obama Admin From Targeting Pro-Life Advocate
A federal judge, last week, stopped the Obama administration from targeting a peaceful pro-life advocate helping provide abortion alternatives to women heading to an abortion facility in Louisville, Kentucky.
In January 2010, David Hamilton was peacefully and lawfully handing literature to women entering EMW Surgical Center, an abortion clinic. He was not only interfered with illegally by abortion facility volunteers who locked arms to block him from talking to women, but he faced legal action from the Obama administration. http://www.lifenews.com/2012/09/25/judge-stops-obama-admin-from-targeting-pro-life-advocate/
Confirmed: Planned Parenthood Doesn t Offer Women Mammograms
A fact-checking web site is confirming what pro-life advocates have pointed out for the last two years the Planned Parenthood abortion business does not provide mammograms for women.
Former Komen for the Cure vice president Karen Handel has written a new book exposing how the abortion giant pressured the breast cancer charity to renew its hundreds of thousands of dollars in annual funding. Funding was initially denied in part because Planned Parenthood operates as a pass-through that doesn t provide direct health services like mammograms for women but merely takes grant money and pays for mammograms at legitimate medical centers. http://www.lifenews.com/2012/09/25/confirmed-planned-parenthood-doesnt-offer-women-mammograms/
Woman Tells Sidewalk Counselor: This is My Seventh Abortion
The following story comes to LifeNews from Michele Herzog, the manager of Pro-Life Action Ministries of Central Florida, based in Altamonte Springs. Unfortunately, these stories are way too common:
While ministering at the abortuary the other day, a young man kept coming in and out of the center. We tried talking to him, but he was vulgar, rude and unresponsive to our attempt to offer help to him and the young woman he brought to have an abortion. http://www.lifenews.com/2012/09/25/woman-tells-sidewalk-counselor-this-is-my-seventh-abortion/

What do Beethoven, Justin Bieber and Tim Tebow Have in Common?
A professor in a college ethics class presented his students with a problem. He said, A man has syphilis and his wife has tuberculosis. They have had four children: one has died, the other three have what is considered to be a terminal illness.
The mother is pregnant. What do you recommend? After a spirited discussion, the majority of the class voted that she should abort the child. http://www.lifenews.com/2012/09/25/what-do-beethoven-justin-bieber-and-tim-tebow-have-in-common/
