Poll: Obama s Abortion Record Hurts Him in Battleground States
A new poll conducted by the polling company, inc./WomanTrend company and released by the Susan B. Anthony List today shows President Barack Obama s radical pro-abortion record is costing him in key swing states.
Likely swing voters in battleground states are repelled by President Obama s record on abortion and religious liberty, SBA informed LifeNews today. http://www.lifenews.com/2012/09/26/poll-obamas-abortion-record-hurts-him-in-battleground-states/
Obama Admin Appeals Decision Against Abortion-HHS Mandate
The Obama administration has appealed a July ruling that halted enforcement of the Obama administration s abortion pill mandate against a Colorado family-owned business.
The mandate has generated massive opposition from pro-life groups because it forces employers, regardless of their religious or moral convictions, to provide insurance coverage for abortion-inducing drugs, sterilization, and contraception under threat of heavy penalties. http://www.lifenews.com/2012/09/26/obama-admin-appeals-decision-against-abortion-hhs-mandate/
Warning: Prepare for Catholics for Obama Phone Calls
The head of a pro-life committee at a parish I know just received a call from the Obama campaign. The caller asked for her daughter by name, and when she was not there then asked where she could be contacted. Her mother responded by telling the Obama supporter, not to waste her time as my daughter is supporting the pro-life candidates Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan.
When the caller hesitated and acted surprised, the mother, a staunch pro-life Catholic, said.
