Ad Will Tell Ohio Voters: Obama is an Abortion Radical
A new television ad sponsored by the pro-life Susan B. Anthony List pro-life women s political group will run across the battleground state of Ohio and warn voters that President Barack Obama is an Abortion Radical.

The SBA List informed LifeNews today that a weeklong $150,000 television ad buy across Ohio will air that exposes President Obama s extreme abortion record including taxpayer funding of abortion. The ads will air in the media markets of Columbus, Cleveland-Akron, Dayton, and Youngstown though October 2. http://www.lifenews.com/2012/09/27/ad-will-tell-ohio-voters-obama-is-an-abortion-radical/

Obama, Allies Spend $11 Million Attacking Romney on Abortion
New figures show the Obama re-election campaign and the president s pro-abortion allies have collectively spent approximately $11 million on advertising on the issue of abortion seeking to influence voters to oppose Mitt Romney.

According to ThinkProgress.org, Behind the scenes, candidates and outside groups have poured at least $16.8 million into abortion-related advertising during the 2012 cycle, more than two-thirds of which has come from the Obama campaign and its allies. http://www.lifenews.com/2012/09/27/obama-allies-spend-11-million-attacking-romney-on-abortion/

No Comparison Between Pro-Life Catholic Ryan and Pro-Abortion Biden
The conventional wisdom holds that both vice-presidential candidates, Rep. Paul Ryan and Vice President Joe Biden, are roughly equal in terms of their Catholic standing: Ryan is good on the life issues, but weak on social justice; the reverse is said to be true of Biden. But is it a draw? Not even close: Only one of these Catholics Biden has been criticized, reprimanded, and sanctioned by the bishops. Make that 17 bishops.

Before detailing all the trouble Biden has gotten into with the bishops, some debunking of the conventional wisdom is in order. Sister Simone Campbell, executive director of NETWORK, a Catholic dissident organization, is responsible for much of the mythology about Ryan. http://www.lifenews.com/2012/09/27/no-comparison-between-pro-life-catholic-ryan-and-pro-abortion-biden/

Samuel L. Jackson Promotes Planned Parenthood in F-Bomb Obama Video
Actor Samuel L. Jackson is coming under criticism from conservatives today for a video he narrates that repeatedly uses profane language to attack Mitt Romney and promote pro-abortion President Barack Obama s re-election.

The Dr. Seuss-esque video features a young girl attempting to convince her parents to get excited about voting Obama in for another four-year-term. http://www.lifenews.com/2012/09/27/samuel-l-jackson-promotes-planned-parenthood-in-f-bomb-obama-video/

TurboTax Added to New List of Companies Backing Planned Parenthood
The pro-life organization that maintains the list of corporations that make direct corporate contributions to the nation s largest abortion business has released an update list of those companies.

Life Decisions International says its campaign to stop companies from making grants to Planned Parenthood continues to pay dividends, thanks to the participation of pro-life advocates in boycotting those companies and contacting them to explain why. http://www.lifenews.com/2012/09/27/turbotax-makes-updated-list-of-companies-backing-planned-parenthood/

40 Days for Life Campaign Saving Lives From Abortion Already
I m fresh from a visit with a wonderful group of volunteers at the 40 Days for Life vigil in St. Paul, Minnesota and I ve got great news.

One of our main prayers during these 40 days is that children scheduled for abortion will be spared through prayer, fasting and God s love being shown in the public right-of-way outside the abortion centers. http://www.lifenews.com/2012/09/27/40-days-for-life-campaign-saving-lives-from-abortion-already/


Aetna Forced to Pay $15M for Making Companies Cover Abortions
Insurance company Aetna has agreed to pay a $1.5 million fine because it routinely provided coverage for elective abortions, contrary to Missouri law making companies pay for abortion services.

Aetna [i]n some cases, provided coverage for contraceptives without allowing employers to opt out of this coverage , also in violation of state law. http://www.lifenews.com/2012/09/27/aetna-forced-to-pay-15m-for-making-companies-cover-abortions/

San Francisco Liberals Trash Pro-Life Billboard With Black Baby

Komen and Planned Parenthood: Betrayed From Within, Part 1
For 29 years Nancy Brinker and Susan G. Komen for the Cure enjoyed the adoration of the masses. There is no better story than launching an organization to stop breast cancer at the request of one s dying sister. http://www.lifenews.com/2012/09/27/komen-and-planned-parenthood-betrayed-from-within-part-1/

Abortion Doctor Who Fed Girl Babies to Dogs Out on Bail

Men Deserve the Chance to Speak Out on Abortion, Too
It s not unusual to hear pro-aborts say that men don t have a right to speak out against abortion. They don t deserve a seat at the table. http://www.lifenews.com/2012/09/27/men-deserve-the-chance-to-speak-out-on-abortion-too/

Pro-Abortion Judge Opens Door for Rapist Father s Visitation Rights
The specter of rape is pro-choicers heaviest artillery in the mythical War on Women. Rape is a crime so vile that they can t help but salivate at the thought of new and creative ways to slander their political opponents by tying them to it. Of course, all this crying wolf really does is define misogyny down as women face true victimization elsewhere. http://www.lifenews.com/2012/09/27/pro-abortion-judge-opens-door-for-rapist-fathers-visitation-rights/

Dutch Euthanasia Preys on Mentally Ill, Psychiatric Patients

Senate Fails to Sneak Through Treaty Promoting Abortion
A surprise attempt to pass the UN Disability treaty in the U.S. Senate last Thursday was thwarted when Senator Mike Lee announced he and 36 other senators object to passing any treaty at this time. The 37 senators are enough to block treaties. http://www.lifenews.com/2012/09/27/senate-fails-to-sneak-through-treaty-promoting-abortion/
