Democratic Platform Opposes Any Effort to Limit Abortions
Democrats at the 2012 Democratic National Convention are set to approve a platform today that is unambiguously pro-abortion and opposes any effort whatsoever to stop any abortions. The platform also calls on forcing Americans to pay for abortions at taxpayer expense.
The platform Democrats will approve rejects efforts to stop forcing taxpayers to fund Planned Parenthood, the nation s largest abortion business and supports the Obama HHS mandate that forces religious groups to pay for and refer women for abortion-causing drugs under Obamacare. http://www.lifenews.com/2012/09/04/democratic-platform-opposes-any-effort-to-stop-abortions/
Democrats Remove Any Mention of God From DNC Platform
Democrats have removed any mention of God from their party platform, dropping language from the 2008 version that at least had a passing reference to the Creator whom the founders of the nation explained grants the rights we enjoy.
Eagle-eyed reporter David Brody of CBN News discovered the omission. Guess what? God s name has been removed from the Democratic National Committee platform, he writes. The Brody File has calls into DNC to explain why God s name has been dropped from the platform. Some critics will suggest that when you have planks in your platform that support abortion rights and gay marriage then it s no wonder that God s name would be dropped as well. http://www.lifenews.com/2012/09/04/democrats-remove-any-mention-of-god-from-dnc-platform/
Missing! Nobody Attends Planned Parenthood DNC Rally
The movie Field of Dreams promised, If you build it, they will come. The Planned Parenthood abortion business built a big stage and set up a large area for Democrats to attend their rally today. And no one came.
To hear Planned Parenthood tell the story in pictures, Newark Mayor Cory Booker appears to have a huge crowd listening to his every word as he speaks from the stage. Booker told the handful of people attending that you don t love women if you oppose Planned Parenthood subsidies and abortion on demand. http://www.lifenews.com/2012/09/04/missing-nobody-attends-planned-parenthood-dnc-rally/
MSNBC Host: Get Your Abortions Now In Case Republicans Win
Touré Neblett, a co-host of The Cycle on MSNBC, is garnering criticism from pro-life advocates today after sending out a re-tweet on Twitter encouraging women to get abortions in case Mitt Romney defeats President Barack Obama in November.
Girls, get your abortions NOW in case the Republicans win, the re-tweeted message said. http://www.lifenews.com/2012/09/04/msnbc-host-get-your-abortions-now-in-case-republicans-win/
Pro-Abortion Leaders Brag About Speaking at Democrat Convention
The president of Planned Parenthood and the head of the pro-abortion group NARAL are both excited to be speaking at the Democratic convention. This is the convention sponsored by the party that will approve a platform calling for unlimited abortions paid for at taxpayer expense. On the other hand, Republicans approved a strongly pro-life platform.
Planned Parenthood president Cecile Richards tweeted a picture of her testing the microphone at the rostrum on the convention floor, with the note, I got to check out the DNC stage in preparation for my speech Wednesday- it looks amazing. http://www.lifenews.com/2012/09/04/pro-abortion-leaders-brag-about-speaking-at-democrat-convention/
Obama Campaigns on Abortion to Hide His Economic Failure
In the three days of speechifying that constituted the 2012 Republican National Convention, precious little time or rhetoric was devoted to the topic of abortion. While Messrs Romney and Ryan (along with notable speakers including Condoleezza Rice and Marco Rubio) delivered rousing speeches certain to ignite the conservative base, the American people heard little from Republicans about the death toll of the unborn in America a staggering number which tops 55 million and continues to climb.
Instead, the focus of Republicans this election cycle is on jobs, the economy, and the debt/deficit debacle. It is on these issues that the President is most vulnerable, and these issues that are most pivotal to independents whose support is so critical to Romney s chances come November. http://www.lifenews.com/2012/09/04/obama-campaigns-on-abortion-to-hide-his-economic-failure/
Lila Rose: Pro-Lifers Must Expose Obama s Abortion Record Now
As the Democratic Party establishment puts on an abortion-palooza at their convention in Charlotte this week, it is important that the pro-life community speaks boldly and unequivocally about how out of step with women and numerous other constituencies the President and the Democratic leadership are when it comes to their taxpayer funding of abortion on demand policies.
The record is quite clear: President Obama is the most pro-abortion, anti-religion president in American history. Using our vast prolife network, from blogging to social media to earned media, I hope we can join our voices together to educate the public and the media about President Obama s extremist obsession with abortion. http://www.lifenews.com/2012/09/04/lila-rose-pro-lifers-must-expose-obamas-abortion-record-now/
Thursday Webast Will Encourage Pro-Life Voters to Get Involved
Please join me and other pro-life leaders this Thursday, September 6th at 9:00pm EST for a national I Vote Pro-Life First webcast. http://www.lifenews.com/2012/09/04/thursday-webast-will-encourage-pro-life-voters-to-get-involved/
Pro-Abortion Catholic Group to Host DNC Religious Liberty Panel
Democrats are coming under fire from the pro-life Catholic League, which is upset a pro-abortion Catholic group has been allowed to host an event on the first day of the Democratic National Convention supposedly touting religious liberty. http://www.lifenews.com/2012/09/04/pro-abortion-catholic-group-to-host-dnc-religious-liberty-panel/
American Airlines Won t Let Teen With Down Syndrome Fly First Class
This is the 3rd story I ve posted like this. I m not sure if it s because I m becoming more sensitive to stories about people with Down syndrome being treated unfairly, or if the media is starting just starting to report more stories like these. Either way, I think this story deserves to have some attention. http://www.lifenews.com/2012/09/04/american-airlines-wont-let-teen-with-down-syndrome-fly-first-class/
Stupak Admits Obama Violated His Executive Order on Obamacare, Abortion
Former Congressman Bart Stupak admitted during a panel discussion at the Democratic National Convention that he may have been hoodwinked by pro-abortion President Barack Obama over Obamacare. http://www.lifenews.com/2012/09/04/stupak-admits-obama-violated-his-executive-order-on-obamacare-abortion/
Pro-Lifers to Eastwood White House, Leave Empty Chair
I get that a lot. Apparently because I think innocent human life, particularly the most vulnerable and the least among us , should be protected from being killed, this means I hate, dis-like or mistrust women (that s the misogyny part). http://www.lifenews.com/2012/09/03/are-pro-lifers-misogynist-pigs-who-hate-women/
Liberals Selective Compassion: Help the Poor, Ignore the Unborn
Forty years ago, in A Theory of Justice, the late philosopher John Rawls made the phrase veil of ignorance part of America s intellectual lexicon. http://www.lifenews.com/2012/09/04/liberals-selective-compassion-help-the-poor-ignore-the-unborn/
Clinic Had Woman Drive Home After Abortion, Hemorrhaging on Sidewalk
The Susan B. Anthony List Women Speak Out: Abortion is NOT Health Care bus tour made a stop in Fort Pierce, Florida, last week, where I met staff from Pregnancy Care Center, the resource center featured in the 2010 HBO documentary 12th & Delaware. http://www.lifenews.com/2012/09/04/clinic-had-woman-drive-home-after-abortion-hemorrhaging-on-sidewalk/
Is God the Biggest Aborter Because Some Pregnancies End in Miscarriage?
This is a clip from an episode of Life Report called Does the Bible s Silence Justify Abortion? In this clip, I asked Scott Klusendorf from Life Training Institute to respond to a common pro-choice argument made to pro-life Christians. http://www.lifenews.com/2012/09/04/is-god-the-greatest-aborter-because-some-pregnancies-end-in-miscarriage/
Since 2010, 32 States Have Enacted Over 100 Pro-Life Laws
Most news coverage of abortion-related issues tends to focus on developments at the federal level. Judicial nominees, federal legislation, and Supreme Court decisions constitute a large percentage of abortion-related coverage. http://www.lifenews.com/2012/09/04/since-2010-32-states-have-enacted-over-100-pro-life-laws/
Complaint Filed Against DA Who Dropped Planned Parenthood Charges
A formal ethics complaint has been filed against Johnson County District Attorney Steve Howe alleging professional misconduct in Howe s mishandling of the 107-court criminal case against Comprehensive Health of Planned Parenthood in Overland Park, Kansas. That case was originally filed in 2007 by Howe s predecessor, Phill Kline after years of investigation and Sebelius-era obstruction. http://www.lifenews.com/2012/09/04/complaint-filed-against-da-who-dropped-planned-parenthood-charges/
