Obama Calls Planned Parenthood Abortion Biz to Say Thanks
The president of the Planned Parenthood abortion business tweeted today that President Barack Obama called it to thank them for all they are doing.

During his time as president, pro-life advocates have sometimes referred to President Barack Obama as the Abortion President because of his extensive list of actions pushing abortion and abortion funding. Obama appears to have cemented that title by becoming the first president to call the nation s biggest abortion business to thank them. http://www.lifenews.com/2012/09/10/obama-calls-planned-parenthood-abortion-biz-to-thank-them/

Romney: I Want Roe Overturned, Will Stop Obama Abortion Funding

Planned Parenthood s Largest Ad Buy Ever Slams Romney on Abortion
The Planned Parenthood abortion business is making its single largest television advertising purchase in its history and the ads will run in key battleground states attacking Mitt Romney over his opposition to abortion.

Catholic Professor Claims Obama Pro-Life, Deserves Re-Election
In recent election cycles, Democrats have made a series of ham-handed attempts to convince voters that they would actually do a better job lowering abortion rates than Republicans have.

In 2004, Sojourners ran an article by Glen Harold Stassen which used data from a sample of states to claim the abortion rate went up under President Bush. However, comprehensive data later released by the CDC revealed the abortion rate actually fell during President Bush s first term in office. http://www.lifenews.com/2012/09/10/catholic-professor-claims-obama-pro-life-deserves-re-election/

Letter: Apple May be Enabling Forced Abortions in China
Apple, the maker of the popular iPhone, iPad, and computers, is the subject of a new letter by human rights campaigners who are concerned that the electronics giant is facilitating forced abortions in China with its pregnancy testing policies.

Study: One Abortion Increases a Woman s Death Risk 45%
A single induced abortion increases the risk of maternal death by 45 percent compared to women with no history of abortion, according to a new study of all women of reproductive age in Denmark over a 25 year period.

tableIn addition, each additional abortion is associated with an even higher death rate. Women who had two abortions were 114 percent more likely to die during the period examined, and women had three or more abortions had a 192 percent increased risk of death. http://www.lifenews.com/2012/09/10/study-one-abortion-increases-a-womans-death-risk-45/
