Democrats Add God Back to Platform After Booing Three Times
After massive public backlash, Democrats have put God back in their platform, but it took three votes on the floor of the Democratic convention to do so. Delegates booed and shouted down the idea as Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa of Los Angeles is seen clearly confused about how to handle the vote when so many Democrats refused to support the idea.
Following the vote, Debbie Wasserman Schultz tweeted and claimed, The platform is being amended to maintain consistency with the personal views expressed by the prez
AP indicates President Barack Obama personally intervened to change the Democrat platform language on including God. But less than 24 hours ago, White House spokesman Ben LaBolt, according to reporter David Freddoso, said, The platform represents the inclusiveness of the party and represents the president s positions and vision. http://www.lifenews.com/2012/09/05/democrats-reverse-stance-put-god-back-in-platform-amid-massive-boos/
Michelle Obama: My Husband Stands for Promoting Abortion
First Lady Michelle Obama made it clear just what President Barack Obama stands for as he campaigns for re-election to another four-year term in the White House: abortion.
Although Obama never said the word, Democrats never do these days in a tacit acknowledgement to the fact that a majority of Americans are pro-life, Michelle Obama talked about how Barack promoted pro-abortion Obamacare as president and how he stands for abortion. http://www.lifenews.com/2012/09/04/michelle-obama-my-husband-stands-for-promoting-abortion/
NARAL Pro-Abortion President Rips Mitt Romney at DNC Convention
Nancy Keenan, the president of one of the biggest pro-abortion groups in the country, attacked Mitt Romney on the issue of abortion during the Democratic convention Tuesday night.
Put simply, women in America cannot trust Mitt Romney, Keenan claimed, despite the fact that Romney leads among married women voters. We cannot trust Mitt Romney to protect our health. He would repeal ObamaCare, taking away our access to better maternity and prenatal care, and the law s near universal coverage of birth control. And we cannot trust Mitt Romney to respect our rights. http://www.lifenews.com/2012/09/04/naral-pro-abortion-president-rips-mitt-romney-at-dnc-convention/
Pro-Life Groups Blast Democrats for Abortion-Palooza Convention
The first day of the Democratic convention was filled with speakers repeating the same mantra over and over: we must celebrate abortion and Mitt Romney is an extremist because he has pro-life values and supports religious liberty.
NARAL president Nancy Keenan spent several minutes attacking Romney on abortion and his opposition to forcing religious groups that pay for or refer women for abortion-causing drugs. First Lady Michelle Obama made it clear that her husband, President Barack Obama is steadfastly committed to abortion. http://www.lifenews.com/2012/09/05/pro-life-groups-blast-democrats-for-abortion-palooza-convention/
DNC Participants Pro-Choice on Abortion, But Nothing Else
A hilarious-but-tragic video making the rounds today on the Internet shows participants at the 2012 Democratic National Convention interviewed on camera about their views on abortion and other political issues. As Reason magazine s film crew shows, Democrats are pro-choice on abortion but nothing else.
The official Democratic Party platform strongly and unequivocally supports Roe v. Wade and a woman s right to make decisions regarding her pregnancy, including a safe and legal abortion, regardless of ability to pay. http://www.lifenews.com/2012/09/05/dnc-participants-pro-choice-on-abortion-but-nothing-else/
Democrats Turn Off Independent Voters With Abortion Worship
Following day one of the Democratic National Convention, the consensus on the part of most political observers is that Democrats are risking alienating themselves and hurting President Barack Obama s re-election chances because of their focus on abortion.
The Washington Examiner put the problem font and center in a new editorial noting that Democrats are spending considerably more time promoting abortion than focusing on the beleaguered economy. http://www.lifenews.com/2012/09/05/democrats-turn-off-independent-voters-with-abortion-worship/
No Balloon Drop for Obama? Maybe Drop Condoms or Dancing Vaginas
With a supposed threat of rain or fewer-than-expected wanting to show up to President Barack Obama s nomination celebration on Thursday night, Democrats have moved their finale. Instead of holding it at the 74,000-seat Bank of America Stadium, Democrats are moving it to Time Warner Cable Arena, one-third the size, where the rest of the convention is being held.
Normally, with an indoor nomination acceptance speech, a political party unleashes a festival of balloons and confetti to mark the occasion as Republicans did last week. However, with no time to prepare for such festivities, Democrats will have to come up with some other way to laud Obama. http://www.lifenews.com/2012/09/05/no-balloon-drop-for-obama-maybe-drop-condoms-or-dancing-vaginas/
Doctor Arrested for Raping Thousands of Women During Abortions
Police have arrested an abortion practitioner operating in the African nation of Ghana who reportedly raped or sexually abused potentially thousands of women on whom he did abortions, claiming he needed to have sex with them to open their birth canals. . http://www.lifenews.com/2012/09/05/doctor-arrested-for-raping-thousands-of-women-during-abortions/

Study: Women More Likely to Die After Abortion, Not Childbirth
A new study of the medical records for nearly half a million women in Denmark reveals significantly higher maternal death rates following abortion compared to delivery. This finding has confirmed similar large-scale population studies conducted in Finland and the United States, but contradicts the widely held belief that abortion is safer than childbirth. http://www.lifenews.com/2012/09/05/study-shows-women-more-likely-to-die-after-abortion-not-childbirth/
Media Hides Fact: Planned Parenthood Does 40% of Abortions

Bart Stupak Suffering From Voter s Remorse on Pro-Abortion Obamacare
It became apparent on Tuesday that former Congressman Bart Stupak (D-MI) is suffering from a bout of voter s remorse. In March of 2010, he and a coalition of pro-life democrats made an eleventh-hour decision to vote in favor of the Affordable Care Act (ACA), with the justification that an executive order to be issued by President Obama would ensure that existing restrictions on federal funding for abortion would apply to the ACA. http://www.lifenews.com/2012/09/05/bart-stupak-suffering-from-voters-remorse-on-pro-abortion-obamacare/
Women Getting Abortions Seven Times More Likely to Be Abused
The issue of rape and abortion has been at the forefront of the national conversation over abortion, but a new study finds women who get abortions are more likely to face physical abuse. http://www.lifenews.com/2012/09/05/women-getting-abortions-seven-times-more-likely-to-be-abused/

Texas Planned Parenthood Groups Merge, Form $30M Tax-Funded Organization

Planned Parenthood Insider Now Works for Assisted Suicide Group
