Obama to Face New TV Ads Blasting His Radical Abortion Record
In three of the top presidential battleground states President Barack Obama will face $500,000 worth of television ads blasting him over his radical pro-abortion record.
Today the Susan B. Anthony List announced the launch of the Women Speak Out PAC, a super PAC aimed at amplifying the voices of women opposed to President Obama and his extreme abortion record. The super PAC s first expenditure will be a $500,000 television ad buy concentrated in key media markets in Ohio, Virginia, and Florida. http://www.lifenews.com/2012/10/02/obama-to-face-new-tv-ads-blasting-his-radical-abortion-record/
Obama Campaign: Vote Like Your Lady Parts Depend on It
The Obama campaign is, once again, reducing women to the sum of their reproductive organs assuming that women voters have nothing else they are interested in other than abortion. The Obama 2012 campaign s official home on Tumblr approved a new graphic that assumes women are wombs.
Vote like your lady parts depend on it, the text in the graphic says. Because they kinda do.
UPDATE: After massive criticism, the Obama campaign has removed the image from its Tumblr page. http://www.lifenews.com/2012/10/02/obama-campaign-vote-like-your-lady-parts-depend-on-it/
Paul Ryan Blasts Obama HHS Mandate, Not Just a Catholic Thing
On the campaign trail in Iowa, pro-life candidate for Vice President Paul Ryan blasted the Obama administration s HHS mandate, which forces religious groups to pay for abortion-causing drugs for women under Obamacare.
The Des Moines Register has more on Ryan s comments, which made it clear this is an issue all voters should care about, not just Catholics. http://www.lifenews.com/2012/10/02/paul-ryan-blasts-obama-hhs-mandate-not-just-a-catholic-thing/
Obama Admin: Bible Publisher Not Religious Enough for Mandate Opt-Outs
Tyndale House Publishers, which publishes Bibles and other Christian books and multimedia, filed a federal lawsuit Tuesday against the Obama administration s abortion pill mandate.
Tyndale House is one of the world s largest privately held Christian publishers of books, Bibles, and digital media, but it is apparently not religious enough to meet the narrowly-drawn pot-out the Obama administration placed in the HHS mandate. http://www.lifenews.com/2012/10/02/obama-admin-bible-publisher-not-religious-enough-for-mandate-opt-out/
Obama Has Been a Loyal Champion of Planned Parenthood
As Planned Parenthood prepares to celebrate its 96th birthday in October, Americans United for Life launches a month-long series of revelations the release of The Planned Parenthood Exhibits, the continuing case for investigating the nation s largest abortion provider. Each day in the month of October, AUL will release a new backgrounder that highlights grounds for investigating and, ultimately, de-funding Planned Parenthood, which receives more than one million dollars a day in taxpayer subsidies. http://www.lifenews.com/2012/10/02/obama-has-been-a-loyal-champion-of-planned-parenthood/
Catholics: Pray for the Elections, Life and Religious Liberty
Prayer has been central to the Church s observance of Respect Life Month each October since 1972. We pray for the protection of human lives wherever they are threatened, for our nation and leaders, and for God s mercy toward those who have taken innocent lives, promoted such killing, or neglected to care for the most vulnerable.
This Respect Life Month, we face an unprecedented new threat. Ever since the Bill of Rights was ratified, Americans have enjoyed the assurance that the Constitution secured our God-given rights to religious liberty and freedom of conscience. http://www.lifenews.com/2012/10/02/catholics-pray-for-the-elections-life-and-religious-liberty/
Christians, Quit Being Apathetic and Stand Against Abortion
One night over dinner, a friend of mine told me that he had seen a very pregnant homeless woman on the corner of a busy Austin intersection.
I knew the intersection he was referring to there is a HUGE non-denominational church on the corner. I felt confident that she had probably received some assistance from them. Maybe they were in the process of trying to help her find resources. http://www.lifenews.com/2012/10/02/christians-quit-being-apathetic-and-stand-against-abortion/

Students for Life: Honoring Jon and Kortney s Pro-Life Legacy
The term anniversary typically calls to mind a celebration, a time to joyfully count the years since an event first took place. Wedding anniversaries, the anniversary of birth, or even the anniversary of a sobriety date are all reasons to celebrate. However, some anniversaries are set apart to remember and to memorialize a tragic event, like the loss of a loved one. http://www.lifenews.com/2012/10/02/students-for-life-honoring-jon-and-kortneys-pro-life-legacy/
Will Abortion Boat Stir Up Tensions in Islamic Morocco?
LifeNews broke the story last week that the controversial abortion ship run by the pro-abortion group Women on Waves will be headed next to Morocco.
