Romney Early Voting Lead Could Portend Election Victory
Mitt Romney holds a strong lead in early voting results that could pave the way for an election victory over pro-abortion President Barack Obama.
Yesterday, Gallup leased a new poll showing Romney leading Obama in early voting, something that had been a key part of the Obama campaign strategy. The polling firm also reported that more Republicans than Democrats have already voted by a margin of 19 to 15 percent. http://www.lifenews.com/2012/10/30/romney-early-voting-lead-could-portend-election-victory/
Pro-Life Baptist Leader Richard Land Endorses Mitt Romney
Richard Land, a Baptist leader who has been one of the leading pro-life evangelicals for many years has written an opinion piece in which he lays out the case for social conservatives as to why they should vote for Mitt Romney.
Land is executive editor of The Christian Post and president of The Ethics & Religious Liberty Commission, but wrote the endorsement piece as a private citizen. The endorsement represents a break from his 24-year-old tradition of not endorsing presidential candidates. http://www.lifenews.com/2012/10/30/pro-life-baptist-leader-richard-land-endorses-mitt-romney/
Catholic Bishop: Vote for Obama Stretches the Imagination

Michael Moore Ad Has Seniors Cussing, Threatening Romney
In a disgusting, exploitive attack on America s seniors, a new ad produced by liberal activist Michael Moore and the pro-abortion left-wing group MoveOn shows seniors cussing out presidential candidate Mitt Romney.

Mitt Romney is Right, De-Fund The Planned Parenthood Abortion Biz
The Register recently ran a news piece slamming Mitt Romney s plan to defund Planned Parenthood. ( Why it matters 10/25/12). Planned Parenthood should be defunded. Here s why:
1. Planned Parenthood duplicates services offered by county health. With overhead costs, this is an inefficient use of taxpayer funds. http://www.lifenews.com/2012/10/30/mitt-romney-is-right-de-fund-the-planned-parenthood-abortion-biz/
Video: Obama s Denying Religious Freedom Denies Social Justice
The pro-life group CatholicVote has released a new video that addresses issues of concern to Catholic voters who may be inclined to support pro-abortion President Barack Obama for re-election.
The video shows how Obama s HHS mandate, which denies religious freedom to Catholic schools, businesses and organizations, makes it more difficult to promote social justice areas like helping the poor. http://www.lifenews.com/2012/10/30/video-obamas-denying-religious-freedom-denies-social-justice/
