Planned Parenthood Takes Credit for Re-Electing Obama
A federal court today stopped enforcement of the Obama administration s abortion pill mandate against a Bible publisher which filed a lawsuit against it.
The mandate has generated massive opposition from pro-life groups because it forces employers, regardless of their religious or moral convictions, to provide insurance coverage for abortion-inducing drugs, sterilization, and contraception under threat of heavy penalties. http://www.lifenews.com/2012/11/16/bible-publisher-beats-obama-abortion-hhs-mandate-in-court/
97 Republicans Tell Obama: Don t Nominate Susan Rice for State
Some 97 Republican members of the House of Representatives signed a letter Monday urging President Barack Obama not to nominate Susan Rice as Secretary of State. Rice, who has promoted abortion internationally as the U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, would follow pro-abortion Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, who has announced she will step down for a replacement.
Rep. Jeff Duncan, a South Carolina Republican, organized the letter and obtained the signatures for it and, according to The Hill, the letter centers on foreign policy as the reason. http://www.lifenews.com/2012/11/19/97-republicans-tell-obama-dont-nominate-susan-rice-for-state/
Planned Parenthood Has Closed 173 Clinics in Last 20 Years
Planned Parenthood will close many of its clinics before the next presidential election.
I have been actively fighting Planned Parenthood since 1985. It s clear to me that the American public is ready to throw Planned Parenthood into the dustbin of history. Since the mid-1990s, the citizens have been forcing Planned Parenthood to retreat. http://www.lifenews.com/2012/11/19/planned-parenthood-has-closed-173-clinics-in-last-20-years/
From Aerosmith s Steven Tyler s Girlfriend to Pro-Life Advocate
Attendees at the Life Legal Defense Foundation s annual benefit dinner in Santa Clara, California received a firsthand account of Julia Holcomb s story.
At 16, Holcomb became involved with Steven Tyler, lead singer of the Rock Band Aerosmith. The relationship led to Tyler becoming Holcomb s legal guardian, asking her to have a child with him, and later, asking her to marry him. http://www.lifenews.com/2012/11/19/from-aerosmiths-steven-tylers-girlfriend-to-pro-life-advocate/
Republicans Must Win the Culture War to Regain Presidency
President Obama won the 2012 presidential election by accumulating some of the most one-sided electoral constituencies in modern political history. Looking at a breakdown of the 2012 election exit polling, Obama won the 18- to 29-year-old vote 60% to 37%, in spite of the fact that half of all recent college graduates are unemployed or underemployed.
He won women by 11 points and unmarried women by an incredible 36 points. The marriage gap was far greater than the gender gap. http://www.lifenews.com/2012/11/19/republicans-must-win-the-culture-war-to-regain-presidency/
Abortion is Sexism at Its Worst, Does Nothing for Women
At some point during the lead-up to the 2004 presidential election, I found myself in a cold South Florida radio broadcast studio having an on-air and not-so-friendly chat with a representative of the National Organization for Women. Once I d laid waste to her ridiculous objections to a member of my gender discussing abortion, she begrudgingly allowed the hostess to move on to RU 486, the topic we were there to discuss.
During her outlandish opening comments in defense of the caustic and deadly abortifacient the woman said... http://www.lifenews.com/2012/11/19/abortion-is-sexism-at-its-worst-does-nothing-for-women/

Catholic University Rejects Pro-Life Speaker, OKs Peter Singer
Catholic Fordham University is coming under fire from pro-life advocates for rejecting a pro-life speaker but then deciding it is okay to bring pro-infanticide speaker Peter Singer to campus.
Fordham University s president Fr. Joseph McShane, S.J. determined conservative and pro-life author Ann Coulter was too hateful and needlessly provocative to speak on campus. But, as the Cardinal Newman Society indicates, Fordham hosted Singer at a conference entitled Conference with Peter Singer: Christians and Other Animals: Moving the Conversation Forward. http://www.lifenews.com/2012/11/19/catholic-university-rejects-pro-life-speaker-oks-peter-singer/
