Hospital Will Stop Delivering Babies, Thanks to Obamacare
The Obamacare legislation contains no safeguards to stop taxpayer funding of abortions or abortion businesses. Now, a Pennsylvania hospital has indicated it will stop delivering babies thanks to Obamacare.
The Obamacare law is causing physicians to cut the number of patients they see or leave their practices entirely resulting in problems like this one.

Pew Poll on Abortion, Roe vs. Wade Absurdly Inaccurate
Here we are less than a week away from the 40th anniversary of the wretched Roe v. Wade decision and even the Pew Research Center can t get straight the full breadth of the 1973 decision.
The headlines to the stories reporting on the new Pew poll vary, of course, but in large measure they track the title of Pew s report: Roe v. Wade at 40: Most Oppose Overturning Abortion Decision. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/01/17/pew-poll-on-abortion-roe-vs-wade-absurdly-inaccurate/
Justin Bieber s Mom to Promote Pro-Life Movie Crescendo
I wrote earlier this week that the inspirational short film, Crescendo, would have a VVIP (very, very important person) take a lead in promoting the film.
Movie To Movement has just announced that person is Pattie Mallette, singer Justin Bieber s mother. Mallette has agreed to take on the role of executive producer of Crescendo.

Pro-Life Group Warns About Girl Scouts-Planned Parenthood Ties
A state pro-life group in Missouri is warning pro-life advocates to be careful of the connections between the Girl Scouts organization and the largest abortion business in the nation.
For years, pro-life groups have exposed the links between the Girl Scouts and Planned Parenthood. Now, Missouri Right to Life says that link bears more attention as pro-life citizens across the country have become increasingly concerned about the connections. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/01/17/pro-life-group-warns-about-girl-scouts-planned-parenthood-ties/
Obama Admin Laments Losing International Abortion Battle
The Obama administration told abortion advocates last week it will not be able to push for sexual rights in UN funding talks this spring because of the major setback to reproductive rights at last summer s high level UN meeting on sustainable development in Rio.
The opposition is vocal and well-coordinated said Beth Schlachter, a population policy advisor from the State Department speaking at a Wilson Center event titled Setting Development Goals for Population Dynamics and Reproductive Rights. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/01/17/obama-admin-laments-losing-international-abortion-battle/
Planned Parenthood Cuts Women s Health Care to Do More Abortions
Planned Parenthood is not delivering on its promise to provide expanded services commensurate with the huge increase it has received in government funding an increase of 78 percent over the past six years. While affiliate numbers, facility numbers, and services have decreased, its customer numbers have remained stagnant. Additionally, it has lost 27 percent of its donor base since 2007. Despite all that, its bottom line continues to increase, thanks to its ever-expanding abortion business and government funding.
On January 4, 2013, Planned Parenthood Federation of America released two major documents concerning its operations: . http://www.lifenews.com/2013/01/17/planned-parenthood-cuts-womens-health-care-to-do-more-abortions/
Thanks to Obama, 83% of Americans Want Abortion Limits
President Obama might have some competition for the year s biggest crowd award. According to D.C. hotels, the inauguration is trailing the March for Life in hotel bookings leading reporters to speculate that it might actually eclipse the attendance at the swearing-in. Local officials are expecting Monday s inauguration to draw just 600,000 people-down more than a million from the multitudes who descended on the city in 2009. Both events are expected to attract hundreds of thousands to the National Mall, with the March poised to shatter crowd records for the 40th anniversary of Roe v. Wade. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/01/17/thanks-to-obama-83-of-americans-want-abortion-limits/
