Obama Brings Pro-Abortion Record, Low Ratings to Inauguration

Open Letter to Obama on Inauguration Day: Why I Can t Clap For You
Many Americans are praying for you as you are inaugurated today. I am among them, as I participate today in the national commemorative service for the birthday of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and join his family at Ebenezer Baptist Church in Atlanta.
Yet when wild applause erupts today for you here today, I will not be applauding. When standing ovations occur, I will stand to honor my country and the office of its President, but I will not be applauding, because, I do not believe that you should be the current occupant of the White House. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/01/21/open-letter-to-obama-on-inauguration-day-why-i-cant-clap-for-you/

Report: 1500 Abortion Clinics Have Closed Since 1991

Kids Write Obama on Abortion: Scared for Babies Not Yet Born
I m getting sick and tired of the Obama administration using children selectively in order to help the president advocate his public policy positions. As I sat and watched his recent press conference, I finally understood his opposition to the Iraq War. It seems he and the late President Hussein are kindred spirits who share more than just a name. They share a sick penchant for using children as human shields in the middle of war. And make no mistake about it; America is currently at war with itself on many different fronts. As I sat and watched Obama surrounded by little human political shields, three things struck me as being especially hypocritical: http://www.lifenews.com/2013/01/21/kids-write-obama-on-abortion-scared-for-babies-not-yet-born/
Former Abortion Clinic Workers Tell the Real Truth About Abortion
Increasingly, doctors, nurses, counselors, and other abortion clinic workers are speaking out about the deep, dark secrets that go on within the clinics.

Sadly, some remain. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/01/21/former-abrotion-clinic-workers-tell-the-real-truth-about-abortion/

40 Years Later, Abortion Has Solved Nothing for Women

Over the next 30 days, North Carolina is expected to become the site for the next battle over President Obama s signature legislation, the Affordable Care Act (ACA). Former Gov.
