Harry Reid Forced to Back Down on Killing Senate Filibuster
Republicans have successfully forced Harry Reid to back down from killing the filibuster in the Senate, which would have paved the way for pro-abortion judges and legislation.
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid and Republican Leader Mitch McConnell have agreed to very modest changes in the filibuster that are leaving some of the most ardent pro-abortion Democratic members of the Senate upset more wasn t done. The liberal lawmakers wanted Reid to implement the talking filibuster reform, which would force senators seeking to block legislation to stay on the Senate floor to keep a filibuster alive rather than just threatening one. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/01/24/harry-reid-forced-to-back-down-on-killing-senate-filibuster/
Congresswoman: Roe v. Wade Abortion Case Affirms Motherhood
A Wisconsin congresswoman is celebrating the 40th anniversary of the Roe v. Wade decision that allowed virtually unlimited abortions throughout pregnancy for any reason. With a comment that is sure to make pro-life people roll their eyes, Rep. Gwen Moore says the decision resulting in nearly 56 million abortions affirms motherhood.
Moore made the comments in an interview on the liberal cable news network MSNBC. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/01/24/congresswoman-roe-v-wade-abortion-case-affirms-motherhood/
Mother Who Said No to Abortion Welcomes Quadruplets
A Houston television station has the story of a mother who rejected abortion and has given birth to quadruplets. Shontae Minor and Khristian Rohena have chosen life for their four precious children rather than kill any of them in abortion.

Is There Any Pro-Life Hope Roe v. Wade Will Be Overturned?
This week, as you and your family join other believers across America in pausing to remember, and to grieve, the 40thyear since one of the worst Supreme Court decisions in our nation s history, we do so differently perhaps, than we ever have before with real, tangible hope that the end of this terrible, open season on children in the womb is coming, at last, to an end.
And with the conviction that our children will, in Jesus name, see the infamous Roe v. Wade decision overturned and the slaughter end in their lifetimes. The current generation of college students will live in a post-Roe era. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/01/24/is-there-any-pro-life-hope-roe-v-wade-will-be-overturned/

New York Governor Pushing Bill for 3rd-Term Abortions
New York Governor Andrew Cuomo is pushing a bill in the New York state legislature that pro-life advocates are aggressively opposing. They say the so-called Reproductive health bill is the the most sweeping abortion legislation in the nation because it would lift limits on third-trimester abortions and allow non-physicians to do abortions.
Gov. Cuomo s bill elevates abortion to a fundamental right and says New York state can t discriminate on abortion in benefits or services or anything else it provides, said Kathleen Gallagher, the New York s Catholic Conference director of pro-life activities. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/01/24/new-york-governor-pushing-bill-for-3rd-term-abortions/

The NIH has restricted research on chimpanzees, and now is likely to retire all but fifty of available chimps to a sanctuary.
From the Nature News story: The US National Institutes of Health (NIH) should dismantle a decades-old colony of 360 chimpanzees, retiring all but roughly 50 of the animals to a national sanctuary, the biomedical agency was told on 22 January in a long-awaited report. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/01/24/obama-administration-protects-chimps-no-protection-for-unborn/
