Senate Approves Pro-Abortion John Kerry Secretary of State
The Senate Foreign Relations Committee unanimously approved pro-abortion Sen. John Kerry to replace outgoing pro-abortion Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. The full Senate then voted 94-3 for his nomination.
Most members of the Senate traditionally vote for their Senate colleagues for nominations and all did with the exceptions of Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, Sen. John Cornyn, R-Texas, and Sen. Jim Inhofe, R-Okla. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/01/29/committee-approves-pro-abortion-john-kerry-secretary-of-state/
Manti Te o s Girlfriend Gets 521x More Coverage Than March for Life
A new study from the Media Research Center shows the three major broadcast networks, (ABC, NBC, and CBS) gave 521 times more coverage to Manti Te o s fake dead girlfriend than they gave to over 500,000 real people at the March for Life. The study from MRCs Culture and Media Institute finds ABC, CBS, and NBC devoted close to two-and-a-half hours (147.7 minutes) to the Te o fiasco and just 17 seconds to the March for Life.
As MRC reports on its blog: ABC covered the story of the Notre Dame s linebacker for 63 minutes and 57 seconds, while NBC came close with 59 minutes and 15 seconds. CBS was rational by comparison with just 24 minutes and 31 seconds. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/01/29/manti-teos-girlfriend-gets-521x-more-coverage-than-march-for-life/
7-Year-Old Asks Obama, Please Change the Law Killing Babies
Dear Presedent Obama
My name is Alexander. I m 7. Please change the law about killing babys when they are still in mommy s tummys.
This babys are a live and not one chose to die. Please make a new law that will protect the babys. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/01/29/7-year-old-asks-obama-please-change-the-law-killing-babies/
Group Drops Sick Ad Celebrating Abortion: Happy 40th Anniversary Baby
The pro-abortion legal group that posted an offensive ad celebrating abortion has apparently dropped it, as it no longer shows up at YouTube.
The Center for Reproductive Rights posted the ad with the intro: To celebrate the 40th anniversary of Roe v. Wade we didn t buy a ruby. Instead, the Center for Reproductive Rights asked Mehcad Brooks of the USA Network s Necessary Roughness and HBO s True Blood to prepare a special video message just for you. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/01/29/group-drops-sick-ad-celebrating-abortion-happy-40th-anniversary-baby/
Leaning Forward But Knocked Back: Pro-Lifer Rocks MSNBC Interview
By now, everyone knows that mainstream media once again neglected its duty to inform the American public. Most turned a blind eye to the hundreds of thousands that participated in the March for Life on Friday, January 25th in DC. The MSM was sure to cover the barely one thousand anti-gun/anti-2nd Amendment protestors who assembled at the same National Mall. ABC News, and many media outlets, oddly highlighted Newark Mayor Corey Booker for his deep humanity in his heroic act to save the life of a freezing dog! Way to cover the important stuff. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/01/29/leaning-forward-but-knocked-back-pro-lifer-rocks-msnbc-interview/
Activists Destroy Pro-Life Memorial to Remember Unborn Babies
Pro-abortion activists have destroyed a memorial of crosses set up in a field to remember the 55 million unborn children who have been killed in abortions since Roe v. Wade in 1973.
On Saturday, January 26th, the Rachel s Park Memorial, was desecrated, according to an email from Rev. Rusty Lee Thomas of Elijah Ministries to LifeNews. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/01/29/activists-destroy-pro-life-memorial-to-remember-unborn-babies/
Obama Admin OKs Vending Machine Selling Plan B Morning After Pill
The Obama administration has approved a request by a college in Pennsylvania to sell the Plan B drug through a vending machine. The Food and Drug Administration will let Shippensburg University continue to dispense the morning after pill via a machine that it installed in the school nurse s office.
As The Hill reports, the FDA decided not to intervene following a politically motivated uproar over the vending machine. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/01/29/obama-admin-oks-vending-machine-selling-plan-b-morning-after-pill/

Weird NARAL Video Compares Abortion to Chewing Gum
The pro-abortion group NARAL has just launched a bizarre new video that places abortion on the same moral plane as getting a haircut, picking a sweater, going for a jog or chewing gum all, apparently, things that a woman can choose to do with her body, just like abortion. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/01/29/weird-naral-video-compares-abortion-to-chewing-gum/
Pro-Life Woman: My Generation Knows Abortion Doesn t Liberate Women
As a woman, I have been told by feminists, politicians, world leaders, and even President Obama himself, that abortion liberates women, that the opportunity to simply terminate a pregnancy allows women to fulfill their dreams and grasp the destiny that is so desperately owed to them. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/01/29/pro-life-woman-my-generation-knows-abortion-doesnt-liberate-women/

Scientists Make Human Hearts Built From Adult Stem Cells

Oregon Doctor Pushes Depressed Patient Into Assisted Suicide

Missouri Legislators Press for Tax Credits for Pregnancy Centers
Pro-life state legislators are making a strong push this session to win passage of bills that would revive a state tax credit program which benefits pregnancy resource centers.
