Shocking Time Magazine Cover: After 40 Years, Abortion Activists Losing
The mainstream media will get around to covering abortion this month as the nation marks 40 years of legalized abortion for any reason throughout pregnancy via Roe v Wade. Time magazine has released its issue, which comes to a shocking conclusion.
The cover article makes the case that the pro-abortion side is losing the abortion debate, saying, 40 Years Ago, Abortion Rights Activists Won an Epic Victory With Roe v. Wade. They re been losing ever since. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/01/03/shocking-time-magazine-cover-after-40-years-abortion-activists-losing/
House Republicans Re-Elect Pro-Life Speaker John Boehner
Turning back rumors that he would face a challenge from some conservative disgruntled about his leadership, House Republicans re-elected Speaker John Boehner to preside over the House of Representatives.
While some conservative groups have been looking to support a challenge to the pro-life House GOP leader, other conservatives say it would be detrimental at a time when Republicans need to rally together to present a united opposition to President Barack Obama and Senate Democrats during the next two years. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/01/03/house-republicans-re-elect-pro-life-speaker-john-boehner/

Thousands to Join Hobby Lobby Appreciation Day Over Mandate Fight
Tens of thousands of Americans have committed to support the Christian crafts store Hobby Lobby on January 5 after courts have refused to issued an ruling stopping the Obama HHS mandate.
Hobby Lobby will incur $1.3 million in fines each day from the Obama administration for not following the mandate, which forces companies to play for birth control and drugs that may cause abortions for their employees. To support the company, one supporter has launched a new effort, that has quickly gone viral, to patronize the business. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/01/03/thousands-to-join-hobby-lobby-appreciation-day-over-mandate-fight/
Abortion Results in the Rejection, Destruction of Relationships
In Rama was there a voice heard, lamentation, and weeping, and great mourning, Rachel weeping for her children, and would not be comforted, because they are not. Matthew 2:18
Last week, just a few days before Christmas, I was standing outside an abortion clinic, praying and singing. The weather was abysmal it was very cold, and sleeting. It was the first time I d ever been the only one outside the clinic while it was open. I hadn t intended to stop there, but I was doing something else in the area and had to wait for someone to pick me up. I sang Christmas carols and hymns and prayed aloud. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/01/03/abortion-results-in-the-rejection-destruction-of-relationships/
Scientists Discover Aborted Baby Cells Living in Mother s Brain
Scientific American termed the research findings another way: Scientists discover children s cells living in mothers brains.
But I wanted to drive home a touching point: Mothers who terminate their pregnancies apparently don t completely rid themselves of their babies. The cells of murdered children live on inside their mothers to help or perhaps hurt them: http://www.lifenews.com/2013/01/03/scientists-discover-aborted-baby-cells-living-in-mothers-brain/
Media Almost Silent on Hobby Lobby Battle Against HHS Mandate
Usually when President Obama s opponents are handed a defeat, ABC, CBS and NBC are quick to crow about it. That s why their silence on the Supreme Court s Christmas ruling against retail chain Hobby Lobby is so curious.
Hobby Lobby s owners, the Green family, filed a suit against the Federal government earlier this year, arguing that ObamaCare s so-called contraception mandate would violate their faith by covering abortion-causing drugs or be exposed to severe penalties. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/01/03/media-almost-silent-on-hobby-lobby-battle-against-hhs-mandate/
Catholic Health Company 10th to Stop HHS Mandate Enforcement
A Catholic health management company has become the tenth entity to receive a favorable judicial ruling preventing enforcement of the pro-abortion HHS mandate that is a part of Obamacare.
Attorneys for Jubilee Campaign s Law of Life Project and Thomas More Society filed federal and state court motions for preliminary injunction to stop the state of Illinois and the Obama administration from imposing confiscatory fines and other legal sanctions on a Catholic health management company for exercising their state and federal free exercise of religion rights not to be forced to pay for drugs that may cause abortions for their employees. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/01/03/catholic-health-company-10th-to-stop-hhs-mandate-enforcement/
Judge Dismisses Fraud Suit From Ex-Planned Parenthood Employee
A federal judge has dismissed a lawsuit filed by a former employee of the Planned Parenthood abortion business s Iowa affiliate. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/01/03/judge-dismisses-fraud-suit-from-ex-planned-parenthood-employee/

Michigan Abortions Up Slightly, But Down 52% Since 1987
A new report from the state health department in Michigan shows the number of abortions in 2011 the most recent year for which figures are available are up very slightly. But, since 1987, abortions in Michigan have dropped more than 50 percent. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/01/03/michigan-abortions-up-slightly-but-down-52-since-1987/
