Obama Admin Has Lost 10 of 14 HHS Abortion Mandate Decisions
Leave it to the federal government to issue an 80-page document that could have been summed up in two words: nothing s changed. Yesterday, the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) had tipped off news outlets that it was set to offer an olive branch to religious groups on its abortion, contraception, and sterilization mandate.
The compromise, HHS promised, would alleviate the concerns of organizations like Catholic Charities, hospitals, or colleges who are forced to provide life-destroying drugs against their will or pay the price. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/02/03/obama-admin-has-lost-10-of-14-hhs-abortion-mandate-decisionscis/
IRS Admits Obamacare s Cost is $20,000 Per Family
Participating in ObamaCare will cost the average American family at least $20,000 per year!
The IRS (which is charged with enforcing the onerous penalties and fines of the President s healthcare reform law) has finally released a cost analysis based on ObamaCare regulations showing that the cheapest healthcare plan in 2016 will cost average American families of four or five members $20,000 per year for the so-called bronze plan.
CNSNews.com is reporting http://www.lifenews.com/2013/02/03/irs-admits-obamacares-cost-is-20000-per-family/
EWTN Will Continue its Lawsuit Against HHS Abortion Mandate
The Catholic television station EWTN is not happy with the revisions proposed to the HHS mandate, saying they do not offer the legal protection it needs to not be forced to comply.
The station sent LifeNews the following statement: This morning the US Department of Health and Human Services issued a notice of proposed rulemaking on the government mandate that employee health plans must provide contraception, sterilization and abortion-inducing drugs as part of their coverage." http://www.lifenews.com/2013/02/03/ewtn-will-continue-its-lawsuit-against-hhs-abortion-mandate/
Reproductive Justice? Not for Men Hurt By Abortion
In recent years, there s been a lot of buzz about reproductive justice in the media and in political discourse. For those not familiar with the phrase, here is a definition from Spark, a self-described reproductive justice organization:
SPARK defines Reproductive Justice as a social justice movement rooted in the belief that individuals and communities should have the resources and power to make sustainable and liberatory decisions about their bodies, genders, sexualities, and lives. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/02/03/reproductive-justice-not-for-men-hurt-by-abortion/
New Brochure Reveals the Truth About Planned Parenthood
To me, they were like the good guys; I thought they just handed out the pill and condoms.
Planned Parenthood publicationThat s what 47-year-old Karen told HLA about Planned Parenthood (PP)-the nation s largest abortion chain. No wonder Georgetown grad student Sandra Fluke is its biggest fan. Free contraceptives and free sex. What more could an independent, liberated, young woman ask for? http://www.lifenews.com/2013/02/03/new-brochure-reveals-the-truth-about-planned-parenthood/
Roe s Multiplier Effect: Generations Dead From Abortion
This year s marking of the 40th anniversary Roe v. Wade included, naturally, much regret over the growing death toll caused by the scourge of abortion. The number is now over 55 million. That s 55 million abortions of children who never became Americans.
That number, however, doesn t begin to do justice to the total loss. 40 years of Roe v. Wade now equates to the loss of multiple generations of Americans, thus producing an even worse multiplier effect, one that must be considered in counting up the casualties. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/02/03/roes-multiplier-effect-generations-dead-from-abortion/
Conservatives Will Not be Quiet When it Comes to Abortion
After Mitt Romney and the Republican party lost the presidential election last November, numerous voices from the right side of the aisle have come forward to urge the party to take a more moderate stance on important issues in the months leading up to 2014 and 2016.
From immigration to abortion, it is being advocated that conservatives should stay quiet and fall in line so the party can win more votes. But if there is a lesson to be learned from 2012, it is that Republicans need their conservative base. And we will not be silent. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/02/03/conservatives-will-not-be-quiet-when-it-comes-to-abortion/
New Invention Could Help Reduce Sudden Infant Death Syndrome
Sudden infant death syndrome, also known as crib death, is responsible for the deaths of 7000 infants a year. Now a new invention has been made that might drastically reduce this number. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/02/03/new-invention-could-help-reduce-sudden-infant-death-syndrome/

Sex Ed Publisher ETR an Offshoot of Planned Parenthood Abortion Biz

It does so via the extensive networks it has built within communities, states, and on the national and international level. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/02/04/sex-ed-publisher-etr-an-offshoot-of-planned-parenthood-abortion-biz/
