Prosecutor: Kermit Gosnell is a Live Birth Abortion KillerThe lead prosecutor in the Kermit Gosnell murder trial made it clear today what the trial is and is not about. He said the case has less to do with abortion than it does the fact that Kermit Gosnell is a killer who took the lives of newly-born babies.
Gosnell is charged with more than 30 criminal counts including the killing of seven newborn infants and a female patient in a botched abortion. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/03/18/prosecutor-kermit-gosnell-is-a-live-birth-abortion-killer/
Biden: I Must Attend Mass for Pope Francis or “I’ll Lose My Soul”Vice-President Joe Biden has put his foot in his mouth again, this time with regard to the controversy over his leading the American delegation to attend the installation of Pope Francis as the new Pope.
Never mind that Vice President Joe Biden has been rebuked by his own bishop over his pro-abortion views, President Barack Obama chose him to lead the delegation. That decision prompted an outcry from Catholics and pro-life non-Catholics alike because of Biden’s longstanding pro-abortion record. Some pro-life advocates have called for Biden to be prohibited from receiving communion at any ceremony for Pope Francis. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/03/18/biden-i-must-attend-mass-for-pope-francis-or-ill-lose-my-soul/
Obama Labor Depart Nominee Has Ties to Pro-Abortion George SorosPresident Barack Obama nominated another pro-abortion liberal to his Cabinet today in Tom Perez. Obama wants Perez to replace Hilda Solis as head of the Department of Labor on Monday.
“Today I’m proud to nominate … as America’s next secretary of labor, Tom Perez,” Obama said today in announcing the nomination. “Tom knows what it’s like to climb the American ladder of opportunity … his story reminds us of this country’s promise … it doesn’t matter what your last name is as long as you work hard.” http://www.lifenews.com/2013/03/18/obama-labor-depart-nominee-has-ties-to-pro-abortion-george-soros/
Pro-Life Champion Heads House Delegation to Inaugurate Pope FrancisSpeaker of the House John Boehner has chosen a pro-life champion to lead the bipartisan U.S. congressional delegation to attend the investiture of former Argentine Cardinal Jorge Mario Bergoglio as Pope Francis.
The news comes as newly-elected Pope Francis used his second-ever blessing as the head of the Catholic Church to bless a pregnant mother and her unborn child. Pope Francis, who as been hailed by pro-life advocates once called abortion a “death sentence” for unborn children, during a 2007 speech. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/03/18/pro-life-champion-heads-house-delegation-to-inaugurate-pope-francis/
