Conservative Leaders Demand Networks Stop Censoring Gosnell TrialHe brutally killed unborn babies by jamming medical scissors in the back of their necks, but the major network television stations have engaged in a blackout of coverage of his murder trial.
To response, 20 prominent leaders of the conservative movement have joined Media Research Center President Brent Bozell in demanding the broadcast networks stop censoring coverage. They are also upset at the lack of coverage of the Florida Alliance of Planned Parenthood Affiliates lobbyist who testified in favor of allowing the killing of children who survive botched abortions. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/04/04/conservative-leaders-demand-networks-stop-censoring-gosnell-trial/
Paramedic: Kermit Gosnell Abandoned Women He Killed in AbortionnA paramedic with the Philadelphia Fire Department gave testimony today about his experience at Kermit Gosnell’s abortion clinic when he responded to a “Code Blue” call for help in November, 2009.
A young paramedic named Smith told the court he was the first paramedic to arrive on the scene. He was taken through the maze of rooms and hallways to an abortion room where he found Karnamaya Mongar laying on an abortion table naked from the waist down with her legs still in the stirrups in full cardiac arrest. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/04/04/paramedic-kermit-gosnell-abandoned-women-he-killed-in-abortion/
Congresswoman: Defund Planned Parenthood Over Its Infanticide OKA leading pro-life member of Congress says Planned Parenthood’s latest endorsement of post-birth abortions, or infanticide, should be reason enough for Congress to yank its taxpayer funding.
Rep. Marsha Blackburn, a Tennessee Republican, has sent a letter to Planned Parenthood in response to their advocacy in support of post-birth abortion before the Florida state legislature. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/04/04/congresswoman-defund-planned-parenthood-over-its-infanticide-ok/
Radio Show’s Callers Side With Planned Parenthood for InfanticideAt a committee hearing in the Florida legislature on a proposed “Born Alive Bill,” Planned Parenthood’s Alisa Lepolt Snow stunningly asserted that the fate of a child who survives a botched abortion should be left to the discretion of the mother and her doctor. In other words, if the mother so chooses, the baby may be denied medical treatment and left to die.
I discussed this outrageous position on my radio show this week. Two callers to my program sided with Planned Parenthood. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/04/04/radio-shows-callers-side-with-planned-parenthood-for-infanticide/

Obama Admin Gives College $423,000 to Study Proper Use of CondomsThe Obama administration is getting criticism today over a grant totaling almost half a million dollars to study the proper use of condoms.
As reported in the Weekly Standard: “Sexually transmitted infections (STI), including human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), pose significant health risks,” a synopsis of study reads.

Judge: Catholic Company Doesn’t Have to Follow Obama HHS MandateA federal judge in Minnesota has given a Catholic-owned and operated business a reprieve from the onerous provisions of the Obamacare HHS mandate. The mandate compels companies to pay for birth control and drugs for their employees that may cause abortions.
U.S. District Court Judge John R. Tunheim issued a ruling yesterday for an injunction against complying with the mandate for American Manufacturing Company. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/04/04/judge-catholic-company-doesnt-have-to-follow-obama-hhs-mandate/

As LifeNews reported, Assemblywoman Lucy Flores, a Democrat from Las Vegas, makes the false assumption that being a teen mother is incompatible with completing ones education or a successful career and gives that as the reason why she had an abortion and has no regrets about it. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/04/04/democrat-who-doesnt-regret-abortion-faces-death-threats/
Catholic Ave Maria University Loses Bid to Stop HHS MandateA federal court has dismissed the lawsuit the Catholic college filed against the mandate, which compels companies to pay for birth control and drugs that may cause abortions for their employees. Catholic Ave      Maria University says it will keep fighting the HHS mandate found in Obamacare.http://www.lifenews.com/2013/04/04/catholic-ave-maria-university-loses-bid-to-stop-hhs-mandate/

Outlawing Abortion Will Help Children with Down SyndromeOn the New York Times parenting blogs, a mother of a girl with Down Syndrome argues against North Dakota’s new law that outlaws abortion in cases of genetic abnormality. Alison Piepmeier says that “Outlawing Abortion Won’t Help Children with Down Syndrome.”http://www.lifenews.com/2013/04/04/outlawing-abortion-will-help-children-with-down-syndrome/
Did You Know? 90% of Babies With Down Syndrome are AbortedThe appalling rate of babies with Down syndrome who are aborted is no secret. When parents receive a prenatal diagnosis, 9 times out of 10, they will choose to abort that child, simply because the baby has an extra chromosome. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/04/04/did-you-know-90-of-babies-with-down-syndrome-are-aborted/

NARAL President Lies About Illegal Abortions in MSNBC InterviewSpeaking of pro-abortion media bias, Mediaite’s Noah Rothman has caught MSNBC in an especially egregious display of journalistic malpractice.
