House Committee Passes Bill Banning Abortions at 20 Weeks of Pregnancy
The
Obama Administration has dropped its legal battle against a judge’s
decision that would allow young girls to purchase the Plan B morning after
pill over the counter.
The decision allows anyone to purchase the drug and opponents of the decision say it paves the way for male sexual predators to purchase the drug for girls they victimize, by removing safeguards currently in place. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/

Undercover Call Shows Planned Parenthood Not Reporting Statutory
Rape
Project
Defending Life has released a video that features an undercover phone call
placed to Planned Parenthood of New Mexico in Albuquerque by a woman seeking
an abortion who indicated she was 14 and her boyfriend was 21. The caller
was told by a Planned Parenthood employee that they probably would not need
to report even though the relationship qualifies as statutory rape.
The caller asked if her age would be a problem. The Planned Parenthood receptionist responded, “In New Mexico, there’s no limit on when you can have sexual reproduction rights.” http://www.lifenews.com/2013/

Abortionist Who Killed Babies Born Alive Focus of Texas Special
Session
Governor
Rick Perry has called for a special session of the Texas legislature that
will, in part, deal with an abortion practitioner who, like Kermit Gosnell,
killed babies born alive. Perry yesterday expanded the special session call
to include legislation relating to the regulation of abortion procedures,
providers and facilities.
“The horrors of the national
late-term abortion industry are continuing to come to light, one atrocity
at a time. Sadly, some of those same atrocities happen in our own state.
In Texas, we value all life, and we’ve worked to cultivate a culture
that supports the birth of every child,” Gov. Perry said. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/Governor
