Priests Demand Pelosi Renounce Catholicism After Abortion is “Sacred
Ground” Comment
House
Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi’s comments that defending late-term
abortions is “sacred ground” to her was apparently the last
straw for a national organization of Catholic priests active in pro-life
work.
“As a practicing and respectful Catholic, this is sacred ground to me when we talk about this. I don’t think it should have anything to do with politics,” she continued saying about the bill to ban late-term abortions after 20 weeks. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/

Obamacare’s Death Panels Will be Implemented in Two Years
Unless We Act Now
The
Independent Payment Advisory Board is set to go into action later this year.
The IPAB is a Medicare cost-cutting board of “experts” legally possessing
the power to impose its advise, even over the desires of Congress or the president.
It has been derisively referred to as a death panel because so many have called for it to have health care rationing powers and because its decisions could result in cost-cutting measures that deny lifesaving medical treatment. The Independent Payment Advisory Board was one of the most controversial parts of the Obamacare legislation — mainly because it puts 15 unelected strangers in charge of health decisions for most Americans. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/

“This Baby is Not Going to Survive,” Mom Rejects Pressure
for Abortion
A mother
in New Zealand has rejected calls from her doctor and medical professionals
to have an abortion of her disabled baby.
A mother
in New Zealand has rejected calls from her doctor and medical professionals
to have an abortion of her disabled baby.
At 16 weeks of pregnancy,
the young woman was told by doctors that her unborn baby would only live
for a short time after she was born.
From the stage at the recent Women Deliver conference, former US Secretary of
State Hillary Clinton’s daughter Chelsea revealed that her much-admired
maternal grandmother was the child of unwed teenage parents who “did not
have access to services that are so crucial that Planned Parenthood helps provide.”Chelsea’s grandmother was born of an unintended pregnancy. And new research shows that her family is not alone in treasuring a person who – if Planned Parenthood had been successful – would not have been born. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/
Deaf Boy Shocked After Brain Implant Helps Him Hear Dad For the
First Time
Children’s
physical disabilities are all too often a reason for parents to decide to
have an abortion, but sometimes parents choose life and then the miracle
of modern technology takes over.
That is the case for a three-year-old boy who is now hearing the world — and his father — for the first time thanks to an auditory brain stem implant. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/

High School Bars Student With Down Syndrome From Cheerleading Squad
“The
only disability in life is a bad attitude.”
This inspirational statement
has been taken to heart by many in disabled communities for its uplifting
and liberating spirit. Unfortunately, Marion County’s Elgin High School
is not taking it to heart.“The
only disability in life is a bad attitude.”
Nancy Pelosi Shuts Down Reporter’s Question on Abortion
After
her Thursday afternoon press conference, pro-abortion Democratic Leader Nancy
Pelosi shut down a reporter’s question on abortion.
After
her Thursday afternoon press conference, pro-abortion Democratic Leader Nancy
Pelosi shut down a reporter’s question on abortion.
Pelosi, who is under
fire for her comment saying defending late-term abortions is “sacred
ground” for her, could have been asked about that or about the late-term
abortion ban the House approved Tuesday without her support or that of virtually
all of the Democratic caucus. The ban would prevent abortions after 20 weeks
and up to the day of birth. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/
New
York Assembly Approves Andrew Cuomo’s Radical Abortion Bill
This afternoon, the New York State Assembly passed the pro-abortion Women’s Equality Act by a margin of 97 to 47. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/

New York Times, Mainstream Media Botch Coverage of Late-Term Abortion Ban
The mainstream media once again botched its coverage of abortion — this time the ban on late-term abortions. While most Americans support banning abortions from 20 weeks up to birth, media outlets make it appear as if Republicans and pro-lifers are the extremists rather than Democrats. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/

Appeals
Court Allows Texas to De-Fund Planned Parenthood Abortion Biz

Huffington
Post: Religion to Blame for “Overpopulation,” Environmental Ruin
A Muslim, a Catholic, a Protestant and a Jew walk into a bar … this could be the set-up for a good joke, but you better not tell it at the Huffington Post.
