Governor
Rick Perry to Sign Texas’ Late-Term Abortion Ban Thursday
Governor
Rick Perry of Texas will sign the ban on late-term abortions tomorrow
morning in a bill signing ceremony, after weeks of debate in the state
legislature and passage of the bill despite an unruly pro-abortion mob.
After a day filled with pro-abortion threats, pro-life people hiding in secure areas of the capitol fearing for their safety and protestors disrupting the Senate proceedings, democracy finally prevailed. Members of the state Senate approved the bill to ban late-term abortions on a 19-11 margin on second reading. The chamber then approved the bill in third reading by the same 19-11 vote. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/

Sebelius: Obamacare Opponents No Different Than Opponents of Civil
Rights
Health
and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius yesterday compared people
who oppose the Obamacare health care law to segregationists who opposed
civil rights legislation in the 1960s.
Health
and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius yesterday compared people
who oppose the Obamacare health care law to segregationists who opposed
civil rights legislation in the 1960s.
While pro-life advocates
oppose Obamacare because of its abortion funding provisions, the HHS mandate
that thwarts religious conscience and for other reasons, Sebeluis appears
to think they are no different than people who stood in the way of laws
protecting black Americans. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/

Hobby Lobby Heads Back to Court Friday to Battle the Obama HHS
Mandate
Christian-run
business Hobby Lobby heads back to court on Friday to defend itself against
the pro-abortion HHS mandate. The next skirmish comes after an appeals court
ruled the company does not have to pay fines under the HHS mandate while
its legal challenges continue.
“This Friday, our General Counsel, Kyle Duncan, will go before a federal judge to ask for a preliminary injunction against the HHS Mandate for Hobby Lobby,” Kristina Arriaga Executive Director of the pro-life legal group The Becket Fund, emailed LifeNews. “The 10th Circuit decision is a key victory in the fight against the HHS Mandate.” http://www.lifenews.com/2013/

Racial Injustice: Abortion Kills Thousands of Trayvon Martins Every
Year
In
Ohio, we lose thousands of Trayvon Martins each year. Regardless of what
opinion you may have on the verdict in the George Zimmerman trial, the fact
remains that a young African-American male was killed in Florida last year.
And any unnatural loss of life is always a tragedy.
As the community reflects on
that tragedy, we all have the opportunity to confront the egregious tragedy
that disproportionately affects the African-American community daily: abortion.

Scientists
Shut Down Chromosome Responsible for Down Syndrome
Scientists say they have been able to turn off the chromosome responsible for Down Syndrome. This stunning achievement raises the prospect that someday a therapy could be developed to prevent or reverse the disorder. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/

Senate to Back Obama Nominee Thomas Perez, Soros Backer Who Targeted Pro-Lifers
The U.S. Senate today voted for cloture to end debate on Thomas Perez, President Barack Obama’s nominee to lead the Department of Labor. Perez, who is connected to liberal billionaire George Soros, upset pro-lifers by targeting them from his Justice Department perch. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/
Former
Happy Days Star Suzi Quatro Haunted by Abortion She Had as a Teenager
Studies show most women come to regret the abortion they have and former Happy Days star Suzi Quatro appears to be no exception. Despite growing up in a Catholic family, she had an abortion but now wishes she could undo that decision. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/
Men Behaving Badly: BroChoicers Want Abortions Legal to Sexually Prey on Women
Maybe I don’t read enough of the material put out by advocates of abortion, but I was appalled by a recent article in the “Burnt Orange Report.” I suppose I should probably thank them for letting us see the real reason some men support legal abortion. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/

Off-Label
Abortion Pills Sold at Flea Markets in Texas
When many people think of abortion pills, they think of RU-486, the abortion drug developed in France in the 1980s and sold in the U.S. since 2000. But there is another drug, misoprostol, a prostaglandin normally used in conjunction with RU-486, that is being increasingly promoted and used by itself as a standalone abortifacient. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/

Clinic Closes That Repeatedly Injured Women, Couldn’t Pay Rent

France
Lifts Its Ban on Embryonic Stem Cell Research
It is a common misconception in America that in the rest of the world, scientists are free to work with embryonic stem cells all they want, and that in the United States, we are “far behind” everyone else because of President George W. Bush’s funding restrictions. That simply is not true. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/
