Texas Governor Rick Perry Signs Bill Banning Late-Term Abortions
Governor Rick Perry of Texas today signed the ban on late-term abortions into law at a bill signing ceremony. The signing came after weeks of debate in the state legislature and passage of the bill despite an unruly pro-abortion mob.

“Today’s signing builds on our continued commitment to protecting life for more than a decade. This is an important day for those who support life and the health of women in Texas,” Perry said. “Signing HB2 further solidifies the foundation on which the culture of in Texas is built.” http://www.lifenews.com/2013/07/18/texas-governor-rick-perry-signs-bill-banning-late-term-abortions/
Nancy Pelosi: Pro-Life Republicans “Need a Lesson on the Birds and Bees”
House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi is at it again — with another crass comment on the abortion issue. This time, she goes after pro-life Republicans saying they need a lesson in Sex Education 101.

She attacked pro-life legislators in state legislatures across the nation who are passing new pro-life laws to limit abortions in places like Texas and North Carolina, saying they needed a lesson on “the birds and the bees.” http://www.lifenews.com/2013/07/18/nancy-pelosi-pro-life-republicans-need-a-lesson-on-the-birds-and-bees/
Planned Parenthood Abortion Biz Closing Three Clinics After Perry Signs Ban
No sooner did Texas Governor Rick Perry sign into law a bill that bans abortions after 20 weeks and holds abortion facilities accountable for higher health and safety standards than the Planned Parenthood abortion business announce it was closing clinics.
The abortion giant informed employees at three locations in Texas that they would be closing. Those locations include Bryan, Huntsville and Lufkin, Texas — all run by the Houston affiliate of the abortion business. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/07/18/planned-parenthood-abortion-biz-closing-three-clinics-after-perry-signs-ban/
Planned Parenthood Closes Down Abortion Clinic Abby Johnson Managed
The Planned Parenthood abortion business announced today that it is closing three of its facilities following Gov. Rick Perry’s signature on a bill to ban late-term abortions and hold abortion clinics accountable to higher safety standards.

Apparently the abortion clinic Abby Johnson once managed can’t meet those standards expected of legitimate medical centers, and it is closing. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/07/18/planned-parenthood-closes-down-abortion-clinic-abby-johnson-managed/


Abortion Activists Make VooDoo Dolls of Texas Governor Rick Perry
If you think you’ve seen all the crazy antics the pro-abortion side in Texas has to offer as it opposes a pro-life bill to ban late-term abortions, “you ain’t seen nothin’ yet!”

They’ve found a new way to protest the bill by making voodoo dolls and sending the proceeds from the sale of the dolls to Planned Parenthood, the nation’s biggest abortion business. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/07/17/hobby-lobby-heads-back-to-court-friday-to-battle-the-obama-hhs-mandate/
New Poll: Plurality of Americans Want Abortions Banned After 20 Weeks
Another new national survey shows that more Americans than not favor banning late-term abortions after 20 weeks of pregnancy, as Texas did today with Governor Rick Perry signing its late-term abortion ban into law.
Although most polls have shown a strong majority of Americans favor banning late-term abortions new Rasmussen poll showed a plurality favor it on a 44-41 percentage point margin. The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey shows that 44% of Likely U.S. Voters favor a ban on abortion after 20 weeks. Forty-one percent (41%) oppose such a ban. Another 15% are undecided. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/07/18/new-poll-plurality-of-americans-want-abortions-banned-after-20-weeks/
Planned Parenthood Abortion Biz Prez Cecile Richards Urged Texans to Break Law
Dr. Joe Pojman, head of Texas Alliance for Life, says Texas law is very clear regarding behavior in the senate gallery: “We cannot yell, we cannot carry signs, we cannot speak loudly, we cannot even clap. That is the decorum that must be observed. And doing anything other is a violation of state law.” In addition, he said, for Planned Parenthood head Cecile Richards to encourage making noise to drown out the vote, “was advocating 400 plus people to break state law. And that’s just plain wrong.” http://www.lifenews.com/2013/07/18/planned-parenthood-abortion-biz-prez-cecile-richards-urged-texans-to-break-law/

#Justice4Tonya: Hold Planned Parenthood Accountable for Killing Black Woman in Abortion
She wasn’t wearing a hoodie, but was killed in the ‘hood…Planned Parenthood. A young black woman was left to bleed to death for 5.5 hours. 911 was never called. Her unborn child, mutilated.

It was a beautifully clear picture-postcard summer day in Chicago when Tonya Reaves left her one-year old son for an appointment at a Planned Parenthood abortion clinic, but that sunny Friday morning of July 20, 2012, would be the 24-year old woman’s last day on Earth. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/07/18/planned-parenthood-killed-tonya-reaves-in-an-abortion-one-year-ago-no-justice-yet/
Activists, Ms. Magazine Pressuring Raped 11-Year-Old to Have Abortion
