Hobby
Lobby Wins Injunction Stopping Enforcement of HHS Mandate
Today,
a federal court granted Hobby Lobby a preliminary injunction against the
HHS abortion-drug mandate. The injunction prevents the Obama administration
from enforcing the mandate against the Christian company, which does not
want to be compelled to pay for birth control or drugs that may cause
abortions.
This victory comes less than a month after a landmark decision by the full 10th Circuit Court of Appeals, which ruled 5-3 that Hobby Lobby can exercise religion under the First Amendment and is likely to win its case against the mandate. That decision helped the Christian craft store not be force to pay fines while its lawsuit continues. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/

Did Local Official Help Planned Parenthood Hide Botched Abortion
Killing Woman?
After
Tonya Reaves died from complications during a botched second-trimester abortion
suffered at a Chicago area Planned Parenthood abortion clinic on July 20,
2012 it took months for the medical examiner to release a report on her death.
Once a copy of Tonya Reaves’ autopsy report was made public, it showed the 24-year old woman died from the abortion she obtained at Planned Parenthood. The report indicated Reaves’ injuries were survivable if she had received proper emergency care in a timely manner. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/

Did Planned Parenthood Close Texas Abortion Centers to Hide Its
Medicaid Fraud?
Planned
Parenthood Gulf Coast took the occasion of Texas Governor Rick Perry’s
signing of a new omnibus pro-life law today to announce it was closing three
of its 12 clinics. The reason, per Huffington Post:
The three clinics are located
in Bryan, Huntsville and Lufkin, Texas. They are closing in response to
a new package of a new package of abortion restrictions signed into law
on Thursday and funding cuts to Texas’ Women’s Health Program
that were passed by the Texas state legislature in 2011. Out of the three
Planned Parenthood clinics that are closing, only the Bryan clinic performs
abortions. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/Planned

Wendy Davis and the Failed Reinvention of the Pro-Abortion Movement
I’m
a native Pennsylvanian who was working in the pro-life movement in that state
when the news first broke of the atrocities that had taken place at Kermit
Gosnell’s Women’s Medical Center abortion clinic in West Philadelphia.

The details of the
case sounded like something out of a horror movie. Yet it took the national
media almost two years to cover it. Thanks to the persistence of pro-life
advocates, the story finally made it into the living rooms of at least some
of the American people in April 2013. America was horrified and disgusted.

From
“Choice” to “Not in Her Shoes:” Planned Parenthood Sidesteps
Abortion
The use of “choice” in the abortion debate was never substantive. Everyone understands that some choices are morally unproblematic (choosing to exercise, to eat ice cream, to talk with friends) and other choices are not (choosing to rape, to steal, to abuse children). http://www.lifenews.com/2013/
