Texas Planned Parenthood Abortion Biz Must Repay $1.4 Million After Medicaid Fraud
The Planned Parenthood abortion business must repay $1.4 million dollars in Texas after it was found to have participated in a massive Medicaid fraud scheme.

Last year, a former employee of Planned Parenthood Gulf Coast has filed a whistleblower’s complaint with the Attorney General of Texas and the U.S. Department of Justice. The PPGC employee alleges that the abortion business engaged in an elaborate Medicaid fraud scheme. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/07/24/texas-planned-parenthood-abortion-biz-must-repay-1-4-million-after-medicaid-fraud/
Enough is Enough: Pro-Life Group Starts March on the Media Over Abortion Bias
Lila Rose of Live Action has had enough and her pro-life group has started a new campaign, March on the Media, to combat the epidemic of pro-abortion bias when it comes to reporting on abortion issues.

The campaign comes after a new report showed the big television networks gave Texas abortion advocate three times more coverage than they gave to the trial of abortion practitioner Kermit Gosnell, who killed babies born alive after abortions. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/07/24/enough-is-enough-pro-life-group-starts-march-on-the-media-over-abortion-bias/
Welcome to the World George Alexander Louis, the Royal Baby
George Alexander Louis. The new baby to Prince William and Kate Middleton has been named. The two-day old child is third-in-line to the throne and will officially be named His Royal Highness Prince George of Cambridge.
An AP report provides more information on the Royal Family and how things have gone after George’s birth: Palace officials say Prince William and his wife Kate are spending “private and quiet time for them to get to know their son” — and, perhaps, to figure out ways to shield him from intense public and media interest. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/07/24/welcome-to-the-world-george-alexander-louis-the-royal-baby/
Teen Girl Defends Sign Saying “Jesus Isn’t a D—, Keep Him Out of My Vagina”
During the pro-abortion protests leading up to the Texas vote on the late-term abortion ban, the Internet was shocked to see a young girl hold a sign saying “Jesus Isn’t a D—, Keep Him Out of May Vagina.”

Earlier this month, a man on Twitter accepted responsibility for the sign, saying his young daughter made it and had her friend hold it. Billy Joe Cain is an Austin resident who is a video game producer and has no problem with young girls holding vulgar signs referring to sexual parts. In fact, he said he is “proud” of her. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/07/24/teen-girl-defends-sign-saying-jesus-isnt-a-d-keep-him-out-of-my-vagina/


New Documents Show NBA Player J. J. Redick Pressured Girlfriend to Have Abortion
Yesterday, MediaTakeOut.com released an abortion contract dating back to 2007 between NBA player J. J. Redick and then-girlfriend Vanessa Lopez.

I’ve had this and other documents related to that abortion for the better part of two weeks but out of concern for Vanessa wanted to make contact with her before going public.

House GOP Backs Bill Restoring Pro-Life Mexico City Policy on Abortion
Republicans on a House committee approved a bill today that would restore the Mexico City Policy. That is the policy enacted by President Ronald Reagan and Republicans presidents since him that prohibits taxpayer funding of the Planned Parenthood abortion business in international family planning programs.
The policy specifically prohibits funding groups that promote or perform abortions overseas. Organizations that promise not to be involved in abortion can receive funding under the policy, which Democratic presidents Bill Clinton and Barack Obama have overturned by executive order. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/07/24/house-gop-backs-bill-restoring-pro-life-mexico-city-policy-on-abortion/
President George H.W. Bush Shaves His Head to Support Boy With Leukemia

Time for the Bishops to Quit Funding Pro-Abortion Catholic Relief Service

Washington Planned Parenthood Fights to Hide Abortion Info From Health Department
It seems that the only thing Planned Parenthood wants you to know about these days is how to confidently have lots of sex with lots of people and how to deal with the pregnancies and diseases that result from having lots of sex with lots of people.
