Creepier Video of Abortion Activists Chanting Hail Satan Emerges
Abortion activists opposing the 20-week abortion ban bill in Texas have drawn national attention for chanting “Hail Satan” while pro-life advocates sang Amazing Grace.

The chanting was too much even for a “Church of Satan” group on Twitter that denounced it’s use in association with the promotion of abortion.

Major Newspapers Reject Pro-Life Ad, Image of Baby “Too Controversial”
A national pro-life organization is outraged after three major American newspapers rejected a pro-life ad as “too controversial.”

The Chicago Tribune, USA Today, and the LA Times refused to run an advertisement created by Heroic Media. The ad features a hand holding a 20- to 24-week-old baby with the quote, “This child has no voice, which is why it depends on yours. Speak Up.” http://www.lifenews.com/2013/07/05/major-newspapers-reject-pro-life-ad-image-of-baby-too-controversial/
Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker Signs Bill for Ultrasound Before Abortion
Today, Governor Scott Walker signed Senate Bill 206 (Sonya’s Law) into law. This important new law requires that women seeking abortions in Wisconsin be given the opportunity to see their unborn children through ultrasound.
Just hours before Walker signed the law, the Planned Parenthood abortion business announced it would file a lawsuit seeking to stop women from seeing these ultrasounds.
Wisconsin Planned Parenthood Will Sue to Stop Women From Seeing Ultrasound
The Planned Parenthood abortion business in Wisconsin is so concerned about a new law that will allow women to see an ultrasound of their unborn child before an abortion that it says it will file a lawsuit to stop it.

The state legislature approved the measure, Senate Bill 206 (Sonya’s Law), which is legislation that provides a baby with the opportunity for his mother to see him through ultrasound before his mother makes a choice about how to proceed with her pregnancy. The woman can choose the type of ultrasound after all options are explained to her. The ultrasound helps to determine the age of the baby. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/07/05/wisconsin-planned-parenthood-will-sue-to-stop-women-from-seeing-ultrasound/

Catholic Pro-Life Hero Pope John Paul II Set for Sainthood
Pope Francis on Friday paved the way for the recognition of sainthood for Pope John Paul II. From news reports on the decision:

Francis decided that John XXIII could be declared a saint even though the Vatican hasn’t confirmed a second miracle attributed to his intercession. The Vatican said Francis had the power to dispense with such requirements and proceed with only one confirmed miracle to his name. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/07/05/catholic-pro-life-hero-pope-john-paul-ii-set-for-sainthood/
30 States Have No Opt-Out Laws Stopping Abortion Funding Under Obamacare
Every Fourth of July, we commemorate the day that our country declared independence and began her quest to become a unique nation—one where personal freedoms are honored and government intrusion is limited. We have had victories in this pursuit, but we have also had setbacks, perhaps none as great recently as the 2010 enactment of the Affordable Care Act (ACA).
We are only beginning to see the impositions that this law will place on the rights and consciences of Americans; however, as we draw near to deadline for the implementation of the health insurance exchanges in every state, an update is warranted. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/07/05/30-states-have-no-opt-out-laws-stopping-abortion-funding-under-obamacare/
Abortionist: Abortion is the “Most Important Right a Woman Can Have”
The Texas legislature is considering a bill that would ban abortions after 20 weeks of pregnancy and hold abortion clinics accountable for violating women’s health. The bill would put part of late-term abortion practitioner Dana Kusnir’s abortion shop out of business.
To help lobby against the bill, she is talking about abortion and her abortion facility publicly for the first time. In the interview, Kusnir says there is no right more important than abortion and she says taking the lives of unborn children is why she became a doctor. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/07/05/abortionist-abortion-is-the-most-important-right-a-woman-can-have/
Beauty Pageant Celebrates Lives of Kids With Down Syndrome, Spina Bifida
The stage is set and the spotlight shines down on a group of young, smiling faces. Their beautiful hair, clothing and make-up pale in comparison to a far more important inner beauty that’s shining through. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/07/05/beauty-pageant-celebrates-lives-of-kids-with-down-syndrome-spina-bifida/

Final Vote on Ireland Bill Legalizing Abortions Coming Next Week

Obama Makes You Contribute Financially to China’s One-Child Policy
Two weeks ago, the US State Department ranked China as one of the worst countries in the world for sex-trafficking, giving the one-child policy as the root cause. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/07/05/obama-makes-you-contribute-financially-to-chinas-one-child-policy/

Possible HIV “Cure” is a Victory for Adult Stem Cell Research
The news of two men supposedly being cured from HIV (only the 3rd and 4th people ever to be cured) is cause for celebration for those promoting ethical adult stem cells, and provides motivation to increase adult stem cell research. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/07/05/possible-hiv-cure-is-a-victory-for-adult-stem-cell-research/
