Obamacare’s
Pro-Abortion HHS Mandate Marks One Year Anniversary
The
pro-abortion mandate that is a part of Obamacare marks its one-year anniversary
today — forcing religious groups to pay for birth control and drugs
that may cause abortions. Enforcement of the mandate is expected to begin
in January.
The mandate went into effect last year on August 1 and the very minimal religious protections were set to go into effect today, but they will be implemented and enforcement will take place starting on January 1. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/

42nd Abortion Clinic Closed This Year Due to Filthy, Unsafe Conditions
The
North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services announced Wednesday
that it has suspended the license of Femcare, an abortion clinic in Asheville,
for two dozen serious health and safety violations discovered during a routine
inspection on July 18 and 19th.
This action comes just two days after Gov. Pat McCrory signed a law that will require abortion clinics to meet the standards of an outpatient surgery center. Ironically, it was thought that Femcare would be the only North Carolina abortion clinic to meet safety standards under the new law, but it seems it that thinking was grossly in error. Femcare was last inspected 6½ years ago. The closure is not directly related to the new law. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/

Texas
Officials Subpoena Tweets of Abortion Activists Wanting Perry Killed
During
the debate about the 20-week late-term abortion ban in Texas, members of
the pro-abortion mob made death threats on a number of officials.
Now, Texas law enforcement officials are looking into tweets that called for the killing of pro-life elected officials, such as Governor Rick Perry.http://www.lifenews.com/

Today, the Thomas More Society has submitted an updated second memorandum to
Congressman Aaron Schock (IL-18) of the House Committee on Ways and Means, detailing
additional evidence of continued IRS targeting of pro-life organizations.Despite claims by the Obama Administration that the harassment has ceased, the Society produced over 250 pages of documentation showing that the federal government is still interrogating pro-life groups beyond the scope of its legal authority, infringing upon these organizations’ First Amendment rights of assembly, free speech, and religious liberty. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/
De-Funding Obamacare Would be a Pro-Life Victory, But HHS Mandate
Would Remain
Senators
Ted Cruz, Mike Lee, and Marco Rubio are making waves as they lead the charge
to de-fund the Affordable Care Act (ACA) in Congress. The Senators propose
that Congress pass a continuing resolution to fund the entire government
except for the ACA.
Pro-life Americans including those at Americans United for Life commend their efforts because de-funding the ACA is an excellent step toward undermining this law, which is the greatest expansion of abortion since Roe v. Wade. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/

The Ten Dumbest Things Said in Defense of Abortion
The
past few years haven’t been great for abortion.
More and more people are calling
themselves pro-life, including more young Americans than ever before. Pro-life
laws are being passed in record numbers each year. While it would be foolish
to say that pro-lifers are winning the war on abortion, it wouldn’t
be wrong to say that we’re making progress — and that has the
pro-aborts panicking. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/The

Planned Parenthood Abortion Giant Closes Clinics in Texas Today
The
Planned Parenthood abortion corporation is closing clinics in Bryan and Lufkin,
Texas today — after Texas Governor Rick Perry signed into law a bill
that bans abortions after 20 weeks and holds abortion facilities accountable
for higher health and safety standards.
