Obamacare’s
Pro-Abortion HHS Mandate Will be Headed to the Supreme Court
It’s
only a matter of time until the Supreme Court holds hearings on a lawsuit
related to the Obamacare HHS mandate that compels religious groups and
businesses to pay for birth control and abortion-causing drugs.
The mandate has been the subject of dozens of lawsuits and appeals and lower federal courts have already weighed in in many of the cases — with most of the plaintiffs winning their bids to halt the enforcement of the mandate against them. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/

Botched RU 486 Abortions Injure 42 Women in Ohio as Planned Parenthood
Defies FDA
Today, Ohio Right to Life urged
Attorney General Mike DeWine to expedite the litigation against Planned Parenthood
and its practice of off-label prescribing the abortion pill RU-486 (mifepristone)
in Ohio. This request comes in light of 42 reports of failed uses of the drug
in the state.
The Food and Drug Administration recommends that RU-486 (commonly referred to as a chemical abortion) be administered in two doses orally and in the presence of a physician. The FDA approved RU-486 only through 49 days of pregnancy. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/

and his mother’s illegal abortion of his sibling.
Actor
Mark Ruffalo has caused quite a stir with his defense of legalized abortion
and his mother’s illegal abortion of his sibling.
That Ruffalo defended
abortion was bad enough, but that he took up for his mother’s abortion
of his sibling was beyond the pale for many pro-lifers. As LifeNews reported,
Kristan Hawkins of Students for Life of America responded to Ruffalo and
was shocked he seemingly cared so little that his brother or sister was
a victim of abortion. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/
In her early twenties and just out of college Jill Marquis thought marriage
seemed like the thing to do. But after a couple of years, she found herself
feeling dejected. After beginning an affair, she soon discovered she was pregnant.Jill Marquis leads a group of post-abortive women.“I wanted to get a divorce,” she says, “And in my twisted way of thinking, I could not be pregnant and get divorced. I was operating on fear and panic. […] I thought, I can’t go on with my life. I didn’t tell anybody. I didn’t tell my mother. I didn’t tell my sisters who I’m very close to. I knew I needed to live life my way.” http://www.lifenews.com/2013/
Man Comes Back to Life After Doctors Prematurely Declare Him Dead
He
wasn’t dead yet. An Ohio man came back to life less than an hour after
doctors gave up attempting to revive him and just moments after his son,
who was at the hospital, shouted that he wouldn’t die.
From ABC News: When 17-year-old Lawrence Yahle learned his father was dead earlier this month at Kettering Medical Center in Ohio, he ran down the hall to see nurses around his father’s body. They weren’t trying to revive him anymore. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/

Video: 15 and Pregnant: Why I Chose Adoption Instead of Abortion
The
National Council for Adoption has released a new video series to promote

If you’re pregnant and unsure about your future, check out these real
stories from birthmothers, adopted individuals, and adoptive parents,”
the group says. “Sometimes choosing adoption is about being a good
mother. Watch how one mother’s choice changed her child’s life
for the better.” http://www.lifenews.com/2013/The

If Mark Ruffalo Loves Abortion So Much, Why Doesn’t He Marry It
The other night I couldn’t sleep. I’m always a bit of an insomniac, but that night it was really bad. There was one thing going through my mind over and over, on a loop, a question I didn’t know the answer to, and it was driving me crazy. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/

RU
486 Abortions: When “Between a Woman and Her Doctor” Turns Out
to be False
Specifically, the law is a Chemical abortion is the “cash cow” of the abortion industry. Contrary to pro-abortion claims that abortion should be between a woman and her physician, the reality is that there is little to no “physician-patient relationship” in the chemical abortion context. Women are given drugs and sent home to self-abort without any medical supervision. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/
