Liberty
University Beats Obama HHS-Abortion Mandate in Appeals Court
The
Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals in Richmond, Virginia, issued an order
to stay the mandate until the U.S. Supreme Court rules on a petition for
cert to be filed with the High Court by Liberty Counsel, on behalf of
Liberty University and two private individuals.
The mandate went into effect last year on August 1 and the very minimal religious protections were set to go into effect August 1, but they will be implemented and enforcement will take place starting on January 1. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/

Christie, Rubio Lead Poll of Republican Voters for 2016 Nominee
A new Rasmussen Reports poll has
Republican voters nationally favoring pro-life New Jersey Governor Chris Christie
and pro-life Florida Sen. Marco Rubio for the GOP nomination in 2016.
The 2016 presidential election is vitally important for pro-life advocates as it is an opportunity to return a pro-life president to the White House who could appointment members of the Supreme Court who could overturn Roe v. Wade, who could put pro-life policies back in place and sign pro-life laws to stop abortions. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/

Dear
Wendy Davis: Here’s the Info on Kermit Gosnell You Don’t Know
Dear
Wendy Davis,
Dear
Wendy Davis,
I was pretty taken
aback by your comments today in your interview with the Weekly Standard.
Disturbing enough was the reiteration of Nancy Pelosi’s argument that
“abortion is “sacred ground,” but I was completely floored
that you claimed to know nothing about the horrific Gosnell case. Are you
being willfully ignorant of this travesty, or are you so blinded by the
abortion money being thrown into your possible governor’s race that
you are willing to risk women’s lives instead of researching what is
going on in abortion clinics across America? http://www.lifenews.com/2013/
As a firefighter and medic, I’ve pretty much seen it all. Seeing these
emergencies and catastrophes in the field bring emotions also. But the biggest
emotional roller coaster of my life came when I heard that I was conceived during
a despicable act.I never thought I would hear the words “conceived in rape” when I reconnected with my birthmother a few years ago. Sitting in her living room and holding my husband’s hand, we heard the horrible details of a dark night back in 1972. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/
Ex-Abortion Workers Remember Piecing Together Bodies to Aborted
Babies
Earlier
this summer, And Then There Were None, the ministry Abby Johnson began to
reach out to abortion clinic workers, held a retreat for former workers
who have escaped the clutches of the abortion industry.
ATTWN provides a number of resources for former workers, and clearly one of the services these workers need the most is help to repair the spiritual and emotional damage and consequences from having to assist with abortions. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/

Former Abortion Clinic Patient: “I Didn’t Want to Go
Back In There”
Life
Dynamics has released a new video that, in part, features an interview with
a former abortion patient of Douglas Karpen, considered the second Kermit

In May 2013, the national
pro-life organization interviewed a former patient and three former abortion

Karpen. In this clip, the abortion patient tells of her horrors having an
abortion at the clinic. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/
During
the August Recess, Tell Members of Congress to Fight Obamacare

Liberal
Professor Admits Most Americans Pro-Life, Oppose Abortion
I glanced at the headline, filed it away to come back the next day (July 31), and then promptly forgot about “New abortion poll oversimplifies complex issue, UCSF professor says.” I read the story this afternoon and was, frankly, shocked by the candor of the responses from Tracy Weitz, a sociologist and an associate professor of obstetrics, gynecology and reproductive sciences at the University of California, San Francisco. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/

Can’t Wait to Fund Abortions in D.C. With Your Tax Money
Earlier this week, online magazine The Nation published a story blissfully anticipating (on the basis of some highly questionable premises) a time when the District of Columbia would be allowed to fund abortions for low-income women. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/

Kansas Abortion Clinic Owner’s PAC in Trouble With FEC
One day after Operation Rescue filed a complaint with the Federal Election Commission over $37,000 in missing Trust Women PAC funds and supplied evidence it is improperly funding a for-profit abortion business in Wichita, Kansas, the FEC issued two more deficiency letters to the PAC, both corroborating some allegations made in Operation Rescue’s complaint. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/
