Obama
Gives Presidential Medal of Freedom to Abortion Activist Gloria Steinem
President
Barack Obama has named sixteen recipients of the Presidential Medal of
Freedom, which is the nation’s highest civilian honor. Abortion activist
Gloria Steinem will be one of the recipients.
The Presidential Medal of Freedom is “presented to individuals who have made especially meritorious contributions to the security or national interests of the United States, to world peace, or to cultural or other significant public or private endeavors,” and Obama apparently believes dedicating one’s life to promoting abortion is a part of that list. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/

Oregon Health Care Board Denies Chemotherapy, Will Push Rationing
Under Obamacare
Oregon rations healthcare to Medicaid
recipients. Terminal cancer patients are denied chemotherapy to extend life–and
now the Oregon rationing board wants to go deeper into the weeds.
From Hope Landsem’s Wall Street Journal blog: Liberal states often preview health-care central planning before the same regulations go national, which ought to make an Oregon cost-control commission especially scary. On Thursday a state board could change Oregon’s Medicaid program to deny costly care to poor patients who need it most. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/

Abortion
Clinic Sends Coupons to Low-Income Women, Save $50 on Sundays
An abortion
center that’s open seven days a week in Florida is giving away coupons
to poor women in a crisis pregnancy so they can save money on their abortions!
An abortion
center that’s open seven days a week in Florida is giving away coupons
to poor women in a crisis pregnancy so they can save money on their abortions!
Florida Right to
Life investigated this “open on Sundays” abortion center and learned
that one of the doctors at this location is the notorious Dr. James Scott
Pendergraft.
The medical establishment is all on board for cost cutting in health care. That’s
a good goal, of course. But how that is done really matters ethically.Here’s the danger: Imposing a dual mandate upon doctors–cost cutting and patient care–could easily place physicians in a hopeless conflict of interest situation. Spend too much and the bureaucrats will throw brickbats. Save money at the expense of patient welfare and be sued for malpractice, while losing the trust of patients. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/
Yes Wendy Davis, Women Do Understand Late-Term Abortion; Do You?
On
Monday, Texas state Senator Wendy Davis made the now infamous statement
that the reason why a majority of women support limits on late-term abortion
is that they “don’t really understand the landscape of what’s
happening in that arena today.”
Sen. Davis, allow us to share a different interpretation of the poll results. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/

The Amazing Fetal Development of Unborn Babies at 20 Weeks
Reading
some of the hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of posts about “late”
abortions, it was not until recently that it struck me what a fundamental
oversight I’d been guilty of.
The flashpoint for pro-abortionists
is the law passed in ten states that says you can’t abort a child capable
of feeling pain—20 weeks, as established by a large body of scientific
study. Understandably, NRL News Today has written about the science establishing
that threshold (by the way, it could be earlier), the politics, the pro-abortion
spin, and the like.Reading

Abortion Activists Call Fetal Pain “Phony Science” Despite
Considerable Evidence
Probably
because I’d already read a preposterous rewriting of the history of abortion
in the United States, by the time I sat down this afternoon to peruse two
diatribes against the Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act, I was even
less in a mood to suffer fools gladly than usual.

My Unborn Baby Was a Human Being Before Birth and is a Human Being Now
It was a quiet Sunday evening and my husband and I were winding down for the night to go to bed. We had contemplated going out to see a movie at the theater but decided against it. In hindsight, I am relieved we made that decision. That’s because my water broke that night. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/
Time
Magazine Asks: Who Needs Kids Anyway? Extols the Child-Free Life
I miscarried my first child less than a month ago, so I see babies or lack of babies everywhere. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/
Planned Parenthood Colorado Claims No Taxpayer Funding, Got $10 Million
In announcing the closure of two Colorado centers yesterday, the Planned Parenthood of the Rocky Mountains abortion business claimed it does not receive taxpayer funds. That claim is false. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/

Kill Babies, They’re Not Just a Policy Issue

Loyola Marymount University Drops Abortion Coverage
