Pope
Pledges to Baptize Mother’s Baby After She Rejects Abortion
A
mother who decided to reject her boyfriend’s request for her to get
an abortion received a surprise call from Pope Francis — who told
her he would be glad to baptize her baby.
Anna Romano became pregnant after having a relationship with a married man, who told her he would not help her raise the baby and pressured her to have an abortion. Not wanting to compound one mistake with another, Romano refused and will give birth. In a desperate plea for help, she wrote to Pope Francis for advice. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/

Congresswoman’s Miracle Baby Still Doing Well After Doctors
Said She’d Die

Letter:
Will Obama Admin Break the Law to Fund Abortions for Congress?

Members
of Congress are concerned the Obama administration ill break current federal
law to pay for abortions for members of Congress and Congressional staff
via Obamacare.
Some 86 members
of Congress signed on to a letter to the director of the Office of Personnel
Management expressing concerns that it will not comply with the Smith Amendment
regarding Federal employee health plans that provide benefits or coverage
for abortion. Under the amendment, which is existing law, federal funds
may not be used to pay for abortions via federally-funded health insurance
for congressional staff and Members. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/
In a CNN debate on September 4- the eve of today’s vote on Syria authorization
– Democratic Congresswoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz of Florida argued with
Republican Congressman Michael Burgess about the need for American intervention
in the Syrian civil war.U.S. intervention is being considered because Syrian president, Bashar al-Assad is being suspected of having used chemical weapons on his own people. These people were civilians, and among them were hundreds of young children. The civil war has also created two million refugees, half of whom are children, according to the United Nations, who are calling these million children a “lost generation.” http://www.lifenews.com/2013/

As Dozens of Abortion Clinics Close, Pro-Life Movement is Winning
No
one likes to see a business close its doors — unless that business
is an abortion clinic! In states across America, pro-lifers have been all
too happy to shutter facilities bent on misleading women and taking innocent
lives. And that’s no small number, according to a new report from Bloomberg.
Since 2011, 58 of America’s abortion clinics — almost one in 10
— have either pulled the plug on their abortion services or folded
altogether.
In most cases, clinics are closing
offices faster than they can open new ones. And that’s just fine with
the majority of Americans, who elected a record number of pro-lifers to
state and local seats over the past two years. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/No

Obamacare
