Nancy
Pelosi Wants to Protect Kids in Syria, But Not Unborn Children From Abortion
As
President Barack Obama and members of Congress debate what action, if
any, to take in Syria, there is one class of children who aren’t
making their way into the national debate: unborn children.
As LifeNews blogger Lauren Enriquez profiled last week, Democratic Congresswoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz exemplified how abortion advocates are concerned about children after birth but not before. At the same time she argues for keeping abortion legal without limits here in the United States, she bemoaned the killing of hundreds of young children by chemical attacks in Syria. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/

NAACP President Quits, Turned Civil Rights Org Into Pro-Abortion
Group
NAACP President Benjamin Jealous
will be stepping down in a few months from his position as the head of the
nation’s oldest and largest civil rights group. During his tenure, Jealous
oversaw the NAACP’s transformation into an abortion advocacy organization.
The NAACP passed a 2004 resolution voicing support for “equal access to abortion” and urging its members to participate in a pro-abortion rally in Washington. Then, in 2007, the NAACP, for the second time in four years, blocked a proposed resolution expressing opposition to abortion. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/

Planned
Parenthood’s Adoption “Gag Rule:” Abortion Pushed Over Adoption
391 to 1
Concerned
about the prospect of taxpayer funded counselors steering women toward abortion,
the Reagan Administration issued what its critics called a “gag rule,”
prohibiting options counselors under Title X from referring women for abortions.
Planned Parenthood and others challenged the rule, claiming that it prevented
women from receiving full and unbiased information about all of their options.

Planned Parenthood and others challenged the rule, claiming that it prevented

Although the Supreme
Court upheld it in Rust v. Sullivan, the “gag rule” was one of
the first to be repealed when President Clinton took office. However, it
appears that a “gag rule” has reemerged – as Planned Parenthood
works to steer women toward the one option that is financially beneficial
to Planned Parenthood, abortion.http://www.lifenews.
Concern is growing that the Obama administration may break current federal law
to pay for abortions for members of Congress and Congressional staff via Obamacare.As LifeNews noted last week, 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/
 Finally... moral,
pro-life fiction that opens hearts and minds! “This is what I
was hoping would begin to spring from the Indie World. No way would NYC
Corporate Publishing ever allow something with this worldview through.”

Did You Know Abortion Clinics Are Closing Like Crazy?
At
least 58 U.S. abortion clinics — almost 1 in 10 — have shut down
or stopped providing the life-ending procedure since 2011.
The good news from Bloomberg.com: The reporting by Bloomberg, coupled with data from Guttmacher, which surveys provide every few years, show that clinics have closed at a record pace since 2011. During the past three years, an average of 19 closed each year. That’s more than double the rate in the decade ending in 2008. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/

Anonymous Customer Pays for Bill of Family With Special Needs Child
Earlier
this week, CNN reported that an anonymous customer at the Stag & Doe
restaurant in China Grove, North Carolina, paid the bill of a family who
was out to eat with their son, Riley England, who has special needs. The
England family also brought younger son, Logan, and a grandparent and great-grandparent
to dinner that night.
During dinner, the family experienced
the challenging but typical behavior that Riley, who is non-verbal and suffers
from epilepsy, exhibits. Riley was frustrated and hungry, and as a result
he was acting out. Being non-verbal, his frustration often leads to screaming
and fits. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/Earlier

As a Survivor of Abortion, I Remember Abortion’s Victims Every
Day
Next
Saturday, September 14th, is the National Day of Remembrance for Aborted Children.
As many people know, this day of remembrance is a coordination of efforts
of Citizens for a Pro-Life Society (CPLS), (who you may remember me writing
about this past June, when I participated in their memorial service outside
of a newly closed abortion clinic in Michigan), Priests for Life, and the
Pro-Life Action League.

As many of you also
may know, this date of September 14th was chosen for this event because it
marks the 25th anniversary of the burial of several hundred abortion victims
in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/

Why
Won’t Planned Parenthood Denounce Men Who Pressure Women Into Abortions?
In a recent article of mine, I discussed the filth written by an author who goes by “bacon” for the site Return of Kings, in which he discusses three ways in which one can go about convincing a girl to get an abortion. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/
