Obamacare Day One: Many Americans Will Fund Abortions Without Their Consent
With the launch of Obamacare enrollment today, October 1 in a landmark date that will have many Americans railroaded into health insurance plans that directly pay for abortions with their insurance premiums – sometimes without their knowledge and consent.

Enrollment in the exchanges is to begin on October 1, 2013, and the exchanges are to offer health insurance coverage to an estimated 7 million individuals starting on January 1, 2014 (increasing to about 24 million by 2022). http://www.lifenews.com/2013/10/01/obamacare-day-one-many-americans-will-fund-abortions-without-their-consent/
Obama Admin May Face Lawsuit Over Illegal Funding of Abortions for Congress
The Obama administration may face a lawsuit over its decision to break current federal law to pay for abortions for members of Congress and Congressional staff via Obamacare.

As LifeNews reported, the Office of Personnel Management announced it will not comply with the Smith Amendment that bans taxpayer-funding of abortions in federal employee health care plans. 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/2013/10/01/obama-admin-may-face-lawsuit-over-illegal-funding-of-abortions-for-congress/

I Will Not Comply With the Obamacare Law and It’s Abortion Mandate, Are You With Me?
Today I’ve become an outlaw; a dissenter; an enemy of the state. Without my consent, the U.S. Congress passed a law that forces my conscience and conviction into an inescapable corner. I do not want to be in this position. I did not ask for it. I have not even taken a single action that would put me on the wrong side of the law – yet, somehow, here I am suddenly “breaking” it.

Eighteen years ago, I left my full-time job with an aerospace firm in San Diego to become a full-time ordained minister. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/10/01/i-will-not-comply-with-the-obamacare-law-and-its-abortion-mandate-are-you-with-me/

Two Years Later: Boy Who Doctors Said Would Never Smile Now Lights Up a Room
Doctors had all but convinced Jen and Brad Mckinstry that they should abort their son Colton. He had been diagnosed with hydrocephalus, the buildup of fluid in the ventricles within the brain, and the prognosis was anything but good. In fact, doctors were certain that their baby boy wouldn’t live. But on the off chance that he did survive his birth, doctors said he would be a “vegetable.”

“We were told that we should terminate our pregnancy with Colton seven times,” explains Mrs. Mckinstry, “and by three different doctors." http://www.lifenews.com/2013/10/01/two-years-later-boy-would-doctors-said-would-never-smile-now-lights-up-a-room/
Chinese Woman Forced to Abort at 18 Weeks, Baby’s Body Decayed From Heavy Drugs

Society’s Mixed-Up Priorities: Moved by Kitten Rescue, Numb to Abortion
Two things have happened to me in the past few weeks that may seem unrelated, but have become connected for me. One is a video that has gone viral on YouTube; as of my writing, it has over 13 million views. It is of a fireman saving a kitten from a burning building:
The other is the story of an abortionist who takes photos of pre-born babies she has aborted. Her reason for doing so is that the parents can then remember the “birth” of the aborted baby. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/10/01/societys-mixed-up-priorities-moved-by-kitten-rescue-numb-to-abortion/
