Tweetfest on Wednesday Will Demand End to Hiding Abortion Funding in Obamacare
Being forced to pay for abortion because of the secrecy of coverage is anti-choice., and, really, it’s also un-American. A new social media event seeks to highlight this and bring about change.

“Tell @Sebelius to #BeTransparent. Why won’t #Obamacare tell us which plans include #abortion?” says the sample tweet that is one of many for the Oct. 30 event, TweetFest: Tell Sebelius to #BeTransparent about Abortion Coverage in Obamacare, which takes place at a computer, tablet or smartphone nearest to you between 9 a.m. and noon next Wednesday. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/10/27/tweetfest-on-wednesday-will-demand-end-to-hiding-abortion-funding-in-obamacare/
95% of Women Having Abortions: Planned Parenthood Told Me Nothing About My Baby
David C Reardon conducted one of the most extensive interviews of postabortion women ever done. He asked them questions about their abortion experiences. The women he interviewed were involved in pro-life ministries that help postabortion women, and most of them, at some level at least, regretted their abortions. Here are the ways that many of the women answered his questions.

24% took a week to make the decision to have an abortion, 12% 2 to 3 weeks, 6% 4 to 6 weeks , 7% seven weeks or more http://www.lifenews.com/2013/10/27/95-of-women-having-abortions-planned-parenthood-told-me-nothing-about-my-baby/
The National Association of Pro-life Nurses announces its 2013-2014 scholarship for nursing students! Any pro-life nursing student currently enrolled in a nursing program is eligible to apply. For further details, go to nursesforlife.org “Take my hand, not my life.”
Archbishop Chaput: Right to Life is Still the Foundational Human Right
It’s not a secret to anyone that I am a huge admirer of Philadelphia Archbishop Charles J. Chaput. He is a graceful writer who is able to pack an amazing amount in insight into his weekly columns for “Catholic Philly.”
I particularly enjoyed his thoughts and reflections this week on “Living the Gospel of Life: A Challenge to American Catholics.” http://www.lifenews.com/2013/10/27/archbishop-chaput-right-to-life-is-still-the-foundational-human-right/
“I Made a Mistake” – Heartbreaking Signs Tells of Woman’s Abortion Pain
Abortion promises relief … that for around $500, your worries and fears will go away with a 15-minute surgery. It is sold and encouraged by many as the “responsible” solution.

That may be the promise before an abortion. But afterwards, a woman’s face tells a very different story. That’s why it is so important that we stand vigil — before the abortion, to be a sign of hope … and after the abortion, to represent our Lord’s mercy. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/10/27/i-made-a-mistake-heartbreaking-signs-tells-of-womans-abortion-pain/

Terry McAuliffe: I Will Never Compromise on Promoting Abortion
During Thursday’s third and final Virginia gubernatorial debate at Virginia Tech, Democratic candidate Terry McAuliffe once again pledged to never compromise on the issue of abortion.

His pro-choice vow comes after revelations that an abortion clinic in Falls Church, VA was rife with safety violations. Mollie Hemingway, writing in The Federalist, provides the horrific details of the clinic in question. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/10/27/terry-mcauliffe-i-will-never-compromise-on-promoting-abortion/
Abortion Backer Throws Coffee Cup at Pro-Lifer Praying at Abortion Clinic
Our North American outreach director, Steve Karlen, calls Wisconsin home … but he’s traveling from coast to coast during this campaign, speaking and praying at many 40 Days for Life locations.
Steve has met many great, salt-of-the-earth volunteers in his travels. But he’s also run across an occasional critic. Usually, the opponents just toss angry words. But one time … they tossed a coffee cup! http://www.lifenews.com/2013/10/27/abortion-backer-throws-coffee-cup-at-pro-lifer-praying-at-abortion-clinic/

Redefining Beauty to See Beyond the Disabilities
Rick Guidotti’s life has been all about beauty and the power of images since he spent years as a fashion photographer.
His life was changed forever while photographing a woman with Albinism. Those medical pictures changed his life forever and he now reserved his talent to the disabled.
Nursing Homes Told They Can’t Have Policies Refusing CPR to Residents
A little good news out of the federal bureaucracy for a change. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/10/27/nursing-homes-told-they-cant-have-policies-refusing-cpr-to-residents/
Christians and Buddhists Join Forces to Speak Out Against Abortion
Taiwanese Christians and Buddhists gathered together this month to demand that the government amend a provision in the Generic Health Act, which they believe is responsible for an increase of abortions in in Taiwan. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/10/27/christians-and-buddhists-join-forces-to-speak-out-against-abortion/

The Pro-Choice Myth: Forced Abortions are Still a Reality in America
Many well-kept secrets are difficult to believe, once revealed. And most Americans would assert that forced abortion does not take place in our nation. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/10/27/the-pro-choice-myth-forced-abortions-are-still-a-reality-in-america/

Creation of Human Embryos With Three Parents Facing Massive Opposition
To stop the latest of the Brave New World movements, we need a cacophony of resistance. Luckily, it is not just pro-lifers that are sounding the alarm about three-parent IVF, also called mitochondrial replacement (MR). http://www.lifenews.com/2013/10/27/creation-of-human-embryos-with-three-parents-facing-massive-opposition/

Letter Will Tell Every British Doctor Sex-Selection Abortions are Illegal
It’s difficult from this side of the pond to understand exactly what this means (if anything), but according to the British newspaper, The Daily Mail, the Chief Medical Officer (Dame Sally Davies) “is to write to all GPs to make it plain that abortions carried out solely on the grounds of the sex of the child are wrong.” http://www.lifenews.com/2013/10/27/letter-will-tell-every-british-doctor-sex-selection-abortions-are-illegal/

Local Media Cover Pro-Life Prayer WarriorsSaving Babies From Abortion
At the start of this campaign, I spoke to a priest after an event. “What a joy to hear about abortion workers converting,” he said. “But when will the media convert?”http://www.lifenews.com/2013/10/27/local-media-cover-pro-life-prayer-warrior-saving-babies-from-abortion/

ACLU Claims Pro-Life Laws Passed Because Pro-Lifers Think “Americans are Stupid”

Abortion Industry Insider Admits Groups of Medical Professionals Support Abortion Docs
Carole Joffe is a familiar pro-abortion name to those of us who keep track of the comings and goings of key players in the Abortion Establishment. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/10/27/abortion-industry-insider-admits-groups-of-medical-professionals-support-abortion-docs/
