Sebelius: “I Don’t Know” if Americans Forced to Fund Abortions Under Obamacare
HHS Secretary Kathleen Sebelius told Congress today she didn’t know if Obamacare health care plans force Americans to pay for abortions, despite evidence that many plans will force enrollees to fund abortions.

Although Americans will definitely fund abortions under Obamacare, the top health care official didn’t know that was the case. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/10/30/sebelius-i-dont-know-if-americans-forced-to-fund-abortions-under-obamacare/
Obamacare Abortion Coverage Coverup: Demand Sebelius Tell the Truth
Ever since the roll out of the healthcare Exchanges at the beginning of October the implementation of the Affordable Care Act (ACA) has been a train wreck. Not only does the website not work, but pro-life Americans are unable to identify abortion-free plans on the Exchange.

Wednesday October 30, Secretary of Health Kathleen Sebelius testified before the House Energy and Commerce Committee about the implementation failures of the ACA. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/10/30/obamacare-abortion-coverage-coverup-demand-sebelius-tell-the-truth/
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.”
It’s Not Just the Website: Obamacare Funds Abortions, Guts Religious Liberty
Moments ago, Secretary Sebelius apologized to Congress…for a malfunctioning website. But the problem is not just the website. The problem is Obamacare itself!
Obamacare is a disaster for American families coast to coast. We don’t need a website fix. We need real healthcare reform — starting with an end to Obamacare.
Parents Told Their Disabled Baby Will Live Five Minutes, Hours Later He’s Alive But Needs Prayer
I remember each pregnancy like it was yesterday. The first trimester always brought me the most anxiety, if anything was going to happen it was likely to happen then. The second trimester always brought a sigh of relief and, of course, a much needed boost of energy. And the third trimester? Baby showers, busy preparations, excitement and a little, okay maybe a lot of, impatience for the big day. At 34 weeks, I wouldn’t have expected life-changing news.

Yet for one woman, currently in a hospital in Charleston, SC, that is exactly what has happened. It is called Polycystic Kidney Disease and her unborn child was diagnosed with it after she was rushed by ambulance to the hospital. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/10/30/parents-told-their-disabled-baby-will-live-five-minutes-hours-later-hes-alive-but-needs-prayer/

Does Obamacare Make Us Pay for Abortions? “I Don’t Know”
HHS Secretary Kathleen Sebelius didn’t have many answers today during a Congressional hearing on the abject failure that is Obamacare.

When asked about whether or not she could provide Americans with any answers about abortion funding in Obamacare, Sebelius told a congressman, “I don’t know.”

When Doctor Told Mom of New Catholic Bishop He’d be a “Freak,” She Rejected Abortion
Freak becomes a bishop. That’s the quick and easy storyline describing the path Father Andrew Cozzens took to becoming the next auxiliary bishop in the Archdiocese of St. Paul and Minneapolis.
But, here’s the strange part — the person who called him this name was a doctor. And, he pinned this label on Father Cozzens, called Drew throughout his childhood, without even seeing him. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/10/30/when-doctor-told-mom-of-new-catholic-bishop-hed-be-a-freak-she-rejected-abortion/
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.” - a reader.


Planned Parenthood Was Shocked When I Sought the Ultrasound Photo of the Baby I Aborted
For nearly three years after I had an abortion at 6 weeks gestation in February 2009, I had a strong desire to return to the abortion clinic to obtain my records. I hoped to find out something, anything, I could about my first baby, though I honestly don’t know what I thought I would find. I just knew I needed to go. At times, it felt as if this child didn’t really exist because I had nothing tangible declaring he did.
What I hoped more than anything else was that they would have an ultrasound photo on record. I remember having an ultrasound before the abortion, but I never saw the screen and I don’t remember them printing anything off. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/10/30/planned-parenthood-was-shocked-when-i-sought-the-ultrasound-photo-of-the-baby-i-aborted/
