Doc Who Killed Woman in Botched Abortion Sends Another Abortion Patient to Hospital
An ambulance was summoned to the Summit Medical Center abortion clinic in Detroit, Michigan, yesterday, and rushed an African-American woman to the hospital. This is the second such incident at this abortion clinic since March.

Pro-life activist Emmanuel Lugermo ignored orders by the clinic security guards not to photograph the incident. His pictures show a woman on a gurney in obvious distress. Witnesses on the scene said she was trembling or shaking. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/10/03/doc-who-killed-woman-in-botched-abortion-sends-another-abortion-patient-to-hospital/
Administrators of 150 Obamacare Plans Can’t Say Which Fund Abortion
Under the Affordable Care Act, on October 1 state health-insurance exchanges opened for consumers to research plan options and enroll in a plan of their choice. The options include the new multi-state plans (MSPs) that are administered by the federal Office of Personnel Management. They are available in select states during this first year of a four-year phase-in process.

On the first day the exchanges were available, the Charlotte Lozier Institute (CLI) examined the OPM site and its initial list of more than 150 MSPs in an attempt to ascertain which plans cover elective abortion and whether the Obama administration has complied with the law’s requirement that at least one MSP in each exchange exclude such coverage. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/10/03/administrators-of-150-obamacare-plans-cant-say-which-fund-abortion/
Sebelius Fails in Her Own State, No One From Kansas Signs Up for Obamacare
HHS Secretary Kathleen Sebelius has been President Barack Obama’s main organizer and cheerleader for Obamacare since its inception. But you know the government-run health care plan is bad when the Secretary of the Health and Human Services Department can’t get anyone from her own state to sign up for it.
Today, the office of Congressman Tim Huelskamp revealed that according to one of the insurance providers in Kansas, none of the 356,000 uninsured Kansans successfully signed up for insurance on the much-hyped ObamaCare exchanges the first day. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/10/03/sebelius-fails-in-her-own-state-no-one-from-kansas-signs-up-for-obamacare/
Obamacare: Abortion OK, But Your Unborn Child Can Qualify You for Government Health Care
The Obamacare health care law will fund abortions and has already resulted in sending more than $1 million in taxpayer funds to the Planned Parenthood abortion business to sign people up for Obamacare.

Yet, in what pro-life advocate Simcha Reuven of Family Institute of Connecticut calls an example of utter hypocrisy, Obamacare is fine with using your unborn children to qualify you for Obamacare. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/10/03/obamacare-abortion-ok-but-your-unborn-child-can-qualify-you-for-government-health-care/

Radio Host: I’ve Spent $45K on Abortions, Great Investment Compared to Child Support
VladTV has posted video of radio personality Star, sharing his thoughts on NBA basketball star J.J. Redick’s abortion contract with former girlfriend Vanessa Lopez.

Star is cool with all that. In the video he says he has spent $45,000 himself on abortions, which he considers a great investment as opposed to paying child support for a “little f***er rugrat.” http://www.lifenews.com/2013/10/03/radio-host-ive-spent-45k-on-abortions-great-investment-compared-to-child-support/
Abortion Activist Wendy Davis Announces Her Campaign, Pictured With Children
Wendy Davis announced her campaign for governor in Texas today and the irony of her support for aborting babies after viability apparently is lost — on her.
Davis tweeted out a picture showing her with Texas children — whose lives were not snuffed out by abortion. Conservative and pro-life activists noticed and were quick to respond.

Couple Rejects Abortion After Getting Pro-Life Brochure, “They Left the Clinic With Smiles”
I’ve been to hundreds of 40 Days for Life locations. While the peaceful nature of each vigil is similar, the logistics can be very different and very challenging.
Some places have it easier, if you will, with large public rights-of-way and great visibility. But in other places, participants have to stand far away. This allows little opportunity to be seen by the men and women entering the facility. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/10/03/couple-rejects-abortion-after-getting-pro-life-brochure-they-left-the-clinic-with-smiles/
Texas Right to Life Slams Abortion Activist Wendy Davis in New Hard-Hitting Ad
Abortion activist Wendy Davis announces her campaign for governor this week and Texas Right to Life is right there to meet her with a new hard-hitting ad that blasts her for her defense of late-term abortions in the Texas legislature.. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/10/03/texas-right-to-life-slams-abortion-activist-wendy-davis-in-new-hard-hitting-ad/

Doctors: Patients Don’t Need to be Dead Before We Harvest Their Organs

Obamacare Tax on Health Insurance Will Affect Most Plans, Ration Health Care

Euthanasia Activists Say Obamacare Will Lead to More Assisted Suicides
I rarely agree with assisted suicide proponents. But an article in Salon may be onto something–that the passage of the Affordable Care Act could boost assisted suicide legalization. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/10/03/euthanasia-activists-say-obamacare-will-lead-to-more-assisted-suicides/
My Daddy’s Name Is Donor: A Glaring Problem With the Fertility Industry
Many cultural commentators and media talking heads have labelled the 21st century the “surveillance age,” citing the increasingly omnipresent eye of the state and the slowly shrinking segment of our daily lives that remains unrecorded by the faceless automatons of government bureaucracy. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/10/03/my-daddys-name-is-donor-a-glaring-problem-with-the-fertility-industry/
The Special Privilege of Being a Parent of a Child With Down Syndrome

BET Teams With Planned Parenthood on Breast Cancer Awareness, But Abortions Raise Risk
Abortion raises the risk of breast cancer for women, but that isn’t stopping the Black Entertainment Network (BET) from partnering with the abortion giant for a breast cancer awareness event. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/10/03/bet-teams-with-planned-parenthood-on-breast-cancer-awareness-but-abortions-raise-risk/
Three Newborn Babies Abandoned in Trash Buried in the “Garden of Innocence”
There are few stories harder to write about than newborn babies dumped into trashcans like so much refuse. For whatever reason, we’ve heard about more of these tragedies in the past few months. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/10/03/three-newborn-babies-abandoned-in-trash-buried-in-the-garden-of-innocence/
Obama Admin Determines Defending HHS Mandate Not “Essential” During Shutdown
The Obama administration clearly believes that nothing can be allowed to stop Obamacare, but it can’t make up its mind whether abortion pills are essential for women’s safety under that law. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/10/03/obama-admin-determines-defending-hhs-mandate-not-essential-during-shutdown/
Catholic University Partners With Chinese Forced Abortion Opponent Chen Guangcheng
