Hundreds of Thousands of Pro-Life People Will Join 26th LifeChain
to Pray Against Abortion
At more than 1,800 locations
throughout the United States, pro-life advocates will join together in
the annual Life Chain to peacefully, prayerfully, and quietly hold signs
conveying the message “Abortion Kills Children.”
With other messages like “Abortion Hurts Women,” “Pray to End Abortion,” and “Jesus Forgives and Heals,” Life Chain participants have educated millions of passing motorists as they line the streets and sidewalks of cities large and small across America. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/
Obamacare Rationing: Man With Leukemia Loses His Health Insurance
Leading
pro-life groups warned from the beginning that Obamacare would lead to
rationing — whether it be through “death panels,” or a
reduction in care for elderly or terminally ill patients, or higher costs
for patients. Now, one man with leukemia is losing his health insurance
entirely.
Moreover, his doctor may cost him as much as $26,000 to see — a sum of money this middle class man just can’t afford. President Barack Obama said Americans could keep their health insurance if they wanted to under Obamacare, but it appears that may not be the case. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/

Harry Reid’s eyebrow-raising “why would I want to do that”
answer to a question about approving funding for cancer research for children.
Meanwhile, on NBC
Nightly News, John Yang hyped how “200 patients a week…including
about 30 children” had been turned away from “last-resort medical
treatment” due to the government shutdown, without mentioning Reid’s
gaffe. www.lifenews.com/2013/10/04/
There’s
a new A-team in Buenos Aires: meet Himalaya the Labrador and three-year-old
Hernan. Hernan was born with Down syndrome, and, according to his mother, he
is a very guarded little boy. He doesn’t connect very much with other people.But that didn’t stop the beautiful Labrador Himalaya from striking up a friendship. Himalaya patiently nudges Hernan until the little boy warms up to him. A four-minute YouTube video, shared by Hernan’s mother, captures the scene as the new friendship was formed. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/

Months
A
Chinese woman was dragged out of her home and forced to submit to an abortion
at six months of pregnancy. while her husband was detained so that he could

Abortionist Doesn’t Show Up After Pro-Lifers Pray Abortion
Clinic Would Close
For
the abortion industry, abortion is a business – and businesses need
customers. We have observed a trend … and so has the abortion industry:
40 Days for Life vigils are bad for business.
Some abortion centers have cut
their hours. Others have cancelled abortion days. God uses your prayerful
presence … in ways you might not be aware of. For

Neglect of the Elderly: Pope Francis Declares “Loneliness
of the Old” a Great Evil
When
I heard Pope Francis’ comments Wednesday that one of the greatest evils
in the world is the loneliness of the old and their need for care and companionship,
I immediately thought of Mother Teresa’s 1994 speech at the National
Prayer Breakfast in Washington DC. She said,
I can never forget the experience
I had in visiting a home where they kept all these old parents of sons and
daughters who had just put them into an institution and forgotten them —
maybe. I saw that in that home these old people had everything — good
food, comfortable place, television, everything, but everyone was looking
toward the door. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/When

NPR, AP Bow to Liberal Pressure: “Please Avoid Overusing “Obamacare’”
Andrew Beaujon of Poynter MediaWire reports that NPR standards editor Stuart Seidel asked reporters and editors to “please avoid overusing ‘Obamacare’” after the Maynard Institute’s minority-journalism blogger Richard Prince wrote him saying “the term can no longer be defended as neutral.” Prince said Obama isn’t using “Obamacare” in recent speeches. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/

Aborting People With Down Syndrome: No Such Thing as a Life Not Worth Living
I spent the afternoon today taking part in a “webinar” focused on providing support, Church teaching and information to families who receive a pre-natal diagnosis that their child will be disabled in some way. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/
Pro-Abortion
Catholic Professors Favor “Personhood” for Dolphins
Dolphins deserve “personhood” and human babies deserve subsidized killing. At many institutes of “higher learning,” such a position would hardly raise eyebrows. But at an ostensibly Catholic university. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/
Study Shows Big Drop in Teen Pregnancy Rates as Planned Parenthood Clinics Close
As a part of ALL’s just-released meta-study of Planned Parenthood, STOPP researchers analyzed the teen pregnancy rate in 16 counties of the Texas Panhandle. In those counties, over an 11-year period, closures of Planned Parenthood facilities were ongoing in the face of strong community opposition to the abortion giant’s presence. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/

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/

Oops!
Wendy Davis Campaign Directs People to Opposition Web Page
The official emails for the Texas gubernatorial campaign of abortion darling Wendy Davis thanking donors contained a major mistake — sending people to the web site of an opposition campaign. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/

The
Most Undervalued Pro-Life Argument Against Abortion
One of the best parts of my job is the work I do partnering with Justice For All. Right to Life of Central California has actually replicated the JFA program, so I’ve spent four years being trained by Steve Wagner to do many of the things he does for JFA in Wichita, from facilitating seminars and outreaches to coaching mentors. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/

I received this message on Facebook from a woman — going by a clearly fake name — who had apparently created a dummy account just for the purpose of messaging me anonymously. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/
