Senate
Fails to Stop Filibuster of Obama Judge Who Said Abortion “Frees
Women”
The U.S. Senate today failed
to stop a Republican filibuster against pro-abortion Cornelia Pillard,
a law professor President Barack Obama selected for an appointment to
the most important appeals court in the nation.
Obama’[s pick for the D.C. Circuit Court, who is one of the most pro-abortion ever nominated, saw senators vote 56-41 to invoke cloture on her nomination and proceed to a vote. Short of the 60 votes needed, Democrats were unable to stop the Republican filibuster against the abortion advocate. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/
Poll: Americans Strongly Favor Repealing Obamacare, 55% Say Scrap It
A new national
poll conducted by Rasmussen Reports finds Americans strongly support repealing
the Obamcare health care law by a 13-point margin. The law has come under
heavy criticism from pro-life advocates for abortion funding, sending
taxpayer funds to the Planned Parenthood abortion business, and rationing
healthcare.
The new survey finds just 35% of likely voters now believe the trouble-plagued health care law is good for America. Fifty-five percent (55%) consider it bad for the country. Only two percent (2%) think it will have no impact. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/

New Catholic Bishops President Created Pro-Life Blessings for Unborn
Children
The U.S.
Conference of Catholic Bishops today elected Archbishop Joseph E. Kurtz
of Louisville as its next president. Kurtz is strongly pro-life and was
behind a pro-life blessing for unborn children the Vatican adopted in March
2012.

Kurtz, 67, has served
as the conference vice president of the bishops’ conference since 2010
and he was elected today at the conference’s fall assembly in Baltimore
to a three-year term. The bishops’ conference president is integral
to the pro-life outreach of the nation’s Cathoolic bishops, who engage
in numerous pro-life educational and legislative projects. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/
We dehydrate to
death helpless people to death in this country because they have a catastrophic
cognitive impairment. Advocates for dehydration say it is just medical ethics,
the withdrawal of the medical treatment of tube feeding. (Now, there is even
a lawsuit to compel starvation by withholding spoon feeding–not a medical
treatment!)Dehydrating helpless people to death was once unthinkable. Then, in the 80s, bioethicists began advocating withdrawing tube-supplied food and fluids. And so it came to pass. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/
 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.” -

Did You Know George Orwell Was Pro-Life on Abortion?
“Political language… is designed to make lies sound truthful and
murder respectable, and to give an appearance of solidity to pure wind.”
— George Orwell, “Politics and the English Language,” 1946
File 2330 - This was going to be a post about the importance of clarity in language and freedom of expression, full of all sorts of quotes from George Orwell, whose writing very effectively highlights the dangers of censorship and the ugliness of using euphemism to defend the indefensible. Just to be sure, I googled “George Orwell abortion”, in case he had made some wildly pro-abortion statement that I hadn’t heard of, but that could undermine the point of what I was writing. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/
Another ad has a young woman hoping to score with popular actor Ryan Gosling now that she has her own free birth control.

Racy “Got Insurance?” Campaign Says: “Let’s
Hope He’s as Easy as This Free Birth Control”
A
new racy campaign called “Got Insurance” was released today with
advertisements that are intended to tout the free birth control component
of the Obamacare health care plan. The ads are bathed in sexual overtones,
with one ad having a woman declare: “Let’s Hope He’s as Easy
as This Free Birth Control.”

Undercover Video: Underage Girls Can’t Buy Sudafed But Can
Easily Buy Plan B Drug
A
pro-life student group today released a new video showing young girls not
legally old enough for sexual relations were unable to buy the sudafed cold
medicine but could easily purchase the Plan B drug. Although sex with a girl
15-years-old or younger if statutory rape, the girls had no problems getting
the drugs at nationally-known stores.
Earlier this year, the Food &
Drug Administration announced that “Plan B,” also known as the “morning
after pill”, should be sold over the counter to anyone of any age. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/A

Study: Patients Supposedly in “Vegetative” State “Not
Just Aware But Paying Attention”
We have written dozens of stories the common theme of which is that patients diagnosed in a “persistent vegetative state” or “minimally conscious” are either (a) misdiagnosed or (b) much more aware than they are given credit for. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/

The Pro-Life Movement Belongs to All of Us: Including Non-Christian Pro-Lifers

Supreme Court Won’t Hear Case Striking Oklahoma’s Ultrasound
Law on Abortion
The Supreme Court will not hear an appeal from Oklahoma official seeking to restore the law the Oklahoma state legislature approved to allow women a chance to see an ultrasound of their unborn child before an abortion.
