Obama Admits Promises You Could Keep Your Health Care Plan “Not Accurate”
During a press conference at the White House today, President Barack Obama admitted that estimated 5 million cancellations of Americans’ health care due to Obamacare were his fault — saying “that’s on me.”

“There is no doubt that the way I put that forward unequivocally ended up not being accurate,” Obama said of his pledge that if Americans have an insurance plan that they like, they could keep it under Obamacare. “It was not because of my intention not to deliver on that promise. We put a grandfather clause into the law, but it was insufficient.” http://www.lifenews.com/2013/11/14/obama-admits-promises-you-could-keep-your-health-care-plan-not-accurate/
Late-Term Abortion Clinic Shoots Babies Through the Heart With Poison to Kill Them
Residents of Albuquerque, New Mexico will vote on Tuesday on a measure that would ban abortions after 20 weeks of pregnancy. As a new undercover videos shows, the notorious late-term abortion facility Southwestern Women’s Options kills unborn babies by shooting them through the heart with poison.

With the vote days away, the pro-life group Live Action today released a new investigative video that exposes the gruesome particulars of the late-term abortion procedure and the sleazy business side of the abortion industry. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/11/14/late-term-abortion-clinic-shoots-babies-through-the-heart-with-poison-to-kill-them/
Patient With Five Brain Tumors Loses Health Insurance Thanks to Obamacare
The number of patients with cancer or other diseases or conditions who are losing their health care thanks to the Obamacare law continues to pile up. Today, news outlets are focused on Gloria Cantor, a Floridian woman battling cancer, who received a note that her and her husband Jay’s health insurance will be dropped in Summer 2014 due to a loophole in Obamacare.
The news for the Cantor family is particularly devastating because Gloria has five brain tumors and tumors in her bones. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/11/14/patient-with-five-brain-tumors-loses-health-insurance-thanks-to-obamacare/
Speaker Boehner: The Only Way to Fix Obamacare is to Repeal It
While President Barack Obama was at the White House making a further mess of Obamacare and admitting he was not truthful when he told Americans they could keep their current health insurance policies under Obamacare, Speaker John Boehner has an answer for how to fix the problems.
Repeal Obamacare.

Boehner says the only way to fix the health care law is to scrap it entirely. He spoke shortly before Obama revealed his plan to let insurance companies continue cancelled coverage for millions of Americans. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/11/14/speaker-boehner-the-only-way-to-fix-obamacare-is-to-repeal-it/
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.

Pro-Life OBYGN Who Once Did 1,200 Abortions Backs Late-Term Abortion Ban
A former abortion practitioner who is now a pro-life OBGYN is taking a stand in favor of a measure in his home state of New Mexico to ban late-term abortions. Dr. Anthony Levatino is speaking up in favor of a ballot proposal in Albuquerque that voters will consider on Tuesday which bans abortions after 20 weeks.

The ban would stop a late-term abortion clinic which shoots unborn babies through the heart with poison. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/11/14/pro-life-obygn-who-once-did-1200-abortions-backs-late-term-abortion-ban/
Obamacare’s Department of Death With Dignity: Taking Insurance From Patients
At first glance, it may sound a bit harsh to define Obamacare as akin to the president’s version of a federal Department of Death with Dignity, but look carefully at a few examples of what has already occurred.
According to Dr. Scott Gottlieb, Obamacare is going to harm cancer patients. He writes, “Obamacare is going to degrade medicine but its ill effects will fall disproportionately on patients with serious conditions, especially those diagnosed with cancer.” http://www.lifenews.com/2013/11/14/obamacares-department-of-death-with-dignity-taking-insurance-from-cancer-patients/
MSNBC Guest: Abortionists Are “Doing Wonderful, Important Work”
So it seems that the sentiment at MSNBC is that killing babies is “important work.” At least that seems to be the message that Chris Jansing was sending her audience when she brought on New York Magazine’s Meaghan Winter to preview her article on abortion entitled “My Abortion.”
Appearing on her daily show on Thursday November 14, host Chris Jansing introduced the segment by hyping the “moving and often surprising stories” of women seeking abortions before bringing on her two guests to sympathize with their efforts: http://www.lifenews.com/2013/11/14/msnbc-guest-abortionists-are-doing-wonderful-important-work/
Obamacare is Key to Expanding the Planned Parenthood Abortion Business
They were in on it from the beginning, so it is hardly surprising to see Planned Parenthood now not just promoting, but standing poised to reap the financial benefits of ObamaCare. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/11/14/obamacare-is-key-to-expanding-the-planned-parenthood-abortion-business/
Planned Parenthood Still Charges Women $200 If They Change Their Mind on an Abortion

Supreme Court Told to Uphold 20-Week Ban to Protect Down Syndrome Babies From Abortion
Lead counsel Bioethics Defense Fund filed a “friend of the court” brief in the U.S. Supreme Court making a novel legal argument addressing disability-selective abortion. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/11/14/supreme-court-told-to-uphold-20-week-ban-to-protect-down-syndrome-babies-from-abortion/

Not Just “If You Like Your Plan…” Obama Misled About Abortion Funding in Obamacare

Abortion Activists Characterize Pregnancy as “Inescapable Curse,” “Death Sentence”
A new campaign conflates wildly different realities, putting restrictions on all birth control (Philippines) and the criminalization of miscarriages (El Salvador) on the same level as abortion clinic regulations (North Dakota, USA) and the presence of pro-life demonstrators (Texas, USA). http://www.lifenews.com/2013/11/14/abortion-activists-characterize-pregnancy-as-inescapable-curse-death-sentence/

Pro-Lifers Do Care for for People After They’re Born, Here’s One Way

Wrong to Harvest Organs From Condemned Man on Death Row
I know this will be an unpopular opinion, but I think it is wrong to allow a condemned man to donate non vital organs before executing him. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/11/14/wrong-to-harvest-organs-from-condemned-man-on-death-row/
