Young Boy With Cancer Loses Health Insurance Thanks to Obamacare
The family of a young boy in Texas has less to be thankful for this Thanksgiving — because their cancer-stricken little boy has lost his health insurance due to Obamacare.
Hunter Alford is described by his parents as a “wild, fun loving, zombie-killing boy who loves the military and police.” However, he was born with a rare form of cancer and lost his health insurance just after Obamacare went into effect, according to a report in WND.

Sadly, Hunter is one of many cancer patients who are losing their health care due to Obmacare’s rules and regulations.

Planned Parenthood President is Thankful for Wendy Davis Defending Late-Term Abortions
The president of the nation’s biggest abortion business has something to be thankful for this Thanksgiving Day — and it’s not friends, family or blessings from God.

No, Cecile Richards, in emails to supporters today and in a tweet to its members, thanked abortion activists. Specifically, Richards is thankful for Wendy Davis defending late-term abortions in Texas.

Thomas Jefferson’s Thanksgiving and Prayer Proclamation
Today we continue our Words From Our Founders series examining America’s Founding Fathers’ words on religion, religious liberty, and morality.
As Thanksgiving arrives, we are featuring various proclamations of prayer and thanksgiving issued by America’s founders. Below is a proclamation issued by Thomas Jefferson on November 11, 1779, when he was governor of Virginia.

Abortion Activist Compares Pushing Population Control to the 10 Commandments
Population alarmists and abortion groups are already vying for position in the new global development scheme that will replace the millennium development goals.

The UN system is gearing up for the next big thing. The millennium development goals are on their way out and countries must decide on a new set of goals by 2015. The goals will determine how development aid is spent for years to come. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/11/28/abortion-activist-compares-pushing-population-control-to-the-10-commandments/

Human Embryos With Genetic Diseases Destroyed for Stem Cells for NIH Registry
King’s College in London is proud that they have provided 16 new embryonic stem cell lines to the United States’ National Institutes of Health (NIH) registry of stem cell lines eligible for federal funding. On the King’s College website they explain that they have created these stem cell lines with a variety of genetic disease for US researchers to work on:

Scientists from King’s College London have announced that 16 human embryonic stem (hES) cell lines have been approved by the US National Institutes of Health (NIH) and placed on their Stem Cell Registry, making them freely available for federally-funded research in the USA. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/11/28/human-embryos-with-genetic-diseases-destroyed-for-stem-cells-for-nih-registry/
10 Women Who Accomplished Great Things Before the HHS Mandate
After the Supreme Court announced that they will hear a challenge to the HHS Contraception Mandate, the White House put out a statement saying that the mandate is “essential” to a woman’s health.
While the word “essential” is defined as being “a thing that is necessary” – meaning that the White House is literally claiming that women cannot be healthy without mandated contraception coverage, here are 10 women who accomplished great things without the government mandating that their employers pay for contraception. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/11/28/10-women-who-accomplished-great-things-before-the-hhs-mandate/

President Abraham Lincoln’s 1863 Thanksgiving Proclamation
The year that is drawing toward its close has been filled with the blessings of fruitful fields and healthful skies. To these bounties, which are so constantly enjoyed that we are prone to forget the source from which they come, others have been added which are of so extraordinary a nature that they can not fail to penetrate and soften even the heart which is habitually insensible to the ever-watchful providence of Almighty God.
In the midst of a civil war of unequaled magnitude and severity, which has sometimes seemed to foreign states to invite and to provoke their aggression, peace has been preserved with all nations, order has been maintained, the laws have been respected and obeyed, and harmony has prevailed everywhere, except in the theater of military conflict, while that theater has been greatly contracted by the advancing armies and navies of the Union. http://www.lifenews.com/2012/11/22/president-abraham-lincolns-1863-thanksgiving-proclamation/

Rise in IVF Popularity Leaves Thousands of Unborn Babies in Limbo
The fertility industry has been helpful to parents who are having trouble having a baby, but the pro-life community has long been concerned about the fallout: thousands, perhaps millions of human embryos — unique human beings — who are frozen on ice. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/11/28/rise-in-ivf-popularity-leaves-thousands-of-unborn-babies-in-limbo/
