Pro-Life Teacher Fired After Kicking Planned Parenthood Out of His Class
Planned Parenthood is after the career and livelihood of a distinguished, highly-qualified, good high school teacher, Bill Diss, who had the audacity to tell Planned Parenthood that they were not allowed in his classroom.After a second hearing last night, that pro-life teacher, Bill Diss, has been fired.

The school board for the Portland Public School District voted to terminate Diss’ contract after Planned Parenthood’s lobbying effort. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/12/17/pro-life-teacher-fired-who-kicked-planned-parenthood-out-of-his-class/
ABC Falsely Reports Pope Removed “Outspoken Critic of Abortion” From Vatican Court
Tuesday’s Good Morning America simply didn’t have its facts straight in their rush to portray Pope Francis as a crypto-liberal.

Amy Robach hyped that the pontiff “removed an outspoken critic of abortion and same-sex marriage from a powerful post within the Church. Conservative Cardinal Raymond Burke…was head of the Vatican’s highest court.” Robach then asserted that “this move is seen as reinforcing the Pope’s vision for a more inclusive church.” http://www.lifenews.com/2013/12/17/abc-falsely-reports-pope-removed-outspoken-critic-of-abortion-from-vatican-court/
“Would Planned Parenthood Have Aborted Jesus?” Pro-Life Christmas Carolers Ask
What would Christmas be without the Baby Jesus? What will Christmas be like this year in all those homes with missing babies–all the babies who would have experienced their first Christmas this year?
It’s with that sobering thought that pro-life Christmas carolers will move through the city singing songs around an empty manger as they visit Chicago abortion clinics.

Couple Rejects Abortion, Chooses Life for All Their Quintuplets
As we near the end of our year-long “Roe at 40” series, I’m going to particularly emphasize stories that affirm the best in us. I hope you will pass this account along to your pro-life family and friends. This appeared in National Right to Life News in 2007.
Faced with doctors’ dire predictions and advice to “selectively reduce” their five unborn babies, Jayson and Rachelle Wilkinson made the choice for life. After 34-weeks and a temporary move to receive the best care for a multiple pregnancy, Rachelle gave birth to five healthy babies July 31. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/12/17/couple-rejects-abortion-chooses-life-for-all-their-quintuplets/

Hospital Pressuring Family of Girl “Brain Dead” After Tonsillectomy to Pull the Plug
Jahi McMath, 13, as been declared brain-dead, just days after undergoing surgery to have her tonsils removed. her family is already devastated enough but now they are fighting the hospital, which wants to take her off life support against their wishes.

“They took away my granddaughter. That’s how it feels,” said Chatman. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/12/17/hospital-pressuring-family-of-girl-brain-dead-after-tonsillectomy-to-pull-the-plug/
Judge: Obamacare’s HHS Mandate Forces Catholic Groups to Violate Their Religion
A federal judge has given the pro-life side another victory against the Obamacare HHS mandate that compels religious groups to violate their conscience by paying for birth control ad drugs that may cause early abortions.
The judge ruled late Monday that a group of Catholic organizations in New York don’t have to comply with the HHS mandate. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/12/17/judge-obamacares-hhs-mandate-forces-catholic-groups-to-violate-their-religion/
PETA Tells Girl Badly Mauled by Bear: You Deserved It
I really do believe that PETA is a people hating organization, at least among its leadership. Alpha wolf Ingrid Newkirk, for example, expressed the wish that humans had never appeared on the planet.
Recently, a young woman in Florida was out hunting and badly mauled by a bear. No one asked PETA’s opinion, but they sent the recovering girl a letter that basically told her she got what she deserved. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/12/17/peta-tells-girl-badly-mauled-by-bear-you-deserved-it/

Study: Babies are a $217,000 Financial Blessing to Society
$217,000 is a large chunk of change. You could buy a mining ghost town in California, a new Bentley, or the designer wedding dress of Princess Marie-Chantal for that amount of money. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/12/17/study-babies-are-a-217000-financial-blessing-to-society/

Christmas: An Unplanned Pregnancy Resulting in the Ultimate Self-Sacrifice
Sometimes we achieve clarity when we put an ideology into a different context. Our news media superficially celebrates those who fight for “equality” while denying it to millions through the violence of abortion. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/12/17/christmas-an-unplanned-pregnancy-resulting-in-the-ultimate-self-sacrifice/

Planned Parenthood Accidentally Promotes Pro-Life Message on Facebook
On Wednesday, PolicyMic released a list of 28 iconic feminist moments of 2013. Many of the moments are dubiously-named “feminist,” since the word denotes a person who believes in equal rights for women. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/12/17/planned-parenthood-accidentally-promotes-pro-life-message-on-facebook/

Ireland Must Resist Massive Pressure to Legalize Abortions
Most Western countries bear testimony to the fact that the legalisation of abortion, even in very restricted circumstances, leads inexorably to abortion on demand. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/12/17/ireland-must-resist-massive-pressure-to-legalize-abortions/
Most “Pro-Choice” People Really Don’t Know What They Believe About Abortion
I continue my response to a listener who asks: “Why are we trying to be so careful to accurately describe other people’s positions? They do just fine describing it for themselves.”. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/12/17/most-pro-choice-people-really-dont-know-what-they-believe-about-abortion/
