Bombshell Study Finds 44% Increased Breast Cancer Risk for Women Having Abortions
A new systematic review and meta-analysis of abortion and breast cancer (ABC link) in China was just published four days ago in the prestigious, peer-reviewed international cancer journal, Cancer Causes and Control.

In this meta-analysis (a study of studies, in which results from many studies are pooled), Dr. Yubei Huang et al. reported that, combining all 36 studies on the ABC link in China that have been published through 2012, the overall risk of developing breast cancer among women who had at least one induced abortion was significantly increased by 44%. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/12/02/bombshell-study-finds-44-increased-breast-cancer-risk-for-women-having-abortions/
Family Finds Obamacare Health Insurance Plan Won’t Cover Their Infant Daughter
Millions of Americans have already lost their health insurance thanks to Obamacare and now there is a new problem — the Obamacare health care plans the small numbers of Americans have having success in obtaining aren’t covering everyone.

Witness this family in New York. Cornelius Kelly had no issues securing health insurance under the state Obamacare exchange for his family and some of their children, but their 18-month-old daughter was left out in the cold. He was told she would be required to have her own health insurance policy costing the Kelly family as much as $369 a month. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/12/02/family-finds-obamacare-health-insurance-plan-wont-cover-their-infant-daughter/
British Authorities Abduct Child From Mother’s Womb Via C-Section
Fifteen months have passed since social services in Essex ordered the removal of a pre-born child from her mother’s womb via Cesarian section.
The woman, an Italian who allegedly suffered a mental breakdown during a business trip to England, called the police during a panic attack. She was taken to a mental facility and held there per the Mental Health Act. A few weeks into her sectioning, she was sedated, and when she woke up, she was no longer pregnant. She was informed that her child had been removed via C-section and placed with social services authorities. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/12/02/british-authorities-abduct-child-from-mothers-womb-via-c-section/

Group Sues for “Legal Personhood” for Chimps in State With Highest Abortion Rate
An animal rights group has filed a lawsuit seeking “legal personhood” for chimpanzees in the state of New York, the state with arguably the nation’s highest abortion rates.
Reuters reports that the non-profit Nonhuman Rights Project has sued in New York state court to declare a 26-year-old chimp named Tommy “a cognitively complex autonomous legal person with the fundamental legal right not to be imprisoned.” Never mind that, unlike an unborn child before birth, chimpanzees are not actually human persons. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/12/02/group-sues-for-legal-personhood-for-chimps-in-state-with-highest-abortion-rate/

Why I’ll Pay the Fine Instead of Buying Obamacare
“Put your money where your mouth is.” Many people are familiar with that popular phrase. Basically, it’s a challenge to back up your words with actions.

As a writer and a talkative person, I’m full of words – words that embody my beliefs and guide my steps. Although I’m far from perfect, I seek to be an authentic person who lives by the principles I profess. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/12/02/why-ill-pay-the-fine-instead-of-buying-obamacare/
Americans Oppose HHS Mandate Obama Admin Forcing Hobby Lobby to Comply With
The Supreme Court last week agreed to take a case from Christian-run business Hobby Lobby, which is suing the Obama administration over its mandate that it pay for birth control and abortion-causing drugs for its employees. But where do Americans stand on the issue of whether employers should be forced to comply with the mandate.
A new Rasmussen Reports poll shows they apparently agree. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/12/02/americans-oppose-hhs-mandate-obama-admin-forcing-hobby-lobby-to-comply-with/
End the Censorship: Inform Women Abortion Increases Breast Cancer Risk
In the US we are used to abortion advocates claiming that the risk of elective abortion is relatively trivial, and major medical organizations denying any link between abortion and breast cancer.
Now a powerful new study from China published last week by Yubei Huang and colleagues suggests otherwise. The article, a meta-analysis pooling 36 studies from 14 provinces in China, showed that abortion increased the risk of breast cancer by 44% with one abortion, and 76% and 89% with two and three abortions. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/12/02/end-the-censorship-inform-women-abortion-increases-breast-cancer-risk/
Social Services Takes Mom’s Unborn Baby: “Please Don’t Take My Daughter Away”

Bishop Warns Obama: You’ve Lost Catholics Because of Your HHS-Abortion Mandate
With the Supreme Court slated to take up the battle against the Obamcare HHS mandate early next year, Cardinal Timothy Dolan of New York said the Catholic Church has a warning for the president. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/12/02/bishop-warns-obama-youve-lost-catholics-because-of-your-hhs-abortion-mandate/

Report: 1,100 Home Care Patients in England Dehydrated to Death Since 2003
A scary report out of England finds that more than 1,100 home care patients were essentially dehydrated to death since 2003. The report indicates the patient sin question died of thirst or while suffering severe dehydration. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/12/02/report-1100-home-care-patients-in-england-dehydrated-to-death-since-2003/
