Reverses, Welcomes Back Pro-Life Phil Robertson to Duck Dynasty
After a national debate about
sexual moral and values following A&E’s decision to kick Duck
Dynasty star Phil Robertson off of the program, the cable television channel
has relented and issued a statement late Friday welcoming him back.
An A&E statement to The Hollywood Reporter read: As a global media content company, A+E Networks’ core values are centered around creativity, inclusion and mutual respect. We believe it is a privilege for our brands to be invited into people’s home and we operate with a strong sense of integrity and deep commitment to these principals... http://www.lifenews.com/2013/
Hospital Yanking Jahi McMath’s Life Support Refuses to Transfer Her to New Facility
The family
of the teenage girl in California who is the subject of a national debate
over whether a hospital has the right to yank life support has found a
new care facility that will continue her medical care and treatment. But
the hospital she is at now won’t cooperate to move her.
A judge had ruled that a hospital in Oakland, California can remove life support from Jahi McMath, 13, who has been declared brain-dead days after undergoing surgery to have her tonsils removed. Her family is already devastated enough but has had to fight the hospital, which wanted to take her off life support against their wishes. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/

Court:
Obama Admin “Doesn’t Have the Right” to Impose HHS Mandate
on Christian Colleges
The Obama
administration has lost yet another court case against the controversial
HHS mandate that forces companies, colleges, and religious groups to pay
for birth control and drugs that may cause abortions under their employee
health plans.
The Obama
administration has lost yet another court case against the controversial
HHS mandate that forces companies, colleges, and religious groups to pay
for birth control and drugs that may cause abortions under their employee
health plans.
Today a Houston
federal court delivered a major blow to the controversial HHS mandate ruling
in favor of East Texas Baptist University and Houston Baptist University.
In a 46-page opinion, the court ruled that the federal mandate requiring
employers to provide employees with abortion-causing drugs and devices violates
federal civil rights laws, and issued an injunction against the mandate.
Religious plaintiffs have now won injunctions in 9 out of 12 such cases
involving non-profit entities challenging the mandate. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/
Abortion Doc Who Failed to Report Statutory Rapes Stops Abortions
Forth Wayne, Indiana
is temporarily abortion-free now that an abortion practitioner who failed
to properly report cases of statutory rape to state officials has stopped
doing abortions. How long Ulrich Klopfer, the Illinois-based abortion practitioner
who did abortions in this large Indiana city until problems came up recently,
will stop doing abortions remains to be seen.

Klopfer is the abortion
practitioner who has come under fire for failing to report abortions on
teen girls who were victims of rape. Klopfer called the failures an “honest
mistake.” http://www.lifenews.com/2013/
Video Shows Mother Teresa Saying “Every Abortion is a Rejection
of Jesus”
A news website has posted an old video of Mother Teresa, whose commentary
on abortion was always poignant and inspiring.
“But I feel that the greatest destroyer of peace today is abortion, because Jesus said, ‘If you receive a little child, you receive me,’” she is famous for saying. “So every abortion is the denial of receiving Jesus, is the neglect of receiving Jesus. It is really a war against the child, a direct killing of the innocent child, murder by the mother herself.” http://www.lifenews.com/2013/

Pregnant Teen Dies in Tragic Christmas Shooting, Doctors Save Her
Baby
Chicago
has become the murder capital of America for the large number of shootings
and murder victims it produces and, tragically, Christmas day was no exception.
Young Eva Casara told her grandmother she was leaving the house and asked
when dinner was ready. Sadly, the pregnant teenager never made it back home.
The only silver lining in the
case is officials were able to rescue her unborn baby. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/Chicago

Abortion Doc Has Change of Heart, Recognizes Humanity of the Unborn
Dr.
Beverly McMillan is a former abortionist who left the abortion business. She
spoke at a conference sponsored by the Pro-Life Action League called “Meet
the Abortion Providers,” which took place in Chicago. She has also told
her story to Focus on the Family, which published her testimony in a pamphlet
called “How One Doctor Changed Her Mind on Abortion.” She performed
abortions only in the first trimester, but as you will see, even some babies
in the first trimester are very well-developed. In her own words:
I wanted to be the world’s
best abortionist, for the good of my patients. If I was going to do this,
I was going to do it right. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/Dr.

What Does Wendy Davis’ Nomination as “Texan of the Year”
Tell Us?
Then there is one of the finalists for the Dallas Morning News’ 2013 “Texan of the Year.” Let’s think hard: pro-abortion newspaper that can never beat up pro-life Republicans enough or celebrate pro-abortion Democrats sufficiently. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/
