Catholic
Bishop Slams Nelson Mandela’s Legalizing Unlimited Abortion as “Shameful”
A Catholic bishop in the United
States is taking exception to the unrestricted praise the world is heaping
on deceased South African president and civil rights leader Nelson Mandela,
calling his signing a bill to legalize unlimited abortions “shameful.”
The bishop of Providence, Rhode Island, Bishop Thomas Tobin, criticized “Mandela’s “shameful promotion of abortion in South Africa.”

Planned Parenthood Uses Celebrities, Paid Canvassers in Massive Push to Save Obamacare
The Planned
Parenthood abortion business stands to be one of the biggest beneficiaries
financially from the success of Obamacare, which funds abortions and is
funding the abortion giant directly.
With millions of Americans losing health insurance under Obamacare and support for its repeal at an all-time high, Planned Parenthood is relying on a campaign including top celebrities and a massive public relations push to “save” Obamacare. Meanwhile, the abortion company is taking to Craig’s List to hire canvassers to go door-to-door to promote Obamacare. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/

Teacher
Refuses Paper on Abortion, “You Can Do Abortion if You Write FOR It”
Abigail
Cornejo is a Sophomore at Palatine High School in a small town in Illinois
who merely wanted to write a paper on the controversial topic of abortion.
But her English teacher had something else in mind and told Conejo she couldn’t
write on the topic — and if she did, she would have to write from the
pro-abortion perspective.

“My English
class is doing a controversial issue research paper,” Abigail told
LifeNews. “My English teacher, Mr. David Valentino originally told
the class we may not do abortion, euthanasia, or legalization or marijuana.
I asked why we couldn’t do infanticide, abortion and he replied with,
‘I’ve read too many papers on it. I don’t care anymore.’”

Pope Francis: “Throwaway Culture” Causes Abortions of Millions of Babies
Pope Francis told
a pro-life group in Rome, over the weekend, that a “throwaway culture”
is responsible for abortion that results in the destruction of unborn children.
The head of the Catholic
Church spoke to the Dignitatis Humanae Institute, a pro-life group based
in Rome that helps shape and formulate pro-life principles.
Lamenting the “throwaway culture” the world lives in now, Pope Francis said, “The victims of such a culture are precisely the weakest and most fragile human beings – the unborn, the poorest people, sick elderly people, gravely disabled people… who are in danger of being ‘thrown out,’ expelled from a machine that must be efficient at all costs.” http://www.lifenews.com/2013/

Family of Daughter Requiring 86 Brain Tumor Surgeries Loses Insurance
Under Obamacare
Eileen Benthal isn’t sure what to do. The health insurance coverage
she and her family had been relying on for years has been canceled thanks
to Obamacare provisions that will force her to have to find new insurance.
Unfortunately, Benthal is one of many families whose experience with Obamacare is the opposite of what President Barack Obama and Democrat lawmakers voting for it promised would happen. Story after compelling story has surfaced of the families and people who ave lost insurance under Obamacare — with as many as 5.5 million people victimized by one of the many kinds of health care rationing pro-life groups opposing Obamacare predicted. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/

“He Killed My Baby!” The Day I Lost My Daughter to the
Culture of Death
It
was two days before my seventeenth birthday, a Saturday morning, the day
after a football game in which I’d played. So I was tired and sore,
but I could smell breakfast coming from downstairs and somebody was walking
up the stairs. I was half asleep. The door opened: it was my girlfriend,
I smiled, of course—but from the look on her face I could see that
this wasn’t called for. This was a serious moment. I steeled myself.
After a few long seconds, she
looked up at me and said, “I’m pregnant.” That woke me up
quick. We sat there in my bedroom, two young teenagers. My room was still
a boy’s place, hung with football posters, sneakers, and baseball gloves
strewn across the floor. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/It

Medical Board Demands Abortion Doc Appear Who Failed to Report
Rapes of Teen Girls
The
Indiana state medical board is demanding that an abortion practitioner who
ailed to file timely reports on the abortions he did on a teen girl who were
victimized by statutory rape appear before them.
Dr. Ulrich “George” Klopfer
was one of four Indiana abortion practitioners who waited weeks of even months
to report abortions they did on girls under the age of 14, who are victims
of rape. State law requires such reports three days following the abortion
to protect girls from sexual abuse and victimization, but a recent report
by the Fort Wayne News-Sentinel newspaper makes it clear there is a massive
abuse of the system taking place as abortion clinics cover up rape to make
money from abortions. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/The

17-Year-Old
Takes Euthanasia to Task: Kill the Pain Not the Patient
I first heard the slogan “Death with Dignity” when I was 13. Even in my youth, the phrase didn’t sit well with me. And, as I researched it, I came to a solid conclusion: euthanasia was wrong. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/
