House Committee Passes Bill to Completely Ban Taxpayer Funding of Abortions
The House Judiciary Committee today approved legislation that will put
in place a complete ban on taxpayer funding of abortions that ensures
abortions are not directly funded in any federal governmental program or
department.
The legislation combines several policies that must be enacted every year in Congressional battles and puts them into law where they will not be in jeopardy of being overturned every time Congress changes hands from pro-life lawmakers to those who support abortions. http://www.lifenews.com/2014/
Irony: Kagan Compares Abortion Clinics to Slaughterhouses at Supreme Court
Do
pro-life Americans have free speech rights – the right to quietly talk
to willing passerby’s on the street corner – or are the public sidewalks
surrounding abortion clinics somehow speech free zones impervious to
the protections of the First Amendment?
That is the precise question considered by the Supreme Court today in McCullen v. Coakley. http://www.lifenews.com/2014/

Parents Reject Abortion When Told Their Baby Would Have No Arms or Legs
So often we read stories of couples that when given a pessimistic (or worse) prenatal diagnosis,
chose to abort their child. The following is an example of an Illinois couple who took the road less traveled.

Supreme Court to Decide if Pro-Life People Have Free Speech at Abortion Clinics
The
Supreme Court today is hearing a case regarding a buffer zone outside
abortion clinics in the state of Massachusetts. At issue is whether the
state has the right to squelch pro-life free speech and prevent pro-life
advocates from protesting or offering women information about abortion
alternatives.

state has the right to squelch pro-life free speech and prevent pro-life
advocates from protesting or offering women information about abortion
alternatives.
Today’s
oral arguments concerns the constitutionality of a Massachusetts law
that creates a 35-foot “buffer zone” restricting pro-life advocates from
speaking with people entering abortion facilities. http://www.lifenews.com/2014/
Woman Strangles Newborn Son and Watched Him Die, Tosses Him in Trash
In a brutal act of infanticide, a Texas woman strangled her newborn son to death and threw him in the trash.
Nidia Alvarado, 25, has been arrested on charges of murder and she told local police she “strangled the baby and watched him die,” according to a news report. Official say the body of the less than one-week-old infant boy was found stuffed in a duffel bag on the intake conveyor belt of a recycling center in San Antonio, Texas just a couple days before Christmas. http://www.lifenews.com/2014/

Abortionist Under Criminal Investigation for for Not Reporting Child Rape
Abortionist
Ulrich Klopfer’s legal problems have just gotten worse. After
volunteers with Indiana Right to Life filed 1,200 complaints against him
for not reporting child sex abuse and other information required by the
State, St. Joseph County Prosecutor Mike Dvorak has asked the Special
Victim’s Unit to conduct a criminal investigation into the abortionist’s
activities.
In addition to the
massive number of failure-to-report accusations, it now appears that
there is no record that Klopfer has the required admitting privileges to
a local hospital or an agreement with a doctor who does at his Gary,
Indiana, abortion clinic. http://www.lifenews.com/2014/Abortionist

Wendy Davis Campaign Mocks Pro-Lifer Greg Abbott for Being Paralyzed
Wendy
Davis is the pro-abortion candidate for governor in Texas whose sole
claim to fame is having filibustered against a bill to ban late-term
abortions. Not content to speak out against protecting unborn babies
after viability, the Davis campaign is now mocking her pro-life
opponent, Greg Abbott, for being paralyzed.
At age 26, Abbott was
struck by a falling oak tree that injured his back as he jogged by. He
has used a wheelchair ever since and has become an eloquent pro-life
advocate — speaking up for both the disabled and the unborn. http://www.lifenews.com/2014/Wendy

A study across the Texas Panhandle, using government statistics from 16

from 1994 through 2010 showed dramatic declines even as Planned
Parenthood Federation of America facilities in the region shut
down—dwindling from 19 family planning facilities to zero. http://www.lifenews.com/2014/
Swiss Suicide Clinics Kill Four People Every Week, 1700 People Dead Since 1998

Planned Parenthood Denies Lawmakers’ Request to See Its Graphic Sex Ed Curriculum
As Planned Parenthood’s noxious sex education rockets across the
country at unprecedented rates—propelled by millions of dollars in
Obamacare PREP grants—those who bear great responsibility for the
oversight of children’s education are being denied the opportunity to
know what their children will be taught in these taxpayer-funded
programs. http://www.lifenews.com/2014/
