House Passes Bill to Completely Ban Taxpayer Funding of Abortions
The House 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. The House voted 227-188 for the bill with 221 Republicans and 6 Democrats voting to ban taxpayer funding of abortions under HR7 while 187 Democrats and one Republican voted against it. http://www.lifenews.com/2014/

Tax-Funded Ban Holds Obama Accountable for Funding Abortions in Obamacare
Mr. Speaker, the President of the United States stood just 10 feet from where I stand in September 2009 and told a
joint session of Congress that “under our plan, no federal dollars will be used to fund abortion.”

On
March 24, 2010, President Obama issued an executive order that said the
Affordable Care Act “maintains current Hyde Amendment restrictions
governing abortion policy and extends those restrictions to newly
created health insurance exchanges.” http://www.lifenews.com/2014/

Woman Hemorrhaged Half Her Blood After Botched RU 486 Abortion
Operation
Rescue has obtained a 911 recording of a medical emergency at Family
Planning Associates (FPA) abortion clinic in Downey, California, that
indicated an abortion patient had suffered massive hemorrhage. The
incident took place two days before Christmas.
The
FPA employee who placed the call initially indicated that they simply
needed to transfer a patient to the hospital. When the dispatcher
questioned further, the abortion clinic employee responded, “It’s a
patient who’s no longer bleeding, but her hematocrit’s off to 19. So we
want to transfer her for a – to Downy Regional to get a transfusion.” http://www.lifenews.com/2014/

Erick Munoz is Not a Monster, But Baby Munoz Had a Right to Live
On
Sunday, as you probably heard, Marlise Munoz was removed from life
support under court order. This eliminated any chance that unborn baby
Nicole, a few weeks short of viability, might survive to birth.
Secular Pro-Life
issued a brief statement mourning the loss and stating our disagreement
with the court’s decision. A long comment thread ensued. Pro-choice
facebook followers expressed the view that Secular Pro-Life’s position
is anti-woman (e.g. wanting Marlise to be an “incubator”); that the
logic behind keeping Marlise on life support would also justify grave
robbing; that the right to die supercedes the right to life; and that
the fact that Marlise did not address the possibility of pregnancy in
discussing her end-of-life wishes is irrelevant because, as one
commenter put it, ”she was still a person, whether she was pregnant or
not.” http://www.lifenews.com/2014/On

Abortionist Hid Ultrasound From Patient, But Her Friend Saw It And Was Haunted Forever
On
January 9, Slate came out with an article about a study that was
published in Obstetrics & Gynecology which addressed the question of
whether or not women who viewed ultrasounds at abortion clinics were
less likely to go through with the procedure. The study claimed that the
vast majority (over 95%) of women who elected to see the sonogram (they
had a choice whether or not to see it) chose to have abortions anyway.
