Pro-Life Groups Launch National Boycott of Girl Scout Cookies Over Abortion Ties National pro-life groups have banded together to launch a boycott of the sales of Girl Scout cookies over the ties the organization has to the Planned Parenthood abortion business and how it has promoted pro-abortion groups and activists.
The pro-life movement has been concerned for a number of years about the ties between the Girl Scouts and the Planned Parenthood abortion business. Although the Girl Scout organization maintains that it takes “no position” on the issue of abortion, parents, churches, and pro-life activists have long complained of the pro-abortion slant of the Girl Scouts’ resources, role models, and affiliations. http://www.lifenews.com/2014/01/29/pro-life-groups-launch-national-boycott-of-girl-scout-cookies-over-abortion-ties/
Obama Would Veto Bill to Completely Ban Taxpayer Funding of AbortionsThe House of Representatives yesterday 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 White House says President Obama would veto it.
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/2014/01/29/obama-would-veto-bill-to-completely-ban-taxpayer-funding-of-abortions/
Cathy McMorris Rodgers Gives Pro-Life SOTU Response: Children Are a Gift From GodWhile President Barack Obama defended Obamacare, which has taxpayer-funding of abortion and has rationed health care already by canceling Americans’ health care plans, Congresswoman Cathy McMorris Rodgers gave a compassionate pro-life response.
Rodgers, representing the State of Washington, is another high-profile mother in the political realm, who also chose to give life to her son with Down Syndrome. Cole was born in the spring of 2007. She talked about him when she said that children are a gift from God. http://www.lifenews.com/2014/01/28/cathy-mcmorris-rodgers-gives-pro-life-sotu-response-children-are-a-gift-from-god/

Nurse Sees Baby Survive Failed Abortion, Left to Die at Hospital
“There are other people who are haunted by abortion, too. Nurses and doctors.”
No sooner had the woman in the crowd after a recent event quietly spoken these words to me, when the tears began to fall down her face. Without even saying another word, I knew that she was speaking from personal experience. http://www.lifenews.com/2014/01/29/nurse-sees-baby-survive-failed-abortion-left-to-die-at-hospital/

Supreme Court Briefs Favor Hobby Lobby 3-1 Over Obama Administration Groups on both side of the debate over the HHS mandate, which forces religious groups and businesses to pay for birth control and abortion drugs, filed dozens of briefs for or against Hobby Lobby in its case against the Obama administration. As Hobby Lobby’s attorneys inform LifeNews, those briefs favored Hobby Lobby almost 3-1.
hobbylobbybWhen the clock struck midnight, 81 briefs flooded in the U.S. Supreme Court, 56 supporting Hobby Lobby and outnumbering the Government’s position almost 3-1. http://www.lifenews.com/2014/01/29/supreme-court-briefs-favor-hobby-lobby-3-1-over-obama-administration/
MSNBC Host Attacks Pro-Lifer Cathy McMorris Rogers: “Where’s the Needlepoint?”On Tuesday night, Alex Wagner gave the latest example of “if it weren’t for double standards, liberals would have no standards at all” (a regular saying of conservative talk show host Chris Plante). msnbc6The MSNBC host took to Twitter to slam Rep. Cathy McMorris Rodgers’s fireside setting, where she delivered the official Republican response to President Obama’s State of the Union: “Living room. Lady on a settee. Where’s the needlepoint?”
Conservatives struck back at this condescending attack from one of MSNBC’s resident uber-feminists. Townhall.com’s Kevin W. Glass pointed out what would have happened if the roles were reversed. http://www.lifenews.com/2014/01/29/msnbc-host-attacks-pro-lifer-cathy-mcmorris-rogers-wheres-the-needlepoint/
Mother to Give Birth to Her Own Granddaughter Next MonthIn early February, a 58-year-old woman is due to give birth. Her age is not the only factor that makes the birth unusual, however. The baby she is carrying is her grandchild.
Julia Navarro’s daughter, Lorena McKinnon, has had roughly twelve miscarriages since she and her husband began trying to get pregnant about three years ago. Realizing that carrying their children to term did not appear to be a viable possibility, they sought a gestational surrogate. http://www.lifenews.com/2014/01/29/mother-to-give-birth-to-her-own-granddaughter-next-month/
