Hobby Lobby to Supreme Court: Protect Us From $1.3M in Fines a Day Over Obamacare Hobby Lobby, the family-owned arts and crafts business that has been the most high-profile plaintiff against Obamacare, asked the U.S. Supreme Court today to protect it from being forced to violate their deeply held religious beliefs or be forced to pay severe fines.
The brief filed today at the Supreme Court is in preparation for oral arguments on March 25, 2014 before the nation’s highest court. http://www.lifenews.com/2014/02/10/hobby-lobby-to-supreme-court-protect-us-from-1-3m-in-fines-a-day-over-obamacare/

Planned Parenthood: Women Want Abortions for Valentine’s DayA box of chocolates? No. A nice date to a fancy restaurant? No. Flowers? No. How about a massage, doing the dishes or taking the kids for the day? Nope, not that either.
If you’re a husband or boyfriend looking for what to get for or do for your special someone for Valentine’s Day, Planned Parenthood has the answer: abortion.

Missing 6-Day-Old Baby Miraculously Found in Bag Outside Gas StationTIn the Justice section of CNN is a short but amazing video report on a rescue mission with a miraculous ending.
Kayden is a name that means “spirited” or “fighter.” That’s a good word to describe 6-day-old baby Kayden Powell from Wisconsin. Kayden caused a panic in his family after he went missing last week. On February 7, Kayden’s 18-year-old mom Brianna Marshall called 911 when she woke up around 4:30am and noticed that her baby was missing from his bassinet. http://www.lifenews.com/2014/02/10/missing-6-day-old-baby-miraculously-found-in-bag-outside-gas-station/

Planned Parenthood Gets Away With Killing a Woman in an Abortion
Tonya Reaves was 24 and the mother of a one-year-old son when she walked into a Chicago Planned Parenthood clinic in July of 2012 and asked for a second trimester abortion. She never walked out. Reaves died from complications to her abortion, leaving unanswered questions about circumstances that led to her death.
Soon after, Reaves’ family filed a wrongful death suit on behalf of her surviving son, Alvin. On January 22, 2014, the family petitioned to settle the suit with Planned Parenthood for $2 million. http://www.lifenews.com/2014/02/10/planned-parenthood-gets-away-with-killing-a-woman-in-an-abortion/


Hospital Forced to Deny Treatment for Kids With Severe Medical Conditions Sues Obamacare Thanks to Obamacare, the quality of many Americans’ current healthcare is gradually declining. A story that made national news described how children “are being denied specialty treatment by insurance providers on the Washington Health Benefits Network.”
Administrators at Seattle Children’s Hospital said in January they predicted this would happen, and it’s even worse than they expected. Patients being denied specialty treatment at the hospital by insurance providers on the Washington health benefits exchange. http://www.lifenews.com/2014/02/10/hospital-forced-to-deny-treatment-for-kids-with-severe-medical-conditions-sues-obamacare/
Parents Fight to Save Unborn Baby With Two Faces After Doctors Suggest AbortionAn Australian couple is fighting to save their unborn child, who has two faces and two brains, after doctors told them they should consider having an abortion.
Renee Young and Simon Howie of Sydney said that a routine ultrasound found problems with their baby’s development and that the twins they were expecting were actually one baby with a rare medical condition. The child has a condition known as diprosopus, or craniofacial duplication, a condition whereby parts or all of the face are duplicated on the head. It is so rare, according to a report on the couple and their baby, that just 35 cases have been recorded in humans and no one is alive today who has it. http://www.lifenews.com/2014/02/10/parents-fight-to-save-unborn-baby-with-two-faces-after-doctors-suggest-abortion/

Paralyzed Man Miraculously Walks Again After 4-Year-Old Boy’s Prayerful PredictionJoel Haler is an inspiration to anyone who is disabled or struggling with paralysis. The journey for people dealing with disabilities like Haler’s, which prevented him from walking, is often difficult and marred with struggles to live in a world that isn’t too quick to adjust itself to the needs of those people who are not able-bodied.
Haler, a 20-year-old, heard a pop in his back when he was working out and the pop eventually left him paralyzed from the waist down. In a world that pushes disabled people into assisted suicide and euthanasia, Haler’s faith and the medical miracle that occurred should provide hope and inspiration to many. http://www.lifenews.com/2014/02/10/paralyzed-man-miraculously-walks-again-after-4-year-old-boys-prayerful-prediction/
Belgium Parliament Likely to Allow Doctors to Euthanize Children This Week I have previously documented Belgium’s meteoric rise to become the euthanasia capital of Europe and its concomitant grisly descent down the slippery slope. http://www.lifenews.com/2014/02/10/belgium-parliament-likely-to-allow-doctors-to-euthanize-children-this-week/
After a Horribly Painful Abortion, The Doc Gave Her an Ultrasound Photo I’m guessing that virtually all of you, like me, have never heard of tomorrow the mag. As best I can tell it’ll probably be a one-shot in the cyberspace dark, the kind produced by the self-absorbed, the self-important, and the self-righteously alienated.. http://www.lifenews.com/2014/02/10/after-a-horribly-painful-abortion-the-doc-gave-her-an-ultrasound-photo/
Girl Scouts Alternative American Heritage Girls Announces New Respect Life Patch American Heritage Girls, an international faith-based character-development program for girls ages five through 18, has created a new Respect Life Patch that reinforces the organization’s commitment to honoring life from conception to natural death. http://www.lifenews.com/2014/02/10/girl-scouts-alternative-american-heritage-girls-announces-new-respect-life-patch/

Virginia Democrats Don’t Want Women to Ultrasound Before Abortion After their sweep of Virginia’s statewide race in November, Democratic politicians have wasted no time in trying to push forward an abortion agenda in the Old Dominion. http://www.lifenews.com/2014/02/10/virginia-democrats-dont-want-women-to-ultrasound-before-abortion/
