Senators Urge Obama Admin to Help 8-Month-Pregnant Woman Sentenced to Death for Rejecting Islam TMembers of the U.S. Senate are pleading with the Obama administration to help Meriam Ibrahim, who is 8-months pregnant and is a Christian woman sentenced to hang to death in Sudan for rejecting Islam. She is being shackled by Sudanese officials despite the fact she is eight-months pregnant.
She will be tortured – beaten with 100 lashes for marrying an American Christian. Then she will be hung for being a Christian. Meanwhile, her son, a 20-month-old boy and American citizen, is also jailed with her and is sick from the prison conditions. http://www.lifenews.com/2014/05/21/senators-urge-obama-admin-to-help-8-month-pregnant-woman-sentenced-to-death-for-rejecting-islam/
Louisiana Passes Bill That Could Close Three of Its Five Abortion ClinicsThe Louisiana state legislature today put the finishing touches on HB 388, the Unsafe Abortion Protection Act, that the Planned Parenthood abortion business says could close three of the five abortion clinics in the state.
When the state of Texas clamped down on abortion clinics that could not follow basic health and safety standards and failed to ensure abortion practitioners had admitting privileges at local hospitals in cases where women are injured in botched abortions, abortion clinics closed down because they couldn’t comply. As many as 20 Texas abortion clinics have closed or stopping doing abortions. Louisiana is following suit. http://www.lifenews.com/2014/05/21/louisiana-passes-bill-that-could-close-three-of-its-five-abortion-clinics/

Judge: Obama Admin Can’t Force Christian Colleges to Obey HHS Mandate
A federal court issued an order Wednesday that halts enforcement of the Obama administration’s HHS mandate against two Christian colleges: Dordt College in Iowa and Cornerstone University in Michigan.

ADF attorneys represent the colleges in a lawsuit challenging the administration’s mandate that forces employers, regardless of their religious or moral convictions and under threat of heavy penalties, to provide insurance coverage for pills and procedures that many Christians oppose. http://www.lifenews.com/2014/05/21/judge-obama-admin-cant-force-christian-colleges-to-obey-hhs-mandate/
Judge: Planned Parenthood Abortion Biz Must Answer for Massive Medicaid Fraud SchemeIA judge has ruled that a Planned Parenthood abortion business must answer for allegations that it participated in a massive Medicaid fraud scheme. The claim involve blood tests that were performed on Texas teenagers by a Texas-based affiliate of the abortion giant.
According to a report: Patricia Carroll brought the complaint in late 2012 after serving as the accounts receivable manager for Houston-based Planned Parenthood Gulf Coast Inc. for five years. In March of that year, she had allegedly noticed that a Planned Parenthood clinic in Huntsville experienced a revenue increase of more than 300 percent. http://www.lifenews.com/2014/05/21/judge-planned-parenthood-abortion-biz-must-answer-for-massive-medicaid-fraud-scheme/
Justina Pelletier Turns 16 on Saturday and Her Parents Still Don’t Have CustodyOn Saturday, Justina Pelletier turns 16 years old. I wonder what special plans the Massachusetts’ Department of Children and Families (DCF) have for Justina on her special day, her “sweet sixteen”, a day that comes along just once in a young woman’s life.
As a court-ordered ward of the state, Justina is being “parented” and “cared for” by the DCF. http://www.lifenews.com/2014/05/21/justina-pelletier-turns-16-on-saturday-and-her-parents-still-dont-have-custody/
