NAACP Threatens LifeNews for Reporting Its Abortion Advocacy For many years, LifeNews.com has brought national attention to the fact that the NAACP takes a strongly pro-abortion position, has worked hand in hand with pro-abortion groups and have actively opposed pro-life legislation.
In February, the NAACP threatened to sue LifeNews.com and Ryan Bomberger, a LifeNews blogger , for a column that took the civil rights organization to task over its abortion position. The NAACP is upset about a column Bomberger wrote at LifeNews titled, “NAACP: National Association for the Abortion of Colored People,” which notes the organization’s 44th Annual Image Awards. http://www.lifenews.com/2014/06/13/naacp-threatens-to-sue-lifenews-for-reporting-its-abortion-advocacy/
Planned Parenthood: We Lied About Not Firing Firing Staffer Who Told 15-Year-Old to Engage in S&M SexThe Planned Parenthood abortion business is having a hard time keeping its story straight after it was exposed over a staffer who told a 15-year-old in an undercover video that she should engage in sadomasochistic sexual relations.
As LifeNews reported, the abortion giant initially told Indianapolis media that it fired the staffer in question. Then, in a follow-up undercover phone call to the abortion center where the staffer was employed, Planned Parenthood officials set up an appointment with investigators to meet with the staffer, making it appear the staffer was still employed. http://www.lifenews.com/2014/06/13/planned-parenthood-we-lied-about-not-firing-firing-staffer-who-told-15-year-old-to-engage-in-sm-sex/
Good News for Justina Pelletier: She May Finally Get to Go Home In a dramatic reversal, the Massachusetts’ Department of Children and Families (DCF) has filed a motion with the courts agreeing with our petition to have Justina Pelletier returned home to her family.
The motion for review of reconsideration and dismissal in the case of Justina Pelletier follows Liberty Counsel’s motion to return Justina home which was filed less than two weeks ago. The motion indicates that DCF is in agreement with returning custody of Justina to her parents! http://www.lifenews.com/2014/06/13/good-news-for-justina-pelletier-she-may-finally-get-to-go-home/

Congressman: Enough is Enough, Time to De-Fund Planned Parenthood
The expose’ catching the Planned Parenthood abortion business telling a teenager to have S&M sex is another reason to yank its taxpayer funding. That’s the word from Kansas Republican Congressman Tim Huelskamp, who released a letter to his fellow members of Congress.
Planned parenthood receives hundreds of millions of dollars in taxpayer funding. http://www.lifenews.com/2014/06/13/congressman-enough-is-enough-time-to-de-fund-planned-parenthood/
Twins Born More Than Three Weeks Apart in Rare Delayed DeliveryNormally twin newborns are born minutes or, at most, hours apart. But in this rare case, Alexandre is more than three weeks older than his brother Ronaldo.
So what happened to cause it so one twin had to be purposefully delayed in his birth compared to his brother?

Family to Lose Health Care Plan, Must Pay for Abortions Under ObamacareAlliance Defending Freedom attorneys representing a Connecticut pro-life family filed a motion for preliminary injunction in federal court Thursday seeking to prevent Obamacare abortion surcharges and fines from being enforced against the family.
In May, the family filed a lawsuit against the Obama administration because their current health plan will be cancelled in November, forcing them into the state’s health insurance exchange where every plan requires them to directly pay for other people’s abortions. If the Bracys do not comply, they will be subject to crippling fines.http://www.lifenews.com/2014/06/13/family-to-lose-health-care-plan-must-pay-for-abortions-under-obamacare/
Jahi McMath’s Middle School Grants Her an Honorary DiplomaA nice ending…Earlier this week, NRL News Today posted about the request of the family of Jahi McMath, the 13-year-old Oakland girl declared brain-dead in December, that she receive a diploma.
JahiMcMath14The Oakland Tribune reported that following a meeting Wednesday between E.C. Reems Academy of Technology and Arts administrators and lawyers for Jahi’s family, the teenager will receive a honorary diploma at her school’s eighth grade graduation today. http://www.lifenews.com/2014/06/13/jahi-mcmaths-middle-school-grants-her-an-honorary-diploma/

Abortion Doctor Admits What He Does is “Terminating Babies” In the late 1990s, I was reading a book called M.D.: Doctors Talk about Themselves by John Pekkanen when I stumbled across the testimony of an unnamed abortionist. http://www.lifenews.com/2014/06/13/abortion-doctor-admits-what-he-does-is-terminating-babies/

Planned Parenthood Stops Selling Dangerous Abortion Drug at Iowa Clinic Another Planned parenthood abortion clinic in Iowa is no longer selling the dangerous abrotion drug. http://www.lifenews.com/2014/06/13/planned-parenthood-stops-selling-dangerous-abortion-drug-at-iowa-clinic/

Court Cited Roe v. Wade to Force Pregnant Mother to Have a C-Section One argument in favor of Roe v. Wade, and for the general argument that bodily autonomy trumps the right to life, is that pro-life logic would dictate in favor of forced cesarean sections. http://www.lifenews.com/2014/06/13/court-cited-roe-v-wade-to-force-pregnant-mother-to-have-a-c-section/
Florida Governor Rick Scott Signs Bill to Ban Late-Term Abortions Florida Governor Rick Scott signed legislation on Friday banning late term abortions. http://www.lifenews.com/2014/06/13/florida-governor-rick-scott-signs-bill-to-ban-late-term-abortions/
