Pro-Abortion “Christian” Pastors Distribute Condoms Outside Hobby Lobby to Protest SCOTUS Decision Pro-abortion pastors from different “Christian” denominations distributed condoms outside a Hobby Lobby store to protest this week’s Supreme Court decision giving it and other companies the ability to opt out of the Obamacare HHS mandate that compels them to pay for abortion-causing drugs for their employees.
This comes after a NARAL board member suggested abortion activists have sex in Hobby Lobby stores as a protest. http://www.lifenews.com/2014/07/04/pro-abortion-christian-pastors-distribute-condoms-outside-hobby-lobby-to-protest-scotus-decision/
Christian College Wins Big Pro-Life Victory Against HHS Mandate on Heels of Hobby Lobby DecisionIn another important victory against the HHS Mandate, Wheaton College received last minute relief from the Supreme Court, protecting the College’s right to carry out its religious mission free from crippling IRS fines.
The Court’s order states that Wheaton “need not use the form prescribed by the Government” under the HHS Mandate, and it prohibits the government “from enforcing against [Wheaton] the challenged provisions of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act and related regulations pending final disposition of appellate review.http://www.lifenews.com/2014/07/04/christian-college-wins-big-pro-life-victory-against-hhs-mandate-on-heels-of-hobby-lobby-decision/
Woman Wanted to Show How Great Abortion is By Turning Her Abortion Into Artwork Late last night I came across an article recommended by Jill Stanek; an op-ed piece from the New York Times. Called, “I Couldn’t Turn My Abortion Into Art” the essay is a quick read, well written, personal and it is absolutely heartbreaking. Read it for yourself, my words here won’t do it justice.
The author is a pro-abortion woman writing about her abortion experience more than two decades ago. As a 22 year old woman, she spent most of her life fighting for the right to an abortion, and spent many years dedicating herself to what she calls “experimental feminist video.http://www.lifenews.com/2014/07/04/woman-wanted-to-show-how-great-abortion-is-by-turning-her-abortion-into-artwork/

They Discovered My Cancer Because I Was Pregnant With Him, No Way Could I Abort My Baby
Even when the pain becomes unbearable, cancer patient Ana Mendoza said one glance at her two-year-old son Nathan makes it all go away.
“He’s my miracle baby,” the North Vancouver mom told Metro from her bed at Lion’s Gate Hospital. “I tell him every day.
They Said Our Baby Would Die and to Get an Abortion, But We Enjoyed 12 Days With HimI’ve spent my professional life in the public sector as a staffer, as well as some time in government affairs. I’d be willing to bet that I’ve taken the most non-traditional path to end up here. My teens and early 20?s were quite the definition of a mis-spent youth (story for another day), but my childhood provided me a solid foundation, thanks to great parents. One of the things my parents stressed was to understand why we were pro-life. Amazing how difficult that decision can be when you’re forced to prove it. http://www.lifenews.com/2014/07/04/they-said-our-baby-would-die-and-to-get-an-abortion-but-we-enjoyed-12-days-with-him/
Hillary Clinton Loves Mother Teresa, Just Not Her Message Against AbortionIt’s probably the most highly publicized book of the summer–Hard Choices by Hillary Rodham Clinton. Curious, I decided to download a sample onto my electronic tablet.
I was surprised when Mother Teresa made an appearance within the pages of the memoir. Hillary Clinton talks about her first visit to India in 1995, accompanied by her daughter Chelsea. http://www.lifenews.com/2014/07/04/hillary-clinton-loves-mother-teresa-just-not-her-message-against-abortion/
Irony: Planned Parenthood Independence Day Tweet Celebrates “Justice for All”Planned Parenthood is the biggest abortion business in the nation. It denies justice and liberty to hundreds of thousands of unborn children each and every year — and that’s just counting the abortions it does in the United States.
In a bit of irony that obviously escaped its staffers at its New York headquarters, Planned Parenthood sent out a tweet today celebrating Independence Day, declaring “liberty and justice for all.” Clearly, they’re forgetting someone: http://www.lifenews.com/2014/07/04/irony-planned-parenthood-independence-day-tweet-celebrates-justice-for-all/

Alveda King: While We Marched in the Sixties, Planned Parenthood Was Preparing Us a Place Alveda King, the niece of civil rights activist Martin Luther King Jr., spoke at National Right to Life’s Prayer breakfast on June 27th. http://www.lifenews.com/2014/07/04/alveda-king-while-we-marched-in-the-sixties-planned-parenthood-was-preparing-us-a-place/

Legalizing Abortion Did Not Stop Women From Dying in Abortions We come to the last part of the life equation: women’s deaths from illegal abortion. I think this is a three part question. http://www.lifenews.com/2014/07/04/legalizing-abortion-did-not-stop-women-from-dying-in-abortions/
Why Do Abortion Advocates Hate it When Women Get Abortion Alternatives? Perhaps the biggest evidence that Pennsylvania’s landmark Alternatives to Abortion program is working—and working exceedingly well—is the fact that it is being targeted in the pro-abortion blogosphere. http://www.lifenews.com/2014/07/04/why-do-abortion-advocates-hate-it-when-women-get-abortion-alternatives/
This Independence Day, Celebrate the Victories for Religious Freedom at the Supreme Court For decades, pro-abortion advocacy groups have tried to soften the public perception of their agenda behind a feel-good phrase “pro-choice.http://www.lifenews.com/2014/07/04/this-independence-day-celebrate-the-victories-for-religious-freedom-at-the-supreme-court/
British Medical Association Reaffirms Opposition to Assisted Suicide The British Medical Association (BMA) reaffirmed its firm opposition to legalising assisted suicide after renewed calls for a change in the law while an editorial in the BMJ called for the Falconer Assisted Dying Bill to become law. http://www.lifenews.com/2014/07/04/british-medical-association-reaffirms-opposition-to-assisted-suicide/
Euthanasia Activists Push Assisted Suicide for Everyone, Not Just the Old or Ill The Australian ABC TV network is running a story about two men who separately suicided using Exit International’s methods. http://www.lifenews.com/2014/07/04/euthanasia-activists-push-assisted-suicide-for-everyone-not-just-the-old-or-ill/

Minnesota Governor Wants Licensing of Dog Breeders, But Not Abortion Clinics A measure to license and inspect commercial dog and cat breeders—passed by the Legislature and signed into law by Gov.
