HEADLINES Contraception mandate=Population control Townhall.com The debate over the new Health and Human Services regulations, which require all employers to pay 100% of the cost of contraception including abortion-inducing chemicals, has been rightly cast as an intrusion on religious liberty. . . . But black Americans in particular would be wise to pay close attention, since the age old contraception battle has special historical significance to them. For over a century, "reproductive services" have been special code words for the constant, silent effort of the powerful to control black breeding. And this control has often come in the form of a "helping hand."    A message to Planned Parenthood supporters from President Obama YouTube.com "For you and for most Americans, protecting women's health is a mission that stands above politics," President Obama says in a video message to the Planned Parenthood Action Fund. "And yet over the past year we've had to stand up to politicians who wanted to deny millions of women the care they rely on and inject themselves into the decisions that are best made between a woman and her doctor."    The children that only a mother can kill LifeNews.com Not so long ago, people would exclaim in jest that certain children were ones that "only a mother could love." Today, many of those same children - and, in fact, all children - are lives that "only a mother could kill." If you think I'm joking, let's examine a federal law together. It's called the federal "Unborn Victims of Violence Act," also known as "Laci and Connor's Law." This law - unbeknownst to many - equates an unborn child in the womb with other human beings. It allows the same penalty that would have befallen an attacker had he killed the mother to befall him if he kills her unborn baby. In simpler words, if federal law allows you to be imprisoned for life for the second-degree murder of a woman, if you kill her unborn child, you can receive the same penalty.
