DEACON FOR LIFE

Were there to be no support in the whole history of ethical and moral thought, were there no acknowledged confirmation from medical science, were the history of legal opinion to the contrary, we would still have to conclude on the basis of God's Holy Word that the unborn child is a person in the sight of God. He is protected by the sanctity of life graciously given to each individual by the Creator, Who alone places His image upon man and grants them any right to life which they have.

Shocking Obama Voting=Sex Ad Copies One From Vladimir Putin
The shocking ad from the Obama campaign that compares voting to sex and first-time voting to losing one s virginity is a copycat of an ad released during a Russian election campaign by Vladimir Putin. The Putin ad was also intended to appeal to younger voters based on sexual themes.

In the Obama campaign ad, left-wing actress Lena Dunham says, Your first time shouldn t be with just anybody. You want to do it with a great guy. Later, the view learns she is talking about voting and not sex. http://www.lifenews.com/2012/10/26/shocking-obama-votingsex-ad-copies-one-from-vladimir-putin/

Pro-Lifers React to Obama Sex Ad: Practice Obama Abstinence
The pro-life community has reacted swiftly to the controversial Obama ad that likens voting to sex and first-time voting to losing your virginity.

A group of pro-lifers called Pro Life Artists Unite created a new image that encourages people to practice Obama Abstinence by not voting for the president for re-election. The counter-image features left-wing actress Lena Dunham, and the message Don t lose your job because of an unwanted Presidency. http://www.lifenews.com/2012/10/26/pro-lifers-react-to-obama-sex-ad-practice-obama-abstinence/

Newspaper Confirms Obama Lied on Planned Parenthood, Mammograms
The Washington Post has confirmed President Barack Obama lied about the Planned Parenthood abortion business doing mammograms during comments the other night on the Jay Leno show.

Obama appeared on The Tonight Show Wednesday and suggested that Mitt Romney s pledge to cut Planned Parenthood funding would deny women mammograms at Planned Parenthood.

Obama Voting is Sex Ad Shows Desperation, Won t Attract Women
Desperate times apparently call for desperate ads. That s the only way to explain the President s sorry excuse for a get-out-the-vote video which has all the class of a rest stop bathroom stall.

With help from Lena Dunham, star of HBO s sleazy Girls, the ad compares voting for Obama with losing your virginity. It s low brow even for this White House, which seems to think using expletives to describe your opponent is conduct becoming a U.S. President. http://www.lifenews.com/2012/10/26/obama-voting-is-sex-ad-shows-desperation-wont-attract-women/

Archbishop: Catholics Can t Vote for Pro-Abortion Candidates
I do not see how a Catholic could, in conscience, vote for an individual expressing him or herself as favoring abortion. (John Cardinal O Connor)

Performing an abortion is intrinsically evil. Legislators, executives and judges supporting or maintaining the legalization or funding of abortions, and individuals voting for a referendum that legalizes or funds abortion cooperate in an intrinsic evil. http://www.lifenews.com/2012/10/26/archbishop-catholics-cant-vote-for-pro-abortion-candidates/

Babies are Crying Out, Will You Vote to Defeat Obama?
Maybe they re getting tired and stressed as they ve fallen further behind Mitt Romney in national polls, but verbal blunders continue to haunt the president and vice president. And some of them are getting nasty.

Barack Obama, interviewed in Rolling Stone magazine, rudely and falsely paraphrased a six year-old girl as having said a vulgar word one more appropriate to a locker room or back alley than a public utterance of a president. http://www.lifenews.com/2012/10/26/babies-are-crying-out-will-you-vote-to-defeat-obama/

Three Abortion Workers Quit During 40 Days for Life Campaign
When a 40 Days for Life vigil is just getting started, abortion workers first consider you a religious zealot, then a radical. As time goes on, you re seen as someone who simply has nothing better to do with your time.

But toward the end of the campaign, you become a question for them. The stereotypes wear off and the abortion center staffers see you as a human being and they ask themselves the question, What good do I really do here? http://www.lifenews.com/2012/10/26/three-abortion-workers-quit-during-40-days-for-life-campaign/

Bible Publisher Takes on Obama HHS Mandate on Monday
A leading Bible publisher will take on the Obama HHS mandate on Monday in court. Tyndale House Publishers, which publishes Bibles and other Christian books and multimedia, filed a federal lawsuit earlier this month against it. http://www.lifenews.com/2012/10/26/bible-publisher-takes-on-obama-hhs-mandate-on-monday/

Court: Texas Has the Right to De-Fund Planned Parenthood

Whistleblower Cases Show Planned Parenthood Engages in Massive Fraud
Planned Parenthood insists it is a necessary and trusted healthcare provider that must be supported by taxpayer dollars. http://www.lifenews.com/2012/10/26/whistleblower-cases-show-planned-parenthood-engages-in-massive-fraud/

As Someone Conceived in Rape, I Think Richard Mourdock is Right
The Democrat party has staked its position on abortion, firmly planting its feed in blood-soaked soil. Common ground is not, nor has ever really been, a genuine goal of the party. http://www.lifenews.com/2012/10/26/as-someone-conceived-in-rape-i-support-richard-mourdock/

Pro-Life Congressman Calls Pro-Lifers A Bunch of Extremists

Does Abortion Really Reduce Crime? Another Look at Freakonomics
