Prediction: Romney to Win Presidential Election 285-253
LifeNews is projecting that pro-life Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney will win tomorrow s presidential election and defeat President Barack Obama 285-253 in the Electoral College vote.

Predicting the winner of the presidential election is usually not terribly difficult, but predicting the exact Electoral College breakdown is an unscientific art. That is especially complicated by polling data this year that doesn t reflect the attitude of Americans heading into Election Day. http://www.lifenews.com/2012/11/05/prediction-romney-to-win-presidential-election-285-253/

Video: Daughters Say Mommy Vote for Obama to Protect Abortion
A new video making the rounds online with liberals has daughters, some of whom are clearly too young to engage in consensual sex, urging voters to support President Obama to protect legalized abortion.

After 55 Million Abortions We Must Defeat Barack Obama
I wish we didn t have to write this message. When we started writing this series, originally called 54 Reasons to Defeat Barack Obama, it was to commemorate the 54 million unborn babies who had lost their lives to the abortion policies Barack Obama supports. At the time, about 54½ million abortions had occurred in the U.S. since the Roe v. Wade decision legalized abortion in 1973.

I am sorry to report that in the meantime, the number of abortions in the United States has now gone over 55 million. Another huge reason to defeat Barack Obama. http://www.lifenews.com/2012/11/05/after-55-million-abortions-we-must-defeat-barack-obama/
