Obama Pushes Pro-Abortion Nominee Nina Pillard for Second Most Powerful Court
President Barack Obama is pushing the nomination of Nina Pillard to the second most powerful court in the nation, the U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit. Pillard is an abortion backer whose nomination will likely face opposition from conservative Republicans in the Senate.
Pillard was nominated this summer to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit and the Senate Judiciary Committee held a hearing to question Pillard on the many controversial positions she holds on matters of constitutional interpretation. One believe she holds is that there is supposedly a right to an abortion in the Constitution. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/09/11/obama-pushes-pro-abortion-nominee-nina-pillard-for-second-most-powerful-court/
Man Who Shot Up Pro-Life Office “Wanted to Kill Conservative, Right-Wing Christians”
The defense attorney for Floyd Lee Corkins, who shot up the offices of the Family Research Council, on August 15, 2012, says he wanted to kill “conservative right-wing Christians.”
Corkins entered the lobby armed with a loaded semi-automatic pistol, 100 rounds of ammunition, and 15 Chick-fil-A sandwiches. He started firing at FRC’s building manager Leo Johnson who heroically tackled the shooter after a gunshot shattered his arm. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/09/11/man-who-shot-up-pro-life-office-wanted-to-kill-conservative-right-wing-christians/
Obama Wants to Protect Children From Chemical Weapons, But Not From Abortion
I have a piece on Obama’s speech last night. The magic word was “children.” We’ve got to do this for the children! “Children” was the magic word in Obama’s speech, and about 9:30 last night I was made aware of a post at LifeNews.com. This is going to offend some of you. President Obama was talking about chemical weapons being used on the children, how that just is unacceptable.
It’s okay if conventional weapons, apparently, are used on children, ’cause they are being used on the children now. Bashar’s back to using conventional bombs and bullets and everything else, but it’s okay because he’s not using the evil chemical weapons. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/09/11/obama-wants-to-protect-children-from-chemical-weapons-but-not-from-abortion/
Planned Parenthood Strategy Responsible for India’s Sex-Selection Abortions
The promotion of sex-selection abortion as a population control strategy, crafted in the United States by Planned Parenthood, the Population Council and others and then exported worldwide, has resulted millions of missing girls in India, China and elsewhere, a congressional human rights panel was told at a Sept. 10 hearing.
Congressional testimony by Mara Hvistendahl, a correspondent and contributing editor with Science Magazine, pointed out that “Sex-selective abortion following ultrasound scans is by far the most common means of sex-selection worldwide.” http://www.lifenews.com/2013/09/11/planned-parenthood-abortion-activists-responsible-for-indias-sex-selection-abortions/
Finally... moral, pro-life fiction that opens hearts and minds! “This is what I was hoping would begin to spring from the Indie World. No way would NYC Corporate Publishing ever allow something with this worldview through.” - a reader.

Pope’s Blessing of Mom Who Rejected Abortion a Model for the Pro-Life Movement
The story was stunning, but maybe it shouldn’t have been. Pope Francis, head of the church most known for its unwavering pro-life stance, proved that the issue of abortion is a responsibility for us all. Perhaps you have already read how this man, who surely has a full enough schedule called Ann Romano, the woman who had an affair and is pregnant out of wedlock—and exhibited the spiritual fatherhood he represents. One story’s headline called him “A Pope Who Knows How to Pope.”
The conversation has been widely reported: http://www.lifenews.com/2013/09/11/popes-blessing-of-mom-who-rejected-abortion-a-model-for-the-pro-life-movement/
Pro-Lifers Are 26-6 in Legal Challenges to the Obama HHS Mandate
Freedom of conscience has triumphed yet again in the ongoing battle against the Obama Administration’s coercive HHS Mandate—the requirement that forces nearly all employers to provide insurance coverage for life-ending drugs and devices, regardless of the employers’ consciences or religious beliefs.
Today’s victory comes in Armstrong v. Sebelius, a case initially filed in federal district court by the Armstrong family and their private Colorado business, Cherry Creek Mortgage Co. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/09/11/pro-lifers-are-26-6-in-legal-challenges-to-the-obama-hhs-mandate/
Seven Moms Who Rejected Abortion, Chose Life in Risky Birth Situations
The pro-life movement has actively engaged in promoting pro-life lists at the popular Buzzfeed social media web site. Joining the National Right to Life Committee in bringing the pro-life message to its community forum today is Live Action.

Man Who Threatened to “Cut the Baby Out” of His Girlfriend’s Stomach Faces Charges

Say No to Death Panels Denying Patients Life-Sustaining Medical Treatment
JAMA has editorialized concerning Futile Care Theory, aka medical futility. The idea is that when a doctor or bioethics committee believes that wanted life-sustaining treatment isn’t worth the suffering or cost, they should be able to veto a family or patient’s decision to stay alive and limit treatment to comfort care. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/09/11/say-no-to-death-panels-denying-patients-life-sustaining-medical-treatment/
