Obamacare Will “Railroad” Americans Into Paying for Abortions on October 1
During an private event for pro-life leaders on the deadly impact of Obamacare, the head of a national pro-life group said Americans will be forced to pay for abortions starting on October 1.
“The anti-life policies of Obamacare intertwined throughout healthcare at the personal, business, state and federal levels make it nearly impossible for an increasingly pro-life American public to avoid paying for life-ending events,” Americans United for Life president Charmaine Yoest said during the event. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/09/17/obamacare-will-railroad-americans-into-paying-for-abortions-on-october-1/
Vice President Joe Biden’s Son Backing Pro-Abortion “Men for Choice” Event
Vice President Joe Biden’s son is one of the luminaries who have lent their name to a pro-abortion event NARAL is sponsoring designed to get more men to promote abortion.
NARAL is hosting the first annual [sic] “Men for Choice” gathering at a D.C. restaurant. Hunter Biden, the vice president’s second son and a partner at the Rosemont Seneca Partners law firm, lent his name to the event, according to NARAL’s promotional flier. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/09/17/vice-president-joe-bidens-son-backing-pro-abortion-men-for-choice-event/
My Daughter Died From the Abortion Drug 10 Years Ago Today
The U.S. Supreme Court recently accepted a case Cline v. Oklahoma Coalition for Reproductive Justice, challenging Oklahoma’s regulation of the abortion drug Mifeprex commonly known as mifepristone, RU-486, or The Abortion Pill.
The case is an appeal by the state of Oklahoma from a ruling by its Supreme Court striking down a 2011 law that requires prescribing physicians to follow the FDA’s protocol for administering the Mifeprex abortion pill regimen using a combination of two drugs; mifepristone and misoprostol. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/09/17/my-daughter-died-from-the-abortion-drug-10-years-ago-today/
Mom Defies Doctor’s Suggestion to Have an Abortion, Baby Defies the Odds
I hope that this story emphasizes the importance of researching all options and even getting a second opinion when faced with a prenatal diagnosis. Sometimes, things truly are bad when it comes to prenatal anomalies, but not always, and hope is a wonderful thing to have.
We went in for our routine fetal anatomy ultrasound around 21 weeks gestation. I was so naive. I was just happy to learn the sex of our new baby. Anomalies—the true reason for ultrasounds—were the last thing on my mind. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/09/17/mom-defies-doctors-suggestion-to-have-an-abortion-baby-defies-the-odds/


Abortion Industry Faces “Nightmare” After Closing of Dozens of Clinics
54,000,000 plus and counting. On its face – it just seems like a really big number.
However, this number represents something much more than just eight meaningless digits. Each one represents a precious and innocent life brought to an unnatural end. It’s unsettling that our society has normalized one of the greatest human tragedies the world has ever seen. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/09/17/abortion-industry-faces-nightmare-after-closing-of-dozens-of-clinics/
Abortionist Slaps Pregnant Woman Before Abortion, Just Gets Slap on the Wrist
An abortion practitioner who slapped a patient before an abortion merely received a slap on the wrist from the state medical board.
In October 2012, the The Florida Department of Health filed a disciplinary petition against Orlando, Florida-based abortion practitioner Randall Whitney. The petition cites unprofessional conduct related to an incident where he intentionally struck an abortion patient on March 27, 2010. Whitney faced possible license revocation, if the Board voted to discipline him. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/09/17/abortionist-slaps-pregnant-woman-before-abortion-just-gets-slap-on-the-wrist/
Father of Unborn Baby Shoots at Pregnant Mom When She Refuses Abortion
The father of an unborn child shot at the baby’s mother over the weekend after she refused his demands to get an abortion.
Such violence against pregnant women is fairly common when husbands and boyfriends get upset following their partner’s refusal to acquiesce to their demand to have an abortion. Leading pro-life groups have pushed for laws to provide justice for both mother and baby when the unborn child is killed or injured in such an attack, but abortion advocacy groups have resisted such efforts. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/09/17/father-of-unborn-baby-shoots-pregnant-mom-when-she-refuses-abortion/

Washington Post: Unborn Baby Shortly After Conception is “Not a Living Being”

Nation’s Biggest Late-Term Abortion Biz Faces Vote to Ban Abortions at 20 Weeks

“Pro-Choice” Women Angry About Not Being Told Abortion Drug Has Big Risks
There have been a rash of articles in media of late pushing the line that informed consent laws, laws limiting chemical abortions, and challenges to so-called “web-cam abortions” are totally unnecessary, just pro-life ploys to put more obstacles in the way of women getting the “reproductive health care” they want and need. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/09/17/pro-choice-women-angry-about-not-being-told-abortion-drug-has-big-risks/

Abortion Activists Fail to Make “Reproductive Health” an Intentional Norm, Part 1
For decades, powerful countries and wealthy foundations conducted a campaign to create a global standard for abortion rights. Despite their efforts, the phrase “reproductive health” has been adopted, but not an international norm of reproductive rights.. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/09/17/abortion-activists-fail-to-make-reproductive-health-an-intentional-norm-part-1/
