Senate Democrats Reject GOP Obamacare Delay, Force Abortion Funding
Senate Democrats today, on a party-line vote, rejected the House Republicans’ effort Saturday night to delay Obamacare, and stop abortion funding and promotion.

The Senate yanked out the House-approved amendments on the bill to fund the federal government, meaning it rejected amendments to strike abortion funding from Obamcare and to strike the HHS mandate that compels religious groups to pay for birth control and drugs that may cause abortions.

Obama Admin Will Break Law to Fund Abortions for Congress, Congressional Staff
The Obama administration has confirmed it will break current federal law to pay for abortions for members of Congress and Congressional staff via Obamacare.
Leading pro-life groups and pro-life members of Congress have been concerned that the Office of Personnel Management will not comply with the Smith Amendment that bans taxpayer-funding of abortions in federal employee health care plans. Under the amendment, which is existing law, federal funds may not be used to pay for abortions via federally-funded health insurance for congressional staff and Members. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/09/30/obama-admin-will-break-law-to-fund-abortions-for-congress-congressional-staff/
Former Abortion Practitioner Lays His Surgical Instruments at the Feet of the Pope
The pro-life movement is filled with former abortion practitioners who have experienced a monumental change of heart. Many have converted to Christianity, become pro-life, and some now work as legitimate doctors or become associated with pregnancy centers providing women with tangible abortion alternatives.

Dr. Antonio Oriente is one such former abortion practitioner. He so genuinely wanted to receive forgiveness for his involvement in the abortion industry that, recently, he brought the surgical instruments he used to take the lives of unborn babies in abortions and laid them at the feet of Pope Francis. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/09/30/former-abortion-practitioner-lays-his-surgical-instruments-at-the-feet-of-the-pope/

Obamacare’s Consequences: Medical Journal Advocates Price Controls to Ration Cancer Drugs
I always say: If you want to see where things will go wrong next in society, read the professional journals.

An article published in the Journal of Clinical Oncology advocates that the government set a “just price” for all cancer drugs.

Abortion Biz Prez Blasts GOP’s Defunding Abortion in Obamacare as “War on Women”
Planned Parenthood president Cecile Richards is on the warpath again, making up claims that Republicans in the House of Representatives are engaging in some sort of “War on Women” by passing a measure that would ensure taxpayers aren’t forced to pay for abortions under Obamacare.
Under the false headline, “The House’s war on women,” Richards claims: http://www.lifenews.com/2013/09/30/abortion-biz-prez-blasts-gops-defunding-abortion-in-obamacare-as-war-on-women/

More Than 1 Million People Alive Today Because the Hyde Amendment Stopped Abortion Funding
The Hyde Amendment sticks in the craw of abortion absolutists as much as any pro-life law ever enacted. And today marks the 37th anniversary of passage of the law (the “Hyde” is the late pro-life champion, Rep. Henry Hyde), a titanic struggle that represented a major success against federal funding of abortion.
Prior to its passage in 1976, the federal Medicaid program paid for 300,000 abortions a year. Conservative estimates are that there are well over one million people are alive today because of the Hyde Amendment. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/09/30/more-than-1-million-people-alive-today-because-the-hyde-amendment-stopped-abortion-funding/

India Clinics Coerce Women Into Surrogacy, Force Them to Have Caesarian Sections
In a land of “liberty” and “opportunity” it is difficult to imagine a person’s worth being assigned to him based on his ability, yet this is exactly what we do when we allow elective abortion based on a genetic The San Francisco Chronicle has a long and amazing story on surrogacy in India. It reveals how terribly the “gestational carriers” are exploited. For example, in one clinic three-quarters of all the children are born surgically by caesarean–and, it would appear, with inadequate post-surgical pain control. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/09/30/india-clinics-coerce-women-into-surrogacy-force-them-to-have-caesarian-sections/
