Planned Parenthood Takes Battle to Kill Texas Pro-Life Law to Supreme Court
The Planned Parenthood abortion business is taking its battle to kill a Texas pro-life law that has already resulted in temporarily closing abortion clinics across the state to the U.S. Supreme Court.

“We’re asking the Supreme Court to stop Texas’ dangerous and extreme law from taking effect because your rights — your very ability to make your own medical decisions — should not depend on your zip code,” said Cecile Richards, president of Planned Parenthood Federation of America. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/11/04/planned-parenthood-takes-battle-to-kill-texas-pro-life-law-to-supreme-court/
476 Babies Saved From Abortion During 40 Days for Life, 8,012 in All Campaigns
Although the campaign has ended … we’re still receiving information from our hard-working local coordinators. Through 40 days of prayer and fasting, we have so far received reports of 476 babies saved from abortion (that we know of)!

Add that to the number of babies who were saved during all previous 40 Days for Life campaigns … and the total is now 8,012 babies whose lives were spared!!! The Lord has truly heard and answered your prayers! http://www.lifenews.com/2013/11/04/476-babies-saved-from-abortion-during-40-days-for-life-8012-in-all-campaigns/

Obama Admin Will Ignore Obamacare Rules and Hide Taxpayer Funding of Abortions
On a Friday night back in December 2009, Senate Majority Leader Reid was in tense negotiations with then-Senator Ben Nelson of Nebraska, as Reid desperately needed Nelson’s vote to secure Senate passage of ObamaCare. Finally, Nelson had what Politico described as a “breakthrough” that lead to a deal, as Politico reported a few days later.
Part of the deal, Politico wrote, was that “people who receive federal subsidies would need to write two separate checks as a way to ensure that none of the federal dollars went toward the abortion premium.”http://www.lifenews.com/2013/11/04/obama-admin-will-ignore-obamacare-rules-and-hide-taxpayer-funding-of-abortions/
Woman With Stage Four Gallbladder Cancer Loses Insurance Thanks to Obamacare
A woman with stage four gallbladder cancer is one of the millions of Americans who are losing their health insurance thanks to the rules and regulations that are a part of Obamacare. Edie Littlefield Sundby details her plight in a new article the Wall Street Journal published:

Democrat Phone Calls Falsely Claim Cuccinelli Backs Obamacare, Abortion
Democrats in Virginia are facing accusations of dirty tricks in the final hours of the very ugly gubernatorial campaign between pro-life Republican gubernatorial candidate Ken Cuccinelli and pro-abortion Democrat Terry McAuliffe.

Scott Lingamfelter, a Republican member of the Virginia House of Delegates, says in a Facebook post that he received a Democratic robocall claiming Cuccinelli supports both Obamacare and abortion. Cuccinelli is a strongly pro-life candidate who led one of the legal battles to try to head off Obamacare in court. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/11/04/democrat-phone-calls-falsely-claim-cuccinelli-backs-obamacare-abortion/
Sebelius Gets “Web Site for Dummies” Book at Obamacare Promotional Event
At a promotional event today for Obamacare, HHS Secretary Kathleen Sebelius got a book from one Americans who shares the frustrations most people across the country are facing over Obamacare. She received a book entitled, “Web Sites for Dummies” in response to the failing Obamacare web site.
From a report on the state legislator who gave her the book: The only warning State Sen. Brian Kelsey, R-Germantown, gave of what he intended to do at U.S. Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius’ visit to the Benjamin L. Hooks Central Library Friday, Nov. 1, was that he would appear “in protest of the visit.” http://www.lifenews.com/2013/11/04/sebelius-gets-web-site-for-dummies-book-at-obamacare-promotional-event/

White Democrat Refuses to Shake Hands With Pro-Life Black Candidate
Virginia Lieutenant Governor Ralph Northam is the subject of nationwide condemnation today for refusing to shake hands with his pro-life black conservative Republican opponent, E.W. Jackson. Northam was caught on camera refusing to shake Jackson’s hand after supporting Obamacare and attacking conservative Christian voters.
As a pro-life, conservative African-American, Jackson has been pegged with the typical “Uncle Tom” attacks throughout the campaign from liberals who claim he is selling out his ethnicity by taking principled conservative stances and opposing abortion. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/11/04/white-democrat-refuses-to-shake-hands-with-pro-life-black-candidate/
