After Losing to Hobby Lobby, Obama Admin Pushes Crippling Fines for HHS Mandate ViolatorsAfter losing to Hobby Lobby at the Supreme Court in a case about whether certain businesses who object to paying for abortion-causing drugs for their employees must follow the HHS mandate, the Obama administration has revised the HHS mandate rules.
The revisions target religious nonprofits and those pro-life companies like Hobby Lobby. http://www.lifenews.com/2014/08/22/after-losing-to-hobby-lobby-obama-admin-pushes-crippling-fines-for-hhs-mandate-violators/
She Worked at a Planned Parenthood Abortion Clinic Until a Teenager Asked Her This QuestionWe often think of Planned Parenthood as the enemy. How could we not, considering they are the nation’s largest abortion chain, and aggressively promote promiscuous sexual behavior that leads to unplanned pregnancy and abortion?
lindacouriAs a result, our natural instinct is to demonize them and, in many cases, their employees. So rooted in our pro-life convictions, it can be difficult to conceive of an abortion worker being driven by compassion—however misguided. http://www.lifenews.com/2014/08/22/she-worked-at-a-planned-parenthood-abortion-clinic-until-a-teenager-asked-her-this-question/
The Utterly Amazing Story of a Baby Who Survived an RU 486 AbortionWhat an incredible story! An abortion that “failed,” a couple that then desperately wanted their baby girl to make it, a series of near fatal medical complications, compounded by guilt there will be after-effects from a chemical abortion performed on their child who was born healthy three weeks ago.
Such is the amazing story of Shannon Skinner and Anthony Hunt and their baby, Amelia. It began before Amelia was even conceived, according to Helen Weathers, in a story that ran in Thursday’s edition of The Daily Mail newspaper. http://www.lifenews.com/2014/08/22/the-utterly-amazing-story-of-a-baby-who-survived-an-ru-486-abortion/

Sarah Palin Blasts Richard Dawkins on Aborting Kids With Down Syndrome: “My Son is Absolute Beauty”
Former Alaska governor and vice-presidential candidate Sarah Palin took Richard Dawkins to task after he created an international controversy with his comments saying parents of unborn children diagnosed with Down syndrome should abort them.
Yesterday, Dawkins doubled down on his controversial comments yesterday suggesting that parents of babies with Down Syndrome should “abort them and try again.” Dawkins said aborting babies with Down syndrome is the “moral and sensible” choice. http://www.lifenews.com/2014/08/22/sarah-palin-blasts-richard-dawkins-on-aborting-kids-with-down-syndrome-my-son-is-absolute-beauty/

Abortionist Who Stored Bodies of 35 Aborted Babies in Freezer May Lose Medical LicenseAdministrative Law Judge Jeff Masin has recommended that the notorious abortionist Steven Chase Brigham should have his last remaining medical license revoked and pay a fine of $30,000 along with other costs after hearing evidence that Brigham engaged in a pattern of deception, engaged in illegal late-term abortions, and operated in Maryland without being licensed in that state.
“A measure of justice may finally be coming to Brigham, who has learned from over 30 years of legal trouble very creative ways to circumvent laws that are meant to protect women from scofflaws of his ilk,” said Troy Newman, President of Operation Rescue. http://www.lifenews.com/2014/08/22/abortionist-who-stored-bodies-of-35-aborted-babies-in-freezer-may-lose-medical-license/
These Senators Support Late-Term Abortions and Harry Reid is Protecting ThemPro-life groups are putting together a multi-state press conference for next week to expose how three U.S. senators support late-term abortions. The three lawmakers — Mark Udall in Colorado, Kay Hagan in North Carolina and Mark Pryor in Arkansas — all have pro-abortion voting records.
What’s worse, none of them are sponsors of the Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act — a measure to ban abortions after 20 weeks based on the scientific evidence showing unborn children feel intense pain. http://www.lifenews.com/2014/08/22/these-senators-support-late-term-abortions-and-harry-reid-is-protecting-them/
Amazing Vine Documents 9 Months of Pregnancy in 5 SecondsPregnancy is a beautiful thing as parents await the birth of a baby who has spent the last nine months growing in the womb. But here’s an incredible innovative idea that celebrates pregnancy and the birth of a newborn by taking that 9 month experience and boiling it down to 5 seconds.
