Texas Committee Passes Bill to Ban Abortions at 20 Weeks
The House State Affairs Committee last night passed a pro-life bill to ban abortions in the state after 20 weeks of pregnancy and hold abortion facilities accountable for obeying health and safety laws.
The last attempt to pass the bill was halted in the state Senate with a pro-abortion filibuster but state Sen. Wendy Davis says she will not filibuster the bill a second time.
Pro-Abortion Mom Makes Child Hold “Stay Out of My Womb” Sign With F-Bomb
The protesters at the Texas capitol have already exploited children by making them hold signs supporting their protest against a ban on late-term abortions. Today the Internet is abuzz with shock and disgust over another sign, along with a video showing abortion activists chanting Hail Satan.
A little girl is shown in a picture along with pro-abortion protestors holding a sign saying, “If I wanted the government in my womb, I’d f— a senator.” http://www.lifenews.com/2013/07/03/pro-abortion-mom-makes-child-hold-stay-out-of-my-womb-sign-with-f-bomb/

Abortion Activists Yell “Hail Satan” as Texas Pro-Lifers Sing Amazing Grace
The pro-abortion protests outside the state capitol in Austin have produced a variety of offensive signs and slogans — but perhaps none more offensive than activists yelling “Hail Satan” as pro-lifers sang “Amazing Grace.”
The picture below, first reported by CNN, shows pro-lifers signing the song and video a blogger captured below captures what happened. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/07/03/abortion-activists-yell-hail-satan-as-texas-pro-lifers-sing-amazing-grace/
Rubio Will Lead Senate Bill Banning Late-Term Abortions After 20 Weeks
Senator Marco Rubio has announced he will be the lead member of the U.S. Senate to push the bill to ban abortions from after 20-weeks of pregnancy up to the day of birth nationwide.
The House vote for the bill broke down on mostly partisan lines with Republicans supporting the ban on late-term abortions and Democrats opposing it. The House approved the bill on a 228-196 vote with 6 Democrats voting for the bill and 6 Republicans voting against it. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/07/03/rubio-will-lead-senate-bill-banning-late-term-abortions-after-20-weeks/

Women and Young Adults More Likely to Support 20-Week Abortion Ban
During last week’s controversy over Texas Senate Bill 5, National Journal released a poll which found that by a 48-44 margin, Americans favor banning abortion after 20 weeks of gestation.
The survey results were not particularly surprising. A substantial body of polling data indicates that Americans are more likely to support, rather than oppose, incremental pro-life legislation. However, what is more interesting is the demographic breakdown. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/07/03/women-and-young-adults-more-likely-to-support-20-week-abortion-ban/
March of Dimes, American Cancer Society, Spina Bifida Association Back Planned Parenthood
Christians are known for their charitable giving. Yet the very charities many have supported are aligned with Planned Parenthood in forcing the people who support their work to pay for things that directly contradict their faith.
The March of Dimes, the American Cancer Society, and the Spina Bifida Association were listed in Planned Parenthood’s recent white paper, Taking Control, as being among “a wide range of health care groups” that joined the abortion giant. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/07/03/march-of-dimes-american-cancer-society-spina-bifida-association-back-planned-parenthood/

Obama Admin Still Forcing HHS Mandate Despite Employer Mandate Delay
Conservatives have been celebrating the delay in implementation of the employer mandate in Obamacare since news broke, but that good news has no impact on the controversial birth control mandate.
The HHS mandate that compels religious groups to pay for birth control and drugs that may cause abortions is moving ahead, as revised on Friday. Not only is it moving forward, but the revisions the Obama administration handed out do nothing to quell the pro-life concerns. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/07/03/obama-admin-still-forcing-hhs-mandate-despite-individual-mandate-delay/

French Prime Minister Hollande Wants to Legalize Euthanasia
Opposing assisted suicide/euthanasia should be a top liberal agenda item. (For example, see Robert P. Jones, Nat Hentoff, Dr. Rex Green, and most disability rights activists–such as Diane Coleman.) Indeed, that was certainly the cut of my jib when I first got involved in the issue. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/07/03/french-prime-minister-hollande-wants-to-legalize-euthanasia/

Groups Ask Court to Stop Patenting of Embryonic Stem Cells
I never understood why patents were ever allowed for embryonic stem cells. They are not human inventions. They–like genes–are naturally occurring. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/07/03/groups-ask-court-to-stop-patneting-of-embryonic-stem-cells/
