Obamacare State Exchanges May Fund 111,500 Abortions a Year With Your Money
On January 1, 2014 state health exchanges, or the federal or “partnership” versions that will operate in their stead in a narrow majority of states, are required by law to be up and running.
By October 1, 2013 consumers are supposed to be able to begin researching and comparing insurance options in these exchanges. Delays in the implementation of the Affordable Care Act are evident in nearly all areas of the law, including a feature called “multi-state plans” (MSPs) that are designed to be phased in over a four-year period for every state in the Union. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/09/26/obamacare-state-exchanges-will-fund-tens-of-thousands-of-abortions-with-your-money/
Mom Takes Pregnant Daughter for Abortion After Stepfather Impregnates Her
LifeNews has spent almost 20 years chronicling how the abortion industry doesn’t offer any protection for young girls who are victims of statutory rape. Most recently, an abortion practitioner in Indiana was caught waiting months after he did an abortion on a young girl who was a victim of statutory rape before finally reporting it to the state.
Now, an abortion clinic in New York apparently did an abortion on the baby of another rape victim, covering up the crime and evidence authorities may use to prosecute the perpetrator. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/09/25/kermit-gosnell-uses-margaret-sangers-arguments-to-defend-his-abortions-infanticides/

Abortion Activist Wendy Davis Will Run for Governor in Texas
The worst-kept secret in politics has been confirmed, as sources say today that pro-abortion activist Wendy Davis will run for governor in Texas. Davis, who rose to national infamy by leading the filibuster against a bill to ban late-term abortions in Texas, was supposed to announce early next month whether she would run.
But Politico announced today that Davis will mount a campaign. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/09/26/abortion-activist-wendy-davis-will-run-for-governor-in-texas/
Pro-Life Members of Congress Want Obamacare Abortion Funding Stopped
Congressman Joe Pitts has sent a letter to Speaker Boehner on behalf of dozens of colleagues to stop the funding and promotion of abortion in Obamacare.
Yesterday Rep. Joe Pitts (R-PA) sent a letter signed by 72 Members of Congress to Speaker Boehner. The letter asks Speaker Boehner to act in either the FY14 Continuing Resolution or legislation to raise the debt limit to prevent funding for insurance plans that include abortion under the new health care law, and to stop First Amendment violations with respect to the HHS Mandate. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/09/26/pro-life-members-of-congress-want-obamacare-abortion-funding-and-hhs-mandate-stopped/


Man With Down Syndrome Becomes Elite Power Lifter
CBS’s On the Road with Steven Hartman recently featured a segment on Delaware weightlifter Jonathan Stoklosa, who was born with Down Syndrome. Jonathan, who lives with his parents, balances a busy daily routine that includes a job at a grocery store and long hours of weightlifting when he’s not at work.
Jonathan is described in the spot as a superhero, and it’s no surprise – he can bench 400 pounds. But despite his gargantuan proportions, Jonathan has a soft and gentle spot as well. He loves giving stickers to children who shop at his store, and he will load your groceries with utmost care. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/09/26/man-with-down-syndrome-becomes-elite-power-lifter/
83 Abortion Clinic Workers Have Quit During 40 Days for Life, Pro-Lifers Pray for More
Thus far, we’ve seen 83 abortion facility employees have conversions and leave their jobs during 40 Days for Life campaigns. You heard from two of them — who not only left but then joined the vigil — in the video we sent yesterday. If you missed it (or just want to see it again), watch it and share with friends:
I can’t say where, of course … but we’ve heard that abortion workers have already reached out to prayer volunteers on Day 1 so keep them in your prayers! http://www.lifenews.com/2013/09/26/83-abortion-clinic-workers-have-quit-during-40-days-for-life-pro-lifers-pray-for-more/


Fashion Photographer Uses Photos to Show Beauty of People With Genetic Differences
Images have a transformative power. Images convey ideas in ways words can only envy. Images can change perceptions and encourage action. We can describe to someone the scientific facts of the unborn child’s development but to show them a 4-D ultrasound photo of that child will prove to be even more influential.
As a fashion photographer, Rick Guidotti (left) understood the power of images. Guidotti worked in New York City, Paris and Milan with high-profile clients like Yves St. Laurent, Revlon, L’Oreal, Elle, Harper’s Bazaar and GQ. But his career took an unexpected turn when, one day on a Manhattan street, he was struck by the beauty of a woman with albinism. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/09/26/fashion-photographer-uses-photos-to-show-beauty-of-people-with-genetic-differences/
