Senate Democrats Block Republicans’ Effort to Defund Pro-Abortion Obamacare
With the Senate voting 54-44 on a party-line vote today, Senate Democrats blocked an effort by Republicans to de-fund the Obamacare legislation that pro-life groups oppose because it will fund abortions and presents rationing concerns.
AP has more on the vote: The Democratic-led Senate has blocked an effort to strip money from the president’s health care law. The party-line, 54-44 vote clears the last obstacle to Senate approval of a measures aimed at preventing a government shutdown on Tuesday. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/09/27/senate-democrats-block-republicans-effort-to-defund-pro-abortion-obamacare/
Abortion Activists Sue to Stop Pro-Life Texas Law Closing Abortion Clinics
Leading abortion advocacy groups today filed a lawsuit seeking to stop the pro-life law Texas passed over Wendy Davis’ infamous objections that bans abortions after 20 weeks of pregnancy.
However, abortion advocates are not challenging the abortion ban – they are going after the abortion facility regulations responsible for closing some abortion clinics already and potentially closing a more. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/09/27/abortion-activists-sue-to-stop-texas-law-banning-abortions-after-20-weeks/

Pro-Life Leaders Pledge: We Will Not Obey Obamacare’s Abortion Funding, HHS Mandate
For several months now, prominent pro-life leaders have been meeting to discuss what action must be taken when, on October 1, 2013, the Exchanges open and a large majority of health insurance policies are found to contain direct or indirect funding for abortion.
Through long meetings and meticulous discussion, a coalition of pro-life leaders has developed a unified response to the Affordable Care Act’s relentless endeavors to guarantee funding for abortion through everything from individual citizens to private businesses and non-profit organizations – with absolutely no regard to any religious liberty or conscientious objections. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/09/27/pro-life-leaders-pledge-we-will-not-obey-obamacares-abortion-funding-hhs-mandate/

Abortionist: We Invite Moms to Hold Their Babies After Abortions
A recent interview with late-term abortionist Dr. Susan Robinson has drawn significant attention for some of the ways Robinson attempts to humanize the process of destroying the lives of unborn children in late-term abortions.
Although surveys show women frequently regret their abortions and face a litany of medical and mental health problems following an abortion, Robinson attempts to make women feel better about their decision in a sick and twisted sort of way. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/09/27/abortionist-we-invite-moms-to-hold-their-babies-after-abortions/
Obamacare Insurance Plans Will Limit Your Hospital and Specialist Choices
Starting Tuesday, October 1, people around the country will begin enrolling in “exchanges” mandated by the Obama Health Care Law, choosing their health insurance for 2014. When they do so, however, many will find their alternatives limited to cut-rate plans that allow them to see only narrow groups of health care providers that exclude the best specialists and health care centers.
A New York Times article titled, “Lower Health Insurance Premiums to Come at Cost of Fewer Choices” explains! http://www.lifenews.com/2013/09/27/obamacare-insurance-plans-will-limit-your-hospital-and-specialist-choices/


Inside the Mind of Abortionist and Convicted Murderer Kermit Gosnell
I never wrote this, but after abortionist Kermit Gosnell was sentenced I KNEW we had not heard the last of a man convicted of three counts of first-degree murder and one count of involuntary manslaughter. Why? Simply because I had read the interview he had given March 22, 2010, to David Gambacorta of the Philadelphia Daily News long before the trial began (“DOCTOR FROM HELL . . . OR GODSEND?”), the excusatory comments of Jack McMahon, his defense attorney during and after the trial, and what the Grand Jury report said about a man who operated a “House of Horrors.”
So why would that add up to a second act for a man who had been convicted of murdering three babies he’d deliberated aborted alive and then severed their spinal cords and whose untrained, uneducated staff had over-medicated a 41-year-old refugee? Because Gosnell—hard as this is to believe, let alone stomach—clearly sees himself as a victim. Indeed he sees himself as a misunderstood…hero. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/09/27/inside-the-mind-of-abortionist-and-convicted-murderer-kermit-gosnell/

Had He Been Aborted, Teddy Kremer Couldn’t Bring the Cincinnati Reds Joy
It was one of the most heartwarming moments of the 2013 baseball season.

Who doesn’t have a soft spot for Sandra Bullock? From ‘Miss Congeniality’ to ‘The Blind Side’ her funny, sweet performances have captured the hearts of movie goers worldwide.

Dear Abortion Clinic Workers: You’re Killing Babies and Your Soul, But There’s Hope
