HHS Mandate Loses Again, Obama Admin Can’t Force Family Business to Comply
The HHS mandate that is a part of Obamacare was dealt another blow on Friday, as a federal appeals court ruled the Obama administration cannot force a family-run business in Illinois to comply with it and pay for birth control or abortion-causing drugs for its employees.
This ruling comes after another victory against the mandate earlier this month.
Democrats Credit Phony “War on Women” With Beating Cuccinnelli, Plan 2014 Attacks
The pro-life movement has an opportunity to re-capture the Senate from abortion activists next year, but pro-life Republican candidates who are looking to win Senate seat in the mid-term elections need to be prepared for continued phony attacks accusing them of engaging in a so-called War on Women.
During the Virginia gubernatorial election, the Planned Parenthood abortion business threw $1 million in false attacks on pro-life candidate Ken Cuccinelli at Virginia voters.

New York City Mayor Wants More Abortion Clinics, Will Use Tax Dollars to Build Them
New York City is the abortion capital of America — with higher abortion rates than almost anywhere else in the nation. But that’s not good enough for newly-elected Mayor Bill de Blasio, who wants more abortion clinics build and is pledging to employ taxpayer funds to do so.
Anna Higgins of the Family Research Council notes that de Blasio, “has promised to partner with Planned Parenthood and other abortion providers to help them expand their business in the city. He says he plans to help abortionists find neighborhoods that lack convenient clinic access and provide them with ‘city sponsored’ space to set up shop.” http://www.lifenews.com/2013/11/11/new-york-city-mayor-wants-more-abortion-clinics-will-use-tax-dollars-to-build-them/
Our Veterans Fought and Died For Our Freedom, Not for Abortion
In the early morning hours of June 6, 1944, thirty men from the small town of Bedford, Virginia, huddled close together in landing craft churning through the dark waters of the English Channel on a mission unlike any other the world had ever known. Their destination: a strip of sand known as Omaha Beach in Normandy, France.
Most of the thoughts running through the minds of these young men are lost to eternity. Surely there was no lack of thought of loved ones back home—wives, mothers, sweethearts and friends— loved ones who were now half a world away, shielded from the ferocity of war by the sprawling Blue Ridge. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/11/11/our-veterans-fought-and-died-for-our-freedom-not-for-abortion/
