Supreme Court Accepts Hobby Lobby’s Challenge to Obama’s HHS Mandate
Hobby Lobby’s battle against the HHS mandate is headed to the Supreme Court, as the high court today agreed to hear its lawsuit against the controversial provision in Obamacare. The Obama administration is attempting to make it comply with the HHS mandate that compels religious companies to pay for birth control and abortion-causing drugs for their employees.
However, the U.S. Supreme Court today agreed to take up Sebelius v. Hobby Lobby Stores, Inc., a landmark case addressing the Constitutionally guaranteed rights of business owners to operate their family companies without violating their deeply held religious convictions. This is good news to the Green family, who own the store. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/11/26/hobby-lobbys-battle-against-obamas-hhs-mandate-heads-to-supreme-court/
Pope Francis: Catholic Church Will Never Compromise on Abortion
Today, the Vatican released the text of Evangelii Gaudium (“The Joy of the Gospel”), an Apostolic Exhortation by Pope Francis that specifically addresses pro-life and pro-family issues.
The text of the message makes it clear that the Catholic Church cannot and will not compromise on its pro-life teachings on abortion. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/11/26/pope-francis-catholic-churchs-pro-life-teaching-on-abortion-cant-change/

Obama Admin: We Will Win Our Bid to Force Hobby Lobby to Obey the HHS Mandate
The Obama administration says it is confident it will prevail in its bid to force Hobby Lobby and other religious businesses and groups to obey the HHS mandate that compels them to pay for birth control and abortion-causing drugs.
Responding to today’s news that the Supreme Court will take Hobby Lobby’s case to overturn the HHS mandate, the Obama administration released a statement saying, “We believe this requirement is lawful…and are confident the Supreme Court will agree.” http://www.lifenews.com/2013/11/26/obama-admin-we-will-win-our-bid-to-force-hobby-lobby-to-obey-the-hhs-mandate/
Congresswoman’s Miracle Baby May Come Home for Christmas After Doctors Said She’d Die
When she was pregnant with her daughter Abigail Rose Beutler, doctors told Congresswoman Jaime Herrera Beutler, a pro-life Republican from Washington state, that her baby had a potentially fatal diagnosis that would claim her life shortly after birth.
Beutler posted a message on Facebook in June saying her unborn child had been diagnosed with Potter’s Syndrome, a condition which prevents the child’s kidneys from developing properly and is typically fatal for the baby. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/11/26/congresswomans-miracle-baby-may-come-home-for-christmas-after-doctors-said-shed-die/


New Poll: 59 Percent Oppose Obamacare’s HHS Abortion-Birth Control Mandate
On the same day the Supreme Court announced it would take Hobby lobby’s case to dismantle the HHS mandate that forces religious companies and groups to pay for birth control and abortion-causing drugs, two pro-life organizations released a new poll showing 59 percent of Americans oppose the mandate.
Family Research Council (FRC) and Alliance Defending Freedom (ADF) released the results of a commissioned national survey showing that 59 percent of likely voters “oppose the mandate requiring the coverage of preventive care services for women which includes all FDA approved contraceptives, including drugs that can destroy a human embryo, and sterilization services without a direct cost to the patient.” http://www.lifenews.com/2013/11/26/new-poll-59-percent-oppose-obamacares-hhs-abortion-birth-control-mandate/
Obama Administration Snubs Catholic Church With Vatican Embassy Downgrade
The Obama administration has offended the Catholic Church before by putting in place ambassadors who support abortion and flout the pro-life teachings of the Catholic Church. Now, President Barack Obama is taking this further and launching what could be the first step in pushing the United Nations to remove the Holy See’s official status at the UN.
The Obama administration has decided that the free-standing American embassy to the Holy See will soon be closed, and the offices for the Ambassador to the Vatican will be moved inside of the U.S. Italian Embassy. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/11/26/obama-administration-snubs-catholic-church-with-vatican-embassy-downgrade/

47 Abortion Clinics Have Closed in 2013, 72% Have Closed Since 1991
LifeNews.com is reporting that an abortion clinic surreptitiously operated by scofflaw abortionist Steven Chase Brigham in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, called Integrity Family Health has been closed by the state after complaints by pro-life groups linking it to Brigham.
Brigham’s Pennsylvania medical license is inactive and cannot be renewed. In July, 2010, Brigham was banned by the State of Pennsylvania from operating or controlling any abortion clinics in that state citing violations that endangered the public. Brigham is currently not allowed to practice medicine in any state. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/11/26/47-abortion-clinics-have-closed-in-2013-72-have-closed-since-1991/
