Congressman: Obama Admin Breaking the Law Funding Abortions Under Obamacare
Rep. Chris Smith (R-N.J.) appeared on yesterday’s edition of “Washington Watch with Tony Perkins” to respond to the on-demand abortions found in Obamacare exchange healthcare plans in spite of the Hyde Amendment, which prohibits federal funding of abortion.
“The president made a promise that he would adhere to the Hyde principle, and that means that you do not fund even a plan that includes abortion,” said the Representative.
Two-Thirds of Abortions in the United States are Done on Minority Babies
The abortion of a child of any ethnicity or color is a tragedy that impacts a whole nation. But one thing the latest numbers from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control (CDC) tell us is that abortion continues to exact a particularly devastating toll on minority communities.
As mentioned in a post from earlier this week, the CDC annual “Abortion Surveillance” for 2010 found a 3.1% drop in abortions from 2009, on top of a 4.6% drop from the previous year.

Paul Walker’s Last Film “Hours” Features Incredible Pro-Life Message
In one of his last films, which as not yet been released, Paul Walker played the husband of a woman who unexpectedly dies in childbirth.
Walker is famed for his roles in The Fast and the Furious, and tragically died in a car crash last weekend. In the film, his character’s daughter, born five weeks early, is hooked up to a ventilator which is her only chance of survival until she is strong enough to breathe on her own. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/12/08/paul-walkers-last-film-hours-features-incredible-pro-life-message/

Mother Gives Birth, Wraps Her Baby in a Towel and Leaves Her to Die
For many Alaskans it was an unimaginable tragedy. An Eagle River woman allegedly gave birth to a baby girl, wrapped her in a towel, and left her to die under a bush in a public park. A resident walking his dog later found the deceased child. The young woman now finds herself charged with murder and, if convicted, facing up to 99 years in prison.
But the life of the child might have been saved under Alaska’s Safe Haven law that allows a newborn baby to be left with a staff member at any hospital, fire or police station or with a medical service provider with no legal repercussions for the mother. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/12/08/mother-gives-birth-wraps-her-baby-in-a-towel-and-leaves-her-to-die/


Group Wanting Personhood for Chimps Allowed Them to be Mistreated for Lawsuit
I recently posted about the lawsuits that have been filed seeking writs of habeas corpus for chimpanzees. I promised I would write at greater length. It just came out.
While researching for my piece, I read the on-line boasting by the Nonhuman Rights Project about how the lawsuits came to be filed at this particular time. And I noticed something very interesting. The group apparently allowed chimps to be mistreated (at a roadside zoo) for an extended period because it served their ideological purposes. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/12/07/group-wanting-personhood-for-chimps-allowed-them-to-be-mistreated-for-lawsuit/
Nelson Mandela: Can He Have a Great Legacy if He Promoted Abortion?
Even the Pope and Cardinal Dolan have been lauding South African leader Nelson Mandela following his death earlier this week of natural causes at age 95.

Moving Video of “Disabled” Mannequins Shows Beauty Comes in All Forms
When I first saw Pro Infirmis’s, “Because who is perfect?” video on my Facebook feed I was intrigued. A few minutes into the video I was holding back tears.
Pro Infirmis is a Swiss charity organization for the disabled. They have a beautiful project called, “Because Who Is Perfect? Get Closer”. For the project they worked with Miss Handicap 2010, Jasmine Rechseiner, actor Erwin Aljukic', radio host Alex Oberholzer, athlete Urs Kolly and bloggger Nadja Schmid to create mannequins specifically modeled according to their disabled and handicapped bodies. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/12/08/moving-video-of-disabled-mannequins-shows-beauty-comes-in-all-forms/
