20130211 LifeNews Radio Tragic Death-Media Ignores-Washington State Bills

A 29-year-old woman and her husband discovered that their pre-born child was suffering some anomalies, so they traveled to the clinic of Leroy Carhart near Washington DC and four days later both mother and child were dead.  Family members told the hospital that abortionist Doctor Carhart failed to respond to their urgent phone calls.  Troy Newman of Operation Rescue said, “The avoidable death of this young woman dramatically illustrates the dangers of third trimester abortions that are done outside of the safety of obstetrical standards.” The mother was a kindergarten teacher from New York State.  Details are at LifeNews–dot–com.

Major media outlets are avoiding not only the tragic details of this story, but the apparently dangerous practice of late-term abortions.  Despite offering a news conference in the Washington DC area detailing the situation, only one newspaper sent a reporter to get the news. There was… no Washington Post, Baltimore Sun, and no coverage from the networks or AP.

From the state was first to legalize abortion in the US, comes news that activists may be turning the tide.  While one bill lingers near death in Washington State that would force all maternity health care coverage plans to also pay for abortion, another bill requiring parental notification before abortion is bringing large pro-life crowds to the state capital in Olympia in support of the pro-life measure.

Interior Department Cabinet Level Appointment Draws Attention to ObamaCare Exemptions, Thomas More Society Calling to Investigate Abortionist in Tonya Reaves’ Death

Text:
Pro-life groups, religious organizations and persons of conscience in business are unable to get what the White House has given to some businesses that are somehow favored by the Obama Administration.  Sally Jewell is the very successful head of REI Incorporated, an outdoor sports outfitter based in Seattle, and is now the President’s nominee for the Interior Department.  The president says REI is deserving to be made exempt from law by a White House decision—some would call it an arbitrary decision—granted because of the way this particular company performs.  Pro-life advocates and legal experts will be commenting on this implicit legal problem and precedent in the coming days as Sally Jewell’s nomination proceeds through US Senate confirmation.

The pro-life legal group, the Thomas More Society, says Illinois must investigate a doctor working at a Chicago Planned Parenthood business.  The Cook County medical examiner said 24-year-old Tonya Reeves died last summer from a bungled D and E abortion-the pregnancy itself did not contribute to her death.  The autopsy put the sole responsibility for her death on Planned Parenthood and the only way in Illinois to investigate is to investigate the doctor.

Blogger and LifeNews.com Threatened with Lawsuit, President Obama Celebrates Roe V Wade and NARAL Leadership, Prosecution of August Attack on Family Research Council, Archbishop Chaput Criticizes HHS Mandate Rewrite, Mother Teresa Video on YouTube-Abortion Threat to Peace

20130207 LifeNews Radio Threatened Lawsuit-Celebrating Roe-Chaput Critical-Mother Theresa

A leading black advocacy group has threatened to sue life news.com and black pro-life leader Ryan Bomberger, a blogger at Life News.com.  A recent column was entitled, “National Association for the Abortion of Colored People” and took the civil rights organization to task over its abortion position.

In a videotaped address to the pro-abortion group NARAL, President Barack Obama said that he celebrates the Roe V Wade decision, ignoring its 55 million abortions. According to a Politico report, Obama thanked outgoing NARAL president Nancy Keenan, calling the abortion activist  “a friend and counselor to me and my administration.”

The shooter in last August’s attack on the Family Research Council Headquarters pled guilty in Washington DC to three charges Wednesday.  Prosecutors said that investigators examined the assailant’s computer and found that he used a liberal website to identify or select his target.

Archbishop Charles Chaput of Philadelphia is taking to task the proposed revisions to the controversial HHS mandate forcing religious groups and people of conscience in business to pay for anything that interdicts parenthood and childbearing.  And YouTube now has the famous interview with Mother Teresa of Calcutta where she maintained that abortion is the “greatest threat to peace in the world”.

February 1st Twitter Censors Black Pro-Lifers, Arkansas Senate Passes Abortion Ban-Injunction against HHS Mandate, 491 Babies from Failed Abortions Left to Die

20130201 LifeNews Radio Twitter Censorship-Arkansas Ban-HHS Injunction-Canadian Probe

A coalition of African-American pro-life activists have had their Twitter account suspended after firing off tweets challenging the NAACP over its position favoring abortion.  Leading black pro-life advocates have been planning to protest the NAACP’s pro-abortion activism at its 44th Image Awards Show.

The Arkansas Senate passed a bill on to that state’s house that would ban virtually all abortions by making any abortion illegal when the baby has a heartbeat.  States are allowed to restrict abortion within certain guidelines.  This law would test those guidelines.

Another of the lawsuits against the HHS contraceptive-abortifacient drug mandate has yielded a preliminary injunction against the mandate on behalf of a family-run business.  The significance of the injunction is that it is the second time the seventh circuit Court of Appeals has found that there is a reasonable likelihood that plaintiffs will prevail in court with their case against the mandate.

When an abortion fails, it fails because the child is delivered.  Members of the Canadian Parliament are calling a probe into figures we released at life news.com.  In November, we reported on Statistics Canada figures showing nearly 500 children were abandoned to die following failed abortions in Canada.

January 22, 2012 President Obama Record on Abortion, Inaugural Motorcade Confronts Graphic Images, Closed Abortion Clinics, Botched Abortion, Irish Pro-Life Rally

20130122 LifeNews Radio Abortion Record-Confront Victims-Clinic Closings-Ireland Rally

On the occasion of the president’s inauguration to a second term, pro-life groups say President Obama brings a stark contrast to a second term: a large pro-abortion record and a small approval rating.  Gallup polling finds the president’s first-term approval rating is the lowest of any post-World War II president.

The president’s motorcade was forced to confront pictures of babies victimized by abortion.  The exposure of graphic images was arranged by Created Equal.

On the 40th anniversary of the Roe V Wade decision legalizing all abortion, pro-lifers can celebrate the closure of 1500 abortion clinics over the past 22 years.  There were nearly 2200 abortion clinics in 1991; now there are less than 700 and that number is falling.

Nevertheless, a St. Louis Planned Parenthood abortion business had its fourth botched abortion in recent weeks.  As pro-life advocates tried to document the injuries, clinic staffers attempted to conceal matters.

Over the weekend, what has been billed as the largest pro-life rally in the history of Ireland took place as more than 30,000 pro-life people gathered to hold political leaders accountable for pledging to oppose abortion.
