Text:
The details of the Gosnell murder trial are simply too much to tell-details are at our website.  However, in the latest day of testimony, a woman who worked for Gosnell off the books illegally wept as she told how she participated in the same actions that led to murder charges against Gosnell.

Pope Francis, in one of his first Tweets, said, “true power is service.  The Pope must serve all people, especially the poor, the week, the vulnerable.”  Just prior to his inaugural mass, Francis took time to stop and offer a blessing for a disabled man.  Meanwhile, major media outlets have begun a barrage of criticism of the new Pope. The latest charges say he is “medieval”.

Catholic bishops are turning their attention to US House Republicans, hoping they will place conscience protections to help stop the egregious nature of the HHS mandate that forces employers to pay for most anything that interdicts pregnancy.

Another report from the Financial Times points out China’s demographic problems.  It makes a direct link between China’s aging population and the fact that the number of abortions in China over the last 40 years has exceeded the population of the US.

Text:
Add the name “Nancy Pelosi” to the official US delegation attending the installation March 19 of Pope Francis.  Nancy Pelosi has said not having an abortion could be a death sentence for women; Pope Francis has said abortion is a death penalty for the unborn.

Pro-life advocates oppose ObamaCare because of its abortion provisions.  The Hyde amendment, which must be renewed each year, is like a Dutch boy holding his finger in the dike.  The moment the Hyde amendment is not renewed, ObamaCare prescribes abortion for any pregnancy.  At a gathering of conservatives in DC, Senate leader Mitch McConnell stood next to a pile of papers 20,000 pages high-stacked flat, showing the volume of regulations from ObamaCare.  He pledged Republicans would not give up repealing the measure and cited one report indicating that healthcare premiums will as much as double in the year 2014, which happens to be the next election for the U.S. Senate.

The UN has failed to address violence against women.  Powerful western developed countries held the agreement hostage, demanding international abortion rights in exchange for protections.  Reuters, AP and the New York Times are all falsely saying that some unnamed delegation wanted religious exemptions for violence against women.

Text:
From the day Pope Benedict resigned, much of the media attention focused on those who treated the selection of a new pope as somewhat of a lobbying event, in hopes that a new pope could somehow not be so ardently pro-life.  Pope Francis may have subtly squelched any consideration of such. On his first full day as pope, Francis found a mother carrying an unborn child for his first individual moment of prayer and blessing.

A Florida Republican, considered a possible 2016 presidential candidate, directly took on abortion and the so-called war on women.  Senator Marco Rubio did not mince words saying, “science has proven that life begins at conception.”

In other pro-life news, the trial of Kermit Gosnell gets underway Monday with the prosecution showing the jury evidence from his gruesome Philadelphia abortion business.
Tom Monahan, the founder of Domino’s Pizza, won a preliminary injunction against the HHS mandate protecting his property management firm from participation in a ‘gravely immoral’ practice.
A woman documenting the fourth botched abortion in recent weeks at a Wilmington Planned Parenthood abortion business was attacked by someone coming from the abortion clinic.  Police are investigating and a suspect remains at large.

Text:
The election of a new Pope apparently will set up an interesting meeting between the new Pope Francis, formerly Archbishop Jorge Mario Bergoglio of Argentina, and Vice President Joe Biden, who finds no conflict between his professed Catholic faith and his advocacy of abortion, something Pope Francis has called the “Death Penalty for the Unborn”.

As a leader of Argentinian Catholics, Bergoglio helped steer the church away from essentially Marxism in the form of liberation theology. Liberation theology happens to be a linchpin in the thinking of Catholics who accept abortion as something moral.  He has been seen as a ‘compassionate conservative’ and has shown an aptitude in bridging large philosophical divides.  In Argentina he worked with Catholics and other Christians of Eastern traditions and even his name Francis, chosen in honor of the 11th century Catholic Saint, is an interesting choice for a Jesuit intellectual.

Abby Johnson is taking heat from the abortion industry for her work in helping abortion clinic workers do what she did and quit their jobs.  She calls her work, “And Then There Were None”.

In other news, a party line vote in the U.S. Senate quickly sank the hopes of Senator Ted Cruz of Texas and rejected his attempt to defund ObamaCare for this fiscal year. And a healthy baby boy has been born after another fascinating heart surgery on the child at 23-weeks gestation.

Pro-Life Texas Senator Pledges Up or Down Vote on Defunding ObamaCare, Media Reports-‘Inherent Right to Life’ Obstructionist, A Beckwith Files 50th Lawsuit against HHS Mandate

Text:
The U.S. Senate is scheduled to take up the continuing resolution to fund the federal government for the remainder of the fiscal year.  When it does, newly elected pro-life Senator Ted Cruz of Texas says he is prepared to use any procedural means available to him to force an up or down vote on defunding ObamaCare for the remainder of the fiscal year.

The New York Times is leading a mainstream media charge and they are accusing the Holy See, the Vatican, and pro-life allies of obstructionism.  The battle is at the United Nations and seems to be over a phrase, “inherent right to life”.  That phrase is something the US and European Union nations are trying to strip from United Nations documents like the UN charter and the Universal Declaration on human rights.  Somehow the word “obstructionism” misses the point.

Thomas Beckwith has filed the 50th lawsuit against the HHS mandate requiring employers to pay for government-sponsored interdiction of pregnancy.  What makes his action interesting is that Beckwith’s ancestors came to America in the 1600-hundreds to escape religious persecution and also fought in the Revolutionary war.  The Thomas More Law Center filed the lawsuit in a Florida federal district court.

Text:
The Maryland Board of Physicians is now on record as conducting a preliminary investigation into abortionist LeRoy Carhart who presided over a failed abortion that killed woman after she apparently gave up trying to contact her doctor and went to a hospital emergency room.  The investigation could take six months.
A letter demanding action from Maryland legislators has led to the discovery of another failed abortion ending in the death of the mother, this one in Baltimore.  Another Maryland agency has suspended licenses of three surgical abortion clinics affiliated with abortion business owner Stephen Chase Brigham, apparently including this Baltimore abortion business.

The Health Care Conscience Rights Act is gaining support.  The bill, introduced earlier this month by 66 members of the U.S. House, would essentially nullify the HHS rule written under the authority of ObamaCare which requires most any employer to provide pretty much anything to interdict pregnancy, even contraceptive drugs that cause abortions.  The bishop overseeing the US Catholic bishops’ pro-life efforts is urging Congress to support the bill.

40 Days for Life has saved well over 300 babies from abortion over the last few weeks.  The internationally coordinated effort of prayer and vigil at abortion clinics runs through March 24.

Text:
The horrific case involving Kermit Gosnell and eight counts of murder related to abortion will not have any potential jurors who profess being pro-life.  Six potential jurors who expressed religious, ethical or moral qualms about abortion or the death penalty have been dismissed.

72 members of Congress are asking the Government Accountability Office for information about government money possibly being funneled to Planned Parenthood.  This request follows up on a 2010 GAO report on Planned Parenthood funding that raised more questions than it answered.

The Fourth Circuit Court is quickly becoming one of the next battle grounds against the HHS mandate.  A new amicus brief by a broad range of religious and political legal groups says that ObamaCare’s employer mandate has become the “bludgeon” with which the government feels empowered to cripple the consciences of employers who may take religious exception to paying for the fuzzy collection of contraceptive agents including abortifacient drugs.

Other stories at LifeNews include details of another botched abortion that a Colorado abortion business may be trying to hide, and a UN agreement on violence against women may be scuttled because some member nations are refusing the agenda of abortion advocates.
