This is what it comes down to. The great pro-life battle of our generation. De-funding Planned Parenthood. And the President is taking sides with evil. [Life News] President Barack Obama would veto the House-approved long-term spending bill for the federal government that contains the Pence Amendment, a measure that would de-fund the Planned Parenthood abortion business. Because of that provision and other pro-life riders that stop abortion funding globally and in the District of Columbia, the Washington Times indicates “Obama has issued a veto threat on that bill, saying House Republicans’ cuts are unacceptable.” “Senate Democrats said the non-spending provisions...

WASHINGTON (AP) -- After stunning colleagues by recalling that she once had an abortion, Democratic Rep. Jackie Speier of California made clear Friday that the procedure was not something she welcomed and was done because the baby was not going to survive. Speier, first elected in 2008, took to the House floor on Thursday evening during a debate over stripping funding to Planned Parenthood.

We all know that Congresswoman Nancy Pelosi is not the smartest person: she helped Democrats to the largest defeat they've suffered in decades, she blamed Bush for the Democrats losing the House, and stated that the U.S. government "saved $26.8 billion by spending $82 billion." Therefore, it should come at no surprise that Pelosi would be dead-set against a Republican bill in Congress that would try to save thousands of babies' lives. HR 358 prohibits women who want abortions from getting it paid for by ObamaCare. It makes sense: deciding to have unnecessary or elective surgery should not be funded....

MADRID, October 12, 2010 (LifeSiteNews.com) - According to Spanish Equality Minister Bibiana Aído, unborn human children are not human beings. In response to a formal inquiry made on the subject of abortion by a Spanish parliamentarian, Aído said last week that "the Government cannot share in the affirmation that the interruption of a pregnancy is the elimination of the life of a human being." "Having an abortion does not suppose that a human life is terminated, because there does not exist a unanimous opinion regarding the concept of a human being ... because 'human life' refers to a complex concept...

WASHINGTON, D.C. – (8/31/10) – AUL President and CEO Dr. Charmaine Yoest called the decision by the Department of Justice to appeal an injunction of federal funding for embryonic stem cell research “not surprising, but not the biggest story here.” “Adult stem cell research has yielded incredible, life-giving results for people with many diseases and disabilities, while the stem cell lines created by destroying unborn children has provided little hope for those suffering,” Yoest noted. “Media reports indicate that more than $100 million in federal funds has been wasted on embryonic stem cell research in the last year alone. With...

The Kenyan president wants a new constitution, one that opens the door to abortion on demand. President Obama is willing to use U.S. taxpayer dollars to persuade voters to approve the updated governing document, which would loosen regulations designed to protect the unborn, establish Muslim family courts and create a right to homosexual marriage. It's not unusual that Kenyan President Mwai Kibaki would see enactment of the provisions as a "government project," but Mr. Obama is on shaky legal ground when he commits U.S. government resources to it. On Aug. 4, Kenya's 12.3 million registered voters will be asked a...

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has had a long week. She's had to explain to donors why White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs is predicting she'll lose her gavel in the fall, pressure the White House to pay enough attention to House races, and also calm members and end the party infighting. Thursday night, she got a break. At an event hosted by Planned Parenthood on Capitol Hill, Pelosi received rock-star treatment from 300 energetic high-school and college-student volunteers clad in hot-pink T-shirts and flip flops. The students came to Washington from around the country to lobby lawmakers on the implementation...

Not too long ago President Obama was willing to say or do anything to get more Democrats to vote for his massive government health care bill.  He took people on special Air Force One trips, promised rewards, and did his best to utilize Machiavellian tactics.  The pro-life Democrats needed special handling. Obama was willing to not only promise but even sign an executive order stating that Obamacare would not subsidize abortions.  Well feel free to put that document in the shredder.  Promise officially broken.A couple of weeks ago the Obama administration announced they would be sending $160 million to Pennsylvania...

EDITORIAL: Obamacare abortions on tap Pennsylvania program pays the piper By THE WASHINGTON TIMES 6:56 p.m., Tuesday, July 13, 2010Where have you gone, Bart Stupak? Even more importantly, where is your voice, Kathy Dahlkemper?These Democrats - from Michigan and Pennsylvania respectively - were two of the final six supposedly pro-life House members who voted to pass Obamacare.
