If Pelosi’s a “Practicing Catholic” Why Can’t She Follow Church Abortion Teaching?House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi made more eye-rolling comments yesterday when she called defending legal abortions to the point of opposing a late-term abortion ban “sacred ground.”
“As a practicing and respectful Catholic, this is sacred ground to me when we talk about this,” Pelosi said about efforts to stop late-term abortions. “This shouldn’t have anything to do with politics.” http://www.lifenews.com/2013/06/14/if-pelosis-a-practicing-catholic-why-cant-she-follow-church-abortion-teaching/
White House Won’t Say Obama’s Position on Bill Banning Abortions at 20 WeeksDuring the White House press briefing on Thursday, White House press secretary Jay Carney didn’t answer a question on what position President Barack Obama has on a bill the House will vote on next week to ban abortions after 20 weeks of pregnancy.
Carney essentially referred to Obama’s general position on abortion — supporting all abortions at any time during pregnancy for an reason — when asked if the president has a position on the late-term abortion ban. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/06/14/white-house-wont-say-obamas-position-on-bill-banning-abortions-at-20-weeks/

Pro-Life Help Needed to Push Fetal Pain-Based Abortion BanThe House is expected to vote on H.R. 1797, the Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act, early next week.
3DUltrasound#theyfeelpainYou may have noticed some negative press the past couple days. We we will lose this effort if the pro-abortion lobby gets away with defining the message. The lies are certainly flowing, such as Nancy Pelosi’s whopper yesterday that this bill would ban all abortions. I only wish. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/06/14/pro-life-help-needed-to-push-fetal-pain-based-abortion-ban/
Time to Audit the IRS for Bullying Pro-Life, Conservative GroupsThe famous saying states, “Absolute power corrupts absolutely.” You might say that should be the motto of the Internal Revenue Service. Recently, a scandal has erupted with overwhelming evidence the IRS abused its authority in order to push a biased political agenda. Their corrupt practices resulted in documented harassment and discrimination against conservative groups, including pro-life organizations.
As more details are revealed, the excuses and apologies coming from the federal agency are unconvincing. It’s become clear that this wasn’t just a few isolated incidents, but rather a full-fledged assault in an attempt to use its power to silence pro-life voices.http://www.lifenews.com/2013/06/14/time-to-audit-the-irs-for-bullying-pro-life-conservative-groups/
