Obama’s Not Really Sorry Obamacare’s Making Americans Lose Insurance
NBC News’s Chief White House Correspondent Chuck Todd is hardly one of us nor is he a reporter looking for opportunities to hammer President Obama. In fact, most of the time, Todd excels at making up excuses for Mr. Obama, no matter how far-fetched.

But the fiasco which is the rollout of ObamaCare’s health insurance exchanges—the near impossibility of getting on the website and the truth that millions of people are going to lose the insurance they want—has even Todd in a cranky mood. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/11/08/obamas-not-really-sorry-obamacares-making-americans-lose-insurance/

Two-Thirds of Americans, Women Want Painful Abortions on Unborn Babies Banned
In June, the U.S. House of Representatives voted 228-196 in favor of the Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act. On Thursday, Sen. Lindsey Graham, South Carolina Republican, announced that he would introduce the bill in the U.S. Senate.

Appearing on “Fox News Sunday” last weekend, Mr. Graham noted that protecting pain-capable unborn children from the horror of abortion “is a debate worthy of a great democracy.” http://www.lifenews.com/2013/11/08/two-thirds-of-americans-women-want-painful-abortions-on-unborn-babies-banned/

Hundreds of Babies Died in Abortions After Hospital Botches Miscarriage Scans
Hundreds of women seeing doctors at University Hospital of Wales likely wound up having abortions after botched scans showed their unborn children had supposedly died in a miscarriage. A newspaper report indicates staff at this teaching hospital in the U.K. gave women outdated scans that falsely indicated they had miscarried and then failed to make routine checks to verify the scans.

Emily Wheatley, 31 and pictured below, almost went through an abortion herself after a scan indicated her bay had died in a miscarriage but she had second thoughts and went to another hospital that verified her tiny tot was alive and kicking. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/11/08/hundreds-of-babies-died-in-abortions-after-hospital-botches-miscarriage-scans/

Fetal Pain is Not Why Abortion is Wrong, But It’s a Great Reason to Ban Abortions
Today, Senator Lindsey Graham introduced the Pain Capable Unborn Child Protection Act, which would ban abortion after 20 weeks gestation nationwide.

Sen. Graham acknowledges from the outset that the bill stands little chance of passing in the Senate at the moment, but stated that he believes it is important to promote debate on the topic among our nation’s leaders because, “the state, the government has a legitimate interest to protect the child at the 20-week period of development, because they can feel pain. That’s what a rational humane society should do.” http://www.lifenews.com/2013/11/08/fetal-pain-is-not-why-abortion-is-wrong-but-its-a-great-reason-to-ban-abortions/

Texas Right to Life Endorses Pro-Life Greg Abbott Over Abortion Activist Wendy Davis
Texas Right to Life’s Political Action Committee today announced it has endorsed Attorney General Greg Abbott as the next Governor of Texas. Abbott, assuming he wins the Republican nomination, would likely face pro-abortion state lawmaker Wendy Davis, known for her filibuster against a bill banning late-term abortions.

“As Attorney General, Greg Abbott has achieved a decade of defending Pro-Life laws and provisions, and his many legal opinions from the Office of the Attorney General have resulted in increased protections on the sanctity of human life,” Texas Right to Life said in a statement LifeNews received. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/11/08/texas-right-to-life-endorses-pro-life-greg-abbott-over-abortion-activist-wendy-davis/

President Obama’s Political Group Calls Ban on Abortions at 20 Weeks “Pretty Scary”
So I’ve been made aware of an article on a website called Mommyish, 10 Reasons to Have an Abortion — Illustrated by Adorable Cats, and written by Eve Vawter.

Let’s be honest here. Most of her reasons are without substance, so the cat pictures are there to make her argument more emotionally compelling so that you don’t notice the flawed reasoning (after all, why would you post cat pictures in an article talking about the death of human beings in an attempt to be “cute,” especially if you recognize that most women don’t make the abortion decision lightly and since most of the cat pictures don’t even illustrate the reason they are included with?). http://www.lifenews.com/2013/11/08/president-obamas-political-group-calls-ban-on-abortions-at-20-weeks-pretty-scary/
