Obamacare’s Pro-Abortion HHS Mandate Marks One Year Anniversaryd
The pro-abortion mandate that is a part of Obamacare marks its one-year anniversary today — forcing religious groups to pay for birth control and drugs that may cause abortions. Enforcement of the mandate is expected to begin in January.
The mandate went into effect last year on August 1 and the very minimal religious protections were set to go into effect today, but they will be implemented and enforcement will take place starting on January 1. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/08/01/obamacares-pro-abortion-hhs-mandate-goes-into-effect-today/
42nd Abortion Clinic Closed This Year Due to Filthy, Unsafe Conditions
The North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services announced Wednesday that it has suspended the license of Femcare, an abortion clinic in Asheville, for two dozen serious health and safety violations discovered during a routine inspection on July 18 and 19th.
This action comes just two days after Gov. Pat McCrory signed a law that will require abortion clinics to meet the standards of an outpatient surgery center. Ironically, it was thought that Femcare would be the only North Carolina abortion clinic to meet safety standards under the new law, but it seems it that thinking was grossly in error. Femcare was last inspected 6½ years ago. The closure is not directly related to the new law. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/08/01/42nd-abortion-clinic-closed-this-year-due-to-filthy-unsafe-conditions/

IRS Harassment of Pro-Life Groups Continues Despite Claims to Contrary
Today, the Thomas More Society has submitted an updated second memorandum to Congressman Aaron Schock (IL-18) of the House Committee on Ways and Means, detailing additional evidence of continued IRS targeting of pro-life organizations.
Despite claims by the Obama Administration that the harassment has ceased, the Society produced over 250 pages of documentation showing that the federal government is still interrogating pro-life groups beyond the scope of its legal authority, infringing upon these organizations’ First Amendment rights of assembly, free speech, and religious liberty. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/08/01/irs-harassment-of-pro-life-groups-continues-despite-claims-to-contrary/

De-Funding Obamacare Would be a Pro-Life Victory, But HHS Mandate Would Remain
Senators Ted Cruz, Mike Lee, and Marco Rubio are making waves as they lead the charge to de-fund the Affordable Care Act (ACA) in Congress. The Senators propose that Congress pass a continuing resolution to fund the entire government except for the ACA.

Pro-life Americans including those at Americans United for Life commend their efforts because de-funding the ACA is an excellent step toward undermining this law, which is the greatest expansion of abortion since Roe v. Wade. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/08/01/de-funding-obamacare-would-be-a-pro-life-victory-but-hhs-mandate-would-remain/
The Ten Dumbest Things Said in Defense of Abortion
The past few years haven’t been great for abortion.
More and more people are calling themselves pro-life, including more young Americans than ever before. Pro-life laws are being passed in record numbers each year. While it would be foolish to say that pro-lifers are winning the war on abortion, it wouldn’t be wrong to say that we’re making progress — and that has the pro-aborts panicking. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/08/01/the-ten-dumbest-things-said-in-defense-of-abortion/
Planned Parenthood Abortion Giant Closes Clinics in Texas Today
