Supreme Court Won’t Stop Texas Law Closing Abortion Clinics
Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia issued an opinion today indicating the Supreme Court will not get involved in a case out of Texas that has abortion facilities there appealing a law that has closed numerous abortion clinics that can’t protect women’s health.
In a big victory for pro-life advocates in Texas earlier this month, the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals overturned Judge Lee Yeakel of the Western District Court in Austin and restored key portions of a pro-life law in Texas that will ultimately stop abortions and could close abortion clinics. Abortion clinics appealed that decision to the Supreme Court and Justice Scalia issued a ruling today saying the high court will not get involved. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/11/19/supreme-court-wont-intervene-on-texas-law-closing-abortion-clinics/
World Watches Albuquerque, New Mexico: Will It Ban Abortions After Five Months?
After months of a fierce campaign between pro-life advocates and abortion campaigners, who have poured hundreds of thousands of dollars into keeping late-term abortions legal, voters in Albuquerque, New Mexico decide today whether or not they will ban abortions after five months.
The ban would have far-reaching effects, as it would prohibit abortions at Southwestern Women’s Options, a notorious late-term abortion facility that kills unborn babies by shooting them through the heart with poison. It is considered the largest late-term abortion facility in the United States. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/11/19/world-watches-albuquerque-new-mexico-will-it-ban-abortions-after-five-months/

Obama Leaves Out “Under God” in Recitation of Gettysburg Address
President Barack Obama has a history of downplaying thanks to God at important occasions and new reports indicate he did it again during a recitation of the Gettysburg Address.
According to a report in Brietbart News, Obama omitted the words “under God” from the Gettysburg Address when reciting speech for a documentary historian Ken Burns was making.
