House Committee Passes Bill to Completely Ban Taxpayer Funding of Abortions The House Judiciary Committee today approved legislation that will put in place a complete ban on taxpayer funding of abortions that ensures abortions are not directly funded in any federal governmental program or department.
The legislation combines several policies that must be enacted every year in Congressional battles and puts them into law where they will not be in jeopardy of being overturned every time Congress changes hands from pro-life lawmakers to those who support abortions. http://www.lifenews.com/2014/01/15/house-committee-passes-bill-to-completely-ban-taxpayer-funding-of-abortions/
Irony: Kagan Compares Abortion Clinics to Slaughterhouses at Supreme CourtDo pro-life Americans have free speech rights – the right to quietly talk to willing passerby’s on the street corner – or are the public sidewalks surrounding abortion clinics somehow speech free zones impervious to the protections of the First Amendment?
That is the precise question considered by the Supreme Court today in McCullen v. Coakley. http://www.lifenews.com/2014/01/15/irony-kagan-compares-abortion-clinics-to-slaughterhouses-at-supreme-court/

Parents Reject Abortion When Told Their Baby Would Have No Arms or LegsSo often we read stories of couples that when given a pessimistic (or worse) prenatal diagnosis, chose to abort their child. The following is an example of an Illinois couple who took the road less traveled.
When Amanda Perdew was 20 weeks pregnant, she went in for the customary sonogram only to find there was a serious problem with her baby boy. http://www.lifenews.com/2014/01/15/parents-reject-abortion-when-told-their-baby-would-have-no-arms-or-legs/

Supreme Court to Decide if Pro-Life People Have Free Speech at Abortion Clinics
The Supreme Court today is hearing a case regarding a buffer zone outside abortion clinics in the state of Massachusetts. At issue is whether the state has the right to squelch pro-life free speech and prevent pro-life advocates from protesting or offering women information about abortion alternatives.
Today’s oral arguments concerns the constitutionality of a Massachusetts law that creates a 35-foot “buffer zone” restricting pro-life advocates from speaking with people entering abortion facilities. http://www.lifenews.com/2014/01/15/supreme-court-to-decide-if-pro-life-people-have-free-speech-at-abortion-clinics/


Woman Strangles Newborn Son and Watched Him Die, Tosses Him in Trash In a brutal act of infanticide, a Texas woman strangled her newborn son to death and threw him in the trash.
Nidia Alvarado, 25, has been arrested on charges of murder and she told local police she “strangled the baby and watched him die,” according to a news report. Official say the body of the less than one-week-old infant boy was found stuffed in a duffel bag on the intake conveyor belt of a recycling center in San Antonio, Texas just a couple days before Christmas. http://www.lifenews.com/2014/01/15/woman-strangles-newborn-son-and-watched-him-die-tosses-him-in-trash/
Abortionist Under Criminal Investigation for for Not Reporting Child RapeAbortionist Ulrich Klopfer’s legal problems have just gotten worse. After volunteers with Indiana Right to Life filed 1,200 complaints against him for not reporting child sex abuse and other information required by the State, St. Joseph County Prosecutor Mike Dvorak has asked the Special Victim’s Unit to conduct a criminal investigation into the abortionist’s activities.
In addition to the massive number of failure-to-report accusations, it now appears that there is no record that Klopfer has the required admitting privileges to a local hospital or an agreement with a doctor who does at his Gary, Indiana, abortion clinic. http://www.lifenews.com/2014/01/15/abortionist-under-criminal-investigation-for-for-not-reporting-child-rape/
Wendy Davis Campaign Mocks Pro-Lifer Greg Abbott for Being ParalyzedWendy Davis is the pro-abortion candidate for governor in Texas whose sole claim to fame is having filibustered against a bill to ban late-term abortions. Not content to speak out against protecting unborn babies after viability, the Davis campaign is now mocking her pro-life opponent, Greg Abbott, for being paralyzed.
At age 26, Abbott was struck by a falling oak tree that injured his back as he jogged by. He has used a wheelchair ever since and has become an eloquent pro-life advocate — speaking up for both the disabled and the unborn. http://www.lifenews.com/2014/01/15/wendy-davis-campaign-mocks-pro-lifer-greg-abbott-for-being-paralyzed/
