Obama Approval Sinks to Record-Low 37% as Obamacare Scandal Continues
President Barack Obama’s approval rating has crashed to the lowest level of his presidency as the scandal over Obamacare and millions of Americans losing their health care insurance plans continues. A record 57 percent of Americans disapprove of the job he’s doing.
According to a CBS News poll released Wednesday, 37 percent say they approve of how Obama is doing his job and his approval dropped nine points, from 46 percent in October. Meanwhile, just 49 percent believe Obama is honest and trustworthy — down from 60 percent during his re-election campaign. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/11/20/obama-approval-sinks-to-record-low-37-as-obamacare-scandal-continues/
Obama Awards Presidential Medal of Freedom to Abortion Activist Gloria Steinem
Longtime pro-abortion activist Gloria Steinem today received the highest honor the Untied States can bestow upon a citizen who is not a member of the U.S. military. Obama today awarded sixteen recipients of the Presidential Medal of Freedom and those recipients included abortion activist Gloria Steinem.
The Presidential Medal of Freedom is “presented to individuals who have made especially meritorious contributions to the security or national interests of the United States, to world peace, or to cultural or other significant public or private endeavors,” and Obama apparently believes dedicating one’s life to promoting abortion is a part of that list. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/11/20/obama-awards-presidential-medal-of-freedom-to-abortion-activist-gloria-steinem/
Man Without a Face: Pope Francis Takes Time to Bless Severely Disfigured Man
Two weeks after Pope Francis blessed a disabled man who suffered from growths all over his head and body, the leader of the Catholic Church took the time to bless a severely disfigured man without a face.
The disabled man who made international headlines after Pope Francis blessed him was greatly appreciative of the Pope taking his time to bless him. Now, Pope Francis paused during his weekly audience to greet another disfigured person, showing his sensitivity to the dignity and worth of human life no matter what physical conditions they face. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/11/20/man-without-a-face-pope-francis-takes-time-to-bless-severely-disfigured-man/
Obamacare Insurance Plans in D.C. Cover Abortions But Not Hearing Aids
It’s already difficult enough to figure out which health care plan under Obamacare does or does not pay for abortions with your tax dollars or premiums. Now, new information has surfaced showing some Obamacare plans in the nation’s capital pay for abortions while denying coverage for legitimate health needs like hearing aids or eye care.
As the National Review reports: At least one individual plan available on the D.C. health insurance exchange specifically covers elective abortion but not hearing aids, routine foot-care, and routine eye-care. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/11/20/obamacare-insurance-plans-in-d-c-cover-abortions-but-not-hearing-aids/
 Finally... moral, pro-life fiction that opens hearts and minds! “This is what I was hoping would begin to spring from the Indie World. No way would NYC Corporate Publishing ever allow something with this worldview through.” - a reader. |
Writer: Moms Who Birth Disabled Babies are “Insentient Incubators” Who “Give Birth to a Corpse”
Know anyone who has given birth to a baby with severe disabilities? Parents of such children already face tremendous pressure from doctors, friends and family, and society to have an abortion when confronted with a possible diagnosis of an unborn children with terrible medical problems.
Many parents, and courageous mothers, give birth to such children. Sometimes the diagnosis turns out to be completely mistaken and beautiful healthy children are born who otherwise would have been victimized by abortion. On other occasions, mothers give birth to babies who may not survive long — but who unconditionally love them nonetheless. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/11/20/writer-moms-who-birth-disabled-babies-are-insentient-incubators-who-give-birth-to-a-corpse/
Senate Democrats’ Bill Would Invalidate Law Used to Prosecute Kermit Gosnell
LifeNews has profiled the new bill Senate Democrats have put forward that would invalidate pro-life laws nationwide that either limit abortions or provide protection for women’s health.
But a new report suggests the legislation would go even further — by invalidating the very Pennsylvania state law used to prosecute notorious late-term abortion practitioner Kermit Gosnell.

Catholic College Renews Lawsuit: Don’t Make Us Comply With the HHS Mandate
The Becket Fund for Religious Liberty today filed a lawsuit on behalf of Belmont Abbey College against the Obama administration, citing the HHS mandate requiring the college to provide insurance coverage including contraception, sterilization, and abortion-inducing drugs.
CollegeBelmont Abbey College was the first institution to sue the Obama administration over the HHS mandate in 2011. The judge dismissed the original case citing the administration’s unfulfilled promise to amend the regulations to allow for faith-based exemptions, and thereby deeming the college’s lawsuit premature. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/11/20/catholic-college-renews-lawsuit-dont-make-us-comply-with-the-hhs-mandate/
