New Planned Parenthood Report: 149 Abortions for Every Adoption Referral
The latest Planned Parenthood annual report has been released and the staggering numbers continue to show Planned Parenthood is merely an abortion business.

The report indicates a high percentage of pregnant women are going to Planned Parenthood get abortions while a handful get prenatal support or adoption referrals. The report shows 149 abortions for every adoption referral Planned Parenthood makes.

Time Magazine Names Pope Francis Its 2013 Person of the Year
Time Magazine has named Pope Francis its 2013 Person of the Year, following a year in which the leader of the Catholic Church distinguished himself as not only a vocal pro-life advocate but a compassionate one.The decision makes sense, as Pope Francis has already been suggested as a possible Nobel Peace Prize recipient.

“With a focus on compassion, the leader of the Catholic Church has become a new voice of conscience,” the magazine said. “Once there was a boy so meek and modest, he was awarded a Most Humble badge. The next day, it was taken away because he wore it. Here endeth the lesson.” http://www.lifenews.com/2013/12/11/time-magazine-names-pope-francis-its-2013-person-of-the-year/

Congresswoman’s Miracle Baby Home for Christmas After Doctors Said She’d Die
When she was pregnant with her daughter Abigail Rose Beutler, doctors told Congresswoman Jaime Herrera Beutler, a pro-life Republican from Washington state, that her baby had a potentially fatal diagnosis that would claim her life shortly after birth.

Beutler posted a message on Facebook in June saying her unborn child had been diagnosed with Potter’s Syndrome, a condition which prevents the child’s kidneys from developing properly and is typically fatal for the baby. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/12/11/congresswomans-miracle-baby-home-for-christmas-after-doctors-said-shed-die/

Planned Parenthood Report: $540 Million in Tax Dollars, 327,000 Abortions
Today Planned Parenthood Federation of America (PPFA) released its 2012-2013 annual report.

In response, the national pro-life group Susan B. Anthony List has released a fact sheet on the information, revealing that while Planned Parenthood’s abortion rate declined by 2 percent, abortions still accounted for 93.8 percent of Planned Parenthood’s pregnancy services. Prenatal care services dropped 32 percent in one year, and 52 percent since 2009. Adoption referrals are also down 4.5 percent in one year. For every adoption referral, Planned Parenthood performed 149 abortions. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/12/11/planned-parenthood-report-540-million-in-tax-dollars-327000-abortions/



Sebelius Refuses to List Which Obamacare Plans Fund Abortion
HHS Secretary Kathleen Sebelius told Congress in October that she “didn’t know” if Obamacare health care plans force Americans to pay for abortions, despite evidence that many plans will force enrollees to fund abortions.

Although Americans will definitely fund abortions under Obamacare, the top health care official didn’t know that was the case. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/12/11/sebelius-refuses-to-list-which-obamacare-plans-fund-abortion/

Pope Francis Has Been a Consistent Pro-Life Leader, Period
I invite you to keep the attention of everyone on the important issue of respect for human life from the moment of conception. - Pope Francis at the Rome March for Life,

I continue to love the current pontiff, Pope Francis. This adoration continues even after hearing the liberal magazine Time (who knew they still published?) has named Pope Francis as Time’s Man of the Year. The beauty I see in Pope Francis is that everyone seems to view him through their own eyes. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/12/11/pope-francis-consistent-pro-life-record-makes-him-person-of-the-year-worthy/

Open Heart Surgery Patient: Pray for Me, I Am Losing My Insurance Due to Obamacare
JJim Hoft is a well-known and highly-regarded conservative writer and blogger who frequently covers pro-life issues at his blog Gateway Pundit, based in St. Louis, Missouri.

In August, Jim became very sick and thought he had a cold. After losing vision in one eye, he checked himself into a hospital and eventually found how he was suffering from Strep bacteria poisoning his bloodstream. The bacteria eventually left him unable to see in his left eye, it created a hole in his heart and caused him to suffer five strokes.

Planned Parenthood Looks to Exploit Women, Make Millions With Abortifacient IUDs
In 2005, after the FDA under President George W. Bush resisted liberal pressure to make the hormonal emergency contraceptive Plan B available over-the-counter, Planned Parenthood was furious, claiming unfettered access to hormonal ECs would cut the number of abortions in America by a whopping 67%, from 1.2 million annually to 400,000. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/12/11/planned-parenthood-looks-to-exploit-women-make-millions-with-abortifacient-iuds/
