Obama refuses to change contraception mandate for religious institutions.
The Obama administration announces that it will not expand an exemption for religious groups that object to its requirement for health insurance plans to cover sterilization and contraception – including abortion-causing drugs – free of charge.

Archbishop Dolan speaks out against HHS rule, calls for action.
Archbishop Timothy Dolan of New York, president of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB), sharply criticized the Obama administration as it “ordered almost every employer and insurer in the country to provide sterilization and contraceptives, including some abortion-inducing drugs, in their health plans.”

Obama Administration’s birth control mandate panned.
On Friday, the Obama Administration re-iterated the “contraceptive mandate” requiring all insurance providers cover the full range of FDA-approved drugs and devices would remain intact; this includes drugs that work after conception to destroy life rather than prevent it. The statement included a postponement of one year for religious groups that do not already carry contraceptives and additionally would not be exempted under last year’s narrow definition of “religious employer.”

Planned Parenthood: 332,278 murders -- at taxpayer expense, your expense.
Planned Parenthood’s abortion business continues to boom – to the tune of more than a billion dollars in net assets. As if that weren’t shocking enough, a closer examination of the abortion giant’s latest annual report reveals even more troubling issues – like more than $100 million in previous underreporting of taxpayer funding and a distortion of just how “comprehensive” is PP's care.

Gosnell’s illegal and unorthodox practices resulted in the birth and then killing of many viable, live babies.
Killing really had to be part of Gosnell’s plan. His method for performing late-term abortions was to induce labor and delivery of intact babies, and he specialized in patients who were well beyond 24 weeks. Thus, the birth of live, viable babies was a natural and predictable consequence.

The year 2012 is now upon us -- this new year will be the most important year in the pro-life struggle since abortion-on-demand was first made legal!

There are two very different ways that this very important year can end up. On the one hand, we could see a pro-life president inaugurated, taking office along with a pro-life Congress, which will then begin to address the failings of ObamaCare.

On the other hand, Barack Hussein Obama -- along with his radically pro-abortion administration -- could be re-elected. This means full implementation of ObamaCare, with its special abortion tax, health care rationing, forced participation in abortions by medical professionals, all among other things
