IRS Caught on Tape Telling Nonprofit: “Keep Your Faith to Yourself”
The IRS scandal is deepening as a new tape has been released today showing a disturbing phone call the Internal Revenue Service placed to a non-profit organization.

Alliance Defending Freedom, a pro-life legal group, made the audio available today of IRS officials telling a group that provides support to women in abusive pregnancy situations to keep its faith to itself. In the recorded phone conversation, an IRS agent lectures the president of the organization about forcing its religion and beliefs on others and inaccurately explains that the group must remain neutral on issues such as abortion. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/06/10/irs-caught-on-tape-telling-nonprofit-keep-your-faith-to-yourself/

Botched Abortion Leaves Baby’s Head Inside Mother’s Womb, Lawsuit Filed
A woman who was victimized by a botched abortion is filing suit against the abortion practitioner who left her unborn baby’s head inside of her after the failed abortion.

Alliance Defending Freedom and the Family Policy Council of West Virginia are representing a West Virginia woman in a lawsuit against the Women’s Health Center of West Virginia abortion facility and abortion practitioner Rodney Lee Stephens of Charleston. In the lawsuit, Itai Gravely claims Stephens forced her to proceed with an abortion against her will and then left her baby’s head in her womb. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/06/10/botched-abortion-leaves-babys-head-inside-mothers-womb-lawsuit-filed/
House Committee Votes Wednesday on Bill Banning Abortions at 20 Weeks
The full House Judiciary Committee will vote on Wednesday on a Congressional bill that would ban abortions nationwide at 20 weeks of pregnancy.
Last week, the House Judiciary Subcommittee on the Constitution and Civil Justice voted on a party-line vote 6-4 for the bill, with Republicans supporting the ban on late-term abortions and Democrats opposing it.
30th Abortion Clinic Closes in 2013 After Killing Woman in Abortion
Nova Women’s Healthcare, a Fairfax, Virginia, abortion clinic with a history of botched abortions and at least one patient death, will be forced to close at the end of June.

This closure is one of 30 abortion clinics to close in 2013 alone, more than doubling the number of closures over all of last year. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/06/10/30th-abortion-clinic-closes-in-2013-after-killing-woman-in-abortion/


Mom With Kidney Failure Refuses Abortion, Gives Birth to Miracle Baby
Grace Anslow became pregnant at the same time she was receiving treatment for end-stage kidney failure. The medical condition should have made it so she was very unlikely to be able to conceive a baby, but Anslow became pregnant.

Doctors told Anslow that her pregnancy could result in losing her life as well as that of her unborn child, but the 19-year-old woman decided not to have an abortion that would certainly destroy her baby’s life. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/06/09/parents-of-sick-kids-forced-to-reject-abortion-and-euthanasia-suggestions/
Number of Planned Parenthood Clinics Drops 23% Since 1995 as Two More Close
I was researching something last week and stumbled on an announcement by Planned Parenthood of Northeast, Mid-Penn & Bucks County in Pennsylvania that it was shuttering its Carlisle clinic.
This is not an abortion mill; it is what pro-lifers call a “feeder” – a conduit to PP abortion mills. But its closure is still a boon for the health and welfare of that community. And Planned Parenthood’s political influence will be removed from the area. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/06/10/number-of-planned-parenthood-clinics-drops-23-since-1995-as-two-more-close/
Obamacare Forcing Insurance Companies to Cover Hundreds of Planned Parenthoods
When Congress approved Obamacare, pro-life groups warned the abortion industry would benefit. Now that the implementation stage of Obamacare is in full swing, new reports show hundreds of Planned Parenthood abortion businesses will be covered under it.
Sebelius Fundraising for Obamacare May Have Violated Ethics Rules
The huge push to implement Obamacare has begun and taxpayers are about to be on the hook for taxpayer-funded abortions or funding the Planned Parenthood abortion business. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/06/10/sebelius-fundraising-for-obamacare-may-have-violated-ethics-rules/

Sixty Abortion Clinic Workers Have Quit in the Last Year
What an absolutely incredible first year it has been for And Then There Were None! We are truly in awe about how God has used our ministry to do some incredible things. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/06/10/sixty-abortion-clinic-workers-have-quit-in-the-last-year/

50 Vetoes: How States Can Stop Obamacare Before 2014
Despite surviving a number of threats, President Obama’s health care law remains harmful, unstable, and unpopular. It also remains vulnerable to repeal, largely because Congress and the Supreme Court have granted each state the power to veto major provisions of the law before they take effect in 2014. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/06/10/50-vetoes-how-states-can-stop-obamacare-before-2014/
Why Do “Pro-Choice” People Attack Moms Who Don’t Want to Abort Disabled Babies?
After the horrific massacre in Newtown, I remember watching a news segment that asked where the increase in sociopathic behavior was coming from. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/06/10/why-do-pro-choice-people-attack-moms-who-dont-want-to-abort-disabled-babies/
Former Miss America: There is No Republican “War on Women”
If Republicans had engaged in a so-called “War on Women,” surely a former Miss America winner would know about it. As a spokeswoman for women, Miss America represents both the interests of women and the United States on an international level. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/06/10/former-miss-america-there-is-no-republican-war-on-women/

Child of Anonymous Sperm Donor Wants Right to Know Biological Parents
It is undeniable that we humans have an innate desire to know from whom we came. Many people who are adopted or have only one parent will tell you that they feel they are missing a piece of a puzzle.. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/06/10/child-of-anonymous-sperm-donor-wants-right-to-know-biological-parents/
A Right to Abort But Not to Give Birth? Peter Singer’s Extremism
I have noticed over the years that many bioethics death pro choicers (autonomy) actually envision the right as a one way street; a right to die but not a right to live. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/06/10/a-right-to-abort-but-not-to-give-birth-peter-singers-extremism/
The Obamacare Death Panels Have Begun for Disabled Children
