Obama Threatens to Veto Bill Banning Abortions After 20 Weeks
President Barack Obama has issued a veto threat of a bill the House of Representatives will vote on tomorrow that would ban abortions from after 20-weeks* all the way to birth.

The White House this afternoon issued a Statement of Administration Policy indicating President Obama’s advisors would recommend that he veto the Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act if it were presented for his signature. The SAP containing a veto threat is standard for occasions when the president will almost certainly veto legislation pending in Congress. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/06/17/obama-threatens-to-veto-bill-banning-abortions-after-20-weeks/
Pro-Life Group: Anyone Voting Against 20-Week Abortion Ban Supports Gosnell
Congress will vote tomorrow on a bill that bans abortions after 20-weeks of pregnancy, and one pro-life group says members of the House that vote against it are associating themselves with Kermit Gosnell.

Gosnell is the abortion practitioner who was convicted on multiple counts of first-degree murder for late-term abortions that were essentially infanticides. The Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act (H.R. 1797) would ban such abortions — in fact banning abortions from 20 weeks up to the day of birth. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/06/17/pro-life-group-anyone-voting-against-20-week-abortion-ban-supports-gosnell/
Democrat Party Chair: Bill Banning Abortion Up to Birth is “Extreme”
The House of Representatives will vote tomorrow on a bill that bans abortions nationally starting at 20 weeks of pregnancy, including babies at viability and all the way to the day of birth.
But the chair of the Democratic Party tweeted today against the ban, calling it extreme. Naturally, Congresswoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz of Florida, the chair of the Democratic National Committee, didn’t tweet that she thinks abortions ought to remain legal until the day before birth — but that’s the position her opposition to the late-term abortion ban puts her on record as having. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/06/17/democrat-party-chair-bill-banning-abortion-up-to-birth-is-extreme/
New York Governor Andrew Cuomo’s Radical Abortion Bill Dies
Two weeks after giving birth to her second child, Julia Schoch received an email that would forever change her life. It was February, 2003, and she was at home recovering from a C-section with her husband, her two-year-old son, and her newborn daughter when her husband Andy told her she had an email that she needed to see immediately. It was from a friend who knew of a 13-year-old pregnant rape victim who needed help. It turned out that Julia was exactly the help this girl and her baby needed.

“It’s one of those kind of bizarre God stories,” explains Julia. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/06/17/new-york-governor-andrew-cuomos-radical-abortion-bill-dies/


Head of Obama Agency That Funded Abortions for Illegal Immigrants Quits
The head of an Obama administration agency that used taxpayer dollars to pay for abortions for illegal immigrants has resigned his position.

New Komen President Headed Group Responsible for Obama’s HHS Mandate

IRS Scandal and HHS Mandate: Government’s War Against Pro-Lifers
If anything has been made clear in the ongoing Internal Revenue Service scandal, it’s that this is bigger than the work of one or two partisans. Rather, it is indicative of a mindset within agencies which says, “We know what’s best for you.”. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/06/17/irs-scandal-and-hhs-mandate-governments-war-against-pro-lifers/
