Planned Parenthood Must Pay $2 Million Settlement After Killing Woman in Abortion
The Planned Parenthood abortion business has been forced to pay a $2
million settlement to the family of a black teenager it killed in a
botched legal abortion in 2012.
Walter Hoye, a black pro-life leader who has closely followed the case, obtained a copy of the court order awarding the settlement. The settlement document indicates Planned Parenthood of Illinois, Northwestern Memorial Hospital, and Northwestern Medical Faculty Foundation must pay her son Alvin Jones III, who was one at the time of Reaves’ death from the botched legal abortion. http://www.lifenews.com/2014/
Vatican Criticizes UN Report Demanding It Change Its Position on Abortion
Vatican
officials are not happy with the United Nations after a UN committee
issued a blistering report demanding that it change its position on
abortion.
The Vatican says the UN Committee on the Rights of the Child overstepped its mandate in its pro-abortion attack on the Catholic Church. The report published this week by the panel attacked the Catholic Church’s teachings on abortion under the guise of a critique of the Church’s handling of child sex abuse cases. http://www.lifenews.com/2014/

Obama Admin Files Papers to Force Notre Dame to Comply With HHS Mandate
The
Obama administration is not content to force Obamacare on the nation
but it’s also not going to relent
when it comes to religious businesses, schools and organizations that
want to opt out of complying with the HHS mandate, that compels them to
pay for birth control and abortion-causing drugs.

The
Obama administration is fighting the University of Notre Dame’s request
for a reprieve from complying with the HHS mandate and filed papers on
Tuesday with the 7th Circuit Court of Appeals opposing the Catholic
university’s attempt to get out from under it. http://www.lifenews.com/2014/
Wendy Davis’ Web Site Completely Ignores Filibuster for Late-Term Abortions
Wendy
Davis’ lone claim to fame as she campaigns to become the next governor
of Texas is that she filibustered a bill that would stop abortions all
the way up to birth. Davis received national attention for the
pro-abortion publicity stunt — enough to make her essentially the
Democratic nominee in the race that will likely pit her against pro-life
Attorney General Greg Abbott.

However,
instead of highlighting her filibuster to protect killing viable babies
in abortions, Davis appears ashamed of her actions — so much so that
she’s left any mention of the filibuster off her web site. http://www.lifenews.com/2014/
Is the UN’s Attack on the Catholic Church’s Pro-Life Position a Prelude to Persecution?
On Wednesday morning the United Nations Committee on the Rights of the
Child published its Concluding Observations concerning the Catholic
Church’s treatment of children. In this widely-denounced document (see
HLI’s statement here), the Committee chastises the Church for supposedly
ignoring or refusing the rights of children. It called for the Church
to amend Canon Law, to change her unchangeable teaching, and to embrace
secular morality on matters ranging from homosexuality and contraception
to
abortion and gender ideology.
The UN Committee was quite explicit and exhaustive in its expectations: the document is 16 pages long with 67 paragraphs. The Holy See, for its part, was not impressed: http://www.lifenews.com/2014/

Planned Parenthood Hosts Valentines Day Fundraiser, Complete with Condom Dresses
In
the heart of Minneapolis on Thursday, an unusual kind of fashion show
was getting underway. Planned Parenthood of Minnesota, North Dakota,
South Dakota, hosted the event “Ready or Hot: Fashion Meets Passion for
Planned Parenthood,” to celebrate Valentine’s Day and raise funds for an
“excellent cause.”
Here’s how the
organization described it: Ready or Hot: Fashion Meets Passion for
Planned Parenthood is a celebration of love, reproductive health and
fashion just in time for Valentine’s Day. It’s a fundraiser, cleverly
disguised as a dance party and fashion show, with the evening’s
centerpiece a catwalk by some of Planned Parenthood’s coolest cats and
kittens. http://www.lifenews.com/2014/In

NBA Player Paul George Tried To Pay Former Girlfriend to Have an Abortion, She Refused
NBA
player Paul George is the latest sports star to have been found to have
attempted to get his pregnant partner to have an abortion.
Reports surfaced last
year that NBA player J.J. Redick and his then-pregnant ex-girlfriend,
model Vanessa Lopez, had an odd legal contract that called for her to
have an abortion. Reddick would then pay her to pretend to stay in a
relationship. http://www.lifenews.com/2014/NBA
