Obama Administration Returns to Earlier Conscience Protections For Health Workers
By David Gibson - Politics DailyThe Obama administration on Friday reversed most of the provisions of controversial federal conscience-protection regulations that were instituted by George W. Bush at the end of his presidency, thereby leaving Bush's successor with a politically difficult decision that would alienate either abortion rights supporters or opponents, or both. The Bush administration had pushed the 11th-hour regulations through in December 2008, despite President-elect Obama's vow to rescind them; when Obama came into office, he instead said he would have the Department of Health and Human Services review the ...
Justin Bieber: 'I Really Don't Believe in Abortion'
By Matt Lewis - Politics DailyIt finally happened: I'm writing about Justin Bieber. In case you've been waiting to find out what he thinks about abortion, Rolling Stone asked him: "I really don't believe in abortion," Bieber told the magazine. "It's like killing a baby?" When asked about abortion in cases of incest or rape, he answered: "Um. Well, I think that's really sad, but everything happens for a reason. I guess I haven't been in that position, so I wouldn't be able to judge that." Steven Ertelt over at LifeNews.com asked some pro-lifers what they think of the news: Erik Whittington of Rock for Life, a ...

Planned Parenthood Hoax [VIDEO]
By Mary Phillips-Sandy - AOL NewsLast month a Planned Parenthood in New Jersey called the FBI to report its hunch that anti-abortion operatives were visiting the clinic and posing as sex traffickers in order to entrap clinic staff. Today that hunch was proved correct. An anti-abortion group called Live Action has posted video of its scam, in which group members pretend to be a prostitute and a pimp seeking information about STD testing for underage Asian girls. Watch: If posing as a pimp while shooting undercover video sounds familiar, that's because it's the same technique conservative activist James O'Keefe used in ...
Abortion Foes Have High Hopes for New Congress -- and for 2012
By David Gibson - Politics DailyAs abortion opponents prepare for their annual March for Life on the Mall in Washington on Monday, pro-life activists are revitalized by the prospect of a Republican-dominated House they view as friendlier to their agenda than at any time since the Jan. 22, 1973 Supreme Court decision that legalized abortion. For example, new House leader John Boehner has said he wants to be "the most pro-life speaker ever" and New Jersey Republican Chris Smith, co-chair of the Congressional Pro-life Caucus, called this "the arguably most pro-life House ever," a judgment with which many abortion opponents ...

Here is Santorum's controversial quote: "The question is (and this is what Barack Obama didn't want to answer): Is that [unborn] human life a 'person' under the Constitution? And Barack Obama says no. Well if ...

2010 Elections and Pro-Life Women: A Correction for Modern Feminism
By Marjorie Dannenfelser - Politics DailyThe 2010 elections represent not just a good result for pro-life female candidates, but a good result for all women. The reason is simple: Since 1992, which liberal groups dubbed the Year of the Woman, elected women in Congress have represented the views of pro-choice activists, not the views of American women. On November 2, that imbalance dramatically shifted toward the pro-life side of the scale, and it is just the beginning. More than sheer numbers are involved, but the numbers alone are compelling. They underscore first and foremost that, as good as this election cycle was for fiscal ...
