Fresh from his grossly sexual tweets attacking pro-life Vice Presidential candidate Paul Ryan and his wife Janna, American Pie actor Jason Biggs is not targeting Ann Romney, wife of the presidential nominee. On Wednesday, Biggs sent out two very crude sexually suggestive tweets late last night attacking pro-life vice-presidential candidate Paul Ryan and his wife Janna. While Republicans are accused of a so-called War on Women because of their pro-life positions, liberal actors like Biggs actually engage in one. Read MoreDemocratic Chair: Pro-Life Women at GOP Convention Just “Shiny Packaging”
In a slap in the face to pro-life women nationwide, the pro-abortion head of the Democratic party, Debbie Wasserman Schultz, called the pro-life women who spoke at the Republican convention this week nothing more than “shiny packaging.” “I think we believe that women can see through that nice shiny packaging that the Republicans have been putting out there, through to what’s inside, which is really a disaster for women’s future, extreme policies,” Wasserman Schultz said in a press conference with pro-abortion activist Sandra Fluke. Read MoreRomney Opposes Pro-Abortion “Health of the Mother” Exception
This past week, erroneous news reports surfaced making it appear Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney supports the pro-abortion “health exception” that pro-life groups understand allows for virtually unlimited abortions. The reports came after a CBS News interview during which Romney misspoke and added the word “health” to his position on abortion when talking about the very rare exceptions to his pro-life view opposing 99 percent of the abortions done in the United States on an annual basis.

The following is a section from the Catholics in Alliance for the Common Good voter guide published on its web site. I have offered some interlinear commentary in BOLD — the entire document is typical of the spin put on Catholic social teaching by groups that support pro-abortion Catholic politicians. To begin with, this pro-life section follows, rather than precedes, a section on “The Economy”! Read MoreRomney Family Friend Brings GOP to Tears, He Prayed With Disabled Daughter
Pam Finlayson, a friend of the Romneys, shared a story at the GOP convention on Thursday night that brought the hall to tears. Republicans were crying listening to this story about how Mitt Romney supported her family through the long process of having an ill newborn. “As I sat with her in intensive care, consumed with a mother’s worry and fear, dear Mitt came to visit and pray with me,” Pam said. Her full remarks appear below. See the video here.

Romney to Hit Back Against False War on Women in Speech
The campaign of presidential candidate Mitt Romney released excerpts of his nomination acceptance speech tonight and, in it, Romney hits back at the false War on Women attack launched by Democrats and abortion activists. “My mom and dad were true partners, a life lesson that shaped me by everyday example. When my mom ran for the Senate, my dad was there for her every step of the way. I can still hear her saying in her beautiful voice, “Why should women have any less say than men, about the great decisions facing our nation?” Read the Full Text and view the video Read MoreVice-Presidential Candidate Paul Ryan Stresses Pro-Life Themes
Last night, during his speech to the Republican convention, vice-presidential candidate Paul Ryan sounded pro-life themes as he talked about the respect and dignity of human life. “Our different faiths come together in the same moral creed. We believe that in every life there is goodness; for every person, there is hope. Each one of us was made for a reason, bearing the image and likeness of the Lord of Life,” Ryan said. Read MoreMike Huckabee Hits Home Run at GOP Tagging Obama on Abortion
In a very-well-accepted speech to the Republican convention, former Republican presidential candidate tagged pro-abortion President Barack Obama on issues ranging from is support for infanticide to his imposition of the HHS mandate violating the pro-life views of Catholics. Huckabee said Obama “believes that human life is disposable and expendable at any time in the womb or even beyond the womb, and tells people of faith that they must bow their knees to the god of government and violate their faith and conscience in order to comply with what he calls health care.” Read MoreSandra Fluke, Pro-Abortion Democratic Chair Crash GOP Convention
Pro-abortion activist Sandra Fluke and pro-abortion Democratic National Committee (DNC) Chair and Florida Congresswoman Debbie Wasserman Shultz crashed the Republican convention on Thursday afternoon. Leading up to the nomination acceptance speech from Mitt Romney, Fluke and Wasserman Schultz somehow made it through security and into the convention center to speak to members of the press. Reporters surrounded Schultz to get her take on the GOP convention. She made a brief statement to the press and walked to the Google-sponsored bloggers lounge where press members also are found.

Paul Ryan yesterday delivered remarks to the Republican National Convention in Tampa, Florida. The following remarks were prepared for delivery: Mr. Chairman, delegates, and fellow citizens: I am honored by the support of this convention for vice president of the United States. I accept the duty to help lead our nation out of a jobs crisis and back to prosperity – and I know we can do this. Read MorePlanned Parenthood Activist: GOP Women Are “Baby-Making Machines”
One activist at a Planned Parenthood rally outside the GOP convention summed up the abortion businesses’ feeling about pro-life women who don’t buy into their abortion mantra by calling women “baby making machines.” “They have so many kids,” the liberal woman lamented. Another woman said millions of women are voting Republican in November for Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan “because their husbands told them too.” Read MoreTags: pro-life, New To share or post to your site, click on "Post Link".

America has never had a more pro-abortion President than Barack Obama. In another time, Obama’s views on late abortions and on eliminating virtually all current protections for unborn children and their mothers would have been considered a scandal. They would have disqualified him from holding high office. Commentator Rich Lowry, writing in the journal Politico, said “it is impossible to stake out a position further to the left on this issue, unless, perhaps, you are performing abortions yourself.” 
Abortion survivor Melissa Ohden hits President Barack Obama on the issue of abortion in a new pro-life television commercial sponsored by the Susan B. Anthony List that will run in the battleground state of Missouri Missouri has recently been at the center of the conversation on abortion thanks to controversial comments from its U.S. Senate candidate Todd Akin concerning women, abortion and rape. 
Apparently when your message is factually wrong it can lead to mistakes like this one. Brad Woodhouse, a spokesman for the Democratic National Committee, tweeted photos today of a banner-carrying plane Democrats purchased to alert Republicans at the GOP convention to an important message about presidential nominee Mitt Romney. The DNC meant to say Romney is too extreme for women but, as Byron York of the Washington Examiner noticed, only one woman apparently believes Romney is too extreme. 
Out of England comes a miraculous story of a courageous mother, 41-year-old Jo Powell, who discovered a lump on her breast days after finding out she was pregnant with first child. Powell refused to start treatment until later in her pregnancy so she would not harm or kill her unborn child. In similar cases, doctors suggest an abortion, but, as studies show, there is no need for women to destroy the life of their unborn child to save their own. 
Pham Thi Cuong, 74, is doing what so many in Vietnam refuse to do — care for little babies who die before birth in abortions. A new story profiles her work, finding and burying more than 4,000 unwanted babies who have been killed. From the story: Pham Thi Cuong, 74, whose hair is silver and who has trouble breathing, pedals around ten kilometers each day on her bicycle searching for disregarded embryos from abortion procedures, and in some cases, the little bodies of babies who had been born and abandoned. 
The Obama administration has reportedly revised the controversial pro-abortion HHS mandate a third time, though it still fails to offer protection for religious groups not wanting to refer women for abortion-causing drugs or pay for them. Hannah Smith, senior counsel at the Becket Fund for Religious Liberty, talked with CNA about the revisions and said the Obama administration is governing by “sloppy executive fiat” and not addressing the problems religious groups have. 
Former Republican presidential candidate Rick Santorum was one of the speakers at a pro-life Republican event yesterday along with other former GOP presidential candidates. LifeNews chronicled his speech yesterday: “I love how the left and this president talk about inclusion as they advocate the discarding and destruction of over one million children every year,” Santorum said. “Some inclusion.” 
After the roll call of 50 states taken at the Republican convention, former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney officially becomes the GOP nominee for president, to take on pro-abortion President Barack Obama. Romney received 2061 delegate votes, with other candidates receiving 202 votes from delegates representing all 50 states and U.S. territories. New Jersey provided the votes that officially gave Romney enough to become the nominee. According to the RNC, the vote total broke down as follows: 2,032 delegates for Romney, 189 for Ron Paul, 9 for Rick Santorum, 1 for Michele Bachmann, 1 Jon Huntsman, 1 Buddy Roemer. 
Abortion survivor Melissa Ohden hits President Barack Obama on the issue of abortion in a new pro-life television commercial sponsored by the Susan B. Anthony List that will run in the battleground state of Missouri. Missouri has recently been at the center of the conversation on abortion thanks to controversial comments from its U.S. Senate candidate Todd Akin concerning women, abortion and rape. 
Republicans at the 2012 GOP convention approved yet another solidly pro-life platform on the issue of abortion, which retains the language supporting a Human Life Amendment to the Constitution that has been a part of it since 1980.The platform, on abortion, reads as follows: THE SANCTITY AND DIGNITY OF HUMAN LIFE Faithful to the “self-evident” truths enshrined in the Declaration of Independence, we assert the sanctity of human life and affirm that the unborn child has a fundamental individual right to life which cannot be infringed. 
Democrats have reversed course and are allowing Timothy Cardinal Dolan to deliver the benediction at the Democratic Party’s convention, as he will also do this week at the GOP convention in Tampa, Florida. Previously, in a slight to Catholics, pro-abortion President Barack Obama rejected Cardinal Dolan’s similar offer of a prayer at the Democratic convention. Dolan told Democrats he would be “grateful” to deliver a blessing in Charlotte, according to the New York Post, but Obama turned him down. 
The Planned Parenthood abortion business is facing a civil lawsuit from the mother of the 24-year-old woman who died after a botched legal abortion at a Planned Parenthood clinic in Chicago in July. Tonya Reaves died at Northwestern Memorial Hospital on July 20 after emergency medical personnel took her there from Planned Parenthood following a failed abortion. at a Planned Parenthood clinic located at 18 S. Michigan Ave, according to the at a Planned Parenthood clinic located at 18 S. Michigan Ave. 
In a new interview slated to air tonight on CBS, Ann Romney, the wife of Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney, shares a personal moment in talking about the multiple miscarriages she suffered and how they affected her life and the life of her family. Romney had the miscarriages in her 40s and the couple’s youngest son was reportedly devastated by the news, reportedly collapsing in tears in front of his mother as she informed him of the loss of one of her babies before birth. Mitt Romney himself had not heard the story of his son’s reaction until Ann Romney shared it with CBS. 
Former GOP presidential candidates Rick Santorum, Rick Perry, and Michele Bachmann headlined a luncheon today honoring pro-life Republicans leaders that took place in conjunction with the first day of the Republican convention. Both of them took on pro-abortion President Barack Obama. The Republican National Coalition for Life, part of Eagle Forum, co-sponsored the “treasure Life” event with the Family Research Council. Santorum received an award for his pro-life work along with Bachmann and Gov. Rick Perry, who also sought the GOP nomination. 
The biggest abortion business in the nation is prepared to spend heavily to ensure the hundreds of millions it receives in federal funding continues, by launching an aggressive attack on presidential candidate Mitt Romney. The Planned Parenthood Action Fund, the political arm of the company that does more than 300,000 abortions annually and has endorsed Obama, plans to spend more than $3 million to target voters in the battleground states of Ohio and Virginia with ads bashing Romney for wanting to cut its taxpayer funding. The $3.2 million campaign will feature everything from online ads to old-fashioned door to door politics. 
The Obama “Truth Team” apparently can’t discern between fact and fiction when it comes to the Republican Party’s pro-life platform and what it says and does on abortion. Whereas the platform calls for a Human Life Amendment, while allowing states to determine the specifics of such a pro-life amendment protecting unborn children against abortion, the Obama campaign is misleading voters by falsely claiming the Republican party wants to ban abortion in all cases. 
Actress Ellen Barkin created a stir on Twitter today when she sent out a re-tweet of a message someone sent saying they hoped Hurricane Isaac would hit the Republican convention and “was every pro-life, anti-education, anti-woman, xenophobic, gay-bashing, racist SOB right into the ocean.” The reaction from conservatives was quick to her class-less Tweet. “I wonder if @EllenBarkin will feel badly at all when #Isaac doesn’t wash the GOPers out to sea but in fact wipes out New Orleans,” one person responded. Bryan Kemper, Director of Youth Outreach for Priests for Life, said: “This is why we call pro-abortion people anti-life.” 
Samuel L. Jackson is getting razzed on Twitter by conservatives upset with his comments about the Republican convention, which officially started today. Hurricane Isaac is heading towards the Gulf Coast and narrowly missed Tampa Florida, site of the GOP event. Jackson is not happy about that. Today, he tweeted it was “unfair” that Tropical Storm Isaac had spared the GOP convention and is heading for New Orleans instead. 
Birds of a feather flock together, especially when one bird is funneling hundreds of millions of dollars a year to the other. Case in point: Planned Parenthood President Cecile Richards and the Obama administration. The administration oversaw the transfer of nearly half a billion dollars to the abortion giant last year, and now Richards has announced a Planned Parenthood bus tour in support of Obama’s re-election campaign. Since no one knows exactly what the bus tour will do, except serve as a campaign arm for the Obama administration, I guess we’ll call it the “Magical Mystery Bus Tour.” 
Republicans headed to the Tampa convention center for their week-long convention to nominate Mitt Romney to take on pro-abortion President Barack Obama were harassed by abortion activists donning vagina suits. The giant walking vaginas are none other than activists from the radical liberal group Code Pink bent on making it known that abortion on demand ought to be part of the GOP convention, which is set to approve a pro-life platform protecting women and unborn children. 
CNN has released the results of a new poll showing a majority of Americans want all or most abortions prohibited — a clear pro-life majority. The survey asked: “Do you think abortion should be legal under any circumstances, legal under only certain circumstances, or illegal in all circumstances?” Some 62 percent want abortions illegal in all cases or legal only in certain instances while just 35% want abortions legal for any reason. 
Timothy Cardinal Dolan will deliver the benediction at the Republican Party convention but, in a slight to Catholics, pro-abortion President Barack Obama rejected Cardinal Dolan’s similar offer of a prayer at the Democratic convention. Dolan told Democrats he would be “grateful” to deliver a blessing in Charlotte, according to the New York Post, but Obama turned him down. Dolan — considered the top Catholic official in the nation, as head of the Archdiocese of New York and president of the Conference of Catholic Bishops — tipped off Democrats a few weeks ago that he had agreed to deliver the prime-time benediction at the Republican convention in Tampa next week, Dolan’s spokesman Joseph Zwilling told The Post. 
A must-see video is going viral across the Internet today and if features CNN’s Anderson Cooper taking Democratic party chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz to task for misleading about Mitt Romney’s pro-life position on abortion. Since the controversy began with the comments from Missouri Senate candidate Todd Akin on abortion and rape, Democrats have been hoping to tie Romney with Akin to make his pro-life position look extreme. In a letter to Democrats, Wasserman Schultz said: “The Los Angeles Times reported yesterday that the platform was, and I quote, “written at the direction of Romney’s campaign.” 
The Obama campaign is misleading, in attacks on Mitt Romney and Republicans about abortion, according to the FactCheck.org web site run by the University of Pennsylvania. The Obama campaign is falsely accusing the Republican Party’s platform of calling for banning abortions even in cases of rape or incest. That’s not true. The 2012 platform is silent on exceptions — leaving that decision up to Congress and the states — just as it was in 2008 and in previous presidential election years. 
A federal appeals court has determined a federal judge was right to throw out a lawsuit challenging President Barack Obama’s decision to force taxpayers to fund embryonic stem cell research. The U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia upheld a decision throwing out a lawsuit challenging the funding, which President George W. Bush stopped and Obama allowed just months after entering office. The bringers of the lawsuit argued Obama’s executive order forcing taxpayer funding violated the 1996 Dickey-Wicker law that prohibits taxpayer of any scientific research that results in the destruction of human embryos, unborn children at their earliest days of life. 
After having been thrown to the curb by the Democratic Party and its refusal to acknowledge them in their party platform, pro-life Democrats are planning to hold their own event at the convention in Charlotte. Former Rep. Bart Stupak, a Michigan Democrat, will be featured at a Democrats for Life of America event on Tuesday, September 4 to, as the group tells LifeNews, “showcase pro-life Democratic leaders in the political, academic, and religious fields who have spent years standing up for pro-life values and continue to fight for life today.” 
That President Barack Obama was the only member of the Illinois legislature to not support a bill to provide medical care for newborns who survived failed late-term abortions is one of the key reasons pro-life voters will never support him. Now, Weekly Standard reporter John McCormack has uncovered new audio of Obama, as a state legislator in Illinois in 2003, defending his position. Obama essentially argues that there is no need for the law because he trusts abortion practitioners to provide medical care for the baby they unsuccessfully tried to kill in an abortion. 
While the media and abortion advocates use controversial comments from Todd Akin for political gain, pro-life advocates say the Obama administration is where fingers should be pointed when it comes to women and rape. They are bringing up the fact that the Obama administration, last year, ignored the potential crimes shown in videos showing Planned Parenthood centers helping undercover investigators posing as sex traffickers. 
Vice-presidential candidate Paul Ryan is not backing down on his pro-life position in face of attacks from the media and abortion activists who want to tie him to the controversial remarks made by Missouri Senate candidate Todd Akin. Media outlets have been attempting to paint Ryan and presidential candidate Mitt Romney as extremists on the issue of abortion because of the remarks Akin made about women, rape and abortion. But Ryan is standing his ground on his pro-life position. 
Obama has already turned off Catholic voters with his HHS mandate forcing Catholic employers to pay for or refer women for drugs that can cause abortions and for contraception and sterilizations. Now, a new poll released today by a pro-life group shows what support Obama has left is eroding further. American Life League commissioned a nationwide telephone survey of 900 self-identified Catholic registered voters — an August 15-19 poll conducted by ccAdvertising, a polling firm based in Centreville, Virginia. 
The recording of the 911 call from an apparently badly botched abortion last week at an abortion clinic is Dayton has been made public and the details are shocking for a woman who was victimized. A woman was rushed to the hospital in Dayton, Ohio following a botched late-term abortion that took place at the Women’s Med Center abortion clinic in Dayton. Martin Haskell, who is credit with making the partial-birth abortion procedure a household name, runs the abortion facility that injured the woman. 
The president of the nation’s biggest abortion business will be a featured speaker at the Democratic convention that will be held in September to nomination pro-abortion President Barack Obama for another four-year term. In 2008, the Democratic National Committee allowed Cecile Richards, the president of Planned Parenthood, the nation’s largest abortion business which Obama has funded despite its coverup of child rape, to speak from the stage. Nancy Keenan, the head of NARAL, and one of the pro-abortion activists to endorse Obama early in the 2008 election, spoke as well. 
‘Tis the season to be wearing tread marks. Congressman Todd Akins has crawled out from under the bus, brushed himself off and is standing firm. A few ill-chosen words expressing a more-common-than-acknowledged misunderstanding of a woman’s biological response to rape have caused him and those harmed by such a violent act, without pause, to be thrown under the bus. And, quite frankly, I’m glad such a pro-family, pro-life stalwart, despite a few bumps and lots of scrapes, is not quitting under pressure from hypocritical pro-abortion radicals and spineless Republicans. 
With all of the sturm und drang over the Todd Akin comments, the media is trumpeting the issue of abortion in an attempt to attack pro-life advocates, the Romney campaign and Republicans. But when it comes down to pulling the lever for a candidate, polling data consistently shows the abortion issue is more motivating and salient in terms of their vote to pro-life voters than it is to abortion advocates. 
In Tampa, the GOP is wishing two things would blow over: Hurricane Isaac and Rep. Todd Akin’s comments. Forty-eight hours after making the most regrettable comment of his political career, the Missouri Congressman is still apologizing. Since Monday, when he tried to distinguish between rape and “legitimate rape,” this six-term conservative has been the universal target of angry hysteria and public condemnation. And that’s just on the Republican side! Senate leaders, congressional leaders, and both presidential candidates have attacked Todd with the kind of ferocity that is usually reserved for the Anthony Weiners of the world.
