Did you know? The company that provided Zyklon B for the Nazi holocaust later provided RU-486 for the American Holocaust. At the end of World War II, the German chemical manufacturer, I.G. Farben, was identified as the company that supplied the gas used in the Nazi concentration camps. The gas was called Zyklon-B and evidence later showed that Farben’s executives knew how it was being used. Read more via LifeNews.com.
President Barack Obama and Planned Parenthood have been bosom buddies since his election — and the president has kept flow of taxpayer funds on ever since entering the White House in 2009. This year’s budget proposal is no exception.

Planned Parenthood continues to fail to deliver on its promise to provide expanded services commensurate with its government funding, which has increased 77 percent over the last seven years. Affiliate numbers, facility numbers, customer numbers, and three of its four categories of “services” have all decreased. Its bottom line, however, continues to increase, thanks to its expansive government funding and its lucrative abortion business. PPFA closed out the fiscal year that ended June 30, 2013, with total assets of more than $1.6 billion dollars—a $109.4 million dollar increase from 2012—and banked $58.2 million in profits. In the meantime, its level of services has decreased 2.7 percent since 2009.

Unborn babies who are capable of feeling pain won a great victory in the West Virginia House of Delegates today. The Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act (H.B. 4588) passed out of the House Health and Human Resources Committee without debate on February 17, 2014.
This legislation will protect West Virginia’s unborn babies who can feel pain from a gruesome death by dismemberment or other horrific late abortion techniques. Substantial medical evidence demonstrates the baby’s ability to feel pain is present by 20 weeks of life.
After being double-referenced to two committees in the … [read more via West Virginia House Panel Passes Bill Banning Abortions After 20 Weeks | LifeNews.com].
CHARLESTON, WV – Unborn babies who are capable of feeling pain won a great victory in the West Virginia House of Delegates today. The Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act (H.B. 4588) passed out of the House Health and Human Resources Committee without debate on February 17, 2014.
This legislation will protect West Virginia’s unborn babies who can feel pain from a gruesome death by dismemberment or other horrific late abortion techniques. Substantial medical evidence demonstrates the baby’s ability to feel pain is present by 20 weeks of life.
After being double-referenced to two committees in the House, The Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act (H.B.4588 – formerly H.B.2364) was essentially dead in committee – just as in years past.
The bill experienced a revival on Tuesday, February 11, 2014, when a Motion to Discharge the committee reference was offered by… [read more via Revival in the WV House of Delegates! | NRL News Today].
Last week was our annual West Virginians for Life Day at the Legislature in Charleston. The capitol is a very beautiful, but it is sick inside. We had hundreds of people there to encourage our representatives to “Vote to Discharge” a bill from our Health Committee. The bill is the Pain Capable Child Protection Act, written to stop abortion after twenty weeks post-fertilization. It failed to make it out of committee by a vote of 48 to 48. Any bills written by West Virginians for Life are noted into law, if they can get out of committee. That is where they get us every time. (They have been doing this for 29 years.) We got word last night that they are going to allow a “reconsideration” of the bill, tomorrow. Please pray. Pray for the pro-life delegates to be bold and unyielding. Pray that Satan’s plans will be thwarted and that the enemies will be confused. Every year that pro-life bills die in committee, babies are dying from inaction. I thank God for what He is going to do. Thanks.

It’s the ugly side of the Super Bowl – the reality that America’s most popular sporting event is also likely America’s biggest day for sexual slavery. The day that sells the most tickets and the most coveted ad spaces is also the day that results in the most sales of little girls and women, at prices inflated to match the expense of the event. In a cruel outplay of the economic reality of “supply and demand,” it is not only local pimps who make a big profit – women and girls from all over the country are often brought in to the destination city to ensure that travelers for the big game have enough “side entertainment” available.
