Obama goes after Catholic hospitals.

Blog of Manhattan Right to Life


Obama refuses to change contraception mandate for religious institutions.

The Obama administration announces that it will not expand an exemption for religious groups that object to its requirement for health insurance plans to cover sterilization and contraception – including abortion-causing drugs – free of charge.

Archbishop Dolan speaks out against HHS rule, calls for action.

Archbishop Timothy Dolan of New York, president of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB), sharply criticized the Obama administration as it “ordered almost every employer and insurer in the country to provide sterilization and contraceptives, including some abortion-inducing drugs, in their health plans.”

Obama Administration’s birth control mandate panned.

On Friday, the Obama Administration re-iterated the “contraceptive mandate” requiring all insurance providers cover the full range of FDA-approved drugs and devices would remain intact; this includes drugs that work after conception to destroy life rather than prevent it. The statement included a postponement of one year for religious groups that do not already carry contraceptives and additionally would not be exempted under last year’s narrow definition of “religious employer.”

HHS delays, but does not change, rule on contraceptive coverage.

The Obama administration announced Jan. 20 that it will not expand an exemption for religious groups that object to its requirement that health insurance plans cover sterilization and contraception -- including abortion-causing drugs -- free of charge.

Obama Administration: Religious Employers Must Pay for the Pill.

Many church-affiliated institutions will have to cover free birth control for employees, the Obama administration announced Friday in an election-year move that outraged religious groups, fueling a national debate about the reach of government.

Judge dismisses Obama administration prosecution of sidewalk counselor.

Suspecting collusion between the Obama administration and an abortion clinic, a federal judge has dismissed Attorney General Eric Holder’s prosecution of Mary Susan Pine, a Florida sidewalk counselor, on charges of violating the FACE (Freedom of Access to Clinics) Act.

Prospective problems in the Emerald Isle: "expert" group to consider abortion law in light of Human Rights Court ruling.

Barack Hussein Obama’s Record on Life

In a newly updated factsheet, National Right to Life summarizes in one page how Barack Obama has done more damage to the pro-life cause, in just three years, than any President in history. It makes for sobering reading.

Planned Parenthood, Taxpayer Dollars & Gosnell's Killing Plan.

Blog of Manhattan Right to Life


Planned Parenthood kicked out of upsate NY school district.

The Shenendehowa school district of New York has decided that enough is enough. As the Times Union reports, they’ve kicked Planned Parenthood out of their classrooms. Naturally, the article calls Planned Parenthood’s classes by a very nice name: “interactive lessons in health education classes in the high school and middle school.”

Planned Parenthood: 332,278 murders -- at taxpayer expense, your expense.

Planned Parenthood’s abortion business continues to boom – to the tune of more than a billion dollars in net assets. As if that weren’t shocking enough, a closer examination of the abortion giant’s latest annual report reveals even more troubling issues – like more than $100 million in previous underreporting of taxpayer funding and a distortion of just how “comprehensive” is PP's care.

Planned Parenthood: Seeing a baby before abortion is abhorrent.

The taxpayer funded abortion factory Planned Parenthood making millions in profits by preying on women, specifically minorities and teenagers, seems to think a woman seeing her baby before making the ultimate decision to end her pregnancy is an "abhorrent" standard.

From pro-abortion to pro-life.

How does it happen that a pro-choice feminist ends up changing her mind and working full-time in the pro-life movement?

Gosnell’s illegal and unorthodox practices resulted in the birth and then killing of many viable, live babies.

Killing really had to be part of Gosnell’s plan. His method for performing late-term abortions was to induce labor and delivery of intact babies, and he specialized in patients who were well beyond 24 weeks. Thus, the birth of live, viable babies was a natural and predictable consequence.

A Look at the New Year of 2012.

The year 2012 is now upon us -- this new year will be the most important year in the pro-life struggle since abortion-on-demand was first made legal!

There are two very different ways that this very important year can end up. On the one hand, we could see a pro-life president inaugurated, taking office along with a pro-life Congress, which will then begin to address the failings of ObamaCare.

On the other hand, Barack Hussein Obama -- along with his radically pro-abortion administration -- could be re-elected. This means full implementation of ObamaCare, with its special abortion tax, health care rationing, forced participation in abortions by medical professionals, all among other things

The first thing we have to do is get informed -- and stay informed. Check MRLC on the web. Check in often. Keep up with the selections on our Resource Page, including National RTL and New York State RTL.

Here at Manhattan Right to Life, we too need your help to tell the truth about abortion and save babies' lives.
