What is ObamaCare's "Independent Payment Advisory Board" and why was it was created?
IPAB was created pursuant to section 3403 of the "Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act "(PPACA), and its ostensible purpose is to "control costs." In reality, the board's fifteen "experts" will impose old-fashioned price controls. Before Obamacare was signed into law in March of 2010, only Congress had the power to make changes to Medicare's reimbursement rates. But PPACA, for all intents and purposes, transfers that power to this tiny cadre of presidential appointees who will have no accountability to the voters.
The cost of saving Ave Maria from ObamaCare’s mandate.
Maria University, a Catholic institution in Naples, FL, dropped its student health insurance plan because of the moral costs that the Department of Health and Human Service’s anti-conscience mandate imposed on the school. The mandate requires all insurance plans to cover “preventative” services, including abortion-inducing drugs, contraceptives, and sterilization.
Pro-Abortionists Angry they lost at Rio Conference.
Last week NRL News Today reported on a major international pro-life victory. At “Rio+20 United Nations Conference on Sustainable Development, The Future We Want,” the term “reproductive rights” was kept out of the conference’s final document.
National Right to Life: Supreme Court ObamaCare decision means pro-life Americans must increase political action.
The U.S. Supreme Court ruling upholding ObamaCare is a call-to-action for the right-to-life electorate to work to elect a Congress and president this November committed to repealing ObamaCare in 2013, in order to prevent a future in which abortion insurance will be heavily subsidized by federal taxpayers and federal bureaucrats will be authorized to ration life-saving medical treatment.
California Bill to allow nurses to do abortions resurfaces.
The bill has already failed twice before. However, tt appears the legislative situation has changed thanks to a trick from the pro-abortion lawmaker sponsoring it, and the bill could find itself on the fast track through the legislature, according to the California Family Council.

One Plus, Two States + Religious Liberty.
Blog of Manhattan Right to Life
Feminists rapp about The Multiple Abortion Question.
The author, Sarah, summarizes: Shouldn’t being pro-choice mean supporting a "woman’s right" to make a choice, period? After all, I had no idea what the circumstances were that made a woman choose one abortion, much less a second or third.

Religious Freedom: why Americans are celebrating and defending it Now.
June 21 marks the beginning of the “Fortnight of Freedom.” This two-week period culminating on July 4 is a time to celebrate and defend America’s first freedom, Religious Liberty.
Opposition continues to grow against Obama’s unprecedented assault on Religious Liberty.

Michigan, China & Two Presidents.
Blog of Manhattan Right to Life
The National Right To Life Convention 2012: Washington, DC; June 28, 29, 30.
The National Right to Life Convention is: • 3 Days • 6 Major Sessions • More than 100 pro-life speakers • More than 70 workshops.
Michigan House backs Pro-Life bill limiting abortions.
The Michigan state House approved a package of pro-fie bills intended to protect women and unborn children and drive down the number of abortions in the state.
What’s airing on Pro-Life Perspective Today?
Ronald Reagans book “Abortion and the Conscience of a Nation.”
Obama was pushed by drug industry, E-Mails suggest.
After weeks of talks about adopting ObamaCare, drug industry lobbyists were growing nervous. To cut a deal with the White House on overhauling health care, they needed to be sure that Barack Huissein Obama would stop a proposal intended to bring down medicine prices. He did -- and the rest is history.
Graphic photo of forced late-term abortion posted online forces China to respond.
Several days ago, a horrific picture of an unconscious Chinese woman and her forcibly aborted unborn seven-month child lying next to her in a hospital bed began circulating on the internet. Chinese officials have nowconfirmed that the photo and story are “basically true”

Wisconsin, Religious Liberty and Sex Selection.
Blog of Manhattan Right to Life
National Right to Life News Today editor Dave Andrusko talks about Wisconsin.
As we all know, Gov. Scott Walker defeated pro-abortion Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett by a bigger margin than in 2010—almost exactly 7 points. Dave won’t spend much time talking about exit polls except . . . .
What does Scott Walker’s recall victory mean for unborn children?
Barbara Lyons, the Executive Director of Wisconsin Right to Life has a one word answer: Everything.
Battle against Obama’s HHS mandate not just for Catholics.
Religious freedom has been assumed safe by Americans who may or may not even attend a church or synagogue regularly. The steeples on the country hillsides, as well as those pointing upward here and there amid the city skylines, are a reminder of the religious heritage of this nation, and many assume what once was always will be. But this is not the case, and it has never been the case.
The Church pushes back.
The question is not whether contraceptives and abortion-inducing drugs are available — it is whether religious organizations can be forced to provide free access to them.
Ariz. abortion clinics agreed to illegally provide sex-selective abortions.
Video highlighting “Gendercide” in America shows two National Abortion Federation (NAF) clinics in Arizona agreeing to break state law and perform abortions because the mothers did not want to have girl babies.

Obama Developments, Cringing & Guttmacher Inst.
Blog of Manhattan Right to Life
Obama’s Pro-Abortion Record.
A pro-life compilation so you can check out the evolving Obama record.
Chief Justice Roberts threatened on ObamaCare.
Senator Leahy of Vermont, directed a threat at Chief Justice Roberts, demanding that the Chief Justice vote to uphold ObamaCare. This is considered a warning shot to the Justices deciding the Healthcare law. With this, Barack Hussein Obama and his allies in Congress have stepped outside precedent, sending threatening signals to the Judiciary.
Thank goodness I can still cringe!
When speaking to the broader public—as opposed to what they tell each other—pro-abortionists will often feign an attitude that they, too, understand that abortion is serious business and not to be trivialized. They don’t mean it for a half-second, of course, but for public consumption it helps take the edge off their fanaticism.
New regulation forces private insurers to advertise ObamaCare.
The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) has finalized a rule that requires insurers to notify rebate recipients that their rebate is thanks to Obamacare. In the first paragraph it must state, “This letter is to inform you that you will receive a rebate of a portion of your health insurance premiums. This rebate is required by the Affordable Care Act—the health reform law.”
Guttmacher Institute study grossly misrepresents data: Abortion does not improve women's reproductive health.
The Chilean study raises serious questions about the claims by government officials and other abortion advocates who say that abortion is a critical component of quality medical care for women. Initiatives that promote abortion for the health and well-being of women increasingly appear to be motivated by ideology and based on something other than science.
