House member calls for hearings after Planned Parenthood abortion death.

Obama’s rationing Independent Payment Advisory Board must go.

ObamaCare’s Independent Payment Advisory Board is authoritarian. It does not “advise,” it imposes on cost cutting for Medicare–even over a presidential veto. Moreover, it’s imposed “advice” is also immune from judicial review.  It is blatantly unconstitutional as it tells Congress what to do instead of the other way around.

Stem cell bank closes as embryonic research dies off.

It would seem that the California Institute for Regenerative Medicine (CIRM) is not alone as it increasingly moves away from human embryonic stem cell research (hESCR) and towards adult and other non-embryonic avenues of stem cell research.

Pro-Lifers push to ban late-term abortions in Nation’s capital.
 
The Washington Surgi-Clinic, located just five blocks west of the White House, advertises on its website that it performs abortions 26 weeks (6 months) into pregnancy. The website of another clinic advertises second- and third-trimester abortions involving the “intercardiac injection of medication into the fetal heart” at a “private facility in the Washington, D.C. area.” All of this is perfectly legal.

Dad With Mom, Catholicism + Sterilization.

Blog of Manhattan Right to Life

Angelina Jolie’s dad backs Brad Pitt’s mom.

In the latest development in the saga surrounding the letter to the editor Brad Pitt’s mother wrote blasting Barack Obama on abortion, Jane Pitt has a new defender in Jon Voight, Brad Pitt’s father-in-law-to-be.  That Voight would have to come to Jane Pitt’s defense, rather than her son looking out for her, has caused many movie-watchers to see Brad Pitt in a negative light.

Obama: “Not Fair” to allow Catholic hospitals mandate opt out.

As if Barack Obama hasn’t done enough to sour the Catholic community with his egregious mandate requiring them to pay for abortion-causing drugs and birth control, now he has added insult to injury.

Why is Obama offering sterilization to all women?

No previous president ever promoted a giveaway more peculiar than Barack Obama's mandate that all health care plans must offer free sterilizations to all women -- but not all men -- capable of breeding.

Patients denied key treatments due to NHS cost-cutting, surgeons warn Open letter accuses health trusts of letting public down by branding some elective surgery 'lower value'.

ObamaCare & You, Repeal.

Blog of Manhattan Right to Life

Side Effects: Obama Administration admits You can’t keep your health plan.

During the health care reform debate, Barack Hussein Obama promised the American people, “If you like your health care plan, you’ll be able to keep your health care plan, period. No one will take it away, no matter what.” Now, even the Administration admits that this isn’t the case, stating that “as a practical matter, a majority of group health plans will lose their grandfather status by 2013.”

Brad Pitt’s mom: “Obama supports killing unborn babies.”

Jane Pitt, the mother of actor Brad Pitt, is making waves after penning a letter to the editor for her local newspaper slamming Obama and urging fellow Christians to vote for Mitt Romney.

Responding to: “I’m Pro-Life But Can’t Force my Morality on Others.”

This is an argument usually coming from people who don’t want to take a stand against abortion or get involved with pro-life work. They always say that other people don’t believe that abortion is killing a human so we can’t force “our morality” on them. Just because we are pro-life does not mean we should tell someone who is not pro-life they should not have an abortion.

Out-of-state abortifacient drugs on the Internet -- without a doctor's prescription??!!

The U.S .9th Circuit Court of Appeals will hear a civil suit challenging Idaho’s ban on getting out-of-state abortifacient drugs on the Internet, brought about by the arrest of Jennie McCormack, a single mom who aborted her 5 month-old unborn child with the harmful and damaging abortifacient drug called RU-486. When police came to her home to arrest her, they found frozen remains of her unborn child in a box-—criminal evidence that can make any rational human being cringe with disgust.

Developments that are shaping the contours of the 2012 Presidential race.

The House of Representatives has voted to repeal ObamaCare by a vote of 244-185. That repeal, strongly supported by National Right to Life, was the first House vote on repeal since the Supreme Court upheld ObamaCare, known formally as the Affordable Care Act.  With that as a backdrop, NRLC talks about four other developments that will help shape the 2012 contest for President.

Roe/Wade, ObamaCare & Christie.

Blog of Manhattan Right to Life


Barack Hussein:  “If you like your health care plan, you’ll be able to keep your health care plan" -- NOT!

See why experts have warned that ObamaCare’s new subsidy program could cause a mass exodus of businesses out of employer-sponsored insurance. New research from McKinsey and Company based on a survey of employers pumps up this concern.

John Roberts’ defection spells trouble for overturning Roe. What should pro-Lifers do about it?

The prospects for Roe v. Wade’s overturn now seem lessened.  Justice Roberts’ decisions are susceptible to media pressure and perception considerations, so it’s hard to imagine that the combination of that weakness and his pro-Roe dispositions could ever let him stand up to the firestorm of indignation that a serious threat to Roe would bring.

NJ Governor Chris Christie vetoes Planned Parenthood funding again!

For the fourth time, New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie has vetoed a bill that would have sent taxpayer funding to the Planned Parenthood abortion business.

Mississippi abortion mill granted last minute reprieve.

The Opposition's View:  Federal judge issues a preliminary injunction blocking a law that would have shuttered the Jackson Women's Health Organisation.

IMPORTANT ENOUGH TO ASK AGAIN:  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" supposedly to "control costs." Actually, the board's "experts" will impose old-fashioned price controls. Before ObamaCare, only Congress had the power to make changes to Medicare's reimbursement rates. But now that power is transfered to this tiny group of Obama appointees who will have no accountability to the voters.
