Life Issues Institute - When a mother's life hangs in the balance
When a mother’s life hangs in the balance
There’s one exception that many are willing to make for abortion—when the mother’s life is at risk. But still, it’s a controversial subject.
What’s it like to live through such a situation? A mother’s love for her child is a unique, sacred and sacrificial love. I can’t imagine how it feels when circumstances threaten that bond. Yet against all odds, some mothers have placed the value of the life of their unborn baby above even their own." Visit:

Montana House Candidate Challenges Law Requiring Complete Disclosure of Opponent's Flipflopping Voting Record
On Wednesday, Montana legislative candidate Matthew Monforton asked a federal court to temporarily enjoin a state law requiring those that published campaign materials about a legislator's record to include every vote that legislator has made on that issue.
Mr. Monforton, a candidate for Montana House District 69, is running in the 2014 Republican primary against encumbent Ted Washburn. As part of his campaign, Mr. Monforton intends to expose Rep. Washburn's flipflopping voting record on Obamacare on a billboard and by letter to constituents.
Under Montana law, for Mr. Monforton to publish materials about Rep. Washburn's
record, he must include a complete list of all of Rep. Washburn's votes "on the same issue."
"Rep. Washburn has been all over the map when it comes to Obamacare votes," says Monforton.
"There's not enough room on the billboard and my letter would have to be several
pages long to detail all of Washburn's flipflopping." He adds, "I should have the freedom to criticize Washburn's support of Obamacare without him using the government to penalize that criticism like he's done to other conservatives." Rep. Washburn filed a complaint with Montana's Commissioner of Political Practices against Ron Murray, who challenged Washburn in 2010, and Terry Bannon, a local Tea Party member. Commissioner Jonathan Motl recently reopened that complaint and is now investigating it.
James Bopp, Jr., the attorney for Mr. Monforton, stated "there are the numerous First Amendment problems with the law. Not only is the law unclear about what it requires, it requires a speaker to engage in political speech only in a certain way and with considerable effort, undermining the speaker's ability to say what he wants, how he wants, when he wants." "Voters can easily find a legislator's complete voting record online," he continues, "There is no justification for a law like this. All it does is discourage robust political discussion and chill protected political speech. It is unconstitutional."

Conjoined Twins Doing Well After Separation, Doctor Told Mom She Should Abort Them | LifeNews.com
"Not all conjoined twins are separated given the risks inherent with surgery. Abby and Brittany Hensel were born conjoined with a very low chance they would make it through infancy, but they are doing well despite the fact they are still conjoined.
But little girls Allison June and Amelia Lee Tucker were in a different situation and separation was possible in their case. They’re lucky to be here in the first place — because their doctor suggested to their mother that she consider an abortion and that separation was not likely to be successful. These girls proved that OBGYN wrong." Conjoined Twins Doing Well After Separation, Doctor Told Mom She Should Abort Them | LifeNews.com:

Disability Community Loses a Hero By Dr. Mark Mostert
Alison Davis, champion of the disability community and unfailing exemplar of a life
well lived, died early on December 3, 2013.
Born with spina bifida and hydrocephalus, Alison also bravely dealt with several
other serious chronic debilitating conditions that left her in constant severe pain.
Several decades before her death Alison despaired of ever escaping her disabilities,
contemplating and eventually attempting suicide several times.
However, she was eventually persuaded that suicide was not the answer by her full
time personal assistant, Colin Harte, and it was on a 1995 trip to India that Alison,
after witnessing the severe plight of the Indian poor, decided that she had
something to live for – helping those who, like her, had disabilities.
Alison was an ardent advocate against assisted suicide and euthanasia, making the
cogent point that had they been feely available during her darkest times, she would
ended her life – a life that despite her disabilities turned out to be filled with
immense joy and wonder at all the good things she was privileged to experience.
From 1982 until her death she served as the National coordinator of No Less
Human, an arm of the UK’s Society for the Protection of Unborn Children.
By the time I met Alison in Rome in 2004, I was well aware of her remarkable status
as a defender of all people with disabilities. I recall many wonderful moments as we
attended meetings of the Pontifical Academy for Life at the Vatican and on
sightseeing jaunts around the city.
It was, however, a simple dinner that several of us shared at a restaurant in the
shadows of St. Peter’s that leaves me with my most enduring memory of Alison.
Clearly in pain and tired after a long day, she was indefatigably positive, cheerful,
and funny. We chuckled about her characteristic little wave, which reminded me of
the Royal wave of Queen Elizabeth. Alison liked the royal comparison.
That dinner in Rome said all that needed to be said about Alison: She was defined by
her joy of life, by love, given and received, and by her extraordinary care for others.
Her medical disabilities didn’t define her, they were things that needed to be bent to
her will for a life well lived.
And a life well lived is exactly what Alison accomplished.

One Million Babies Have Died in South Africa Since Nelson Mandela Legalized Abortion | LifeNews.com
"The world mourns the passing of Nelson Mandela the civil rights leader and former President of South Africa. It is fitting that we should respect and applaud his untiring struggle for civil rights and for his leadership in bringing about reconciliation in South Africa.
In paying tribute to his many achievements as President between 1994 to 1999 we must not forget that he did not uphold the sanctity of life of children in the womb. The sanctity of human life and the dignity of the family are the foundation and guarantee of all other human rights. It is not possible to be a human rights crusader if one fails to uphold the human rights of the unborn" Visit:

Priests for Life to Have its Day in Court!
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Contact: Leslie Palma
347-286-7277
WASHINGTON, D.C. – Priest for Life’s legal challenge to the HHS mandate will be on the
docket Monday in U.S. District Court in Washington, D.C.
Priests for Life’s attorneys from the American Freedom Law Center and attorneys for the
Obama administration are asking the court to decide on the constitutionality of the HHS mandate.
Plaintiffs in the case are Priests for Life as well as individual plaintiffs Fr. Frank Pavone,
Janet Morana, and Dr. Alveda King, niece of Martin Luther King, Jr.
Priests for Life contends that forcing the ministry to authorize coverage for contraception,
abortifacient drugs and sterilization services to the participants and beneficiaries of its healthcare plan is a violation of its constitutional right to religious freedom and of the Religious Freedom Restoration Act.
“With this mandate contained in the Affordable Care Act, the government is not only
violating our religious beliefs; they are also taking it upon themselves to tell us what the boundaries of those religious beliefs are. It is not up to the government to tell us when our conscience hurts; on the contrary, it's up to us as believers to tell the government."
Father Pavone is confident in the outcome of this case, and the judgment, which is
expected before January 1, when the Priests for Life insurance plan is renewed, could be among the very first judgments rendered for religious non-profits on the merits of the arguments.
According to Robert Muise, American Freedom Law Center co-founder and senior counsel,
“The question for the court on Monday is not whether compliance with the contraception mandate can be reconciled with the teachings of the Catholic Church. That’s a question of religious conscience for the plaintiffs, and they have concluded that their legal and religious obligations are incompatible. Consequently, the contraception mandate forces them to do what their religion tells them they must not do in direct violation of the First Amendment and the Religious Freedom Restoration Act.”
Father Pavone and Janet Morana, Executive Director of Priests for Life, will travel to D.C.
Monday to be in the courtroom and will be available for comment.
As he has said since filing the initial lawsuit in February 2012 – the fourth to be filed
against the mandate – Father Pavone reiterated that, regardless of the judge’s findings, “We will not obey this mandate. We do not adapt to injustice. We oppose it.” Visit: |

We Must Help Mothers With Disabled Unborn Children Facing Abortion Pressure | LifeNews.com
"You’ve probably heard the statistic before that as many as 90 percent of unborn children diagnosed with Down Syndrome become victims of abortion. This is partly due to the fact that mothers and fathers of such unborn babies face enormous pressure to have an abortion.
Whether the pressure comes from the doctor himself, family, or society, it has resulted in the destruction of people simple because they are somewhat different from everyone else. Gerard Nadal, a pro-life geneticist, is taking it upon himself to do something about it. He is collecting stories from women and parents facing such pressure — so pro-life people can push back against it."

Save the Pandas AND (Children with) Down syndrome
Kurt Kondrich writes: "I think pandas are amazing creatures, and it would be a real tragedy if these mammals were to become extinct. My amazing 10 year old daughter Chloe who has Down syndrome is also an endangered mammal species with a 90%+ termination rate once identified prenatally in the womb habitat. Mammals that have Down syndrome have a unique genetic code, and they bring incalculable amounts of joy, love and purity into our culture. They are also, like the panda, a species we cannot allow to become extinct. Rapid advances in genetic testing may make it possible one day to identify and eliminate any human mammals our society views as "defective" or "imperfect," and this could usher in the extinction of many priceless people."

Massachusetts Rationing Shows What’s Coming to America Under Obamacare | LifeNews.com
"We repeatedly said that without an adequate, sustainable funding mechanism to pay for the entitlement, the state would wind up imposing limits on treatment – rationing.
By 2010, facing a mounting gap between the cost of subsidies and the available revenue, Governor Deval Patrick sent a bill to the state legislature with sweeping measures to limit what Massachusetts citizens would be allowed to spend to save the lives of their family members.
The law ultimately enacted that year authorized Massachusetts to limit what individuals and those employed by small businesses were allowed to spend for their health care. VISIT:
