Washington, DC (LifeNews.com) -- President Barack Obama met top Senate leaders today to discuss is upcoming Supreme Court nomination and he promised he will have no abortion litmus test. However, most of the potential nominees said to be on his short list to replace pro-abortion Justice John Paul Stevens also back unlimited abortions.

Still, the New York Times indicated Obama wants a new high court justice who respects individual rights and women's rights -- code phrases for abortion.

Obama responded to a reporter's question and reiterated his own support for abortion without limits, but put forward the no litmus test pledge but immediately contradicted himself...

Lincoln, NE (LifeNews.com) -- Lawmakers in Nebraska put their state on the pro-life map by passing a first-of-its kind piece of legislation that would ban abortions after 20 weeks of pregnancy based on the notion that unborn children feel pain. The legislation will likely be headed for court, but that's exactly what pro-life groups are after.

Expected legal challenges from abortion advocates will have LB 1103 in the courts, which is where pro-life advocates hope to shape the future of abortion jurisprudence.

The bill was drafted with the idea of moving the Supreme Court further along its current path of watering down Roe v. Wade with the hopes of overturning it once a pro-life majority is present on the court...

Local pro-life groups are getting prepared to deal with a late-term abortion facility in Albuquerque, New Mexico.

Operation Rescue president Troy Newman recently visited "The Duke City" to plan strategy with local pro-lifers, and he explains why that city has taken on fresh importance.

"Since the death of Mr. George Tiller in Wichita, Kansas, we see that there's one place emerging that wants to become the next abortion capital of the world -- and that's Albuquerque, New Mexico, with Curtis Boyd," Newman reports. "He's actually hired two of Tiller's former abortionists"...

Washington, DC (LifeNews.com) -- Despite protests from Republicans, a pro-abortion nominee President Barack Obama put forward for a federal appeals court position is receiving a hearing today in the Senate Judiciary Committee. Obama nominated pro-abortion professor Goodwin Liu for a spot on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 9th Circuit.

Liu is a professor at the liberal University of California, Berkeley and he came under fire earlier this month when officials discovered he left 117 questions blank on the official Senate judicial questionnaire.

The hearing is going forward today notwithstanding Republican objections to the short period of time they've had to review Liu’s recent submission of papers correcting those problems...

Washington, DC (LifeNews.com) -- A new national poll conducted by the Associated Press finds opposition to the pro-abortion health care bill has increased in the weeks following President Barack Obama's signing it. Meanwhile, a Rasmussen survey shows more Americans say President Barack Obama is doing a poor job as president.

In what political observers say is an indication Democrats may have a tough road in the coming November congressional elections, AP shows Americans are strongly opposed to their government-run health care bill that funds and promotes abortions.

The new Associated Press-GfK poll has Americans opposing the health care remake 50 percent to 39 percent with another 10 percent saying they have no opinion....

A landmark law for the pro-life effort has passed in the Nebraska legislature.

Mary Spaulding Balch, director of state legislation for the National Right to Life Committee (NRLC), tells OneNewsNow the Pain Capable Unborn Child Protection Act is unique and sound legislation "that basically says that the unborn child at 20 weeks is capable of feeling pain and that the state of Nebraska has a compelling interest in protecting that child. And so they actually said, 'You cannot kill that child through abortion in Nebraska.'"

Balch argued against the claim that unborn children cannot feel pain, as there is now substantial evidence showing that a baby indeed feels pain at that stage. She points out this is information the Supreme Court did not have in 1973 when it legalized abortion in Roe v. Wade...

Milwaukee, WI (LifeNews.com) -- A new undercover video taken of staff at a Planned Parenthood abortion business in Milwaukee, Wisconsin shows them pressuring a woman to have an abortion. The video also has staff members giving medically inaccurate abortion counseling and distorting basic facts of fetal development at the taxpayer-funded abortion center.

The video, the third to document problems at Planned Parenthood abortion centers in Wisconsin and one of several showing problems nationwide, was released today by Live Action.

It shows a young woman going to the abortion facility pretending to be a pregnant potential abortion customer. During the September 2009 counseling session with Planned Parenthood staff, the woman is pressured to get an abortion...

Stupak, who's been in Congress for 18 years, will make the announcement at a 12:30 p.m. ET press conference in Marquette, Mich.

Stupak told The Associated Press that attacks on him for his role in the abortion debate did not influence his decision and he could win re-election if he tried...

Washington, DC (LifeNews.com) -- President Barack Obama signed the new government-run health care bill into law less than three weeks ago. Yet, six states are already moving ahead -- and others are expected to join them -- in passing legislation to protect taxpayers from being forced to pay for abortions.

The health care law contains massive abortion funding and promotion, but states have the ability to opt out of some of it.

Under the new health care law, states will be in charge of their own health care exchanges that are available for individuals and small businesses starting in 2014. In those exchanges, state's can ensure tax dollars do no go towards plans or subsidies for plans that pay for abortions...

Washington, DC (LifeNews.com) -- Should pro-abortion Supreme Court Justice John Paul Stevens decide in the coming days or weeks to retire, three potential replacements have been named as the most likely candidates to replace him.

The most talked about potential nominees include U.S. Solicitor General Elena Kagan and federal appellate judges Diane Wood and Merrick Garland.

Those names have been in the news before and a White House official confirmed Sunday to Bloomberg News that those names are prominent on Obama's list of replacements...
