Washington, DC (LifeNews.com) -- Democrats in Washington are continuing to push for the controversial reconciliation strategy to railroad the pro-abortion government-run health care bill through Congress. And Republicans continue blasting the upcoming health care summit as a charade and "infomercial" for the bill.

Meanwhile, President Barack Obama is reportedly writing a revised health care bill that can be attached to a budget bill and receive approval in the Senate on a majority vote.

The idea behind the Obama bill, or a corrections measure that allows the House to adopt the pro-abortion Senate bill, is to rely on the reconciliation process to get around the Republican filibuster and make it so only 51 votes are needed to approve the bill...

A student-led human rights group has gone undercover at abortion clinics around the country to expose what they say is illegal activity in the name of women's rights.

Members of the group Live Action claim many Planned Parenthood clinics are breaking the law by concealing sexual abuse, failing to report statutory rape to police, and giving young pregnant girls false information about fetal development...

Washington, DC (LifeNews.com) -- The Obama administration is supposedly fostering bipartisanship at next week's White House health care summit, but it will likely be floating its version of the pro-abortion health care bill this weekend. The proposal will likely be designed to guide the House and Senate in the controversial reconciliation process.

John Rother, director of policy for the AARP, which is working closely with the White House on the proposal, says it could be unveiled this weekend.

“That’s going to be the White House version of the deal between House and Senate leaders on what they think the bill should look like,” he told CQ. “That will in effect be the starting point for the conference on the 25th."

The summit will supposedly give Republicans a chance to participate because Congress moves ahead with reconciliation, but it appears more likely each day that Democrats will attempt to railroad the pro-abortion health care bill through Congress...

Washington, DC (LifeNews.com) -- Visitor logs reveal what pro-life advocates suspected would happen once President Barack Obama took over as president. He and his administration have allowed the Planned Parenthood abortion business unfettered access to the White House and top staffers.

The visitor logs reveal Planned Parenthood president Cecile Richards has visited the White House and spent time with Obama administration officials on four occasions.

The documents show Obama wasted little time in giving Richards access, with her first visit coming on January 20 -- the date of Obama's inauguration -- for a luncheon reception with 299 total people.

Richards' next visit appears undocumented in the visitor logs.

The Obama administration put together a White House health care summit in March 2009 which saw Richards and Planned Parenthood invited to promote abortion while pro-life groups were left out...

Signatures are being submitted as Mississippi voters seek the opportunity to decide on a Personhood amendment, and Colorado residents may once again have the chance to determine when a person is legally a person.

The Mississippi petition drive needed a little over 89,000 valid signatures to put the issue on the ballot, and Les Riley, head of the Personhood Mississippi campaign, reports that results in that area have surpassed requirements.

"I don't have final totals yet, but we're going to [have] well over 120,000 total signatures," he says. "We've got probably 105,000 now certified."

The petition's overwhelming success could mean voters could make a decision in 2011.

"We've got a couple of legal hurdles to get over, but [we're] very confident that our friends at Liberty Counsel will be able to help us there and that Mississippians will vote next year to make abortion illegal in our state, to give equal rights to all human beings and to set up a challenge to Roe vs.

Washington, DC (LifeNews.com) -- Susan B. Anthony is often considered one of the earliest leaders for women's rights but, as Americans remember her today on their birthday, pro-life groups point out that she was vehemently pro-life. Though modern-day women's groups promote abortion, Anthony would not have joined them.

America’s most well-known women’s rights leader was born 190 years ago today, on February 15, 1820.

The president of the Susan B. Anthony List, a national organization named for the pro-life suffragette, reflected on Anthony’s largely unknown pro-life legacy.

“If Susan B. Anthony were alive today, she would be overjoyed by the strength of the growing American pro-life majority,” said Marjorie Dannenfelser, the head of the group that helps elect pro-life women to office...

Richmond, Va. - Abortion-rights advocates have been unable to halt the "Choose Life" license plate variations in nearly two-dozen states, so now they're working to balance the bumper debate.

Activists are pushing a "Trust Women/Respect Choice" license plate in Virginia, which would become only the fourth state to offer a pro-choice plate and the first to require legislative approval for it. Supporters have threatened to sue if lawmakers don't give drivers the option.

"We really don't feel like a license plate is the place to be promoting a political agenda," said Tarina Keene, executive director of NARAL Pro-Choice Virginia. "However, the pro-choice community feels like they're being taken on by the anti-choice side with this license plate, and we feel like we need to get involved."

Opponents, including the state's attorney general and governor, say they oppose diverting money from plate fees to Planned Parenthood offices not necessarily the plates themselves...

Washington, DC (LifeNews.com) -- The head of a national pro-life group says there is a lesson to be learned from the Alabama health department's placing a Planned Parenthood abortion center on a one year probation. However, President Barack Obama doesn't appear to have learned that lessen because he wants more funding for Planned Parenthood.

As LifeNews.com has reported, the Alabama health department responded to an undercover video showing a Birmingham Planned Parenthood staffer covering up a potential sexual abuse case and ignoring the state's parental consent on abortion law.

Alabama officials reviewed the evidence, conducted their own probe -- which found numerous violations of both the consent and the statutory rape reporting law -- and they slapped the Birmingham clinic with a year-long probation...

Washington, DC (LifeNews.com) -- In a new interview, the director of the White House Office of Faith-Based and Neighborhood Partnerships contends the Obama administration is still working on a plan to reduce abortions. In the 13 months since Barack Obama became president, he's promoted abortion and the office has produced nothing.

The faith office last held a meeting in May to discuss how to reduce abortions and promote adoption, and that meeting produced significant skepticism from pro-life advocates that the Obama administration was serious about reducing abortions.

In fact, one top Obama staffer admitted that the goal of the office and its eventual plan is not to reduce abortions but to reduced the "need" for them.

In an exclusive interview with CBN News lead correspondent David Brody, Joshua DuBois, the director of the office, sought to reassure pro-life advocates that a plan is forthcoming...

Washington, DC (LifeNews.com) -- Just as they defended the pro-life Tim Tebow commercial before it aired during the Super Bowl, newspaper columnists are defending the commercial from the latest attack by the pro-abortion National Organization for Women (NOW) claiming it promoted domestic violence.

The ads feature Pam Tebow sharing her story of how Tim Tebow "almost didn't make it into this world" because of her tough pregnancy. Tebow was advised by her doctors to consider an abortion, but she refused.

In an attempt to mirror the humorous nature of most Super Bowl commercials, the Focus on the Family in-game ad shows Tebow tackling his mom and his mother playfully scolding him for interrupting her.

That was too much for NOW president Terry O'Neill, who told the Los Angeles Times the ad glorified violence against women: "I am blown away at the celebration of the violence against women in it. That's what comes across to me even more strongly than the anti-abortion message.
