Pro-life Wisconsin is raising serious questions about information gathered by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) since information was inappropriately shared with the Middleton (Wisconsin) Police Department.

Peggy Hamill, director of Pro-Life Wisconsin, tells OneNewsNow the federal agency has acknowledged the "threat assessment."

"The Homeland Security Civil Rights Department concluded that the investigation had been an improper use of department resources and also inappropriately directed against activities protected by the First Amendment," she reports.

The agency concluded law enforcement inappropriately engaged in the collection, retention, and sharing of information on groups protesting a University of Wisconsin abortion facility...

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.

America saw Focus on the Family’s Pam and Tim Tebow Super Bowl TV ad that contained a pro-life message, and the world continued to turn as NFL fans watched the New Orleans Saints win their first Super Bowl.

While the much talked about TV spot was denounced by pro-choice groups who demanded that CBS not air the ad, the harmless nature of the content, which included a short re-cap of Ms. Tebow explaining why she is happy today that she chose to give birth to son Tim, now a college football star for the Florida Gators, instead of aborting him, as she was being pushed by doctors in 1987 who said he would be a stillborn as a result of a life-threatening infection Ms. Tebow had.

Since the Tebow ad failed to up the ante of outrage pro-choice feminists were hoping for, The National Organization of Women decided to attempt to produce outrage over the playful tackle Mr.

Pennsylvania abortion statistics reflect accuracy of the Maafa 21 documentary, a production by Life Dynamics.

Pennsylvania Pro-Life Federation spokesperson Maria Vitale tells OneNewsNow that abortions rose six percent in the state in 2008. "This is according to new figures released by the Pennsylvania Department of Health," she reports. "It appears that this sharp increase follows a rapid rise in the number of black and Hispanic abortions, so we really believe that the abortion industry is targeting blacks and Hispanics."

Maafa 21 documents Planned Parenthood as part of the eugenics movement launched by Margaret Sanger to reduce minority population, including that of Hispanics and African-Americans.

Vitale believes pro-life organizations need to upgrade outreach to minority groups. "We need to do our best to get the word out to the black community and the Hispanic community that there is support available for them to choose life for their children," she encourages....

Viewers primed for controversy over a Christian ministry's Super Bowl ad featuring football star Tim Tebow might be asking, "Is that all there is?"

Focus on the Family revealed beforehand that the ad would feature Tebow and his mother, Pam, who gave birth to him in 1987 after rejecting a doctor's advice to have an abortion for medical reasons. But if abortion rights groups hadn't protested, you might never have known what the ad was about.

The closest it comes to mentioning abortion is when Pam Tebow says, "I call him my miracle baby. He almost didn't make it into this world. I can remember so many times when I almost lost him."...

Washington, DC (LifeNews.com) -- A national Catholic business group is slated to present an award to former President George W. Bush tonight honoring him for his lengthy record combating abortions during his administration. The event will also see Legatus honoring Cardinal Francis George and hearing from Newt Gingrich.

Bush will receive the prestigious Cardinal John J. O’Connor Pro-Life Award because Legatus says Bush was consistent in his promotion of the pro-life ethic as president.

"You could argue that he was the most pro-life president in our lifetime," the group's executive director, John Hunt, told Zenit today.

"He is very deserving, and since he is coming to us, we wanted to use this as an opportunity to tell him in a very specific and tangible way how appreciative we are," Hunt added...

The national director for Generation Life says it comes as no surprise that liberal groups are upset over a Super Bowl ad featuring Tim Tebow and his mother.

Focus on the Family produced the 30-second spot, which is slated to run during the CBS broadcast on Sunday and reportedly will feature Pam Tebow recounting her decision to carry Tim to full-term, despite a doctor's advice to have an abortion due to health concerns.

Liberal and feminist groups were quick to denounce the ad, even though it has yet to be previewed, and Brandi Swindell, founder and national director of Generation Life, contends the heated opposition shows the liberal groups' true colors...

Washington, DC (LifeNews.com) -- Tim Tebow, the Heisman Trophy-winning quarterback who is garnering national attention for appearing in a pro-life television commercial to air during the Super Bowl, will attend the National Prayer Breakfast on Thursday. His appearance will contrast that of pro-abortion President Barack Obama.

Tebow will not only attend the highly-respected event held in the nation's capital, but his agent, Susan Vanderlinde, confirmed to Politico that he will likely speak there.

“Yes, I believe he is [slated to speak at the National Prayer Breakfast,]" Vanderlinde confirmed.

Tebow's appearance will contrast with that of Obama, who plans to attend the event as well along with several lawmakers, because his is strongly pro-life while Obama has crafted a lengthy pro-abortion record since taking over the White House...

Washington, DC (LifeNews.com) -- The potential 2012 Republican presidential candidates all raised significant amounts of money for their political action committees last year. Each of the potential challengers to pro-abortion President Barack Obama not only received hefty donations but also doled out money to pro-life candidates.

The associated with former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, the 2008 vice-presidential nominee, raised $1.4 million in the second half of last year and $2.1 million through all of 2009.

The records show most of the income coming in after she stepped down as the governor of Alaska to focus more time to speaking out on issues.

According to a filing made Saturday to the Federal Election Commission, Sarah PAC received most of its support by way of small donations...

Washington, DC (LifeNews.com) -- Current and former football players are weighing in and they support college football superstar and his family in their television commercial that will run during the Super Bowl. Focus on the Family has purchased time for an ad that will focus on how Tebow's mother Pam refused to have an abortion.

Pam Tebow was pregnant with Tim Tebow when she was on a missions trip to the Philippines and when she took heavy medication after getting dysentery her doctor suggested an abortion because the drugs could harm the baby.

She refused and Tebow has gone on to win the Heisman Trophy and lead the Florida Gators to a national championship.

As Baptist Press indicates, Christian players interviewed at the Pro Bowl expressed strong support for Tebow's family and the ad...
