• US News and Hot Air report on ousted Ohio Democratic Rep. Steve Driehaus, who is now suing the Susan B. Anthony List because he believes they contributed to his election loss. From US News:

Now there are lots of things said by outside interest groups during the heat of political campaigns that turn out to be untrue. What the SBA List said about the so-called pro-life Democrats who gave Obama the votes he needed to pass healthcare just doesn’t happen to be one of them….
Driehaus’s suit… goes directly at the heart of our First Amendment protections and criminalizes what is at least a difference of opinion….
What is equally curious, however, is why Judge [Timothy S.] Black has allowed the case to move forward and why he did not recuse himself from it since… he apparently is the former president and director of the Planned Parenthood Association of Cincinnati. As seeming conflicts of interest go this one is a real humdinger.

• Star Studded Super Step shows a video from the Dallas area, demonstrating how Planned Parenthood uses young teens (age 13+) in the Teenage Communication Theatre to promote comprehensive sex ed. By utilizing peer pressure, PP seeks to normalize sex among teens, who are impulsive risk-takers by nature, thereby building their core business of abortion:

• Secular ProLife examines the claim that pro-lifers are “anti-sex”: People shouldn’t have sex until they are ready, and people certainly shouldn’t have unprotected sex if they aren’t prepared to handle the baby who may be conceived as a result. But that doesn’t make the pro-life movement anti-sex. It makes us anti-irresponsible-sex.
  
• Right to Life of Michigan reports that legislation has been passed requiring aborted children to be buried or cremated rather than disposed of in dumpsters – just like other human remains. I suppose now people won’t have to accidentally face the truth about what abortion does to preborn humans. I’m not sure this is progress.
• Rock for Life shares video of Skillet lead singer John Cooper, explaining the band’s song entitled, “Lucy,” which is about a couple’s grief after choosing to abort their child:

• Wesley J. Smith discusses the fact that abortion proponents really wish conscience protections didn’t exist. A current example is playing out in Washington, where Catholic Providence Health purchased Swedish Medical Center, which caused Swedish to refer abortion patients to Planned Parenthood of the Great Northwest instead of providing abortions themselves. Hysteria and predictions of women dying in back alleys has predictably ensued. Choice does not appear to be enough… pro-aborts want widespread approval for the killing of the preborn.
• ProWomanProLife shares the results of a “happiness study” given to persons with Down syndrome: We analyzed valid and reliable survey instruments from 284 people with DS on the mailing lists of 6 non-profit DS organizations around the country. Among those surveyed, nearly 99%
  of people with DS indicated that they were happy with their lives, 97% liked who they are, and 96% liked howthey look. Nearly 99% people with DS expressed love for their families, and 97% liked their brothers and sisters.
  Abortion proponents are quick to bring up “quality of life” issues regarding persons with disabilities, but in this case, it’s clear that those with DS are happy and grateful to be alive.
• Parenting Freedom hosts a video which asks, “What would you do if you had no fear” on the issue of natural family planning:
