The value of Christians’ political contributions

OneNewsNow

A former Navy chaplain and pro-family activist believes it's time for the church of Jesus Christ to get fully involved in the American political process.

Last week, Democrats on the Conference committee insisted on stripping an amendment from the 2013 National Defense Authorization Act that would have prevented military chapel facilities from being used to perform same-sex "marriage" ceremonies. The amendment, passed by the House on December 20, would have prevented any further incidents like the two lesbian ceremonies recently performed at West Point.

Obama gets second term

OneNewsNow

Even with voting results from two vital "swing states" still outstanding, Barack Obama has been declared the winner in his long political battle with GOP challenger Mitt Romney.

Needing 270 electoral votes to make it official, the president was declared the winner of Ohio's 18 votes shortly after 11:00 p.m. (Eastern) on Tuesday night -- running his total to 275. Within minutes of that announcement, the Romney campaign challenged the Ohio call because of that state's very close popular vote.

Prediction: Romney to Win Presidential Election 285-253

LifeNews.com

LifeNews is projecting that pro-life Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney will win tomorrow’s presidential election and defeat President Barack Obama 285-253 in the Electoral College vote.

Predicting the winner of the presidential election is usually not terribly difficult, but predicting the exact Electoral College breakdown is an unscientific art. That is especially complicated by polling data this year that doesn’t reflect the attitude of Americans heading into Election Day.

LifeNews.com

In the election between pro-abortion President Barack Obama and former Governor Mitt Romney, there is a wide chasm between the two when it comes to the concerns pro-life voters have about abortion.

Whereas Obama has crafted a lengthy pro-abortion record, with more than 240 anti-life actions and a zealous effort to keep virtually unlimited abortions in place for another 40 years, Mitt Romney has taken pro-life positions that should earn him the vote of every pro-life voter on election day.

Romney Early Voting Lead Could Portend Election Victory

Mitt Romney holds a strong lead in early voting results that could pave the way for an election victory over pro-abortion President Barack Obama.

Yesterday, Gallup leased a new poll showing Romney leading Obama in early voting, something that had been a key part of the Obama campaign strategy. The polling firm also reported that more Republicans than Democrats have already voted by a margin of 19 to 15 percent.

Obama’s Next Four Years May be Worse Than the Last Four

LifeNews.com

Thomas Peters of CatholicVote puts the 2012 presidential election in perspective in a new blog post outlining 10 reasons why the next four years under President Barack Obama could be a worse setback for the pro-life cause than his first four.

Peters, whose organization endorsed Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan because of their pledge to advance pro-life values in the White House, rightly focuses on the long-term entrenchment of abortion at the Supreme Court level as the number one reason. If Obama is re-elected, it is likely he will have appointed about half or more of the members of the Supreme Court — perhaps cementing unlimited abortions for another 40 years:

President Barack Obama clearly showed up for Tuesday night's second presidential debate and Mitt Romney stood toe to toe with the president in such critical issues as the violence in the Middle East and energy policy. But determining the winner has sparked new debate among supporters of each candidate.

A CBS instant poll taken immediately after the debate showed Obama winning with 37 percent and 30 percent claiming Romney won. Another 33 percent called the face-off a tie.

LifeNews.com

In an interview with the Columbus Dispatch newspaper, presidential candidate Mitt Romney said, once again, that he wants the Supreme Court to overturn the infamous Roe v. Wade decision that has paved the way for 55 million abortions.

Romney wants states to be able to protect unborn children and, in his interview with the newspaper, indicated overturning Roe was more possible in the current political climate than a Human Life Amendment.

Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney made his pro-life views clear today in response to a question from a reporter on the campaign trail in Ohio.

Planned Parenthood Sinks $800K Into More Ads Attacking Romney

The Planned Parenthood abortion business is expanding its advertising campaign attacking presidential hopeful Mitt Romney, this time adding $800,000 worth of ads in the battleground state of Colorado.

Planned Parenthood Votes, a pro-choice super PAC linked to Planned Parenthood, purchase the television air time to run spots in the Denver metro area that attack Romney for his statement earlier this year that he would “get rid” of Planned Parenthood funding. The ad also goes after Romney for his repeated statements that he favors overturning the Roe v. Wade Supreme Court decision that allowed virtually unlimited abortions throughout pregnancy.

Romney trying to seize momentum post-debate

Republican Mitt Romney is trying to ride a wave of momentum from a strong debate performance against President Barack Obama and reset the presidential campaign as the government releases new unemployment data providing the latest update on the nation's economy.

Obama, seeking to rebound from a subpar debate performance, is accusing Romney of being dishonest about how his policies would affect the tax bills of middle-class families and the Medicare benefits of retirees _ a squabble that has even injected Big Bird into the race.

Media and Polls are Wrong: We Can Defeat Barack Obama

LifeNews.com

The mainstream media is working overtime to ensure pro-abortion President Barack Obama is reelected. What they’d like us to believe is that momentum is on Obama’s side and the Romney campaign is floundering.

After all, despair doesn’t exactly drive voters to the polls. Thankfully, as pro-life advocates, we know the games the media plays and we know not to be deterred. The media will write its narrative. It’s our job to prove them wrong.

After being introduced by Senator Marco Rubio (R-Florida), the presidential nominee approached the stage via an aisle lined with applauding delegates. The former Massachusetts governor, once he made it to the podium and quieted the cheering, wasted no time in addressing President Barack Obama's record on the economy -- and pointing out the philosophical differences between himself and the incumbent.

"He had almost no experience working in a business. Jobs to him are about government," said Romney. "I learned the real lessons about how America works from experience."
