Washington, DC – Operation Rescue has released a one-minute video that decries the Obama Administration contraception order as nothing short of tyranny. The order forces faith-based organizations to pay for insurance for birth control pills, including the abortifacient Plan B morning after pill.

The order was released by Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius, a radical supporter of unrestricted abortion, and gives faith based organizations one year to come into compliance with the forced funding.

“Many religious organizations in this nation have strong religious convictions against birth control pills, abortion causing drugs, and sterilization. It is against everything this nation stands for to force these religious groups to violate their deeply held religious beliefs and doctrines in order to satisfy a pro-abortion administration’s agenda that panders to the sex-peddlers of Planned Parenthood,” said Troy Newman, President of Operation Rescue and Pro-Life Nation.

Columbus, Ohio — Operation Rescue has sent one if its Truth Trucks to Ohio in support of efforts to pass legislation known as the Heartbeat Bill. The pro-life group Created Equal launched an awareness campaign using the billboard-sized banners mounted on a large box truck to encourage the Senate to move forward on the Heartbeat Bill, which passed handily in the House.

The Truth Truck features authenticated images of aborted baby remains along with text encouraging the Senate to take up House Bill 125, which would protect pre-born babies from abortion after a heartbeat has been detected. It would stop the majority of the approximately 28,000 abortions now taking place each year in Ohio.

“You’ve heard from the teddy bears, we’ve heard from the politicians, activists, women who regretted their abortions, Planned Parenthood, NARAL. It’s time the victims speak,” said Mark Harrington of Created Equal at a press conference on Tuesday.

“Every day the bill is delayed, babies die,” said Troy Newman, president of Operation Rescue and Pro-Life Nation. “We are asking the Ohio Senate to stop the delay tactics and put this bill on the agenda for an up or down vote.”

In addition, Harrington launched a graphic video showing actual abortion footage with images of recognizable body parts extracted during a first trimester abortion in order to drive the message home to voters as well as members of the Senate.

“A picture is worth a thousand words, and if the Senate is going to drag this out, they really should see what kind of carnage they are enabling,” said Newman. “We encourage the good people of Ohio to contact their senator and ask for them to move the Heartbeat Bill forward.

“Our point is this: each day the Senate delays a vote on HB 125 – seventy one babies die – ten every hour – one every six minutes. Let that sink in. One baby is brutally dismembered, decapitated or disemboweled every six minutes in this state,” said Harrington. “If HB 125 would have been passed into law at least 90% of these children would be alive today. In other words, these unnecessary delays in the Senate are responsible for 14,675 deaths.”

Philadelphia, PA – Abortionist Kermit Gosnell made a brief court appearance yesterday and entered a plea of not guilty to charges that he operated a pill mill out of his “house of horrors” abortion clinic between 2008 and January, 2010.

Gosnell is already being held without bail on seven murder charges for the deaths of one patient and the killings of six new born babies who were born alive them killed by stabbing and cutting their spinal cords with scissors. Nine of his unlicensed and unqualified employees were charged with him various charges from murder to participating in a corrupt organization. Since then six have pled guilty — three to murder charges — to avoid being tried with Gosnell.

The drug charges were added to Gosnell’s long list of abortion-related charges last month.

Authorities raided the medical offices of Kermit Gosnell in January, 2010, on suspicion that he was operating a pill mill that was the largest source of illegal painkillers sold on the streets of his city. That was when they discovered a squalid “house of horrors” where illegal late-term abortions were done on drugged, dazed women, where the late-term babies were born alive then murdered by severing their spinal cords with scissors, and where the severed feet of those late-term babies were kept in jars as trophies.

Gosnell is expected to be tried on the abortion-infant murder charges in March, 2013. He could face the death penalty if convicted.

Attorneys for both sides of the abortion and drug cases have been placed under a gag order.

“We are thankful for the aggressive prosecution of Gosnell for all his crimes. The courage of the District Attorney’s office is commendable and has led to many reforms nationwide that have resulted in dangerous abortion clinics closing and new laws that will make women and their pre-born babies a little safer,” said Troy Newman, President of Operation Rescue and the new Pro-Life Nation. “We look forward to Gosnell’s day in court where we pray his victims will receive the justice they deserve under the law.”
