The Obama administration is demanding that New Hampshire restore funding to Planned Parenthood.

Curt Wuelper of New Hampshire Right to Life finds it difficult to understand why the administration is trying to protect Planned Parenthood. He says what the state's executive council decided was simply to take its money elsewhere.

"They funded ten other health centers to do the same services that Planned Parenthood does. The only one they didn't fund was Planned Parenthood," notes Wuelper. (WH threatens state over Planned Parenthood funding )

(Billy's Thoughts>>>> Why is Obama  fighting a state that has decided to use the tax payers money some place else. Instead of fighting this state Obama should follow their example and remove all funding from P.P. He keeps telling us the government doesn't have the money to mail the checks out to older Americans well this might help the government be able to do that. I guess this is showing Obama's true colors and that is he is a radical from the left who has never opposed a single abortion.) 

The well-funded, fiscally conservative Club for Growth will not go after Republican House members for backing House Speaker John Boehner's (R-Ohio) plan to pass a balanced-budget amendment and short-term debt-limit increase, the group announced Friday afternoon. ( Key Conservative Group Drops Opposition to Boehner Plan... )

House Republicans will link passage of a balanced-budget amendment to Speaker John Boehner’s (R-Ohio) last-ditch debt-ceiling plan, which GOP lawmakers said would move the measure to passage in a high-stakes vote later on Friday.

Republican lawmakers voiced confidence the enhanced bill would pass muster with conservatives, as Rep. Mo Brooks (R-Ala.) predicted the balanced-budget amendment change would bring 10 to 20 more GOP members on board.

Rep. Jeff Flake (R-Ariz.), a key holdout, and a Senate candidate, quickly took to Twitter after the meeting to say that he was a yes vote. The conservative Club for Growth also offered a tentative endorsement. (LET'S VOTE ) 

The Rev. John Stott, one of the most influential evangelical thinkers of the 20th Century, has died in London at the age of 90.

The Rev. Billy Graham released a statement saying, "The evangelical world has lost one of its greatest spokesmen, and I have lost one of my close personal friends and advisors." Graham and Stott were framers of the 1974 Lausanne Covenant, which helped define modern evangelicalism. (Evangelical leader John Stott dies at 90 )

Republican Herman Cain is apologizing to Muslim leaders for remarks he made about Islam while campaigning for the presidential nomination. (Cain apologizes after meeting with Muslim leaders )

The former Godfather's Pizza CEO has said communities have a right to ban Islamic mosques because Muslims are trying to inject sharia law into the U.S. He's also said he would not want a Muslim bent on killing Americans in his administration. (See earlier story)

(Billy's Thoughts>>> Why is it our leaders and those who want to lead us are so worried about upsetting followers of Islam. They aren't concern with  the feelings of followers of Jesus in their nations.)

The national African-American pro-life coalition has released part two of a powerful three-part video series on abortion that creators hope will impact everyone who watches.

Ryan Bomberger heads The Radiance Foundation and is a co-founder of the National Black ProLife Coalition. He points to the fact that more than one-third of the abortions in America kill black babies in the womb. The video series is part of the "Numbers Don't Lie" campaign.

"The newest video is entitled 'Number 1 Killer,' and it's showing how the number of abortions in the black community outnumber the sum of all other causes of death combined," Bomberger reports. "It also ... calls out certain black leaders who have basically turned on their own constituency by embracing abortion and Planned Parenthood."

In response to a lawsuit filed by an atheist group, a Christian law firm says it's filing a "friend of the court" brief backing the placement of a cross at the museum commemorating the events of 9-11.

The American Center for Law & Justice (ACLJ) is filing the amicus brief in support of the World Trade Center Memorial & Museum in New York City. It wants to incorporate the 17-foot-tall "WTC cross," which consists of two intersecting steel beams that held up when the Twin Towers collapsed on September 11, 2001, as part of a memorial of what happened that fateful day.

Approval of a plan by House of Representatives Speaker John Boehner would break the inertia in Washington over a debt crisis that has spooked markets and raised the prospect that the government of the world's largest economy will run out of money to pay its bills in less than a week.

President Barack Obama has threatened to veto the bill and a majority of the Democratic-controlled Senate has vowed to vote against it.

But a successful vote in the House would give the bill legitimacy and make it a crucial element of the legislative chess game that is likely to play out up to August 2. (CLOSE VOTE)

(Billy's Thoughts>>> I have mixed feelings on this plan but the one thing which is helping me to support it is Obama has said he doesn't like it and  might veto  it. Those of you who are part of the Tea Party don't forget we have to take what we can get. We also need to keep our eyes on the big prize.  If this plan is defeated  it might help Obama gain support which we mean all the gains made in the last election would be for nothing. So I say lets support this. )

Jittery Norwegians tried to restore some normality five days after the bloodshed, despite a security alert forcing the evacuation of Oslo station, keeping nerves on edge. (Norway PM promises security review after killings)

(Billy's Thoughts>>> Please pray for the people of Norway. Pray this horrible event might be used to draw the people of that nation to the things of God.)
