Overview:
Planned Parenthood Doesn't Need Our Taxes.  Planned Parenthood is an industrial-scale baby abattoir responsible for more than 300,000 American deaths annually and a degradation of human dignity on the order of Josef Mengele, and the urgent issue of the day is whether it should be privately or publicly funded.  Democrats are for the latter.  Republicans are of the more modest opinion that if you want to slaughter your child in utero, you should have to pay for it yourself.  That is what would happen if congressional Republicans succeed in defunding Planned Parenthood, which they currently plan to do as part of the process of dismantling President Obama's Affordable Care Act.  Planned Parenthood is the recipient of more than $500 million annually in taxpayer dollars ($528.4 million in fiscal year 2013-14), or about 40 percent of its annual revenue.  Under the Hyde amendment, the organization is technically prohibited from using this money to finance abortions.  In reality, the amendment simply provides a $500-million cushion atop which Planned Parenthood can conduct its slaughterous business — and the technical separation of funds depends entirely on Planned Parenthood being scrupulous in its accounting, which it isn't, to put it mildly.

Sneaky Joe honors Planned Parenthood operative with Presidential Medal of Freedom behind closed doors.  [Joe Biden is] 83.  His party threw him out.  He's on his way out from the White House with a big pension, lifetime Secret Service protection, and a big state funeral.  In short, he owes no one.  He has no need "to be good" because political horsetrading is over, he needs nothing, and no one needs him.  So what does Biden do?  Showers a Planned Parenthood operative with U.S. honors — away from the public eye. [...] So abortion is no longer a "regrettable necessity" or "private" and "agonizing" decision in this person's mind, it's a celebratory act of affirmation to be told to all.  What's more, this person did a lot to ensure that everyone out there without certain scruples got one.  She's reportedly responsible for 314,000 abortions, which involve an agonizing death for the baby involved and often the cutting up of the baby and selling him or her for spare parts to morally unconcerned medical researchers.

Planned Parenthood Caught Selling 23-Week-Old Aborted Babies to University for Research.  The nation's biggest abortion business has been shown once again to be selling the body parts of aborted babies.  The latest expose' of the Planned Parenthood abortion giant comes via never- before-seen documents released under a California public records request.  They show Planned Parenthood selling 23-week-old aborted babies to a university for dubious research[.]  Newly revealed documents show Planned Parenthood supplying UC San Diego with aborted babies parts from unborn babies killed in elective abortions , including viable babies up to 23 weeks.  The agreements suggest the use of fetal material for research projects in exchange for potential intellectual property rights.

Planned Parenthood sold bodies of 'viable' babies to University of California, new docs reveal.  Newly obtained documents show that Planned Parenthood supplied the University of California San Diego (UCSD) with "viable" dead babies up to six months old in exchange for patent deals, renewing suspicions that the nation's largest abortion chain could be committing partial-birth abortions and even infanticide in violation of federal law.  The pro-life Center for Medical Progress (CMP) revealed Thursday that a public records request turned up a research plan submitted to and approved by the UCSD Institutional Review Board (IRB) that states, "We will collect tissues from fetuses ranging from 4 to 23 weeks' gestational age from subjects undergoing elective surgical pregnancy termination at Planned Parenthood in San Diego," including on patients with "viable non anomalous" — i.e., capable of surviving outside the womb, and not having abnormalities that would complicate their survivability or quality of life.

'Catholic' Biden Awards Medal to Baby Killer-in-Chief.  As another proof of the fact that Joe Biden is less Catholic than a steak on a Lenten Friday, the Meanderer-in-Chief just awarded the Medal of Freedom to a former president of abortion giant Planned Parenthood.  Ah, for the days when American presidents believed in our founding principle of the right to life.  Abortions kill unborn babies by dismemberment, head crushing, and other unspeakably horrific methods.  They also have numerous negative effects on women's mental and physical health.  Yet a woman who oversaw Planned Parenthood during a period when it murdered almost 4 million babies in cruel, tortuous ways has just been awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom by "Catholic" Joe Biden.  Biden's X account posted, "Today, I had the honor of awarding Cecile Richards the Presidential Medal of Freedom.  With absolute courage, she fearlessly leads us forward to be the America we say we are — a nation of freedom."  Democrats are disgusting in how they apply such sacred words as freedom to anti-American evils such as abortion.

Is It Bad Enough Yet?  In 2016 California AG [Kamala] Harris prosecuted whistleblower David Daleiden, who exposed Planned Parenthood's (PP) role in selling organs and body tissues from aborted children.  She ordered California DOJ agents to raid Daleiden's home and seize files and equipment he used to make his undercover videos.  Charges against Daleiden include recording the PP executives without their permission.  Selling aborted baby body parts isn't the problem, the problem is documenting and exposing the crime.  It's worth noting that PP has contributed heavily to Harris's campaigns.  Daleiden is reportedly still awaiting trial on the felony counts in San Francisco Superior Court while the PP staffers who are on video discussing the illegal sale of aborted baby body parts have not been charged.

Dichotomies.  International Planned Parenthood Federation's "Deliver Enable Toolkit" shows teachers how to scale "comprehensive sexuality education" for children under age 10 — going so far as to present the exploitation of women through prostitution, as a normal "interpersonal relationship."  According to Planned Parenthood's Toolkit, "Commercial sex work" is as normal as working in a hardware store or being an office manager.  Maybe more so.  Really?  Katie Brown, American Life League's national director, noted:  "Public schools are allowing the organization that killed almost 393,000 preborn children by abortion in 2023 unfettered access to thousands of elementary, middle, and high school students in their classrooms."  She added, "And it is spending taxpayer dollars to do so."  Which, perversely, might be why a judge recently rejected a request to suspend the sale of a city-owned property to the Virginia League of Planned Parenthood for just $10.

I Worked At Planned Parenthood For 17 Years.  Here's Why I Am Saying No To Kamala.  When I fled civil unrest and violence in Mexico City for the United States as a young girl, I had no idea that I would eventually become sucked into another violent regime: the U.S. abortion industry.  Unfortunately, the 17 years I spent working as an employee of Planned Parenthood opened my eyes to unspeakable horrors inflicted on babies and moms that Democrat politicians like Kamala Harris facilitate.  Today, as Vice President Kamala Harris seeks to win the White House, I hope my story serves as a warning that Harris' laundry list of incompetency and injustice against immigrants and women make her unfit to lead our nation.  Planned Parenthood hired me back in 2000, I believe in large part because I was undocumented, which made me a useful envoy to the immigrant community.  Over the next 17 years, the organization groomed me into one of their leading employees.  Yet as I was showered with bonuses, titles and even Planned Parenthood's 2016 "Employee of the Year," I began uncovering the truth about the coercion and exploitation the organization relied upon as part of its business model.

Chicago Cardinal Blesses DNC Without Mentioning Jesus.  Cardinal Blase Cupich, the progressive Catholic Archbishop of Chicago, offered the invocation for the Democratic National Convention (DNC) Monday without ever mentioning Jesus Christ.  Calling him simply the "God of all creation," Cardinal Cupich invoked the divinity without witnessing to Jesus or calling out the moral evil around him.  Planned Parenthood of America, the United States' biggest abortion provider, publicly offered free abortions and vasectomies for the duration of the DNC, in keeping with its steadfast support for the Democratic party, which advocates abortion on demand during the nine months of pregnancy.  "Planned Parenthood has long been the driving force behind the culture of death," American Life League President Judie Brown said in a statement.  "The Democratic party has been at the forefront of fueling the Planned Parenthood engine," Brown said.  "Now that PP has chosen to provide free child killing at the DNC, the combination, or should we say bloody wedding, is complete."

Planned Parenthood Sneaks Into Small Town to Set Up Abortion Business.  Documents recently uncovered by the Family Council in Little Rock, Arkansas, revealed that Planned Parenthood Great Plains secretly purchased a building in Pittsburg, Kansas, through a string of property investment limited liability companies, one of which is based in Little Rock.  The 990 tax form for Planned Parenthood Great Plains reveals the following connections:  [Chart]  On April 10, Southeast Kansas Property Investment LLC secured a building permit for the location at 2310 Tucker Terrace in Pittsburg.  The description indicated the permit was for a "health center remodel, exam and lab remodel, gutted and turned into the front entrance." [...] Pittsburg is a small town with a population of just over 20,000.  Though small, there are numerous reasons that Planned Parenthood would target the town.  It is the home of Pittsburg University, a public university with enrollment of over 6,500, and is located only 5 miles from the Missouri state line and under 30 miles from the Oklahoma state line.  Both border states are abortion free.

Kamala Harris Ordered Raid on Undercover Journalist Who Exposed Planned Parenthood's Sale of Baby Parts.  Former California Attorney General Kamala Harris ordered a raid on David Daleiden, founder of the Center for Medical Progress, who exposed Planned Parenthood's heinous practice of selling aborted baby parts.  The Gateway Pundit reported earlier that Planned Parenthood was caught admitting to this barbaric activity, and Kamala Harris, instead of investigating the illegal trafficking of fetal organs, went after the journalist who brought the truth to light.  The controversy began in 2015 when Daleiden, posing as a laboratory wholesaler, secretly recorded conversations with top officials at Planned Parenthood Gulf Coast, including Dr. Ann Schutt-Ainé, the chief medical officer, and Tram Nguyen, RN, the branch's vice president of abortion access.

How Did Planned Parenthood Become One of the Country's Largest Suppliers of Testosterone?  For Cristina Hineman, the situation felt urgent: the 17-year-old needed treatment at Planned Parenthood, where she knew she wouldn't be subjected to humiliating questions, or an unnecessary waiting period, or lectures, or prying about her certainty.  But it wasn't an abortion she sought.  It was testosterone.  Planned Parenthood was founded a century ago to promote birth control.  Today, its nearly 600 clinics nationwide make it the largest single provider of abortion, contraception, reproductive care, and sex education in the U.S.  It has also, in less than a decade, become the country's leading provider of gender transition hormones for young adults, according to insurance claim data.  In 2015, around two dozen of their clinics began offering this service.  Now it's available at nearly 450 locations.

The 'Crime' Harris Was Toughest on was Journalism.  Finally, Congress has taken an interest in the work done by investigative journalist David Daleiden and his colleague Sandra Merritt nearly a decade ago.  A week ago, for instance, Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene released the full versions of subpoenaed undercover videos that were featured at the March hearing, "Investigating the Black Market of Baby Organ Harvesting."  As shocking as the videos are and as evil as the practice is, the more immediate problem is the possible election of presidential candidate Kamala Harris.  While attorney general of the trend-setting California, Harris helped usher in the age of proto-fascism even before it was cool.  In an eye-opening email to mentor James O'Keefe, Daleiden described the brutal role Harris played in protecting her benefactor, Planned Parenthood, from his and Merritt's investigation. [...]

Planned Parenthood Abortion Biz Will Spend $40 Million Supporting Biden and Democrats.  The Planned Parenthood abortion business has revealed a $40 million commitment for the 2024 election cycle, intending to bolster its lucrative abortion business and endorse President Joe Biden along with prominent congressional Democrats.  This announcement follows the U.S. Supreme Court's reversal of Roe v. Wade two years ago, which ended the made-up "right" to abortion.  Planned Parenthood's initiative seeks to support candidates nationwide who advocate for abortion rights.  The heavy election investment comes after the abortion giant got hundreds of millions of tax dollars.

The Size Of Planned Parenthood's Global Murder Campaign Will Shock You.  Planned Parenthood's recent expansion to supply mail-order drugs for on-demand abortions allows women to request the pills via app and have them shipped to their homes.  With no appointment necessary, women in Illinois, Washington, Maryland, and Hawaii can submit a request for mifepristone and misoprostol, the two components of a chemical abortion, and within 24 hours the abortion facility mails out the drugs.  The disturbing reality is that abortions carried out by Planned Parenthood are the fourth-leading cause of death in the United States, and the group is a vast organization intent on bringing abortion to every corner of the globe.

America's fourth leading cause of death is abortion at the hands of Planned Parenthood.  What comes to mind when you think of the top causes of death in the U.S.?  Many people's thoughts immediately turn to killers like heart disease and cancer, but it turns out that the number-four spot actually goes to abortions carried out by Planned Parenthood.  The nation's biggest abortion provider reported performing more than 392,000 abortions between October 1, 2021, and September 30, 2022, in its 2022-2023 annual report, which amounts to killing 44 babies every hour.  According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, more than 695,000 people died from heart disease in the U.S. in 2021, while 605,000 died from cancer, 416,000 are said to have died from COVID-19, and just shy of 225,000 died from accidents.  As upsetting as it may be to think that almost 400,000 babies never got a chance at life thanks to this organization, that figure shouldn't be too surprising when you consider the fact that they recommended abortion to pregnant clients 97 percent of the time instead of suggesting alternatives such as adoption or supporting them in keeping their child.

Planned Parenthood Checklist:  More Abortions, Less Actual Health Care, More Tax Dollars Than Ever.  Planned Parenthood's 2022-2023 annual report is out.  Unlike last year's annual report, now we're finally able to see how the 2022 Dobbs decision overturning Roe v.  Wade is affecting Planned Parenthood's abortion numbers and bottom line.  Spoiler alert:  Abortions and government funding are at all-time highs.  Actual health care for things such as cancer screening and preventive care continues to decline.  More affiliates than ever are providing "transgender services."  [Many statistics.]

Planned Parenthood Killed 392,715 Babies in Abortions Last Year, a Record Number.  It was another record year for the abortion giant Planned Parenthood — killing more babies in abortions than ever before.  Although Planned Parenthood bills itself as a woman's health organization, in reality, it is little more than an abortion business.  Planned Parenthood just published its annual report, its own figures from the previous year.  And when it comes to abortions, the new report shows the abortion business killed 392,715 babies in abortions killed in the last year.  That's a 5% increase from the 2021-2022 figures.  That's over 1,075 babies killed in abortions every single day of the year or 44 dead babies every single hour.  That's in insane figure for a company that giant claims its main focus is merely women's health care.  It's a horrific number that is almost difficult to comprehend and far surpasses any genocide in human history.

Planned Parenthood Caught Selling Livers From Aborted Babies for $1,500 in New Undercover Videos.  The Planned Parenthood abortions business was exposed several years ago as one of the biggest sellers of body parts from aborted babies.  Over a dozen videos chronicled, how America's biggest abortion company kills babies in abortions and then potentially illegally sells their body parts to universities for grisly, unproven research.  Eventually, Planned Parenthood officials admitted under oath to doing this.  Now, unreleased footage from the initial series of videos from the Center for Medical Progress shows more of this shocking truth.  Previously censored undercover footage of Planned Parenthood abortion officials, played for the first time in a Congressional hearing on Tuesday, shows leadership from the nation's largest abortion provider admitting the "financial incentive" to sell aborted fetal body parts and describing how to mutilate fetal bodies to hide violations of the federal partial-birth abortion law.

Missouri AG Andrew Bailey Sues Planned Parenthood After KC Clinic Caught Trafficking Minors to Kansas For Abortions.  Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey filed suit against Planned Parenthood Great Plains Thursday after a Kansas City clinic was caught in a conspiracy to traffic minors out of state to obtain abortions without parental consent.  "Today, I'm proud to announce that the state of Missouri is moving forward with a lawsuit to permanently drive Planned Parenthood from the state of Missouri," Bailey announced.  [Tweet]  Planned Parenthood Great Plains has locations throughout Missouri that provide sexual and reproductive health care, as well as "gender-affirming care" services.  Planned Parenthood (PPFA) clinics in Missouri can no longer provide abortion services because the state made the practice illegal after the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade.

Black Principal Goes Off On Planned Parenthood Rep Handing Out Abortion Pamphlets To Young Black Students.  This school principal snapped on Planned Parenthood representatives for passing out pamphlets to her students.  Planned Parenthood appears to ALWAYS target the Black community.  Margaret Sanger, the found of Planned Parenthood and rabid racist who wanted to snuff out the black race through abortion would be proud of these efforts.  [Video clip]

Planned Parenthood Should Be Listed As A Domestic Terrorist Group.  Planned Parenthood should be listed as a domestic terrorist group, and I don't say that flippantly or to take away the seriousness of domestic terrorism.  I say it with sober and severe understanding.  The United States government-funded organization Planned Parenthood recently put out propaganda encouraging parents to go ahead and transition their children into whatever gender their toddler tells them they are today.  This is not a joke.  These people are very serious.  They want to destroy everything that represents the family and traditional values.

Planned Parenthood Caught Admitting It Does Secret Abortions on Teens "So the Parents Won't Find Out".  In a new video montage, the Planned Parenthood abortion business and other abortion clinic representatives are caught on camera admitting that they take teens to other states for secret abortions without their parents' consent.  The new Project Veritas expose' shows Emily, Kansas Planned Parenthood Managing Director admitting, "We do help people get to these places."  And in another clip, the undercover journalists asks if he needs any documentation about his relationship to a teen exploited for an abortion, and the abortion clinic staffer says no.

Feds Sent Nearly $2 Billion To Planned Parenthood And Other Pro-Abortion Groups, Gov't Report Finds.  Planned Parenthood and other abortion advocacy organizations received nearly $2 billion in federal funding over a three year span, according to a new government report.  The Government Accountability Office disclosed in a Tuesday report that $1.89 billion in federal dollars was allocated to multiple different pro-abortion organizations, including those that perform abortion, over the three year period from 2019 to 2021.  Planned Parenthood received the overwhelming bulk of the sum, a whopping $1.78 billion, during the three-year period, all while it performed 1.11 million abortions.

Planned Parenthood Gets $670 Million of Our Tax Dollars, But Joe Biden Wants to Defund Pregnancy Centers.  States may no longer be able to utilize TANF dollars to fund pregnancy resource center services (PRCs) for mothers if a proposed HHS rule goes into effect.  On Oct. 2, Secretary Xavier Becerra's agency stealthily posted the rule change that will affect four states which use TANF funds for pregnancy resource centers:  Missouri, Pennsylvania, Louisiana and Indiana.  The Biden administration's move goes against recent polling which underscores the popularity of pregnancy resource centers.  A Creative Response Concepts poll found 74% are in favor of publicly funding these centers.  The four states individually utilize between $1 [and] 7 million of TANF dollars to fund pregnancy centers in a year.  According to SBA Pro-Life America State Policy Director Katie Daniel, the amount is a drop in the bucket compared to Planned Parenthood, which received $670.4 million of federal and state taxpayer dollars in 2021-2022.

What's Extreme?  On its website, Planned Parenthood announces: "If you're pregnant and thinking about abortion, you may have lots of questions.  We're here to help."  "Abortion rights" groups pretend they are supporting women and defending women's rights.  The reality is that "helping" with abortion means ending a human life.  Support for abortion is an extreme position, and it has been deemed so for thousands of years.  It is not difficult to find numerous Bible verses defending the right to life and condemning murder in any form.  Jeremiah 1:5 (ESV) tells us:  "Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, and before you were born I consecrated you."  Christians celebrate the Annunciation on March 25, the day when the angel Gabriel informed Mary that she would carry the baby Jesus, God incarnate from the moment of conception.  What if Mary had decided to seek an abortion?  It's a chilling thought, and it illustrates just how extreme the casual acceptance of abortion has become.

Bob Menendez scandal is no different from what politicians do all the time.  New Jersey's Senator Bob Menendez is being charged, completely appropriate given the details, for allegedly lining his pockets in exchange for what appears to be political support for Egypt.  But Menendez's apparent behavior is no different from that of countless other Democrat lawmakers; below are a few examples of Democrats as a whole accepting campaign contributions in return for favorable policies and regulations.  People associated with Planned Parenthood donate to Democrats.  In return, Democrats kickback hundreds of millions of dollars per year to the organization, while promoting abortion on demand. [...] Not only does PP get all this taxpayer money, but Democrats and the politicized Justice Department conspire to close down Crisis Pregnancy Centers.  Heaven forbid that pregnant women are lovingly supported and listened to, with total transparency about both the reality of abortion, and choosing life.

Survivor: Sex trafficker took all girls to Planned Parenthood.  According to at least three studies, Planned Parenthood is one of the most common clinical settings to which sex traffickers bring their victims.  Traffickers take the women and girls they abuse to Planned Parenthood because, according to the survivors, Planned Parenthood does not ask questions.  Research published in 2014 by the Beazley Institute for Health Law and Policy found that survivors of human trafficking have "had significant contact with clinical treatment facilities, most commonly Planned Parenthood clinics."  Another study from 2017, "Identifying Health Experiences of Domestically Sex-Trafficked Women in the USA: A Qualitative Study in Rikers Island Jail," found that "[e]mergency departments, Planned Parenthoods, and jails were common care sites."  And "Sex Trafficking Victims at Their Junction with the Healthcare Setting — A Mixed-Methods Inquiry," published in 2019, found that the "most commonly visited community healthcare clinic is Planned Parenthood...."

Virginity is a social construct says Planned Parenthood.  I shouldn't be surprised, since Planned Parenthood would be the last organization in the world to know anything about virginity.  But as a middle-aged guy my imagination isn't what it used to be, so I was a bit taken aback by this hot take from the organization:  [Tweet]  Having once been a teenager I can assure you that virginity is much more than a social construct, although admittedly different societies have different takes on what import it has in social life.

How Is Planned Parenthood Still a 501(c)(3)?  "Planned Parenthood, as it turns out, has violated 501(c)(3) Federal Law by opposing candidates in public statements," writes Sean Elijah Le Van, an undergrad student at Columbia University.  ([Surely], he must be miserable there.)  "This should cause them to lose their tax-exempt status, reserved for churches and charities," he argues, pointing out that "The Church at Pierce Creek lost their tax-exempt status in 1993 over opposing President Clinton."  Le Van sent me his research into the situation, which he said I could reproduce in this space.  Since he makes a sound argument, I'm sharing it with you here (lightly edited for PJ Media readers): [...] Nonetheless, says Le Van, "Planned Parenthood has expressed vocal and written opposition to President Trump and his administration, as well as other Republicans, during active campaigns."  He then links to two of what he says are many such instances.

Professor no longer in the classroom after allegedly forcing Christian students to fund Planned Parenthood.  A Christian student, who sued his business professor for forcing her class to fund an entity which fundraised for Planned Parenthood and other progressive political causes, said that his Christian beliefs propelled him to fight back.  "My money is in the hands of Planned Parenthood," Nathan Barbieri, a Michigan State University College of Business sophomore studying finance, said.  He told Fox News Digital in an interview that he was "very upset" about it.  "For me, as a Christian, it's our calling.  We're supposed to expose the bad things that happen and not just sit back and... be abused.  That's our job," he said.  Barbieri is one of two students suing his former business marketing professor, Amy Wisner, who identifies as an "intersectional feminist."  The university told Fox News Digital that Wisner is no longer employed at the institution.  Her Instagram similarly reflected that she is a "former business communication professor."

Woman Who Exposed Planned Parenthood Baby Part Sales Asks Supreme Court to Overturn Judgment Against Her.  Liberty Counsel has filed a petition for writ of certiorari asking the U.S. Supreme Court to review the previous ruling by the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals against Sandra Merritt in Planned Parenthood's multimillion-dollar civil lawsuit for her undercover investigation of the abortion giant.  The implications of this case have far-reaching First Amendment consequences involving free speech and undercover journalism.  In the petition for writ of certiorari, Liberty Counsel asks the High Court to consider "whether the First Amendment's Free Speech Clause protects newsgathering journalists, who operate under an alias to document and expose what they reasonably believe to be unlawful conduct, from being subjected to punitive liability for 'fraud.'  This case concerns whether, and to what extent, the press may raise the First Amendment as a defense against generally applicable tort laws when undercover journalists gather and publish truthful news of significant public importance.

Biden's Kampf.  Planned Parenthood, with over 60% of its federal funding coming from patients who rely upon public health programs like Medicaid and Title X for their preventive and primary care, is yet an other example.  Planned Parenthood gave $45 million to Biden's campaign, a threefold increase over its 2016 presidential campaign contributions.  Biden, while campaigning, promised to overturn the Trump administration's pro-life policies and to have abortion rights incorporated into federal law.  Does Biden believe these people and organizations that got him elected won't demand repayment?

Planned Parenthood Kills 1,025 Babies in Abortions Every Day, This Violence Must End.  I've been researching Planned Parenthood for nearly 15 years.  The billion-dollar abortion business kills 1,025 human lives every single day.  Their original slogan, "Every Child a Wanted Child," has turned into the commercialized slaughter of millions.  They are the leading killer of black lives, yet they're praised by once-great civil rights groups like the NAACP and the National Urban League.  They're funded by major corporations (directly or through employee match programs) such as Paypal, Chase Bank, Shell, Bath & Body Works, Starbucks, Liberty Mutual, Costco, and many more.  They're protected by pro-abortion news media.  And their violent destruction of those made in God's image goes ignored by many in the Church.  Last week, Planned Parenthood released its 2021-2022 Annual Report, declaring that they are "relentless."  I think they meant ruthless.  The report shows they killed 374,155 unrepeatable human beings — down only slightly from the last fiscal year.  They had 2.13 million patients, also a drop from the previous fiscal year.  Taxpayer funding, however, increased by tens of millions rising to the highest level ever:  $670 million.

More than two dozen lawsuits have been filed by former Planned Parenthood staff alleging racism.  Planned Parenthood continues to face allegations of systemic racism as more former staffers file lawsuits and testify to poor treatment while working for the nation's number one abortion corporation.  The Philadelphia Inquirer reported that at least two dozen racial discrimination lawsuits have been filed against various Planned Parenthood affiliates, with staffers telling the outlet that racism is an inherent part of the company's culture.

Planned Parenthood Annual Report: Record Revenue, 374K+ Abortions.  Planned Parenthood performed the second-highest number of abortions it has ever performed and saw record-high revenue in during its 2021-2022 fiscal year, according to the organization's annual report released this week.  The abortion giant performed 374,155 abortions, according to the report, titled "Relentless."  That number is down from 383,460 abortions the previous year, which is the highest number recorded in the history of the organization.  Planned Parenthood is estimated to perform approximately 40 percent of abortions in the United States.

Former Planned Parenthood communications director commits suicide - after 'police launch child porn investigation into him'.  The former director of strategic communications at the Southern New England branch of Planned Parenthood took his own life amid a child porn investigation in Connecticut this week.  Police have not named abortion advocate Tim Yergeau, 36, as the suspect in the probe but confirmed that the man who committed suicide in the apartment building was a suspect.  Yergeau, 36, took his own life, five days after an apparent botched attempt by police to take him into custody.  Investigators broke down the door of his neighbor in New Haven, Connecticut and handcuffed her before realizing they had raided the wrong apartment.

Fifth Circuit drops bombshell on Planned Parenthood — and the national media.  Planned Parenthood took a body blow at the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals last night — and so did the national news media.  Despite the universally adopted narrative that the videos produced by David Daleiden and the Center for Medical Progress had been "debunked," the appellate court unanimously ruled that the videos were not deceptively edited and presented compelling evidence of misconduct.  They vacated the district court's injunction that forced Texas to keep Planned Parenthood on its Medicaid rolls and ordered a new review on the merits.

Dallas Mavericks Donates $25,000 to Planned Parenthood Abortion Biz.  Woke celebrities, businesses, and now professional sports teams are lining up to support the largest abortion business in the United States, Planned Parenthood.  Planned Parenthood of Greater Texas posted on Twitter Tuesday photos of the Dallas Mavericks honoring the abortion giant with a $25,000 check.  [Tweet]  Since the reversal of Roe v.  Wade, Planned Parenthood cannot commit elective abortions in Texas but has kept its Texas clinics open, functioning as abortion "travel agencies" to send pregnant women out of state so abortionists can kill their preborn children.

Federal Court Reinstates Law Allowing Florida to Defund Planned Parenthood.  Florida will be allowed to defund Planned Parenthood on June 1, after a federal judge ended a permanent injunction on Tuesday blocking part of a 2016 law.  U.S. District Judge Robert Hinkle, of the United States District Court Northern District of Florida, reversed the permanent injunction on part of House Bill 1411, which prohibits state and local dollars from going to institutions that provide abortions.  Hinkle stated in his order that the "essential basis of the ruling [in 2016] was the right to an abortion under Roe v. Wade."  But with Roe overturned in the Supreme Court's Dobbs decision last summer, the previous order no longer had legal standing.

Planned Parenthood Customer Charged With Assaulting 88-Year-Old Pro-Life Man.  A customer of the nation's largest abortion business has been charged with assaulting an elderly pro-life man who was outside helping women.  Longtime sidewalk counselor Ross Foti was assaulted outside a California Planned Parenthood last October.  A Planned Parenthood client was furious that Ross had parked in front of the abortion center so she screamed at him and then shoved him into a fire hydrant.  The pro-life legal group Life Legal Foundation has been dogging local prosecutors for months to persuade them to press charges.  As of last month, the District Attorney had not charged Ross's assailant with any crimes.

David Daleiden Wins a Lawsuit Filed Against Him for Exposing Planned Parenthood.  Thomas More Society attorneys have secured a settlement of the lawsuit filed against David Daleiden and the University of Washington ("UW") over Daleiden's public records requests for documents relating to UW's national clearinghouse for the fetal tissues and organs of aborted babies.  The federal district court allowed the settlement yesterday, clearing the way to end a six-year legal battle that included three appeals to the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals.  The lawsuit was originally brought by an anonymous group of abortion and aborted fetal tissue workers in August 2016, in response to Daleiden's February 2016 request for documents about their taxpayer-funded programs at UW.  In the settlement, Daleiden secured an agreement to obtain significant additional public documents relating to the UW's purchase, processing, and sale of the organs and tissue from aborted human fetuses.  Daleiden had sought to have job titles unredacted in the records, and the settlement agreement provided for those job titles.  The Thomas More Society also secured a $30,000 payment for attorney's fees from the UW, pursuant to a cross-claim against the UW for violations of the Washington Public Records Act.

Planned Parenthood's Support For California's Abortion Amendment Is About Cash Flows, Not Health Care.  Why is Planned Parenthood Federation of America (PPFA) spending $50 million of its political action money and Gov. Gavin Newsom spending millions of his own campaign cash to convince California voters to approve Proposition 1, the so-called Reproductive Freedom Amendment that would "enshrine" the right to abortion in the California state constitution?  What makes Proposition 1 a mystery, at least to me, the longest-practicing, most highly-experienced abortion doctor in America, is that the Reproductive Privacy Act (RPA) of 2003 already enshrines the "right to abortion" in California blackletter law.  When I compared the two, I noted that where the existing 2003 RPA specified "the state shall not deny or interfere with woman's or pregnant person's right to choose or obtain an abortion prior to the viability of the fetus," Proposition 1 removes the fetal viability limit.  Meaning, if voters approve Proposition 1, it will be legal for me or any doctor licensed in California to abort up to the moment of birth, even viable and healthy babies.

Elderly Pro-Life Man Brutally Attacked Outside Planned Parenthood Abortion Biz.  Longtime sidewalk counselor and Life Legal client Ross Foti was brutally attacked outside a California Planned Parenthood last week.  A woman entering the clinic viciously shoved Ross to the ground, causing him to fall on a fire hydrant.  Ross, who is 88, suffered a punctured lung and other serious injuries and was hospitalized after the assault.  He was released after four days in the hospital but is still in constant pain and requires ongoing treatment.  Witnesses report that the assailant was furious because she wanted a certain parking spot in front of the abortion mill, but Ross had already parked there.  Even though the woman found another place to park, she screamed at Ross and then charged at him, ramming him with her arms and pushing him into the fire hydrant.

Remember, Joe Biden claims to be a devout Catholic.
Joe Biden Gives Planned Parenthood $17 Million to Kill Babies in Abortions.  Joe Biden's administration awarded almost $17 million in taxpayer-funded grants this year to the billion-dollar abortion chain Planned Parenthood.  According to Live Action News, the nation's largest abortion company received the money through the Title X family planning program under the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.  Another $25.5 million from the program went to other pro-abortion groups, the news outlet discovered.  Title X funds are not supposed to be used for abortions.  The program provides family planning services to low-income individuals, and the law states that Title X grants may not be used "where abortion is a method of family planning."  However, Planned Parenthood, the largest abortion business in the U.S., has been one of the biggest recipients of Title X for years.

Planned Parenthood doctor tells committee that 'men can have pregnancies, especially trans men'.  A House committee hearing on abortion restrictions took an unexpected turn Thursday when a Democratic witness who works for Planned Parenthood testified that men can become pregnant.  Dr. Bhavik Kumar, medical director for primary and trans care at Planned Parenthood Gulf Coast, replied in the affirmative after being asked by Rep. Andrew Clyde, Georgia Republican, if men could become pregnant.  "So men can have pregnancies, especially trans men," Dr. Kumar told the House Oversight and Reform Committee.  The doctor did not elaborate on which cisgender men could become pregnant or how.  Mr. Clyde sought clarification, asking, "So are you saying that a biological female who identifies as a man and therefore becomes pregnant is, quote, a man?  Is that what you're saying?"  Dr. Kumar pushed back, telling him such questions are "really missing the point" at a hearing about abortion, before affirming his response.  "Somebody with a uterus may have the capability of becoming pregnant, whether they're a woman or a man," Dr. Kumar said.

How did this so-called doctor get through medical school without knowing there's no such thing as a man with a uterus?

Pro-Life Group Claims FBI Questioned Volunteer By Planned Parenthood.  A pro-life sidewalk counseling group warned members Tuesday that President Joe Biden's Justice Department is determined to intimidate pro-life organizations, claiming that two FBI agents showed up to question a pro-life activist praying outside Planned Parenthood - St. Paul - Vandalia Health Center.  In an email obtained by The Daily Signal, Pro-Life Action Ministries Executive Director Brian Gibson put members on high alert about "a new effort by the Biden Justice Department to intimidate us all from the important work we do to save lives."  Gibson referenced the FBI's Friday arrest of Mark Houck, a Catholic father and pro-life activist accused of pushing an abortion clinic volunteer in Pennsylvania, though a spokesperson for the family told The Daily Signal that Houck "was defending his son from a man who was verbally abusing his son."

Planned Parenthood Caught Changing Fetal Development Info, Calls Baby's Beating Heart "Cardiac Activity".  For the second time in a month, Planned Parenthood is being called out for changing medical information on its website to match the pro-abortion talking points of the day.  In July, the abortion chain altered a section about ectopic pregnancies amid false claims that pro-life laws ban medical treatment for the condition.  Then, this week, a pro-life medical doctor noticed that Planned Parenthood also changed how it describes an unborn baby's heartbeat.  Dr. Calum Miller, a British medical doctor and ethicist, published two screen shots of its webpage about early fetal development Monday on Twitter.  The earlier version states that an unborn baby has a "very basic beating heart" at 5-6 weeks of pregnancy.  In the new version, however, Planned Parenthood uses more politicized, roundabout language that detracts from the truth.

Is Planned Parenthood going to be setting up shop in high schools?  The last two and a half years, as difficult as they've been, have had the virtue of being clarifying.  Nowhere has this been truer than in public education.  Parents who blithely believed the garbage administrators and teachers spouted on Back to School nights finally got a look into their children's classrooms and were, appropriately, horrified.  They've been pushing back, hard, but the unions and school boards, buoyed with self-righteous hubris, are pushing back even harder.  The latest battle is in California's Norwalk-LaMirada Unified School District, where the school board has announced that it plans to vote a Planned Parenthood clinic onto a high school campus.

Planned Parenthood Texas Ceases Abortions.  Two of the primary providers in Texas ceased performing abortions on Friday after the Attorney General warned they could be prosecuted immediately.  "Some prosecutors may choose to immediately pursue criminal prosecutions based on violations of Texas abortion prohibitions predating Roe that were never repealed by the Texas Legislature," AG Ken Paxton said in a written opinion issued following the court's ruling.  "Although these statutes were unenforceable while Roe was on the books, they are still Texas law," Paxton wrote.  "Under these pre-Roe statutes, abortion providers could be criminally liable for providing abortions starting today."

Missouri Senate Passes Bill to Defund Planned Parenthood Abortion Business.  The Missouri Senate passed a budget bill Wednesday that would defund the Planned Parenthood abortion chain of taxpayer dollars.  The Kansas City Star reports the bill passed 25-7 with bipartisan support after several Democrat lawmakers' attempts to remove the defunding item failed.  The bill now heads to the state House.  Planned Parenthood is the largest abortion group in the U.S.  It reports billion-dollar revenues while aborting more than 350,000 unborn babies a year, and it runs the only abortion facility in Missouri.

Planned Parenthood Drops Lawsuit against World's Largest 'Sanctuary City' for the Unborn.  Earlier in the year, a supermajority of voters in the city of Lubbock, Texas made history after overwhelming voting to ban abortion within city limits, making it the most populous city in the world to become a sanctuary city for the unborn.  By a margin of 62 percent to 38 percent, voters in the city of 265,000 cast their ballot in a May 2nd referendum, approving an ordinance that says, "It shall be unlawful for any person to procure or perform an abortion of any type and at any stage of pregnancy in the City of Lubbock, Texas," and that "It shall be unlawful for any person to knowingly aid or abet an abortion that occurs in the City of Lubbock, Texas."  Lubbock is the 11th biggest city in Texas and the 83rd in the United States.  When the town's city council refused to pass the ordinance, seven citizens went around and gathered enough signatures for a referendum to put it on the ballot, which they eventually won in a city-wide vote.

Bill Gates' Obsession With Abortion, Contraception & Population Control Started With His Father.  Bill Gates has an obsession with funding abortion, contraception and population control projects in developing nations.  However, not many are aware that it was his father who inspired him to carry out the depopulation agenda.  In 2003, Bill Moyers, an American journalist, asked Bill Gates a question.  Moyers wanted to know why he was so interested in reproductive issues?  Gates considered.  "But did you come to reproductive issues as an intellectual, philosophical pursuit?" Moyers insisted.  "Or was there something that happened?  Was there a revelation?"  "When I was growing up, my parents were always involved in various volunteer things," Gates responded.  "My dad was head of Planned Parenthood.  And it was very controversial to be involved with that.  And so it's fascinating."  Excellent.  If you've lived under a rock for the past few decades, Planned Parenthood is the largest abortion providers in the world.  The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation preserves the legacy of Bill Gates' father.

Terry McAuliffe Is Scared That Women Won't Be Able To Abort Their Babies If He Loses Virginia Governor Race.  If there's two things that Democrats love in this world, it's abortion and Planned Parenthood.  All Democrats, including Virginia Gubernatorial candidate Terry McAuliffe, want women to be able to abort their babies where-ever they want and WHENEVER they want.  That is why he is currently panicking.  When asked about a potential loss on November 2nd to Republican candidate Glenn Youngkin, the only thing McAuliffe could think about is women aborting their babies.

Planned Parenthood Lies to Supreme Court, Falsely Claims Abortions "Save Lives".  Friend-of-the-court briefs have now been filed in the Supreme Court abortion case, Dobbs v.  Jackson Women's Health Organization.  The brief filed by Planned Parenthood and other major abortion providers is starkly revealing — just not in the way they intended.  It has little analysis of the Mississippi law and nothing about the unborn child at 15 weeks — the issue at the heart of the case.  Instead, it is a maudlin fog of stories meant to distract and gaslight.  The brief makes plain that the nation's largest abortion provider fails to concern itself with women or children, health care, or even science.  In one Orwellian passage after another, the brief talks about how abortion "saves lives." It features anecdotes of women whose pregnancies were life-threatening even though the Mississippi law at issue in Dobbs includes a "medical emergency exception."

Planned Parenthood Temporarily Blocks Texas Right to Life Heartbeat Law.  Planned Parenthood has secured a rare emergency temporary restraining order (TRO) in a suit against Texas Right to Life, fresh off the heels of the 5-4 Supreme Court decision not to block the new bill prohibiting abortion after six weeks.  Judge Maya Guerra Gamble of the District Court in Travis County, Texas, approved Planned Parenthood of Greater Texas Surgical Health's application for a TRO in the wake of the Supreme Court decision this week.  Judge Gamble insists in the document that the plaintiffs, including doctors and staff, would face imminent lawsuits without the protection of the TRO while waiting to file a preliminary injunction.

Planned Parenthood Kills 247 Black Babies Every Day, But the Media Calls White Pro-Lifers Racist.  I'm black.  And white.  I'm "biracial."  So was Frederick Douglass, the famed abolitionist.  I was conceived in rape.  So was Frederick Douglass.  As an adoptee and adoptive father, I fight for human dignity and for our God-given equality.  So did Frederick Douglass.  To many on the Left, I don't exist.  Black pro-lifers, apparently, don't exist.  In fact, they think I should have been aborted.  Imagine the same if the inimitable Frederick Douglass were so easily discarded.  The sin of racism — in the form of the brutal institution of slavery — would probably have continued to dehumanize and destroy for many more years.  Mainstream media refused to tell the truth about slavery during Douglass' time.  He had to start his own newspaper, called the North Star, to do the job that so-called "journalists" refused to do.

Lyft to Donate $1M to Planned Parenthood, Pay Legal Fees for Drivers Sued under Texas Abortion Law.  Lyft and Uber announced Friday [9/3/2021] they will pay the legal fees for any of their drivers who are sued under Texas' new law that prohibits abortion after a heartbeat can be detected.  The law allows private citizens to enforce the measure.  Though patients may not be sued, any individual can sue the people "knowingly" assisting the procedure, including doctors, those paying for the abortion and clinic workers.  Plaintiffs in litigation cases resulting from the law's implementation can earn up to $10,000 in damages.  "Drivers are never responsible for monitoring where their riders go or why.  Imagine being a driver and not knowing if you are breaking the law by giving someone a ride," Lyft said in a statement announcing the policy.

Former Planned Parenthood president was told to say 'abortion' in every interview.  In 2018, Dr. Leana Wen left her position as Baltimore's health commissioner to become the president of Planned Parenthood — the first physician to lead the organization.  Immediately after beginning her work at the helm of the abortion giant, Wen spoke on ABC's "The View" to discuss her vision for the organization.  According to the Insider, instead of providing a constant focus on abortion, she focused on healthcare, advising women to receive important screenings, and highlighting that medications shouldn't necessarily be political.  After her television appearance, Wen revealed, Planned Parenthood staffers were not pleased that she had failed to mention the word "abortion."  She explained that after the interview, a board member texted her, saying, "Next time, make sure you talk about abortion."

Judge Dismisses Planned Parenthood Lawsuit Against Lubbock, Texas Abortion Ban.  In another victory for life, a federal judge threw out a lawsuit from Planned Parenthood late Tuesday that challenges an ordinance outlawing abortions in Lubbock, Texas.  The Lubbock Avalanche-Journal reports U.S. District Judge James Wesley Hendrix dismissed the lawsuit, ruling that Planned Parenthood lacks jurisdiction to challenge the Sanctuary for the Unborn ordinance.  The ruling means Lubbock will remain abortion-free.  Planned Parenthood, the only abortion facility in the city, stopped aborting unborn babies on Tuesday when the ordinance went into effect.  Lubbock is the largest city in the U.S. — and the first with an abortion facility — to pass an ordinance to protect unborn babies from abortion.

Rand Paul Wants Planned Parenthood Investigated for Stealing Millions in COVID Relief Funds.  This week, Senator Rand Paul (R-KY), Ranking Member of the Senate Small Business Committee, along with the Committee's Republican members led a follow-up letter to their April 15 letter to the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) regarding the unlawful participation of the Planned Parenthood Federation of America (PPFA) in the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP).  On April 15, 2021, Dr. Paul and SBC Republican members sent a letter detailing how two PPFA affiliates were approved for second draw loans despite their ineligibility for PPP loans.  The letter requested that the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) investigate and provide additional information regarding PPFA affiliates participation in the PPP by April 23, 2021.  "We have not received the requested information or a formal response from you." the Senators wrote.  "In fact, since our April 15 letter to you, SBA approved PPP loans for at least two additional PPFA affiliates according to the most recent public data posted to the Agency's website.  This includes a $10 million dollar loan, the maximum loan amount, to a PPFA affiliate just last week.  This is unacceptable.  As members of the U.S. Senate Committee on Small Business and Entrepreneurship, we expect transparency and cooperation with requests for information from your agency."

Planned Parenthood May Have Stolen Millions in Taxpayer Dollars and Rand Paul Wants It Back.  Abortion giant Planned Parenthood may have illegally obtained more than $80 million in taxpayer dollars during the pandemic and Kentucky Senator Rand Paul, along with a few other Senators, are now demanding Merrick Garland and the DOJ conduct an investigation.  According to Fox News, Paul, as well as Sens. Marco Rubio, James Risch, Tim Scott, Joni Ernst, James Inhofe, Todd Young, John Kennedy, Josh Hawley, and Roger Marshall wrote a joint letter to Garland calling for the DOJ's "immediate attention" to Planned Parenthood applying for loans from the Paycheck Protection Program under full knowledge of its ineligibility for the program.

Planned Parenthood Raked In $83 Million Of 'COVID Relief' PPP Money.  Why did Pelosi fight so hard to block smaller Trump-era bailouts that carefully targeted small businesses?  Maybe because it didn't include money for Planned Parenthood.  The Democrats wanted a massively bloated 'bailout' plan that could serve as a slush fund to reward all of their favorite special interest groups and prop up financially failing Democrat states and cities with the public purse.  And fewer groups are more beloved to the Democrats than Planned Parenthood, who — mysteriously — managed to rake in some $83 Million in taxpayer dollars despite being specifically ineligible for receiving any of this bailout money.  That's $83M that could have gone a long way to rescuing, heaven alone knows how many, family businesses from financial ruin, not because they were running a bad business plan, but because the government forbade them from operating during the pandemic.

Senate Dems thwart GOP bid to block Planned Parenthood 'slush fund' in stimulus.  Among the beneficiaries of the $1.9 trillion stimulus bill passed Saturday was Planned Parenthood, despite the best efforts of Senate Republicans and pro-life groups.  Senate Democrats beat back efforts to apply the Hyde Amendment to the legislation, meaning that the federal funding, notably $50 million allotted for grants and contracts under the Public Health Service Act, may be used to cover abortions in a break with last year's novel coronavirus spending.  The pro-life Susan B. Anthony List said that the American Rescue Plan Act "allows taxpayer funding for abortion contrary to the decades-old Hyde Amendment that has applied to every other COVID-19 relief package," creating a "slush fund for Planned Parenthood and the abortion industry."

Planned Parenthood Abortion Biz Makes Millions Killing Babies, It Doesn't Need Our Tax Dollars.  Last week the U.S. House narrowly approved a pandemic relief bill.  It should surprise nobody that it's written in such a way that Planned Parenthood can easily steal your money.  If you think "steal" is a strong word, remember that even though previous COVID-19 relief legally exempted them from receiving money, some of their affiliates still knowingly applied and received your tax dollars.  With President Biden running the Executive Branch, nobody will hold them accountable for these past misdeeds.  Instead, they are lavishly rewarded.  When's the last time you got rewarded by the government for breaking the law — especially during this pandemic?  It should be very apparent to anyone that Planned Parenthood gets to operate by a separate set of rules, and has enriched themselves immensely while enjoying them.

Christian Universities Must Get Out of Bed with Planned Parenthood.  If Joe Biden professing devout Catholicism while aggressively pushing anti-Catholic, pro-abortion policy at home and abroad bothers you, buckle up.  The hypocrisy is not confined to the Oval Office.  Research is uncovering Planned Parenthood relationships and promotion at scores of American colleges and universities that claim an active affiliation with Christian churches.  And while the COVID-19 vaccine has many hoping for the restoration of normalcy and widespread on-campus learning, Christian schools should focus their attention combatting the virus of Big Abortion that is infecting their institutions.  These schools are jeopardizing their very mission and identity as Christian establishments, and our team at Students for Life is committed to ensuring these dangerous relationships don't fester in silence.  In our ongoing research, Students for Life has found and documented Planned Parenthood snaking its way onto Christian campuses under the guise of being a health and wellness "resource" for students, a hub for career and internship opportunities, a partner on campus events and education initiatives, and a rotation stop for Christian medical students.

Planned Parenthood Performed 354,871 Abortions in Fiscal Year 2019-2020.  In its latest annual report, Planned Parenthood discloses that it performed 354,871 abortions between Oct. 1, 2019 and Sept. 30, 2020.  Also, Planned Parenthood received $618.1 million in government health services reimbursements and grants for the year that ended June 30, 2020.  The 354,871 abortions in 2019-20 marked an increase from 2018-19, when Planned Parenthood performed 345,672 abortions — an increase of 9,199 abortions.

Planned Parenthood CEO: 'Completely Over the Moon' with Kamala Harris as VP.  Planned Parenthood CEO Alexis McGill Johnson exclaimed in an interview with Business Insider she is "completely over the moon" that abortion rights champion Kamala Harris is now vice president.  "She has really demonstrated her facility of understanding our issues but also the intersection of sexual and reproductive healthcare with issues of race, with issues of the economy, with issues of democracy and our American values," Johnson said in the interview published Monday [2/1/2021].

Texas to Fully End Taxpayer Funding of Planned Parenthood.  Planned Parenthood facilities in Texas will no longer receive taxpayer funds through the Medicaid program beginning February 3.  The state denied the abortion provider's request to continue to receive Medicaid reimbursement funding for its clinics, as Catholic News Agency observed.  Jennifer Allmon, executive director of the Texas Catholic Conference of Bishops, praised the persistence of the Texas legislature, and said while the abortion industry has spread the narrative that low-income women need Planned Parenthood for health services, many other options actually exist.

Joe Biden Picks Pro-Abortion Samantha Power to Head USAID, Will Make Americans Fund Planned Parenthood.  Abortion activists praised Samantha Power, President-elect Joe Biden's choice to lead the U.S. Agency for International Development, as a "steadfast voice for human rights" on Wednesday [1/13/2021].  Biden's transition team announced Power as his choice for USAID administrator this week.  She is one of a growing list of pro-abortion leaders slated to fill the new presidential administration.  In the position, Power will assist Biden in restoring taxpayer funding to Planned Parenthood and other global abortion advocacy groups — funds that President Donald Trump cut through his Protecting Life policy.  Power previously worked in President Barack Obama's administration as a representative to the United Nations.  Before that, she served on the National Security Council where she advised Obama and Biden on "women's rights," which, to Democrat leaders, includes abortion on demand.

California Judge Orders Video Journalists to Pay $13.6 M to Planned Parenthood.  A federal judge in California ordered the video journalists who exposed Planned Parenthood's practices in the harvesting and sales of aborted baby body parts to pay the abortion giant $13.6 million to cover its legal costs in its case against them.  On Tuesday [12/22/2020], U.S. District Judge William Orrick III ordered David Daleiden and his associates at Center for Medical Progress (CMP) to pay $13.6 million over the $2 million in damages they were ordered to pay last year for recording the abortion vendor's officials while they discussed how they harvest the fetal tissue for sale.  Daleiden and his advocates have now appealed the verdict to the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals.

Court Rules Texas and Louisiana Can Drop Planned Parenthood From Medicaid.  A circuit court ruled Monday that Texas and Louisiana can exclude Planned Parenthood from Medicaid funding, a win for the movement to deprive the abortion provider of federal funding.  The Fifth U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals overruled a district court's preliminary injunction preventing the exclusion of Planned Parenthood from Medicaid funding.  The court of appeals ruled in an 11-5 majority that Planned Parenthood did not have the right to challenge the state's decisions regarding who receives Medicaid benefits.  Medicaid beneficiaries "have no right under the statute to challenge a State's determination that a provider is unqualified," the court's chief judge wrote in the majority's opinion.

Yes, [the] Media Are Rigging [the] Election Against Half The Country.  Here's How.  David Daleiden, an undercover journalist who showed that Planned Parenthood was engaged in trafficking of unborn baby body parts, had his entire life upended by Kamala Harris prosecuting him for his journalism.  Journalists didn't think it worthy of coverage, even though many think she could be president within a matter of months.

Journalist Who Exposed Planned Parenthood:  Kamala Harris Weaponized Her Office to Punish Me on Behalf of Her Donors.  Sen. Kamala Harris (D-CA) has a history of abusing the powers of her office to target and punish Americans she disagrees with.  I know firsthand that Harris is one of the biggest threats to First Amendment civil liberties that our country has ever seen because I have been on the receiving end of her unconstitutional abuses of power when she was California's attorney general.  In 2015, after I released undercover videos of taxpayer-funded Planned Parenthood officials trafficking the body parts of live-aborted fetuses, Planned Parenthood was desperate and furious.  The organization turned to Harris, its political patron in the California Attorney General's office, for help to silence me and my message.  Though local law enforcement made it clear to Planned Parenthood that the California videos were recorded in public places and were perfectly legal, the abortion provider and its allies within the state Department of Justice conspired to enforce California's video recording law for the first time ever against newsgathering, in order to punish me for speaking out.

Dozens Of Black Employees Said They Faced Racism At Planned Parenthood, An Internal Audit Found.  Black employees at Planned Parenthood's national wing feel that they have been held to a different standard than the organization's white employees and that they are often expected to work more and given less leeway, an internal assessment obtained by BuzzFeed News found.  The assessment, which was commissioned by Planned Parenthood, was presented over a video meeting to Planned Parenthood Federation of America's (PPFA) employee resource group Network of Black Associates on Wednesday [10/78/2020].  It was based on interviews conducted over the summer with 64 current and 12 former Black Planned Parenthood employees in all divisions and levels of PPFA.  A contracted group called Anti-Oppression Resource and Training Alliance (AORTA) conducted and presented the assessment, which overall found that the organization's Black employees feel that Planned Parenthood's treatment of them internally does not line up with its social justice-driven mission.

Undercover journalist turns the tables, sues Planned Parenthood for defamation.  The Planned Parenthood Federation of America is being sued by the undercover journalist who produced a series of videos exposing the sale of baby body parts by abortionists.  The Thomas More Society is representing David Daleiden in a defamation suit filed this week in federal district court in New York.  Daleiden, Thomas More said, "is taking the abortion giant to task for telling the media that he and The Center for Medical Progress 'manufacture[d]' and 'created' a 'false smear campaign' by releasing videos showing clear evidence of high-level Planned Parenthood officials candidly discussing the PPFA network's participation in illegal harvesting and selling of aborted fetal body parts."

Politics will never get less evil unless good men get involved.  Burke said evil triumphs when good men stay silent.  Aristotle similarly said that when good people don't get involved in politics, they get government by bad people.  That's what has happened here in America, why evil has spread like leprosy across the face of the land.  And make no mistake:  it is evil that's spreading.  To grasp this we need look no farther than the corner Planned Parenthood charnel house.  When a society legitimizes babies getting turned into body parts for sale to the highest bidder — that's evil.

'Baby Lives Matter' mural painted at Planned Parenthood location in Charlotte.  Someone painted a "Baby Lives Matter" mural at a Planned Parenthood location in Charlotte.  WBTV's Sky 3 observed the mural from above.  WBTV reached out to the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department to see if there was any response to this mural.  They responded and said on Wednesday, CMPD officers went to South Torrence Street in reference to a call for service regarding vandalism in the street.

Planned Parenthood Staff Admit To Performing Illegal Partial-Birth Abortions For Better Tissue Harvesting.  In a new video released by the Center for Medical Progress (CMP) Monday, Planned Parenthood officials give sworn testimony describing how abortionists alter abortion procedures in order to produce more intact human fetuses and, therefore, more usable fetal tissues and organs that can be sold for profit.  In 2015, the CMP and journalist and activist David Daleiden released a series of videos featuring undercover conversations with Planned Parenthood officials and medical directors.  Planned Parenthood and their media allies decried the undercover videos as "edited" and claimed their late-term abortion practices were in complete compliance with the law.  As attorney general of California, current vice presidential candidate Kamala Harris, who received tens of thousands of dollars in campaign donations from Planned Parenthood, prosecuted Daleiden for exposing Planned Parenthood's crimes.

Kamala Harris — Planned Parenthood's Choice.  David Daleiden heads the Center for Medical Progress, the group that unveiled what really goes on behind the curtain at Planned Parenthood, exposing the ghoulishness of the organization that profits off the destruction of human life and detailing past and future atrocities perpetrated by that organization in a series of revealing and damning videos.  Daleiden's pro-life investigative reporting did not sit well with then California Attorney General Kamala Harris, who made it her mission to cancel Daleiden and his group, raiding his house, seizing his videos, video equipment, and notes, all with the purpose of ending his livelihood, his career, and his freedom.  She prosecuted Daleiden under an obscure, rarely used, and arguably unconstitutional state law.

Senators press Trump administration on pair of Planned Parenthood controversies.  More than two dozen U.S. senators asked the Justice Department Friday [8/7/2020] to expand its investigation into Planned Parenthood Federation of America's (PPFA) fetal tissue practices, the latest effort to push the DOJ about an investigation it has mostly kept under wraps since 2017.  A separate letter sent to the Treasury Department, requested an investigation into Planned Parenthood's use of funds from the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP), established by the CARES Act earlier this year.  "We urge you to investigate not only the extent to which Planned Parenthood was involved in the sale of fetal tissue, but also the disturbing descriptions by Planned Parenthood workers of infants born alive who were left to die or killed through organ harvesting," read the DOJ letter, signed by Sen. Kelly Loeffler, R-Ga., and 27 of her colleagues.

Planned Parenthood: 'We're Keeping PPP Funds' Ordered to be Returned by SBA.  Two Texas Planned Parenthood facilities declared that they will be keeping the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) funds they were ordered to return by the Small Business Administration (SBA).  "We have no plans to return these essential funds," said Jeffrey Hons, CEO of the San Antonio Planned Parenthood clinic.  The Houston location also said they will be keeping the funds, according to reports.  That mean they are each keeping between $1-$2 million that was issued by the PPP coronavirus relief program to each clinic.

More charges dropped for pro-life journalists who exposed Planned Parenthood.  Additional charges against two pro-life investigative journalists have been dropped in the case of The People of the State of California vs.  David Daleiden and Sandra Merritt of the Center for Medical Progress (CMP).  In a hearing held over Zoom on Tuesday, two of the 10 charges against Merritt and one of the 10 against Daleiden were dropped, according to My Valley News.  Daleiden and Merritt are the undercover journalists from CMP responsible for exposing the fetal body part trafficking scandal taking place at Planned Parenthood affiliates around the nation.  On Tuesday, California's criminal case against them went before Judge Suzanne Ramos Bolanos in a hearing to request the dismissal of all or some of the criminal charges.

Planned Parenthood 'steeped in white supremacy,' employees, supporters charge.  Pro-lifers have long accused Planned Parenthood of racism, but the nation's largest abortion provider may face a reckoning led by hundreds of employees and supporters who have charged the organization with being "steeped in white supremacy."  A letter signed by more than 350 "current and former staffers" of Planned Parenthood of Greater New York, as well as about 800 donors, supporters and volunteers, declared that founder Margaret Sanger was "a racist, white woman" and that the organization suffers from "institutional racism."  "We know that Planned Parenthood has a history and a present steeped in white supremacy and we, the staff, are motivated to do the difficult work needed to improve," said the June 18 open letter from Save PPGNY.

Under Sworn Testimony, Planned Parenthood Officials Admit Infanticide Occurs In Organ Harvesting.  In a new video released by the Center for Medical Progress (CMP), Planned Parenthood and abortion industry officials give sworn testimony describing how babies born alive with beating hearts in their facilities are then harvested for organs.  Since CMP's first undercover videos, filmed by journalist and activist David Daleiden, were released in 2015, Planned Parenthood has denied that its facilities sold fetal body parts from abortions, and that their fetal tissue research programs and late-term abortion practices are in total compliance with the law.  Now, videos of witnesses under oath show that not only did the abortion giant profit from the sale of fetal organs, but that Planned Parenthood and its business partner, Advanced Bioscience Resources (ABR), violated federal law that mandates a fetus born with a beating heart is a human being equally entitled to protections under the law.

Planned Parenthood Executive Ousted For Being a 'Tyrant' Who Only Cares About Profits.  The chief executive of Planned Parenthood of Greater New York, Laura McQuade, was fired Monday after employees alleged in open letters that she is a "toxic leader," discriminates against black staff members, and focuses on generating maximum profits at the expense of patient safety.  Safety is obviously not at the forefront of Planned Parenthood executives' minds, as they make their business by killing unborn children.  But according to the Planned Parenthood employees' laundry list of questionable policies, like rushing patient appointments and performing surgical abortions at night, their executives have also set aside concerns for the safety of women in their quest for maximum efficiency in abortion procedures and the big bucks that follow.

Planned Parenthood Formally Endorses Joe Biden Despite Hyde Amendment Flip Flop, Tara Reade Allegations.  The Planned Parenthood Action Fund formally endorsed Joe Biden (D) on Monday despite the abortion giant's past concerns regarding the former vice president — from his former support of the Hyde Amendment to Tara Reade's allegations of sexual assault.  Planned Parenthood's Acting President Alexis McGill Johnson, who leads the tax-payer funded organization responsible for performing 345,672 abortion from 2018-2019 alone, described the upcoming race as "literally a life and death election."

Unsealed Court Docs Show Planned Parenthood Execs Knew of Fetal Tissue Sales.  Newly unsealed court documents show that top executives at Planned Parenthood were familiar with its organ-harvesting operations and privately discussed lucrative deals even as the abortion giant publicly denied profiting from the sale of body parts obtained from aborted babies.  A video from the Center for Medical Progress, founded by undercover pro-life journalist David Daleiden, compiles testimonies from Planned Parenthood representatives who admit to planning to sell fetal organs, alongside documents showing the organization profited from selling the tissue.

Senate Dems call on Trump admin to let Planned Parenthood keep PPP money it fraudulently collected.  Planned Parenthood, the nation's largest abortion provider, received $80 million in Paycheck Protection Program loans designed to assist small businesses survive in the face of the coronavirus pandemic.  While there was widespread media outcry over corporations getting this funding, compete will calls for them to return the money, there has been relative quiet over 38 Planned Parenthood affiliates across the country receiving millions of dollars of aid included in the $2.3 trillion coronavirus stimulus measure.  And now Democrats are making a public appeal to let the abortion providers keep the money, insisted they are non-profit "health centers" — how's that for audacity?

Trump Admin May Slap Criminal Charges on Planned Parenthood for Fraudulently Obtaining Coronavirus Funds.  After news broke that the Planned Parenthood abortion business fraudulently received $80 million in funds meant to help small businesses deal with the economic fallout from the coronavirus, the Trump administration has wasted no time in acting.  As LifeNews.com reported, Planned Parenthood received $80 million in loans from the Paycheck Protection Program meant for small businesses.  That is despite the fact that the rules and regulations associated with the program specifically prohibited affiliates of larger organizations with more than 500 employees from applying.  That covers Planned Parenthood as Planned Parenthood Federation of America (PFFA) alone has had more than 600 employees.

Ben Sasse:  Fire Officials Who Approved Pandemic Aid For 'Big Abortion' Provider Planned Parenthood.  Sen. Ben Sasse (R-NE) called for President Trump to fire the bureaucrats who illegally approved millions of dollars worth of small-business loans for Planned Parenthood clinics.  Sasse issued a strong statement on Wednesday slamming the well-known abortion provider for taking advantage of the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) loans that it is ineligible to receive.  "Planned Parenthood, the nation's largest abortion business, tried to defraud taxpayers during the worst economic downturn since the Great Depression," Sasse said.  "The Paycheck Protection Program is supposed to be a lifeline for small businesses, not a slush fund for Big Abortion.  The administration needs to reclaim that money and fire the bureaucrats who signed off on this scam."

Planned Parenthood affiliates improperly applied for, received $80 million in coronavirus stimulus funds, feds say.  Thirty-seven Planned Parenthood affiliates applied for and received a total of $80 million in loans from the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP), Fox News' "Tucker Carlson Tonight" has learned — and now the federal government wants the money back, saying the affiliates should have known they weren't eligible for the coronavirus stimulus payouts.  The Small Business Administration (SBA) is reaching out to each involved Planned Parenthood affiliate explaining that affiliates of larger organizations with more than 500 employees aren't eligible for PPP distributions, Fox News is told.  The Planned Parenthood Federation of America (PFFA) alone has had more than 600 employees.

David Daleiden Sues Planned Parenthood, Kamala Harris For Using Video Recording Laws As Political Weapon.  Almost five years ago, then-California Attorney General Kamala Harris launched an investigation into the work of citizen journalist and anti-abortion activist David Daleiden, who discovered Planned Parenthood's trafficking of aborted baby body parts.  Now, after years of legal battles, Daleiden and his organization, the Center for Medical Progress, are suing Harris, Planned Parenthood, and California Attorney General Xavier Becerra for their attempts to use the guise of state recording laws to criminally punish Daleiden because they disagreed politically with the content of his videos.  When the Center for Medical Progress began releasing its undercover videos of Planned Parenthood executives discussing fetal tissue trafficking in 2015, Harris launched an investigation on Daleiden, ordered a raid on his home, and seized his camera equipment and hard drives.

Trump Administration Is Cutting Planned Parenthood Off From Stimulus PPP Funds.  President Donald Trump's administration is cutting off abortion group Planned Parenthood from accessing Paycheck Protection Program stimulus funds, new reporting from the Daily Signal has revealed.  "President Trump is committed to ensuring Paycheck Protection Program money is used for saving jobs at small businesses, not getting the government into the business of funding abortion," said an unnamed government official of the prospect of Planned Parenthood accessing stimulus funds.

Remember the government shutdowns?  Funny how we don't see those same sob stories about lost paychecks now.  I know how we can get most journalists, entertainers and other Democrats to begin supporting the reopening of America instead of encouraging the continued destruction of people's lives, especially the poor, minorities and middle class, whom they just pretend to care about:  Just deem Planned Parenthood as non-essential and shut them down until all non-essential businesses can open.  They would have a collective cow, but it would also have the beneficial effect of saving lots of young lives, especially lives of people of color, and Democrats always say saving one life is worth it.  The number of lives snuffed out by Planned Parenthood facilities dwarfs those who have or will die from COVID-19.  Think of this, because exercise facilities of all sorts, which save a huge number of lives by helping prevent obesity, (a major contributing factor to COVID-19 deaths), remain closed because they are deemed non-essential.  Yet, Planned Parenthood facilities, which makes the bulk of their money killing human beings, is deemed essential.

New Unsealed Documents Show Planned Parenthood Profited From Aborted Baby Body Parts.  When senior Planned Parenthood officials were caught on tape in 2015 by the Center for Medical Progress (CMP) discussing the illegal trafficking of aborted baby body parts, Planned Parenthood denied the allegations, claiming they were only reimbursed for the "cost to transport tissue."  Now, newly unsealed invoices confirm Planned Parenthood Mar Monte charged the tissue procurement company StemExpress $55 per "usable" organ — not for transport fees.  Over the course of three months, Planned Parenthood billed StemExpress $24,940. Three Planned Parenthood Mar Monte invoices from 2012, originally produced as part of a federal lawsuit against CMP founder David Daleiden, show the abortion giant charged StemExpress $55 per "POC," which stands for product of conception, and $10 per maternal blood sample.  In a contract between the two companies, StemExpress agreed to pay Planned Parenthood only for fetal organs "determined in the clinic to be usable."

Planned Parenthood of Greater New York to close a dozen clinics, lay off quarter of staff.  A dozen Planned Parenthood clinics located in New York are having to shut their doors due to financial shortcomings caused by the coronavirus pandemic, according to a memo published on Wednesday [4/8/2020].  The country's largest abortion provider also announced it would be laying off more than one-quarter of its staff in facilities located in central New York, including Rome and Oneida.  Planned Parenthood of Greater New York President Laura McQuade told staff Monday that the pandemic has resulted in losses ranging from $20 million to $32 million.

Pennsylvania Planned Parenthood open for abortion services only.  The Pennsylvania Department of health ordered all businesses not "life sustaining" closed on March 20.  Abortion clinics are excluded from the order, although elective procedures are not. [...] The Pennsylvania Family Institute has asked Gov. Tom Wolf to ban elective abortions to help preserve medical equipment for medical personnel fighting the coronavirus.

One organization doesn't want to share lifesaving medical equipment:  Planned Parenthood.  The image of courageous and self-sacrificing healthcare workers draped in garbage bags at Mount Sinai West hospital in midtown Manhattan because of a shortage of personal protective equipment is a horrifying picture for the coronavirus crisis.  Despite Gov. Andrew Cuomo's assurances that all is well, nurses report that a dire shortage puts their lives at risk, and a national call to action has been sent out, asking for donations of lifesaving gear.  One organization not answering the call is Planned Parenthood, which seems to insist that keeping its personal protective equipment to end lives without interruption is more important than contributing to those trying to save lives at the risk of their own.

Amid Outbreak Precautions, Pro-Lifers Say Planned Parenthood Staffer Deliberately Coughed at Them.  An "angry" Planned Parenthood staffer purposefully coughed at nearby pro-life vigil participants outside the company's premises in Pittsburgh, Pa. vigil organizers say.  Shawn Carney, president of 40 Days for Life campaign, called the staffer's reported action "disgusting in any circumstance," but said that in the midst of the coronavirus outbreak it was "intolerable" and a display of "pure hate."  The organization says the incident took place on the sidewalk in front of the Planned Parenthood premises in downtown Pittsburgh on Saturday morning [3/14/2020].

Daleiden Pleads Not Guilty to Criminal Charges for Undercover Planned Parenthood Videos.  David Daleiden of the Center for Medical Progress (CMP), along with his co-worker Sandra Merritt, pleaded not guilty on Friday to criminal counts surrounding an undercover investigation they conducted into Planned Parenthood and its business partners over the extraction, transferal and sale of the body parts of aborted babies.  Daleiden and Merritt potentially face up to 10 years behind bars if convicted, but their defense states that the two did "an incredible public service" and should not be punished.  "David is being charged as a criminal for using the same investigative reporting techniques regularly exercised by other journalists," Daleiden defense attorney Peter Breen, senior counsel at the Illinois-based Thomas More Society, said in a statement.

Highlights of the News.  ITEM 3: CBN News reported, "A US appeals court has upheld Trump administration rules that prevent taxpayer money from being used for abortions.  "The rules forbid clinics that receive federal funds through the Title X program from making abortion referrals and from sharing space with abortion providers.  In other words, the Title X money is only supposed to used for health care needs, not to promote abortion.  "In a 7-4 ruling, the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals dismissed arguments that the rule forces doctors to violate medical morals by withholding information from patients, Court News reports."  This is huge.  This means Planned Parenthood will no longer suckle at the federal teat, throwing kickbacks — er, campaign donations — to Democrats to keep the money flowing.  President Trump has broken this circle of death by appointing 10 judges to the Ninth Circuit.  That is better than a third of the 29 judges on the circuit.  The president then changed the rules to prevent taxpayers from funding abortion.  No pro-lifer has any excuse not to re-elect this man because he kneecapped Planned Parenthood and made it stick.

Really Bad Things the Media Is Ignoring Because of Impeachment.  The funding of Planned Parenthood has long been a political hot potato.  Republicans oppose it because they're pro-life, Democrats support it because they support abortion and because they get a piece of the action.  By sending hundreds of millions of our tax dollars to the abortion mill, Democrats get tens of millions of it back in campaign contributions.  It was recently announced that the group, which pleads poverty every time the idea of cutting their federal funding is discussed, will spend $45 million in 2020 to elect Democrats.  Planned Parenthood received more than $500 million in our money this year, which means Democrats are getting a nearly 10 percent return on that money to directly benefit them.  In the private sector, that would be called a kickback.

Planned Parenthood, Cash Cow For The Dems, Gets Some BAD Financial News.  We've often wondered, is that Dem fixation on abortion a 'commitment to the cause' or addiction to Planned Parenthood's money?  With Planned Parenthood's deep pockets taking a HUGE hit, we might find out just HOW committed some of these Democrats really are to their 'cause'.  Looks like their financials took a pretty good hit last year. [...] Planned Parenthood isn't so much a 'women's health' organization so much as a de facto extension of the Democrat party.

Planned Parenthood Did a Record 345,672 Abortions in FY18; Then Received a Record $616.8 Million in Government Money.  Planned Parenthood's latest annual report, for 2018-2019, shows that the abortion giant performed a record 345,672 abortions in fiscal 2018 and received a record $616.8 million in government reimbursements and grants in the year that ended on June 30, 2019.  For the time period of Oct. 1, 2017 through Sept. 30, 2018, Planned Parenthood offices performed 345,672 abortions, according to the annual report.  Also, Planned Parenthood offices received $616.8 million in government health services reimbursements and grants for the year ending June 30, 2019.

Planned Parenthood Kills 81 Babies in Abortion for Every Woman It Helps With Adoption.  It's been a turbulent last two years at Planned Parenthood, with a leadership shakeup involving the ouster of Dr. Leana Wen as president, and the installment of Alexis McGill Johnson as acting president.  But that upheaval didn't stop Planned Parenthood from having a banner year in providing abortion on demand, as its new report shows.  The report, which was released quietly this week, states that Planned Parenthood affiliates performed 345,672 abortions from Oct. 1, 2017, to Sept. 30, 2018 — the highest number of abortions ever reported in a single year.

Planned Parenthood reports rise in government funding, record number of abortions.  A new report from Planned Parenthood shows an increase in government funding during its most recent fiscal cycle and a record number of abortions at its clinics, even as the national abortion rate declines.  The reproductive health nonprofit posted its annual report over the weekend, culminating a year punctuated by legal fights, leadership departures and legislative action, with conservative states aiming to restrict abortion and liberal states seeking to preserve it.

Murphy approves N.J. giving millions to Planned Parenthood after Trump's abortion rule.  New Jersey will provide $9.5 million more in state taxpayer money to family-planning clinics such as Planned Parenthood to make up for federal funding they forfeited by opposing a controversial abortion rule from President Donald Trump's administration.  Gov. Phil Murphy on Thursday [1/2/2020] signed a bill into law that immediately allocates the funding for the current fiscal year — which he said will help clinics across the state provide health services for tens of thousands of New Jerseyans.

Why The Planned Parenthood Whistleblower Case Will Likely Hit the Supreme Court.  On Friday [11/15/2019], a jury awarded Planned Parenthood Federation of America, and multiple Planned Parenthood affiliates, damages set to exceed $2.3 million in their civil case against undercover journalists David Daleiden and Sandra Merritt and several of their associates.  The country's largest cohort of abortion providers sued Daleiden and his colleagues after the 2015 release of a series of investigative videos that exposed Planned Parenthood's trafficking in fetal parts.  The jury found the defendants liable on an array of state law theories, including trespass, breach of contract and of non-disclosure agreements, and fraud, as well as state and federal laws prohibiting the unconsented recordings of third parties.  The California-based jury also found that Daleiden and the other defendants had violated the federal Racketeering Influenced Corrupt Organizations (RICO) law — a federal statute that triples any damage award.  The defendants were also hit with punitive damages exceeding $800,000.

Jury Forces David Daleiden to Pay Planned Parenthood $870,000 for Exposing Its Aborted Baby Part Sales.  A California jury has decided that pro-life advocate David Daleiden, and his pro-life colleagues, has caused substantial harm to the Planned Parenthood abortion business as a result of his organization's undercover reporting and exposing of its potentially illegal sales of aborted baby parts nationwide.  Attorneys for Daleiden, Sandra Merritt and board members of Center for Medical Progress, the group that oversaw the undercover investigation, are expected to appeal the verdict.

Judge Orders Jury to Find Against David Daleiden in Planned Parenthood Exposee Case.  Planned Parenthood could not sue for defamation, for the simple reason that what Dale Daleiden and the Center for Medical Progress was all true.  Instead, they sued on the theory that he had "trespassed" on their property — he was permitted to be there, but the permission was granted to his undercover alias, and they're claiming that nullifies the permission — in order to do "harm" to their reputation.  Obviously, if this ruling were to be taken as a real ruling, it would mean that undercover investigations are now illegal in the US.  But this judge does not mean the ruling to mean that.  He means it to be a Conservatives-Only ruling.  Liberal undercover journalists will of course continue to be immune (on First Amendment grounds) from lawsuit based on the theory that they were "trespassing" on property by securing permission to be there by using a false name and fictitious purpose for the visit.

How Fusion GPS Saved Planned Parenthood's Bacon.  [Scroll down]  No one knew better than [Hillary] Clinton, however, what overwhelming force Planned Parenthood and its allies in the Democratic-media complex could bring to bear against a pair of citizen journalists.  For immediate assistance Planned Parenthood turned to the well-connected fixers at — where else? — Fusion GPS.  The beleaguered organization contracted with Fusion to review the unedited footage Daleiden posted online.  O'Keefe started this practice to counter the inevitable claims that he somehow doctored the videos.  O'Keefe's transparency went largely unappreciated.  The journalists who reviewed his footage knew what they wanted to say even without seeing it.  The former journalists at Fusion GPS, now in the employ of Planned Parenthood, did not even have to feign objectivity.

Bishop Criticizes Synod Funding: 'Money Associated With Planned Parenthood is Blood Money'.  Commenting on reports that money used to fund some of the groups participating in the Vatican's Amazonian synod came from the pro-abortion Ford Foundation — whose Board members include former Planned Parenthood President Cecile Richards — Bishop Joseph Strickland, head of the Diocese of Strickland, Texas, said, "Uncertain about where the truth is?  Follow the money!!! ... Money associated with PP [Planned Parenthood] is blood money."

Judge Suppresses Evidence Of Baby Body Part Trafficking In Planned Parenthood Trial.  Over the last two weeks in the ongoing federal civil jury trial of Planned Parenthood against David Daleiden, Judge William Orrick has repeatedly cut off defense questioning that he considers straying too close to eliciting information related to Planned Parenthood's history of selling tissue from aborted fetuses.  Planned Parenthood is suing undercover journalist David Daleiden and others associated with his organization, Center for Medical Progress, alleging that Daleiden and his team committed illegal wiretapping, trespassing, breaches of confidentiality, and more.  The challenge that Planned Parenthood attorneys have accepted is to make the case that Daleiden and his team illegally recorded private conversations, without admitting what exactly those conversations were about.

Whatever happened to the organization's so-called 'singular focus' on women's health?
Planned Parenthood Gets Furiously Political:  Pledges $45M Against Trump and Other Candidates.  Planned Parenthood's super PAC on Wednesday [10/9/2019] announced a $45 million political campaign — the goal of which will be to defeat President Donald Trump and other Republicans in their 2020 election races.  In other words — the so-called women's "health organization" has gone full-out political (as if it weren't already in so many other ways).  The money raised by the biggest provider of abortions in this country will fund a "large-scale" grassroots organization as well as canvas, digital, television, radio and mail programs.

Planned Parenthood Is A Money Laundering Operation For The Democratic Party, And Republicans Refuse To Do Anything About It.  As The Hill notes, Planned Parenthood is planning to make a major investment in the 2020 election.  The abortion conglomerate's super PAC announced that it would be spending upwards of $45 million to unseat Republican politicians and replace them with Democrats. [...] Planned Parenthood is directly conflating its interest with the interests of elected Democrats, as if the two groups are joined at the hip.  Of course, they are joined at the hip.  The Democratic Party has long been a prostitute of the abortion industry — doing its bidding and dancing to its tune, as any informed person knows.  None of this is news, although it is still notable.

Planned Parenthood Launches $45 Million Campaign to Flip Senate and Defeat Trump.  The campaign will be aimed at funding "large-scale grassroots" movements as well as media and mailers to support pro-abortion candidates in local, state and national races.  Specifically, they plan to target Arizona, Colorado, Florida, Michigan, Minnesota, New Hampshire North Carolina, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin.  "Next November, our very rights and freedoms will be on the ballot," Kelley Robinson, executive director of Planned Parenthood Votes, told The Hill.  "Already, we've seen Trump and his buddies in Congress and state legislatures do everything they can to strip us of our rights and access to health care."

Homicide is not a right, and abortion is not health care.

Planned Parenthood announces record-high election spending ahead of 2020.  Planned Parenthood announced on Wednesday [10/9/2019] it plans to spend at least $45 million ahead of the 2020 elections, the most it has ever spent during an election cycle.  The push comes as abortion rights are under assault across the Midwest and South, with state lawmakers passing abortion bans and restrictions aimed at capturing the attention of the Supreme Court.  The investment intends to fund large-scale grassroots programs and canvassing, digital, television, radio and mail programs in battleground states across the country, according to a press release.  Planned Parenthood Votes, the independent expenditure political committee arm of the reproductive health giant, will target nine states in its initial spend, with plans of expanding.  Those states are Arizona, Colorado, Florida, Michigan, Minnesota, New Hampshire, North Carolina, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin.

Planned Parenthood Lawsuit Tries to Punish Pro-Lifers Who Exposed Its Baby Part Sales as Criminals.  Today [10/2/2019], Troy Newman and three of his co-defendants will walk into Judge William Orrick's Federal courtroom and begin their defense against Planned Parenthood's accusations against them in the biggest pro-life trial in two decades.  Planned Parenthood brought the case against Newman, Susan Merritt, David Daleiden, the Center for Medical Progress, and the CMP's' alter-ego, Biomax, in 2016, after the release of a series of undercover videos that revealed Planned Parenthood's participation in the illegal trafficking of aborted baby remains for profit.  In an ironic twist, instead of Planned Parenthood being held accountable, the largest abortion organization in America have brought the pro-life journalists to court and accused them of corruption and racketeering.

Planned Parenthood Opens Huge Secret Abortion Center Outside St. Louis, Built Under Fake Name.  Planned Parenthood is opening a huge new abortion business on the border of Illinois and Missouri after keeping it secret for a year.  CBS News reports the new mega-clinic is located in Fairview Heights, Illinois, just 13 miles away from St. Louis, Missouri.  The abortion chain also hopes to sell abortions to women in Kentucky and Arkansas at the new facility.  Planned Parenthood is the largest abortion business in the U.S.  Last year, it reported a record $1.66 billion in revenue and more than 330,000 abortions, even as patient numbers fell.

Planned Parenthood to open Illinois abortion 'mega clinic' that was built in secret.  Planned Parenthood will open a huge, secretly built "mega clinic" in Ilinois near the Missouri border as lawmakers push for an abortion ban in the Show Me State, according to reports Wednesday [10/2/2019].  The women's health provider built the sprawling center in Fairview Heights using a shell company to avoid attention and protests, according to CBS.  The center, which will provide abortion and other reproductive services, is 13 miles from Missouri's only legal abortion clinic, which may soon be shuttered, according to the station.

30 of The Biggest Lies & Hoaxes Perpetrated on The American People.  [#30] Abortion and Planned Parenthood:  Whereas they purport they are all about "family planning" and "women's rights to choose," that is merely a cover story for their true agendas.  The abortion agenda and anti-fertility methods have been pushed upon the population since the early 1900s.  In fact, 60,000 Americans were sterilized well before the Nazis sought advice from California on perfecting their own efforts.  The Clintons got heavily involved with Planned Parenthood dating back to 1993.  It is not just about preventing more births through contraception, birth control and abortion, which they have succeeded in.  We are at the lowest birth rate in 80-years.  It is also about selling body parts, experimentation, big money, and God knows what else.  And many politicians, such as Kamala Harris, have gone above and beyond to cover it up.  Guess who else wants to cover it up?  Google/YouTube doesn't want you knowing the truth behind "Planned Parenthood" either, so they made certain to Blacklist the search for "Planned Parenthood."

The Church At Planned Parenthood Spokane.  The Church at Planned Parenthood (TCAPP) holds worship services outside of the Planned Parenthood facilities once a month.  This month, the services were held on September 25, 2019, with what appears to be record-breaking crowds.  This is a phenomenon that has touched the hearts of people around the country.

Like It Never Even Happened.  A few years ago, Project Veritas caught several Planned Parenthood officials and doctors admitting on undercover recordings to selling the body parts of aborted fetuses, talking about how much the various parts were worth, discussing extraction techniques that wouldn't damage the resale value of the babies' bodies, etc.  It was truly disgusting, morally repugnant.  It was a revelation — undeniable, factual, revealing of their day-in/day-out unethical business practice — that should have resulted in a national outcry.  It should have been covered unceasingly by the national news, there should have been aggressive follow-up investigative reporting and the Planned Parenthood personnel involved should have been hounded and questioned relentlessly.  And if this had been a Republican/conservative group that has committed some heinous, indefensible act, that is exactly what would have happened.  But that didn't happen to Planned Parenthood.  Instead, the Democrats embarked on a combination of denial of the incident and vigorous defense of the organization.

Abortionist Testifies at Fetal Parts Hearing: 'Some of These Fetuses were Live Births'.  A longtime abortionist took the stand this week in a San Francisco courtroom and testified on behalf of two pro-life undercover investigators, David Daleiden and Sandra Merritt, who are being prosecuted for recording secret footage of abortion industry executives talking about how they procure fetal body parts to sell to researchers.  According to observers of a preliminary hearing, California obstetrician-gynecologist Dr. Forrest Smith, told the court that the abortion executives in the footage likely illegally altered abortion procedures, causing babies to be born alive and putting the mothers in more danger of complications in their quest for more intact fetal body parts.

'No question it's alive': In a California courtroom, an abortionist exposes Planned Parenthood's deceit.  After decades of deceit, the abortion industry's carefully placed mask is coming off.  Last week, Illinois authorities found thousands of "medically preserved" fetal remains in the garage of Ulrich Klopfer, a former Indiana abortion doctor.  This week, one of the United State's longest-practicing abortion doctors admitted to a California court that Planned Parenthood doctors intentionally trigger live births to harvest organs and cells from fetuses.  Dr. Forrest Smith, an obstetrician-gynecologist and abortionist who estimates he's performed at least 50,000 abortions, testified on behalf of undercover pro-life investigators David Daleiden and Sandra Merritt before a San Francisco court.  Daleiden and Merritt published a series of controversial videos in which Planned Parenthood executives admitted to participating in the underground trade of fetal body parts for a profit.  Daleiden and Merritt are now facing 14 felony counts for recording confidential information without permission.

Abortion Advocates Attack Kavanaugh Because They're Losing the Argument.  As Madeline Osburn notes, after kicking in the door of a journalist duo's office to seize his research materials, the mighty California criminal justice system charged David Daleiden and Sandra Merritt with the crime of embarrassing Planned Parenthood.  There is no dispute that their reporting truthfully exposed Planned Parenthood's grotesque and illegal practice of harvesting organs and limbs of aborted babies to sell.  California Attorney General Kamala Harris's office coordinated with abortion-rights advocates to target Daleiden and Merritt and work up a criminal pretext to punish them for exposing the abortion provider's vile business practices.  The trial has been an unmitigated disaster for Planned Parenthood.

Hearings Expose How Kamala Harris Used Prosecutorial Power To Benefit Abortion Businesses That Support Her Campaigns.  More than four years ago, former California attorney general Kamala Harris launched an investigation into the work of citizen journalists and abortion activists David Daleiden and Sandra Merritt, who discovered Planned Parenthood's trafficking of aborted baby body parts. [...] Not only was the district attorney's office unable to produce evidence of probable cause, however, it instead became increasingly clear that the charges were not brought forth based on a real case but as part of a political prosecution on behalf of Planned Parenthood.  Cross examination of witnesses, abortionists, and investigators revealed not just admissions of the violent crimes Daleiden set out to expose with his undercover videos in question, but that this is a textbook example of corporate donors and corrupt politicians ignoring civil liberties and using their power to prey upon political opponents.

Leana Wen:  Planned Parenthood Is Trying to 'Buy My Silence'.  Leana Wen, who was president of Planned Parenthood until the organization fired her in July, alleged the abortion provider is trying to "buy" her silence, according to a document obtained by the New York Times.  Wen, who held the position for only eight months, attempted to turn Planned Parenthood's focus more toward becoming a "national health care organization" during her brief tenure.  The move was not well-received, and Wen was soon ousted after she was deemed not "political" enough for the organization.

Former Planned Parenthood Sex-ed Teacher:  Classes Promote Promiscuity to Increase Abortions.  A former Planned Parenthood instructor reveals in a bombshell report that her former employer "pushed sex ed on kids to create a market for abortion."  In a shocking story published by LifeNews.com, former sex-ed teacher Monica Cline claims Planned Parenthood "pushes sex education that 'grooms' children for promiscuity and leads to abortion."  Given the length of the list of atrocities committed by Planned Parenthood, such a story should not be surprising, but Cline's chronicle of the organization's pro-abortion agenda and how its sex-ed classes are designed to drum up business to further that agenda is startling and sickening, nonetheless.

Planned Parenthood Is Now Aiming To Teach Your Child To Be Transgender.  If it can't succeed in killing the child, then Planned Parenthood will try its level best to ruin their lives.  According to Fox News, the abortion giant is now advising parents on how to teach preschoolers about their bodies via their website, by telling them that "boy" and "girl" are just words.

In Court Hearing, Planned Parenthood Employee Admits to Trafficking in Baby Body Parts.  Day one of the preliminary hearing for pro-life activist David Daleiden kicked off Tuesday morning at the San Francisco Superior Court with testimony from an abortion technician, a third-trimester abortionist, and a vice president of the National Abortion Federation, who testified she doesn't know what a human tissue procurement company is or does.  NAF Vice President of External Affairs Melissa Fowler also testified she recognized StemExpress — a human tissue procurement lab exposed in Daleiden's undercover videos that is now under federal investigation — as a repeat vendor of her for-profit organization.  NAF is a third-party abortion trade group.

Cutbacks hit family planning clinics that lost federal dollars over Trump abortion rules.  Some health clinics that quit the federal family planning program over Trump anti-abortion policies are cutting staff, charging for services that had been free and making other austerity moves to avert a major hollowing out of reproductive health care for poor women.  At least four state health departments, hundreds of Planned Parenthood clinics and dozens of independent providers have withdrawn from the more than $250 million Title X program.  Some have literally had to box up and return unused supplies bought with a government discount.

Awwww.  Everybody's a victim, according to to Politico, except for the (mostly black) babies that won't be murdered because Planned Parenthood didn't have enough money on hand.

Dangerous Planned Parenthood abortion mill runs without license as judge bumps deadlines.  Planned Parenthood's last abortion facility in Missouri continues to operate without an abortion license, despite a history of health violations and a deadline that came and went months ago.  Reproductive Health Services of Planned Parenthood of the St. Louis Region has been fighting the Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services over its annual license renewal, arguing that the state is trying to "intimidate" abortionists by making renewal contingent on interviewing them about patient complaints.

Planned Parenthood Recruits 136 Pop Stars To Spout Abortion Propaganda At Concerts.  There's a wonderful line from the 2007 documentary, Indoctrinate U, regarding the left's propaganda machine on college campuses.  One professor jokingly quips that progressives are "quite ruthless about their desire for a kinder and gentler world."  The same can and should be said about Planned Parenthood's dedication to indoctrinating the next generation and public at large via pro-abortion lies perpetuated by some of the music industry's most popular stars.  The National Review's Mairead McCardle reports that the taxpayer-funded abortion conglomerate has recruited at least 136 musicians to discuss recent state abortion bans and encourage their fans to vote for anti-life politicians at their performances.

End Planned Parenthood's White Supremacy.  Rather than admit that, despite its Orwellian name, Planned Parenthood's main business is promoting and profiting from abortions, the poster child for the culture of death on Monday [8/19/2019] pulled the plug on its participation in the Title 10 federal family planning program. [...] This is not quite the defunding victory fulfilling a campaign promise Trump supporters had hoped for but it's a good start.  The group had been receiving roughly $60 million under the program, receiving far more under Medicaid and gets funding from other federal and state programs to combat HIV and provide sexual education to teenagers.  But money is fungible and receiving those funds allows Planned Parenthood to shift other funds to their main priority — funding abortions.

Trump Administration Takes Away Federal Title X Funding For Planned Parenthood.  The Trump Administration has implemented a new rule that bans all federal Title X funding for immoral companies like Planned Parenthood that perform abortion services.

Planned Parenthood leaves federal family planning program.  Planned Parenthood said Monday [8/19/2019] it's pulling out of the federal family planning program rather than abide by a new Trump administration rule prohibiting clinics from referring women for abortions.

Planned Parenthood is not about family planning.  They don't plan families.  They plan abortions.

Jury orders Planned Parenthood to pay $3M to former director who exposed lies, negligence.  An Arizona jury has unanimously awarded $3 million in damages to a former Planned Parenthood director who was fired after reporting an abortionist's illegal conduct and high complication rates, falsification of affidavits and patient records, incomplete abortions, and failure to report statutory rape.  Mayra Rodriguez, who ran three Planned Parenthood clinics in Arizona and worked for the organization for 17 years, sued the non-profit after being wrongfully terminated from her position in October 2017 after repeatedly making claims that Planned Parenthood was endangering the health and safety of its patients.

Former Planned Parenthood president reveals how ghoulish the abortion giant really is.  Leana Wen, now the former president of the Planned Parenthood Federation of America, was fired from the organization over what she calls "philosophical differences over the best way to protect reproductive health."  A few days later, she penned an op-ed in the New York Times explaining what happened and why, from her perspective.  What she reveals about the organization's goals and methodology is not only unsurprising, but confirms what conservatives have been claiming about Planned Parenthood for years.

Planned Parenthood just exposed its own phony face.  Poor Leana Wen.  She took Planned Parenthood's propaganda a little too seriously.  And now she's out of a job. [...] No matter its political spin during fights over its funding, no matter what its glossy printed materials say, no matter how dishonestly it presents the statistics related to its services, the organization is about abortion first and last, now and forever.

Ousted Planned Parenthood head says she tried to 'depoliticize' the group.  The former Planned Parenthood president, ousted from her position after eight months on the job, says the move came as she was trying to "depoliticize" the organization.  "In the end, I was asked to leave for the same reason I was hired:  I was changing the direction of Planned Parenthood," Dr. Leana Wen said in an op-ed in The New York Times on Friday [7/19/2019].  Wen said she faced pressure from a new Board of Directors to prioritize doubling down on abortion rights advocacy rather than emphasizing the organization's "role in providing essential health care to millions of underserved women and families."

Judge to Slash Planned Parenthood Lawsuit Against Undercover Baby Parts Videos.  A federal judge said Wednesday [7/17/2019] he intends to decisively cut back a lawsuit filed by Planned Parenthood against the undercover citizen journalists who documented the organization's alleged sales of aborted baby body parts for profit.  In what was a surprising victory for the First Amendment rights of the citizen journalists, Judge William Orrick III of U.S. District Court in San Francisco, delivered a tentative ruling, which Center for Medical Progress (CMP), the producer of the videos, said Orrick instructed should be treated as substantially final.

Planned Parenthood of Illinois facilities remain open after court ruling.  Planned Parenthood of Illinois isn't getting any more federal tax money, but it has received millions of tax dollars from Illinois in the past decade.  A federal appeals court last month upheld President Donald Trump's new rule prohibiting federal dollars from going to family planning centers that promote abortion.

Planned Parenthood Officials Say They've Halted Use Of Title X Family Planning Funds.  Planned Parenthood clinics nationwide have stopped using federal Title X family planning funds, according to the organization.  The decision comes after the Trump administration announced this week that it has started enforcing regulations that prohibit Title X grant recipients from counseling patients about abortion.

Planned Parenthood president terminated after 8 months.  Planned Parenthood removed its president from the organization on Tuesday after less than a year on the job.  Dr. Leana Wen announced her departure on Twitter, characterizing the decision as being made by the board during a "secret meeting."  "We were engaged in good faith negotiations about my departure based on philosophical differences over the direction and future of Planned Parenthood," she said.

Planned Parenthood chief Leana Wen ousted in 'secret meeting'.  The president of Planned Parenthood said she was ousted Tuesday following a "secret meeting" of the board.  Dr. Leana Wen was forced out after just eight months on the job.  "I just learned that the @PPFA Board ended my employment at a secret meeting," Wen tweeted.  Wen later said in a statement that she and the board chairs had "philosophical differences over the direction and future of Planned Parenthood."

Ohio removes Planned Parenthood funding from budget, will fund pro-life pregnancy centers instead.  Ohio lawmakers are nearing final passage of a budget that defunds the nation's largest abortion provider and increases support for pregnant and parenting moms in the state.  Fox News reports the Ohio Senate passed the two-year, $69 billion budget bill last week with a $1.5 million cut in funding to Planned Parenthood annually.  The budget also includes $5 million for pregnancy resource centers — five times what the nonprofits have received in the past, according to the report.  The bill moves back to the state House for a vote after the Senate amended it, but local news outlets predicted the Republican-controlled legislature likely will pass it.

Appeals court clears way for Trump administration rule targeting Planned Parenthood.  The 9th Circuit Court of Appeals ruled Thursday that the Trump administration's restrictions on family planning funds could go into effect, a move that would cut off millions of dollars from organizations like Planned Parenthood that provide abortions.  The Trump administration's rules had been temporarily blocked nationwide by federal judges in Oregon and Washington, and statewide in California.  On Thursday [9/20/2019], a panel of judges in the 9th Circuit granted the request 3-0 from the Trump administration to block the preliminary injunctions, saying the different lawsuits underway needed to play out.

Court Rules President Trump Can Defund Planned Parenthood, Will Cut Almost $60 Million in Taxpayer Funding.  A federal appeals court today [6/20/2019] ruled President Donald Trump can partially defund planned Parenthood while the abortion business' lawsuit against his administration's new rules moves forward.  As LifeNews reported in March, the Trump administration finalized an administrative rule that would partially defund the Planned Parenthood abortion business and deprive it of as much as $60 million in taxpayer dollars.  This action adds to President Trump's record of defunding the Planned Parenthood abortion company.

The Planned Parenthood sex scandal you aren't reading about.  The International Planned Parenthood Federation reportedly hired prostitutes for staff, donors, and guests at official functions.  The Daily Mail broke the story in May, but the scandal has apparently been brewing for months, as the U.K.'s Department of International Development came under fire in January for donating £132 million of aid money to the group during investigations of sexual misconduct into the notorious abortion giant.  Internal documents related to the case reveal repeated claims of sexual harassment, bullying, abusive conduct, and intimidation of whistleblowers — for example, the transmission of a pornographic video to a female executive in order to terrify her into silence.

Planned Parenthood's false stat: 'Thousands' of women died every year before Roe.  A reader asked us to investigate this repeated claim by the president of Planned Parenthood — that "thousands of women" died every year from botched abortions before the Supreme Court in 1973 nullified antiabortion laws across the United States in Roe v Wade.  This turned out to be an interesting inquiry, taking The Fact Checker through a tour of decades of musty academic literature.  Statisticians had tried to parse data on what was, for the most part, an illegal act.  Unplanned pregnancy and abortions were deeply shameful at the time, so the official statistics were not necessarily reliable indicators of mortality rates from abortion.  Still, by the time Roe was issued, 17 states had liberalized their abortion laws, and the Centers for Disease Control was collecting solid data on abortion mortality.

These Are The Health And Safety Violations That Shut Down The St. Louis Planned Parenthood Clinic.  Abortion advocates called it an attack on women's health when the Missouri Health Department threatened to shut down a St. Louis Planned Parenthood clinic, but a report listing numerous health and safety violations paints a different picture.  The inspection report, published by CheckMyClinic.org, was acquired through a request for public records from the health department and online sources.  It contained a lengthy list of practices that could have put hundreds of patients at risk.

Emails Show Colorado Official Asking Planned Parenthood to Help Craft Press Release.  A Colorado official asked Planned Parenthood to help write the Alabama travel ban in the wake of that state's new abortion limits, according to documents.  On May 16, Democratic Secretary of State Jena Griswold announced that her office would no longer allow taxpayer-funded travel to Alabama to protest the country's most comprehensive abortion ban, but not before getting Planned Parenthood's approval.  A staffer in her office turned to the nation's largest abortion provider for help crafting the official taxpayer-funded communication.  Griswold's communications director Serena Woods emailed a draft asking for edits from Planned Parenthood Rocky Mountains official hours before the policy went public.

Planned Parenthood funding in Texas at stake as court hears arguments.  A federal appeals court heard arguments Tuesday on whether Texas had the right to cut off Medicaid funding to Planned Parenthood clinics in the state — a case that could also determine funding for the organization in Louisiana and Mississippi and that eventually may end up before the Supreme Court.

Pro-lifers assemble at Philadelphia Planned Parenthood in response to PA lawmaker's bullying fiasco.  Members of the pro-life movement took to the streets of Philadelphia in protest of a pro-abortion Pennsylvania lawmaker's behavior toward peaceful demonstrators just days before.  In just a few days, pro-life groups and activists put together the "Rally Against Bullying," which took place at the same Planned Parenthood location where Pennsylvania state Rep. Brian Sims (D) posted a video of himself harassing an "old white lady" praying and another video where he offered a cash reward for personal information on teenagers.  (Sims later defended his actions in another video.)

Here's How Planned Parenthood Is Ruining My State.  With a shift from "safe, legal, and rare" to "abortion on demand and without apology," it is never a surprise when leftist legislators propose bills that increase access to money-making, life-ending abortion procedures — especially in California.  Already one of the most abortion-friendly states in America, our representatives continuously fight for the approval and support of the largest abortion provider and one of the most politically powerful organizations in California, Planned Parenthood.

Planned Parenthood Supporters Mocking Pro-Lifers Shout about Urinating in Graves of Babies.  During a pro-life event at the University of San Antonio in Texas, Planned Parenthood supporters began waving around Planned Parenthood signs and mocking pro-lifers by singing about how having abortions is their "kink," and how the "fetuses are in the ground." According to Students for Life, Students for Life Regional Coordinator Sarah Zarr said that the Planned Parenthood activists confronted the Students for Life members the moment they set up.  The activists told them that they weren't allowed to be there because the issue affects black women and that the pro-life students had "white privilege."

Emails Reveal Planned Parenthood Pressured California to Force Churches to Pay for Abortions.  Internal emails between Planned Parenthood and the California Health and Human Services (CHHS) agency reveal the abortion industry giant pressured the state agency to force religious groups and churches to cover elective abortions.  Three churches filed a notice of appeal Thursday in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of California that includes the emails revealing conversations between Planned Parenthood and the state health agency, reported Catholic News Agency (CNA) Friday [4/5/2019].

Planned Parenthood President Attacks President Trump After Democrats Vote in Support of Infanticide.  On Monday evening Senate Democrats once again blocked a cloture measure that would prohibit infanticide.  Senators voted 53-44 on a bill from Senator Ben Sasse (R-NE) that would penalize doctors who fail to "exercise the proper degree of care in the case of a child who survives an abortion or attempted abortion.

Planned Parenthood President Offended 'as a Mother' by Born-Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act.  Something appears to have happened within the Democratic Party:  They're willing to murder babies, it seems, just to stand in opposition to President Trump.  This is truly a selling of the soul.

Women's health has improved over the last century, and Planned Parenthood had absolutely nothing to do with it.  Planned Parenthood is undeniably the face of the pro-abortion movement, with their iconic pink signs flooding left-wing political rallies, often emblazoned with phrases like "Together We Fight For All."  It's ironic, since the company ends the lives of more than 330,000 children each year.  Despite Planned Parenthood's mass depletion of the population, its president, Dr. Leana Wen, frequently lauds the baseless claim that the abortion giant has "done more for women's health than any other [organization] for the last 100 years."  That's a rather bold claim to make, but does it have any weight to it?  Let's examine vital women's healthcare innovations throughout the last century and see how Planned Parenthood fits into the picture. [...]

Trump Admin Issues New Title X Rule That Would Deprive Planned Parenthood of Federal Funding.  President Donald Trump's administration has taken a step towards stripping Planned Parenthood of federal funding.  The Health and Human Services Department has changed rules in the Title X program that will not allow groups that provide abortion or abortion referrals to participate in a $286 million federal family program.

Couple sues Planned Parenthood for child support after failed abortion.  An Idaho couple claims Planned Parenthood "deceived" them after a failed abortion — and is asking the asking the agency to cough up the unforeseen cost of raising "an additional unplanned child."  Biana Coons, who was six weeks pregnant with her son, traveled 700 miles with her partner, Cristobal Ruiz, to a Planned Parenthood in Albuquerque, New Mexico in February 2016 to avoid the mandatory waiting period in her home state.

Abby Johnson:  I Was 'Trained' by Planned Parenthood 'to Become an Abortion Salesperson'.  Abby Johnson, a former abortion clinic director at Planned Parenthood, joined Thursday's [2/14/2019] edition of SiriusXM's Breitbart News Daily, telling host Alex Marlow how Planned Parenthood trains its employees in selling abortion to women — particularly Christian women — with religious objections to such measures.

Planned Parenthood paid $6.5 million for a seat at the State of the Union.  House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., invited Leana Wen, president of the Planned Parenthood Federation of America, to be one of her guests at the State of the Union address.  Wen's seat was not cheap.  Affiliates of her organization spent millions to support Pelosi's quest for the majority in the House of Representatives and the ultimately unsuccessful efforts by Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., to retake the Senate.  In total, the Planned Parenthood Action Fund and Planned Parenthood Votes — the arms of the Planned Parenthood Network allowed to engage in electoral politics under tax regulations — spent almost $6.5 million in outside spending supporting the election of Democrats to both houses of Congress in the 2018 midterm and special elections, according to FEC records compiled by OpenSecrets.

Infanticide Endorsing Va.  Gov. Northam Got $2 Million From Planned Parenthood.  Planned Parenthood called Democrat Virginia Governor Ralph Northam who endorsed infanticide a "champion," but forgot to mention they donated almost $2 million to his campaign.  That means the country's largest abortion provider was Northam's third largest contributor in 2017.

The Woman Behind the Kamala Harris Presidential Campaign Is Ann Richards's Granddaughter.  California Senator Kamala Harris had what many consider a boffo kickoff last week for her Democratic presidential campaign — a huge rally in Oakland, the most widely viewed CNN candidate town hall ever, and kudos from pundits.  While Harris was everything her handlers could hope for — poised, polished, prepared — there's always someone behind that kind of success, someone who helped plan and pull together the events, a strategist with a steely vision.  In this case, it was a Texan with a political pedigree:  Lily Adams, the 31-year-old granddaughter of Texas icon and former Governor Ann Richards, and daughter of former Planned Parenthood president Cecile Richards.

Planned Parenthood Crumbling:  Abortions Up, Services Down, Taxpayers on the Hook.  Over the holiday weekend leading up to Martin Luther King Jr. Day, Planned Parenthood released its annual report for June 2017-June 2018. That report painted a dire picture for the abortion giant, as the group doubled down on abortion and taxpayer funding, experiencing a drop in new patients and a decrease in other services.  According to an analysis from the Susan B. Anthony (SBA) List, Planned Parenthood may be facing a dire crisis as more than one-third of its overall revenue comes from taxpayer funds even as abortion numbers increase and taxpayers are reluctant to bankroll abortion.

Planned Parenthood reports performing more abortions, 332,757, in latest year.  The number of abortions by Planned Parenthood increased by 11,373 over the course of a year, according to the organization's 2017-2108 annual report released this weekend.  The report shows that Planned Parenthood conducted 332,757 abortions for the fiscal year that ended June 30, 2018, an increase from 321,384 during the previous fiscal year.  Abortions make up 3.4 percent of the services Planned Parenthood performs, an increase from 3 percent the previous year.  More than half of its clinics, or 357 out of roughly 600, provide medication abortions, which women can use up to roughly 10 weeks into a pregnancy.  The annual report does not indicate the amount of revenue collected from providing abortions.  Some health insurance companies cover abortions, other women receive financial help, and others pay out of pocket.

Court Rules Undercover Videos Of Planned Parenthood Selling Baby Body Parts As Authentic.  The Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that the state of Texas can strip taxpayer subsidies from Planned Parenthood, primarily based on evidence found in undercover videos of the abortion provider's involvement in harvesting and selling aborted baby body parts for profit.  The undercover videos in question were first released in 2015 by David Daleiden, founder and project lead at the Center for Medical Progress (CMP), and scrutinized by Planned Parenthood and members of the media as "deceptively edited."

Fifth Circuit Drops Bombshell On Planned Parenthood — And The National Media.  Planned Parenthood took a body blow at the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals last night — and so did the national news media.  Despite the universally adopted narrative that the videos produced by David Daleiden and the Center for Medical Progress had been "debunked," the appellate court unanimously ruled that the videos were not deceptively edited and presented compelling evidence of misconduct.  They vacated the district court's injunction that forced Texas to keep Planned Parenthood on its Medicaid rolls and ordered a new review on the merits.

Fifth Circuit Ruling Dismantles Planned Parenthood Talking Points.  A ruling issued tonight by the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals has torpedoed several of the abortion-rights movement's key talking points in defense of Planned Parenthood.  The case dealt with the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's decision to terminate the state's Medicaid provider agreements with Planned Parenthood affiliates across the state.  The state based its decision to remove Planned Parenthood from the list of eligible Medicaid providers in large part on a series of undercover videos released in the summer of 2015 showing footage of Planned Parenthood executives and doctors admitting to illegally profiting from the sale of the fetal tissue of aborted babies.

Planned Parenthood Finally Delivers Truth On Abortion.  [Scroll down]  Nowhere in the Declaration, Constitution, or Bill of Rights is abortion discussed.  The idea that a woman has the right to terminate her pregnancy for any reason stems from the controversial Supreme Court ruling in Roe v. Wade.  The Justices argued that the 14th Amendment guaranteed some level of privacy from the government — an argument most conservatives and libertarians can probably get behind.  However, they decided that a woman's choice to terminate her pregnancy falls under that right to privacy.  We've covered this before.  Life begins at conception — that's a medically verifiable biological fact, at least according to the science as we currently understand it.  Few, if any, well-educated abortion activists argue that the "clump of cells" isn't technically a living organism; instead, they claim that that tiny living creature isn't quite yet a person, or that it has a negligible worth until a certain point in its development.  Some even go so far as to say that infants and small children have no right to be considered people, as they're reliant on parents for survival.  But make no mistake — aborting a fetus, or killing a baby or toddler, because you don't want the responsibility of parenthood is still taking another human life.

Planned Parenthood President Leana Wen:  Abortion is our 'core mission'.  Planned Parenthood President Dr. Leana Wen has affirmed the organization's commitment to providing abortions after she claimed the news media misconstrued her earlier statements about expanding non-abortion services.  Ms. Wen clarified Tuesday [1/8/2019] that Planned Parenthood's "core mission" is to provide, protect and expand access to abortion.  "We will never back down from that fight — it's a fundamental human right and women's lives are at stake," she tweeted.  Ms. Wen linked to a headline by BuzzFeed News, which she slammed as misleading.  "I am always happy to do interviews, but these headlines completely misconstrue my vision for Planned Parenthood," the physician wrote.

Planned Parenthood President Acknowledges The Truth:  Abortion Is Indeed Their Core Mission.  On Tuesday [1/8/2019], Planned Parenthood President Dr. Leana Wen finally admitted what Planned Parenthood has seemingly tried for years to deny:  the main mission of the organization is to perform abortions.  Wen issued a series of tweets in response to a Buzzfeed article about her that ran on Monday titled, "Planned Parenthood's New President Wants To Focus On Nonabortion Health Care."  Not wanting women who champion abortion to believe that somehow she didn't regard their wishes as primary for her organization, Wen tweeted, "I am always happy to do interviews, but these headlines completely misconstrue my vision for Planned Parenthood," followed by tweeting, "First, our core mission is providing, protecting and expanding access to abortion and reproductive health care.  We will never back down from that fight — it's a fundamental human right and women's lives are at stake."

Planned Parenthood In Crisis Mode After New York Times Exposed That It Punished Pregnant Employees.  Of all the places to expose Planned Parenthood for wrongdoing, you'd probably never peg the New York Times as one, but a new bombshell report showed that the abortion Goliath is guilty of harassing and punishing employees who were either pregnant or had just given birth.  According to the Gray Lady, a heartbreaking article described how employees at Planned Parenthood that were pregnant wouldn't be allowed to take lunch breaks or be allowed to rest, despite notes from medical professionals.  According to one woman, the amount of pressure the abortion giant was placing on her was threatening the health of her baby.

Planned Parenthood Accused of Mistreating Pregnant Employees.  Planned Parenthood faces accusations from former staff that it mistreats its pregnant employees by "sidelining, ousting or otherwise handicapping" them.  Discrimination against pregnant women and new mothers "is so pervasive that even organizations that define themselves as champions of women are struggling with the problem," the New York Times reports.  "In interviews and legal documents, women at Planned Parenthood and other organizations with a feminist bent described discrimination that violated federal or state laws  — managers considering pregnancy in hiring decisions, for example, or denying rest breaks recommended by a doctor," Times reporters Natalie Kitroeff and Jessica Silver-Greenberg report.  Other women said they feared they would be seen as abandoning colleagues if they announced their pregnancy at work.

Kavanaugh Joins Liberals to Protect Pro-Planned Parenthood Ruling.  The Supreme Court declined to review three cases relating to Republican efforts to defund Planned Parenthood at the state level Monday, over a vigorous dissent from Justice Clarence Thomas.  The dissent was significant because it indicates that Justice Brett Kavanaugh sided with the high court's liberal wing to deny review of a lower court decision that favored the nation's largest abortion provider.  "So what explains the Court's refusal to do its job here?," Thomas wrote.  "I suspect it has something to do with the fact that some respondents in these cases are named 'Planned Parenthood.'"

SCOTUS Sides with Planned Parenthood — Lib Media Says Undercover Baby Parts Videos Were Discredited(?).  In September 2016 the Center for Medical Progress released a shocking video — the 9th in its series of videos exposing Planned Parenthood of selling aborted babies and their body parts.  The video caught a Planned Parenthood medical director discussing how the abortion company sells fully intact aborted babies.  The liberal media worked overtime to hide these gruesome practices from the American public.  They had to.  The selling of baby body parts is so utterly grotesque and barbaric.  When conservatives compared what Planned Parenthood is doing to Nazi laboratory experiments, they were not exaggerating.

Far from safe, abortion is dirty, dangerous and fatal, but Planned Parenthood would rather you not know.  Is abortion 'the safest procedure?'  The Planned Parenthood propaganda has dined out for years on its claim that legal abortions are the preferable alternative to 'back-alley' and 'coat-hanger' abortions.  There's not a Democratic Party convention since 1973 where this hasn't been shouted to the rafters.  Apparently it's not even true.  Planned Parenthood is fighting with every tooth and nail it has to keep abortion reporting requirements 'safe' from the public eye, and it's prompting questions about just what they have to hide.

President urged to defund Planned Parenthood.  President Trump has been praised for the pro-life decisions he's made, and now one organization is asking him to take the next step.  "It's a promise that the president made on the campaign trail, and he needs to fulfill it now before pro-abortion candidates head to Washington in January," says Alison Howard Centofante, director of strategic communication at Live Action.  Centofante says there are better, safer, more holistic options than abortion and funding for abortion organizations like Planned Parenthood.

Parents angry after Planned Parenthood 'consent' sex ed video forced on students — without consent.  A Planned Parenthood-produced sex education video shown during an English class at Sarasota, Florida's Pine View School lectured students about the concept of consent.  Now parents are offering a different lesson about consent to school officials, who never asked for permission to expose their kids to morally questionable material.  Seniors in an English Literature course were treated to the video "How Do You Know If Someone Wants To Have Sex With You?" on Nov. 7 as part of a presentation by a counselor from the "Safe Place and Rape Crisis Center," which partners with the district for sex education, WVTV reports.  The video depicts several scenes with same-sex couples, as well as an inebriated teen, while offering advice about the limits of sexual activity in different circumstances.

Planned Parenthood Lists '7 Ways to Be Gender-Inclusive in Your Language'.  To celebrate "Trans Awareness Week," abortion giant Planned Parenthood has released seven linguistic tips to help gender-sensitive individuals use terms that will not offend members of the LGBTQ "community."  Partnering with GLAAD — formerly the Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation — Planned Parenthood has taken political correctness to a new level, leaving behind feminist inclusivity to remove all references to men or women out respect of for those who are neither.

Blessing an abortion clinic is 'crazy faith' indeed.  It's no secret that some religious denominations support legal abortion.  But it's nothing short of grotesque when members of the clergy don their robes and stoles and lead a public blessing of abortion businesses.  This happened in 2015, when a group of mostly female clergy blessed the Preterm clinic in Cleveland, where just a year earlier, young mother Lakisha Wilson had a second-trimester abortion that killed her.  Now another "blessing" is planned for Nov. 9, this time outside Planned Parenthood of Greater Ohio's East Columbus Surgical Center.

Democrats have intentionally divided the country and stoked fear among the public for a very long time.  [Scroll down]  Democrats and the media are also big supporters of Planned Parenthood, which was founded by Margaret Sanger, who was an evil racist who wanted abortion to build a cleaner race.  Handicapped people were also a major target.  One of the most despicable injunctions from Margaret Sanger is "we don't want the word to get out that we want to exterminate the Negro population[.]"  And what did Hillary Clinton say about Sanger[?]  "I admire Margaret Sanger enormously.  I am really in awe of her."

Planned Parenthood Contributed $126,886 to Democrats on Judiciary Committee; $0 to Republicans.  Planned Parenthood's political action committees, employees and family members of employees have contributed $126,886 to Democrats currently sitting on the Senate Judiciary Committee, and $0 to Republican senators on the committee, according to data from The Center for Responsive Politics, which includes campaign contributions from 1990 through 2018.  Planned Parenthood — which, as the nation's largest abortion provider performed 321,384 abortions in fiscal 2016 — has given Democratic Senate Judiciary Committee members a total of $29,961 in 2018 alone.  The Senate Judiciary Committee currently is battling over the fate of Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh, who was nominated by President Donald Trump on July 9.

Planned Parenthood Turns on Their Former Champion Sen. Collins Over Her Kavanaugh Vote.  Planned Parenthood turned on their former ally Sen. Susan Collins (R-ME) Friday after she announced that she will be voting to confirm President Trump's Supreme Court nominee Judge Brett Kavanaugh despite the eleventh hour sexual misconduct allegations against him.  The nation's largest abortion provider declared that Collins can "no longer call herself a women's rights champion" due to her decision.  Planned Parenthood's "youth squad" even declared that the vote announcement was a "betrayal of people everywhere."  In her speech, Collins concluded that since Dr. Christine Blasey Ford, the woman accusing Kavanaugh of sexual misconduct, had named four witnesses who could not corroborate her account she did not think Ford's claims met a "more likely than not" standard.

Planned Parenthood's New Boss Wants Full Disclosure from Everyone (but Herself).  Dr. Leana Wen, Planned Parenthood's new president, is serving until November as the Baltimore, Maryland, health commissioner.  But she has lobbied for the revelations of the private information of physicians — including their political affiliations, their views on abortion, and the contributions they may or may not have received from pharmaceutical companies.  But does she hold herself to the same standard?  Wen — who emigrated from China when she was eight years old — launched a website back in 2014 called Who's My Doctor, aimed at revealing personal information about doctors (the website is no longer online).

Planned Parenthood's New President Utters Most Hypocritical Statement Ever.  In a new video from Planned Parenthood trumpeting that for the first time in 50 years, a doctor, Leanna Wen, will serve as the organization's president, Wen manages to utter what may be the most hypocritical statement of any public figure in years, boasting she fights for the "most vulnerable" in our society.  Unreal.  The video begins with Wen relating that she came from China with her parents when she was eight years old.  Saying her family was dependent on Medicaid and food stamps "and also on Planned Parenthood for health care," Wen continues by claiming she became an ER doctor because she "never wanted to turn any patients away."

Manchin Joins Red State Dems To Keep Funding For Planned Parenthood.  Several Red State Democratic senators voted Thursday against defunding Planned Parenthood, an abortion referral agency.  As the Washington Examiner reports, Sens. Joe Donnell (D-Ind.), Bill Nelson (D-Fl.), Bob Casey (D-Penn.), Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.), Claire McCaskill (D-Mo.) Heidi Heitkamp (D-N.D.) and Jon Tester (D-Mont.) all opposed an amendment from Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) that would have withheld federal money from the organization.  The Senate defeated the motion 48-45.  In a news release from West Virginia Republican Senate candidate Patrick Morrisey, spokesman Nathan Brand wrote that "Sen. Manchin's support for the largest abortion provider in the nation continues to be one of the biggest issues" in the senate race and notes that "this is the fifth time Sen. Manchin has voted to fund abortion provider Planned Parenthood."

Rand Paul Introduces Amendment To Defund Planned Parenthood Bill.  Another dead-on-arrival motion to defund abortion conglomerate Planned Parenthood has been introduced by Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) as an amendment to the Senate appropriations package for Defense, Labor, Health and Human Services, and Education.  In a statement last Friday, Sen. Paul called on Congress to halt the scourge of taxpayer-funded abortions, reminding the GOP to stick to their pro-life values.  "One of the top priorities for a Republican Congress that professes pro-life values on the campaign trail should be to stop taxpayer funding for abortion providers," said Paul.  "This is our chance to turn our words into action, stand up for the sanctity of life, and speak out for the most innocent among us that have no voice."

School Board Allows Planned Parenthood Partners to Open Clinic at Local High School.  A Pennsylvania school board approved a plan Wednesday [8/22/2018] to establish a reproductive health center inside its high school that will be run by partners of Planned Parenthood, the largest abortion group in America.  Last year, the Reading School Board narrowly rejected a proposal to put a Planned Parenthood-run health center inside Reading High School after a strong public outcry.  However, this summer, the board quietly moved forward with a similar plan, and on Wednesday, approved it in an 8-1 vote, WFMZ reports.

First They Came for Alex Jones.  [Scroll down]  For more than a year, 20-something David Daleiden and his group, Center for American Progress, recorded undercover videos of several Planned Parenthood clinics that trafficked in baby parts.  The videos had to potential to shake up the 2016 election.  Even Hillary Clinton called them "disturbing."  The major media, of course, refused to show the videos.  When Planned Parenthood's Democratic allies in Texas and California had Daleiden arrested on charges even more trumped up than O'Keefe's in New Orleans, the media turned their collective back.  Into the void stepped Planned Parenthood spokespeople, now confidently dismissing this damning evidence as "faked criminal videos," a charge the media reinforced.

Undercover Journalist Has a Dozen New Planned Parenthood Videos to Release if Gag Order Dropped.  The undercover journalist who exposed Planned Parenthood's alleged involvement in the sale of aborted baby body parts for profit says he has a dozen more videos to release if a gag order blocking them is dropped.  During a conference call with reporters Thursday [8/16/2018], David Daleiden of the Center for Medical Progress (CMP) and his lawyers said they have filed a motion to dismiss a federal judge's gag order that was sought by the National Abortion Federation (NAF) to block the release of the additional videos.

Can states defund Planned Parenthood?  Planned Parenthood has filed suit against states that want to redistribute the money to local clinics that offer far more services and are not associated with terminating the lives of preborn babies.  Attorney Rachel Busick of Americans United for Life tells OneNewsNow the abortion conglomerate files suit when states decide to no longer finance them.  "Planned Parenthood's suing because they think that they should have a constitutional right to receive government funds because they provide abortion," Busick comments.  But she asserts that "they clearly do not" have that right.

Planned Parenthood Counselor Caught Telling Teen to Let Her Boyfriend Beat Her.  Abortion activists claim pro-lifers are engaging in a "war on women:" by passing legislation to protect women and unborn children from abortion.  But a new expose' video catches a Planned Parenthood staffer engaging in her own war on women.  The pro-life group Live Action released the third installment today in its "SexEd" investigative series, showing a Planned Parenthood staffer in Portland, Oregon offering disturbing sex counseling to someone she thinks is a fifteen-year-old girl.  The video clearly shows the counselor encouraging the young girl to allow herself to be victimized in violent sexual encounters with her partner.  The staffer tells the investigator that "it's very common to experiment with different things," including "being tied up" and "whipped" and "the baby thing, where they will put on diapers[.]"

Court Drops Bogus Charges Against David Daleiden for Exposing Planned Parenthood Baby Part Sales.  A court has dropped some of the bogus charges against pro-life advocate David Daleiden, who exposed the sales of body parts from aborted babies at Planned Parenthood abortion clinics and throughout the abortion industry.  The National Abortion Federation (NAF) dismissed seven out of eleven claims on Friday against Daleiden and his organization, the Center for Medical Progress (CMP), in court on Friday [7/20/2018].  In 2015, NAF sued David and CMP after they began releasing undercover videos exposing Planned Parenthood's trafficking of baby body parts.  Buying and selling fetal tissue is illegal under federal law.

Planned Parenthood Would Gut the First Amendment to Silence Sting Videos.  Planned Parenthood and the National Abortion Federation (NAF) have each separately sued David Daleiden and the Center for Medical Progress (CMP) over sting videos released in 2015, showing Planned Parenthood executives haggling over prices for aborted baby parts.  Planned Parenthood has engaged in legal warfare against Daleiden, seeking to silence him and anyone else who would reveal their alleged criminal profiteering from baby parts.  While sting videos are commonplace in journalism, California's attorney general — whose campaign was funded by the abortion giant — is prosecuting Daleiden over the videos.

Planned Parenthood Sues to Deny Women Information About Abortion Risks.  Planned Parenthood of the Great Northwest and the Hawaiian Islands (PPGNHI) filed a lawsuit Tuesday against Idaho's Abortion Complications Reporting Act which went into effect July 1st.  The legislation details 37 abortion complications that must be reported to the Idaho Department of Health and Welfare including infection, blood clots, and hemorrhaging.  The bill also requires that any psychological conditions following an abortion be reported such as depression, anxiety, and sleeping disorders.  It mandates that abortion providers report the number of times their patients have had past abortions and other information about the patients including age, race, and number of children.

Planned Parenthood Killed 964,325 Unborn Babies in Abortions Worldwide Last Year.  The International Planned Parenthood Federation (IPPF) reports that its affiliates ended the lives of nearly one million unborn children in 2015.  In all 964,325, unborn children were terminated by chemical and surgical abortion by IPPF just last year alone.  A million of anything is a staggering number.  But the loss of nearly a million children by surgical or chemical abortion is a tragedy beyond reckoning.  If you were to read off the names of IPPF's tiny victims — without sleeping, breaking or pausing — it would take you almost two years.  In fact, you would never finish.  By the time you finished reading the list of all the lives lost in 2015, IPPF's abortion facilities will have added another two million lives to be accounted for.

New Planned Parenthood Lipstick Turns Aborting Babies Into a Fashion Statement.  As disgusting as it seems, abortion activists are trying to turn the Planned Parenthood abortion business into a fashion statement.  At celebrity awards shows this year, a number of celebrities wore little gold pins of the abortion chain's logo.  Now, a company has created a pink lipstick to benefit the group that aborts more than 300,000 unborn babies every single year.

David Daleiden:  Planned Parenthood Sold Baby Body Parts Before the Baby Was Even Aborted.  Piles upon piles of documents have been coming out of a Congressional investigation of the abortion industry and its trafficking of aborted babies' body parts.  As journalists and pro-lifer sift through the evidence released by the Congressional Select Panel on Infant Lives, they are uncovering more shocking details about how callously the abortion industry treats human life.  David Daleiden, the founder of the Center for Medical Progress, which exposed Planned Parenthood selling aborted babies' body parts in a series of undercover videos, pointed to evidence this week that some abortion clinics made plans to sell the aborted babies' parts while the babies were still alive.

Father Raped Teen Daughter, Took Her to Planned Parenthood for Abortion.  It Did One and Sent Her Back to Him.  Since 1999, federal regulations have made clear that all Title X grantees should follow state mandatory-reporter laws, but the new proposal makes that long-running expectation into a requirement.  Why the change?  What organization wouldn't already follow state laws to protect innocent children from sexual predators?  Planned Parenthood.  There have been numerous cases over the years in which Planned Parenthood performed abortions on child victims of sexual abuse without alerting the authorities.  In fact, a 2014 study on sex trafficking found that Planned Parenthood was the top most-visited clinical facility for trafficking victims, second only to hospital emergency rooms.  Despite Planned Parenthood's abortionists and staff members being required to report abuse in most states, they have repeatedly declined to alert authorities, allowing the abuse to continue for months and even years.

Hillary and the Children.  The hypocrisy of Hillary Clinton and Planned Parenthood on the subject of children separated from their illegal alien parents at the border is mind-numbing. [...] They say nothing about American children such as Kate Steinle and Jamiel Shaw Jr. separated from their families by illegal alien killers lurking in sanctuary cities.  They talk of children ripped from their mother's arms but not children ripped from their mother's womb.  They certainly don't talk about heads and limbs being ripped from fetal torsos carefully enough so that the fetal body parts can be sold intact.  Hillary Clinton is a supporter of Planned Parenthood and insists it should not be defunded as part of any reform.  Planned Parenthood has been credibly accused of selling body parts of aborted babies for fun and profit.  Margaret Sanger is Hillary's role model, someone who advocated population control through abortion and advocated the extermination of the black race.

Melinda Gates Upset President Trump Defunded International Planned Parenthood.  Melinda Gates, wife of billionaire Microsoft founder Bill Gates, wishes President Trump had allowed International Planned Parenthood to continue its murderous agenda across the globe instead of defunding it.  Keeping true to his pro-life promises, President Trump implemented the Mexico City Policy shortly after taking office.  Approximately $100 million was stripped from International Planned Parenthood thanks to the President's signature, which will save countless lives from abortions.

Planned Parenthood Abortion Clinic Stops Doing Abortions, Can't Find Anyone to Kill Babies.  It appears that Planned Parenthood's planned expansion of abortion services to include five Missouri communities has not only failed to materialize, but one of their expansion facilities has now halted abortions after offering them for only about eight months.  "Planned Parenthood's expansion plans have now become a reduction plan," said Operation Rescue President Troy Newman.  Operation Rescue has confirmed a report that the Midtown Heath Center Planned Parenthood in Kansas City, Missouri, which began offering abortion drugs last September, has now halted abortions due to an inability to locate an abortionist for that facility.  There is no anticipated date when abortions might resume.

Here's How To Take Down Planned Parenthood Now That Trump Landed A Punch.  President Trump's administration is bringing back a Reagan-era rule that would pull federal birth control funds from clinics that sell abortion.  Planned Parenthood, which is by far the nation's largest and wealthiest abortion provider, has the most to lose.  It is the largest single recipient of Title X funds, to the tune of about $80 million per year.  The new regulation is a good start.  It is a bigger blow to Planned Parenthood than anything the establishment Republicans have ever done.  But more action is needed to take PP down.

Pulling the subsidy plug on Planned Parenthood.  President Trump's action last week, barring Title X family planning funds from programs and facilities that perform abortions, is thus entirely right and reasonable.  For all Planned Parenthood's gnashing of teeth, the only thing to suffer will be its own profits and the rewards of its senior executives.  The public good and women's health will, at a minimum, remain completely unaffected and, depending on your perspective, will be improved.

Trump Admin Announces New Rule That May Defund Planned Parenthood.  The Trump Administration filed a new regulation Friday that aims to create a "bright line" between abortion clinics and taxpayers' money.  The new rule, if approved by the Office of Management and Budget, will regulate recipients of federal funds under Title X, requiring them to physically and financially separate themselves from any organization that provides or supports abortion.  Title X is the federal statute that provides funding for family planning services throughout the nation.  First established in 1970 to organize federal family planning grants, the Title X program has expanded continuously alongside American families.  As of 2010, it accounted for about 10 percent of the $2.37 billion dollars spent on family planning services that year.

Why Does Planned Parenthood Hate Adoption?  Planned Parenthood has long insisted that its mission is to "educate and empower communities, provide quality health care, [and] lead the reproductive rights movement," decrying its reputation decrying its reputation as first and foremost the largest abortion provider in the country.  The organization even professes disinterest in clients' ultimate choices regarding pregnancy (parenting, abortion, or adoption, presented in that order) saying rather that it simply provides education and information on the various options.  Planned Parenthood's own numbers, however, show that it performs more than 82 abortions for every every adoption referral.  The reality is that adoption is clearly given short shrift, not only in the numbers, but in emphasis as well.

Trump expected to cut Planned Parenthood funding through regs.  The Trump administration may take action to cut federal funding to Planned Parenthood as a result of pressure from congressional Republicans and anti-abortion lobbyists.  Opponents of abortion have launched an all-out campaign urging the administration to bring back Reagan-era abortion restrictions on federal family planning dollars that would target Planned Parenthood.

Planned Parenthood astroturfing at Utah college.  Planned Parenthood is recruiting one student at Weber State University to go undercover to launch a "reproductive justice" club on campus.  The "Students for Choice Club President" will be paid to recruit members for a nondescript "pro-choice" club on campus that will actually be under the control and direction of the Planned Parenthood Association of Utah, according to a recent job posting.  Since Weber State does not currently have an active pro-choice club on campus — as school officials confirmed to Campus Reform on Tuesday [5/15/2018] — the new hiree will work up to 20 hours per week to start one, earning an hourly wage of $12.36.  Once launched, the club will operate as a "reproductive justice" advocacy club, with no direct mention of Planned Parenthood, and will execute various informational events to educate the study body about "reproductive rights and healthcare."

Ending Abortion From the Inside Out.  When Abby Johnson quit her job as director of a Texas Planned Parenthood clinic in 2009, she had no intention of becoming a pro-life activist.  Then Planned Parenthood tried to get a judge to slap a permanent gag order on her. [...] Just what is so difficult about quitting a job at an abortion clinic that it requires assistance from outsiders?  Isn't it as simple as handing in your resignation?  "Leaving the abortion industry is not like leaving a restaurant or leaving an insurance agency," maintained Johnson.  "When you decide that you're going to leave the abortion industry, you then become an enemy of the abortion industry....  As soon as you leave, they will turn to deception, they'll turn to lies, they will do anything to discredit you and to give you a bad reputation."

Oops:  Planned Parenthood's Outgoing President Dismembers Own Talking Point.  As Cecile Richards prepares to step down as the head of abortion giant Planned Parenthood this year, she's giving interviews to sympathetic news organizations as part of her ghoulish "farewell tour," including a chat with liberal New York Times columnist Gail Collins.  In that conversation, Richards recalled a meeting she took with Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner early in the Trump presidency, during which the couple proposed that Planned Parenthood stop providing abortions in exchange for more funding for issues like family planning.  Richards rebuffed the offer, naturally, but Collins' description of why the overture was rejected is totally unsurprising yet usefully revealing: [...]

Planned Parenthood Tweets About Motherhood Again.  Oh, the Irony!.  On a day where we celebrate the women who brought us into the world and the beautiful children who have made us part of the club known as motherhood, Planned Parenthood chimes in: [...] There are some things Planned Parenthood should step aside for.

Top Four Obama Policies Trump Has Reversed.  [#2] Planned Parenthood Protections:  In January, the Department of Health and Human Services rescinded Obama-era "legal guidance" that would have punished states for defunding Planned Parenthood, the nation's number one abortion provider and big money donor to Democrats.  The regulations "warned states that ending Medicaid funding for Planned Parenthood or other health-care providers that offer abortions could be against federal law."  Of course, for many pro-life conservatives, while this was a welcome reversion of an Obama regulation, the subsequent omnibus bill that fully funded Planned Parenthood was not so welcome.

Abortions up at Planned Parenthood, despite national downturn:  Study.  New research suggests that Planned Parenthood is bucking the national abortion downturn.  The study, recently published in the Open Journal of Preventive Medicine, found that Planned Parenthood's abortion rate has steadily increased over the last two decades, despite the fact that the overall U.S. abortion rate is in free fall.  James Studnicki, the paper's lead author and the vice president and director of data analytics at the pro-life Charlotte Lozier Institute, said Planned Parenthood has single-handedly inflated the total number of abortions in the U.S. by about 3 million.

Lawmakers call on Trump to cut off Planned Parenthood's Title X funding.  Nearly 200 members of Congress and 100 state and national pro-life groups are calling on the Trump administration to take taxpayers out of the abortion business.  The coalition sent a letter to Health and Human Services Secretary Alex Azar on Monday [4/30/2018] asking him to cut off abortion providers from Title X dollars, which are earmarked for family planning services.

Planned Parenthood sues Trump administration over federal funding.  Three Planned Parenthood affiliates sued Wednesday to demand taxpayer money keep flowing to the country's largest abortion network, saying a new Trump administration policy appears designed to cut them out of family planning money.  Affiliates in Wisconsin, Ohio and Utah said changes announced by Health and Human Services would boost clinics that focus on abstinence rather than providing contraceptives.

Ad Exposing Planned Parenthood Sex Ed for Kids Images Rejected, "Too Shocking".  Last week American Life League tried to run a full page ad in the New York Times and Washington Post that showed images from actual Planned Parenthood sex education materials for kids as young as 10 years old.  Both newspapers rejected the ad as "too graphic" and "shocking" for their adult readers to see.  But the images are okay for kids in the classroom to see — at taxpayer expense.

Liberal Civil War:  Planned Parenthood fights unionization attempt from SEIU.  Planned Parenthood of the Rocky Mountains is fighting a unionization attempt from Service Employees International Union, despite the labor giant's emphatic support for the nation's largest abortion provider.  In November the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB), the agency in charge of union elections and settling workplace disputes, granted SEIU Local 105's petition to hold an election for joining the union at several abortion clinics in Colorado.  Planned Parenthood objected to the organization campaign and appealed to the Republican-controlled board.  It disputed the fact that SEIU was attempting to organize a micro-unit and improperly excluded Planned Parenthood of the Rocky Mountains (PPRM) clinics in Nevada and New Mexico in an effort to tilt the scales of the vote.

Planned Parenthood Spending $30 Million on Mid-term Elections.  Planned Parenthood is once again proving its hunger for powerful allies in government positions.  GOP control of the Senate is narrow, and with the upcoming Senate races, the power balance could tip in favor of Democrat, pro-abortion advocates.  Planned Parenthood knows this, of course, and will be pouring a reported $30 million into abortion advocacy through its political arm. [...] It is appalling that an organization that receives taxpayer money from the government is spending $30 million to directly influence state and federal elections.  Planned Parenthood ostensibly follows the law regarding this situation since the money is funneled through the affiliated Planned Parenthood Votes before lining the pockets of politicians.  At any rate, the IRS has never been known to give the abortion provider trouble the likes of how it specifically targeted conservative political activist organizations by withholding tax-exempt status.

Parents Say, 'Enough' to Planned Parenthood's 'Pornographic' Sex Ed.  Parents in cities across the U.S. as well as Canada, Australia, and now, the U.K. are pulling their children out of schools Monday to protest what they view as "pornographic," "gender-bending" sex ed curricula conducted and promoted by taxpayer-funded Planned Parenthood.

Planned Parenthood Allocates $30 Million To Help Dems Take Back Senate.  Just when it appears that Planned Parenthood could not make its way into American society even further, it does.  On Monday, the abortion chain announced that it has allocated an outrageous $30 million towards fighting for women's reproductive rights in at least three states.  While it is not unusual for Planned Parenthood to run campaigns, this one is purely political, as it is an attempt to secure votes for the democratic party which desperately needs to win back Congress to ensure Planned Parenthood receives future federal funding.  This has many wondering how this is possible, as it is clearly unethical.  Planned Parenthood has always been about the money, not saving lives, as it kills an estimated 320,000 babies annually off whose lives it makes a profit from.

Planned Parenthood Exec.  Creepily Obsessed with Parkland Survivor Kyle Kashuv.  Kyle Kashuv is going to prom.  With a girl he doesn't know.  Who lives in another state.  Kashuv is one of the few survivors of the Marjory Stoneman Douglas shooting who publicly supports the Second Amendment. [...] Why, one wonders, would a grown woman, who doesn't know Kashuv or Fidan, weigh in on Fidan's choice of prom date?  Fidan asked Kashuv, not the other way around, and her grand gesture implies her ardent interest in him.  Why would Thorp pass judgment?  The answer is simple:  politics.  That's why.  Thorp doesn't like Kashuv's politics.  But, instead of engaging with him on the issues, she made a personal attack.  It wasn't the first time.

Planned Parenthood's Degenerate 'Comprehensive Sex Education' Lesson Plans.  As is usual for the convergence of leftism in our society, there are many organizations tied to Planned Parenthood and the Human Rights Campaign which try to obfuscate where the information is coming from.  I will show you that they are connected and all are involved in the federally-funded "comprehensive sex education" program that has infected public schools. [...] Planned Parenthood also lists partners of theirs in the comprehensive sex education programs including but not limited to: the Sexuality Information and Education Council of the United State (SIECUS), Gay Lesbian and Straight Education Network, Future of Sex Education, The Guttmacher Institute, ETR Associates, Bedsider, Rutgers University, Advocates for Youth, and many more.  They are all far-left, pro-abortion, pro-gay, pro-transgender organizations.  Not one of them deviates from the relentless push to normalize promiscuous and deviant sexual behavior.

Trump Admin Defunding Planned Parenthood, Will Cut as Much as $60 Million.  Congressional Democrats are in a panic over Title X, the federal government's family planning program.  That's because even though the recent omnibus spending bill once again allotted $286.479 million to fund the program, Republicans in Congress held the line on ensuring the Department of Health and Human Services has flexibility to change regulations governing how it is spent.  Control of these taxpayer dollars will be in the hands of Valerie Huber, the deputy assistant secretary for population affairs at HHS.

Sorry, Planned Parenthood, your radical pro-abortion culture war is failing.  Outgoing Planned Parenthood President and CEO Cecile Richards just published a book detailing her lifetime of pro-choice activism.  The book, as expected, is essentially Richards' stump speech in defense of her radical positions on abortion.  But Richards makes one claim in the book that is worth examining.  In the book, titled "Make Trouble," Richards writes that as pro-choice activists "fight for abortion access in America every day," they're also "transforming the culture" so they can "quit apologizing for abortion."

Planned Parenthood President Promotes Adoption Over Death — For Dogs.  Don't let a dog be put to death, adopt it, the president of the nation's largest abortion provider suggested Tuesday [4/3/2018].  Planned Parenthood President Cecile Richards made the pitch on Twitter, employing the #AdoptDontShop hashtag advocating dog adoption over pet store purchases.  Adopting (or, "rescuing" a dog from a shelter) would save its life.  Ironically, Planned Parenthood performs 113 abortions for every adoption referral it provides, NewsBusters reports.  Under Richards' leadership, Planned Parenthood has snuffed out the lives of more than 3.5 million unborn humans in 12 years, The New American reports.

Planned Parenthood Wisconsin Fined for Failing to Report Clinton, Feingold Support.  Planned Parenthood Advocates of Wisconsin has been fined by the Federal Election Commission (FEC) for failing to report in a timely and accurate fashion $116,898 in independent expenditures spent in support of Democratic candidates Hillary Clinton and Russ Feingold during the 2016 elections, according to a settlement released by the commission.  Planned Parenthood Advocates of Wisconsin's failures to disclose its expenditures were discovered after discrepancies were found in the group's October 2016 quarterly report.  The group had marked $133,305.04 worth of independent expenditures on that report, which covered its finances from July 1 to September 30, 2016.  However, $116,898.08 of the $133,305.04 worth of expenditures the group showed in the filing was never submitted in any previous 48-hour reports, a requirement for money put towards independent expenditures.

Here's How Trump Can Defund Planned Parenthood.  Democrats don't hold a majority in the U.S. Senate, but the GOP doesn't have a supermajority of 60 votes, which explains why the granting of $500 million in taxpayer money to the abortionists at Planned Parenthood slipped into the $1.3 trillion omnibus spending bill.  But what if there were ways to nibble away at that total, maybe even significantly?  The Family Research Council has outlined a strategy for President Trump to defund Planned Parenthood.

Planned Parenthood Abortion Doc:  We Shoot Babies Through the Heart With Poison to Kill Them.  The new Center for Medical Progress video shows a conversation between two undercover journalists and an abortion practitioner, Dr. DeShawn Taylor.  Dr. Taylor is the former medical director for Planned Parenthood Arizona.  Here are the most important points to note from this video.  #1: Dr. Taylor strongly implies that she will kill a born infant that survives an abortion if she thinks she can get away with it

Funding the Planned Parenthood Chop Shop.  Irony has been redefined in the omnibus budget bill, where there is funding for both fighting opioid addiction and Planned Parenthood, meaning the government is simultaneously paying for the saving and destruction of human life.  Defunding Planned Parenthood is something more than a campaign promise.  Life is supposed to be the first unalienable right conferred on us by our Creator.  Liberals are also supposed to be in favor of "safe spaces."  One would think the womb should be the safest space of all.  It is not so considered on K Street.

GOP's Spending Bill Fully Funds Planned Parenthood.  Despite the promises of President Donald Trump, Vice President Mike Pence, and GOP leaders such as House Speaker Paul Ryan (R-Wisc.) that they want to defund Planned Parenthood, the $1.3-trillion omnibus spending bill pushed through on Wednesday night [3/21/2018] by the Republican-controlled House does not defund the abortion provider.  Rep. Tom Garrett (R-Va.) reportedly is planning to introduce an amendment to the bill that would defund Planned Parenthood, reported The Hill.  However, Rep. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio), a member of the conservative House Freedom Caucus, told The Hill this amendment and several others have "zero percent" chance of passing out of the House Rules Committee.  The latest annual report of Planned Parenthood, for 2016-17, shows that it performed 321,384 abortions in its fiscal year that ended Sept. 30, 2016.

Nebraska Budget Would Defund Planned Parenthood Abortion Businesses.  Nebraska lawmakers are scheduled to debate a new budget this week that would defund abortion groups of taxpayer dollars.  The measure is part of pro-life Gov. Pete Ricketts' proposed budget, revising the way Title X funds are distributed to disqualify Planned Parenthood and other groups that provide abortions.  The funding bill passed the Senate Appropriations Committee last week, and the full Senate is expected to begin debating the bill Tuesday [3/13/2018], the Omaha World-Herald reports.  Ricketts said the bill only stops abortion providers from receiving taxpayer funds through Title X; any other group can qualify.

Judges on "Top Chef" Finale Wear Lapel Pins Supporting Planned Parenthood Abortion Biz.  People often derive their worldview and news information from television celebrities.  That is why celebrities have a unique opportunity to use their platform to impact millions of Americans.  Perhaps "Top Chef" judges Tom Colicchio, Gail Simmons, Graham Elliot and Jonathan Waxman understood that when they proudly wore Planned Parenthood pins on the cooking show for 3.02 million viewers to see.  Each of the judges is a high profile, celebrity chef with restaurants in major cities, best-selling cookbooks or regular appearances on TV.

If The NRA Is A Terrorist Organization (It's Not), Then Planned Parenthood Is Something Far, Far Worse.  At this time, Planned Parenthood's kill count is over 7 million since its founding.  That's more than the Vietnam War, the American Civil War, the Korean War, and the Iraq war ... COMBINED.  Furthermore, the death of innocent life is one of their guiding principles, only they call it anything but what it is, using terms like "reproductive justice," and oddly "women's health."  Planned Parenthood is often involved in the drafting of legislation, all of which is geared toward allowing it to take life.

Delayed sirens:  Woman quietly rushed to hospital from Planned Parenthood.  An African-American woman was transported by ambulance from the Margaret Sanger Center Planned Parenthood abortion facility on February 15, 2018.  This is the tenth medical emergency documented by Operation Rescue with the help of local pro-life activists at this facility since January 2017.

Planned Parenthood Attacks Trump's Judicial Nominee For Being White.  On Tuesday, Planned Parenthood, referring to a judicial nominee of President Trump, attacked him for being white.  The tweet referred to nominee Kyle Duncan, whom Trump nominated for the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals. [...] Notably, Duncan represented Hobby Lobby at the U.S. Supreme Court when the Obama administration targeted the Christian company for being unwilling to cover employees for drugs that could cause abortions.

Planned Parenthood pushing pro-choice legislation in over 12 states.  Planned Parenthood is launching a counterattack in response to significant pro-life gains on the state and federal levels.  The organization will push legislation to expand access to abortion in more than a dozen states this week and hopes to have initiatives in all 50 states by the end of the year.

In Budget Deal, GOP and Trump Fully Fund Planned Parenthood.  Despite promising to defund Planned Parenthood, President Donald Trump signed a budget Friday, which was passed by the Republican-led Congress, that fully funds the nation's largest abortion provider.  In a letter to pro-lifers during the election, Trump and Vice President Mike Pence said "I am committed to ... Defunding Planned Parenthood as long as they continue to perform abortions, and reallocating their funding to community health centers that provide comprehensive health care for women.  While the budget provides more funding for community health centers, it also fully funds Planned Parenthood.

A Trump Policy Just Knocked $30 Million Right Out Of Planned Parenthood's Hand.  Planned Parenthood takes half a billion in taxpayer cash annually, but at least they've recently taken a multi-million dollar hit that they'll really feel.  According to LifeNews, Planned Parenthood failed to comply with a Trump initiated policy that blocks foreign groups from promoting or performing abortions overseas.

New Jersey Senate Forces Taxpayers to Give $7.5 Million to Planned Parenthood Abortion Biz.  New Jersey residents could be forced to give their hard-earned tax dollars to the nation's largest abortion chain for the first time in eight years.  The state Senate passed legislation Thursday to send $7.5 million to Planned Parenthood and other groups that do abortions in the state, NorthJersey.com reports.  The legislation now moves to the state Assembly.  Pro-abortion Gov. Phil Murphy promised to sign it.  The bill would reverse decisions by former Gov. Chris Christie to block $7.5 million tax dollars to Planned Parenthood, the nation's largest abortion business.

Planned Parenthood President Calls for America's Government to Change to 'Representative Democracy'.  Departing Planned Parenthood president Cecile Richards is calling for America's government to change to a "representative democracy." [...] Speaking at a "State of Our Union" event Tuesday in Washington, DC — scheduled to coincide with President Donald Trump's State of the Union address — Richards said, "If the government won't change, we will change the government."  Richards says the government must provide for women who want abortions and free birth control, as well as for illegal immigrants, LGBT individuals, and Black Lives Matter supporters.

6 reasons why the Senate vote on abortion was a sham.  How is it that Republicans could possibly be serious about banning abortion, at any point in pregnancy, by law when they are still choosing to fund private organizations under criminal investigation for harvesting baby organs in their own budget proposals?  It's amazing how granting amnesty for illegals has now become a legitimate request in a budget bill from a minority party, but defunding Planned Parenthood is not even up for discussion by the majority party.  Any stand-alone legislation that will not get around the filibuster is meaningless when Republicans are still using taxpayer dollars for this barbaric organization.

Cecile Richards Confirms She's Resigning as CEO of Planned Parenthood Abortion Business.  In a new email today [1/26/2018] to donors of the Planned Parenthood abortion business, Planned Parenthood CEO Cecile Richards confirms that she is indeed resigning.  News reports surfaced earlier this week from anonymous sources indicating that Richards would be stepping down as a leader of the nation's biggest abortion company.  Under her administration, Planned Parenthood killed as many as 3.8 million unborn children in abortions.  Since the announcement, speculation has run rampant as to why Richards is stepping down.  Many pro-life leaders believe it has to do with the impending FBI investigation into Planned Parenthood's sale of aborted baby parts that potentially violates both federal and state laws.

Cecile Richards to Exit Planned Parenthood as FBI Closes In.  Planned Parenthood hasn't been doing too hot lately.  They're finally on the receiving end of hurt, suffering multiple closures, lack of funding, and a DOJ investigation.  The latest blow to land across the face of PP's bloated gut?  Their CEO, Cecile Richards, is stepping down from the company.

Awkward: Cecile Richards calls on white women to 'save this country', trips over Margaret Sanger.  Considering Planned Parenthood was founded by Margaret Sanger, who has been quoted as referring to minorities as weeds and 'reckless breeders,' we're not sure how bright it was for Cecile Richards to call on her fellow white women to save this country.  We get what she was trying to do here but it just doesn't work.

Planned Parenthood's Cecile Richards:  White Women, This is Your Fault.  It's 2018 and feminism has taken on a new meaning: blaming white women for not doing what they're told. [...] This displays just how far the left has gone in on identify politics.  Their priority is dividing people into groups and playing them against one another.

When will the GOP care about 60 million murdered babies as much as Dems care about illegal aliens?  Today is the annual marking of the grim milestone of Roe v. Wade.  The annual March for Life, although well intentioned, is the day every Republican politician can freely feign outrage over a decision that led to the deaths of 60 million babies while refusing to use the constitutional tools they have to rectify this evil.  Particularly jarring about this year's march is that it coincides with complete GOP control of Washington, and nobody paying the slightest attention to the power they hold to rectify the abortion travesty.  In fact, it appears that virtue-signaling about babies has become an end to itself rather than ensuring their brains don't actually get sucked out with taxpayer funds.  Meanwhile, there's a thing or two conservatives can learn from Democrats.  It's eerie watching the March for Life as we are in the midst of a budget battle in which funding for Planned Parenthood is not even up for debate — with Republicans in full control.  The publication of the videos two years ago showing Planned Parenthood engaged in trafficking and harvesting of baby organs was a watershed moment in the 45-year debate over Roe because it proved conclusively that abortion was not about being a "safe, rare, and legal" necessary evil, but rather a triumph of barbarism as a virtue in itself.

5 Things to Know About Fusion GPS's Sordid Past.  [#2] Planned Parenthood sting videos:  In 2015, when the Center for Medical Progress (CMP) released sting videos showing Planned Parenthood staffers agreeing to sell the body parts of aborted babies for profit, the nation's largest abortion provider called in Fusion GPS to help out.  The firm compiled a misleading report suggesting the videos were false.  In the wake of the scandal, Planned Parenthood produced a "forensic report" claiming to prove the videos were manipulations.  The abortion provider denied that staffers would sell body parts, suggesting the sting videos were compiled of selectively edited clips that twisted the staffers' statements out of context.  Who wrote the report?  Fusion GPS.

Here's Planned Parenthood's Business Model, According to Cecile Richards.  Planned Parenthood President Cecile Richards explained how the abortion giant's business model works in a Monday interview, unveiling the various ways the company seeks to further its business activities.  Richards encouraged pro-abortion civilians to come up with and act on their own creative ideas.  She referred to the numerous Planned Parenthood products on Etsy like T-shirts, candles, buttons, and hats that advertise the abortion organization's activities. [...] Richards also touted the abortion organization's text-chat service, which allows young pregnant girls in distress to text Planned Parenthood in order to ask for advice regarding their situation.

Planned Parenthood Sells Hormone Poisoning, Genital Mutilation with Dangerous Lies.  Planned Parenthood is cornering the artificial resexuation market by lying to young people, many of whom are mentally disordered, about the facts of sex and sexuality, and by selling unsound medical treatment to them.  Artificial resexuation, mislabeled "gender transition," is a logical next step for PP's business model.  It is offered in about sixty "clinics."  Planned parenthood has always been in the anti-medical care business.  Abortion on demand is the opposite of medical treatment.  It causes a medical catastrophe — the loss of a healthy fetus from a healthy womb — due to psychological motives.  Artificial resexuation through manipulation with animal and synthetic hormones and surgeries is also the opposite of medical care.  It is the imposition of endocrinological disorder and physical malformation on a healthy body, also for psychological motives.

Will Trump and the GOP ever defund Planned Parenthood?  Despite claims that 2017 was a "tough year," Planned Parenthood still managed to have a very profitable year according to a just-released annual report.  After murdering 321,384 unborn babies still in their mother's womb at their so-called clinics — occasionally selling their body parts on the black market — and receiving nearly $544 million in taxpayer-funded subsidies, Planned Parenthood was able to report an increase in its profits of nearly $21 million despite shutting down 32 centers last year.  According to Abby Johnson, a former Planned Parenthood manager who currently runs an organization designed to help abortion workers get out of the baby-killing business, the report proves what we already knew:  Planned Parenthood is a political movement, not a women's healthcare organization.

Planned Parenthood's Annual Report: 321,384 Abortions Performed by Organization in 2016-2017.  The abortion and contraception giant Planned Parenthood has released its annual report, which shows that while the number of abortions it performed last year are the lowest in a decade, still over 321,000 babies were murdered in their mother's womb during the 2016-2017 fiscal year.  "As we enter our 101st year, providing access to expert health care and education remains at the center of what we do.  We continue to drive innovations in health care delivery by leveraging new technology to get patients the care and information they need to live healthy lives and build the futures they want," the organization wrote in its report, which outlines the services provided over the past year, most centering on sexual activity.

Planned Parenthood enters transgender-hormone market as abortions decline, clinics close.  As dozens of its clinics closed amid a dwindling U.S. abortion rate, Planned Parenthood has moved to diversify its business model by getting into transgender hormone therapy.  The 2016-17 Planned Parenthood annual report showed the nation's largest abortion provider struggling to keep its doors open as fewer women undergo abortions and patients seek health care services elsewhere.  In response, "We're expanding access to care — from pioneering research on self-injectable birth control to offering new services for our transgender patients," Planned Parenthood President Cecile Richards said in the report's introductory message.

Planned Parenthood:  We Did 321,384 Abortions; Got $543.7 Million in Tax Dollars.  Planned Parenthood says its affiliates did 321,384 abortions in the fiscal year that ended on Sept. 30, 2016, according to its newly released 2016-2017 annual report.  In the same report, Planned Parenthood says its affiliates received $543.7 million in payments from government — "Government Health Services Reimbursements & Grants," the report calls them — in the year that ended on June 30, 2017.

Planned Parenthood Now Has Pro-Abortion License Plates.  Abortion conglomerate Planned Parenthood has moved beyond the bumper sticker trade and into the license plate trade.  According to LifeNews, a new license plate unveiled in Nebraska comes with progressive feminists' favorite slogan:  "My body, my choice."  "The new abortion-supporting license plates will cost an additional $70 for drivers," reports LN.  "It appears Planned Parenthood has enough applications to support the plate and it told state officials that 263 Nebraska drivers [want] to promote abortion on their vehicles."

How Twitter protects Planned Parenthood from the truth.  "Offensive."  "Inappropriate."  Even "fake news."  Increasingly, media outlets and pro-choice politicians are labeling pro-life groups with these derogatory terms and openly calling on social media outlets to censor pro-life voices, especially those with increasingly large online followings.  They cite how "dangerous" it is that our message is reaching millions of people each day.  This past summer, for example, the Washington Examiner reported that social media giant Twitter prevented Live Action from advertising to build our audience while allowing abortion groups like Planned Parenthood and others free rein to reach out to virtually anyone.  Twitter defended its actions, calling our content "inflammatory."  But what did it deem so offensive?  A picture of a child developing in the womb and ultrasound images like the ones expectant parents hang on refrigerators.

Franken Replacement in Senate Is Former MN Planned Parenthood VP.  The woman replacing Al Franken, the Democrat U.S. senator from Minnesota who is being forced to step down in the face of allegations of past sexual misconduct, is a former vice president with the Minnesota franchise of abortion giant Planned Parenthood.  Now Minnesota's lieutenant governor serving under Governor Mark Dayton, Tina Smith (shown) first showed up in Minneapolis in the 1980s, working for General Mills.  In 2003 she signed on with Planned Parenthood of Minnesota, North Dakota, and South Dakota as the abortion provider's vice president for public affairs — in reality serving as a high-paid lobbyist canvassing legislators and other government functionaries for taxpayer handouts.  As reported by pro-life news site LifeNews.com, during Smith's tenure with Planned Parenthood MN from 2003 to 2006, the abortion provider was responsible for 9,717 of the murderous procedures, and was reimbursed nearly $460,000 by Minnesota taxpayers for performing almost 2,000 abortions on low-income mothers.  During that time Planed Parenthood took the lead in abortion procedures in the state and raked in a whopping $12.65 million in government funding.

Dear Democrats:  Does Trump do anything that's not racist?  [Scroll down]  John Lewis and others always complain that blacks are imprisoned and blacks are killed at a much higher rate than their percentage of the population, but somehow they don't complain when Planned Parenthood aborts black babies at such a high percentage versus the population.  Why don't Civil Rights leaders complain, especially since the founder of Planned Parenthood, Margaret Sanger, wanted eugenics to build a cleaner race?

Planned Parenthood Challenges Texas Law Requiring Proper Burial for Aborted Babies.  The abortion chain Planned Parenthood will argue against a Texas law Monday [12/11/2017] that requires its abortion facilities to bury or cremate aborted babies' remains.  The law, which passed in June, helps to ensure that aborted babies' bodies are not sold and are treated with dignity and respect.  It requires that abortion facilities, hospitals and other health clinics to bury or cremate the remains of aborted and miscarried babies.  Planned Parenthood and other abortion advocacy groups lobbied against the bill, but the legislature passed it with strong support.  Abortion activists have not given up the fight.

Planned Parenthood probe pursued.  A top Democrat is hinting that the Justice Department's investigation into Planned Parenthood is politically motivated, but a pro-life advocate said those claims would not stop the feds from pursuing their investigation.  The DOJ is asking for unredacted documents from the Senate Judiciary Committee's probe into accusations that Planned Parenthood violated federal laws regarding the sale of fetal tissue and body parts of aborted fetuses.  Last year, Judiciary Committee Chairman U.S. Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) referred the report to the Justice Department.  But U.S. Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.), the committee's ranking member, downplayed the report — saying it was never brought before the full committee — and implied the DOJ investigation was biased.

Two Companies That Sold Aborted Baby Parts for Planned Parenthood Forced to Close Down.  In what is the first successful prosecution in the scandal involving Planned Parenthood, the abortion industry, and the sale of aborted baby parts, two companies that sold aborted baby parts for the nation's biggest abortion company have been forced to close down.  The two California-based companies reached a settlement with the Orange County District Attorney's office of almost $8 million dollars.  As a result of the settlement the two companies will close up shop over the next couple of months and will no longer be selling parts from babies killed in abortions for Planned Parenthood or anyone else.

Planned Parenthood Gave Politicians More Funds in Single Year Than NRA Did in Entire Decade.  The Federalist co-founder Sean Davis made a Washington Post article playing up the NRA's donations to members of Congress look pretty silly with one simple tweet in early October.  The Post's story detailed where roughly $3.6 million in NRA political donations have gone in the past few decades.  However, Davis pointed out that Planned Parenthood's political donations from last year alone absolutely dwarf that number.

Planned Parenthood Attempts To Convince People That Abortions And Miscarriages Are The Same.  Abortion Goliath Planned Parenthood just attempted to link the horror and sorrow of a miscarriage with the choice of killing an unborn child.  Planned Parenthood tweeted out an article written by Danielle Campoamor titled "I'm Miscarrying Right Now, & It's Only Strengthening My Beliefs About Abortion" from Romper, a site that bills itself as a site for moms.  Campoamor claims within the article — of which she includes an ample amount of selfies for some reason — that women who abort are no different than the women who lose their children through miscarriage.

Trump Justice Dept. opens formal probe of Planned Parenthood.  In a rare confirmation of a new investigation, the Justice Department has asked the Senate Judiciary Committee for its uncensored documents relating to last year's congressional probe into Planned Parenthood's practices and sale of fetal body tissues.  A year ago at the time of the committee's final report — Human Fetal Tissue Research:  Context and Controversy — chairman Chuck Grassley said he had found sufficient evidence of abortion providers transferring body parts and tissue from aborted fetuses for research and charging more than the cost of acquiring the material.

Planned Parenthood under investigation by Justice Department over sale of fetal tissue.  The Justice Department has launched a federal investigation into Planned Parenthood's practices and the sale of fetal tissue.  In a letter first obtained by Fox News, Justice Department Assistant Attorney General for Legislative Affairs Stephen Boyd formally requested unredacted documents from the Senate Judiciary Committee, the same panel that led the congressional probe into the women's health organization.

Planned Parenthood Is in Deep Trouble With the Law.  We are living through a remarkable time in history.  Almost daily, those in influential positions who once appeared untouchable are falling out of popular favor as their abuses are exposed.  Just last week, one particularly corrupt institution was dealt back-to-back blows:  Planned Parenthood, the nation's largest abortion business.  On Nov. 13, The Hill reported that the FBI may be investigating Planned Parenthood and its associates for the sale of aborted babies' body parts for profit.  It's the latest development yet in a scandal that began in 2015 with the release of explosive undercover videos.  Those videos showed abortion industry executives haggling over the price of hearts, livers, brains, and kidneys and describing, in chilling detail, their techniques for crushing late-term babies to get the freshest organs.

Planned Parenthood May Face Charges for the Disgusting Thing They Did to Baby Body Parts.  This came after the FBI requested unredacted documents Monday that the Senate obtained from abortion providers.  Sessions seemed amenable to the question, stating that if the findings of Congress confirmed the allegations, they "could provide a basis for charges."  "If the FBI has requested what is now several thousand pages of testimony and findings the Senate has gathered through their investigation of Planned Parenthood," Franks stated, "that may mean that they could be readying indictments against individuals who have committed the sale of these little body parts for profit."

Broadway Stars Honor Hillary Clinton At Planned Parenthood Fundraiser.  Broadway stars were proud to host failed presidential candidate Hillary Clinton on Sunday night for "an evening that was all about women, by women, and for women," according to InStyle.  "Tony and Grammy winners packed The Town Hall theater in N.Y.C. for a special concert all about women's empowerment called 'Double Standards,'" reports InStyle. [...] The Broadway stars clearly did not second-guess the prospect of honoring Hillary Clinton as some beacon of women's rights while multiple allegations suggest she aided her husband in silencing several of his sexual assault victims throughout the years.  Stars in attendance said the goal of the concert was to get people talking about women's rights.

Planned Parenthood Pursues Black Women: 'Safer To Have An Abortion' Than To Give Birth.  On Tuesday [10/31/2017], Planned Parenthood issued a tweet championing black women having abortions, stating that it was statistically safer to have an abortion than to carry the baby through to term or bear the child.

Planned Parenthood Whistleblowers Release First Of New Video Series Inside Baby Body Part Business Partner.  David Daleiden and his controversial Center for Medical Progress released the first in yet another series of revealing videos about the abortion industry today.  This time, it takes a new angle:  How did Planned Parenthood procure baby body parts?  Who worked with Planned Parenthood to procure these parts, and why?  "First Day at StemExpress Inside Planned Parenthood" shows a conversation between Daleiden and Holly O'Donnell, a former StemExpress employee, recounting her first day on the job, which included examining aborted baby parts.  StemExpress is a biomedical company that installed employees at Planned Parenthood clinics and paid per specimen for human parts obtained there.

Planned Parenthood At 101 Years: 7 Million Abortions And Counting.  Planned Parenthood celebrated its 101st birthday Monday, marking the century-long operation of what started as a small birth control clinic in Brooklyn and is now an abortion giant operating in every U.S. state.  "The most merciful thing that the large family does to one of its infant members is to kill it," Planned Parenthood founder Margaret Sanger wrote in her 1920 book "The Wickedness of Creating Large Families," and her corporation has not let her down. [...] While Planned Parenthood aborted more than 300,000 unborn babies last year, they handed out only 2,889 adoption referrals — roughly one adoption referral for every 114 abortions.

A Friend of Planned Parenthood Founder Margaret Sanger Ran a Concentration Camp Killing Blacks.  For the past 100 years, Planned Parenthood has centered its work around one hugely flawed, unspoken belief that not all human beings are equal.  It began with the group's founder, Margaret Sanger, a eugenicist who promoted sterilization and birth control to "weed out" human beings who the eugenics movement deemed "unfit."  Today, Planned Parenthood is the largest abortion provider in the U.S., killing approximately 320,000 unborn human lives every year.  As Planned Parenthood celebrates its 100th birthday on Sunday [10/15/2017], pro-lifers are responding with reminders about the abortion chain's roots in discrimination.

Planned Parenthood Blasts Trump for Rolling Back Obamacare Abortion Mandate:  He Just Hates Women.  The Planned Parenthood abortion business today [10/6/2017] is upset that President Donald Trump is rolling back the Obamacare abortion mandate.  The Mandate was one of the biggest goodies the abortion company got from the Obama administration.  In a scathing email sent to her pro-abortion group's supporters, Planned Parenthood president Cecile Richards claimed that the Trump Administration decision hurts women.  Her conclusion?  Trump just hates women.  Naturally her email failed to discuss how Christian businesses and organizations were forced into the Obamacare abortion mandate to pay for abortion-causing drugs for their employees.  Her email fails to indicate how those Christian businesses and organizations were perfectly willing to pay for non abortifacient birth control but simply did not want to be put in a position of funding abortions.

Planned Parenthood Files Lawsuit to Allow Nurses and Midwives to Do Abortions.  Struggling to find enough doctors willing to abort unborn babies, Planned Parenthood is pushing states to allow nurses and midwives to abort unborn babies, too.  While Planned Parenthood has succeeded legislatively in only a few states, it recently filed a lawsuit in Maine that it hopes will eventually force the whole nation to conform to its abortion agenda.  The Portland Press Herald reports Planned Parenthood of Northern New England and the American Civil Liberties Union filed a lawsuit challenging a Maine law that requires that abortions be performed by doctors only.

Planned Parenthood Doc Loses License After Doing Abortion on Raped 13-Year-Old, Claims He Didn't Know Her Age.  The Kansas Board of Healing Arts has suspended the osteopathic medicine license of Allen S. Palmer, 78, for 90 days.  The suspension is due to be completed on December 7, 2017.  Palmer was working part time for Comprehensive Health of Planned Parenthood in Overland Park, Kansas, on December 22, 2014, when a 13-year old girl presented for a surgical abortion.  Palmer failed to check her medical records for age prior to the surgery, then failed to preserve fetal tissue from the abortion, which, by law, is supposed to be submitted to the Kansas Bureau of Investigation in the event a criminal investigation is warranted.

Planned Parenthood:  One Million Abortions Globally in 2016.  According to its annual report, the London-based International Planned Parenthood Federation (IPPF) was responsible for more than one million abortions during 2016.  IPPF's annual accounting for 2016 noted that its affiliates killed 612,966 pre-born babies via surgical abortion and 481,713 through chemical abortion — for a total of 1,094,679 killings.  This is the first time the organization has conceded to over one million abortions in a one-year time period.  Additionally, IPPF performed over 3.6 million abortion-related activities such as pre- and post-abortion counseling and consultation, and the treatment of incomplete abortions.  Founded in 1952 through the influence and funding of Margaret Sanger and her International Committee on Planned Parenthood, the IPPF today maintains 142 member associations across the globe and is active in more than 170 countries, both performing and lobbying for abortion and "sexual and reproductive rights."

Planned Parenthood Teams With Literal Satanists To Promote Abortion.  Some matches are made in heaven, and some matches are made in hell.  Planned Parenthood teaming with literal satanists in Missouri to promote the death cult of abortion represents the latter.  Though Missouri has long been at the forefront of rolling back abortion, knocking the institution down to just one clinic in recent years, a new article in Slate announced (quite proudly, mind you) that satanists in concert with abortion conglomerate Planned Parenthood have helped to roll that back.

More Women are Getting Healthcare Now That Texas Has Defunded Planned Parenthood.  After Texas defunded Planned Parenthood in 2011, The Heidi Group, led by long time pro-life activist Carol Everett, planned to establish a network of pro-life medical clinics in the Lone Star State.  However, last week, the Texas Health and Human Services Commission announced substantial funding cuts to the Heidi Group — citing a failure to serve as many patients as anticipated.  Unsurprisingly, the mainstream media, eager to report on bad public health news from Texas, pounced on the announcement. [...] It is disappointing that Carol Everett's idea to organize a network of pro-life medical facilities failed to go as planned.  However, by focusing on Everett's program and relying on dated statistics, the media coverage, particularly the Politico article, paints a misleading picture about the state of public health in Texas.

8th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals rules against Planned Parenthood.  Planned Parenthood had been on a legal winning streak, piling up decisions from judges who have ruled that states can't stop the country's largest abortion clinic network from receiving federal grant money.  But they suffered a major setback last week when a federal appeals court ruled that Arkansas can kick Planned Parenthood out of its network of Medicaid-approved health providers.  The 8th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that Medicaid recipients are entitled to care, but cannot dictate to the states where they get that care — meaning Planned Parenthood customers can't protest the removal of the network from Arkansas's list of approved clinics.

Arkansas Can Block Medicaid Funding to Planned Parenthood, Court Rules.  A federal appeals court panel ruled Wednesday [8/16/2017] that Arkansas can block Medicaid funding to Planned Parenthood, two years after the state ended its contract with the group over videos secretly recorded by an anti-abortion group.

What Does Planned Parenthood Do, Exactly, That Deserves Federal Funding?  Planned Parenthood is raking in the bucks.  For real.  They make a ton of money.  Yet they get over $500 million from the federal government every year... for what? [...] Whenever Planned Parenthood is in the press they opine endlessly about the good they do for women.  It's all about the women and the services they offer, as if the services are free.

Director Reveals Sick Humor of Abortion Workers.  Former Planned Parenthood director-turned-pro-life activist Abby Johnson appeared on Tucker Carlson Tonight this week, where she shared some disturbing stories about her time working for the abortion giant.  "When you're working inside of an industry like that, you become very dark and you stop seeing just the heinous acts that you're participating in," Johnson told Carlson.  But it's the next thing she said will make your skin crawl. [...]

Out of 8,735 Licensed Mammogram Facilities in the United States, Planned Parenthood Runs Zero.  Planned Parenthood still claims they provide access to life-saving mammograms.  In 2012, they issued a press release that read, "Planned Parenthood helps women nationwide get access to mammograms, as part of the range of health care Planned Parenthood health centers provide to nearly three million people a year."  Obama echoed their rhetoric during his second presidential campaign.  He said, "There are millions of women all across the country who rely on Planned Parenthood for mammograms, for cervical cancer screenings."  Then, earlier this week, the Secretary of Obama's Health and Human Services department defended federal funding for the abortion giant by mentioning mammograms.  Sylvia Mathews Burwell said, "What I think is important is that our HHS funding is focused on issues of preventative care for women, things like mammograms."

Planned Parenthood to spend $3M to elect Ralph Northam.  Planned Parenthood claims that they need our tax dollars to fund women's health procedures.  Instead, the supposed non-partisan organization is once again pandering to the Democratic Party to protect their murder of the unborn.  Planned Parenthood Advocates of Virginia plans on spending $3 million in an attempt to help Democratic Gubernatorial candidate Ralph Northam win in Virginia.

When Planned Parenthood Admitted That Abortion Was Dangerous for Women.  In an undated pamphlet, the abortion giant Planned Parenthood answered questions about birth control, the first one being:  Is it an abortion?  "No, it is entirely different.  Abortion kills life after it has begun.  Birth control prevents the beginning of life.  Abortion is dangerous to your life and health.  Birth control, when prescribed by a doctor, cannot hurt you in any way."  Birth control can also be dangerous to your life and health, and in some cases, birth control pills and devices might not prevent the beginning of life.  The egg and sperm could meet, but the fertilized egg won't implant due to the hostile conditions hormone contraceptives create.  The same is as true today about killing unborn babies as when Planned Parenthood published this pamphlet — and for all time.

Planned Parenthood to send superhero capes to senators who voted against healthcare bill.  Planned Parenthood says it's sending superhero capes to the 51 senators who voted against the Senate's ObamaCare repeal bill. [...] The Senate GOP's healthcare bill failed in a 49-51 vote late Thursday night, stifling Republicans' hope of fulfilling their seven-year promise to repeal and replace ObamaCare.  Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) was the deciding vote on the bill, joining GOP Sens. Susan Collins (Maine) and Lisa Murkowski (Alaska) in breaking with their party to oppose the bill.

How Planned Parenthood Goes After the Kids Who Survive Abortion.  The evil inflicted largely on your dime by the abortion mill Planned Parenthood doesn't stop at killing unwanted babies or even at selling their body parts.  There is much more to the agenda it advances [...]

Planned Parenthood to Toddlers: 'Your Genitals Don't Make You a Boy or a Girl'.  Planned Parenthood has long been known for its frank, scientific, and matter-of-fact advice on how parents should talk to their kids about their bodies and sex.  But the organization's recently revamped website has scrapped biological explanations for male-female distinctions in favor of a non-binary view of sexuality and gender, even for the very young.  The new guidelines include lengthy discussions on gender identity for all ages and encourage adults to explain to preschoolers that one's private parts "don't make you a boy or a girl."

Senate Parliamentarian Blocks Defunding Of Planned Parenthood.  On Friday night [7/22/2017], Elizabeth MacDonough, the Senate parliamentarian, made [...] sure that defunding of Planned Parenthood will not be part of the Senate health care bill, citing the Byrd rule to stipulate that the key provisions violated Senate rules. [...] It is now clear the Senate's version of a new health care bill will not defund Planned Parenthood, as it would require 60 votes in the Senate to implement such an action.

Pro-Life Group Slams Republican Opposing Senate Bill to Defund Planned Parenthood.  Senator Shelly Moore Capito is one of three Republicans in the Senate who opposes the Senate bill to defund Planned Parenthood and repeal Obamacare.  She has flip-flopped from suporting the bill to opposing it — but her political calculations are not playing well at home.  The junior senator from West Virginia previously voted to repeal the failing ObamaCare legislation but did so expecting a certain veto from then President Obama.  Now, it appears that Capito may be the deciding vote determining if the funding stays.

Judge Fines David Daleiden $137,000 for Exposing Planned Parenthood Selling Aborted Baby Parts.  Yesterday [7/18/2017] Judge William Orrick held David Daleiden, the Center for Medical Progress, and two of David's criminal defense attorneys in civil contempt for violating a court order prohibiting the release of video footage related to NAF conferences and related meetings.  The footage was posted to a private website in May.  Orrick said Daleiden's lawyers published undercover video footage of a National Abortion Federation meeting in violation of a court order.

Texas triggers plan to 'open the floodgates' for states to defund Planned Parenthood.  With the effort to defund Planned Parenthood stalled at the federal level, Texas is spearheading a plan that could "open the floodgates" for states to strip taxpayer dollars from the abortion giant one by one.  Gov. Greg Abbott, a Republican, sent a first-of-its-kind waiver to the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services on June 28 asking the agency to approve federal funding for a state-administered family planning program that excludes abortion providers and their affiliates from participation.  If the Trump administration approves the request, Texas Right to Life legislative director John Seago said, it could set off a chain reaction of copycat programs in red states across the nation.

The Editor says...
The use of the derisive word copycat instead of, for example, similar appears to me to indicate bias on the part of the writer.

House Republican says health care bill in jeopardy over Planned Parenthood.  Rep. Trent Franks said Wednesday that if Planned Parenthood funding is added to the GOP health care bill, numerous Republican senators will no longer support it.  "I think a lot of us are 'no' votes," the Arizona Republican said.  "We can't continue to subsidize abortion as part of health care.  It's just something that's not American."  Mr. Franks said.  Some GOP senators, including Susan Collins of Maine, have said they were unlikely to support the bill without funds for Planned Parenthood.

Planned Parenthood Doc Caught Saying She'd "Break the Baby's Neck" if Baby Born Alive After Abortion.  Planned Parenthood abortionists in St. Paul, Minnesota would "break the baby's neck" if the child was born alive, according to a new video just released by Pro-Life Action Ministries.  This would be a violation of both federal and Minnesota law.  In the video, a former Planned Parenthood client says that when she went to Planned Parenthood earlier this year for a late-term abortion (at 22 weeks, 1 day), she asked the two abortionists, "If you guys were to take him out right now while he's still, his heart rate is still, you know, going, what would you guys do?"  According to the woman, one of the abortionists looked at the other one, then looked back at the client, "and she told me that we don't tell women this, and a lot of women don't even ask this question, but if we was to proceed with the abortion and the baby was to come out still alive and active, most likely we would break the baby's neck."

The Editor says...
Notice that the doctor calls the victim a baby, acknowledges the victim is alive, and seems to have no qualms about premeditated homicide.  That sounds like a person who has probably already done this deed at least once; and if so, that doctor should be in prison.

CNN's doing yeoman's work for Planned Parenthood here.  "News" story or ad for Planned Parenthood?

Court Dismisses Charges Against Pro-Life Activists, For Now.  Even in famously abortion-friendly California there is justice for abortion foes.  On June 21, the San Francisco County Superior Court threw out 14 of the 15 felony counts that California Attorney General Xavier Becerra had brought against David Daleiden and Sandra Merritt, the anti-abortion activists who had made widely circulated undercover videos of Planned Parenthood officials haggling and joking over the compensation they expected to receive for supplying the organs of fetuses aborted at Planned Parenthood clinics to for-profit "tissue-procurement" companies.

CA Court Tosses Out 14 Charges Against Pro-life Journalist Who Exposed Planned Parenthood's Baby Part Market.  In March, California's Attorney General slapped David Daleiden and Sandra Merritt, with a whopping fifteen felony charges.  Daleiden and Merritt, by way of the Center for Medical Progress (CMP), released several horrifying undercover videos exposing Planned Parenthood officials negotiating the price of aborted baby parts. [...] Wednesday [6/21/2017], San Francisco's Superior Court dismissed the first fourteen charges against Merritt, finding them legally insufficient.

The WNBA, Viewed by 224,000, Raises Funds for Planned Parenthood, Which Aborted 328,348.  On Thursday, June 15, the WNBA team Seattle Storm announced that it would be partnering with Planned Parenthood to hold a fundraising rally and donate $5 for each ticket purchased on July 18 for the Storm's game against the Chicago Sky.  The WNBA's average viewership per game is about 224,000, which is more than 100,000 less than the total number of abortions performed by Planned Parenthood in 2015-16.  According to the organization's most recent annual report, Planned Parenthood performed 328,348 abortions and received $554.6 million in government health services reimbursements and grants, taxpayer money, for the year that ended June 30, 2016.

Planned Parenthood Report : Did 328,348 Abortions, Got $554.6M in Tax Dollars.  Planned Parenthood's newly released "2015-2016 Annual Report" says that the organization performed 328,348 abortions in the year that ended on Sept. 30, 2015, and received $554.6 million in "government health services reimbursements and grants" — money that came from U.S. taxpayers — in the year that on June 30, 2016.  That means Planned Parenthood performed 4,349 more abortions in its latest year reported than it did in the previous year it reported.

YouTube removes latest Planned Parenthood video on judge's order.  YouTube removed a video showing top Planned Parenthood officials making gruesome comments about abortion on the order of a federal judge in California.  U.S. District Judge William Orrick, who granted the preliminary injunction in favor of the National Abortion Federation to halt the release of the videos, ordered any links to the video to be removed after it was published by the Center for Medical Progress on Thursday [5/25/2017].  Judge Orrick also ordered CMP lead investigator David Daleiden and his attorneys to appear in court June 14, The Associated Press reported, for a hearing where he will consider holding them in contempt for releasing the footage.

Obama Donor Judge Threatens Pro-Life Journalists With Contempt Charges For Releasing Video.  A federal judge who donated nearly a quarter of a million dollars to President Obama's campaign has threatened to hold undercover reporter and pro-life activist David Daleiden in contempt of court after his organization released video footage of Planned Parenthood employees admitting that abortion involves killing a baby.  In the video released Thursday, Planned Parenthood Michigan Medical Director Dr. Lisa Harris says that pro-abortion activists know abortion is violent and kills babies, but that shouldn't stop them.

Video Catches Planned Parenthood Abortionist Joking About Eyeballs From Aborted Babies "Rolling Into Our Laps".  A shocking new video from the Center for Medical Progress catches Planned Parenthood executives discussing gruesome abortion procedures and the sale of body parts from aborted babies for profit.  The video shows top Planned Parenthood staffers attending meetings of the National Abortion Federation in 2014 and 2015 and it is the latest in a series of over a dozen videos from the organization showing the Planned Parenthood abortion business and others engaging in potentially illegal sale of body parts of aborted babies.

There's a new PP video.  No words describe the horror.  Each one of these videos is more gruesome than the last either in its graphic content or the admissions of the subjects on camera.  This one is no exception.  As this is listed as "Preview" on CMP's YouTube channel, one only wonders what further horrors the group is waiting to release as time passes.

Planned Parenthood closes clinics but continues to collect $500 million a year in taxpayer funding.  Pro-lifers say declining patient numbers, the promotion of abortion at the expense of health care services and the shuttering of several facilities show that Planned Parenthood's business model is failing and its taxpayer funding could be better spent elsewhere.  The nation's largest abortion provider announced last week that it would close four clinics in Iowa, three in New Mexico, two in Colorado and its last remaining facility in Wyoming, despite continuing to receive more than $500 million in annual taxpayer funding.

Planned Parenthood Set to Close Six Clinics in Three States.  One of the largest regional chapters of Planned Parenthood in the nation plans to close several clinics due to financial shortfalls.  Planned Parenthood of the Rocky Mountains (PPRM) announced that it would close five clinics in Colorado and New Mexico, as well as the only Planned Parenthood clinic in Wyoming.  The organization said in a release that closing the clinics would provide "long-term sustainability in the communities we serve."

Four Planned Parenthood Clinics Set to Close After Iowa Defunds.  Due to state budget cuts, a handful of Planned Parenthood clinics throughout the state of Iowa will be closing mid-summer.  Don't expect a sober reaction to this announcement, though.

Abortion Clinic That Killed Babies in Abortions for 42 Years Closes Down.  An abortion clinic in Sacramento, California closed its doors on Friday, ending its four decades-long abortion practice.  California Catholic Daily reports the Sacramento facility is the second Women's Health Specialists abortion clinic to close in the past year.  Executive director of the abortion chain Shauna Heckert previously pointed to financial issues and a reduced demand for abortions as the reasons.  "We are a dying breed," Heckert told told the news site FiveThirtyEight last year.  California pro-life leaders celebrated the news as a victory for babies and moms in the community.

House Passes Bill to Defund Planned Parenthood Abortion Biz.  House Republicans voted today [5/4/2017] to approve a bill that would defund to Planned Parenthood abortion business.  This was the second attempt to get enough votes on the reconciliation bill that would not only defund the nation's biggest abortion corporation but also repeal major portions of Obamacare.  The first attempt to pass the bill saw liberal Republicans oppose the repealing Obamacare portion and conservative Republicans not happy as well because it did not repeal Obamacare fully.  Republican leaders reworked the legislation, called the American Health Care Act, and Republicans passed the measure today despite Democrat objections.  The House voted 217-212 for the bill to defund Panned Parenthood with Republicans voting 217-20 for it and Democrats voting 192-0 against it.  The legislation now moves to the Senate for consideration.

Hillary Clinton Claims Planned Parenthood Holds Morality's 'Higher Ground'.  Hillary Clinton is convinced that Planned Parenthood holds the "higher ground" when it comes to the morality of abortion, she told a Planned Parenthood gala Tuesday [5/2/2017].  On Tuesday, Clinton headlined the star-studded event in New York celebrating the abortion provider's 100th anniversary, and was honored with the group's "Champion of the Century" award.

Wife of Judge Who Blocked Pro-Life Videos Exposing Planned Parenthood is a Pro-Abortion Activist.  In California, a federal judge blocked the release of additional videos exposing the abortion industry after the National Abortion Federation (NAF) said they were concerned about footage from events it sponsored for abortion groups across the country.  Last month, four videos released by the Center for Medical Progress showed Planned Parenthood executives negotiating the sale of babies killed in abortions.  As LifeNews previously reported, NAF filed a suit in federal court "seeking a temporary restraining order and preliminary injunction which would prohibit the Center for Medical Progress (CMP), David Daleiden, and others from releasing recordings and materials they illegally obtained at NAF's educational meetings."

3 Months Since Trump's Inauguration:  Planned Parenthood Has Performed 81,567 Abortions.  Although President Donald J. Trump promised to defund Planned Parenthood if elected president, and the GOP House and Senate often claim that they want to defund the group, there reportedly is no language in the continuing resolution to fund the government through next September to defund Planned Parenthood, a group that has performed approximately 81,567 abortions since Trump's inauguration on Jan. 20.  That's about 877 abortions per day, 36 per hour, or 1 every two minutes. [...] Planned Parenthood is the biggest abortion provider in the United States.  In its latest annual report from 2014-15, Planned Parenthood reported a total revenue of $1.29 billion, of which $553.7 million came from "government health services grants & reimbursements," i.e., the taxpayers.

Video: Planned Parenthood exec who 'wanted a Lamborghini' caught haggling over baby body parts.  The Center for Medical Progress released a never-before-seen video Wednesday [4/26/2017] showing a top Planned Parenthood executive haggling over the price of baby body parts from abortions.  Mary Gatter, president of the medical directors' council at the Planned Parenthood Federation of America, is the same executive who, in a previous undercover video, was caught saying she wanted to buy a Lamborghini with the profits from fetal tissue.  In the new video, when an undercover journalist tells Ms. Gatter he is willing to pay $50 per fetal tissue specimen, she says that's "on the low end."  "$50 was like 12 years ago," she says.

Planned Parenthood Doc Who Wanted Lamborghini for Selling Aborted Babies Caught Selling Baby Parts Again.  Mary Gatter, the Planned Parenthood senior executive who infamously was caught on tape saying "I want a Lamborghini" while discussing and arranging the sale of body parts of aborted babies has been caught again.  As LifeNews reported in 2015, Mary Gatter, the Medical director at Planned Parenthood Pasadena and San Gabriel Valley in California, was caught selling aborted baby body parts to undercover investigators posing as officials with a biotech company that acts as a middleman to sell aborted baby body parts to universities and other places that conduct such research.

Why Hillary Clinton Deserves Planned Parenthood's Award.  Planned Parenthood is an abortion corporation that seeks every possible opportunity to glorify abortion and deify the public figures who push for total access to government-funded abortion-on-demand.  [Hillary] Clinton — who has already received Planned Parenthood's "Margaret Sanger" award, named after the group's eugenicist founder — has done little of note throughout her long and unsuccessful political career to "serve" American women and children, but she has always been a prominent and staunch supporter of abortion.  And the love goes both ways:  Planned Parenthood president Cecile Richards stumped for Clinton's campaign across the country in 2016, and her organization's political-action arms donated around $38 million to Democratic candidates at all levels in the last election cycle.

Trump Revokes Obama's Parting Gift to Planned Parenthood.  States will once again be able to defund Planned Parenthood after President Trump overturned an 11th-hour Obama administration regulation protecting funding for the nation's biggest abortion provider.  Trump signed into law on Thursday [4/13/2017] a bill reversing a Department of Health and Human Services regulation signed in December that prevented states from blocking funding for Planned Parenthood.  Obama's regulation reversed the policies of more than a dozen states that had prevented federal Medicaid dollars or other federal reimbursements from going to clinics that perform abortions.  Trump signed the legislation one month after he said that he would continue to direct taxpayer dollars to Planned Parenthood if it stopped performing abortions.  The organization performs more than 300,000 abortions each year — about one-third of the national total.

Trump Signs Resolution Overturning Obama Planned Parenthood State Funding Mandate.  President Donald Trump signed a resolution Thursday that overturns former President Barack Obama's rule that forced states to provide family planning grants under Title X to Planned Parenthood and other abortion providers.  In a signing ceremony that was closed to the press, Trump signed H.J. Res. 43, which allows states to withhold federal funds from facilities that provide abortions.  In attendance were Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) administrator Seema Verma, Susan B. Anthony president Marjorie Dannenfelser, and Penny Nance, CEO of Concerned Women for America.

AG Who Charged Activists For Exposing Planned Parenthood Received Thousands In Donations From Planned Parenthood.  California Attorney General Xavier Becerra, who recently charged two pro-life activists with 15 felony counts for their work exposing Planned Parenthood's sale of aborted baby body parts, received thousands in donations from the abortion provider, according to the numbers provided by Open Secrets.  On Tuesday, Becerra charged David Daleiden and Sandra Merritt of the Center for Medical Progress with 15 felony counts for the role they played in an undercover investigation of Planned Parenthood's "fetal tissue" trade practices.  In 2015, CMP began to release videos of the footage they obtained in their undercover operation, some of which featured Planned Parenthood officials and former employees discussing the taxpayer-funded organization's disturbing and potentially illegal practices regarding the selling of the body parts of aborted babies.  Though the state of Texas pursued charges against the activists, the charges were eventually dismissed.

New Crime in California:  Performing Undercover Video Journalism While Not a Democrat.  The Democrat Attorney General Xavier Becerra of California has invented a new crime:  Performing Undercover Video Journalism While Not a Democrat.  Of course, he didn't call it that.  Nor did his predecessor, now U.S. Senator Kamala Harris, when she launched an investigation of the undercover video operation to expose alleged fetal body part sales by Planned Parenthood. [...] For the most part, the mainstream media that uses similar undercover video tactics — which is how 60 Minutes made its name — has remained silent about this abuse of the criminal laws to target undercover investigations against a cherished liberal group like Planned Parenthood.

Felony charges are a disturbing overreach for the duo behind the Planned Parenthood sting videos.  It's disturbingly aggressive for [California Atty. Gen. Xavier] Becerra to apply this criminal statute to people who were trying to influence a contested issue of public policy, regardless of how sound or popular that policy may be.  Planned Parenthood and biomedical company StemExpress, which was also featured in the videos, have another remedy for the harm that was done to them:  They can sue Daleiden and Merritt for damages.  The state doesn't need to threaten the pair with prison time.

Even The LA Times Agrees:  Felony Charges Against Activists Behind Planned Parenthood Videos A 'Disturbing Overreach'.  The 15 felony charges California Attorney General Xavier Becerra leveled at two activist journalists behind a series of explosive Planned Parenthood undercover videos is such an egregious abuse of the law that even the Los Angeles Times felt compelled to call out the Democrat A.G. for his "disturbing overrreach."

Former Planned Parenthood Director ADMITS That They Kill Babies Born Alive After Failed Abortions.  I'll admit — I thought the left had shut down the Center for Medical Progress and successfully swept all those undercover sting videos under the rug.  Can't have any pro-life activists maligning that sweet, innocent, most sacred abortion mill called Planned Parenthood, now can we?  But there is now a new video from CMP showing Dr. DeShawn Taylor, former director of Planned Parenthood in Arizona, talking about how some babies are born alive even after an abortion procedure.  And rather than get those children to a hospital ASAP, abortion doctors will instead just kill the baby after birth.

Planned Parenthood Abortionist Confesses She Would Let Babies Die After They Survived An Abortion.  In a new undercover video released by the Center for Medical Progress, a former Planned Parenthood abortionist explains how the abortion provider skirts state law and employees forcibly rip apart fetuses.  At a networking reception at a Planned Parenthood conference, Dr. DeShawn Taylor, a longtime abortionist in a Los Angeles facility and former medical director of Planned Parenthood of Arizona, described to CMP journalists how she would dismember a baby in order to harvest as many viable organs from it as possible.  Tiny human organs can be sold to researchers for profit.

Planned Parenthood's swanky $20 million office space proves they don't need taxpayer money.  Who says abortion can't be chic?  That's the inadvertent takeaway from a recent Washingtonian story detailing Planned Parenthood's new DC headquarters.  A far cry from your mother's reproductive health clinic, the fancy facility is both pro-choice and swanky.  But the smudged finger prints of Planned Parenthood's public relations team are clearly visible on the glossy listicle.  And the obvious attempt to solicit sympathy backfires.  If the organization can afford a $20 million privately-funded office, perhaps Planned Parenthood really won't be reduced to the dark ages without taxpayer cash.

Felony Charges for 2 Who Secretly Filmed Planned Parenthood.  California prosecutors on Tuesday [3/28/2017] charged two anti-abortion activists who made undercover videos of themselves trying to buy fetal tissue from Planned Parenthood with 15 felonies, saying they invaded the privacy of medical providers by filming without consent.

Freedom of the Press is the Law of the Land, Until You Go After Big Abortion.  The pair of citizen journalists who exposed Planned Parenthood's alleged involvement in illicit fetal tissue trade (and a host of other inhuman, nasty things) has now been brought up on 15 felony charges in the state of California for doing so.  These charges and the pro-abortion politics from which they spring are travesties of press liberty and anathema to a free society.  The announcement came late Tuesday night [3/28/2017] from California Attorney General Xavier Becerra that prosecutors were bringing charges against David Daleiden and Sandra Merritt of the Center for Medical Progress, claiming that the pair broke privacy laws by recording Planned Parenthood staffers during its undercover endeavor.

Planned Parenthood Exposed for Infanticide Again, Media Campaigns for Whistleblowers' Scalps.  If you wonder just how backwards our sense of justice has become in the United States, consider that David Daleiden and Sandra Merritt, whose undercover videos exposed Planned Parenthood's trafficking in fetal body parts, are being charged with 15 separate felonies in the state of California.  Meanwhile, the monsters that dismember babies and sell their parts for profit are still operating their house of horrors.  And just how horrible does it get there?  The same time the Daleiden/Merritt felony story is breaking, the Center for Medical Progress has released another undercover Planned Parenthood sting video that is going unnoticed by the corrupt media.

House Rules Committee Passes Bill to Defund Planned Parenthood Abortion Business.  The House Rules Committee this morning passed a bill that would defund the Planned Parenthood abortion business and repeal major parts of Obamacare.  The vote sets up a full House vote this afternoon on the legislation.

Planned Parenthood's Useful Idiots Avoid the Truth.  Most Hollywood actresses, like Scarlett Johansson and other A-listers are doing their best to fundraise for the endangered abortion provider which just goes to prove that they nothing about actual Planned Parenthood activities.  These useful pawns of the progressive left actually believe that women's reproductive rights are threatened if Planned Parenthood loses federal funding.  PP spends millions in contributions to pro choice political action committees, i.e.  Democrats.  PP does not provide prenatal care.  It does not provide mammograms.  The services PP does provide are readily available in local clinics and hospitals.  Most of the funding it gets from the government is through Medicaid which these clinics and hospitals also accept; Planned Parenthood provides 40% of all abortions but it charges the patients up front for them.  PP is not free.

CBO Warns:  Defunding Planned Parenthood Would Lead to Additional Births.  The Congressional Budget Office's (CBO) report on the House Republicans' healthcare plan says the included provision to defund Planned Parenthood would result in "additional births stemming from the reduced access" to "services that help women avert pregnancies."

Defunding Planned Parenthood Would Lead To More Births Or Something.  Apparently, the primary things Planned Parenthood does is provide abortions and contraception to people who refuse to pay for their own in order to have irresponsible sex[.] [...] If only there was somewhere else someone could purchase contraceptives other than Planned Parenthood.  Perhaps the bill should change the law so that places like pharmacies would be allowed to provide contraception.  Maybe the new legislation would allow condoms to be sold in bathrooms and handed out in schools.  Too early for that amount of sarcasm?

Trump calls Planned Parenthood's bluff.  Each time Congress debates whether to defund Planned Parenthood, the inevitable refrain from the group's supporters is that the money it receives from taxpayers doesn't pay for abortions and that, besides, abortion makes up just 3 percent of its services.  The group's leaders saturate the media with their claim that their 700 clinics offer women and families "a range of health services."  But an abortion is nothing like a breast exam, which Planned Parenthood clinics offer, or a mammogram, which they do not (though its supporters often claim they do).  An abortion is much more serious and consequential.  Unlike those other services, it is not meant to protect or enhance life, but rather to destroy it.

Maryland bill would direct state money to Planned Parenthood if Congress cuts funding.  Leading Democrats in the Maryland General Assembly want to increase funding for Planned Parenthood clinics in the state if Congress cuts federal funds for the reproductive health-care services the organization provides.  Lawmakers have sponsored a bill that would allocate $2.7 million to help pay for health-care services that officials say nearly 25,000 women in Maryland could lose under a proposal introduced in Congress this week.

Watch Former Planned Parenthood Employees Discuss Abortion Quotas.  Liberals would have you believe that abortions make up an insignificant percentage of what Planned Parenthood does.  Unfortunately, the facts just aren't on their side for that particular argument.  Former Planned Parenthood employees are coming forward with their stories and experiences, proving that it is one of the most brutal, selfish, uncaring organizations to ever function.  Abortion supporters claim that they want the murder of children to be "safe, legal and rare," which is completely at odds with the quotas they placed on PP workers.  Employees at these clinics were told to preform a certain number of abortions in a given period and if they failed to do so, were made to develop a "corrective action plan" describing how they were going to do better next time.  That's right, they literally had to discuss tactics for getting MORE women to choose abortions.

President Donald Trump to Planned Parenthood:  Get Rid of Abortions to Keep Federal Funding.  The Trump administration has informed Planned Parenthood it will have to quit performing abortions in order to keep its federal taxpayer funding. [...] Maggie Haberman at the New York Times reports the White House has made an "informal pitch" to Planned Parenthood, offering continued federal funding to the nation's largest abortion business if it agrees to stop performing abortions.

The Editor says...
[#1] Planned Parenthood should not be rewarded any further for the terrible deeds it has done.  [#2] Trump comes across as a noncommittal centrist, instead of unequivocally stopping all funding for Planned Parenthood immediately.  [#3] How would anyone know that Planned Parenthood really stopped performing abortions, especially since that seems to be their specialty?  [#4] Giving taxpayer money to Planned Parenthood, or any other profit-making company, is not the proper role of government.

Trump Tells Planned Parenthood Its Funding Can Stay if Abortion Goes.  The White House, concerned about the possible political repercussions of the Republican effort to defund Planned Parenthood, has proposed preserving federal payments to the group if it discontinues providing abortions.  The proposal, which was never made formally, has been rejected as an impossibility by officials at Planned Parenthood, which receives about $500 million annually in federal funding.  That money helps pay for women's health services the organization provides, not for abortion services.

Former first daughter Barbara Bush says she's 'proud to stand' with Planned Parenthood as she helps organization raise $400,000.  Despite being the granddaughter and daughter of two pro-life presidents, Barbara Pierce Bush expressed her support for the abortion-providing Planned Parenthood organization on Wednesday.  The former first daughter was the keynote speaker at the Planned Parenthood of Greater Texas' annual luncheon, held at Fort Worth's Omni Hotel.  In her speech, the 35-year-old said she was 'very proud to stand with Planned Parenthood' because of the services it provides to women.

George W. Bush's daughter will headline Planned Parenthood fundraiser.  Barbara Pierce Bush, daughter of former President George W. Bush, is slated to deliver the keynote address at a Planned Parenthood fundraiser in Fort Worth, Texas, next week.  Barbara Bush has previously expressed her support for abortion, a procedure that the government-subsidized healthcare group is well-known for providing to women.  Next Wednesday, she will rally financial support for the abortion provider at its annual luncheon.

Federal judge blocks Texas' move to kick Planned Parenthood out of Medicaid.  A federal judge on Tuesday [2/21/2017] said Texas can't remove Planned Parenthood from Medicaid, issuing a temporary block of the state's ouster that will allow the provider to continue to care for patients through the program.  U.S. District Court Judge Sam Sparks issued a preliminary injunction and said the state didn't have grounds to conclude that Planned Parenthood "warranted termination from the Medicaid program as unqualified."  His temporary block will stay in place until a full trial is scheduled, argued and decided.

House Takes First Step In Allowing States To Defund Planned Parenthood.  House Republicans are moving forward with efforts to keep taxpayer dollars from going to Planned Parenthood and other abortion providers.  The House voted 230-188 Thursday to repeal a regulation that prohibits states from defunding organizations that perform abortions, including Planned Parenthood, by far the largest American abortion provider.  Planned Parenthood performs one out of every three abortions in the U.S., according to the Heritage Foundation.  The abortion ban was put in place by Congress Jan. 18, just two days before President Obama left office.  The Obama administration pushed through a rule that targeted family planning funding under Title X of the Public Health Service Act, requiring that states treat all health providers equally, whether they perform abortions or not.

Ex-clinic managers for Planned Parenthood say it treats women like cattle.  Former clinic managers for Planned Parenthood say the organization is less interested in providing quality health care for women than in performing as many abortions as possible.  In a video released by Live Action last week, former clinic manager Ramona Trevino compares the relationship between Planned Parenthood and women to that between a rancher and cattle.  "For me it was a struggle, because I felt like Planned Parenthood treated women like cattle," Ms. Trevino says in the three-minute video.  That sentiment is echoed by former clinic manager Sue Thayer, who recalls receiving instructions from Planned Parenthood to get patients in and out as quickly as possible.

Troubling New Videos Show Urgent Need to Defund Planned Parenthood.  Live Action, a nonprofit organization dedicated to ending abortion and protecting the right to life, has released videos and findings that demonstrate the urgent need for Congress to defund America's largest abortion provider, Planned Parenthood.  According to a report released in January, a Live Action investigation revealed that "Planned Parenthood lied to the media about retraining thousands of staff" with regard to reporting sex trafficking.  Back in 2011, the organization caught Planned Parenthood on film advising an undercover investigator posing as a pimp on how to get birth control and abortions for underage prostitutes.

Nationwide Protests Against Government Funding of Planned Parenthood Underway.  Activists in 45 states and the nation's capital are rallying Saturday [2/11/2017] to urge Congress and President Donald Trump to eliminate taxpayer funding for Planned Parenthood — the nation's largest abortion business.

Planned Parenthood protests take place in New York.  Protests were split as thousands rallied for and against Planned Parenthood in New York.  Many gathered in Washington Square Park Saturday afternoon [2/11/2017] and argued that the stripping of federal funding from the organization would have a negative impact especially on transgender and minority communities.

Teen Vogue Tells Girls How to Celebrate Their BFF's Abortion.  [Scroll down]  The article also advises the BFF of the post-abortive girl to step up to the plate and become an abortion clinic escort.  It warns that "you may come may come face to face with some very aggressive anti-abortion advocates," (nothing about the very aggressive doctors who rip an unborn child from its protective cocoon), but it's all good, because she can "make it a little easier for the next girl."  As well as enriching the friendly neighborhood Planned Parenthood abortion mill.

Hill Republicans plan to kill Obama's order on taxpayer funding of Planned Parenthood.  House Republicans will vote next week to liberate states from an Obama rule requiring them to subsidize Planned Parenthood.  In one of his last actions, Obama effectively forced states to fund Planned Parenthood.  Many states have policies barring state funds for the abortion giant, and Obama's 11th-hour executive order prohibited such policies.  Next week, the House plans to use the Congressional Review Act to repeal that Obama regulation — a first salvo in their fight to roll back Obama's legacy on abortion.

Planned Parenthood Scrubs "Prenatal Care" From Website After Caught Denying It to Women.  Last month, a new investigation showed employees at the Planned Parenthood abortion business denying women prenatal care.  In fact, at almost every single one of the 97 Planned Parenthood facilities investigators contacted, prenatal care was not something the Planned Parenthood clinics offered.  After LifeNews and other media outlets reported on the investigation, Planned Parenthood has scrubbed its websites have any mention of prenatal care.

Planned Parenthood Still Hasn't Produced an Annual Report.  Here's Why That's a Problem.  The Planned Parenthood annual report provides Americans — whether they are pro-life or pro-choice — with important information about abortion incidence and other services provided by the nonprofit organization, which receives over half a billion dollars from taxpayers each year.  The report data tell us, for example, that 94 percent of Planned Parenthood's "pregnancy services" were abortions, and less than 1 percent were adoption referrals in 2014-2015.  The report tells us that in the same year, Planned Parenthood performed 323,999 abortions — one every 98 seconds.  It tells us that in the last three reported years (2012, 2013, and 2014), Planned Parenthood has aborted nearly 1 million baby boys and baby girls.  The report data also tell us that its contraceptive services have dropped.  Total services have dropped.  The number of unique patients served has dropped.  Meanwhile, Planned Parenthood reports almost $59 million in excess revenue for fiscal year 2015 and more than $1.4 billion in net assets.

Pre-Natal Care?  Planned Parenthood Staff Members Admit Ultrasounds 'Only for Abortions'.  Pro-life organization Live Action continues its series of undercover videos investigating Planned Parenthood's claim that it offers "pre-natal care" to pregnant women.

New Planned Parenthood undercover videos:  Ultrasounds only for abortions.  The nation's largest abortion chain has demanded that Republicans in Congress stop attacking "women's health care" with their proposals to bar federal funds from flowing into their coffers.  When it comes to actual caring, however, Planned Parenthood focuses its resources on abortions.  Live Action has two new videos out today demonstrating that PP's clinics use their ultrasounds — a key diagnostic tool for expecting mothers — only to prepare to terminate the life within the womb in all but a handful of their clinics.

Will the Trump DOJ Finally Launch a Criminal Investigation Into Planned Parenthood?  In late 2015, it was exposed through an undercover video investigation conducted by the Center for Medical Progress that Planned Parenthood was selling body parts of aborted babies, many of them late-term.  The investigation was extensive, with some videos showing abortion "doctors" pushing around baby brains in a petri-dish and discussing their market value.  Planned Parenthood, protected by the Democrat machine and the Obama Justice Department, denied the practice and cited any sale of tissue as necessary for medical research.  The organization wasn't criminally investigated, despite the selling of body parts being illegal under federal law.

The Numbers That Show Planned Parenthood [is] About Abortion, Not Women's Health.  As Planned Parenthood looks to spend a record $30 million this fall to influence the November elections and keep its taxpayer funding flowing, Live Action has released a new online tool pro-lifers can use to help counter the kind of propaganda $30 million can buy.  Live Action's new "3 Percent Abortion Myth" video dispels one of Planned Parenthood's greatest myths — that abortion only makes up 3 percent of its services.

We don't need to spend our tax dollars on Planned Parenthood.  There is no organization as near and dear to the hearts of abortion advocates as Planned Parenthood.  President Obama almost shut down the government in 2011 over federal funding of the nation's largest abortion vendor.  Candidate Hillary Clinton often gushed about her love of the non-profit, which has revenues of over a billion dollars, during her presidential run.  But now Planned Parenthood is in the fight of their lives as they are likely to face a defunding battle in Congress.  They are using every scare tactic in the book and throwing millions behind expensive public relations campaigns to drum up support and convince women that access to basic health care will be lost if they lose the half a billion dollars they get from taxpayers every year.  But the truth is:  we don't need Planned Parenthood.

Planned Parenthood on Defunding of Foreign Abortion Groups: 'Access to Abortion is an American Value'.  In response to the Trump administration reinstating the Mexico City Policy, which blocks taxpayer funds to non-governmental organizations that perform or promote abortion overseas, Planned Parenthood Executive Vice President Dawn Laguens said "access to safe, legal abortion is an American value."  On Monday [1/23/2017], White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer said President Trump had "made it very clear that he's a pro-life president," and "the reinstatement of this policy is not just something that echoes that value but respects taxpayer funding as well."

Planned Parenthood Offices Nationwide Tell Callers They 'Don't Offer Prenatal Care'.  Planned Parenthood CEO Cecile Richards likes to boast that her organization offers necessary prenatal care for women.  Supporters of Planned Parenthood and Democrat politicians do the same — but surprise! — it's just a myth.  A video from Live Action shows Planned Parenthood clinics across the country telling callers they "don't offer prenatal care."  One operator even says, "We specialize in abortions."  Callers are told over and over again that Planned Parenthood has no prenatal care or doctors, but they are reassured that if you need an abortion, you've come to the right place.

Video: Planned Parenthood Denies Prenatal Care to Undercover Journalists.  An undercover video investigation from the pro-life activist group Live Action appears to show employees at multiple Planned Parenthood clinics turning away clients asking for prenatal care.  Prenatal care is a benefit the organization touts as one of the many services they offer women beyond pregnancy termination.  According to the Live Action video, only five of the 97 Planned Parenthood clinics contacted in the nationwide investigation were able to offer any level of prenatal care.

Investigation: Planned Parenthood Lies About Offering Prenatal Care.  When Planned Parenthood executives and defenders (read: financial beneficiaries) decry Congressional efforts to redirect its taxpayer funding to other women health centers, they often insist that the organization provides vital services that have nothing to do with their thriving abortion business or fetal organ harvesting and profiteering.  They vastly overstate women's reliance on Planned Parenthood, and wrongly claim that its clinics do things like offer mammograms (false) and other cancer screening services (declining, and widely available elsewhere).

Moms call Planned Parenthood for "prenatal care," get offered abortions instead.  Democrats and progressives are mobilizing to protect Planned Parenthood, the nation's largest abortion provider, because they claim it helps women in other areas including prenatal care.  Cecil Richards, the president of Planned Parenthood, even campaigned for Hillary Clinton on the platform of protecting women's health especially when it comes to prenatal care.  A new investigation by the pro-life group Live Action found that Richards may have been lying about all the services Planned Parenthood provided.

Cecile Richards Makes the Case for Defunding Planned Parenthood.  Celebrities, comedians, and much of the news media are only too willing to provide ostensibly unbiased cover for the institutions and issues that liberals care about.  Democratic activists and politicians are treated with kid gloves on shows watched by millions of Americans, in this case allowing [Cecile] Richards to wield carefully worded messaging to persuade viewers to trust a group as crooked as Planned Parenthood, although most of her points were incorrect or deceptive and can easily be debunked with some basic facts.

"Women's March" Chair Admits Event is Really About Defending Planned Parenthood, Promoting Abortion.  Planned Parenthood is more than just a partner for the upcoming Women's March on Washington.  To begin his Sunday [1/15/2017] segment, MSNBC Richard Lui described the Women's March as an event that "started out as a rallying cry for women to show their solidarity against Trump" before turning to Linda Sarsour, the national co-chair of the Women's March on Washington, for more information. [...] Sarsour began listing the march's most important issues.  "First of all, hands off the Affordable Care Act.  We need our health insurance," she began.  "Hands off Planned Parenthood and our reproductive rights.  Hands off Muslims.  Hands off the undocumented.  Those are really our top messaging lines.  Hands off our Native American sisters and brothers."

The Exorcism of Obamacare From the Body Politic.  The "reproductive rights" mafia will pull out all the stops to prevent [Tom] Price from being confirmed as the Secretary of Health and Human Services.  Never mind that he would be the first actual physician to lead HHS in nearly a generation, is well-known for his policy expertise, and has the support of the health care industry. [...] Much of this invective has been prompted by Price's vote in favor of legislation to defund the Planned Parenthood abortion factory and purveyor of organs cut from dead infants.  In addition to voting for the bill, Price eloquently explained why:  "These actions cross a moral line beyond comprehension.  The revealing picture is of a supported routine for abortion practices that result in the harvesting and sale of baby parts, some of which are secured in barbaric processes... I voted to end taxpayer funding for the organization responsible."

Amusing, inasmuch as cable channels don't use "airwaves."
MSNBC Host to Planned Parenthood: 'These Airwaves Are Your Airwaves'.  Americans know the liberal media are untrustworthy.  But there's something especially repulsive when they don't even pretend to uphold journalistic integrity.  On Sunday [1/8/2017], MSNBC host Joy Reid invited Planned Parenthood President Cecile Richards on her show, AM Joy.  But rather than conducting an interview, Reid turned her show into a Planned Parenthood lovefest, from insinuating that defunding Planned Parenthood would make women die to promising Richards that "these airwaves are your airwaves."

StemExpress, former Planned Parenthood partner, drops lawsuit against pro-life journalists.  A middleman in the market for fetal tissue has dropped its lawsuit against the pro-life journalists who accused it of partnering with Planned Parenthood to profit from the sale of baby body parts from abortions.  StemExpress, which was referred by Congress for criminal investigation last week, dropped its lawsuit against David Daleiden and the Center for Medical Progress on Tuesday, one day before an appellate hearing was set to take place on a motion to strike the complaint.  Charles LiMandri, president of the Freedom of Conscience Defense Fund, which represents the CMP, said the timing of the dismissal is telling.

Planned Parenthood Baby Parts Vendor StemExpress Drops Lawsuit Against David Daleiden.  In a huge victory for the pro-life advocate responsible for uncovering the grisly business of selling body parts of aborted babies, StemExpress has dropped its lawsuit against David Daleiden.  Daleiden was responsible for the undercover videos exposing the Planned Parenthood abortion business and the abortion industry selling the body parts of aborted unborn children.  StemExpress was a middleman that would take the body parts from Planned Parenthood and sell them at a much higher cost to scientists and researchers conducting dubious research with them.  After it was exposed, StemExpress filed a lawsuit against the light and attempting to cover up additional video footage and information related to the sales of the body parts.  Today, StemExpress is dropping its lawsuit against The Center for Medical Progress and walking away with nothing.

Paul Ryan indicates GOP will strip federal funding from Planned Parenthood.  Speaker Paul Ryan, R-Wisconsin, indicated Thursday that a provision to cut off federal funding to Planned Parenthood would be included in legislation that would repeal Obamacare.  "Well, the Planned Parenthood legislation would be in our reconciliation bill," Ryan said at his weekly news conference on Capitol Hill.  Republicans wrapped a provision targeting Planned Parenthood funding into their reconciliation bill to dismantle Obamacare last year, but President Obama, of course, quickly vetoed that measure.  In response to Ryan's threat Thursday [1/5/2017], House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, D-California, said Democrats would again fight against the GOP plan.

Planned Parenthood closed more than 300 facilities.  American Life League (ALL) has been tracking the abortion giant for many years.  The pro-life organization has just completed its annual survey of locations for the abortion business to give Americans a better idea of the extent to which Planned Parenthood is shutting is doors across the United States.  ALL Executive Director Jim Sedlak has the numbers to prove Planned Parenthood's descent, noting that bad news for the world's largest abortion provider is good news for pro-life advocates.

Texas moves to cut Planned Parenthood's Medicaid funding.  Texas officials are moving to strip millions of Medicaid dollars from Planned Parenthood in the wake of allegations that the nation's largest abortion provider impermissibly traffics in fetal body parts from abortions.  Stuart Bowen, the inspector general for the Texas Health and Human Services Commission, sent a final notice to Planned Parenthood on Tuesday [12/20/2016] informing the group that their Medicaid funding will be cut off in 30 days, more than a year after the governor initiated the process to get Planned Parenthood off of the taxpayer dole.

Obama Approves Rule Prohibiting States From Defunding Planned Parenthood.  Pro-abortion President Barack Obama has finalized a new rule that would essentially prohibit states from defunding the Planned Parenthood abortion business and a leading pro-life member of Congress is not happy about it.  The finalized rule from the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) prevents states from blocking Title X funding (federal dollars for family planning services) to abortion companies like Planned Parenthood.

An important criminal referral.  One day in June 2014, Advanced Bioscience Resources (ABR) obtained a 20-week-old fetus at a Planned Parenthood clinic, for which it paid $60.  From that one fetus, ABR sold its brain to a customer for $325; both of its eyes for $325 each ($650 total); a portion of its liver for $325 to a third customer; its thymus for $325 and another portion of the liver for $325 to a forth customer; and its lung for $325 to a fifth customer.  In total, ABR charged its clients $2,275 for a fetus it paid $60 for — which didn't include separate, additional charges for shipping and disease screening.

'11th hour power grab': Obama mandates state funding for Planned Parenthood.  President Obama is delivering a generous parting gift to Planned Parenthood in the form of a rule prohibiting states from divesting millions of dollars from the nation's largest abortion provider.  The final version of the rule, issued by the Department of Health and Human Services on Wednesday [12/14/2016], requires states to distribute dollars from Title X of the Public Health Service Act without taking into account whether recipient clinics perform abortions.  The edict is set to go into effect Jan. 18, two days before the presidential inauguration of Donald Trump.

Senate committee refers Planned Parenthood for criminal charges.  The Senate Judiciary Committee is recommending criminal charges against Planned Parenthood for allegedly trafficking in fetal body parts from abortions for profit.  In a letter sent to the FBI and the Department of Justice on Tuesday, committee Chairman Chuck Grassley, Iowa Republican, referred four of Planned Parenthood's largest affiliates, the Planned Parenthood Federation of America and three of the abortion provider's business partners for potential prosecution.

Grassley asks FBI, Justice to investigate Planned Parenthood.  The Republican head of the Senate Judiciary Committee is asking federal authorities to consider investigating and prosecuting Planned Parenthood, four of its affiliates and three human tissue companies.  Sen. Chuck Grassley sent a letter to the FBI and the Justice Department on Tuesday that asked them to explore whether the groups have illegally profited from fetal tissue.  Grassley pointed to findings by a special House committee that over the past year has been investigating the supply chain of fetal tissue.  The documents collected by the House panel raise a "reasonable suspicion" of wrongdoing, Grassley wrote.

Macy's Stores Ceases ALL Donations to Planned Parenthood.  The department store giant is the most recent in a list of companies which have ended their support for the barbaric industry.

Money Speaks:  Macy's Halts Funding of Planned Parenthood.  This Christmas, pro-lifers should consider shopping at Macy's.  Because, as it turns out, the giant chain listens to its conservative consumers.  In a Wednesday [11/7/2016] press release, corporate watchdog 2ndVote revealed that Macy's no longer gives or matches donations to Planned Parenthood.  Macy's decision comes after MRC Culture reported in October on 2ndVote's updated list of 37 companies that fund Planned Parenthood.  Thanks to shoppers, that number is now 36.

Planned Parenthood Serves Up Abortion Like Fries.  Abortion is a money-making business for Planned Parenthood.  Just like a sales agent at any store, their "counselors" have a profit motive in convincing women to kill their children.  Reluctance and second guessing are fine with them, as long as they can get you to check the box.

ACLU, Planned Parenthood say Alaska restrictions on second-trimester abortions are unconstitutional.  Planned Parenthood and the American Civil Liberties Union filed a lawsuit against the state of Alaska Wednesday [11/30/2016], accusing it of illegally blocking abortions after the first trimester of pregnancy.  The lawsuit, filed in Anchorage Superior Court, says the Alaska Medical Board has unconstitutionally interfered with a woman's right to abortion by requiring a doctor to consult with a second physician before performing a second-trimester abortion and that a clinic must have an operating room ready for major surgery and be ready to perform a blood transfusion.  The medical board licenses physicians and its regulations have the weight of state law.

Planned Parenthood Wants To Ruin Thanksgiving.  As if we all hadn't gotten our fill of progressive explainers over the past few days, Planned Parenthood has decided to weigh in with a step-by-step guide to discussing the abortion-rights group with your family this Thanksgiving. [...] There is almost no reason on earth why any family should spend Thanksgiving — a time when we're meant to be especially grateful for our many blessings — debating politics, let alone the sordid realities of how Planned Parenthood does business.  But if for some inexplicable reason it happens to come up, it is worth knowing that the truth is a great deal more sordid that the group would have us believe.

Taxpayer-Funded Planned Parenthood Paying People $1600 Per Week to Protest Donald Trump.  Before we point fingers at those who are protesting the results of the most recent election, all of us in the pro-life community must begin with some reflection.  Eight years ago, when abortion-proponent Barack Obama won the White House, the pregnancy help community took our grievances to the streets.  We smashed windows.  We stopped traffic.  We sought to overturn the results.  Ummm, no.  We did not.  In the days after the 2008 elections, we went back to work to serve those who needed us most.  We had no time for "taking it to the streets" (with all due respect to the 1976 song by Michael McDonald and the Doobie Brothers).  Such is not the case for Planned Parenthood today.  Apparently, the abortion giant has plenty of time on its hands, and plenty of money.

Is Planned Parenthood affiliate fueling anti-Trump protests?  The Craigslist ads read:  "STOP TRUMP — up to $1500/week.  Hiring immediately!  Call Today Start tomorrow!  $15-$18 hourly rate + bonus + overtime up to 77 hours per week!"  They were placed by a Planned Parenthood affiliate in major cities like Boston, Denver, Columbus, Philadelphia and Pittsburgh right before the election to defeat the candidacy of Donald Trump.  However, most of them are still active on Craigslist, fueling questions about whether the group is now among those feeding the post-election anti-Trump protests across the country.  Many of the ads have Planned Parenthood Action, a PAC, emblazoned across the top and all of them list phone numbers belonging to the Community Outreach Group, a for-profit organization formed by Planned Parenthood as "a vendor of large-scale advocacy."  Protesting is among the tasks listed on its website.

Americans Defeat Planned Parenthood's Campaign to Elect a Pro-Abortion President.  In what was likely the most hotly contested presidential election in history, President Elect Donald Trump took the win Wednesday morning, securing the vote for the nation's top public office.  The pro-life movement pushed back against Planned Parenthood's $30 million campaign to elect a pro-abortion president and Congress, voting into office pro-life senators and representatives to Capitol Hill.  The abortion lobby's extreme push for unregulated abortions through all nine months of pregnancy and forced taxpayer funding for abortion also lost at the polls.  Live Action President Lila Rose notes that the 2016 presidential election is a key moment in securing a pro-life future for America.  She urges pro-lifers to hold Trump to the promises he made during his campaign.

Planned Parenthood CEO Issues Desperate Email After Clinton Defeat, "We're Devastated and Angry".  The Planned Parenthood abortion business this morning issued a desperate email to abortion advocates that support it following last night's surprise defeat of pro-abortion presidential candidate Hillary Clinton.  The abortion company was forced to tell its supporters that it plans to stay open and will not be closing down as long as they continue providing financial support for it.  Planned Parenthood CEO Cecile Richards admitted that the abortion giant has devastated and angry after last night's surprise election.  She said she would understand it if abortion advocates wanted to just stay in bed today and ignore the reality of their massive defeat.

Planned Parenthood at 100: Growing the abortion business and lawlessness.  On Planned Parenthood's 100-year anniversary, October 15, tens of millions of Americans have now seen the shocking undercover video footage of the biggest abortion provider's top-level leadership — medical directors, national program directors, even the Senior Director of Medical Services — callously negotiating the harvesting and sale of aborted fetal body parts.  Even Planned Parenthood's political allies recognize that there is nothing defensible about Planned Parenthood's illicit trade in tiny baby hearts, lungs, livers, and brains.  The board of George Soros' Open Society Foundation said it best when they observed that the videos of senior leadership's participation in fetal trafficking have "upended" Planned Parenthood, and that "the long-term consequences involve the substantial eroding of Planned Parenthood's credibility and reputation."

Planned Parenthood Partners Charged for Illegal Body Part Profits.  Two of Planned Parenthood's top partners have been charged with raking in hundreds of thousands of dollars in illegal profits derived from the sale of tissue derived from aborted fetuses.  The Orange County District Attorney's office filed suit against DV Biologics and its sister company Da Vinci Biosciences for marking up prices and shipping fees on the sale of cells derived from "heart, lungs, kidneys, brains, intestines, skeletal muscles and bones of the aborted fetus donations."  "DV Biologics, LLC, and DaVinci Biosciences, LLC obtained aborted fetus donations from Planned Parenthood and turned those donations into a profit-driven business," the complaint filed in state superior court says.  "Defendants set prices for fetal 'products' arbitrarily, without any attempt to comply with the law, in an effort to maximize their profits and sales."  Neither DV Biologics, nor Planned Parenthood returned request for comment.

Planned Parenthood is Back with a Vengeance.  Planned Parenthood is back in the news.  Hooray!  They took a well-deserved hit after the videos emerged of just what an awful place it is and how awful some of the people who run these places are.  Unfortunately not enough of a hit, as they are still in business.  But now, with eugenist-loving Hillary Clinton running for president, Planned Parenthood is preparing its triumphant comeback.  Not just to defend its vile practice, but actually promote it as part of Hillary's campaign.

16 Times Democrats Tried To Prosecute Their Opponents.  [#1] David Daleiden:  After publishing undercover footage of Planned Parenthood harvesting organs from the bodies of aborted babies and discussing agreements to sell those baby organs, Daleiden became public enemy number one for Democrats.  A Texas district attorney tried to charge Daleiden and his investigative partner for organ trafficking, a misdemeanor, and tampering with a government record, a felony.  From the beginning, the case against Daleiden showed obvious conflicts of interest.  As The Federalist reported, "the district attorney who indicted Daleiden has received more than $25,000 in campaign contributions from the defense attorney for abortionist Douglas Karpen, who has been described as the Kermit Gosnell of Texas."  California Attorney General Kamala Harris, who had Daleiden's home raided after the videos emerged, had financial ties with Planned Parenthood.

Inside Planned Parenthood's $30 Million Ground War to Stop Trump-Pence.  Planned Parenthood is mounting one of the largest door-to-door field campaigns of the 2016 election, working to persuade millions of voters to defeat the extremist, anti-abortion ticket of Donald Trump and Mike Pence.  Its army of hundreds of paid staff and thousands of volunteers could tip the balance in as many as half-a-dozen swing states, where the Trump campaign barely counts field offices, much less a sophisticated ground game.  Aiming to reach three million voters across six states, the $30 million campaign has twice the budget of Planned Parenthood's largest previous field effort, in 2012.  "Access to safe and legal abortion and access to reproductive health care is on the ballot this year like never before," Deirdre Schifeling, executive director of the Planned Parenthood Action Fund, tells Rolling Stone.

Planned Parenthood Says Dead Babies Are Good For Business And The Economy, And They're Very Wrong.  It never ceases to amaze me how abortion advocates will pull out all the stops to paint abortion as this grand venture that makes the world a better place.  Proponents have made it sound as if in the event abortion were made illegal, then women would be put into chains, sold into slavery, and treated like third class citizens.  In other words, it would be like an Islamic state, but they can't bring themselves to say that.  The whole point of the wailing and gnashing of the teeth is that if women lost access to abortion, then women aren't truly free.  They consider it control over their bodies.  The pattern is that it completely focuses on them, and not the baby they're murdering.  Ya know, the other body they're asserting control over without any sense of irony.  But now they've gone a step further.

Democratic Resolution Would Honor Planned Parenthood as 'Essential Thread in Fabric of Society'.  Sen. Ron Wyden (D-Ore.) introduced a resolution last week to "recognize the importance of Planned Parenthood's contributions to women's health care and reproductive rights in America over the last 100 years."  The resolution voiced strong support for the nation's largest abortion provider, declaring that "the organization remains an essential thread in the fabric of society, and it will be key in the next century to assisting millions of women, men, and young people in accessing the health care they need and deserve, no matter who they are or where they live."

The Editor says...
Ri-i-i-ight.  Unless they're black and live in a uterus.

Planned Parenthood lying about abortions.  In the debate surrounding the funding of Planned Parenthood, those who defend the abortion provider love to cite the statistic that abortions only make up 3% of the services offered.  It's a disgusting lie, used to manipulate the public into believing Planned Parenthood is a necessity for women's health.  In reality, Planned Parenthood is responsible for a third of our nation's abortions — mass murder being funding by your tax dollars.  And they're trying to cover it up.

Planned Parenthood is Working Hand in Hand With China's Population Control Officials.  China's One Child Policy turns 36 this week (September 25).  Reggie Littlejohn, President of Women's Rights Without Frontiers, stated, "The One Child Policy has been responsible for hundreds of millions of forced abortions and sterilizations and untold human suffering.  While posturing as a champion of choice, International Planned Parenthood has been working hand in hand with the population control program in China, almost since its inception.  Forced abortion is not a choice.  Women's Rights Without Frontiers calls for a full-scale, international investigation of International Planned Parenthood to determine the exact nature of its operations in China.  Transparency is demanded by the fact that IPPF receives taxpayer dollars from the United States and other nations as well.  I believe it is impossible to work so closely with the Chinese Communist Party's forced abortion machine without being complicit in its atrocities.  This is especially the case when this year we learned that the number of abortions in China is not 13 million, but a staggering 23 million a year."

Obama's Parting Gift to Planned Parenthood.  What do you give to a cash-flush abortion business and political ally that has everything?  More taxpayer dollars, of course.  In his remaining few months in the Oval Office, President Barack Obama has found a new way to direct more taxpayer money to his friends at Planned Parenthood.  The Department of Health and Human Services has announced a new regulation that would force states to give federal family planning funds to Planned Parenthood and other abortionists.  The move could mean millions more in taxpayer dollars for the nation's abortion market leader at the expense of women's health.

Obama Administration's Latest Overreach Sides with Planned Parenthood.  The Obama Administration continues its abrasive Executive overreach to push its agenda, bypassing Congressional approval and in direct opposition to the will of the American people.  In its latest move, the Obama bureaucracy is trying to push through a new regulation to prevent state governments from redirecting Title X funds away from Planned Parenthood and other abortion providers to community health centers and other health care providers that provide more comprehensive health care for women and family members in need.

New Obama Rule Would Ban States From Defunding Planned Parenthood.  The Obama administration is seeking to ban states from defunding Planned Parenthood by quietly implementing a new Title X rule that would limit states' ability to direct federal funds.  The proposed Health and Human Services rule would ban states from using criteria not based on ability to provide services when determining which family planning centers get federal funding.  Several states stripped Planned Parenthood of these federal funds in the last year after a series of undercover videos exposed the non-profit's trade in aborted fetus parts, and 13 states have now stripped the funds since 2011.

When abortion funding is a fundamental right, but religious liberty is not.  The courts of Sodom and Gomorrah have struck again.  On Friday [8/12/2016], just as I was finishing my article concerning the distortion of religious liberty and property rights in America, the federal judiciary illustrated my point once again.  In two separate decisions in different parts of the country — when juxtaposed to one another — the federal judiciary demonstrated that, in their estimation, the Constitution is unconstitutional.  On Friday, Judge Michael R. Barrett, a federal judge for the Western Division of the Southern District of Ohio, blocked the state's new law cutting off state funding to Planned Parenthood.  This Bush appointee, who once served as chair of the Hamilton County Republican Party, said that the injunction was necessary because otherwise the abortion-provider "will suffer a continuing irreparable injury for which there is no adequate remedy at law."

Planned Parenthood Piously Extols Freedom From Violence:.  No wonder both presidential candidates are such big supporters of Planned Parenthood. [...] Actually, when you attack a police officer and attempt to take his gun like Michael Brown did, you have explicitly waived any expectation to be free from violence.  Being torn to pieces inside your mother's womb comes as more of a surprise.

Only GOP Congressman Supporting Hillary Took Thousands From Planned Parenthood.  Republican New York Rep.  Richard Hanna, who announced Tuesday he would be breaking ranks this November and voting for Hillary Clinton, has a lengthy history of siding against his party and standing with with one of Clinton's staunchest allies — Planned Parenthood.  Planned Parenthood donated thousands of dollars to Hanna's campaigns in 2012 — when he was one of three Republicans in Congress to accept money from the organization — and in 2014, when he was the only Republican in Congress funded by Planned Parenthood.

Planned Parenthood Launches Voter Registration Campaign.  Planned Parenthood will begin a nonpartisan campaign to register voters at its clinics, on college campuses and online to help marginalized populations participate more in this election cycle, the women's health provider announced to the Huffington Post Friday [8/5/2016].  The voter registration campaign titled "My Vote, My Voice" will have volunteers in 45 states set up tables outside of Planned Parenthood clinics and other spots in communities to educate people about their state's voter ID laws while helping them register to vote.  Two weeks before the general election, volunteers will also remind people to vote.

Catholic Priest to Planned Parenthood:  History 'Will Lump' You With 'Slave Traders, the Nazis, the Communists'.  "We have no doubt that in 20 or 50 or 100 years, other societies and other civilizations will look back and will lump your organization in with the slave traders, the Nazis, the communists, all those groups that have always sought to oppress people," said Fr. John Hollowell, a Catholic priest of the archdiocese of Indianapolis, in a video message to Cecile Richards, president of Planned Parenthood, the nation's largest abortion provider.  Hollowell uploaded the video to YouTube in February 2012, when Richards called for women to make videos with the tagline 'I Have a Say,' explaining why birth control is important to them.  The video has garnered 148,254 views, far more than Richards' video, which has pulled in 37,573 views.  The Catholic site Roman Catholic Man recently re-posted the video.  [Video clip]

Hillary Clinton and Planned Parenthood Want Free Abortions on Babies After 20 Weeks.  During the past eight years, President Barack Obama's pro-abortion position has been devastating to unborn babies and the Americans who fight to protect their rights.  But the abortion climate in America could get even worse if Hillary Clinton wins the White House, National Review's Ramesh Ponnuru predicted.  "During the Obama years, liberalism became more aggressive in its support of abortion.  Hillary Clinton's campaign reflects this new attitude," Ponnuru wrote.  "If she is elected, her administration is likely to reach a new extreme in the depth of its commitment to keeping abortion legal, expanding subsidies for it, and insulating these policies from democratic review."  Ponnuru pointed out that Clinton's radical abortion position is similar to Obama's.  She has said in various interviews that an unborn child just hours before birth should have no Constitutional rights.  In February, Clinton defended the gruesome partial-birth abortion procedure.  Clinton also said she wants to overturn the Hyde Amendment and force taxpayers to pay for abortions.

Undercover Filmmaker Who Exposed Planned Parenthood Calls His Case a 'Huge Win' for Journalists.  On Tuesday [7/26/2016], the Harris County district attorney's office dismissed all charges against David Daleiden and Sandra Merritt.  The duo worked undercover to produce a series of videos alleging Planned Parenthood's involvement in the sale of unborn baby body parts.  Federal law makes it illegal to sell human fetal tissue for a profit.  Daleiden, project lead at the Center for Medical Progress, and Merritt were indicted by the Houston-based grand jury in January for using false government identification during their undercover investigation.  Daleiden was also indicted for "intentionally and knowingly" offering to buy human organs.  The two faced up to 20 years in prison, LifeSiteNews reported.

Charges dismissed against Planned Parenthood videographers.  The Harris County District Attorney's office on Tuesday dismissed all charges against anti-abortion activists who secretly videotaped Planned Parenthood officials in Houston.  David Robert Daleiden and Sandra Merritt were charged with tampering with a governmental record, for using a fake identification to gain access to the facility.  In a surprise move before a hearing on the legitimacy of the indictment, prosecutors dismissed the charges.

All Charges Dropped Against Activists Behind Undercover Planned Parenthood Videos.  All charges have been dismissed against the pro-life activists indicted in Texas for their involvement in the making of undercover videos about Planned Parenthood.  The Houston Chronicle reports the Harris County District Attorney's Office has dismissed all charges against the two activist filmmakers, David Daleiden, 27, and Sandra Merritt, 63.  As LawNewz.com reported in January, a grand jury empaneled to investigate misconduct by officials at Planned Parenthood instead decided to flip the script, returning indictments against Daleiden and Merritt.  Both were charged with second degree felony tampering with a governmental record for allegedly using fake identification cards to hide their real identities when making the videos.  Daleiden was also charged with a misdemeanor for allegedly attempting to purchase human organs.

Charges dismissed against Planned Parenthood videographers.  The Harris County District Attorney's office on Tuesday [7/26/2016] dismissed all charges against anti-abortion activists who secretly videotaped Planned Parenthood officials in Houston.  David Robert Daleiden and Sandra Merritt were charged with tampering with a governmental record, for using a fake identification to gain access to the facility.  In a surprise move before a hearing on the legitimacy of the indictment, prosecutors dismissed the charges.  Deleiden and his attorneys claimed victory for the anti-abortion movement, saying they were satisfied with the decision.

D.A. Dismisses All Bogus Charges Against David Daleiden for Exposing Planned Parenthood.  On the night the head of the Planned Parenthood abortion company is slated to speak to the Democratic National Convention, the man behind the undercover videos has been vindicated.  Again.  As LifeNews reported last month, a Harris County, Texas judge dismissed the bogus misdemeanor charge against David Daleiden for allegedly trying to buy body parts from the Planned Parenthood abortion business he was exposing for selling them as a part of the Center for Medical Progress' undercover investigation.  Today [7/26/2016], Harris County District Attorney's office on Tuesday dismissed all charges against Daleiden and Sandra Merritt, the pro-life adovcate [sic] who worked with him on the groundbreaking videos.

The Planned Parenthood Investigation:  One Year Later.  In January, President Obama vetoed a bill that would have forbidden taxpayer funding from Planned Parenthood.  But the House Select Investigative Panel — formed last October in response to CMP's videos — has been conducting extensive investigations into the organization's practices.  Yesterday, the panel released an interim report confirming, with extensive evidence, the CMP video footage, and finding that Planned Parenthood and its affiliates have broken several federal laws — including the NIH Revitalization Act of 1993, a federal statute prohibiting the acquisition, reception, or transfer of fetal tissue for monetary considerations.  The panel report provides nearly incontrovertible proof that the organization consistently engaged in this very type of fetal-tissue trafficking.

Planned Parenthood Caught Engaging in $28 Million in Medicaid Fraud Loses Bid to Stop Lawsuit.  Just one Planned Parenthood affiliate in Iowa allegedly committed $28 million in medicaid fraud.  And now a federal appeals court has ruled that it can't stop the lawsuit a former Planned Parenthood clinic director filed against it.  Former Planned Parenthood clinic director Sue Thayer filed the lawsuit against the abortion giant's Iowa affiliate accusing it of submitting "repeated false, fraudulent, and/or ineligible claims for reimbursements" to Medicaid and failing to meet acceptable standards of medical practice.  Alliance Defending Freedom filed the suit for Thayer in March 2011.  The lawsuit claims that Planned Parenthood's Iowa affiliate submitted "repeated false, fraudulent, and/or ineligible claims for reimbursements" to Medicaid and failed to meet acceptable standards of medical practice.

Planned Parenthood spending millions to elect Democrats.  Planned Parenthood, who receives more than $500 million in funds from the American taxpayer every year, is engaged in a highly partisan effort to elect Democrats to office — including Hillary Clinton.  How do they get away with it?  There's a loophole in the campaign finance laws that allows Planned Parenthood to create a separate entity to collect donations and distribute cash and services to candidates.  The PPFA is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, while Planned Parenthood Action is a 501(c)(4) advocacy group.  They keep separate books and are not allowed by law to coordinate action.  But does anyone really believe that the Planned Parenthood Action Fund doesn't do the bidding of Planned Parenthood, the non-profit?

Key charge dropped against pro-life activist in Planned Parenthood sting.  A Texas judge on Monday [6/13/2016] tossed out a key charge against the pro-life activist whose undercover video rocked Planned Parenthood.  A misdemeanor charge of purchase and sale of human organs was dropped in the case against David Daleiden, founder of Center for Medical Progress, apparently due to a technicality in the Harris County prosecutor's indictment.  The move leaves Daleiden still facing a felony charge of tampering with a government ID.  "[The dismissal] of trafficking human organs is the latest confirmation that the indictments from a runaway grand jury in Houston were a politically-motivated sham all along," read a statement posted on CMP's website.

Hillary Clinton:  My Presidential Campaign 'Belongs to' Abortionists and Planned Parenthood.  Hillary Clinton said her historic presidential campaign "belongs to" Planned Parenthood "staff" and abortionists.  "I'm grateful to the entire Planned Parenthood family.  You made this campaign your own," the Democratic presidential nominee said at a speech before the Planned Parenthood Action Fund in Washington, D.C., on Friday [6/10/2016].  After specifically referencing the 1,000 volunteers who showed up for a Planned Parenthood training event in Pittsburgh last month, she continued.  "It belongs to the staff, the donors, and to the providers," she said.

Black Planned Parenthood Activists Blame Orlando Terror Attack on 'Toxic Masculinity'.  Planned Parenthood Black Community is blaming "toxic masculinity" for the horrific shooting at a gay nightclub in Orlando, Florida.  The black community of the Planned Parenthood Action Fund — which says it works to "protect and advance the sexual and reproductive rights of African Americans" — tweeted out that the Orlando massacre, committed by jihadist Omar Mateen, was caused by "toxic masculinity" and "a global culture of imperialist homophobia."

'Appalling': Rep seeks HHS probe as emails shed light on abortion clinic harvesting.  A fresh trove of documents released by a House panel probing abortion clinics and companies trading in body parts shows the extent of their fetal tissue harvesting operation — and what the committee's chairwoman alleges are violations of the law.  Rep. Marsha Blackburn, R-Tenn., head of the House Select Investigative Panel on Infant Lives, is now making a fresh request for a federal probe.  "I believe the investigation will move forward because this is so appalling," she told FoxNews.com.  One of the more striking exchanges was contained in a set of January 2015 emails.  When a customer inquired with company StemExpress about the availability of aborted tissue, an employee promptly emailed back seemingly while an abortion was under way:  "There is one case currently in the room, I will let you know how the limbs and calvarium [skull] look to see if you are able to take them in about fifteen minutes."

Clinton promises Planned Parenthood to prioritize abortion rights.  Hillary Clinton promised to stand by Planned Parenthood in a speech to activists from the group in Washington, D.C. on Friday [6/10/2016].  In her speech Friday, she thanked the non-profit women's health group for their support in the primary and highlighted her staunch support for abortion rights.  The presumptive Democratic presidential nominee warned the crowd that if elected president, her opponent Donald Trump would weaken women's rights.

If You Share Undercover Exposés of Planned Parenthood, You Could End Up in a California Jail.  The California legislature is considering a bill that would make it impossible to expose Planned Parenthood with recordings unless they give their permission, but it is even worse than that.  Anyone who publishes, shares, emails the recordings would also be held liable for criminal prosecution.  The bill moved to the State Senate last week.  This is a serious effort.  Abortion mills are the latest protected class.

Congressional Investigation:  Planned Parenthood Broke HIPAA Law to Sell Aborted Baby Parts.  New evidence has surfaced that the company StemExpress and a number of Planned Parenthood abortion clinics shared patients' private health information potentially in violation of the law while harvesting aborted baby body parts.  U.S. Rep. Marsha Blackburn said Wednesday [6/1/2016] that the Select Investigative Panel on Infant Lives discovered evidence that StemExpress and the Planned Parenthood abortion clinics appear to have violated the HIPAA privacy rule and Institutional Review Board regulations.  There also is evidence that they appear to have pressured women into consenting to donate their aborted babies' body parts, Blackburn said.

House investigation:  Planned Parenthood broke federal law in fetal body parts trafficking.  The House Select Investigative Panel on Infant Lives is calling for the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services to investigate whether several Planned Parenthood abortion clinics violated federal privacy law.  The Panel released new evidence Wednesday [6/1/2016] purportedly showing abortion clinics disclosing confidential medical information about patients in order to facilitate the sale of fetal body parts to procurement firm StemExpress.  Panel Chairwoman Marsha Blackburn sent a letter to HHS on Wednesday asking the agency to review the evidence and determine whether the Health Insurance Portability Accountability Act was violated.

California moves to criminalize undercover filming at Planned Parenthood.  In the wake of an undercover investigation into Planned Parenthood's alleged fetal trafficking operation, the California state legislature is considering a bill that would criminalize publishing secretly recorded video footage of "health care providers."  AB 1671, which has been backed by Planned Parenthood, would criminalize the publication of confidential interactions with state-licensed medical personnel, including abortionists and clinician staff, punishable by up to one year in prison and a $10,000 fine per violation.

Did the Houston DA's Office Abuse Its Power to Get Daleiden Indictment?  Did the Houston District Attorney's Office abuse its grand-jury subpoena power in order to help Planned Parenthood not only escape an indictment, but also turn the tables on the two undercover videographers who brought to light the abortion giant's fetal-tissue practice?  According to attorneys representing Center for Medical Progress undercover-video investigators David Daleiden and Sandra Merritt, Houston Assistant District Attorney Sunni Mitchell engaged in prosecutorial misconduct by working closely with Josh Schaffer, legal counsel for Planned Parenthood of the Gulf Coast, which was the target of the grand-jury investigation that resulted instead in the indictments of the pro-life advocates.

Exclusive: Planned Parenthood Lawyer Denies Collusion, Admits DA Gave Him Video.  The lawyer for Planned Parenthood who has been accused of colluding with the Harris County DA against the Planned Parenthood undercover videographer, signed an affidavit to deny this charge, but admits that a prosecutor gave him a copy of the undercover video.  As reported on April 14, Jared Woodfill, a lawyer for undercover videographer David Daleiden told Breitbart Texas, "We have clear evidence that the DA is colluding with Planned Parenthood."  The District Attorney in Harris County, Texas, is Devon Anderson.

Victims sue Planned Parenthood over Colorado shooting.  Two victims of last year's shooting at the Planned Parenthood clinic in Colorado Springs have filed a lawsuit against the group, claiming it should have done more to prevent the "foreseeable" incident.  Attorneys filed a lawsuit on Friday on behalf of Samantha Wagner, who survived a bullet to the arm and lost her friend in the shooting, and Ashley Stewart, who lost her husband in the shooting.

Planned Parenthood helping transgender patients with sex changes.  Planned Parenthood has found a new niche that could prove nearly as controversial as providing abortions: helping transgendered people through the sex-change process.  In the wake of last summer's undercover videos that appeared to show Planned Parenthood officials selling baby body parts for money — which is illegal — legislators in several states have looked for ways to deny funding to the women's health giant.  While Planned Parenthood has denied any wrongdoing, they have stopped accepting reimbursements for providing fetal parts to researchers.  However, the gender reassignment process may enable the organization to make up the lost cash by other means.

Planned Parenthood Closes Iowa Abortion Clinic Because It Couldn't Get Enough Customers.  Pro-lifers made a huge impact outside of the Dubuque, Iowa Planned Parenthood abortion facility, encouraging more than 20 mothers to choose life for their unborn babies.  Now the abortion facility is closing for good, saying it does not have enough business to keep operating, according to KWWL 7 News.  The Planned Parenthood closed on Thursday [4/28/2016] after operating at that location for eight years, the report states.

Planned Parenthood Email Shows Cruz Terrifies Them.  There's a reason that the Pro-Life movement hasn't seen very much action at the national level.  It doesn't matter whether a Republican or Democrat sits in the White House.  It doesn't matter which party controls Congress.  The only thing that can shake things up and shift the power in the battle against abortion and Planned Parenthood is a true conservative in the Oval Office.  That person is Ted Cruz.

Chuck Todd Tells Ted Cruz Planned Parenthood Scandal 'Made Up'.  During an MSNBC town hall event with Republican presidential candidate Ted Cruz on Thursday, Meet the Press moderator Chuck Todd dismissed the Texas Senator's condemnation of Planned Parenthood by insisting that scandal surrounding the abortion provider was "made up."  Cruz observed:  "You know, a few months ago, we had this series of videos that were horrifying.  I will say virtually none of the network news would show the videos on air.  These videos showed Planned Parenthood officials essentially admitting to what appeared to be a pattern of federal felonies."

California Department Of Justice Raids David Daleiden's Home.  The California Department of Justice raided the home of David Daleiden, the pro-life journalist behind the undercover videos exposing Planned Parenthood's harvesting and sale of human organs from aborted children.  Daleiden explained in a Facebook post that authorities with the California Department of Justice raided his home Tuesday afternoon and seized all video footage of Planned Parenthood employees' involvement in selling organs from aborted babies — including damning footage which has yet to be released.  Daleiden noted that the California Department of Justice serves under the authority of California Attorney General Kamala Harris, who has benefited politically from Planned Parenthood: [...]

Planned Parenthood: David Daleiden Speaks out on Home Raid.  Undercover investigator David Daleiden's home in California was raided Tuesday [4/5/2016] by officials under the office of California Attorney General Kamala Harris.  Harris has been investigating Daleiden for months, after his video exposé of Planned Parenthood's alleged baby-parts scheme.  His videos allegedly showed Planned Parenthood personnel actively negotiating the sale of the livers, lungs, hearts and other organs of aborted unborn children.

Abortion Activist Claims Planned Parenthood Videos Caused Raid At His Home.  An anti-abortion activist who made undercover videos at Planned Parenthood clinics said in a social media posting that California Department of Justice agents raided his home Tuesday [4/5/2016].

Planned Parenthood Activist Slams Hillary for Accidentally Calling Unborn Baby a "Person".  A Planned Parenthood "manager of community engagement" removed a connection to her employer from her Twitter account this week after criticizing Hillary Clinton, in a move that suggests that unconditional support for Clinton is key to the abortion group.  In a rare twist, the criticism was for Clinton not being pro-abortion enough.  The criticism came in the wake of Clinton's statement Sunday [4/3/2016] on NBC's Meet the Press that "the unborn person does not have Constitutional rights."  Though Clinton's statement was clearly intended to convey as pro-abortion a position possible, Planned Parenthood employee Diana Arellano criticized Clinton for "calling a fetus an 'unborn child,'" according to Newsmax.

California law enforcement officers seize Planned Parenthood videos, activist says.  Agents from the California Department of Justice raided the home of an indicted anti-abortion activist and seized undercover videos allegedly showing Planned Parenthood officials arranging to illegally sell fetal tissue for profit, the activist said late Tuesday [4/5/2016].  David Daleiden, the founder of the Center for Medical Progress, which released the videos, said in a Facebook post that agents had "seized all video footage showing Planned Parenthood's criminal trade in aborted baby parts, in addition to my personal information."  Daleiden added that the agents left behind documents that he contends implicate Planned Parenthood in illegal behavior related to the handling of fetal tissue.

Planned Parenthood president: It's important to 'really humanize' abortion.  Planned Parenthood President Cecile Richards on Wednesday praised an episode of ABC's "Scandal," in which the main character terminates a pregnancy, for its effort to "really humanize" abortion.

Gov. Scott Signs Bill Making Florida 12th State to Defund Planned Parenthood.  Florida Gov. Rick Scott signed a bill Friday [3/25/2016] that defunds his state's abortion clinics — including those run by Planned Parenthood — making Florida the 12th state to block state taxpayer dollars from going to the nation's largest abortion provider. [...] The new law, which goes into effect on July 1, prohibits any state funding to groups that own, operate or are affiliated with licensed abortion facilities.  Florida law currently allows state funding for non-abortion services.

Catholic Georgetown Defends Inviting Planned Parenthood CEO Responsible For More Deaths Than Pol Pot.  A few years ago the Daily Mail put together a list of the 36 most murderous dictators of the 20th century ordered by the number of deaths tied to their rule.  These men didn't personally go out and murder thousands, and even millions of people, but they were ultimately in charge of those who did carry out mass murder.  So they are credited with the death tolls of their regimes.  Using the same logic, why don't we ever hear that Planned Parenthood Federation of America (PPFA) President Cecile Richards is responsible for over 2.8 million deaths when she appears on television or is quoted in the press?  That figure is according to PPFA's own records of "abortion services" (babies killed) disclosed in their annual reports since 2006, when Richards took the helm at Planned Parenthood.  That's more attributed deaths than Communist Cambodian dictator Pol Pot and 29 other dictators on Daily Mail's list.  But the staggering statistic is never discussed.

The Planned Parenthood primary.  At the center of the debate over abortion, there is a battle over the legitimacy and public funding of Planned Parenthood, an organization that performs more abortions than any other group — about one every two minutes.  The battle over Planned Parenthood is a proxy for the fight over abortion and the culture wars generally. [...] Unsurprisingly, Hillary Clinton has offered full-throated support for the abortion giant, and in turn has received the Planned Parenthood Action Fund's first-ever primary endorsement.

Clinton Campaign Writes Checks to Planned Parenthood.  Planned Parenthood performs more than 300,000 abortions annually and generates 40 percent of its annual revenues through the government.  The billion-dollar organization receives about $500 million from taxpayers each year through Medicaid funds and other grants.  It received a large funding bonus from foreign policy agencies overseen by Clinton during her tenure as secretary of state, collecting more than $100 million for overseas services to the USAID.  Planned Parenthood has been especially active during this campaign season.  In January it made the unprecedented decision to endorse Clinton in the Democratic primary.

Did Trump Bankroll Planned Parenthood Abortionists?  After it was revealed this summer that Planned Parenthood was selling the organs and body parts of aborted human beings to biotech companies, Donald Trump said he wasn't sure if the organization should lose its federal funding.  He even went out of his way to praise Planned Parenthood's good work.  Meet the Press host Chuck Todd found Trump's stance interesting, so he asked Trump if he had ever been a Planned Parenthood donor.  "It's possible," Trump replied.

40 Reasons Not To Vote For Donald Trump.  [#19] Trump loves Planned Parenthood:  Although he claims to be pro-life, Donald Trump has repeatedly praised the baby-killing, baby-part-selling butchers at Planned Parenthood.  After being criticized harshly for refusing to cut off funding for the organization, Trump now mixes praise of the organization with unbelievable claims that he will cut off its funding.  Even Planned Parenthood doesn't believe Trump will hurt them because the organization's CEO Cecile Richards said she appreciated Trump's "kind words."  [#20]  Trump can't be trusted to pick a Supreme Court Justice:  A non-conservative who has kind words for Planned Parenthood and who thought his radical, pro-abortion sister would make a great justice if she wasn't related to him is not someone you want picking a replacement for Antonin Scalia.

Trump Peddles Bogus Statistic to Defend Planned Parenthood.  After undercover videos released in July showed that Planned Parenthood was involved in the trafficking of aborted baby body parts, Donald Trump said he wasn't sure if the Planned Parenthood should lose all of its federal funding.  He later shifted, saying:  "I wouldn't do any funding as long as they are performing abortions."  Trump has stuck to that line, but he has also offered a lot of aid and comfort to Planned Parenthood by arguing it does "wonderful things."  At Thursday night's [2/25/2016] debate, Trump said that "millions and millions of women — cervical cancer, breast cancer — are helped by Planned Parenthood."  Trump did not mention the fact that community health centers could easily provide non-abortion services to those women and that Planned Parenthood has been caught falsely claiming that it performs mammograms.  Trump went on to say that he would defund Planned Parenthood "because of the abortion factor, which they say is 3 percent.  I don't know what percentage it is.  They say it's 3 percent."  If Trump took the time to Google that statistic before repeating it on national television, he would have learned that it is wildly misleading.

Planned Parenthood Pres.: ObamaCare is Giving 55 Million Women Free Birth Control.  Planned Parenthood President Cecile Richards told a crowd of Hillary Clinton supporters, "as a result of the long, hard fight for the Affordable Care Act, 55 million women in America are getting birth control — and no co-pay."

U.S. judge grants injunction against anti-abortion activists.  A U.S. judge on Friday [2/5/2016] granted a preliminary injunction stopping the distribution of surreptitious videos taken by anti-abortion activists who alleged Planned Parenthood staff discussed the illegal sale of aborted fetal tissue.  The National Abortion Federation (NAF), a nonprofit representing abortion providers, accused the Center for Medical Progress and its founder, David Daleiden, in a lawsuit last year of illegally infiltrating and recording its private meetings.

Activist behind Planned Parenthood videos surrenders to authorities.  David Daleiden, one of two anti-abortion activists indicted after the release of a series of undercover videos purporting to document Planned Parenthood's sale of fetal organs, turned himself in to Texas authorities on Thursday morning [2/4/2016].  Daleiden told reporters after posting a $3,000 bond at the Harris County courthouse that he is grateful for the backing of his supporters. [...] Daleiden and a group of abortion opponents were also slated to deliver more than 100,000 signatures to the district attorney calling for the charges against Daleiden and parter Sandra Merritt to be dropped.

Missouri House committees release report on Planned Parenthood investigation.  After months of jointly investigating Planned Parenthood operations in the state, two Missouri House committees released a report Wednesday [1/27/2016] calling for new regulation of abortion facilities and increased legislative oversight of abortion providers in Missouri.

Look who's cheering the jailing of journalists.  You know the crack about how a grand jury would indict a ham sandwich?  Well, feature the hoagie that's been handed up in Houston, where a runaway grand jury has just indicted two anti-abortion activists for going undercover against Planned Parenthood.  Supposedly the prosecutor was going to be investigating Planned Parenthood, but the grand jury ended up indicting the investigators.  Now two young idealists could land in the big house for 20 years.  This for the felony of "tampering with governmental records," as The New York Times put it, "probably connected to their alleged use of fake driver's licenses to get into a Planned Parenthood office."

Pro-Lifers Demand Special Prosecutor as Planned Parenthood Rep Works for D.A. Who Indicted Daleiden.  The Texas grand jury indicted David Daleiden and another pro-life activist, Sandra Merritt, behind the videos.  Instead of prosecuting Planned Parenthood for selling aborted baby parts, Daleiden was indicted for buying them.  Daleiden and Merritt were charged with one felony related to tampering with a governmental record and a misdemeanor count related to buying human tissue.  The felony charge was in reference to the use of a fake ID.  If convicted, Daleiden faces 20 years in prison while Planned Parenthood officials face no legal consequences for their actions.  But Anderson is under criticism over the fact that a prosecutor in the Harris County District Attorney's office serves on the Board of Directors for Planned Parenthood and Anderson also failed to prosecute an abortionist known as the Kermit Gosnell of Houston who snipped babies' necks like Gosnell did.  That criticism is leading to calls for a special prosecutor to be appointed.

Justice For the Unborn Proves Elusive in Houston.  Yesterday [1/25/2016] a grand jury in Houston, TX announced that it would not seek charges against Planned Parenthood and would rather indict the makers of a series of investigative films that allegedly show the abortion giant participating in an illicit fetal tissue trade.

Planned Parenthood indictment: Punishing the pursuer instead of the perp.  On Monday [1/25/2016], a grand jury in Houston indicted two journalists who made the explosive undercover videos that feature Planned Parenthood officials discussing the sale of aborted babies' body parts while sipping wine in a restaurant.  A felony charge of tampering with a government record was filed against Center for Medical Progress(CMP) founder David Daleiden and CMP employee Sandra Merritt.  Mr. Daleiden also was charged with soliciting the purchase of human organs — as if he really intended to buy them.  The grand jury was initially formed to probe whether a Houston Planned Parenthood clinic was illegally selling unborn babies' body parts.  Instead, it indicted the people behind the sting.

The Editor asks...
Who's the more heinous criminal — the person inquiring about purchasing body parts under false pretenses, with no intention to make such a purchase, or the person who acts as a broker for those who dismember and dissect little babies to make those parts available?  Those of you who attended public schools before 1970 may recall the story of the Boston Tea Party of May 10, 1773, in which a group of tax protesters engaged in identity theft — disguising themselves as Indians — in order to get aboard three ships and toss hundreds of chests of British tea into Boston harbor, as a matter of principle.  They had to disguise themselves to accomplish this act, which was one of the origins of the Revolutionary War, i.e., the formation of this country.  Concealing their identity was a very minor issue in comparison to the wholesale destruction of heavily-taxed property.  History now repeats itself:  The presentation of fake ID to the Planned Parenthood people, in order to engage them in candid conversation, is practically nothing, compared to the ghoulish harvesting of organs for quick sale.

In Houston, a Dubious Indictment.  When David Daleiden, founder of the Center for Medical Progress, launched his now-famous investigation of potential organ trafficking at Planned Parenthood, he had to know that his work would place him within the Left's crosshairs.  Planned Parenthood, after all, isn't merely the nation's largest abortion provider, it's the centerpiece of the Left's efforts to normalize the killing of unborn children as merely one aspect of "reproductive health care."  It receives hundreds of millions of dollars in government funding, President Obama has asked God's blessings on the organization, and his administration defends it so fiercely that he once pledged to shut down the government rather than permit Congress to cut its public subsidies.

Texas prosecutor with Planned Parenthood link fuels bias charges over pro-life indictments.  Pro-life groups cried foul over Monday's [1/25/2016] criminal indictments against two Center for Medical Progress investigators because a prosecutor in the Harris County District Attorney's office is also a Planned Parenthood board member.  Lila Rose, founder of the pro-life group Live Action, called for a special prosecutor to review the Texas grand jury investigation into Planned Parenthood Gulf Coast.

Five Things The Liberal Media Won't Tell You About The CMP Indictment.  [#2] One of the prosecutors sits on Planned Parenthood's board of directors.  One of the prosecutors for the Harris County District Attorney's office that investigated Planned Parenthood revealed last year she sits on the board of directors of Planned Parenthood Gulf Coast. [...] [#3] David Daleiden is not being indicted for doctoring the videos.  Daleiden was indicted on a felony charge of tampering with a governmental record because he allegedly used a fake California drivers license with the intent to defraud Planned Parenthood, and on a misdemeanor charge of attempting to purchase human organs.

Planned Parenthood cleared, but 2 indicted over videos.  A grand jury convened to investigate whether a Houston Planned Parenthood clinic had sold the organs of aborted fetuses on Monday [1/25/2016] cleared the clinic and instead indicted the undercover videographers behind the allegations, surprising the officials who called for the probe and delighting supporters of the women's health organization.

Pair behind Planned Parenthood videos indicted in Texas.  Two anti-abortion activists who made undercover videos alleging Planned Parenthood illegally sold fetal tissue to researchers for a profit face criminal charges in Texas from a grand jury that also found no wrongdoing by the abortion provider.

Planned Parenthood Wants To Keep Damning Videos Hidden From Supreme Court.  The man behind the Planned Parenthood videos is now in a legal tussle with a judge whose ruling will keep the evidence hidden from the Supreme Court.  David Daleiden, the man who helped create the series of Planned Parenthood videos showing the organization accepted money for fetal body parts, filed a motion Friday [1/22/2016] to allow him to submit his evidence to the Supreme Court in a major abortion regulation case.  Currently, Judge William H. Orrick, III has a restraining order on Daleiden's videos, preventing him from sharing any more of the abortion videos he has taken or sending his videos to anyone.

Planned Parenthood Abuses the Law to Stop Dissent.  Last year, a number of academics penned a letter to the Obama administration demanding a criminal RICO (Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act) investigation into those who disagree with man-made global warming, following the lead of Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse, D-R.I.  As we wrote at the time, this would be an abuse of the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations law — a law designed to go after organized crime, such as drug cartels and the Mafia. [...] This time, Planned Parenthood and its affiliates (the nation's largest abortion provider, which is government-subsidized) are now trying to use RICO to sue various individuals and organizations who helped expose the attempted sale of fetal body parts for cash by various Planned Parenthood employees.  Planned Parenthood has denied any wrongdoing.

Planned Parenthood files suit against anti-abortion videos group.  Planned Parenthood filed a lawsuit Thursday [1/14/2016] against the anti-abortion activists who secretly taped the group's officials talking about the sale of fetal tissue and released the heavily edited videos last year.  The videos sparked a political firestorm in Washington, with Republican lawmakers accusing Planned Parenthood of profiting from the sale and trying unsuccessfully to strip the group of federal funding.

Bias alert!
The videos were "heavily edited," but everything that was edited out was immaterial, and the un-edited versions are available to the public.  Every news story on television is heavily edited.  Movies are heavily edited.  The only people who even mention that the Planned Parenthood videos were edited are those on the political left — in this case, CNN — because that sows the seeds of doubt in the readers' minds.

12 Key Numbers From Planned Parenthood's New Annual Report.  Planned Parenthood's financial profits are on the decline, according to the group's latest annual report, which showed the group is seeing fewer patients seeking fewer services.  While profits and private contributions are waning, government assistance rose by $25.3 million in the past year.  "This was definitely a bad year for Planned Parenthood as a business," Jamie Hall, a senior policy analyst in the Center for Data Analysis at The Heritage Foundation told The Daily Signal.  "They lost a significant share of their patients, provided fewer actual medical services, spent far more money on other things, made less profit, and became even more dependent on government funding."

Judge: Alabama must restore Planned Parenthood contract.  In a 66-page decision, U.S. District Judge Myron Thompson wrote that the governor's August letter terminating the contract with Planned Parenthood Southeast (PPSE) left the patients in the program without access to the provider of their choice, and would allow states to cancel contracts arbitrarily without giving parties an adequate basis of appeal.  Bentley canceled the Medicaid provider contract with Planned Parenthood after a series of videos purporting to show officials of the organization trying to sell fetuses and fetal parts surfaced.  Planned Parenthood says the officials discussed a fetal donation program, not sales, and that the videos were deceptive.  The organization has ended the donation program, which was limited to a handful of clinics.

Planned Parenthood wins eleventh-hour hold on Arkansas abortion law.  A federal judge rang in the new year by blocking an Arkansas abortion law from going into effect Friday [1/1/2016].  U.S. District Judge Kristine G. Baker wrote Thursday evening [12/31/2015] that "for now" she found enforcing some sections in Act 577 would cause a threat of irreparable harm to Planned Parenthood of the Heartland's two clinics and to their patients.

Planned Parenthood's New Annual Report: 323,999 Abortions; $553.7M in Government Money.  Planned Parenthood says in its new 2014-2015 annual report, which was released this month, that its affiliates around the country did 323,999 abortion procedures in the fiscal year that ended on Sept. 30, 2014 and that those affiliates received $553.7 million in "government health services grants and reimbursements" in the year that ended on June 30, 2015.  In its previous annual report, Planned Parenthood had reported that its affiliates did 327,653 abortions in the fiscal year that ended on Sept. 30, 2013 and that those affiliates had received $528.4 million in "government health services grants and reimbursements" in the year that ended on June 30, 2014.  Earlier Planned Parenthood annual reports say its affiliates did 327,166 abortion procedures in fiscal 2012 and 333,964 in fiscal 2011.

TX yanks funds from fraud-plagued Planned Parenthood.  Planned Parenthood's affiliate in Texas has been targeted again, this time for an HIV/AIDS program.  The state notified Planned Parenthood in early December that it will not be receiving $600,000 in funds for HIV/AIDS prevention program.  The Texas Tribune reported the Department of Health Services notified PP that a contract would not be renewed for 2016.

Planned Parenthood Killed 323,999 Babies in Abortions in 2014, Provided Less Health Care.  The Planned Parenthood Federation of America abortion business released its annual report today [12/28/2015] covering its activities for 2014 and the abortion company indicated it killed 323,999 babies in abortions.  Meanwhile, while the abortion corporation bills itself as a health care provider it provided health care to fewer patients in 2014 than the year before.  All of this comes at a time when Planned Parenthood is under heavy criticism for selling the body parts of aborted babies — and it has been exposed in 11 undercover videos doing so.

Planned Parenthood Says Hiding HIV From Sex Partners Is A 'Right'.  International Planned Parenthood Federation, of which Planned Parenthood Federation of America is an official affiliate, maintains it is a person's "human right" not to tell their sexual partners they are HIV positive if they don't want to.  It's all laid out in International Planned Parenthood Federation's booklet for HIV-positive youth entitled "Healthy, Happy and Hot."

Covert Planned Parenthood tapes remain sealed, for now.  About 500 hours of video and audio secretly recorded during meetings of abortion providers will remain under court-ordered seal — for now.  After hearing arguments Friday [12/18/2015], U.S. District Judge William Orrick did not rule on the National Abortion Federation's request for a preliminary injunction to keep the recordings under wraps.  While "I've concluded from the beginning I didn't see that there was evidence of criminal wrongdoing" in the making of the tapes, Orrick said, he would continue to weigh arguments that their release could put the providers at risk.

The Editor says...
The content must be pretty bad if the release of the recordings would put people in danger.  On the other hand, unless abortion-on-demand is stopped, thousands of other (very young) lives will be in considerable danger.

Deflated conservatives eye new tactics in Planned Parenthood fight.  Conservative Republicans are disappointed that the government funding bill does not defund Planned Parenthood, but say they are looking for compromise on the issue going forward.  The $1.1 trillion spending bill coming up for a vote in the House on Friday [12/18/2015] leaves Planned Parenthood funding untouched.  Cutting the funding would have been a deal-breaker for Democrats, but that is cold comfort for the conservatives who fought against the group this year.

Planned Parenthood unscathed in spending bill.  Planned Parenthood is praising Democrats in Congress after the spending bill released early Wednesday morning [12/16/2015] spared the organization from cuts.  As expected, the spending bill does not defund Planned Parenthood, a clear deal-breaker for Democrats, but the absence of spending cuts is still noteworthy given the intensity of the push to defund the group earlier this year.

Judge blocks Ohio from taking action against Planned Parenthood over disposal of fetal tissue.  A federal judge on Monday [12/14/2015] temporarily blocked Ohio officials from taking legal action against Planned Parenthood to enforce fetal tissue disposal rules, and Republican state lawmakers proposed new regulations for such disposal.

Poll defies narrative, shows most Americans favor GOP plan to defund Planned Parenthood.  A little-noticed poll is challenging the widely touted narrative that most Americans oppose GOP efforts to defund Planned Parenthood.  The nationwide poll conducted by the Robert Morris University Polling Institute found that 53.3 percent of those surveyed support moving federal funding from Planned Parenthood to community clinics that do not offer abortions, while 31.5 percent are opposed.

Planned Parenthood sues Ohio in dispute over fetal tissue.  Planned Parenthood sued Ohio's health director on Sunday [12/11/2015] in a dispute over how the organization's affiliates handle the disposal of fetal tissue in the state.

Planned Parenthood sues Ohio after being accused of 'callously' disposing of fetal remains in landfills.  Planned Parenthood sued Ohio's health director on Sunday [12/13/2015] in a dispute over how the organization's affiliates handle the disposal of fetal tissue in the state.

The Editor says...
In what courthouse does one file a lawsuit on a Sunday?

Planned Parenthood Admits Sending Aborted Babies to Landfills; AP Plays Defense.  The callousness towards human life at Planned Parenthood is such that it believes that the remains of preborn babies killed during abortions are just like any other "medical waste," and that sending them to landfills — or, perhaps even incinerators — is therefore "humane."  That's what one must conclude from reading an Associated Press report Friday evening which strived mightily to play defense for the beleaguered group.  The wire service's headline only described State Attorney General Mike DeWine as an "official."

Ohio AG: Planned Parenthood aborted fetuses end up in landfills.  Aborted fetuses from Planned Parenthood clinics in Ohio are ending up being disposed of in landfills, according to an investigation from the state's attorney general (AG).  The investigation, according to a Friday [12/11/2015] press release, concluded that the three Planned Parenthood affiliates in Ohio have sent fetal remains to companies that in turn disposed of them in landfills.  Attorney General Mike DeWine, a conservative Republican, said Planned Parenthood's practices in the state violated Ohio Administrative Code, which requires that a "fetus shall be disposed of in a humane manner."

Censored: Nets Ignore 'Landmark' Senate Vote to Defund Planned Parenthood.  The liberal media often say more by what they don't report than by what they do report — especially when it comes to topics that challenge their agenda.  During the Friday morning [12/4/2015] news shows, all three broadcast networks censored Thursday's vote to strip federal funding of Planned Parenthood.  While ABC, NBC and CBS turned a blind-eye, other traditional media outlets and the pro-life movement reported the "landmark victory."  The reconciliation bill, which would repeal key provisions in Obamacare in addition to defunding Planned Parenthood, passed 52 to 47.  If made law, the bill would transfer taxpayer dollars from the abortion giant to comprehensive health care centers.

Dems: A Nut Shot People Near Planned Parenthood. That Means You Should Fund Abortion.  The cynicism of the left is truly breathtaking.  Utilizing a shooting by a legitimately insane person named Robert Dear outside a Planned Parenthood facility in Colorado Springs, Democrats are now pushing for Republicans to stop talking about abortion and to keep funding it.

Networks Ignore Officer Killed in Planned Parenthood Shooting Was Pro-Life.  The Bible says, "Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you" and that appears to be the standard by which one man lived, who gave his life Friday [11/27/2015] protecting those he disagreed with on abortion.  But you won't hear that story from the media because the pro-life "Good Samaritan" doesn't fit their agenda.

PP and MSM condemning decent Americans.  [Scroll down]  Even after the release of numerous undercover videos exposing the shocking truth that Planned Parenthood has been illegally and callously harvesting dead baby body parts for profit, PP remains defiant.  The latest undercover video catches an abortion doctor selling prized aborted baby heads.  Undeterred, the mainstream media and Democrats remain rock-solid in their loyalty to PP.  Remember, Democrats and mainstream media are secular progressive disciples.  Abortion is their holy sacrament — must kill babies to save the planet (Goddess Earth).

Anti-Abortion Rhetoric Is Not Responsible for Planned Parenthood Shooting.  As many conservatives have pointed out, Floyd Corkins, who attacked the Family Research Council in Washington, D.C., in 2012, wanted to kill as many people as he could because he detested the organization's opposition to gay marriage.  Craig Stephens Hicks, an atheist who killed three Muslims in North Carolina in February, was supposedly a fan of Rachel Maddow and Bill Nye the Science Guy.  It is just as grotesque to blame Maddow or Nye for those crimes as it is to try to smear the average abortion opponent with the Colorado shooting.

The Irony Of Planned Parenthood Condemning Murder.  Last Friday's shooting near a Planned Parenthood facility in Colorado Springs, Colorado, once again ignited the flames of debate on both sides of the political aisle. [...] Pro-life voters, politicians, and organizations spend time and resources actively trying to ensure that every unborn baby has a chance to breathe oxygen and that every pregnant mother is supported and realizes she can offer her child up for an adoption instead of aborting.  The idea that these folks would even passively support the murder of anyone related to Planned Parenthood is so absurd one can only conclude it aims to distract from the sole issue here:  The Right supports life in all its stages and all its forms and sizes, and the Left does not.

Washington Post: The Problem Is Not Selling Baby Parts, But Exposing The Selling Of Baby Parts.  It's still interesting, but, not in a good way, how leftists who support abortion on demand will Blamestorm those who are against abortion on demand, blaming them all for the infrequent and small issues regarding violence against Planned Parenthood and other abortion mills.  Yet, they mostly refuse to acknowledge that people who yell Allahu Akbar and cite the Koran before blowing people up, sawing heads off, shooting up civilians, flying planes into buildings, etc, have anything to do with Islam in the least.

Report: Colorado Springs Gunman Registered to Vote as 'Unaffiliated Female,' Was 'Unknown' to Pro-Lifers in Area.  The gunman who opened fire in a Colorado Springs Planned Parenthood Friday was "unknown" to pro-lifers in the area and registered to vote as an "unaffiliated female" rather than a Democrat or Republican. [...] According to The Gazette, Colorado Springs Respect Life's (CSRL) Joseph Martone Jr. said Dear is "unknown" to the group.  CSRL is a pro-life group that "meets twice weekly at the Planned Parenthood for Mass on the mornings the clinic reportedly does surgical abortions."  Martone said, "Nobody seems to know him."

Planned Parenthood blames 'hateful speech' for clinic shooting; GOP leaders cite left-wing agenda.  Planned Parenthood officials on Sunday [11/29/2015] blamed the "hateful speech" of conservative lawmakers and Republican presidential contenders for contributing to Friday's deadly shooting at a Colorado clinic, but conservatives said the left is trying to use the tragedy for political gain and to again push for gun control measures.

The Editor says...
Be not deceived; God is not mocked:  for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.

Abortion industry already dancing on the graves of Colorado Springs shooting victims.  Ghoulish exploitation of the deaths and injuries inflicted in Colorado Springs last Friday was always in the cards.  What else would you expect from a movement that specializes in death?  Even so, the speed and facility with which Robert Lewis Dear, Jr., a troubled man with many eccentricities (including listing himself as a female on his voter registration and living as a loner in Unabomber-like shacks), has been propagandized as a pro-life activist (a murderous pro-lifer makes sense only in leftist fever swamps) is startling.

Planned Parenthood Sues Texas in Dispute Over Funding for Clinics.  Planned Parenthood said that the videos were deceptively edited and that the group did not do anything illegal or unethical.  Its officials said the state's decision to eliminate the group's Medicaid funding, set to take effect as early as Dec. 8, was politically motivated and without merit.  The nonprofit organization's lawsuit alleges that Texas violated federal law and the so-called Medicaid freedom of choice provision, which allows those enrolled in Medicaid to seek services from a qualified provider of their choice.

Planned Parenthood campaign asking for one-word description backfires badly.  Planned Parenthood Action Fund's social-media campaign asking for a one-word description of its work so far hasn't turned out exactly as planned.  Not unless responses like "deceitful," "barbarous, "villainous," and "scandal-ridden" were what organizers had in mind.

Planned Parenthood Paid $3 for Birth Control but Billed Medicaid $35, Former Manager Says.  A little-known whistleblower lawsuit accuses Planned Parenthood clinics in Iowa of wrongly siphoning millions of American taxpayer dollars with a series of complicated billing schemes aimed at increasing profits.  Among other dishonest practices, a former manager of the clinics alleges, Planned Parenthood staffers routinely purchased birth control pills for just under $3, billed Medicaid $35 for the same package of pills, and got reimbursed for $26.

Planned Parenthood and its defenders are degrading motherhood as we know it.  As a relatively new mother who still marvels over becoming one, I am sick at heart by the Planned Parenthood footage and wish I could undo what I've seen and heard.  But late last month, on my Facebook newsfeed, I noticed post after post from peers defending Planned Parenthood.  After ten videos uncovering this group's horrific practices, I wondered:  Why now are people jumping to defend this organization?

Six Democrats picked to investigate Planned Parenthood took $81,000 from its PAC.  The six Democrats named this week to the House Select Investigative Panel looking into Planned Parenthood's fetal-tissue practices have received more than $81,000 from PACs affiliated with the organization.  The conservative Media Research Center, using data from the Center for Responsive Politics, released figures Thursday [11/5/2015] saying the $81,000 represents campaign contributions from 1998 to 2016.

Boehner II: The Revenge — Ryan Will Fund Planned Parenthood.  Paul Ryan is a movement conservative.  But he may not be a good Speaker of the House.  Being a movement conservative means having conservative instincts on the issues:  recognizing the power and virtue of the free market, believing in a government that protects individual rights instead of forwarding imposed notions of material equality.  Being a good Speaker of the House means using all the tools at your disposal to stop the agenda of the left.

Latest Planned Parenthood Video Could Show Evidence Of At Least Brutal 3 Crimes.  Yet another undercover video has been released by The Center For Medical Progress exposing the disturbing practices of Planned Parenthood.  In the video, a woman identified as Dr. Amna Dermish, a second-trimester abortion provider for Planned Parenthood, discusses her attempts to perform an abortion while keeping the fetus' head, or calvarium, intact.  Dermish believes she is talking to potential buyers for fetal body parts. [...] The Center for Medical Progress claims that the new video is evidence of two crimes:  performing an illegal partial birth abortion and the sale or purchase of human fetal tissue.

Feds warn Texas over plan to cut Planned Parenthood from Medicaid.  The federal government has notified Texas officials that the state's attempt to stop allowing Planned Parenthood to receive Medicaid reimbursements may be illegal.  As it has after similar moves in Louisiana, Alabama and Arkansas, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services on Tuesday [10/27/2015] notified Texas officials in a telephone call that their attempt "may be in conflict with federal law," according to a statement.

Intact baby heads 'something to strive for'.  Getting intact baby heads is "something to strive for," according to a Planned Parenthood abortionist who operates at the abortion behemoth's business in Austin, Texas.  The comment is from Amna Dermish, who told undercover video investigators with the Center for Medical Progress:  "I haven't been able to do that yet.  This will give me something to strive for!"  And she laughs.  It comes in the 11th undercover video released by CMP exposing Planned Parenthood's trade in the body parts of aborted babies.

Frontiers of political correctness: banning the word 'too'.  Move over, Melissa Harris-Perry — it is getting crowded on the lunatic PC bench.  Joining "hard worker" (racist!) on the PC banned word list is "too" (sexist!).  That's right: an adjective and adverb positing that something is more excessive in some quality than desirable is now verboten, as far as the Huffington Post is concerned.  The editors there gave considerable space to Cameron Schaeffer, who identifies herself as a freshman at the University of Vermont, where her head has obviously been filled with victimology nonsense.

Planned Parenthood Abortionist Admits She Alters Baby's Position to Harvest Intact Heads.  In the 11th video released by Center for Medical Progress, a Planned Parenthood abortionist in Texas admits she alters the position of the baby during an abortion in order to be able to harvest an intact head for human organ procurement.

Hacker obtains, leaks 11 undercover Planned Parenthood videos blocked by court.  The website GotNews.com claims it has obtained and released "all" the remaining undercover videos of Planned Parenthood officials shot by the Center for Medical Progress (CMP), including videos that were blocked from being released to the public by a court order.  Eleven previously unseen videos have been uploaded to YouTube.  The website's founder, journalist Charles C. Johnson, said that an internet hacker named Andrew "Weev" Auernheimer obtained the footage and uploaded it to YouTube.

Texas Officials Have Raided Planned Parenthood Clinics.  Bad news for pro-abortion radicals in Texas.  Investigators have raided several Planned Parenthood clinics on suspicion of Medicaid fraud. [...] Their suspicions aren't unfounded:  Planned Parenthood has been found to have defrauded Medicaid on several prior occasions.  It should be interesting to see what Texas officials are able to uncover this time.

John Boehner selects GOP panel to probe abortion practices.  Outgoing House Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) on Friday announced his picks for the new Select Investigative Panel that will probe the practices of abortion providers like Planned Parenthood.  The new panel has been created in the wake of several undercover videos that revealed Planned Parenthood's questionable practice of selling aborted fetal tissue, and possibly profiting from the sales.

Texas health officials demand hundreds of documents from Planned Parenthood.  Texas health investigators on Thursday served orders for hundreds of documents at Planned Parenthood offices across the state, including patient records and employee addresses.  The move came three days after the state announced plans to pull public funding from the organization, energizing the national debate over the nonprofit's fetal tissue donation program.

State investigators demand thousands of documents at abortion clinics.  Continuing a growing state crackdown on Planned Parenthood, Texas health officials Thursday [10/22/2015] demanded thousands of documents, including patient records and clinical notes, from the organization's abortion clinics and health centers across Texas.  In surprise morning visits to Planned Parenthood offices in San Antonio, Dallas and the Houston area, investigators delivered written requests for records going back as far as 2010 from at least 10 of the organization's facilities.

Texas cuts Planned Parenthood from Medicaid.  The state of Texas on Monday [10/19/2015] informed Planned Parenthood affiliates that it was cutting off the organization from the state's Medicaid program — citing recently released undercover videos of as evidence of violations.  A letter from the Texas Health and Human Services Commission Office of the Inspector General went out Monday [10/19/2015] to inform affiliates they are believed to be "no longer capable of performing medical services in a professionally competent, safe, legal, and ethical manner," according to a copy posted by The Dallas Morning News.

Despite grisly videos, a majority are still OK with Planned Parenthood.  Despite a series of shocking, secretly-recorded videos of Planned Parenthood officers discussing sale of body parts from aborted babies, the American public still thinks favorably of the organization.  The new Gallup Poll found that 59% of 1,015 adults surveyed this month still have a positive overall opinion about the organization.

Meet the millennial who infiltrated the guarded world of abortion providers.  If people noticed that he seemed a bit stiff, they tended to write it off as an odd physical tic.  In fact, David Daleiden was probably trying to keep his hidden camera straight.  Daleiden, 26, is the anti-abortion activist who masterminded the recent undercover campaign aimed at proving that Planned Parenthood illegally sells what he calls aborted "baby body parts."

Planned Parenthood Will No Longer Accept Reimbursement For Fetal Tissue.  In an effort to move beyond recent controversy, Planned Parenthood announced Tuesday [10/13/2015] that it will no longer accept reimbursement for any fetal tissue it provides to medical researchers.  The organization has been the subject of negative attention in recent weeks following the release of highly edited sting videos recorded by an anti-abortion group alleging that Planned Parenthood illegally profits from its fetal tissue donation program.

Planned Parenthood stops taking money for fetal tissue donations.  Planned Parenthood announced Tuesday [10/13/2015] that it will no longer accept any reimbursement as part of its fetal tissue donation program, taking its strongest step yet to end the onslaught of conservative attacks against the group.  The group's president Cecile Richards disclosed the policy change in a letter to the National Institutes of Health, which she said was intended to "take away any basis for attacking Planned Parenthood to advance an anti-abortion political agenda."

Planned Parenthood Abruptly Ends Compensation For Fetal Harvesting.  Planned Parenthood clinics will no longer accept payment for their work harvesting and distributing aborted fetuses, the non-profit said Tuesday [10/13/2015].  Clinics will continue filling the demand for fetuses, but will "immediately" stop accepting money for the service, the group's president, Cecile Richards, wrote in a letter to the National Institutes of Health, reported The Wall Street Journal.

'Annuit Coeptis': Wondering if God Still Smiles on Us.  Since the release of the undercover videos exposing Planned Parenthood, the defenders of that organization and its good works have repeated certain inconsequential arguments.  The films were edited.  The image of a doomed infant kicking its legs as it lay in a pan is not the same infant referred to in a technician's horrifying account of mutilation and butchery, spoken over the image.  The filmmakers concealed the real explanation for the baby kicking away his few moments of life — he had been exposed, after a botched abortion.  Furthermore, the organization that made the undercover films is biased — a pro-life group with a dogmatic animus against the sort of practices merrily discussed by the physicians of Planned Parenthood over lunch.  And Planned Parenthood provides all sorts of valuable medical services for women — let us focus upon that, and not the side issue of infanticide.

'All Sorts Of Nasty': These 39 Yelp Reviews Of Planned Parenthood Clinics Will Horrify You.  The "story bank" is a public relations operation.  But check out these stories shared by Planned Parenthood patients on Yelp, a popular online customer review application, that won't be disseminated by Planned Parenthood's powerful public relations operation.

Dems catch GOP off guard with Planned Parenthood vote.  Democrats on the House Judiciary Committee temporarily overpowered their GOP colleagues to block testimony from an anti-Planned Parenthood witness during a hearing Thursday.  Rep. David Cicilline (D-R.I.), protested a graphic video about abortion procedures that was shown to the committee by Dr. Anthony Levatino, who has performed abortions.

House panel advances bill to gut Obamacare, defund Planned Parenthood.  Reaching for a GOP prize amid party chaos, the House Budget Committee approved a fast-track bill Friday [10/9/2015] to gut Obamacare and defund Planned Parenthood, the women's health provider steeped in controversy over its abortion practice.  The panel voted along party lines, 21-11, to use a budget tool known as "reconciliation" to send the legislation to the floor, hoping to then bypass a Democratic filibuster in the Senate and finally get a major GOP attack on the health care law to President Obama's desk.

Center for Medical Progress can release Planned Parenthood probe video to Congress, judge rules.  A federal judge in San Francisco ruled Tuesday that the pro-life Center for Medical Progress may comply with a congressional subpoena for undercover video footage related to its Planned Parenthood investigation despite a temporary restraining order.  U.S. District Court Judge William H. Orrick III said he would allow the center to honor the subpoena issued by Rep. Jason Chaffetz, chairman of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, overriding the objections of the National Abortion Federation, which requested the restraining order.

Planned Parenthood Can't Handle the Truth.  Planned Parenthood piously holds itself out as a benevolent, quasi-sacred entity, selflessly devoted to improving women's health.  It has consistently denied critics' claims that it performs no mammograms, but at the hearing, Richards unremorsefully conceded the charge and pretended she never said otherwise.  And it's not just about mammograms.  Americans United for Life has shown that under Richards' leadership, there has been a marked decrease in cancer screening and breast health services while there has been an increase in abortion.  Though Planned Parenthood peddles the misleading statistic that abortion only constitutes 3 percent of its health services, Richards indifferently confessed that abortion generates 86 percent of its revenue, excluding federal subsidies.

The Baby Butchers and Their Media Butchers.  The propagandists of Planned Parenthood don't want you to remember that earlier this summer the group apologized for the "tone" of one of its top officials, Deborah Nucatola, who casually hawked unborn baby parts to undercover journalists from the Center for Medical Progress as she swilled wine and chomped on a salad.  Not long after confessing that the "tone" of their butchers might cause offense, another top Planned Parenthood trafficker, Mary Gatter, joked about scoring a luxury car after haggling over $75 baby-organ price tags. [...] Ten lengthy, damning videos later, the billion-dollar abortion giant is in full-blown whitewash mode — and its bloodstained accomplices in the liberal media are out in force with their paint rollers.

Three Pinocchios:
The repeated, misleading claim that Planned Parenthood 'provides' mammograms.  The myth that Planned Parenthood actually offers mammogram X-rays to patients has been long debunked, and needs to stop being repeated.  Planned Parenthood does not administer mammograms, but it keeps being perpetuated by the group's supporters, including celebrities whose claims have a wide reach.  When Democratic lawmakers or other supporters assert that Planned Parenthood "provides" mammograms, this is highly misleading language because it could be interpreted to mean that the group directly administers the X-rays.  The group does not "provide" mammograms.  Rather, the situation is similar to other clinics where patients are referred to a licensed facility that can provide biopsies, X-rays or other specialized services.  It is slightly more accurate to say that women have "access" to mammograms via Planned Parenthood, though it's still slippery language.

Editing flap: TV 'edits' 5-hour Planned Parenthood hearing to 1 minute.  Network and cable TV news are coming under fire for repeatedly smearing as "heavily edited" the controversial secretly taped Planned Parenthood videos of officers discussing the sale of aborted fetus parts.  After Tuesday's [9/29/2015] five-hour House hearing on the issue with witness Cecile Richards, the president of Planned Parenthood, the media is being slammed for doing exactly what the producer of the videos did — and worse — editing hours of tape for a watchable news segment.

Analysis Makes Liberals Out as Liars, Proves Planned Parenthood Expose Videos are Authentic.  The attack from the left on the recent series of video exposes of the evil actions by Planned Parenthood is that the videos are "fake" or are "heavily edited."  But now an independent "forensic analysis" of these videos proves that the videos are real and that the liberals are lying.  These videos from The Center for Medical Progress are real.  They explicitly prove that Planned Parenthood murders babies so that it can sell their body parts for cash.

Cecile Richards: 'Abortion is Healthcare'.  lanned Parenthood president Cecile Richards affirms to Rep. Diane Black (R-TN) and other members of the House Oversight Committee her belief that:  "Abortion is healthcare."  Black, the author of a bill that passed the House and would redirect taxpayer funds from Planned Parenthood to other federally qualified health care centers that do not provide abortions, challenged Richards on why she dismissed her legislation as not acceptable to women when those other healthcare centers outnumber Planned Parenthood clinics 20 to 1.  Richards responded that they do not provide abortions and "abortion is healthcare."

Planned Parenthood Confirms: They Don't Do Mammograms.  Tuesday [9/29/2015], Planned Parenthood President Cecil Richards testified before a Congress.  During the five-hour-long hearing, Congresswoman Mia Love asked Richards how many mammogram machines Planned Parenthood has at their disposal.  Contrary to the organization's long-standing claims, Richards admitted they have none.

GOP: Planned Parenthood wasted millions on 'lavish' travel, parties.  The head of the House Oversight Committee is accusing Planned Parenthood of misspending more than $40 million in federal dollars on "lavish" travel, theme parties and a costly Manhattan office.  Rep. Jason Chaffetz (R-Utah) on Tuesday [9/29/2015] accused the organization of racking up "exorbitant travel expenses," including first-class flights, charter travel and entertainment costs that included $622,706 on "blowout parties" with celebrity guests.

Jim Jordan Unloads On Planned Parenthood President.  Rep. Jim Jordan unloaded on Planned Parenthood president Cecile Richards Tuesday in a congressional committee hearing insisting, "You can't say I'm apologizing for statements in one video and then not tell us what those statements were."

Planned Parenthood President: "We Look At How To Expand Into Areas Particularly Where There's Unmet Need.  At a Congressional hearing on the practices of Planned Parenthood Tuesday morning [9/29/2015], president Cecile Richards explained the organization's decision making that goes into opening new clinics in neighborhoods in order to expand their reach.  "We don't profit," Richards said to Rep. Paul Gosar, who was questioning her at the time.  "I don't actually look at how to profit.  We do obviously look at how to expand into areas particularly where there's unmet need."

Planned Parenthood president 'proud' of supplying fetal tissue.  Planned Parenthood President Cecile Richards will tell Congress Tuesday [9/29/2015] that she's proud of the group's involvement in providing aborted fetal tissue for medical researchers, in her first-ever appearance before a congressional committee.  Richards will testify to the House Oversight Committee as Republicans probe Planned Parenthood following a series of controversial undercover videos that have drawn widespread attention to its participation in providing and being compensated for fetal tissue.

Planned Parenthood Got $528M In Tax Dollars, Paid Cecile Richards $523,000.  Planned Parenthood received $528 million in government health services grants and reimbursements or 41 percent of its total revenue for the fiscal year ending on June 30, 2014 and gave its president, Cecile Richards, $523,000 in annual compensation.  "My annual compensation is $523,000 a year," Richards told House Oversight and Government Reform Committee Chairman Chairman Jason Chaffetz (R-Utah).

Planned Parenthood boss clashes with lawmakers over taxpayer $$, videos.  The head of Planned Parenthood clashed with congressional Republicans on Capitol Hill Tuesday over the group's taxpayer funding, while using her appearance to attack the group behind a series of disturbing videos showing her organization's workers discussing fetal tissue harvesting.  Cecile Richards, speaking before the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, claimed the videos were "deceptively edited" and "heavily doctored."  Yet just minutes before the hearing started, a forensic analysis said the videos "are authentic and show no evidence of manipulation or editing."

I Went To Planned Parenthood For Birth Control, But They Pushed Abortion.  [Scroll down]  I had to fill out a form.  On it you check the boxes of things you are willing to consider.  The options essentially broke down to a) abortion b) adoption c) parenting.  I chalked it up to alphabetical order that abortion came first.  At this point in life, I still solidly fell on the "I would never have an abortion, but other people should be able to" side of the fence.  I checked options B and C, took the test, and was taken into a room to hear my results.  Before getting those results, I was interrogated.

10 Stories The Media Won't Tell You About The Pope's USA Visit.  [#7] The Pope Equates Planned Parenthood to State-Sponsored Execution:  Some pro-lifers are probably dissatisfied with Pope Francis's comments about the sacredness of life during the congressional address.  Although he did affirm his staunch pro-life position when he exhorted Americans to "protect and defend life at every stage of its development," he immediately shifted the focus to capital punishment.

Cecile Richards 'Proud' of Planned Parenthood's Organ Harvest but Claims 'Minuscule' Activity.  In Planned Parenthood's first congressional appearance since the release of undercover videos, the group's president is defending its provision of fetal tissue for researchers and castigating Republicans for not investigating the anti-abortion activists who furtively made the recordings.

Lawsuit sheds light on dramatic increase in taxpayer funding for embattled NH abortion provider.  As the question of public funding for Planned Parenthood plays out on the state and national stage, New Hampshire's leading anti-abortion group, N.H. Right to Life, recently released Planned Parenthood of Northern New England financial statements, tax returns and other documents that it says show a well-financed organization that has doubled its funding from public sources in the past five years.

Pelosi: I haven't seen Planned Parenthood videos, but they're doctored.  House Minority Leader Nanci Pelosi, D-Calif., questioned the truthfulness of the undercover videos that show Planned Parenthood employees discussing the harvesting and sale of fetal organs, while admitting that she has not watched the videos. [...] "I also know that some of it is not real and you can create any reality that you want," she said, while admitting that she has not seen the videos, and has only read news reports about them.

Restricting Planned Parenthood's 'sickening' baby body parts trade.  We have all been so shocked and outraged by the videos portraying the grisly practices of Planned Parenthood.  These videos show abortions being altered so as to maximize the harvesting and resale of organs and body parts.  It really is sickening.  Today I want to outline for you what we're doing to hold this organization and other abortion providers accountable, and defend our unborn children and the values that we all hold dear.  First, to get answers for the American people, we are significantly ramping up our oversight and investigative practices.  We will move to establish a new select subcommittee that will focus its full attention, resources and subpoena power on getting to the bottom of these horrific practices.

Disgraced Speaker Worked Deal to Fund Planned Parenthood With Pelosi.  In all seriousness, Ted Cruz just unleashed several quotes of the year as the bumbling, incoherent, chain smoking loser known as John Boehner has decided to collect his long-anticipated 8-figure retirement bonus by transferring to a lobbying role on K Street.

Forget defunding — Planned Parenthood should be prosecuted!  [Scroll down]  The bottom line of the situation is this: if there was any doubt about what really happens when a woman chooses to have an abortion, those doubts have been removed by these videos.  We aren't dealing with a glob of tissue; we are dealing with a living human being who ends up murdered from this procedure.  And even if you don't agree with the reality of life beginning at conception, these videos have produced enough evidence to justify a full investigation into the illegal harvesting by Planned Parenthood of the body parts from these murder victims.

Senate rejects effort to strip funding from Planned Parenthood.  The Senate on Thursday [9/24/2015] rejected a short-term spending bill that would defund Planned Parenthood, thwarting the opening move by Republican leaders to avoid a government shutdown on Oct. 1.  Senators voted 47-52 on ending debate on the short-term continuing resolution, well short of the 60 votes needed.

It's not Fiorina who is wrong in the Planned Parenthood fight.  "Anyone who has watched this videotape, I dare Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama to watch these tapes.  Watch a fully formed fetus on the table, its heart beating, its legs kicking while someone says, 'We have to keep it alive to harvest its brain.'" [...] The videotape in question was put out by the Center for Medical Progress, an anti-abortion group that went undercover to record Planned Parenthood officials discussing the buying and selling of organs and tissue from aborted fetuses — some just shy of 20 weeks — to medical research companies.

Fiorina forces Big Media to face videos they've avoided.  You know the video series, now 10 episodes presenting an increasingly dark view of Planned Parenthood's cash-for-parts business.  You know, also, if you've been following it at all, that traditional media outlets have spent months avoiding almost any coverage of or comment about them. [...] To the extent there was any reporting on the Fusion GPS investigation by Big Media, it was essentially stenographer service for Planned Parenthood, and that was enough for pro-abortion pundits to declare the whole business debunked.  Enough of that.

Defenders Of Planned Parenthood Still Haven't Seen The Videos.  It doesn't take long for those will take a bullet for Planned Parenthood despite being caught on tape numerous times engaging in possible criminal activity, to admit they haven't even seen the tapes in question. [...] It was Martin Luther King Jr. who said:  ["]To ignore evil is to become an accomplice to it[."]  The defenders of Planned Parenthood continue to ignore the evil.  Whenever they defend the organization, they never use the word "abortion."  Doing so would force them to confront what Planned Parenthood does every year which is to abort over 300,000 unborn babies.

House votes to defund Planned Parenthood.  The House voted Friday to block hundreds of Planned Parenthood clinics from getting federal funds for one year, a vote that was meant to deliver a strong rebuke to the country's largest abortion provider, and also help avert a government shutdown.  The measure passed 241-187 Friday morning [9/18/2015] with the support of just two Democrats, and three Republicans voted against it.  It would halt roughly $500 million in federal funds, mostly through Medicaid and family planning dollars, to nearly 700 Planned Parenthood clinics around the country, unless the chain of women's health clinics agrees to stop offering the procedure.

The Editor says...
They voted to cut off funding of Planned Parenthood for one year.  Brilliant.  What will have changed after one year?

Arkansas judge reinstates Medicaid contract with Planned Parenthood.  A federal judge on Friday [9/18/2015] ordered Arkansas to temporarily reinstate its Medicaid contract with Planned Parenthood after the state blocked funding over concerns about secretly recorded videos released by an anti-abortion group.

Three Republicans Opposed House Vote To Defund Planned Parenthood.  The House voted to defund Planned Parenthood Friday [9/18/2015] with the support of two Democrats and all but three Republicans.  The (241-187) vote is an effectively symbolic response to a series of videos released by the Center for Medical Progress in which top Planned Parenthood doctors and officials discuss how and at what cost some of their clinics harvest and distribute aborted fetuses.  Republican Reps. Robert Dold, Charlie Dent and Richard Hanna sided with Democrats against the bill, which would defund Planned Parenthood for a year.  Every other Republican representative present, along with Democratic Reps. Dan Lipinski and Collin Peterson voted in favor of the defunding bill.

Defund Planned Parenthood to save the nation's character.  This week, the House of Representatives voted overwhelmingly to take federal funds away from Planned Parenthood for a year.  To understand why, one need look no further than the video series on Planned Parenthood that was released over the last couple of months by the Center for Medical Progress.  The videos contained substantial evidence that Planned Parenthood affiliates are breaking two federal laws — one forbidding the alteration of abortion procedures in order to preserve organs for use in research, and another that forbids the sale of aborted babies' organs.  Planned Parenthood has denied violating these laws.  Despite hints to the contrary contained within the videos, the organization claims that it only accepts reimbursements for its costs in preserving the body parts it sends to biomedical companies that use them.

Attorney to Congress: Planned Parenthood Given 'Privilege Other Providers Don't Get'.  In testimony before the House Energy and Commerce Committee Thursday, an attorney asserted that the Obama administration's actions to protect Planned Parenthood has given the nation's largest abortion provider a special privilege not given to other Medicaid providers, while also "robbing the states of control over their own state Medicaid programs to protect a politically powerful but ethically and legally challenged organization."

House bills hit Planned Parenthood, some abortion doctors.  Seeking to avert a government shutdown, Republican leaders drove a bill blocking Planned Parenthood's federal funds through the House on Friday [9/18/2015], hoping to contain conservatives' demands for a politically risky showdown with President Barack Obama by striking a quick blow against abortion.

Dems Try to Block Planned Parenthood Videos at House Hearing.  House Republicans showed the gruesome Planned Parenthood videos in a hearing today [9/17/2015].  Democrats tried to block them.  The hearing in the House subcommittee on health of the Committee on Energy and Commerce was to consider proposals to expand protections for unborn children who survive an abortion and also the federal ban on partial birth abortion.  Reps. Rep. Marsha Blackburn (R-TN) and Renee Elmers (R-NC) want the Congress to give states the right to withhold federal funding, especially Medicaid funding, if an abortion provider is even suspected to violating either the Infants Born Alive Protection Act or the Partial Birth Abortion Act.

Planned Parenthood Horror: "We sell fresh aborted baby eyes, hearts and gonads.".  The butchers of Planned Parenthood slaughter millions of unborn, partially born and new born children at will and for profit.  They seem to think it's funny when an intact fetus is delivered to a lab and the workers are shocked by it.  It's giggle-worthy when they sever testicles.  They blithely discuss skirting the law over fine cuisine and wine.  Breaking the law for these monsters is just part of doing business.  This video and all the others before it should go viral.  Every church out there should show them.  As hard as it is to watch, you can't combat evil, unless you can confront it.  These are demonic serial killers who are preying on the most helpless among us, our young.

Planned Parenthood Admits It's Terrified of Media 5x in New Video: 'Headlines Would Be a Disaster'.  Ironically, Planned Parenthood trembles in the face of its most faithful ally:  the traditional media.  The Center for Medical Progress (CMP) released a tenth investigative video Sept. 15, that showed Planned Parenthood executives discussing aborted baby parts for money as a "valid exchange" for a "fair amount of income."  The Planned Parenthood executives admitted terror and distrust of the media — and worried about becoming a public relations or "P.R. issue" that might make headlines.

'Everything We Provide is Fresh,' Planned Parenthood Leader Tells Undercover Camera.  As members of Congress consider whether to defund Planned Parenthood, a new video highlights the abortion provider's booming business in organs harvested from aborted babies.  "We've just been working with people who want particular tissues, like, you know, they want cardiac, or they want eyes, or they want neural," Dr. Carolyn Westhoff, Senior Medical Advisor for Planned Parenthood for America tells a hidden camera.  "Certainly, everything we provide — oh, gonads! [...] Everything we provide is fresh."

Planned Parenthood spent $5 million for Dems, $13k for GOP.  As Congress heads into a debate over whether to continue funds to Planned Parenthood, a Washington Examiner analysis shows that Planned Parenthood and affiliates spent almost $5 million dollars in election ads promoting Democratic lawmakers in 2014.  Additionally, Planned Parenthood has contributed $679,596 directly to federal candidates, $676,885 of that to Democrats, in 2014.  Planned Parenthood was in the top 10 percent of nearly 200 outside expenditure groups in 2014, and the analysis shows that the abortion giant spent $0 on ads attacking Democratic candidates.

2 Months: Networks Aired Only 0.13% of Planned Parenthood Videos.  Instead of watching the news, it's time for pro-life Americans to be the news — to use social media and word-of-mouth — about Planned Parenthood.  Because the networks won't.  Since July 14, the Center for Medical Progress (CMP) has released 16 hours, 11 minutes and 35 seconds of footage exposing Planned Parenthood's practice of harvesting aborted baby parts.  In those past two months, ABC, NBC and CBS have only aired one minute and 13 seconds of these videos (with audio) during their news shows.

Not Even House Hearings Can Break Nets' Planned Parenthood Blackout.  Say this for ABC, CBS and NBC:  they're nothing if not tenacious.  The networks have been diligent, even relentless, in their efforts to ignore the Planned Parenthood scandal, proving that when they circle the wagons around an ideological comrade, they stay circled.  The networks have maintained their blackout of news about the hidden camera videos from the Center for Medical Progress showing that America's largest government subsidized abortion mill trades in a robust aftermarket of aborted baby parts — and does so with all the sensitivity and humanity of an automotive chop-shop.

The War on Innocents.  Allowing the tax-funded expansion of Planned Parenthood's abortion industry to continue is national suicide.  This crisis must be confronted as the greatest internal threat facing our nation since slavery.  Ted Cruz and House conservatives are alone in this battle, insisting that any funding bill signed by Obama explicitly exclude tax funding of abortion.  Establishment Republicans have already capitulated the leverage of a government shutdown, with majority leader Mitch McConnell saying this is "another issue that awaits a new president with hopefully a different point of view toward Planned Parenthood."  Hopefully a different point of view?  Is that the rousing Republican response to Planned Parenthood's bloody desecration of human lives on the taxpayer's dime?

Planned Parenthood Deals Taxpayer-Funded Death.  Yesterday [8/19/2015], a new horror was revealed: America's taxpayer-funded abortion giant, Planned Parenthood, harvests organs from babies that are born alive, their hearts beating as they are dissected.  This evil practice goes beyond accusations that Planned Parenthood is conducting partial-birth abortions, or harvesting fetal tissue illegally.  Now we know that Planned Parenthood is engaging in an act that is murder in all 50 states — and reminiscent of Kermit Gosnell, whose House of Horrors shocked the nation.  Five states have defunded America's abortion giant in recent weeks, and Congress is investigating its practices.  Yet, at the White House, President Obama hypocritically condemned ritual harvesting by Africans even as his administration admits it is using Planned Parenthood's talking points in its own statements, and threatened spurious lawsuits against states that dare to defund Planned Parenthood.

Conservatives Prepare to Make a Stand on Planned Parenthood.  The make-or-break moment for House conservatives to defund Planned Parenthood is here.  Outraged by undercover videos on fetal tissue donation, conservatives are pushing to cut all federal funding for Planned Parenthood as part of legislation that would avert a government shutdown on Oct. 1.  Rep. Mick Mulvaney (R-S.C.), a founding member of the House Freedom Caucus, spearheaded a letter to House GOP leaders shortly before lawmakers' August recess that stated he and 17 other Republicans would not vote for any spending bill that continues funding for Planned Parenthood.

Abortion industry rejects oversight.  It should be a national scandal that the abortion industry fights viciously against any kind of medical standard of care to protect women, even when those efforts mirror its own internal recommendations.  The industry simply rejects accountability.  Recently, a federal appeals court upheld a Texas law requiring abortionists to have hospital admitting privileges near their practices.  Planned Parenthood, the nation's largest abortion provider, admits that women may suffer complications after abortions, including blood clots, hemorrhage, incomplete abortions, infection and organ injuries.  It further concedes that in Texas, at least 210 women a year must be hospitalized after abortions.

Survivors of Botched Abortions Will Testify Before Congress Against Planned Parenthood.  The House Judiciary Committee has announced that Congress will hold its first hearing on the Planned Parenthood scandal next week, following the recess.  Among the witnesses to provide testimony are two women who survived abortion attempts; they will speak from first-hand experience about the horrors of the abortion industry.  The first of a series of hearings, titled "Planned Parenthood Exposed: Examining the Horrific Abortion Practices at the Nation's Largest Abortion Provider," will take place on Wednesday, September 9.

David Daleiden says undercover team infiltrated Planned Parenthood by using 'magic words'.  David Daleiden says his investigators at the pro-life Center for Medical Progress were able to gain access to top Planned Parenthood officials by using "the magic words."  "It was definitely surprising to myself and to some of the other investigators on the team that when our investigators basically said two things to Planned Parenthood representatives — number one, you know, 'We love abortion, we think what you do is great, thank you,' and number two, 'We want to harvest your baby parts and sell them, and pay you money in exchange for that,'" he said.  "Those two statements were like the magic words that got us in the door," Mr. Daleiden said.

Baby Organ Harvester to Hillary: "You're My Personal Hero".  This week, the State Department released emails from Hillary Clinton's private server and one was from a Planned Parenthood executive praising her for promoting abortion and urging her to speak out against a measure in Kenya to include in its new constitution language asserting that "life begins at conception."  CNS News reports that in 2009 Clinton received an email from Planned Parenthood's vice president of public policy and advocacy, Laurie Rubiner, and she told her she was her "personal hero."  She thanked Clinton on behalf of their organization and asked her to speak against the Kenya initiative in her next trip to the country.

Planned Parenthood President: If Feds Won't Do It, We Need States To Defund Abstinence Programs.  Planned Parenthood President Cecile Richards, whose organization is arguing states cannot defund Planned Parenthood, said in 2008 that when Planned Parenthood failed to get the federal government to defund abstinence programs, they pushed for the states to do it.  During a Ford Hall Forum in Boston on May 28, 2008, Richards was asked about abstinence-based education:  "You said that this teaching of abstinence is 10 years old?  And how did that get passed?" a member of the crowd questioned.

Town hall anger fuels GOP bid to defund Planned Parenthood.  Town hall meetings held over the August break have driven conservatives in the House and Senate to ramp up their efforts to defund Planned Parenthood, which could make passing a critical funding bill this month difficult for Republican leaders.  Some of the conservative Republicans who huddled in a conference call last week tell the Washington Examiner that unless funding legislation strips money from Planned Parenthood, they'll vote against it, even if it is just a short-term bill.

2,000 Dem Staffers Invited to Screening of Planned Parenthood Videos; Only Three Watch — 'Horror Is Hard to Look At'.  The pro-life group Susan B. Anthony List invited some 2,000 Democrat staffers to attend a screening Thursday of the nine undercover videos that have been released by the Center for Medical Progress showing top medical officials with Planned Parenthood Federation of America discussing the sale of body parts of aborted babies.  Fewer than 10 Democrat staffers showed up out of the some 2,000 Democrat staffers invited, and only three actually watched the videos — just two of whom watched all of the 90-plus minutes of video footage.

Planned Parenthood gets $1M in ObamaCare grants.  The Obama administration on Wednesday [9/2/2015] awarded more than $1 million in grants to Planned Parenthood to help promote ObamaCare, a move that is drawing GOP criticism at a time when the healthcare provider is under congressional investigation.  Rep. Diane Black (R-Tenn.) blasted the White House's decision as "unconscionable" in light of allegations of illegal activity in the health provider's fetal tissue program, which has prompted key Republicans to call for a total defunding of the organization.  "A growing body of evidence suggests that Planned Parenthood broke federal law and now the Obama administration is thumbing its nose at Congress and taxpayers by using this backdoor maneuver to boost funding for the scandal-ridden abortion giant," Black wrote in a statement Wednesday.

Fetal-Tissue Procurement Manager: The Baby, 'It Just Fell Out'.  In the latest undercover investigative video of Planed Parenthood, a tissue procurement manager reveals that in some abortions, particularly with women who've had several births, the aborted child just falls out of the birth canal intact, although "the whole point is not to have a live birth."  The procurement manager, Perrin Larton with Advanced BioScience Resources, also reveals that "most of the time it [the baby] is not intact," and adds that often the "abdomen is always ripped open" and the organs "just get ripped up," but when "we have a smooth portion of liver, we think that's good."  Advanced BioScience Resources (ABR) is one of the organizations that acquires human tissue, including that from aborted babies, and provides them to researchers, many of them funded by the National Institutes of Health, which is part of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.

Kickbacks and Murder.  The sickening series of videos from Center for Medical Progress continues apace.  Today we get a look at the regime of payments and kickbacks endemic in the baby parts marketplace and troubling questions are raised about outright murder. [...] If the baby "just fell out," it would seem that means a live-birth, which as Larton says, misses the whole point of having an abortion.  The implication is clear, that the attending abortionist killed a baby that was very much alive and very much outside the mother.  The technical term for that is 'murder.'

New Planned Parenthood Video: Sometimes Intact Fetuses 'Just Fell Out'.  The Center for Medical Progress is out with another horrifying video exposing Planned Parenthood's practice of harvesting the organs from aborted fetuses for money.  One of the people that appears in this latest video is Cate Dyer, the CEO of StemExpress, whose sister was the health policy advisor for Republican Speaker of the House John Boehner until very recently.

Bombshell Letter Accuses Planned Parenthood of Stonewalling Law Enforcement.  The Center for Medical Progress delivered a blistering letter to Congressional leadership today [8/31/2015] accusing Planned Parenthood of violating numerous federal laws and of stonewalling law enforcement who may be investing charges against the abortion giant.  The letter is a response to a letter Cecil Richards, CEO of Planned Parenthood, sent to Congressional leaders last week making charges against CMP and its founder David Daleiden.  Daleiden's letter today turns Richards' letter against her.

Welcome to the United States of Alice.  As we slide further from what is good, beautiful, and true — from a sustainable, civilized culture — is it more shocking or predictable to learn that Planned "Parenthood" has been blithely selling body parts from aborted babies for profit for at least 15 years, according to an ABC News 20/20 investigation?  The organization scavenges from late-term abortions and even live-born infants.  After being exposed again in July, the organization's defense was to claim it facilitates the donation of human "tissue to scientific research that can help lead to medical breakthroughs... with full, appropriate consent from patients and under the highest ethical and legal standards."  Sounds like the Nuremberg defense.

No, The Planned Parenthood Videos Have Not Been 'Deceptively Edited'.  Good news, abortion fans!  Turns out the hours and hours and hours of footage showing Planned Parenthood officials discussing the sale of baby limbs and organs can officially be discounted and dismissed.  According to a report sent to Congress yesterday [8/27/2015], the videos are "heavily edited" and "inaccurate."  Whew!  Finally, we can revert back to completely ignoring the continued holocaust of helpless, innocent children.  What a relief! [...] Or maybe not.  Despite the claim, reported as fact, that the videos are "totally manipulated" and "altered," making them essentially worthless as evidence, the truth remains exactly the same.  Planned Parenthood sells dead baby parts.  This is a fact, and it has not been even remotely debunked.

Planned Parenthood admits it manipulates rules on fetal organ sales to maximize profit.  In a letter to Congress intended to defend its practices and attack its hidden-video critics, Planned Parenthood wound up lending credence to accusations that it manipulates rules on selling fetal organs to maximize profit.  Cecile Richards, president of the Planned Parenthood Federation of America, admitted in an 11-page letter Thursday [8/27/2015] that its affiliates have accepted payments ranging from $45 to $60 "per tissue specimen" from abortions, but said that they were reimbursements to cover costs, which federal law allows.

Planned Parenthood Provides the Perfect Cover for Rape and Child Abuse.  A recent investigation of Planned Parenthood in Alabama says they failed to report the rape of a minor to whom they aborted two children in four months.

Hillary Clinton Says You Are A Terrorist if You Want to Defund Planned Parenthood.  So, have the video exposes of Planned Parenthood stirred your disgust and caused you to want to work to have our various governments defund Planned Parenthood?  Well, Hillary says YOU are a terrorist.

Planned Parenthood: "That Was a Dead Premature Baby Pretending to Be an Aborted Fetus."  Planned Parenthood wants you to know that wasn't a fetus but a 19-week stillborn baby that they would have gladly killed if paid.  A recent news story shows how Planned Parenthood is pretending that the videos catching them in their ghoulish, Hannibalesqe commerce are fraudulent.  Based on the high risk they are taking in their PR strategy, we can deduce they must be really worried!

If Abortion Is OK, then Why Shouldn't Women Conceive In Order to Sell Livers and Brains?  Supposedly there is some vast difference between a stillborn baby and an aborted fetus.  But if Planned Parenthood is really so confident of that "fact" (which is really just a stupid lie), then why don't they go all the way?

Colorado won't investigate Planned Parenthood.  Colorado will not join at least 10 other states investigating Planned Parenthood over allegations by a pro-life group that the abortion provider illegally trafficked in fetal body parts.  Colorado Attorney General Cynthia Coffman says state law requires the investigation be conducted by the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment, or CDPHE, which told 9NEWS Tuesday [8/25/2015] that it has no plans to investigate Planned Parenthood.

Republicans should stop wasting time attacking Planned Parenthood.  Several Republican governors have moved to cut off funds, including Gov. Bobby Jindal of Louisiana, a state with just two Planned Parenthood clinics that don't even perform abortions.  Energizing the fight, which threatens to complicate this fall's federal budget negotiations and could lead to a government shutdown, are notorious sting videos from the so-called Center for Medical Progress targeting Planned Parenthood officials.  But for all the outcry the videos have caused, they reveal nothing that changes the substance of the debate over abortion.

The Editor offers a line-by-line rebuttal:
Even if the Lousiana Planned Parenthood clinics do not perform abortions (and how do we know they don't?), they can still provide referrals and share funding with other Planned Parenthood clinics.  The Washington Post writer invokes the low-level terrorism of a government shutdown, as if that would be a bad thing.  All fifty states have governments, and the only people worried about a government shutdown are those who get paychecks and handouts from the feds.  Send all the "non-essential personnel" home permanently if Planned Parenthood is that important to them.  The Washington Post writer mentions "notorious sting videos."  The videos aren't notorious, it is the baby-killing butcher shop depicted in the videos that's notorious.  The videos might be characterized as a "sting," yet a sting doesn't usually catch people doing what they are not inclined to do.  The videos have merely exposed that which has gone on in secret for years, aided by the silence of the news media on this gruesome subject.  The claim that the videos "reveal nothing that changes the substance of the debate" is a vicious canard:  The debate was suppressed and silenced for years, and the general public was indifferent about abortion until they found out what an abortion really is.  Now the public (unless they get their information from network TV news) knows that abortion clinics kill viable babies, cut them up, and sell their organs and body parts — if not whole babies.  At the end of the excerpt above, I stopped reading the Washington Post article, but I'm confident that the rest of it was similarly deceptive and misleading.

Born alive? 'Intact specimens' in new abortion video.  The new video reveals the stunning possibility that some aborted babies are being legally "born alive."  Earlier videos have revealed Planned Parenthood executives callously negotiating for the best price for the remains of the unborn.  One executive fretted about being "low-balled" and suggested if the prices should be higher, they could be adjusted.  She was the same executive who said, "I want a Lamborghini."  The newest video, the eighth in the CMP series, was released after a judge in California ruled Friday [8/21/2015] that the organization had a First Amendment right to release it.

Questions Every Planned Parenthood Supporter Should Have To Answer.  [Scroll down]  If a baby is outside the womb, with lungs, a beating heart, and a functioning brain, is it alive?  And if it is, is killing that baby morally wrong?  If not, do you support the unlimited right of women to dismember viable fetuses whenever they want for whatever reason they like?  If so, what is the limit?  Before 20 weeks?  Before 30 weeks?  A week before the delivery date?  Before the umbilical cord is removed?  When does the child deserve protection?  (The position of most elected Democrats, incidentally, is never.)  Do you believe it's moral for a Planned Parenthood technician to cut through the face of a healthy fetus in order to harvest his organs?  If so, do you believe taxpayers should be funding this practice?  What is the moral difference between killing a viable fetus and a five-day old child?

StemExpress CEO Laughs: 'I've Seen Really Rampant, Rampant Problems with Bacteria in Certain Clinics'.  A transcript released by Center for Medical Progress founder David Daleiden features StemExpress CEO Cate Dyer — who purchased most of her company's aborted baby parts from Planned Parenthood clinics — laughing about the unsanitary conditions in some of those clinics.

7th Planned Parenthood Video Exposes Illegal Partial-Birth Abortion Activity.  So far, the undercover videos by The Center for Medical Progress have revealed that Planned Parenthood is illegally profiting from the sale of fetal body parts, a felony.  Now, there is substantial evidence the abortion provider is manipulating its procedures and performing illegal partial-birth abortions in order to ensure the fetuses come out intact for sale.  Due to the illegal profit incentive, Planned Parenthood stands to make much more money from delivering intact, whole fetuses.  The new video released Wednesday [8/19/2015] shows Planned Parenthood leadership and its affiliates explaining precisely how they modify the process to get these intact fetuses — it doesn't get much more incriminating than that.

If the Satanists are in agreement with Planned Parenthood, what does that tell you?
Satan worshipers drench women with milk in Planned Parenthood counter-protest.  Satan worshipers launched a counter-protest against pro-lifers outside the Detriot and Ferndale, Michigan Planned Parenthood locations Saturday [8/22/2015].  Clad in black robes, members of the Satanic Temple of Detriot drenched bound women with milk, simulating water-boarding to "illustrate the theocratic agenda imposed upon female bodies."  The milk symbolized breast milk, one of the protest organizers explained on Facebook.

No funding for Planned Parenthood — no problem.  Starting in 2012 Texas excluded Planned Parenthood clinics from the state family planning program.  Instead, state health funding went to other facilities that did not perform abortions.  Much has been made of a Texas Health and Human Services Commission report that found a 54 percent decline in claims submitted for contraceptives between 2011 and 2013.  However, the most important metric is not contraceptive claims, but rather unintended pregnancies.  And in Texas, both the birth rate and the abortion rate have declined since 2011.  In short, even after the state of Texas defunded Planned Parenthood, there is absolutely no evidence to suggest that the unintended pregnancy rate increased.

Questions Every Planned Parenthood Supporter Should Have To Answer.  Question for the media:  Do you believe there are two legitimate sides to the abortion debate?  If so, should your theoretically unbiased editors and reporters be accepting awards from the best-funded and best-connected advocates for abortion in the country?  Planned Parenthood handed out its Maggie Awards for Media Excellence earlier this week (named after the xenophobe quackologist Margaret Sanger), honoring 16 journalists from mainstream outlets like Buzzfeed, Yahoo! Health and MSNBC, for their work shilling for the group.  Color me skeptical, but does anyone believe a senior health editor who accepts this honor can be trusted to ask questions that matter about the groups she covers?

CMP Releases Video #8 — Stem Express Purchasing and Selling "Fully Intact" Babies.  In the video, Cate Dyer, the CEO of StemExpress, is shown in a lunch meeting with undercover operatives posing as representatives of a biotech firm. Dyer is laughing about how StemExpress purchases fully intact aborted babies from Planned Parenthood.  She laughs about how shippers of the aborted babies would give a warning to lab workers to expect such a baby.  "Oh yeah, if you have intact cases — which we've done a lot — we sometimes ship those back to our lab in its entirety," she says.

Court Removes Injunction on Planned Parenthood Video, New Video Immediately Released.  Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Joanne O'Donnell ruled on Friday afternoon [8/21/2015] the Center for Medical Progress has First Amendment rights to release videos it covertly took of StemExpress executives talking about buying aborted baby tissue from Planed Parenthood.  Almost immediately afterwards, CMP released a new video that among other thing showed the StemExpress CEO joking about receiving dead babies from Planned Parenthood (over lunch).  This latest video is only two minutes long and is more of a trailer of things to come.

StemExpress CEO: Techs 'Freak Out' When Receiving Whole Baby Heads in the Mail.  A Federal Judge lifted the temporary restraining order blocking the Center for Medical Progress from releasing a video taken secretly with StemExpress CEO Cate Dyer.  As the order was lifted, CMP immediately released a transcript of the conversation in advance of StemExpress trying to get another restraining order.  David Daleiden, founder of CMP, told Breitbart News he is working feverishly to cut a new video.  The transcript paints a graphic picture.

Here Are the Names of More Companies That Donated to Planned Parenthood.  The 2013-14 annual report for Planned Parenthood of Southern New England — an affiliate of the national organization that operates in Connecticut and Rhode Island — lists companies that have contributed to the organization.  The revelation comes weeks after Planned Parenthood removed the names of 41 corporate donors from its website following a Daily Signal investigation.  Three of those companies — Coca-Cola, Ford and Xerox — publicly objected to their inclusion on Planned Parenthood's list.

Planned Parenthood losing social-media war sparked by undercover videos.  Planned Parenthood for America is losing the social-media war in the aftermath of undercover videos on its fetal-tissue donations from abortions, according to an analysis released Friday [8/21/2015].  NetBase, a Silicon Valley firm that analyzes social-media trends, found that "net sentiment" toward Planned Parenthood turned "decisively negative" after the July 14 release of the first video by the pro-life Center for Medical Progress.

Pro-Planned Parenthood Rally At Governor's Mansion in Louisiana Draws Paltry Crowd.  Around two dozen pro-Planned Parenthood protesters stood outside the governor's mansion in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, Thursday [8/20/2015] to protest Governor Bobby Jindal's recent decision to have the abortion provider investigated and defunded.  When the Jindal administration caught wind of Planned Parenthood's plan to hold a protest in the pro-life governor's front yard, they came up with a brilliant plan to counter them.  Jindal had a huge screen set up outside the governor's mansion, and ran each of the seven disturbing expose videos of Planned Parenthood on a continuous loop for the duration of the protest.

Congressional Democrats probe group that revealed Planned Parenthood videos.  Congressional Democrats have opened their own investigation into the Planned Parenthood videos — but into the group that took the footage in which officials haggle over the prices of organs and discuss keeping a baby alive so his brain can be harvested.  The Center for Medical Progress may have broken federal laws in setting up a false-front company to secretly record Planned Parenthood employees talking about these and other practices, the Democrats say.

16 Journalists Accept Planned Parenthood Awards — Despite Horrifying Abortion Videos!  While the media stay away from the recent videos exposing Planned Parenthood's trafficking of aborted baby parts, they are drawn to Planned Parenthood's annual media awards ceremony.  During Planned Parenthood's Maggie Awards for Media Excellence Tuesday night [8/18/2015], the abortion giant recognized 16 journalists for pushing "reproductive rights."  From Buzzfeed and Yahoo! to MSNBC, MRC Culture compiled a list of several prominent media attendees — and found a picture announcing the winners.

Latest Planned Parenthood Video Exposes Potential Infanticide.  The seventh video from the Center for Medical Progress features testimony from Holly O'Donnell, a former procurement technician at StemExpress, a California company that — until recently — acquired (purchased?) aborted baby parts from Planned Parenthood.  It's horrifying.  No, it's beyond horrifying.  It describes an act of infanticide that even America's barbaric child-killing legal regime defines as murder.

PPFA May Keep Aborted Babies Alive 'Until Their Hearts are Cut Out'.  Dr. Theresa Deisher is a world-renowned scientist in the field of stem cell research who holds patents after discovering adult stem cells in human hearts.  Deisher helped the pro-life activists who spent three years recording undercover videos and capturing documents and information showing the Planned Parenthood abortion business selling aborted babies and their body parts.  Now, in a new interview, Deisher says she has reviewed the information the activists collected and she is making a shocking claim that Planned Parenthood may be keeping some babies alive after the abortion procedure in order to better collect their organs for harvesting — such as their hearts.

7th Planned Parenthood Video Might Be Worst of All.  Today's episode:  How to secure a valuable intact "calvarium" (head; whole brains are rare and highly desirable).

Planned Parenthood threatens legal action against makers of videos.  Planned Parenthood is considering legal action against the pro-life organization that has released a series of secretly recorded videos scrutinizing the health provider's fetal tissue donation program.  In an exclusive interview with The Hill, Planned Parenthood Executive Vice President Dawn Laguens said she believes the videos are illegal and that her organization is "considering everything" in going after the Center for Medical Progress, the group behind the videos.

Now We Know Why Reporters Won't Cover The Planned Parenthood Videos.  Earlier this week, a seventh video detailing Planned Parenthood's gruesome organ-trafficking operation was released.  In it, a former procurement technician who worked with the organization described how Planned Parenthood harvested a brain from a baby boy whose heart was still beating.  If you use BuzzFeed as your primary source of news, however, you'd know nothing about the story.  The same goes for the video in which a top Planned Parenthood official said she needed a good price on aborted baby organs because, "I want a Lamborghini."  That little detail was also never reported.  In fact, it's been over a month since BuzzFeed published any standalone stories featuring details from newly released undercover videos.

Rep. Mia Love breaks down in tears over Planned Parenthood videos.  Freshman Rep. Mia Love, R-Utah, had to wipe away tears while talking about the undercover Planned Parenthood videos on the Fox Business network Wednesday night [8/19/2015].  "It's our job to protect those who do not have a voice to protect themselves, and to see what is actually happening to babies while they're still alive, I mean, it's horrific," said Love.

Planned Parenthood kept aborted babies alive to harvest organs, ex-technician says.  In an undercover video released Wednesday [8/19/2015], a former technician for a tissue-harvesting company details how an aborted baby was kept alive so that its heart could be harvested at a California Planned Parenthood facility, raising more legal questions about the group's practices.  Holly O'Donnell, a former blood and tissue procurement technician for the biotech startup StemExpress, also said she was asked to harvest an intact brain from the late-term, male fetus whose heart was still beating after the abortion.

New Planned Parenthood Horror Video: Whistleblower Says Baby Born, Heart Beating When Killed.  The Center for Medical Progress released video #7 this morning [8/19/2015], and if you can get through the entire thing without crying and becoming nauseous, you are made of sterner stuff than most.  Today's video continues the interview with former StemExpress procurement technician Holly O'Donnell, who describes an instance when she saw her supervisor tap the chest of "the most gestated fetus and closest thing to a baby I've seen," and the heart started beating.

Planned Parenthood Clinic Cut Through Dead Baby's Face to Get to His Intact Brain.  In the latest video produced by the Center for Medical Progress, Holly O'Donnell describes a medical technician using scissors to cut through the face of a newly aborted but nearly fully developed baby boy at a Planned Parenthood facility so that his intact brain could be extracted.

Latest Disgusting Planned Parenthood Expose Video Harvesting The Brain of Baby Born Alive.  The seventh expose video is out exposing the Mengele-like horrors that Planned Parenthood commits on a daily basis.  This time The Center for Medical Progress shows PP ripping the brain out of a baby born alive so that it can sell the organ to a research facility.  There is no doubt at all that Planned Parenthood is murdering babies for profit. [...] They are outright murdering babies born alive so they can sell human body parts and organs.  And, folks, YOUR taxes are going to pay for this horror show.

Planned Parenthood and the Eugenics Movement.  Today we're told there is no other way to achieve the research results we desire, because fetal tissue is a "uniquely rich source" of stem cells, which provide invaluable clues to human development.  Second, we're led to believe that research on aborted babies will heal diseases, eradicate physical defects, and greatly enhance the human condition.  And finally, we're warned that prohibiting medical experimentation of this kind would mean "subordinating science to religion."

Arkansas ending Medicaid payments to Planned Parenthood.  Arkansas is ending its Medicaid payments to Planned Parenthood, Republican Gov. Asa Hutchinson said Friday [8/14/2015], despite warnings federal officials have given other states that such a move could violate the law.

Obama Administration Threatens States Attempting to Defund Planned Parenthood.  The Obama administration is threatening states attempting to defund Planned Parenthood — those trying to stop the flow of their Medicaid funds to the abortion provider — with potential violation of federal law and, ultimately, the cutting off of Medicaid funds to those states.

Flashback: Planned Parenthood lobbyist argues for killing babies born alive after failed abortion.  Even as a Philadelphia abortionist stands trial for murder for having severed the spinal cords of babies born alive, a lobbyist for Planned Parenthood is attempting to persuade Florida lawmakers that health providers presiding over botched abortions should finish what they started.

Do We Destroy Life to Enhance Life?  Years before Hitler wrote Mein Kampf, German scholars were advocating the killing of "worthless" people under the protection of the state.  On April 7, 1933 the Nazis eliminated "long established ethical and administrative public supervisory bodies" when they introduced the "law for the Prevention of Genetically Diseased Offspring."  Euthanasia and experimentation on human subjects became the Nazi norm.  The purveyors of Nazism saw their system as "applied biology."  Can one draw a parallel with the Nazi "applied biology" ideology and the recent revelations of Planned Parenthood's selling of baby parts?

StemExpress cuts ties with Planned Parenthood after 6th video challenges consent process.  I believe this is known as cutting your losses.  Caught up in a firestorm of controversy over its connections to Planned Parenthood and facing questions from a former employee over whether informed consent was given for organ harvesting in their clinics, StemExpress said adios to its partner today.

Human tissue firm cuts ties with Planned Parenthood after videos.  StemExpress, one of the tissue companies that works with Planned Parenthood, is cutting its ties with the women's health organization after a series of sting videos that have prompted congressional inquiries.  "We value our various partnerships but, due to the increased questions that have arisen over the past few weeks, we feel it prudent to terminate activities with Planned Parenthood," the company said in a statement.

Obama Admin Threatens States That Defunded Planned Parenthood.  Alabama and Louisiana of course had made the decision to defund Planned Parenthood after a series of secretly recorded videos came out exposing that the group sells babies' body parts, among other disturbing practices.  But is what these states are doing really illegal?

Planned Parenthood workers, PACs donated $25M to Dems since 2000.  The financial ties between Planned Parenthood and Democrats run deep, with the taxpayer-funded women's health care and abortion provider's employees and political arms donating at least $25 million to party lawmakers over the past 15 years, according to a FoxNews.com analysis.  The money, which flowed through an extensive web of Planned Parenthood employees, political action committees and soft-money donors accounts for 99 percent of all political donations linked to Planned Parenthood, leaving little doubt about the partisan preference of the organization.

Court Bars Stemexpress from Access to Journalistic Materials Used to Expose Planned Parenthood's Sale of Aborted Baby Parts.  The Superior Court of the State of California ruled Thursday [8/13/2015] that biomedical company StemExpress has no right to access the journalistic materials of the Center for Medical Progress (CMP) which were used to expose Planned Parenthood's practice of harvesting and selling the aborted baby body parts to such companies.

Planned Parenthood's Grisly Practices Worse Than Massive Abortion.  Yes, there were "legal" abortions being performed in a few states prior to the Supreme Court's 1973 ruling. States where abortion had been "legalized" were classified by many as outcasts or worse.  But once the 7-2 Court decision destroyed all state laws banning the practice, the number of abortions skyrocketed.  Since 1973, the lives of more than 57 million infants have been snuffed out.  The largest U.S.-based agency committing this crime, with facilities throughout the nation, is Planned Parenthood.  Not only has the highest court in our nation given a green light to these baby killers, Planned Parenthood receives federal funding that fuels such work.  In the single year of 2014, for instance, Planned Parenthood received $528 million taken from taxpayers, many of whom intensely abhor the practice.  In that year, the number snuffed out in the womb by Planned Parenthood totaled 327,000.  These were all live infants needing only a few more weeks of not being molested before they could exist outside their mother's womb.  That Americans allow this to occur, and allow themselves to be taxed to fund it, is a severe indictment of our entire nation.

Planned Parenthood scandal slipping off media's radar.  Planned Parenthood's organ harvesting scandal is fading fast from media's focus, even as the pro-life activist group that broke the story continues to release jarring undercover video.  The front pages of top news websites, including Yahoo and the Huffington Post, made no mention Wednesday [8/12/2015] of the latest video from the Center for Medical Progress.  The sixth and latest installment from the group shows a former Planned Parenthood affiliate discussing salvaging fetal organs from unsuspecting mothers.

6th Shocking Video Catches Planned Parenthood Selling Aborted Babies Without Patient Consent.  The pro-life advocates behind the five shocking videos exposing Planned Parenthood selling the body parts of aborted babies for research have released a 6th video today [8/12/2015] that shows how the abortion business sells body parts of aborted babies without patient consent.  The video features Holly O'Donnell, a licensed phlebotomist who unsuspectingly took a job as a "procurement technician" at the fetal tissue company and biotech start-up StemExpress in late 2012.  That's the company that acts as a middleman and purchases the body parts of aborted babies from Planned Parenthood to sell to research universities and other places.

How Is 'Stealing' Baby Body Parts 'Women's Healthcare?'.  Planned Parenthood and its supporters have insisted that it engages in "women's healthcare."  But in the latest undercover investigative video exposing the taxpayer-funded organization's practice of harvesting aborted baby parts for potential sale to biomedical companies, a former StemExpress procurement technician reveals that when she needed certain body parts, Planned Parenthood staff would sometimes "just take what they wanted... and these mothers don't know."

Former Organ Buyer: Planned Parenthood 'Just Wanted Their Money'.  A former procurement specialist told pro-life activists that Planned Parenthood and organ companies looked at positive pregnancy tests as "opportunities" to cash in.  Holly O'Donnell, a former technician with organ tissue company StemExpress, took activists through the day-to-day operations of her former career.  She described walking in to clinics with a checklist of body parts and ages of the aborted babies.  She would then cross that list with the scheduled abortions for that day.

Donald Trump Is Planned Parenthood's Favorite Republican.  The GOP front-runner said in an interview Tuesday [8/11/2015] that he supported the status quo when it comes to Planned Parenthood.  The group couldn't be more pleased.

Sixth Planned Parenthood Video: Organs Harvested Without Patient's Consent.  The sixth investigative Center for Medical Progress video, released today, does not include the graphic images some of the others do, but it may be the most disturbing one yet.  Despite Planned Parenthood's insistence that women are fully informed before human organs and tissues are procured from their abortions, this video makes clear that that is not always the case.  The video features Holly O'Donnell, the pro-life licensed phlebotomist from the first installment, describing the uncaring, assembly-line approach to abortions at the Planned Parenthood clinic she was assigned to in Fresno.

The Planned Parenthood Videos' Powerful Argument For Unborn Humanity.  The horror genre, whether in print or on the screen, need not look for original story-telling.  Instead, it can turn to the series of undercover videos the Center for Medical Progress is releasing.  These videos, often with gruesome images, record Planned Parenthood officials as they discuss obtaining and selling aborted fetal body parts.  The first video sets the stage for all that have followed. [...] Subsequent videos have only heightened the horror, pairing Nucatola's clinical description of butchery with images to match.  This effect on the viewer displays a powerful argument in favor of unborn life.  Across many different viewpoints, we recognize that part of personhood involves having a human body.

Planned Parenthood videos and the killing of innocents.  The recent broadcast of videotapes taken of persons employed at Planned Parenthood — the prolific and notorious abortion provider — has brought the issue of abortion to the national consciousness again and front and center to the Republican presidential primary campaign.  The tapes were made secretly by a pro-life group determined to show to the world the dark side of Planned Parenthood's use of federal funds.  What the world saw was terrifying and damning.  The tapes are difficult to watch, just as any discussion of human slaughter is difficult to watch.  If you have seen these tapes, you witnessed physicians and others talking about the profits Planned Parenthood is making in the sale of baby body parts, even though such sales are criminal under federal law.

Four Planned Parenthood Centers Cited In Florida Probe, Three Ordered To Stop Second-Trimester Abortions.  After the Center for Medical Progress released those gruesome videos reportedly showing the illegal sale of body party from aborted babies, Florida Gov. Rick Scott issued a statewide review of his state's Planned Parenthood facilities.  After all 16 were inspected, four were issued citations.  Three were conducting procedures that were outside of their licenses (a.k.a late-term abortions) and the last one was improperly logging the disposal of infant remains.

Former Planned Parenthood Clinic Director Explains the Tissue Donation Process.  For eight years, Abby Johnson, who used to work for a branch of Planned Parenthood, didn't just witness the fetal tissue donation process — she participated in it.  During her tenure at a southeast Texas clinic — the same location featured in the fifth undercover video shot by the Center for Medical Progress — Johnson said she would "coerce" women to sign up for studies, then reap the financial benefits.  In 2009, a year after being named "Employee of the Year" at her clinic, Johnson, 35, said she witnessed a doctor performing an abortion on an ultrasound and quit her job.

Alabama makes three states that defunded Planned Parenthood this week.  Alabama became the third state in a week to pull state funding for Planned Parenthood on Thursday [8/6/2015].  Gov. Robert Bentley, a medical doctor, tweeted that life from "conception to birth and beyond" is important to him.  "I respect human life, and I do not want Alabama to be associated with an organization that does not," the two-term Republican tweeted.

70% of Americans know little to nothing at all about Planned Parenthood videos.  The liberal mainstream media may have lost their monopoly, but they retain an oligopolistic control over the mindshare of the American public.  By choosing to minimize or completely ignore the five videos of released so far of shocking conduct by Planned Parenthood officials, the American public remains overwhelmingly in the dark about the haggling over price in the sale of body parts from fetuses, aka human beings.

Planned Parenthood To CMP: Stop Keeping Our Depravity In The Public Eye.  [T]here is very much a purpose behind the slow leak of the videos.  It certainly maximizes the impact of Planned Parenthood's baby harvesting scheme on the public conscience, as well as keeping the organization in the negative spotlight of their own making.  Moreover, the slow leak provides no opportunity for Planned Parenthood to brush it all away, ignore it, or whitewash their barbaric butchery.  They are kept off balance and unable to be in control and make a preemptive strike before the next video is released.  Neatly, control remains beyond their well-financed reach.

The Human Fetus As Garbage: a Necessary Comparison to Nazism.  The efficacy of fetuses in medical research is debated.  Various news sources, depending on their editorial stance toward abortion, depict aborted fetuses as providing promising avenues for research.  Other news sources downplay the value of human fetuses for medical research.  This dichotomy indicates that aborted fetuses' value to medical research is not a slam dunk.  If aborted fetuses were inarguably necessary for a medical breakthrough that could save millions of lives, Planned Parenthood would have said so by now.

Planned Parenthood backlash opens Pandora's Box in Hill budget debate.  Dozens of conservatives are demanding congressional leaders slash all federal money for Planned Parenthood in an emergency spending package.  The Senate failed to secure a supermajority Monday [8/3/2015] just to debate a standalone bill to strip Planned Parenthood of federal dollars.  "At some point we'll negotiate the way forward," McConnell predicted of an autumn spending accord.  But the Pandora's Box has been opened.

No One's Buying Cecile Richards' Denials.  In an op-ed last week in the Washington Post, Cecile Richards goes out of her way to evade the whole question of the current controversy surrounding Planned Parenthood.  Yes, we get it.  We recognize the standard talking points.  Planned Parenthood wants us to believe they provide indispensable health services, and that we in the pro-life movement want to stop that.  Again, they are the victims and we are the villains.  Notice what you do not find in Cecile's article:  any mention of the term "body parts" or of the brains, hearts, livers and other organs that Planned Parenthood harvests and sells.  Yet we see these parts of pre-born children so clearly in the most recent video.

The Planned Parenthood Horror Story.  Babies being born alive, only to be butchered for their parts. Harvesting tiny hearts, brains and livers. Fetal organs being transplanted into lab rats for research.  Cracking skulls and dismemberment.  Horror shows are usually like that:  repulsive, disturbing, barbaric and sickening.  Except that Planned Parenthood's horror show is not a movie, but a real nightmare that keeps getting worse. [...] If only it had been a movie.  But you might say, isn't organ donation always gross?  Shouldn't we allow women to donate fetal remains to science?  Here's the difference.  Organ donation involves a death which could not be prevented, a death by accident or natural causes.  Even if no laws were broken, here you have purposefully destroyed life, butchered the potential for life.  The videos cut through the claim, "this is actually laudable" to expose the truth, "this is actually horrific."

The Real Planned Parenthood.  About three out of every ten pregnancies taken care of by Planned Parenthood are those of black mothers.  That's a bunch of black fetuses, um... babies.  In black neighborhoods, most all their service is to black women.  Remember that fact.  All you have to do to send one of those black fetuses, um... babies, to the dumpster is send Planned Parenthood a check for about $500.

Thanks To Media Blackout, Most Americans Are In The Dark About Planned Parenthood Videos.  The vast majority of Americans — a whopping 70 percent — have heard little to nothing about videos showing the involvement of Planned Parenthood in the harvesting and trafficking of human fetal organs.  The revelations from the videos have led to federal and state investigations, calls to end the $530 million a year in taxpayer funding, and questions from human rights activists about the propriety of the practice.  Yet the media have so struggled to cover the story, much less cover it well, that one third of the public has heard literally nothing about them while another 38 percent have heard only a little.  Democrats are particularly uninformed on the videos, with more than three out of four reporting they have heard little to nothing about the videos.

More examples of important stories that have been actively suppressed by the news media.

For "Women's Health": Human Fetus Brains Sold to Labs for Transplantation into Rats.  One thing is clear from the videos and media that have emerged in this recent scandal — we are not dealing with a one dimension "pro-choice/pro-life" debate.  Instead, there is a dark organization inside an industrial complex Americans have not dared to contemplate or uncover.  Secret scientific research, genetic engineering, synthetic DNA, vaccines made from human fetal cell tissue... and a host of other uses for human organs, limbs, brains and tissue.  The "ethics" behind closed doors, where doctors and clinics are apparently all too willing to break the rules and allow human experimentation, are projected into the medical system collective that we are all being pushed into.  Decisions about the value of human life and how far the State can go in deciding what is best for you are being weighed... your will see it in the hidden costs of Obamacare, where life becomes cheap but the bills for services rendered remain sky high.

Report: Aborted Baby Parts Being Used to Grow Human Organs in Rodents.  Medical researchers are growing human organs in mice by implanting dead human baby organs into rodents, a practice that stands to gain greater scrutiny in light of undercover videos exposing what appears to be Planned Parenthood affiliates selling aborted baby parts to medical procurement companies like StemExpress.  In a fourth video released from the Center for Medical Progress (CMP), Planned Parenthood personnel can be seen sifting through aborted baby parts allegedly to show what parts can be salvaged and sold.

U.S. Government Made 'Humanized' Mice With Tissue from Babies 17-to 22-Weeks Gestational Age.  A group of government researchers working for a National Institutes of Health laboratory in Montana made "humanized mice" by implanting the mice with tissues cut from human livers and thymuses taken from babies at 17 to 22 weeks gestational age.  The researchers then published a paper describing how they constructed this particular type of "humanized" mouse, saying they hoped their description of the process would help other researchers seeking to make such mice in the future.

The Editor says...
The ghoulish process of dismembering little babies is an abomination.  Planned Parenthood is attempting to offset the abhorrence of this procedure through a number of false claims:  First, that the procedure is "safe, legal and rare," and second, that the fetal tissues harvested in this manner is used in research that might lead to a cure for cancer.  (They ignore a known link between abortion and breast cancer.)  Even if the researchers find a cure for cancer (which will never be found as long as "cancer research" is so well funded), the price is far too high.

Bakin' Baby Syndrome.  The fifth in an apparent series of twelve Planned Parenthood undercover videos shows Melissa Farrell, director of research for Planned Parenthood Gulf Coast, discussing how to manipulate the abortion procedure in order to ensure the "fetus" is delivered "intact" and thus able to be cannibalized for body parts.  As Ms Farrell puts it, if a client "has a specific need for a certain portion of the products of conception and we bake that into our contract, and our protocol, that we follow this.  So we deviate from our standard in order to do that."  In other words, their priority is not a "woman's health needs" but a cleanly delivered "fetus" with the relevant "portion of the products of conception" intact — the leg, the liver, the heart, the lung, whatever it is the client has had "baked" into the contract.  This is in itself a crime:  You're not supposed to manipulate the abortion — and potentially cause more pain and discomfort to the woman — in order to get clean, sellable baby parts.

How Democrats Defend the Indefensible — and Why Republicans are No Match for Them.  The Republican congressional leadership's embarrassing failure to open fire on the human body-part wholesalers of Planned Parenthood, a group that is at the very center of gravity of the American Left, is symptomatic of a larger, probably deadly pathogen flowing in the veins of the once-proud party of Lincoln.  The collapse of the barely-there effort this week to deprive Planned Parenthood of taxpayer support for its ongoing, ever-expanding assembly line of horrors in which the group's leaders harvest human fetuses before their time in order to profit from the unquestionably unlawful profit-driven trafficking of tiny livers, eyeballs, hearts, kidneys, and brains of human fetuses, was preordained.

Harris DA investigating Planned Parenthood.  Harris County District Attorney Devon Anderson said Wednesday her office has begun a criminal investigation into the Houston branch of Planned Parenthood after the release earlier this week of a video showing an agency executive discussing the preservation of organs of aborted fetuses.  Anderson, who described the video as being "disturbing," said she has reviewed it, and said prosecutors and investigators in the her office have done so as well.

New Hampshire Defunds Planned Parenthood, Rejects $600K Contract.  New Hampshire legislators stripped the state's six Planned Parenthood clinics of state funds Wednesday [8/5/2015], deleting roughly one third of their public funding.  The state's Republican-led Executive Council rejected a $639,000 funding contract with Planned Parenthood, reported local ABC affiliate WMUR9.  The Council cited a series of undercover videos in the meeting, which show top Planned Parenthood doctors discussing and participating in the harvesting, dissection, and distribution of aborted fetuses.

Executive Council rejects Planned Parenthood funding.  New Hampshire's Republican-led Executive Council rejected $639,000 in state funding for Planned Parenthood along party lines Wednesday [8/5/2015] amid a renewed national debate over whether the organization should receive public money.

Clergy Advocacy Board Says Planned Parenthood Is 'Doing God's Work'.  Planned Parenthood's Clergy Advocacy Board released a statement Tuesday [8/4/2015] condemning the pro-life advocacy group that produced a series of videos appearing to show Planned Parenthood officials and employees haggling over the sale of body parts harvested from "intact fetal cadavers," while sifting through dishes of tiny organs and limbs.  According to the board, the taxpayer-funded abortion giant is simply "doing God's work."  A series of videos released over the past two weeks by the Center for Medical Progress shows Planned Parenthood officials discussing the transfer of tissue and body parts from babies who have been aborted, some as late as 18 to 22 weeks' gestation, to people posing as buyers.

Depressing poll of the day: Public opinion of Planned Parenthood basically unchanged after videos.  Barely a flutter in the polls despite weeks of news about PP doctors chattering about selling dismembered baby parts.  There seemed to be two likely explanations for that.  One:  The word wasn't getting out to the broader public.  This is a story that most mainstream reporters are verrrrry uncomfortable with given how it challenges the orthodoxy of their preferred political party.  They're not going to cover it, and you can't move the polls if the only place to find this story is on right-wing blogs.  Two:  Even among those who have heard about the videos, the absence of any smoking gun of criminal behavior is giving PP fans a cognitive "out" to continue supporting them.  Sure, they'll crush a baby's chest cavity just right to preserve the liver for sale, and sure, it's unclear precisely how well informed its patients are about that, but there's no law against it if it's for research purposes, is there?  Well, there you go.  What's on TV?

Patrick calls for criminal investigation into Houston Planned Parenthood clinic.  Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick is asking Harris County District Attorney Devon Anderson to open a criminal investigation into Planned Parenthood after a group of ant-abortion [sic] activists released a video of a staff member at a Houston clinic discussing how to preserve the remains of aborted fetuses.  The video is the fifth in a series released by the California-based Center for Medical Progress as part of its campaign to show that Planned Parenthood illegally sells fetal tissue to scientists.

PolitiFact and Planned Parenthood: Erroneous Fact Checks All the Way Down.  Planned Parenthood now finds itself being heavily criticized after being caught on tape brokering fetal body parts.  Fortunately for them, they have no shortage of allies in the media, including PolitiFact.  Fox Business reporter Sandra Smith recently said on air "Almost 95 percent of all (Planned Parenthood) pregnancy services were abortions."  On Tuesday, PunditFact, a division of PolitiFact, rated it false.  PolitiFact concedes the source of this statistic is Planned Parenthood's own annual report.  If you take the number of services listed in the report, exclude the ones that don't apply to women who aren't pregnant, you do indeed get a figure that showing that over 94 percent of pregnant women who go to Planned Parenthood get an abortion.

Fifth Planned Parenthood Video Released — Offering Sales of "Intact Babies".  It was suspected the undercover video's contained discussion of Planned Parenthood discussing "fully intact fetuses", which would be prima facie evidence of born alive infants.  This disturbing aspect prompted a biotech company, Stem Express, to file a motion with a federal judge to block any further video release.

Planned Parenthood Video: 'It Was a Twin ... Intestines Are Here,' Eyeballs 'Are So Easy ... They Come Out, Like, Firmer'.  In the fifth and latest investigative video of Planned Parenthood's harvesting of aborted baby organs and tissue, officials with the organization discuss altering the abortion process to get "intact, fetal cadavers," and help to identify body parts from aborted twins, including intestines, brain, lung, arm and "orbits," eyeballs.

New Video Shows Planned Parenthood Discussing Selling Intact Aborted Babies.  A video just released by the Center for Medical Progress taken undercover in Texas shows a Planned Parenthood research director discussing the sale of whole intact aborted babies to a company that resells them to medical researchers.  David Daleiden, head of Center for Medical Progress, claims this is clear evidence of criminal wrongdoing on the part of Planned Parenthood.

Founder of Group Behind Undercover Videos: Planned Parenthood Hasn't Refuted Charges of Partial Birth Abortions.  On CNN this morning [8/4/2015] Center for Medical Progress founder David Daleiden said, "After three and a half weeks Planned Parenthood has still not addressed the claim about partial birth abortions which is a very clear description given by their senior director of medical services from the very first video that we produced."

The 3 Percent Dodge.  Planned Parenthood, embroiled in a scandal over secret videos capturing its cavalier dismemberment of unborn babies and sale of their body parts, insists that abortion is only 3 percent of what it does. [...] The 3 percent figure is an artifice and a dodge, but even taking it on its own terms, it's not much of a defense.  Only Planned Parenthood would think saying that they only kill babies 3 percent of the time is something to brag about.

New Planned Parenthood Transcript: Nurse Admits It's 'Fun' To Dissect Fetuses.  The transcript accompanying the latest undercover Planned Parenthood video has an employee of the group admit she finds it "fun" to dissect fetuses for their organs and would "enjoy" the opportunity to do it on behalf of fetal tissue purchasers.  The exchange isn't included in the 15-minute edited video released Tuesday by the Center for Medical Progress (CMP), but is instead buried deep in the 119-page transcript accompanying it (a full-footage version of the video hasn't been released yet).  In the exchange, Melissa Farrell, director of research for Planned Parenthood Gulf Coast, admits she and her co-worker would find it enjoyable if a tissue buyer wanted them to dissect dead fetuses for parts.

Latest Planned Parenthood sting video features research boss promising intact fetuses.  The Center for Medical Progress on Tuesday [8/4/2015] released a fifth undercover video in its campaign targeting Planned Parenthood, this time focusing on a facility in Texas.  In this latest edited 16-minute installment, the head of research for Planned Parenthood Gulf Coast, Melissa Farrell, is seen bragging about her branch's track record of fetal tissue sales and its ability to deliver fully intact fetal organs to clients.  On April 9, 2015, actors posing as representatives of a human biologics company met with Farrell at the Planned Parenthood center in Houston to discuss the prospect of obtaining intact fetal cadavers for the purposes of medical research.

Which Senators Voted to Make You Pay for Abortion Harvesting?  You need to know who they are.  Despite a bipartisan majority of the U.S. Senate's support for defunding the abortion giant (including Sen. Joe Manchin III (D-WV) and Sen. Joe Donnelly (D-IN)), these political pawns of Planned Parenthood filibustered to ensure the Culture of Death keeps getting its government handout.  Each of the Senators below voted to block legislation that would have stripped taxpayer funding for Planned Parenthood — an abortion business that takes $500 million tax dollars, murders nearly 330,000 babies, and sells them for parts to pad its bottom line each and every year: [...]

Dear Starbucks, You Lost Me at Planned Parenthood.  Dear Starbucks, I am a Gold Card member of Starbucks.  I love your products and have for many years, specifically the grande mocha with coconut milk, no whip, extra hot.  That's my drink.  I am two stars away from receiving a free drink on my Gold Card.  I worked hard for that.  It's not easy to earn your rewards and your coffee ain't cheap.  But I almost have a free mocha out of it and I was looking forward to it.  Then I discovered that Starbucks is subsidizing Planned Parenthood, which has recently been caught on video tearing apart the bodies of fully formed human beings and selling off their organs to the highest bidder.  So, not only does my tax money go to fund these inhuman butchers, but now my coffee money does, too.  Not anymore.

The Editor says...
The Editor has never been in a Starbuck's shop.

Where's The Proof Baby Tissue Trafficking Saves Lives?  This talking point has been rolled out repeatedly.  Every time [Cecile] Richards insists lives may be saved from the baby body parts trade, she never highlights an actual scientific discovery:  "What happens in this country, at Planned Parenthood and other hospitals is that, women in very few places are allowed to donate fetal tissue for life-saving medical research.  Research, you know, developing cures for Parkinson, even the Ebola vaccine."

Mike Lee's Terrific Planned Parenthood De-Fund Speech.  [Senator] Lee notes, with passionate articulation, that Planned Parenthood's actions are indefensible by people of goodwill, and he quotes Solzhenitsyn in making the point that the violence Planned Parenthood commits against the unborn is necessarily married to the lies it must tell — and accuses the Democrats of complicity in falsehood by continuing to support the unsupportable.  This might go down as one of the greatest speeches given on the Senate floor in recent years.  Mike Lee has emerged as perhaps the most thoughtful orator that body possesses, and we owe him gratitude for putting his talents to the service of such a just cause as that of the lives of the unborn.

5th Shocking Video Catches Planned Parenthood Official Selling "Fully Intact" Aborted Babies.  The pro-life advocates behind the four shocking videos exposing Planned Parenthood selling the body parts of aborted babies for research have released a 5th video today [8/4/2015] that catches a Planned Parenthood official discussing how the abortion business sells "fully intact" aborted babies.  The video, which follows Senate Democrats defeating a bill to de-fund Planned Parenthood, makes it appear the Planned Parenthood abortion business may be selling the "fully intact" bodies of unborn babies purposefully born alive and left to die.

The Editor says...
Abortion is barbaric, whether the babies' organs are used for "life saving" medical research or they're being cooked and eaten.  (Maybe that's the subject of undercover video #37.)

Defund Planned Parenthood? Not so easy.  Republicans may find that defunding Planned Parenthood is harder than it looks.  Even if they manage to overcome the political obstacles — big ones like a Democratic filibuster, a presidential veto, or a battle royal over shutting down the government — they may still collide with Medicaid law.  The fight could leap from Congress to the courts.

Planned Parenthood, unequal justice and dark forces.  It is a topic that is not discussed and barely acknowledged, but exists deep in the bowels of the houses of power not just in the United States, but all throughout the West.  It has engulfed the political elite and their minions of both political parties, of those currently in power and out, and involves an equally corrupt media that goes well beyond complicity. [...] In the case of Planned Parenthood, the rabbit hole goes much deeper and ventures into places that are much darker, and much more sinister than people want to believe.  Practices that are conducted under layers of secrecy, and by people who are driven by the most evil of agendas.  They even laugh at their deluded defenders behind their backs as the defenders act like well-trained animals as they follow the playbook to the letter.

Senate fails to advance Planned Parenthood defund effort, setting up potential budget showdown with Democrats.  The Senate failed Monday to advance a Republican-led measure to halt federal aid to Planned Parenthood, but leaders of the GOP-controlled chamber appear ready to continue the fight, galvanized by a series of unsettling videos about the group.  The vote to bring debate on the bill was 53 against to 46 in favor.  The measure had not been expected to get the 60 votes needed to move it toward a final vote because Republicans needed several "yeas" from Democrats, who largely support Planned Parenthood.

Bobby Jindal just cut Medicaid funding to Planned Parenthood in Louisiana.  Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal (R) announced Monday [8/3/2015] he is cutting Medicaid funding for the state's two Planned Parenthood clinics.  The move comes in the midst of a Republican congressional push to defund the group after a controversial, covert video released by conservative activists last month showed Planned Parenthood discussing fetal tissue donations.  "Planned Parenthood does not represent the values of the people of Louisiana and shows a fundamental disrespect for human life," the presidential hopeful said in a statement.

Planned Parenthood Funding Could Dominate the Next Government Shutdown Debate.  With full Republican control of Congress now, and a Presidential and important Congressional elections looming, conservatives will demand some concrete legislative victories in exchange for keeping the government open.  The Republican leadership, however, if the past is any guide, will want to extend current spending levels through next year and put off any substantive legislative battle until after the Presidential election.

The Planned Parenthood Carnage.  The absolute very first thing that came to mind as I saw and heard these videos dealing with the harvesting of human parts, was the fact this had to be one of the most grisly and nauseating stories I had ever seen or heard in my life before, bar none.  Come to think of it, I thought we were not, if you will, any different than terrorist organizations such as ISIS.  Maybe worse.  We may have perversely pretended to try and expose ISIS for their ruthless and barbaric beheadings of other human beings.  But then I ask:  Are we any better than they are?

Democrat Senator Announces He Will Vote To Defund Planned Parenthood.  Democratic Senator Joe Manchin of West Virginia announced Monday [8/3/2015] he will vote to defund Planned Parenthood.  Last Tuesday, Iowa Republican Senator Joni Ernst introduced legislation to federally defund Planned Parenthood.  The bill quickly gained support among other Republican senators.  The bill gained 44 co-sponsors through the week but no Democrats lent their support.

How to Stop Planned Parenthood.  The U.S. Senate will vote today on a bill to defund Planned Parenthood and to stop forcing taxpayers to fund abortions and the barbaric sale of baby organs.  Unfortunately, this bill won't be signed into law.  Even if enough Democrats support it to overcome a filibuster, President Obama will veto it.  That is why the new Republican Congress must refuse to fund Planned Parenthood this year, even if the President and the Democrats choose to defeat the bill and cause a temporary government shutdown.  This is the only way to win this fight.

Hillary Clinton comes out in support of Planned Parenthood.  Hillary Clinton is making her position on Planned Parenthood very clear:  She is in full support of the organization.  "I'm proud to stand with Planned Parenthood, I'll never stop fighting to protect the ability and right of every woman in this country to make her own health decisions," Clinton said in a video released Monday [8/3/2015].

Planned Parenthood Survives Abortion in Senate.  Planned Parenthood survived a procedural vote Monday [8/3/2015] in the U.S. Senate on a bill to defund the organization, after a series of undercover videos emerged to suggest that the organization may have been willing to sell fetal organs from late-term abortions to tissue companies.  The vote for cloture was 53-46, meaning that it fell well shy of the 60 votes needed to end debate and proceed to a vote.

A Message to the Supporters of Planned Parenthood.  [Scroll down]  I have standing to offer an opinion, so to those on the Left, the Democratic Party and others who support the activity of Planned Parenthood, your espousal of unfettered abortion and the sale of human body parts while justifying your actions through the belief that you are not dealing with human life makes you no different than the members of the Nazi Party in 1930's Germany.  I am embarrassed and ashamed to refer to you as fellow Americans.  Further, your actions and beliefs are rapidly transforming American society into one that has no respect for the uniqueness of each individual and self-determination.  The ultimate result, if not reversed, will be the collapse of this nation either from internal or external chaos.

Companies Giving to Planned Parenthood Sometimes Reject Religious Charities.  As The Daily Signal and 2nd Vote have revealed, corporate America is a major source of revenue for Planned Parenthood.  While less than the half-billion in taxpayer dollars Planned Parenthood receives annually, corporate contributions made up a healthy piece of the $127 million in "excess revenue" the ostensible nonprofit received last year alone.  But while corporate America has been comfortable donating funds to Planned Parenthood for years, it has been far less willing to give — or even allow its employees to give — to religious charities.

How the left gets everything wrong.  Example 1: Planned Parenthood is exposed like never before through a brilliant undercover sting operation.  The left's response?  Demonize the messenger and target him with legal action.  Never mind that growing babies inside the womb are being poisoned, dismembered, crushed, squeezed, yanked, ripped, torn apart, sucked out with a vacuum, and killed?  And never mind that for some once living babies it doesn't end there as their butchered bodies are then put through a strainer, poured into glass pie plates, and picked through with tweezers, while ghoulish Planned Parenthood employees laugh and joke and exclaim while looking at the mangled mess of blood and body parts, "It's a baby!" and "Another boy!"

Planned Parenthood and the barbarity of America.  Executives of Planned Parenthood's federally subsidized meat markets — your tax dollars at work — lack the courage of their convictions.  They should drop the pretense of conducting a complex moral calculus about the organs they harvest from the babies they kill.  First came the video showing a salad-nibbling, wine-sipping Planned Parenthood official explaining how "I'm going to basically crush below, I'm going to crush above" whatever organ ("heart, lung, liver") is being harvested.  Then the president of a Planned Parenthood chapter explained the happy side of harvesting:  "For a lot of the women participating in the fetal tissue donation program, they're having a procedure that may be a very difficult decision for them and this is a way for them to feel that something positive is coming from ... a very difficult time."

White House questions 'authenticity' of Planned Parenthood videos.  The White House dismissed the need for a federal investigation of Planned Parenthood Friday [7/31/2015], citing the opinions of three liberal newspapers as evidence that "impartial observers" are raising questions about the authenticity of a pro-life group's undercover videos on the sale of fetal tissue.  White House press secretary Josh Earnest also suggested that the pro-life group, the Center for Medical Progress, is an "extremist" organization.  And he said for the first time that President Obama would veto any effort by Congress to defund Planned Parenthood.

Desperate Dems Recycle Planned Parenthood's Mammogram Lie.  As more graphic, money-grubbing undercover videos of Planned Parenthood's for-profit aborted baby parts racket emerge thanks to the investigative work of the Center for Medical Progress, desperate Democrats are in full deflection mode. U.S. Secretary of Health and Human Services Sylvia Mathews Burwell defended federal funding for Planned Parenthood this week by invoking the women's health shield.  "What I think is important is that our HHS funding is focused on issues of preventative care for women, things like mammograms," Burwell told the House Education and Workforce Committee.  Just one teeny, tiny problem with this defense:  It's a completely calculated fabrication.

Latest Planned Parenthood Footage Shows Dissected Fetuses.  "And another boy!" one tech says in the video after dissecting a tiny fetus in front of undercover actors posing as fetal tissue buyers for a fake biotech company.  The actors were in the process of negotiating a contract with the Colorado Planned Parenthood clinic to procure the tissue, and had asked to see samples.  "Do people do stuff with eyeballs?" Dr. Savita Ginde, the clinic's Vice President and Medical Director, asks one of the potential buyers as she pokes around in a pie dish containing the tissue and fluids that resulted from an abortion.  "Oh yeah," the actor responds.  "Although eyeballs, they generally want more developed than this."

On Planned Parenthood, The White House Defends The Indefensible.  For an institution that might argue that it doesn't have a dog in this fight, the White House sure has stepped into the Planned Parenthood baby-parts selling scandal on the side of the flesh-peddlers.  Sounding a little surreal, White House press secretary Josh Earnest firmly stood up for Planned Parenthood on behalf of the Obama administration following the release of four undercover videos from the Center for Medical Progress showing the family-planning agency's leaders' callous disregard for human life and its grotesque efforts to reap commercial benefit for itself.

Planned Parenthood Had Hillary's Private Email Address.  Planned Parenthood emailed Hillary Clinton on her private email address.  The revelation comes in the most recently released trove of Clinton's emails.

White House Says Planned Parenthood Videos Are Fake, Cites Planned Parenthood.  The White House expressed its firm belief Thursday [7/30/2015] that recently-released videos attacking Planned Parenthood are "fraudulent."  Their source:  Planned Parenthood.  Josh Earnest, the White House press secretary, was speaking with reporters when they raised the matter of the videos released by the Center for Medical Progress which appear to show Planned Parenthood officials discussing the sale of fetal organs for profit, a violation of federal law.  He claimed the videos were released in a "fraudulent way" with "not a lot of evidence" behind them.

White House assails move to defund Planned Parenthood.  President Obama opposes Republican efforts to defund Planned Parenthood in the wake of damaging videos exposing its fetal tissue donation program.  White House press secretary Josh Earnest stopped short of issuing a formal veto threat against the legislation, but he said "on balance, the president would not be supportive of such congressional action."  "This is a tactic we have seen used before," Earnest said of the GOP legislation.  "The president obviously does not support that ongoing effort."

Guilt as Power.  The people who in the videos merrily describe the prices they can obtain for this or that body part may one day be old and as helpless as the infants they have dismembered.  Then they will be in the care of men like themselves.  And on that far day these young — then old — may want water.  On what grounds will they demand it?  On what basis will they ask for care, love or compassion?

Jeb Bush Sat On Board Of Philanthropy That Gave Millions To Planned Parenthood.  Republican presidential candidate Jeb Bush was one of the directors of a charity that gave tens of millions of dollars to Planned Parenthood, LifeSiteNews first reported.  Named a founding director to the tax-exempt Bloomberg Family Foundation in 2010, Bush sat on the board until the end of 2014 when he began to prepare for his presidential run.  Bloomberg Philanthropies announced in March of 2014, while Bush was still on the board, it was giving $50 million to strengthen "reproductive health rights in Burkina Faso, Nicaragua, Senegal, Tanzania, and Uganda."

Planned Parenthood's chop shops.  One reason it is so difficult to recover stolen cars is that many, if not most, are stolen not to be sold intact, but rather to be taken to what are called chop shops, below-the-radar auto body shops that surreptitiously dismantle these vehicles, stripping away every conceivable part that may have resale value in the auto aftermarket.  An automobile carefully dissected provides far more value from all those separate parts than it could ever have in its whole form.  And sadly, such appears to be true with unborn babies as well.

10 Quick, Important Developments On The Planned Parenthood Scandal.  Whether or not the story generates major media attention, the Center for Medical Progress' expose of Planned Parenthood's participation in the harvesting and sale of fetal organs continues to feature major updates.  Here are 10 of them.

Public Relations Firm SKDKnickerbocker Scrubs Website Of Tie To Planned Parenthood.  SKDKnickerbocker sent out a memo to journalists trying to keep them from reporting on the undercover videos, on the grounds they were obtained under false identification and violated patient privacy.  Planned Parenthood botched a portion of its difficult public relations campaign when it was unable to provide any evidence at all for a claim that the group's site was under attack and had to be shut down.  As explained in "Planned Parenthood 'Hacking' Sure Looks Like An Orchestrated PR Stunt," Planned Parenthood's web page seemed to function fine.  It just replaced the page with a claim of an attack, but then directed visitors to give the group money or otherwise help with their public relations campaign.

President Of NOW: Moms Love Planned Parenthood, Aborted Fetuses Are 'Disgusting'.  On Now with Alex Wagner on Thursday [7/30/2015], the President of the National Organization for Women was on briefly to discuss the scandal surrounding Planned Parenthood, and how it might affect Hillary Clinton's presidential aspirations.  In the short time she was on screen, O'Neill managed to utter a surprising array of tone-deaf and highly-charged statements.

Planned Parenthood President Made 39 Visits To Obama's White House Since 2009.  Planned Parenthood President Cecile Richards, head of the taxpayer-subsidized abortion giant currently facing a firestorm for allegedly selling body parts harvested from aborted babies, has made personal visits to the White House 39 times since President Barack Obama took office in 2009, White House records show.  According to online records on the White House website, Richards first visited the White House on Jan. 20, 2009 — the same day Obama first took office.  Since then, Richards has met with Obama alone at least three times and First Lady Michelle Obama at least twice.  She also met with [the] president and his wife together another four times.

Graphic undercover footage shows Planned Parenthood doctor examining aborted fetus for viable tissue specimens and cracking a skull while pricing out parts versus the entire body.  The Center for Medical Progress has released a new undercover video of Planned Parenthood doctors, this time as they closely examine an aborted fetus for viable tissue.  The parts of the fetus — including the head, hands, and legs — are easily identifiable in the video as the doctors discuss pricing of individual parts versus the entire body.  The video comes after Cecile Richards — the president of Planned Parenthood — said in an interview that the group has done nothing illegal and is the target of a political smear campaign.

Planned Parenthood video reveals babies may be born alive and then killed.  In the fourth and most startling undercover Planned Parenthood video from the Center for Medical Progress, Dr. Savita Ginde of Planned Parenthood of the Rocky Mountains (PPRM) admits that about 10 percent of their second trimester babies are born "intact" before the abortion procedure is done.  In an interview with CNN, CMP leader, David Daleiden, explained why StemExpress, a biotech company that partners with Planned Parenthood, is trying to suppress the release of more video tapes.

CMP chief: Stem Express hiding trade in intact human fetuses.  Why does Stem Express want to keep the undercover video shot by the Center for Medical Progress under wraps?  David Daleiden, CMP's project leader, tells CNN that the conversation included an admission that they "sometimes get fully intact fetuses shipped to their laboratory from the abortion clinics that they work with."  Daleiden notes, "That could be prima facie evidence of born-alive infants" — and a potential series of violations of the Born Alive Infant Protection Act (BAIPA), passed into law in 2002.  And that's why "they're very scared of it," Daleiden says ... right before the interviewer changes the subject:  [Video clip]

Bombshell: Investigator says StemExpress bought intact dead babies from Planned Parenthood.  Undercover investigator David Daleiden tells CNN the reason StemExpress is trying to suppress the video he took of its CEO on May 22 is because the company doesn't want anyone to know it bought whole intact dead babies from Planned Parenthood.  Daleiden said on CNN, "In a meeting with their top leadership, they admitted that they sometimes get fully intact fetuses shipped to their laboratory from the abortion clinics they work with, and that could be prima facie evidence of born alive infants.  And so that's why they're trying to suppress that videotape and they're very scared of it."

White House threatens to veto bill blocking Planned Parenthood's funding.  The White House on Friday [7/31/2015] threatened a veto on any bill that defunds Planned Parenthood.  A budget measure that strips funding from the organization "is certainly something that would draw a presidential veto," press secretary Josh Earnest said.  "We have routinely opposed the inclusion of ideologically driven riders" in budget bills, Earnest added.

White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest Admits To 'Merely Repeating' Planned Parenthood Talking Points.  White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest admitted that the administration's response to the damning Planned Parenthood videos that have been released over the last few weeks has come from the organization's public comments, not from any investigation on the part of the White House.  Earnest was asked by Breitbart's Charlie Spiering where he was getting his information that the videos were fraudulent and distorted:  ["]I'm merely repeating what I've seen that they've [Planned Parenthood] said, and has been reported publicly about what they've said.["]

Judge blocks release of recordings by anti-abortion group.  A federal judge on Friday [7/31/2015] blocked the release of any recordings made at meetings of an abortion providers' association by an anti-abortion group that previously revealed secretly recorded videos of a Planned Parenthood leader.

Obama Appointee And Bundler Blocks More Video Releases By Group Behind Planned Parenthood Sting.  A federal judge late Friday [7/31/2015] granted a temporary restraining order against the release of recordings made at an annual meeting of abortion providers.  The injunction is against the Center for Medical Progress, the group that has unveiled Planned Parenthood's participation in the sale of organs harvested from aborted children.  Judge William H. Orrick, III, granted the injunction just hours after the order was requested by the National Abortion Federation.  Orrick was nominated to his position by hardline abortion supporter President Barack Obama.  He was also a major donor to and bundler for President Obama's presidential campaign.  He raised at least $200,000 for Obama and donated $30,800 to committees supporting him, according to Public Citizen.

Court bars anti-abortion group from releasing new videos.  A temporary restraining order has been issued preventing an anti-abortion group from releasing any video of leaders of a California company that provides fetal tissue to researchers.

Fear and Fascism: Judge Bars Release of More Planned Parenthood Videos.  A temporary restraining order has been issued preventing an anti-abortion group from releasing any video of leaders of a California company that provides fetal tissue to researchers.  The group is the same one that previously shot viral covert video of a Planned Parenthood leader discussing the sale of aborted fetuses for research.  The Los Angeles Superior Court order issued Tuesday [7/28/2015] prohibits the Center for Medical Progress from releasing any video of three high-ranking StemExpress officials taken at a restaurant in May.  It appears to be the first legal action prohibiting the release of a video from the organization.

Rush: Dems Claim To Be for 'Little Guy,' But Defend PP.  Talk radio host Rush Limbaugh criticized Democrats for defending Planned Parenthood while claiming to be the party of "the little guy" on Friday [7/31/2015].  Rush said of the videos, "The White House says nothing to see here.  Hillary Clinton says she's troubled by the videos.  Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-CA), praising the, whatever she described Planned Parenthood as being, a great, compassionate organization.  Selling these body parts, the lie, for medical research.  And yet, there isn't one medical advancement that any of the people responsible for this can point to and say, 'Look what we've done!  Look at the advances that we've made!'  It's purely for money and profit.  It's barbaric beyond any ability I have to describe it.  I've waited.  Two weeks, three weeks have gone by.  There's no room for equivocation on this.  There's no room for, 'Well, what if there's something we don't understand here?'  There's no room for that.  [This is] clear-cut depravity, murder.  And that human beings are doing this to one another, and claiming that people who oppose this, somehow, are conducting a War on Women, or are unaware and unfeeling of another person's rights?  Are you serious? [...]"

Planned Parenthood on the run: Refuses to attend Texas hearing.  The Texas state Senate's Health and Human Services Committee plan to review the videos to determine whether Planned Parenthood broke any laws, and to debate how to put an end to cash trades for organs harvested during abortions.

Colorado abortion clinic staff failed to report 13-year-old's sexual abuse.  Planned Parenthood Rocky Mountains was hit with a complaint Wednesday for performing an abortion on a 13-year-old girl without reporting possible sexual abuse against the underage girl and returning her to the man who abused her.  The conservative Alliance Defending Freedom filed a complaint with the Colorado Department of Regulatory Affairs against the Planned Parenthood affiliate on behalf of the pro-life Colorado Family Action.

Complaint Filed Against Colorado Planned Parenthood for Covering Up Rape.  Rocky Mountain Planned Parenthood recently gained notoriety when the Center for Medical Progress released a video of people at the abortion clinic picking through a dish of aborted baby parts in order to sell them.  Now the Planned Parenthood affiliate is facing accusations of serious wrongdoing: [...]

Nets Maintain Blackout on New Planned Parenthood Video; CNN Covers.  As of Wednesday morning [7/29/2015], ABC, CBS, and NBC's morning and evening newscasts have yet to cover the third video from the Center for Medical Progress, which featured a whistle-blower's account of "picking" through the remains of aborted babies in order to find organs that could be sold for medical research.  The Big Three networks have actually devoted more time to the slaying of a lion in Zimbabwe than all three videos from pro-life organization.

Planned Parenthood Begs Media: Stop Covering Our Scandal.  Planned Parenthood is in real trouble. Three shocking videos released over recent days — with more on the way, apparently — have shown officials at the abortion giant haggling over the price of aborted baby organs.  It's ghastly, gruesome stuff, replete with one representative describing how she alters her late term abortion procedures to "crush" the baby in specific areas as to preserve sought-after and lucrative body parts.  Another laughs that higher prices could help her buy "a Lamborghini."  The abortion lobby argues that fetuses are not human beings worthy of legal protection, while selling the intact human organs of the "non-people" they kill.  Besieged by negative headlines and a horrified public, Planned Parenthood has hired a crisis PR firm, [...]

Call it 'research,' not 'business,' Planned Parenthood doc says in latest sting video.  A Colorado Planned Parenthood doctor stresses calling the harvesting of fetal tissue "research" and not "business" — and casually pokes around in a petri dish of aborted remains as a colleague exclaims, "Another boy!" — in the latest video released Thursday [7/30/2015] by an activist group whose hidden camera stings have imperiled the embattled nonprofit's taxpayer funding.  The video's release by the Center for Medical Progress comes a day after CMP was issued a restraining order preventing it from issuing any new footage of a group that worked with Planned Parenthood, StemExpress.  But Thursday's material focuses almost entirely on a woman identified as Dr. Savita Ginde, the vice president and medical director of Planned Parenthood of the Rocky Mountains.

PP: Pondering Profits.  A key defense being used by PP is that they don't "profit" from the sales of baby hearts.  Like most liberal arguments this is a bit of sophistry that hinges on a legalistic interpretation of the word "profit".  Because PP is a non-profit — which is why they don't pay taxes — it can't technically ever make a profit.  Hence when PP is paid money for baby parts they can say it's not a profit, even if it's more than the direct cost of "harvesting" the baby livers because that money is then supposedly used to provide free services — i.e. abortions — to poor women, preferably Black women, based on abortion statistics.  Most people think someone makes a profit when they get more out of some activity than they put in.  That means one can profit without making a profit.

Nine More Undercover Videos Ready To Drop On Planned Parenthood.  David Daleiden, founder of the Center For Medical Progress (CMP), told conservative talk radio host Sean Hannity Tuesday [7/28/2015] there are nine more sting-operation videos that reveal Planned Parenthood's operations.  "We have close to 300 hours total of undercover video that was gathered during a 30 month long in depth investigative journalism study of how Planned Parenthood sells the body parts of the babies they abort," Daleiden said, noting that each highlight video released will have the full footage posted on their website without any edits.

GOP, appalled by sale of baby parts, working on phony bill to defund Planned Parenthood.  Do you know Joni Ernst?  She's the new "Tea Party" senator from Iowa.  With her mannish hairdo and her photo-ops riding a motorcycle, she was supposed to be a cultural connection between "modern" quasi-masculine women and conservatism.  It hasn't quite worked out that way.  She is the head of a Senate "working group" that is working on legislation to defund Planned Parenthood.  Ernst is outraged by the reports of PP selling baby organs.  The only problem is that the legislations she has been working on has no chance of becoming law, and when she did have a chance to defund Planned Parenthood on Sunday, for real, she was silent.

Planned Parenthood Received Millions of Dollars After Lobbying Clinton's State Department.  Planned Parenthood lobbied the Department of State many times during Hillary Clinton's tenure there and received tens of millions of dollars from foreign policy agencies over the past few years, according to a new report.  As secretary of state, Clinton attacked the Mexico City Policy, which bans federal funding of abortion overseas. Her husband revoked the policy during his administration and President Obama lifted the ban upon taking office in 2009. The United States Agency for International Development (USAID), which is tied to the State Department, steered more than $100 million in funding to Planned Parenthood, its international affiliates, and the pro-abortion Population Council between 2010 and 2012, according to the Government Accountability Office — about 20 percent of the nearly $500 million pro-abortion organizations received from taxpayers during that time frame.

New Undercover Video Reveals Planned Parenthood Willing to Sell Organs From Delivered Babies.  The Center For Medical Progress has released a fourth undercover video showing Planned Parenthood Vice President of the Rocky Mountains and Medical Director Dr. Savita Ginde discussing how babies that are "delivered before procedure," aka born alive, are used to harvest "intact" organs.  "Sometimes, if we get, if someone delivers before we are able to see them for a procedure the we [sic] are intact," Ginde is shown saying.  The video also shows abortionists pointing out "another boy!" has been extracted and celebrating intact baby parts as "five stars!"

Planned Parenthood official airs legal concerns.  A fourth video about Planned Parenthood's participation in collecting aborted fetal tissue features a top official stressing the need to coordinate the practice among clinics to avoid any legal troubles.  Savita Ginde, medical director for Planned Parenthood's Rocky Mountains office, doesn't explicitly say clinics are selling fetal tissue for a profit, which would be illegal.  But in the latest video, she appears to nod agreement when actors posing as human tissue buyers say they want to pay "top dollar" for fetuses even though the cost of obtaining them is "negligible."

Planned Parenthood's 'Hacked' Website Looks Like PR Stunt.  As outcry grows in response to a series of undercover videos revealing Planned Parenthood (PP) employees appearing to engage in selling organs and tissues from aborted babies for profit, the abortion provider claimed that "extremists" had hacked their website.  As Breitbart News reported, PP claimed that it had been hacked on Sunday evening [7/26/2015].

Planned Parenthood "Hacking" Sure Looks Like An Orchestrated PR Stunt.  Planned Parenthood claims on several of its websites that the organization's web operations have been attacked by "extremists," but this so-called hacking has all the hallmarks of an orchestrated public relations stunt.  Numerous people on Twitter pointed to evidence suggesting that this so-called hack wasn't a hack at all: [...]

Josh Earnest: 'Not a Lot of Evidence' Planned Parenthood Acted Unethically.  During Thursday's [7/30/2015] White House briefing, press secretary Josh Earnest said that because the Planned Parenthood sting videos were obtained "fraudulently," they couldn't be used to draw conclusions about the organization's ethical standards.  "Has the White House had any communication with Planned Parenthood about standardizing procedures for fetal tissue research?  Has the White House had any concerns about illegalities in this realm?  Have you had any sort of investigation, or are you considering one?" asked Fox News' Doug McKelway.  "Not that I'm aware of," Earnest responded.  "I think Planned Parenthood has been quite specific about the policies and procedures that they have in place, and I know they have described those policies and procedures as living up to the highest ethical standards."

Planned Parenthood President: Our Critics Are Extremists.  President of the Planned Parenthood Federation of America Cecile Richards dismissed critics as extremists Wednesday [7/29/2015] in the wake of videos showing how the group harvests fetal organs.  "Since our very beginning, our health centers, providers and patients have come under outrageous attacks, political and otherwise," Cecile wrote in an opinion piece for The Washington Post.  "The most recent attacks in this decades-long campaign represent a new low."

Planned Parenthood Doctor on How to Avoid Getting Caught Selling Baby Parts.  The latest video released today shows Dr. Savita Ginde of Planned Parenthood talking to buyers from a fictitious company about how to avoid the appearance of violating federal law against selling fetal body parts that are the result of abortion.  Ginde talks specifically about how to avoid getting caught.

WH Backs Planned Parenthood And Their 'High Ethical Standard'.  White House Spokesperson Josh Earnest says he suspects somebody in the Obama Administration has seen a series of videos on Planned Parenthood's role in harvesting the organs of babies, but the administration is basing its position that the videos are edited unfairly on the comments of Planned Parenthood and "the high ethical standard they live up to."  During a White House press briefing Thursday [7/30/2015] Earnest was asked if anyone at the White House has watched the series of videos about Planned Parenthood.  "I suspect somebody has," Earnest replied.

Why Planned Parenthood Can't Donate Tissue Harvested From Babies.  Federal law prohibits partial-birth abortion, a gruesome procedure in which an unborn baby is intentionally turned to the breech position to ensure that delivery of the body happens before delivery of the head.  Once the baby's head is stuck in the birth canal, the abortionist punctures the skull, evacuates the contents, and the baby is dead.  There's a good reason this practice is banned — it's barbaric.  Many Americans may not know that the term "partial-birth abortion" is not a medical one but a legal one.  And, according to Planned Parenthood doctor Deborah Nucatola, some abortion providers don't consider it with any seriousness.  In her own words, "It's not a medical term, it doesn't exist in reality."

Planned Parenthood Workers Laugh Sorting '5-Star' Baby Parts, Try Not to 'Smush' Them.  The latest video exposing the trafficking of aborted babies by Planned Parenthood showed workers casually laughing over and probing at pieces of a "baby" and "another boy."  The Center for Medical Progress (CMP) released a fourth investigative video July 30 showing Planned Parenthood executive, Dr. Savita Ginde, bartering over baby part pricing while admitting that the chances of providing intact organs are better if a woman "delivers before we get to see them."  The video showed Planned Parenthood workers laughing over "five-star" baby parts while trying not to "smush" them.

HHS Chief Burwell Won't Investigate Planned Parenthood, Hasn't Seen Videos.  In testimony before the House Education and the Workforce Committee Tuesday, Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary Sylvia Burwell said she had not viewed any of the videos regarding Planned Parenthood's involvement in harvesting the body parts of aborted babies for sale, and that her office would not be conducting an investigation into the practices of the nation's largest abortion provider.  According to a news release at the Committee's website and video of Burwell's testimony, the secretary said she had not personally viewed any of the videos produced by the Center for Medical Progress, despite the fact that they are widely available online.

Texas AG: Office Has Received More Planned Parenthood Videos.  Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton said Wednesday [7/29/2015] that his office has received video taken in a Planned Parenthood clinic he says is consistent with other stealthily recorded footage that has Republicans again taking on the biggest abortion provider in the U.S.

Senators introduce Planned Parenthood defunding bill.  In a press conference announcing the bill, sponsor Joni Ernst spoke out against PPFA's harvesting-for-profit scheme, saying, "As a mother and grandmother, I find this footage of Planned Parenthood's role in the harvesting of the organs of unborn babies morally reprehensible and vile...  The American people are horrified by these videos as well.  Simply put, this legislation ensures that funding for women's health is protected and that taxpayer dollars will not go to Planned Parenthood."

HHS boss won't probe Planned Parenthood — or even watch videos.  The week-long outcry over secretly-taped videos revealing Planned Parenthood's practice of selling body parts of aborted fetuses won't be investigated by the federal agency that provided $67.2 million between 2010 and 2012 — or even watched by the department's boss.  The House Education and the Workforce Committee Tuesday [7/28/2015] released videos of testimony from Health and Human Services Secretary Sylvia Burwell explaining why she won't probe the Planned Parenthood affair.

Planned Parenthood PAC Seeks Thank You Notes for Doctors' 'Courage and Compassion'.  Planned Parenthood Federation of America's Political Action Committee posted two requests on its Facebook page for supporters to sign "thank you" notes for doctors and other staff employed at its abortion clinics.  The nation's largest abortion provider posted a request for visitors to express thanks for the organization's staff at its clinics, which performed 327,653 abortions in one year, according to its most recent annual report.

Planned Parenthood Video No. 3.  Planned Parenthood is in trouble.  While Democratic politicians continue to stand behind the organization, corporate sponsors reportedly are dropping by the wayside. [...] What makes Planned Parenthood's position so difficult is that it has never really been a secret that the organization sells babies' organs.  What Planned Parenthood wants to say (and does say, although with a certain lack of conviction) is that selling babies' organs is a great thing because they are used in scientific research.  The problem is that no one who watches the videos has that reaction.

Cruz: Planned Parenthood [is] a 'criminal enterprise'.  Republican presidential candidates Ted Cruz and Ben Carson led conservatives in a rally against Planned Parenthood Tuesday, following the publication of three videos detailing the organization's sale of organs harvested from aborted fetuses.  "Today the U.S. Department of Justice should open a criminal investigation into whether Planned Parenthood nationally is a criminal enterprise breaking the law," Cruz said on the lawn on the Capitol.  But the Texas senator was skeptical this would happen, adding "the Obama Justice Department in acting as little more than a partisan arm of the Democratic National Committee."

Nobody Knows How Much Planned Parenthood Gets.  [Scroll down]  Back in March, a Government Accountability Office (GAO) report examined three years of funding for PP and other abortion groups.  That report found state and federal partnerships, such as Medicaid and CHIP, spent $1.2 billion on programs and grants to Planned Parenthood, including about $401 million in 2012.  However, this data doesn't assist in fully defunding Planned Parenthood, because nobody knows who is spending what. [...] While the Family Research Council (FRC) used the GAO report to calculate that more than $96 million came to PP exclusively from the feds in the form of Title X funding, that is only a fraction of the amount of federal funding PP affiliates and clinics receive.

Technician details harvesting fetal parts for Planned Parenthood in latest video.  [Scroll down]  The new, graphic video from the Center for Medical Progress appears to show technicians using tweezers to pick through aborted fetal tissue for baby parts.  After one person in the video picks out a pair of intact kidneys someone off-camera laughs and says, "Five stars!"  O'Donnell said she fainted the first time she was part of this process and was told by someone in the room, "some of us don't ever get over it."

Planned Parenthood's PR Firm Is Asking Reporters Not To Air Undercover Video.  One of the largest public relations firms in Washington D.C. circulated a memo Monday night urging members of the media to refrain from airing damning videos of Planned Parenthood officials discussing the sale of organs and tissue of aborted fetuses.  Politico is reporting that Planned Parenthood hired SKDKnickerbocker to help manage blowback from the videos, which were produced by the pro-life Center for Medical Progress.  According to Politico, SKDKnickerbocker sent the memo to unnamed "reporters and producers" asking them to blackball the videos — the third of which was released on Tuesday [7/28/2015].

Planned Parenthood taps crisis communications firm.  Planned Parenthood has enlisted high-profile Washington public relations firm SKDKnickerbocker as it scrambles to deal with the ongoing scandal and release of a third undercover video Tuesday [7/28/2015] showing a clinic's staff handling fetal tissue after an abortion.

Former Planned Parenthood Employee Describes the Baby Part Market.  In the third of the sting videos proving that Planned Parenthood illegally traffics in human body parts, the Center For Medical Progress interviews a former Planned Parenthood "procurement technician" who explains how they get the baby parts and how much money PP makes from them.

Ben Carson To Headline Washington D.C. #WomenBetrayed Rally To Defund Planned Parenthood.  Retired pediatric neurosurgeon and 2016 GOP presidential candidate Ben Carson will be the featured speaker Tuesday [7/28/2015] at the Washington, D.C. #WomenBetrayed rally to defund Planned Parenthood.  To date, some 60 cities are confirmed as holding rallies — all of which have been coordinated by the nation's largest organization of pro-life millennials, Students for Life of America (SFLA) and its partner organization Pro-Life Future.  The rallies urge citizens across the nation to demand their states investigate, prosecute and defund Planned Parenthood.

Planned Parenthood 'sponsors' deny funding organization amid hidden camera controversy.  Planned Parenthood once boasted a list of sponsors that read like a who's who of the Fortune 100, but now some of the biggest companies say they never gave money to the embattled organization.  Coca-Cola, Ford and Xerox are all among the companies listed in a roster of corporate sponsors claimed by Planned Parenthood, but representatives for the companies said they either never donated to the organization or had not in years.  Planned Parenthood, which is now reeling from the release of two undercover videos in which top officials alluded to selling fetus parts, had published the company names on the website of its Washington, DC, chapter.  The list was part of an appeal to employees who the site said could double their donations with the help of their employers.

Deception or Truth About Planned Parenthood Body Parts Sale?  The counterattack against [Planned Parenthood]'s critics attempts to cast the debate as one in which the right to abortion or even research with fetal tissue is being called into question.  But the Planned Parenthood videos are shocking because they reveal the barbarism of late-term abortion procedures used on infants that could possibly survive outside the womb and the callous way in which abortion mills profit from them.  The issue here isn't the future of Roe v. Wade or medical research, but the reality of a practice that rightly strikes most Americans as equivalent to infanticide.

Planned Parenthood Panics.  The undercover investigation into Planned Parenthood's involvement in the trafficking of aborted baby organs has gained so much attention in the press that Planned Parenthood's president, Cecile Richards, felt compelled to appear on ABC's This Week on Sunday [7/26/2015] to address the scandal.  As a crisis communications response, the interview didn't go well.  Richards's demanor was composed, but her statements gave the distinct impression that Planned Parenthood is panicking.

Democratic Senator Fundraising Off of Planned Parenthood Organ Harvesting Videos.  Senator Kirsten Gillibrand, a Democrat from New York, sent out a fundraising email on Monday [7/27/2015] condemning congressional efforts to investigate Planned Parenthood's practice of harvesting and selling aborted baby organs to biotech companies.  Gillibrand writes that the congressional investigation of Planned Parenthood "makes my head explode."  "I'm confident that if we had more women leading in Washington, we would not still be dealing with the right wing's efforts to trample women's health care," she says.

Senate blocks Mike Lee's vote to defund Planned Parenthood.  Sen. Mike Lee (R-Utah) was rebuked by his Senate colleagues on Sunday [7/26/2015] as he tried to force a vote on defunding Planned Parenthood.  Lee had tried to attach an amendment eliminating all federal funds for Planned Parenthood to the vote on Congress's must-pass highway legislation.  The amendment was rejected by the chair of the Senate, who called it out of order because it was not germane to the highway bill.

McConnell Angers Conservatives By Blocking Defunding Planned Parenthood, Kate's Law.  Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell has never been a favorite of conservatives.  Those who see him as a "squishy" compromiser more interested in placating President Barack Obama and K Street lobbyists than the Republican base had more fuel tossed on that fire when he blocked amendments to the Highway Bill Tea Party members wholeheartedly support.  One amendment would defund Planned Parenthood, the nationwide abortion provider which receives more than a half billion dollars in taxpayer subsidies annually.  McConnell has previously said he supports defunding Planned Parenthood, [...] But the leader blocked an amendment to the Highway Bill that would have defunded the organization.

Carly Fiorina demolishes EMILY's List representative on 'heavily edited' body parts videos.  Planned Parenthood and the abortion-supporting Democrats are taking on water over the stunning videos of PP reps haggling over the price of fetal body parts and discussing how to conduct abortions to preserve the most valuable organs for handing over to third parties in return for money (they refuse to call it "selling").  As Rick Moran reports this morning [7/27/2015], PP's president absurdly is blaming "militants" for the videos.  Appearing on Fox News Sunday, Carly Fiorina debated EMILY's List vice president Jess McIntosh, and handed the abortion enthusiast her posterior.

The 4 Most Embarrassing Things Cecile Richards Said In Defense Of Planned Parenthood.  Of the many hundreds of angles that could be analyzed to report on this story about the sale of organs from aborted children, many in the media focused on just one:  Who are the people who made this video?  The very first set of talking points and journalistic marching orders sent around by Planned Parenthood asked reporters to focus on the makers of the video rather than the content of the videos.  Unfortunately for them, the guy behind the videos appears to be a very nice and pious pro-life activist named David Daleiden.  I have no idea what possessed Richards to try this line of attack but she — on live national television — tried to claim that Daleiden is "part of the most militant wing of the anti-abortion movement that has been behind the bombing of clinics, the murder of doctors in their homes, and in their churches."  Even more shockingly, perhaps, [ABC's George] Stephanopoulos didn't ask her to substantiate this insane charge.

Anti-abortion hackers claim to have breached Planned Parenthood.  Anti-abortion hackers have apparently hit Planned Parenthood, potenially [sic] leaking the reproductive healthcare organization's internal data and employee information.  The hackers are also threatening to release the nonprofit group's internal emails, according to The Daily Dot, which first reported the possible intrusion.

As pols push to defund Planned Parenthood, how much is it costing you?  Over the last 10 years, Planned Parenthood has gotten more than $4 billion in state and federal government aid.  Any bid to defund the organization may face long odds.  But how much is it costing you?

Mitch McConnell's Mission Is to Present Strong Do-Nothing Opposition to the Leftist Agenda.  No one can accuse McConnell's Senate of trying to speak to their base or oppose anything with any vitality. [...] McConnell originally wouldn't allow a discussion of a bill to defund Planned Parenthood, an abortion behemoth burdened with scandals over the years that takes half-a-billion dollars out of taxpayer's pockets annually.  The group trying to expose their unethical and possibly illegal practices is under investigation by Obama's DOJ but Planned Parenthood is not, though they callously sell aborted baby body parts and change the method of killing babies without telling the mothers to better preserve the parts they can then sell.  Some issues do not have two sides and this is one of them.  The Republican party is presenting no significant opposition as a party.

Planned Parenthood chief blasted undercover videos from 'militant' pro-life wing.  Planned Parenthood President Cecile Richards insisted Sunday that her organization has broken no laws and does not — "at all" — profit from the transfer of fetal tissue, a response to a scandal that enveloped the group after undercover videos showed officials discussing the surgical process and its costs in a nonchalant manner.  The videos caused an uproar among pro-life groups and Capitol Hill Republicans, who are questioning the legality of the tissue transfers and have insisted on stripping the group of federal funding.

Planned Parenthood Exec Cited Public Hospital as Possible Source of Aborted Baby Parts.  The Thomas More Society, a public interest law firm based in Chicago, is seeking abortion records from the city's publicly-funded John H. Stroger, Jr. Hospital after a Planned Parenthood executive in California suggested the hospital as a possible source for harvested fetal organs.  The Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request was filed with the Cook County Health and Hospital System on July 17 by associate counsel Corrina Konczal on behalf of Illinois Right to Life.  It requests "any and all records which relate to the disposition of dead embryos or fetuses, fetal parts, fetal organs, and/or fetal tissue... after an abortion (whether elective or spontaneous) at John H. Stroger, Jr. Hospital of Cook County including any information referring or relating to the disposal, sale, research upon, transfer, or shipment of fetal remains and any costs of reimbursements, whether monetary or otherwise, associated therewith for the last five years."

Boehner Wants More 'Facts' Before De-Funding Planned Parenthood.  House Speaker John Boehner said Thursday that he wants to put "facts first" before using the appropriations process to end federal funding to Planned Parenthood.  The most recent reports of harvesting and selling body parts from aborted unborn babies have renewed the call to end the more than half a billion dollars that the organization receives in government funding each year.  Here are just a few more facts that Boehner (and all of Congress) should consider before continuing to send the hard-earned dollars of American taxpayers to the nation's largest abortion provider: [...]

Banned Parenthood? Pro-lifers say video scandal should get abortion provider expelled from public schools.  The hidden camera scandal engulfing Planned Parenthood should be enough to get the organization kicked out of public schools, where it is the nation's leading provider of sex ed lessons, say pro-life groups that have long suspected the nonprofit of steering youngsters toward its abortion services.  The national organization is reeling after a group called the Center for Medical Progress released a second video showing Planned Parenthood officials discussing prices for tissue from aborted fetuses.  The cringe-inducing videos have prompted calls from some Republicans to cut federal funding to the organization, but its critics have long wanted it out of the classroom.

Kamala Harris to review group behind Planned Parenthood abortion videos.  California Attorney General Kamala Harris will review whether the nonprofit organization behind controversial Planned Parenthood videos violated state law, her office said in a letter Friday [7/24/2015].  Four Democratic congresswomen on Wednesday asked Harris and U.S. Attorney General Loretta Lynch to determine if officials from the Irvine-based Center for Medical Progress broke any laws when they posed as workers for a biotech company while recording Planned Parenthood physicians without their consent.

Doctor: Don't call them 'baby parts,' call them 'products of conception'.  A pro-choice doctor is challenging the term "baby parts" to describe fetal tissue and organs, arguing that they should be referred to as "products of conception."  In a Thursday [7/23/2015] article for the New Republic, Dr. Jen Gunter, a California-based OB/GYN, took issue with the use of "baby parts" by pro-life groups following the Center for Medical Progress's release of videos with Planned Parenthood doctors discussing fetal-tissue donation.

Hillary Clinton Defends Embattled Planned Parenthood'.  Hillary Clinton strongly defended Planned Parenthood Thursday [7/23/2015] as the women's health organization reels from the fallout over a sting video released by anti-abortion activists earlier this month.  "For more than a century, Planned Parenthood has provided essential services for women," Clinton said while campaigning at a community college in Greenville, South Carolina.  "And I think it is unfortunate that Planned Parenthood has been the object of such a concerted attack for so many years.  And it's really an attack against a woman's right to chose."

The battle goes beyond Planned Parenthood. We must end abortion in America.  Each year, Planned Parenthood performs more than 300,000 abortions, and 92 percent of pregnant women who walk into Planned Parenthood receive an abortion.  Since 1973, abortion has ended the lives of 60 million babies, and we will never know how many of these souls were harvested to the highest bidder.  Planned Parenthood isn't a healthcare provider any more than Benghazi was a 'spontaneous protest'.  It should enrage every American that our government confiscates money from our paychecks only to bankroll these barbaric butchers with $500 million each year.  This isn't about women's health, this is about making money off babies body parts.

Congress must defund Planned Parenthood's killing fields.  The video was filmed by the Center for Medical Progress — the second of what could be many more undercover stings.  Planned Parenthood's only defense was to say the videos were heavily edited.  They also expressed remorse for the tone of the secretly recorded conversations.  Proper tone?  So what exactly is the proper tone when negotiating a price for discarded body parts?  What exactly is the proper tone when you're running a chop shop for unborn children?

Why selling baby parts should shock no one.  Republican presidential candidates denounced the practice of "fetal organ harvesting" and GOP leaders in Congress have again threatened to "defund" Planned Parenthood.  They won't, because they haven't before.  Since Roe vs. Wade, there have been more than 55 million (and counting) legal abortions performed in the U.S.  There are a number of sociological, moral and political reasons why abortions continue, but the occasional outcry when something like the Planned Parenthood videos surface will not save the lives of unborn children.  Because abortions are performed behind closed doors, is it simply a case of out of sight, out of mind?

McConnell to fast-track bill to defund Planned Parenthood.  Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell started a fast-track process Friday on legislation to strip Planned Parenthood of federal funding in the wake of two controversial videos showing officials discussing delivery of fetal parts.  The Republican leader began "Rule 14," which will let the legislation skip the committee process and be placed on the Senate calendar so it can be brought up for a floor vote.

Planned Parenthood Pulls Names of Corporate Donors After Coca-Cola, Ford and Xerox Object.  Representatives from Coca-Cola, Ford Motor Co. and Xerox say they've asked Planned Parenthood to remove their names as corporate donors to the embattled organization.  The move follows a Daily Signal report revealing the names of 41 companies that Planned Parenthood listed as donors.  That list, which was featured on Planned Parenthood's website, has since been removed.

HHS Rejects Planned Parenthood FOIA Request Because It's 'Not Newsworthy'.  Earlier this week, Mary Hasson broke the news here at the Federalist that federal funds went to Planned Parenthood's salad-munching, wine-sipping, organ-harvesting Dr. Deborah Nucatola for advice on "healthy baby" births.  Hasson requested all communications and documents relevant to any payments to or compensation of fees, consultant fees, reimbursements, etc. to Deborah Nucatola, MD, a Planned Parenthood employee.  And she requested that the documents be sent as soon as possible.

There is, indeed, money in Planned Parenthood's baby-harvesting.  [Scroll down]  Remember:  baby harvesting, the best efforts of the abortion industry notwithstanding, is actually still illegal.  That means that a company can't lock down a particular harvester with a legal contract that would be enforceable in a court of law:  it'd be like a cocaine distributor trying to enter into a legal agreement with a drug lab to require that the latter provided cocaine of a particular quality and quantity.  How would you get the courts to enforce it?  In other words, it's all done less formally.  And it's apparently a seller's market, too.

Rand Paul Pushes Ahead to Defund Planned Parenthood, Circumvent Mitch McConnell Blocking Of Amendments.  [Senator Rand] Paul tried to get the floor to stand up and offer an amendment to defund Planned Parenthood and another one to arm servicemen and women on military bases.  He intended to offer these measures as amendments to the highway bill that is currently on the Senate floor.  Whoever was presiding over the floor refused to recognize Paul to offer his amendments.

Dems call for DOJ probe of group behind Planned Parenthood videos.  Several House Democrats are calling for a federal investigation into the anti-abortion group targeting Planned Parenthood with dozens of hours of hidden camera footage. A group of Democrats, led by Rep. Jan Schakowsky (D-Ill.), sent a letter Wednesday to the Department of Justice arguing the undercover videos from The Center for Medical Progress may have broken federal and state laws.  The Center for Medical Progress, which is going after Planned Parenthood because of its abortion services, created a fake company to gain access to its facilities and meetings with its high-level officials.

Sally Kohn Blames Planned Parenthood Videos on 'Patriarchy,' 'White Supremacy'.  The taxpayer-funded abortion giant has "patriarchy" to thank for exposing its dealings, according to CNN's Sally Kohn.  On Twitter Wednesday [7/22/2015], the CNN political commentator and Daily Beast writer blamed the recent videos showing Planned Parenthood executives trafficking aborted babies' parts on the "patriarchy" and "white supremacy.

We Asked Companies About Their Donations to Planned Parenthood.  Here's How They Responded.  On Tuesday [7/21/2015], The Daily Signal published a list of companies that donate or have donated directly to Planned Parenthood, either through grants or through matching employee gifts, according to 2nd Vote, a money-tracking website and app that looks at consumers and political causes.  The Daily Signal reached out to each company to ask about its donations to the nation's largest abortion provider.  Representatives for Xerox, Coca-Cola and Ford Motor Co. told The Daily Signal that they had been incorrectly listed as donors by Planned Parenthood.  They said their companies do not contribute to Planned Parenthood and do not match employee gifts to the organization.  All three said they have contacted or will contact Planned Parenthood to be removed from its website.

Boehner Won't Say That GOP House Will Defund Planned Parenthood.  House Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) would not say today whether the Republican-majority House will allow federal funding of Planned Parenthood in fiscal 2016, which starts on Oct. 1. [...] According to its most recent financial report, for 2013-14, Planned Parenthood received $528.4 million in government funding (grants and reimbursements) in 2014.  In fiscal 2013, the organization performed 327,653 abortions, the report said.

Planned Parenthood Paid Disgraced Official More Than $200,000 On The Side.  Planned Parenthood not only pays its disgraced official Deborah Nucatola a salary.  The abortion provider has also paid Nucatola a six-figure sum as an outside contractor. [...] But Nucatola also founded her own firm called Imagyn Inc. in Sherman Oaks, Calif.  The firm was incorporated in the state of California on April 1, 2008.  She is still listed as president of the corporation. [...] What, exactly, was she paid for?  And what does her firm do?

Planned Parenthood's erroneous corporate sponsor list.  If they sincerely cherish their names and reputations, the principals of Coca-Cola, Ford and Xerox should launch a joint lawsuit against Planned Parenthood.  Until the scandalous video showed their doctors talking about the sale of aborted baby parts as 'taking care of business', the names of the three multi-nationals, among others, were being openly advertised as corporate sponsors on the Planned Parenthood website.  The purveyors of selling aborted baby parts have linked their names to infamy, and in fact disgraced all corporations boldly named on the Planned Parenthood website.

The Price of Fetal Parts.  Planned Parenthood's reaction to the release of a secretly recorded conversation about the sale of fetal body parts was highly revealing.  After protesting that it had done nothing illegal, it apologized for the "tone" of one of its senior directors.  Her remarks lacked compassion, admitted Planned Parenthood president Cecile Richards.  As if Dr. Deborah Nucatola's cold and casual discussion over salad and wine of how the fetal body can be crushed with forceps in a way that leaves valuable organs intact for sale were some kind of personal idiosyncrasy.  On the contrary, it's precisely the kind of psychic numbing that occurs when dealing daily with industrial-scale destruction of the growing, thriving, recognizably human fetus.

Planned Parenthood revelations disgusting.  The capacity for evil lurks inside the most normal, most benign-looking good citizens who go about their daily work without a worry or a care.  It manifests itself in their ability to ignore the darkness inside of them, that then spreads from their hearts and hands to the greater world.  By now you must know I'm talking about Planned Parenthood.  If you support that organization because of all the "good" it supposedly does for women, all the phantom mammograms, nutritional counseling, pap smears and whatever else they put on the humanitarian menu, you might want to stop reading now.V If you continue, you will see why I consider a Planned Parenthood clinic to be no different from the killing fields of Cambodia.

Planned Parenthood and "Black Lives Matter" divide Democrats.  [Scroll down]  Some liberals have rushed to Planned Parenthood's defense.  The videos were taped by abortion opponents operating under false pretenses, they say, as if that made them inauthentic.  And they deny that the fetal parts are sold at a profit (which is illegal) though the officials seem unconcerned about the possibility that their fees will exceed expenses.  The 2012 Obama campaign appealed to single women by suggesting that without Obamacare's contraception mandate, contraceptives would somehow be unavailable — a favorable way to frame the abortion issue.  But the Planned Parenthood videos are, in the words of Democratic columnist Kirsten Powers, "stomach-turning stuff."

President Obama to Abortionists: 'Thank you, Planned Parenthood. God bless you.'.  Planned Parenthood pays no taxes.  Under President Obama, made more than $500 million in profits, but they claim to be a "non-profit" organization.  They kill more 800 children every day.  And they have from the earliest days targeted minority women.  They once had a "Negro Ministers" project designed to recruit black pastors to push first birth control and then abortion in minority neighborhoods.  Now, in two startling videos, we have seen Planned Parenthood leaders engaged in a ghoulish traffic in the organs of unborn children whom they have killed.

A New Dark Age.  Set aside the legality of what Nucatola describes.  Do Americans want hundreds of millions of tax dollars provided to an organization that harvests and sells the body parts of aborted babies as a potentially lucrative sideline business?  Do Americans want to be associated in any way with an organization with the moral mindset exhibited by Nucatola?  That Americans were stunned by those tapes is undeniable.  People are not faking their moral revulsion.  Indeed, "pro-abortion rights" Democrats are hiding in the weeds because they rightly sense that the disgust is widespread and genuine.  Yet there are questions raised by what these tapes reveal that apply to all of us.  Were we really in the dark?  Were we unaware that 55 million unborn have been killed since Roe, many by such crushing methods as described by Nucatola?

13 Things You Probably Don't Know About Planned Parenthood Founder Margaret Sanger.  Planned Parenthood, engulfed in a scandal following the release of two undercover videos, is the largest abortion provider in the United States.  On its website, the organization compliments Margaret Sanger as one of the pro-choice movement's "great heroes."  Sanger started the American Birth Control League in 1921; it became part of the Planned Parenthood Federation of America in 1942. [...] Here are 13 things Sanger said during her lifetime.

So Planned Parenthood Sells Babies' Body Parts: Is It a Scandal?  It is hard to see how CMP's videos could be "dishonest" or "deceptive."  They show what they show.  The organization posted the videos in full on YouTube.  I watched the second one, a lunch with Dr. Mary Gatter, in its entirety.  It is around an hour and 13 minutes long. [...] This video, like the first one, leaves no doubt whatsoever that Planned Parenthood is in the business of selling aborted babies' organs to private firms engaged in research.  Nor does Planned Parenthood deny doing so.  The debate over the videos has centered largely on whether such sales, as carried out by Planned Parenthood, are illegal.

If You Accurately Quote Abortionists Discussing Organ Harvesting, The Democrats Will Demand An Investigation Of YOU.  The Democrats can't make the Planned Parenthood disaster go away.  They can't rebut the facts.  They can't convince people that the evidence of their own senses is a hoax.  So they're trying to use their political power to protect their investment and maintain their control.

Abortionism and the Banality of Evil.  [Scroll down]  How casually these administrators of infanticide discuss the economic utility of the bodies of those humans they kill!  How blithely they banter about the best techniques of homicide against the most vulnerable of human lives!  This has been a recurring theme in the abortion industry.  Dr. Bernard Nathanson, co-founder of NARAL and once one of the leading abortionists in America, describes the true moral nature of Abortionism in his 1996 book, The Hand of God.  The doctor actually aborted one of his own unborn children, relating in chilling frankness:  "I swear to you, I had no feelings aside from the sense of accomplishment, the pride of expertise."

Brit Hume Slams 'Stomach-Turning' Abortion Industry's 'Veil of Antiseptic Tidiness'.  In a July 20 Fox News Special Report, Senior Political Analyst Brit Hume "laid bare the essentially brutal nature of abortion."  And he did it well.  His commanding denouncement of the industry followed the July 14 release of "stomach-turning" Planned Parenthood videos, which showed officials coolly discussing the traffic of fetal body parts while eating lunch.  "Those revelations ... have parted the veil of antiseptic tidiness behind which the abortion industry has for so long operated," Hume declared.

Are we being double-taxed? Why ObamaCare may render Planned Parenthood obsolete.  Now, if my tax dollars are being used to subsidize our national health care program, then why are my tax dollars also being allocated for Planned Parenthood?  This isn't a matter of ethics, but rather, of practicality.  Many of the clinical services Planned Parenthood offers — including Pap smears, breast exams, tests for sexually transmitted infections (STIs) and sexually transmitted diseases (STDs), and abortions — can be performed by gynecologists, family practitioners and pediatricians.  The ACA guarantees coverage for the vast majority of women's reproductive needs.  According to Planned Parenthood's 2013-2014 annual report, the latest data available, the organization received nearly $1.15 billion in revenue — $528.4 million of which came from the federal government.

How Planned Parenthood's Chop-Shop, Selling Murdered Babies for Parts, Pads "their Bottom Line".  In addition to murdering thousands of babies, we now know Planned Parenthood is operating a chop-shop, selling murdered babies for parts.  Two videos have been released of senior Planned Parenthood abortion executives explaining in lurid detail, while chomping on salad and wine, how Planned Parenthood abortionists "crush" babies, using a "less crunchy" method of abortion, to harvest their organs.  Then they sell them.  It's despicable.  Yet, in response to the natural backlash of the American people, Planned Parenthood — the largest abortion business in America — has happily admitted it conducts this gruesome, inhuman practice.  It claims it's following "the highest ethical and legal standards."

Failure Theater presents Planned Parenthood edition.  For two weeks now we've all been talking about how reprehensible and evil Planned Parenthood is.  If you follow life issues, you didn't need the two videos of alleged doctors haggling over the price of baby parts to know this.  If you were under the impression that Planned Parenthood was that nice, friendly white lady who gave contraceptives to minorities and minor children and poor whites then you might be surprised.  There seems to be about eight states (Arizona, Kansas, Missouri, Texas, Louisiana, Indiana, Ohio and Georgia) that have announced investigations.  Congress has said it is investigating. [...] Talk is cheap.

Lankford Introduces Senate Bill Defunding Planned Parenthood While It's Investigated For Selling Baby Body Parts.  Sen. James Lankford (R-OK) is introducing legislation this week that would entirely defund Planned Parenthood for at least a year while the federal government investigates the organization in the wake of several covert videos that show top executives from the group aiming to sell body parts from aborted human babies.  Unless Planned Parenthood stops performing abortions at its facilities, Lankford's bill would pull the taxpayer funding — at least $500 million — for at least one year.

DOJ to review Planned Parenthood videos.  Attorney General Loretta Lynch said Wednesday [7/22/2015] her department is going to review all information surrounding the controversial videos of Planned Parenthood officials taken by an anti-abortion group.  "I'm aware of those matters generally from the media, and from some inquiries that have been made to the Department of Justice, and again at this point we're going to review all the information and determine what steps, if any, to take at the appropriate time," Lynch said when asked about the videos at a press conference.

50 Senators Ask HHS to Investigate Planned Parenthood's Harvesting of Aborted Baby Organs.  Fifty U.S. senators, 49 Republicans and West Virginia Democrat Joe Manchin, are calling on Health and Human Services Secretary Sylvia Burwell to investigate Planned Parenthood Federation of America's "practice of harvesting the organs of unborn babies."  Their letter follows the release by the Center for Medical Progress of video footage showing high-level Planned Parenthood officials discussing the practice.

Fears on the left growing for Planned Parenthood.  Critics of Planned Parenthood on Tuesday [7/21/2015] released a second secretly recorded video related to fetal parts, putting the group on the defensive and spurring fears on the left of a new ACORN scandal.  The new video shows Dr. Mary Gatter, a Planned Parenthood official, apparently negotiating the price of fetal tissue for medical research.  The Center for Medical Progress, which is behind the video, says it shows Planned Parenthood illegally profiting off the sale of fetal organs.

Planned Parenthood videos should appall even pro-choice advocates.  The video came as a bombshell.  Selling fetal organs for profit is illegal under federal law, yet [Dr. Deborah] Nucatola appears quite candid in describing Planned Parenthood's lively commercial interest in human tissue from abortion.  She is alert to market demand — "I'd say a lot of people want liver," she tells her lunch companions — and understands how to carry out an abortion to maximize the quality of the organs that can be supplied to buyers afterward.  "We've been very good at getting heart, lung, liver, because we know that," says Nucatola, "so I'm not gonna crush that part, I'm gonna basically crush below, I'm gonna crush above, and I'm gonna see if I can get it all intact."

Crush Planned Parenthood.  This is stomach-turning stuff.  But the problem here is not one of tone.  It's the crushing.  It's the organ harvesting of fetuses that abortion-rights activists want us to believe have no more moral value than a fingernail.  It's the lie that these are not human beings worthy of protection.  There is no nice way to talk about this.  As my friend and former Obama White House staffer Michael Wear tweeted, "It should bother us as a society that we have use for aborted human organs, but not the baby that provides them."  [Cecile] Richards worked to discredit the video by complaining it was "heavily edited."  But the nearly three-hour unedited video — a nauseating journey through the inner workings of the abortion industry — was posted at the same time as the edited video.  Richards intoned menacingly that the video was "secretly recorded."  So what?

Alveda King to Congressional Black Caucus: Lead Investigations of Planned Parenthood.  Dear Congressional Black Caucus, I am writing to you today because my heart is heavy over the deafening silence coming from you regarding a recent video that has gone viral exposing Planned Parenthood's practice of harvesting and selling aborted babies' body parts.  If they or anyone else had been exposed for harvesting and selling animal body parts, there would be such an outrage from the left and right.  "Save the whales!  Save the dolphins!  Save the doggies and cats!" people would declare.  But for some reason it seems to be okay to chop up the unborn babies and harvest their body parts.

Legality of Planned Parenthood fetal organ donations questioned after second video.  A second undercover video with a Planned Parenthood official has sharpened the focus on whether the organization is violating federal law governing the donation of fetal tissue and organs from abortions.  The latest video, released Tuesday [7/21/2015] by the pro-life Center for Medical Progress as part of a three-year investigation, shows Planned Parenthood's Dr. Mary Gatter haggling over the price of aborted fetal tissue and contemplating the use of an alternative abortion method to obtain an intact fetus.

Evil with salad and a nice red wine.  When we think of evil, we think of something violent or demonic, something filled with hatred and wretchedly hungry to devour the good.  But what if evil eats a salad at lunch and is polite, speaking rationally with nice table manners?  I've just seen a video where evil casually spears lettuce on a fork and calmly, scientifically, discusses the market for the body parts of aborted fetuses, while sipping a glass of wine.

Medical Monsters vs. Life-Giving Angels.  Another week, another money-grubbing Planned Parenthood baby-parts harvester exposed.  In the second devastating installment of a three-year journalism investigation, the Center for Medical Progress on Monday released undercover video of another top abortion industry doctor haggling over the sale of "intact" unborn baby parts.

Rand: GOP Has 'Run Away' From Abortion, 'No Reason' for PP 'Other Than Abortion'.  [Senator] Rand [Paul] added that he doesn't accept the apology of Planned Parenthood's director, and that "everything Planned Parenthood does other than abortion, is done by community health clinics.  There is no reason in the world to have Planned Parenthood, other than abortion, no taxpayer dollar should go to it because they are indirectly, if not directly, paying for abortion.  All of the stuff that Planned Parenthood says they do for people, it can be done through community health clinics, which have gotten a ton of money in the last few years.  We should stop all funding for Planned Parenthood."

Meet the 41 Companies That Donate Directly to Planned Parenthood.  The first video, released last week, showed Planned Parenthood senior executive Dr. Deborah Nucatola meeting with actors portraying buyers from a "human biologics company."  The "buyers" discussed the sale of fetal body parts with Nucatola over lunch.  In the second video, released today [7/21/2015], Dr. Mary Gatter, president of Planned Parenthood's medical directors council, is seen negotiating the price of aborted fetal body parts.  Here are the 41 companies that have directly funded Planned Parenthood. [...]

Planned Parenthood: We Got $528.4 Million in Taxpayer Funds in One Year.  Planned Parenthood, the nation's largest abortion provider, received $528.4 million in taxpayer funding, according to its 2013-2014 annual report, which runs from July 1, 2013 to June 30, 2014.  The report shows that Planned Parenthood received $528.4 million in "government health services grants and reimbursements" during a one-year period, the latest figures available.  That means it received an average of $1,447,671 in taxpayer funds per day and an average of $60,320 every hour.

Hoyer: 'I Reject Any Premise that Planned Parenthood is Harvesting Fetal Organs, or Body Parts'.  On Capitol Hill, CNSNews.com asked Hoyer, "In its last annual report, Planned Parenthood said it did more than 327,000 abortions in fiscal year 2013.  Recent reports indicate that Planned Parenthood doctors have been harvesting tissue from aborted babies.  So should federal taxpayer dollars be required to subsidize Planned Parenthood or should Congress cut off all federal funding?"  Hoyer responded, "Look, I don't accept the premise that Planned Parenthood is 'harvesting' anything.  Planned Parenthood is doing very, very important services for literally hundreds of thousands, maybe millions of women as relates to their health."

Sen. Ted Cruz speaks out against Planned Parenthood, vows to defund it through bill.  Both Senators Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio have vowed to defund Planned Parenthood as a second undercover video unleashed a new storm of controversy surrounding the non-profit organization.  In addition to an amendment that would fully repeal President Obama's Affordable Care Act, Cruz's office said on Tuesday that the Texas lawmaker is planning to file an amendment on a six-year highway and transit bill to eliminate all federal funding for the non-profit, which provides reproductive health services that include abortion.

Second secretly recorded Planned Parenthood video fuels storm.  A second secretly recorded video released by an anti-abortion rights group appears to show an official from Planned Parenthood negotiating prices for selling fetal tissue.  The new video from the Center for Medical Progress highlights a discussion between a woman posing as a buyer of human tissue, who is recording the video, and a woman the group identifies as Dr. Mary Gatter, a Planned Parenthood official.

NY Times Very Upset Over Planned Parenthood Sting.  [Scroll down]  Of course, the rest of the editorial is all about protecting PP, and attacking the group that shot the videos.  There is no concern that PP is illegally selling aborted baby parts.  No outrage.  Heck, they aren't even upset that PP was using ultrasound to make the abortion cleaner to get the parts.  Aren't abortion on demand proponents against ultrasound for abortion?

More about The New York Times.

Second Planned Parenthood baby body part selling video may be worse than the first.  After the last Baby Body Parts Sales video we were promised that there were more to come and the next shoe seems to have dropped today.  Life News has released a second video, this one with Mary Gatter, a senior medical director with PP in California.  In a lunch meeting with individuals posing as representatives of a biotech firm, Gatter is asked numerous questions about the possibility of purchasing fetal organ tissue from Planned Parenthood clinics and her responses are once again rather ghastly in the cavalier tone she takes.

Dr. Mengele, I Presume.  [Scroll down]  "Dr." Nucatola made the bad career move recently of holding forth over a two-plus hour lunch meeting with two undercover reporters who videotaped the whole thing.  And therein she explained in the most cavalier and ruthless terms the cottage industry the PP has been engaging in for fun and profit for an unknown number of years.  They focus for this awful enterprise on the more mature babies — the ones old enough to have a chance of survival if their mothers love them enough to keep them — and once they have killed and delivered them, yup, you guessed it, they harvest their little organs and sell them for "medical research."  Livers are always popular, she explains, but recently hearts, lungs and heads have been in greater demand.

New Video Shows Another Planned Parenthood Doctor Haggling Price of Baby Body Parts.  In the second video released today [7/21/2015] by the Center for Medical Progress, yet another senior medical adviser to Planned Parenthood of America appears to negotiate the price of selling baby body parts to actors playing entrepreneurs from a start-up biotech firm.

Carly Fiorina Decries 'Moral Depravity' of Planned Parenthood.  In a new video of her own, Carly Fiorina calls out Democrats for protecting abortion in America rather than women and the basic human rights of the unborn innocent. [...] She urges the defunding of Planned Parenthood and the Senate's passages of the Pain-Capable Child Protection Act.

It's time to defund Planned Parenthood.  Planned Parenthood is in full damage control mode.  It is working on impugning the credibility of pro-life undercover investigators from the Center for Medical Progress who just today released another video on the abortion provider's barbaric practices.  It is also defending the technical legality of its practice of harvesting organs for a fee during abortions, deploying its allies in the media and the White House, and seeking desperately to restore its carefully constructed and ferociously defended image as an organization primarily focused on women's health, and only secondarily involved in providing abortions.

Guess Who's Getting Big Bucks from Planned Parenthood?  We know that Planned Parenthood receives about half a billion dollars of U.S. taxpayer money each year.  Most states also give the state Planned Parenthood affiliates millions of tax dollars annually.  And, Planned Parenthood makes close to half a billion dollars from doing abortions every year.  No one knows yet just how much Planned Parenthood makes in selling the dismembered part of aborted babies.  With all of that money flowing in, it is not surprising that Planned Parenthood spreads a considerable amount of that money to sympathetic politicians.  They pay to elect pro-abort candidates to make sure there are as few restrictions on abortion in America as possible.  But now, it has been revealed who one of the main recipients of Planned Parenthood's "blood money" is.

New Undercover Video Shows Planned Parenthood Executive Haggling Over Price of Aborted Baby Body Parts.  A second undercover video was released today allegedly showing a Planned Parenthood senior executive negotiating the price of aborted fetal body parts.  The video, released by the Center for Media Progress, adds to allegations that Planned Parenthood is profiting from fetal tissue donation.  It follows the release of an earlier undercover video that sparked congressional investigations and calls for federal defunding of the organization.

Planned Parenthood defector says loophole lets clinics profit from fetal organ sales.  Abby Johnson wasn't horrified by last week's undercover video showing a Planned Parenthood doctor describing over lunch and wine how to "crush" a fetus during an abortion to preserve the organs because she's been there.  In her previous role as clinic director for a Planned Parenthood facility in East Texas, Ms. Johnson said part of her job was to sift through the aborted fetal tissue and organs, pack them in a container with dry ice, check the consent form and "ship them off."

Liberal theory of justice doesn't support abortion.  [Scroll down]  Which brings me to Deborah Nucatola, senior director of "medical research" at Planned Parenthood, the Wal-Mart of the abortion industry.  Dr. Nucatola was caught on video apparently haggling over the market price for fetal body parts.  (Planned Parenthood would prefer it be called the "reimbursement" rate.)  "I'd say a lot of people want liver," she explained to undercover pro-life operatives pretending to be buyers from a biotech company.  So she and her harvesters use ultrasound techniques to figure out where the liver and other desirable organs are.  That way they can be "cognizant of where you put your graspers."

Feds Paid Baby Organ-Harvesting Doc For Advice On 'Healthy Baby' Births.  Deborah Nucatola — the Planned Parenthood doc with the stone-cold heart and the lucrative skill of "crushing" babies in just the right spot — has been advising the Obama administration on family planning policy since 2010.  From April 2010 through April 2014, Nucatola was one of several experts the U.S. Health and Human Services Office of Population Affairs (OPA) and the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) Division of Reproductive Health tasked with creating federal guidelines for "quality family planning services." [...] Leave it to the Obama administration to tap an abortionist for "expert" advice on ensuring that children are "born healthy" — an abortionist, mind you, who relishes butchering a "17-weeker" and bagging up a tiny infant's "heart, lung, liver" to sell for a few extra bucks.  But there's more.  Nucatola is not the only abortionist in the government's family-planning "Expert Work Group."

Buy a Baby's Liver For Just $24K!.  Aside from the obvious question of how many lives have been saved through the use of baby livers (as opposed to livers donated from those who died outside the womb), even that question begs a larger question, namely:  How does the allegedly humanitarian use of a barbarically obtained item justify (or, even minimize) the barbarous practice?  And since Planned Parenthood makes more money the more babies it aborts, and since StemExpress is surely a for-profit company, doesn't that mean that the more abortions, the more profits for all?

Planned Parenthood Suddenly Claims It Pays Women For Organ Harvesting.  The transcript and videos are clear that Nucatola is discussing how much money to sell aborted baby parts for.  But in this backgrounder, Planned Parenthood is claiming the discussion was actually about how abortion clinics pay mothers $30 to $100 per abortion if they donate the body of their child.  That's certainly an interesting claim.  Journalists should ask them to explain more about this payment program, as well as what the total payment they receive from purchasing companies for the bodies of aborted children.  If they claim they're paying mothers $30 to $100 for the bodies of their aborted babies, how much more than that are they claiming to sell the bodies for since, as they state, there are many "additional expenses related [to] tissue donation"?

Take A Seat At Planned Parenthood Theater.  The dialogue in this theater scene uses only direct quotes from the recent Planned Parenthood baby-part-selling video.

ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN Sunday Shows Ignore Planned Parenthood Scandal.  Last week, the Center for Medical Progress released a damning undercover video in which a senior official at Planned Parenthood discussed the organization's practice of manipulating an abortion to salvage baby parts to be sold for medical research, but ABC, CBS, NBC, and CNN all ignored the story during their Sunday morning political talk shows (ABC's This Week, CBS's Face the Nation, CNN's State of the Union and NBC's Meet the Press).  Fox News Sunday was the only one to cover Planned Parenthood during its broadcast, and devoted more than seven minutes to the controversial video.

For Planned Parenthood Black Livers Matter.  If you have ever witnessed one of those "spontaneous" pro-abortion demonstrations held in Washington whenever Congress contemplates curtailing taxpayer funding for Planned Parenthood, you may have noticed that there was something missing — African-American demonstrators.  This is odd, considering that black women are far more likely to have abortions than are their Caucasian counterparts.  And, examined in light of the now infamous video of a white Planned Parenthood official discussing how to crush a baby without damaging marketable livers and other organs, it is particularly ominous.  Why?  Because the terminated baby will probably have been black, and that is no coincidence

Planned Parenthood and the Antithesis of Love.  Planned Parenthood, according to reports, is a leading reason why the White House will not relent and has kept the Little Sisters of the Poor in court fighting the coercive Obamacare insurance mandate for abortion pills, contraception, and female sterilization.  Is there any reason but a blinding ideology why you would want to victimize self-sacrificial women who serve the elderly poor?  And, during his celebration of Planned Parenthood, President Obama took time to criticize the organization's enemies:  "The fact is, after decades of progress, there's [sic] still those who want to turn back the clock to policies more suited to the 1950s than the 21st century.  And they've been involved in an orchestrated and historic effort to roll back basic rights when it comes to women's health."

Ideas For Reporters Struggling To Cover Planned Parenthood.  A few reporters wrote an initial story on the undercover video that caught the senior director for medical services at Planned Parenthood discussing the harvesting of organs from the unborn children killed by abortion.  Another few reporters noted early political repercussions that followed, including the launching of state and federal investigations. [...] But given the many angles that could be covered, the lack of ferocity with which they're tackling this story is noticeable.  Compare, for instance, what happened in the last month with coverage of Confederate flags.

The Media Used To Do Abortion Stings, Not Slam Undercover Work.  After the release of a shocking video by the Center for Medical Progress that shows an abortion doctor talking about harvesting and selling baby parts, the mainstream media refused to cover the story.  No surprise there.  They also blacked out the grisly realities of Kermit Gosnell, an abortion doctor who severed babies' necks and drowned them in toilets.  What the media in our country used to do — investigate and expose the truth — has been left to groups like the nonprofit Center for Medical Progress (CMP).  Through the Human Capital project, these citizen journalists are undergoing extensive sting operations to document how Planned Parenthood sells body parts of aborted babies — a worthy undertaking considering the seriousness of the practice, the ethical questions swirling around it, and the fact that taxpayer money helps fund it.  These journalists have been the watchdogs the mainstream media used to be.

Sen. Lankford on Planned Parenthood Harvesting Human Parts: 'It Was a Human All The Way Through'.  Sen. James Lankford (R-Okla.) made an emotional argument on the Senate floor, questioning how Planned Parenthood places value on human body parts but not the life of the child, "You can't say in one moment that's not a human and then sell it for the next moment as a human organ and say now suddenly it is.  It was a human all the way through."  Lankford made the comments on the Senate Floor Thursday [7/16/2015] in reaction to the viral undercover video of a Planned Parenthood official discussing the organizations abortion practices to harvest body parts.

What abortion is: Getting past the spin.  Despite repeated requests, U.S. Sen. Jeanne Shaheen's office refuses to comment on the video released last Tuesday showing Planned Parenthood's senior director of medical services describing how the organization's abortionists "crush" an infant so that its most valuable body parts can be saved and sold to buyers.  Her silence says a lot about the abortion debate in this country.  Why should Shaheen comment? Planned Parenthood is her 15th largest campaign contributor.  She has been a strong and vocal advocate of public funding for the organization. [...] Shaheen's silence last week is important because it shows just how much the abortion industry depends on euphemisms and spin.  It is one thing to shout support for a "woman's right to choose," it is another to defend the actual horrific practice of killing and dismembering human infants.

Reactions Vary to Video on Baby Parts Sales.  "That's a human being we're talking about.  It doesn't bring me any comfort to know that one child is torn apart so maybe they can do research on the child's organs so at some future moment (they can) help a different child," said an emotional Senator James Lankford.  He was speaking from the floor of the U.S. Senate in reaction to the ghastly video that caught a high-ranking official with Planned Parenthood speaking nonchalantly about the selling of the body parts of aborted babies.  Senator Lankford, a Republican from Oklahoma, noted the irony that the Senate was in the midst of discussions on the "humane treatment of animals being put down," while at the same time, "there were children still being aborted with an instrument reaching into a mother, tearing apart a child."  But in addition to that, the abortionists of Planned Parenthood were careful to protect "certain organs because those organs would be valuable to sell."

Let's Face It: Planned Parenthood Is Evil.  In America, it's illegal to donate money to a candidate without first reporting it to the government.  Even then, if you give more than is permissible, you could end up in jail.  In this country, you can't add trans fats to your foods or smoke cigarettes in your own bar.  Here, the Little Sisters of the Poor can't tell the state they'd rather not buy condoms, and bakers can't tell a couple they'd rather not participate in their wedding.  But it's completely legal to kill an unborn baby for convenience and then sell its parts for cash.

Planned Parenthood mum on whether docs skirting law by altering abortion methods.  The video was secretly shot by the pro-life group Center for Medical Progress last year and released this week to the media.  The video shows Planned Parenthood medical director Deborah Nucatola at a lunch with two people she believed were representatives of a biotech firm, but who were really with CMP.  It shows her ostensibly talking about the best way fetal organs could be extracted from the mother.  "We've been very good at getting heart, lung, liver, because we know that, so I'm not gonna crush that part, I'm gonna basically crush below, I'm gonna crush above, and I'm gonna see if I can get it all intact," Nucatola says.

White House backs Planned Parenthood's explanation for shocking abortion video.  President Obama's top spokesman indicated that the White House is taking Planned Parenthood at its word when the group says it follows all ethical and legal guidelines when it comes to abortion, even after a video was released indicating the group may be violating the law by profiting from donated fetal tissue from abortions.  The Center for Medical Progress, an anti-abortion group, secretly filmed a senior director of Planned Parenthood talking about the sale of body parts of aborted embryos.  That director at one point indicated that it's possible to profit from these exchanges, an act that is against the law.

CNN column: The face of modern America is "discussing pulverized lungs and hearts between mouthfuls of salad".  [Scroll down]  It's the stripping of the euphemisms, of the polite vocabulary for a brutal act, that had Planned Parenthood and its apologists panicking this week.  Deborah Nucatola revealed the exploitation of women inherent in this enterprise, putting their needs as secondary to the desire to harvest organs while they sell the procedure as nothing more than removing a "clump of cells."  Nucatola only exposed the cynicism of the argument that the fetuses aren't human beings by describing the keen desire Planned Parenthood has in protecting the human organs retrieved from killing the humans that were developing them.

Perry to Halperin: So you're all good with that Planned Parenthood video, eh?  I'm not exactly sure where Mark Halperin thought he would take Rick Perry in this exchange, but he clearly didn't expect Perry to lead him into this trap.  On Morning Joe yesterday [7/16/2015], Halperin challenged Perry to more or less endorse Planned Parenthood's government funding by forcing Perry to acknowledge that they provide at least some valuable services, which seems like a very weird form of damage control coming from a journalist.  Shouldn't reporters ask Planned Parenthood to defend themselves in this manner?  Or ask Democrats who want to keep using taxpayer dollars to float Planned Parenthood's abortion mills?

Planned Parenthood video an ugly mirror for America.  This is one horror movie that stays with you long after you've seen it.  An anti-abortion group has released a video that it says shows a Planned Parenthood official discussing the sale of organs and tissue.  Planned Parenthood says it's heavily edited and misleading — and it might be right.  But, frankly, the detail is up for lawyers to debate.  What matters about this video is what it appears to reveal about the reality behind America's sanitized image of abortion; the reality of what an abortion is and how it morally compromises us all.

Ohio AG Launches Investigation Into Planned Parenthood's Trafficking Of Baby Parts.  Ohio Attorney Mike DeWine has launched an investigation into Planned Parenthood's alleged practice of selling aborted baby parts after a video was released earlier this week.  The Attorney General's office oversees non profits.  Since Planned Parenthood has non profit status, this is the avenue DeWine is using for the investigation.  If Planned Parenthood loses it's non profit status as a result of these actions, they will lose their state funding and their tax exempt status.

Planned Parenthood apologizes for exec's 'tone' in video.  The president of Planned Parenthood on Thursday [7/16/2015] apologized for the "tone and statements" of its chief medical officer, whose candid comments about fetal organ removal have generated heavy attacks against the organization.  "Our top priority is the passionate care that we provide.  In our video, one of our staff members speaks in a way that does not reflect that compassion," president Cecile Richards said in a video statement released Thursday afternoon [7/16/2015].  "This is unacceptable, and I personally apologize for the staff member's tone and statements," she said.

Lawmakers Knew About Planned Parenthood Video Weeks Ago.  When an undercover video of a Planned Parenthood executive casually discussing the harvesting of fetal tissue and organs went viral Tuesday [7/14/2015], House Republicans took notice, with party leaders calling for investigations just one day later.  Speaker John A. Boehner and Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy issued terse statements, the Judiciary and Energy and Commerce committees announced hearings and Rep. Lynn Jenkins, R-Kan., called for a Justice Department probe into whether the nation's largest abortion provider broke the law in supplying the tissue to medical research firms.  All in all, it was a furious, news-cycle dominating flurry of Capitol Hill reaction — to a video that at least two top Republicans said they first saw weeks ago.

Planned Parenthood's Real Crime: Making Us Notice.  "Infanticide" called it what it was:  a homicide, a killing of a child who was no less possessed of human dignity for not yet having been born.  "Abortion" was a gentler term — still pejorative because the culture back then remained repulsed by infanticide; yet pregnant, as it were, with ambiguity about exactly what was being aborted — the child's life, or the mother's pregnancy?  And with the abortionist generally being a doctor, "abortion" connoted that "pregnancy" was not about a life to be nourished but a medical condition to be treated.  A "medical condition" is suggestive of illness, not life.  And if we were now just talking about how to treat a medical condition, not killing a child, then abortion became just one option on the menu of "choice."  And whose choice?  Not the child whose life is ended.  The object of these language games is to vanish the child from our consciousness.

Planned Parenthood video shows an apalling trivialization of life.  At first, it seemed like an Internet hoax.  A doctor, over a glass of wine and a salad, coldly describes the extraction and monetization of fetal body parts.  Surely this is some kind of sick parody.  But it is not a hoax.  It is Planned Parenthood's senior director of medical services, Deborah Nucatola, caught in a sting video by an antiabortion group.  Planned Parenthood's reaction essentially confirmed the conversation as genuine, but insisted that it concerned the extraction of tissue for scientific research "under the highest ethical and legal standards."

Planned Parenthood president: Hey, sorry about that doctor's tone when she talked about crushing babies and removing their organs.  [Scroll down]  I'm interested to hear more about the "reimbursement" process in all this.  Planned Parenthood's PR firm issued talking points recently to assist the many, many sympathetic reporters in the media who are eager to help them spin this story, and one point stressed was that Nucatola's reference in the video to a $30-100 fee was misunderstood.  It wasn't PP that was receiving that money, the firm insisted, it was "the range of reimbursement that patients can receive after stating they wish to donate any tissue after a procedure."  So ... the woman having the abortion gets a cut of the deal too?

Planned Parenthood and the Statist Abyss.  On Tuesday [7/14/2015], a sickening undercover video blew up the Internet, and for good reason: Dr. Deborah Nucatola, Planned Parenthood's senior director of medical services, was caught on camera yukking it up over red wine and a fancy salad.  The topic:  how to best kill an unborn baby in order to preserve, and then distribute, the resulting dead baby parts through a taxpayer-subsidized organization.

The Left's telling aversion to facts and plain language on abortion.  When is organ harvesting no longer organ harvesting?  When do biotech companies get described simply as medical researchers?  When are human beings described as the products of conception?  When abortion is the issue at hand, of course.  In a new undercover video, Planned Parenthood's senior director of medical services, Dr. Deborah Nucatola, discusses how different clinics deal in the organs of the babies they abort.  The episode has not only demonstrated the gruesome underside of the abortion business, but also the denial and obfuscation required to embrace the absolutist pro-choice position held by Planned Parenthood and its allies in politics and the media.

Planned Parenthood's apology confronted by pledge of 'proof'.  As the president of Planned Parenthood took to YouTube to vehemently deny making money from the sale of aborted babies' body parts, the anti-abortion group behind a stunning video exposing the alleged practice claims it has more proof.  "I want to be really clear.  The allegation that Planned Parenthood profits in any way from tissue donation is not true," the organization's president, Cecile Richards, said in a video posted yesterday [7/18/2015].  But anti-abortion crusader Troy Newman, a consultant on the three-year investigation by the Center for Medical Progress into the alleged fetal farming, said the group's next video "is going to counteract that."

Perry Turns Planned Parenthood Fetal Body Parts Scandal Back on MSNBC's Halperin.  As usual, much of the press has responded to scandalous behavior by leftist sacred cows by making the story about Republicans criticizing the actions instead of the scandal itself.  On the one hand, are we really supposed to believe that only pro-lifers are horrified by the evidence that Planned Parenthood, aka Planned Parthood, sells the body parts of aborted preborn babies? [...] I hope not.  So it's more than fair to turn the question around on anyone who tries to isolate the objections in that way.

Cash-4-Cadavers: What's So Shocking about Selling Baby Parts?  When it comes to ghoulish zeal, Dr. Hannibal Lecter has nothing on Planned Parenthood's Dr. Deborah Nucatola, except for maybe a few fava beans to accompany his talk of consuming a man's liver.  Whether or not the red wine Dr. Nucatola swigged with her salad was a nice Chianti remains unknown.  A morsel of information that should give pause to Obamacare fans is the realization that the esteemed doctor is also the senior director of medical services at Barack Obama's favorite taxpayer-funded women's health clinic/death factory, Planned Parenthood.

The United States is a Dying Country.  This nation is repeating the disastrous evolutionary process that has plagued so many failed countries throughout mankind's history.  This process begins with a society willing to reject the fundamental concept that is necessary for any nation to thrive and prosper:  respect for the uniqueness of each individual and self-determination.  Recently the revelation that Planned Parenthood is selling, without a second thought, body parts of aborted human beings for profit is a significant indicator of the depth to which this nation has fallen over the past 45 years.

Planned Parenthood video shows commodification of death.  In 2013, the criminal trial of Kermit Gosnell and his abortion "house of horrors" shocked the nation.  For years, state inspectors had overlooked numerous egregious violations at Gosnell's Philadelphia facility — it was a sanitary disaster, he was killing already-delivered babies and it was also a fire-trap from which patients could not be safely extracted in case of emergencies resulting from his quackery.  Worst of all, at least two women had died from botched abortions there, and countless others had been maimed.  That case showed the perils of ideologically motivated under-regulation and under-enforcement in a medical field that, to put it mildly, doesn't always attract the best, brightest or most scrupulous of medical practitioners.

Disgraced Planned Parenthood Official Works For White House Staff — Her 'Right-Wing' Hatred Exposed.  Disgraced Planned Parenthood official Deborah Nucatola's shocking personal work history is coming to light.  Records reveal that Nucatola was employed by a former White House staffer at the time that she was selling aborted baby fetus parts.  A staunch political advocate, Nucatola railed against the "right-wing" Bush administration.  What's more, she so enjoyed her work in the abortion industry that she touted a T-shirt celebrating a drug used in the practice.

Scott Walker: 'We Defunded Planned Parenthood' in Wisconsin.  During his first trip to New Hampshire since the launch of his presidential campaign, Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker outlined his resume as a conservative governor of a blue state, including lowering taxes, reducing regulations, and cutting funding for Planned Parenthood.  "We defunded Planned Parenthood, which is particularly important these days in light of what we've seen on video," Walker said during a campaign stop at Joey's Diner.  Walker was referencing an undercover video released on Tuesday [7/14/2015] by the Center for Medical Progress showing Planned Parenthood's senior director of medical services, Dr. Deborah Nucatola, discussing the sale of fetal organs such as hearts, lungs and livers at affiliates of the nation's largest abortion provider.

We cannot be a nation that does this to our children.  I realize that our nation remains divided on the issue of abortion, but surely we are not divided on the procurement and sale of human organs.  Babies were discussed, in the video, like they are an item to be casually harvested then purchased in a grocery story.  How far have we come as a society when we resort to harvesting body parts for monetary gain?

Deborah Nucatola: who is she?  Deborah Nucatola is the twenty-first [century] version of Margaret Sanger.  But Deborah Nucatola is even more evil than Sanger.  I don't know what's more sickening, Deborah Nucatola freely admitting to selling baby body parts on behalf of Planned Parenthood, or the fact that our tax dollars are used to fund Planned Parenthood and baby part sales every year.  In [a] video released by the Center of Medical Progress, Debroah Nucatola continues to stuff her face, and drink wine while discussing the selling of aborted baby parts.  It's beyond chilling.

Planned Parenthood video prompts GOP probe of potential illegal sale of fetal body parts.  The day after the release of an undercover video, House Republicans promised they will "dig deep" into the potential illegal sale of fetal body parts for research and Planned Parenthood Federation of America's involvement with it.  "There will be questions raised about what was legal and what was not legal.  But above all, we believe Americans have a right to know what is occurring, and understand that that which is legal is not necessarily moral and ethical," said Rep. Tim Murphy, Pennsylvania Republican and chairman of the House Energy and Commerce subcommittee on oversight and investigations.

Shock: ABC, CBS Cover Planned Parenthood Baby Parts Scandal; Video by 'Anti-Abortion Activists'.  Following a censorship on Tuesday night [7/14/2015] and Wednesday morning of video showing Planned Parenthood senior director of medical services Dr. Deborah Nucatola discussing the selling of body parts from aborted babies, ABC and CBS ended their blackouts on Wednesday night with coverage on their evening newscasts, but made sure to hype the Center for Medical Progress (CMP) as "anti-abortion activists."  On the Spanish-language networks, however, the story remained much the same on Wednesday night as MundoFox, Telemundo, and Univision all continued their refusal to even acknowledge the video.

Company Purchasing Aborted Baby Parts from Planned Parenthood Takes Website Down.  A business called Stem Express to which Planned Parenthood allegedly sells body parts of aborted fetuses has taken down its website for "maintenance."  Life News reported Wednesday that the site for the business went into "maintenance mode" after video surfaced Tuesday of Dr. Deborah Nucatola, senior director of medical services at Planned Parenthood Federation of America, discussing the organization's sale of body parts from aborted babies to Stem Express.  According to screenshots obtained of the Stem Express website, the site was active as of Tuesday [7/14/2015].  Video of the Planned Parenthood doctor touting the sale of heart, liver and other body parts of aborted babies was captured undercover by the non-profit organization Center for Medical Progress.

Questions the Media Needs to Ask Democrats about the Planned Parenthood Videotape.  The media loves to browbeat Republican presidential candidates with "gotcha" questions — questions designed to trip up or embarrass a candidate by making him or her seem extreme, uncompassionate, or incompetent.  The questions can be about almost anything, but the darlings are religion, sex, evolution, gay marriage, and abortion. [...] But reporters are nothing if not persistent, and they'll take any controversy they can get their hands on and shove it in the face of a Republican candidate to get an unscripted — and hopefully damaging — response.  Seldom do reporters pose the same kinds of gotcha questions to Democrat candidates, preferring instead softballs that gently encourage candidates to explain their positions on their own terms.

Questions the Media Needs to Ask Democrats about the Planned Parenthood Videotape.  [Scroll down]  Now an undercover videotape has emerged that shows a Planned Parenthood executive sipping wine while explaining how the organization harvests body parts of aborted fetuses and sell them.  "I'd say a lot of people want liver," says Dr. Deborah Nucatola, senior director of medical services for Planner Parenthood.  "And for that reason, most providers will do this case under ultrasound guidance, so they'll know where they're putting their forceps."  In the videotape, Dr. Nucatola blithely talks about how to harvest the desired organs without doing damage to them — even if it means "crushing" other parts.

Planned Parenthood's Still Legally Free To Traffic Baby Body Parts.  Planned Parenthood says a video of one of its executives bragging about selling fetal organs was heavily edited and that they haven't broken any laws.  It appears they might be right.

Planned Parenthood and other abortion ghouls.  The video of a Planned Parenthood director, Deborah Nucatola, graphically discussing over lunch the harvesting of organs from aborted fetuses, and how their intact livers bring top dollar to researchers has gone viral.  But the truth of this abortion business is much, much worse.  Scientists might see some value in these organs for this practice, In fact, the PR firm for PP said the organization's harvesting of human organs is a "humanitarian undertaking."  "Aborted pregnancy tissue donation and research are humanitarian undertakings that hold the potential to cure disease, save lives, and ameliorate suffering[.]"  Oh really?  Can we put our taste buds into that category because companies like Pepsi, Kraft, Nestles, and many other companies get their flavor enhancers from a biotech company that uses clones of old fetal cell lines.

Megyn Kelly Sounds Off About Planned Parenthood Video.  A newly released undercover video is raising questions about Planned Parenthood's practices.  The shocking video, shot last July, shows Deborah Nucatola, Planned Parenthood's senior director of medical research, having lunch with two undercover Center for Medical Progress activists.  Nucatola discusses the body parts of aborted fetus and how they are in demand, Fox News reported.  Megyn Kelly and Dana Loesch got into a heated debate with Democratic strategist Robert Zimmerman about the content of the video tonight [7/15/2015].

Mainstream Media Refuses To Give Planned Parenthood Scandal Legs. The Question Is: Why?  Whenever abortion pops into the picture, emotions run high.  But where do mainstream newspapers get off simply not reporting the news?  This is what happened Tuesday when a video of a Planned Parenthood exec discussing the sale of aborted fetus parts over lunch went viral.  Who eats salad while discussing fetal livers?

Planned Parenthood's Body Parts Racket.  Planned Parenthood has been caught on undercover video admitting that it targets and harvests body parts of aborted fetuses for profit.  This is illegal.  Why are taxpayers still funding this group?

Boehner launches congressional probe of Planned Parenthood.  Top Republican leaders in the House have instructed relevant committees to investigate Planned Parenthood, after a video was made public indicating that the group may be selling fetal body parts for profit.  House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, released a statement saying that "nothing is more precious than life," and that if Planned Parenthood is really working to "monetize an unborn child," then "we must all act."

The Bad, Worse, & Ugly: Media Coverage of Planned Parenthood's Organ Harvesting Scandal.  At 8:00 a.m. on Tuesday morning [7/14/2015], a pro-life group released two videos showing Planned Parenthood executive Deborah Nucatola munching on a salad and sipping red wine while discussing the harvesting of organs from babies killed by abortion.  One was a nearly nine-minute edited video of the nearly three-hour discussion.  The other was the unedited discussion.  Because of the graphic nature of the discussion — Nucatola specifically discusses altering abortion procedures to procure hearts, brains, lungs, and livers from the babies whose lives Planned Parenthood ends by abortion — the video immediately lit up social media.

Anti-abortion group: More Planned Parenthood videos coming.  Congressional Republicans say they will launch an investigation of Planned Parenthood as a result of an undercover video released by the Center for Medical Progress, an anti-abortion group, asserting the women's health organization sells body parts from abortions.  The founder of the Center for Medical Progress also told CBS News his group has up to a dozen additional videos of top officials from Planned Parenthood across the country talking about the sales, which will be released in the days to come, reports CBS News correspondent Jan Crawford.

Planned Parenthood: The Next Relic From Our Racist Past That Must Be Purged.  Since 1973, Planned Parenthood has helped execute 13 million black babies before they were born.  That's more than 20 times the total number of Union soldiers the racist Confederate army killed, wounded or captured during the entire Civil War.  If the carcasses of all the black babies Planned Parenthood has killed and dismembered were its own state, it would be the 5th-most populous state in the nation.  That, my dear comrades, is a lot of dead babies.  And this systematic extermination of black America isn't some random coincidence, but rather a well-coordinated plot that dates back to the death merchant's original founder.  It's been suggested that if we're going to replace Founding Father Alexander Hamilton's likeness on our currency with that of an influential woman, why not go with Margaret Sanger?

Our Broken Country.  In case you missed it, Planned Parenthood's Senior Director of Medical Services was caught on tape (released today) essentially admitting to the sale (by Planned Parenthood affiliates) of aborted baby parts.  Some troglodyte liberals initially suggested that the video was edited unfairly, a curious defense in light of the fact that PPFA wasn't making this claim themselves.  The full video was released this afternoon which indicates why — there is no way to interpret the full interaction in any other light.  As LifeNews notes, some of the film's "greatest moments" include highlights like these: [...]

AP: It's Not Selling Aborted Unborn Baby Parts, It's the 'Disposition of Fetal Remains'.  We've long known that the Associated Press is loathe to refer to unborn children as unborn children, preferring the clinical term "fetus."  But in covering a shocking new story about how Planned Parenthood sells fetal tissue from aborted babies for profit, the AP bent over backwards to use clinical euphemisms to soften the blow of the ghoulish practice.

'A Lot of People Want Liver': Planned Parenthood's Bloody Business.  A lot of people want liver."  So says Planned Parenthood's director of medical services, Dr. Deborah Nucatola, between bites of what one must assume are fava beans and sips of a nice Chianti, Dr. Nucatola doing a fair impersonation of Dr. Lecter.  She did not know she was being recorded, and that the tissue-procurement firm with which she thought she was doing business was an undercover investigator from the Center for Medical Progress.

Pro-Life Carly Fiorina Responds to Breitbart's Breaking Story on Planned Parenthood.  "I am proudly pro-life.  I believe that every human life has potential and that every human life is precious.  This latest news is tragic and outrageous.  This isn't about "choice."  It's about profiting on the death of the unborn while telling women it's about empowerment."

Planned Parenthood Video Explains Late-Term/Partial-Birth Abortion Movement — Money.  The Center for Medical Progress, a non-profit group "dedicated to monitoring and reporting on medical ethics and advances" released undercover video Tuesday [7/14/2015] that appears to show Planned Parenthood's Senior Director of Medical Services, Dr. Deborah Nucatola, nonchalantly brokering the sale of aborted baby parts.  Suddenly the entire late-term/partial-birth movement makes better sense — MONEY.

Several Dems defend Planned Parenthood.  Several House Democrats are coming to the defense of Planned Parenthood in the wake of a now-viral video that shows its chief medical director graphically detailing the uses for organs of aborted fetuses.  "Planned Parenthood is actually allowed, is my understanding, for scientific research, to use fetal tissue and that is not illegal," said Rep. Jan Schakowsky (D-Ill.), a member of the Congressional Pro-Choice Caucus and sponsor of numerous abortion-rights bills.

Video of Planned Parenthood official discussing fetal body parts for cash has abortion advocates scrambling.  The latest in a series of pro-life undercover sting videos features to reach the public shows Planned Parenthood's senior director of medical research, Deborah Nucatola, graphically discussing over lunch how to harvest organs from a baby being aborted, and the financial terms under which they could be shipped to medical researchers.  It looks very, very bad, almost as if a big (nine figures in annual revenue) recipient of federal funding is killing babies to sell their parts for cash (a felony under federal law):

Planned Parenthood's PR Firm: Harvesting Organs of Aborted Babies a 'Humanitarian Undertaking'.  In background documents sent to reporters on Tuesday, Planned Parenthood's public relations firm calls the organization's harvesting of human organs a "humanitarian undertaking."  "Aborted pregnancy tissue donation and research are humanitarian undertakings that hold the potential to cure disease, save lives, and ameliorate suffering," according to the "backgrounder" distributed by Camino Public Relations, which has a longstanding relationship with Planned Parenthood Federation of America.

Jindal Announces Planned Parenthood Investigation, Halts Licenses for New Abortion Clinic.  Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal announced Tuesday he is directing his state's Department of Health and Hospitals to launch an investigation into Planned Parenthood.  This comes on the heels of the release of an investigative video by pro-life group Center for Medical Progress depicting the abortion giant's chief medical officer speaking about how to abort a baby intact to harvest its body parts for sale.

The Wine-Sipping Butchers of Planned Parenthood.  Hannibal Lecter ain't got nothing on the profit-maximizing abortion ghoul caught on tape hawking aborted baby parts as she swilled wine and nibbled on a gourmet salad.  In newly released undercover footage from the pro-life Center for Medical Progress, seasoned abortionist Dr. Deborah Nucatola, who serves as national senior director of "medical services" at Planned Parenthood, chitter-chattered eagerly about fulfilling the bloodthirsty demand for "intact hearts," "lower extremities" and lungs.  Price tag?  "You know, I would throw a number out," she babbled breezily as she twirled her fork.  "I would say it's probably anywhere from $30 to $100" per specimen.  Hollywood couldn't conjure monsters this chillingly, banally evil.

Planned Parenthood denies group's claim that video shows official discussing sale of fetal organs for research.  An anti-abortion group released a video Tuesday [7/14/2015] it says shows a Planned Parenthood official discussing the sale of body parts from aborted fetuses for use in research.  Planned Parenthood says the video released by the Center for Medical Progress misrepresents the work of the women's health group, but it has the agency on the defensive, and Louisiana governor and GOP presidential candidate Bobby Jindal announced he's asked the Louisiana Department of Health and Hospitals to investigate Planned Parenthood's activities in the state.

Here's the Company That Buys Aborted Body Parts from Planned Parenthood.  In the gruesome and now viral video that shows a Planned Parenthood medical officer talking to undercover actors posing as biotech entrepreneurs about the prospects of buying fetal body parts, the name of one company pops up several times.  In the context of selling aborted fetal tissue, Dr. Deborah Nucatola is seen and heard discussing her ongoing relationship with a company called StemExpress that works as the middleman between Planned Parenthood affiliates and research institutes that use the body parts in scientific experimentation.

Planned Parenthood Reacts: We're Not Selling Baby Parts — We're Getting Reimbursed for 'Tissue' Donations.  A couple of quick thoughts here.  First, since it's illegal to sell human fetal tissue, we could hardly expect to Planned Parenthood admit to criminal wrongdoing.  Watch the tape again.  Does it appear to you that the discussion deals only with reimbursement?  The Center for Medial Progress — the entity that created the video — has posted a flyer that it claims was distributed to Planned Parenthood clinics and that promises "financial profits" from the "raw materials" that are "usually discarded during obstetrical procedures."  Further inquiry isn't just reasonable, it's necessary.  Second, I have to laugh when Planned Parenthood claims to abide by the "highest ethical and legal standards."  Their business model is an abomination.  And it is pitiful to use the phrase "appropriate consent" to describe the deliberate killing of an innocent human being, with the killing performed in such a way as to preserve a "menu" of the most valuable parts.

Dem Candidates Silent On Alleged Planned Parenthood Felonies.  Democratic presidential candidates were silent in the wake footage released Tuesday [7/14/2015] showing Planned Parenthood's top doctor allegedly describing how the clinics sell the body parts of aborted babies.  None of the declared Democratic presidential candidates — former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, Sen. Bernie Sanders, former Gov. Martin O'Malley, former Sen. Jim Webb, and former Gov. Lincoln Chafee — responded to multiple requests for comment from The Daily Caller News Foundation regarding the video.

GOP Candidates React To Undercover Video Of Planned Parenthood.  Republican presidential candidates are weighing in on the video made public Tuesday [7/14/2015] of a top Planned Parenthood doctor admitting clinics routinely sell body parts after abortions.  "The video showing a Planned Parenthood employee selling the body parts of aborted children is a disturbing reminder of the organization's penchant for profiting off the tragedy of a destroyed human life," said former Texas Gov. Rick Perry.  "Today's video of a Planned Parenthood official discussing the systematic harvesting and trafficking of human body parts is shocking and gruesome," said Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal.

The Washington Post tries to put a leftist spin on this scandal:
Undercover video shows Planned Parenthood official discussing fetal organs used for research.  Over lunch at a Los Angeles restaurant, two antiabortion activists posing as employees from a biotech firm met with Deborah Nucatola, Planned Parenthood's senior director of medical research.  Armed with cameras, the activists recorded Nucatola talking about Planned Parenthood's work donating fetal tissue to researchers and pressed her on whether the clinics were charging for the organs.  The Center for Medical Progress, which recorded and edited the video, says the footage proves that Planned Parenthood is breaking the law by selling fetal organs.  But the video does not show Nucatola explicitly talking about selling organs.

Rebuttal:
WaPo Gets Planned Parenthood Abortion Organ Harvesting Story Wrong.  The Washington Post appears to be struggling a bit to cover today's blockbuster story about the undercover video of Planned Parenthood harvesting and selling organs from aborted fetuses.  First, they changed the headline to something that's far more friendly to Planned Parenthood without noting the change.  [Screenshots]  Second, the story is substantively wrong.

Taxpayer-Funded Planned Parenthood Sells Baby Parts.  Planned Parenthood thinks it can put a price on a baby:  $30 to $100 per part.  An undercover investigative video released July 14 showed a Planned Parenthood executive confess that her taxpayer-funded organization sells the body parts of aborted babies by using the partial-birth abortion procedure to ensure the baby parts stay intact.  Pro-life leaders challenged the abortion giant after the Center for Medical Progress, a citizen journalist group focused on medical ethics, caught the scene on camera.

Video: Planned Parenthood's profit off of fetal body parts.  Live Action today features another exposé of Planned Parenthood, but this time it's not just one clinic violating state laws on reporting or practices.  The Center for Medical Progress conducted an undercover investigation into PP's operations in sales of fetal body parts, a practice prohibited by federal law, and they went to the executive management of the abortion-mill chain to uncover it.

Jindal orders LA probe, halt to PP license.  It took a few hours for Planned Parenthood to respond to the Center for Medical Progress exposé earlier today [7/14/2015].  LifeNews reports that their VP for communications wants everyone to know there's no real story here.  This is just business as usual.

House Republicans Aim To Strip Planned Parenthood's Funding.  House Republicans released a budget proposal this week that would eliminate Title X funding — which provides funding to Planned Parenthood for contraceptives and abortion-inducing drugs — an act pro-abortion advocates immediately characterized as an attack against women.

Two Planned Parenthood workers who taught high school sex-ed, revealed to be sex-toy instructor and 'pleasure activist'.  Parents with students at one California high school recently learned that two Planned Parenthood employees who taught their impressionable children sex education also held down some controversial side jobs.  One of the sex-ed instructors at Acalanes Union High School in Lafayette also taught a class on sex toys at a nearby shop while the other identified herself as a 'pleasure activist' on her now-deleted Twitter profile.  The job history of the two teachers was revealed after parents learned about the school's partnership with Planned Parenthood and demanded the curriculum be changed.

Republican Congress moves to defund Planned Parenthood.  Title X is not the only vehicle by which Planned Parenthood uses the government to dip into Americans' income.  The corporation received $655,000 in public money to be a "navigator" for Obamacare in 2013, plus $75 million through the Personal Responsibility Education Program (PREP), a creature of Obamacare, allegedly for sex education.  (Parents should keep in mind that even if this money is on the level, Planned Parenthood's version of sex education is horrifying.)  In its latest annual report, Planned Parenthood quantifies the total tax money it received at $528.4 million, or 41% of its total revenue, with 327,653 abortions committed.  At a conservative estimate of $451 for the average abortion, that makes about $150 million in revenue directly from ripping children apart.

Planned Parenthood performed 327K abortions in fiscal 2014: 'We've come a long way'.  Planned Parenthood's fiscal 2014 report puts the number of abortions the organization performed at 327,653.  "We've come a long way since Margaret Sanger was jailed in 1916 for opening America's very first birth control clinic," the report states before thanking the organization's advocates for their support.

Planned Parenthood: We Aborted 327,653 in FY2014.  Planned Parenthood clinics did 327,653 abortions in its fiscal year 2014 (which ran from July 1, 2013 to June 30, 2014), according to Planned Parenthood Federation of America's newly released annual report.  That works out to an average of 37 abortions per hour or nearly 1 every 90 seconds.

Chevron Donates $26,000 to Planned Parenthood, Blocks Shareholder Resolution to Complain.  One of the world's largest oil companies has not only donated tens of thousands of dollars to one of the world's biggest abortion companies, but it blocked a shareholder resolution complaining about it.  Tom Strobhar, Chairman of Life Decision International, which monitors companies that donate to Planned Parenthood, said the corporation blocked a resolution by a teacher from Chicago complaining about the donation.

Planned Parenthood's Pastoral Letter: God's fine with abortion.  Wanting to expand the abortion industry into the faith community, Planned Parenthood has come up with a letter to expectant mothers, assuring them that God is fine with abortion.

Democrats Must Accept That This Year's 'War On Women' Was A Disaster.  [Scroll down]  Elizabeth Plank, a senior editor at Mic, wrote an unintentionally hilarious and easily mocked piece "Wendy Davis Lost, But Here's Why She Really Won."  And yet that's exactly what Planned Parenthood tried to say to convince its allies in the media.  Check out these hilarious tweets.  Remember, when abortion activists use the phrase "women's health," they're referring to abortion of children in the womb and/or birth control policies that don't include over-the-counter availability: [...]

Planned Parenthood Touts Election Ground Game.  As America prepares for its final day of voting on Tuesday's Election Day, abortion mill Planned Parenthood says it has upped its get-out-the-vote game and is ready for a Democrat victory.  Two of the abortion groups' get-out-the-vote operations, Planned Parenthood Action Fund and Planned Parenthood Votes, are all-in for some of the nation's most vulnerable Democrats such as North Carolina's Kay Hagan.

Ohio Town Covered In Planned Parenthood Banners.  While small towns and cities throughout the country are gearing up for Halloween, one city in Ohio has a different kind of municipal decor — Planned Parenthood banners.  One reader sent The Daily Caller these photos of Planned Parenthood banners attached to lampposts throughout the town of Wooster in northeastern Ohio.

Planned Parenthood Suggests Minor Should "Horse Whip" Herself.  "I would say anything within the sexual world is normal as long as it's consensual."  This is the advice of a Planned Parenthood employee. In the fourth shocking video from the pro-life group Live Action's under cover investigation, "SexEd: Planned Parenthood's Dangerous Sex Advice for Kids," another clinic is exposed promoting bondage and submission, sadism and masochism.  Here's just a taste of the advice an employee at the Minneapolis-St. Paul facility gave to an under cover minor regarding her sexual adventures with her boyfriend: [...]

Colorado Atty. General to Investigate Planned Parenthood Videos Coaching Young Girls in BDSM.  The attorney general of Colorado says he will have his staff review the Live Action investigative video of a Denver Planned Parenthood employee coaching a young woman, believed to be only 15-years old, in the practice of high-risk sexual activities, including bondage/discipline and sado-masochistic sex (BDSM).

Ice Cream Shop Honors Planned Parenthood by Creating New Flavor, Donating Portion of Proceeds.  An Oregon ice cream shop named "What's the Scoop?" decided to help Planned Parenthood raise money with an exclusive "Rose City Revolution" flavor:  a blend of Oregon-grown organic rose petals, local honey, and Madagascar, Tahitian, Mexican and Indonesian vanillas.  Planned Parenthood Advocates of Oregon announced that the ice cream shop would be creating the special flavor, and donating 10% of sales, on its Facebook page.  After a Lifenews blog took note of Planned Parenthood's advertisement, What's the Scoop? began to receive an unexpected backlash.

Planned Parenthood Schools Underage Girls In Violent Sex.  Planned Parenthood staffers are using taxpayer money to instruct underage girls in dangerous and violent sex practices — including whipping, bondage and choking, according to a new video released by the anti-abortion group Live Action Tuesday [7/15/2014].  The uncensored footage obtained by The Daily Caller shows staffers telling investigators posing as underage girls to experiment with violent sex play in response to generic questions about sex.

What A Planned Parenthood Clinic Is Being Sued For Is A Sickening Show Of Its Priorities.  In Denver, Colorado, a local Planned Parenthood clinic is being sued by a mother who is alleging that they refused to report the suspected sexual abuse of her daughter by her stepfather, Timothy David Smith.  Cary Smith is alleging that Planned Parenthood performed an abortion on her then 13-year-old daughter, R.Z., who was brought there by Timothy, who was also the unborn baby's father, and that Planned Parenthood failed to report clear signs of possible sexual abuse and returned her home with her rapist.

Planned Parenthood Hosts "Condom Crafting".  The Planned Parenthood Vandalia abortion feeder clinic in Minneapolis-St. Paul, MN recently had "cause for celebration."  That's because a new commuter rail line stop just opened near the clinic, giving clients more convenient access to it.  The organization's "can't miss event" hosted activities that were "friendly for kids and fun for grown-ups" to celebrate the new line. [...] "Friendly for kids?"  I don't think so.  Oh, and don't forget.  Planned Parenthood still receives over $500 million in funding from taxpayers like you.

Probe finds Planned Parenthood pushing teens to try sadism, domination, asphyxiation.  A new video probe by the group Live Action, known for exposing shocking abortion clinic techniques, reveals some Planned Parenthood counselors and associates pushing curious teens to engage in domination, sadism and even asphyxiation.  "If it's consensual, it's OK," said an unidentified Planned Parenthood counselor on a video trailer of a longer version due out Wednesday.

Planned Parenthood's Full-Spectrum Assault On Women.  Since its inception in 1916 as the nation's first birth control clinic, Planned Parenthood has said it is fighting for the rights of women.  That claim continues today, with Planned Parenthood fighting against pro-life regulations in numerous states because, they say, women are helped by abortion.  From a Catholic perspective it is clear that Planned Parenthood's pro-women rhetoric is a farce.  Its support for abortion and contraception alone should garner opposition from any Catholic worthy of the title.  Unfortunately, Planned Parenthood's agenda has worked its way into American culture in such a way that Catholic arguments don't garner the sympathy of the American public at large.

Planned Parenthood counselor withheld info on rape, police report reveals.  A Planned Parenthood counselor in Arizona intentionally miscoded a sexual assault as a consensual encounter to avoid the "hassle" of reporting it to authorities, months before other victims came forward to stop an alleged 18-year-old serial sex predator, a police report reveals.

Planned Parenthood Covers Up Rape... Again.  Planned Parenthood, the abortion giant receiving nearly $500 million of your tax dollars every year, has a history of covering up rape, particularly rape of minors.  This habitual behavior has been well documented and exposed in eight clinics around the country by Live Action through a series of video investigations.  Now, another Planned Parenthood is being accused of covering up rape, this time in Arizona.

Planned Parenthood, Oregon Help Host 'Adolescent Sexuality Conference'.  What do you get when the state of Oregon, Planned Parenthood, and pharmaceutical companies that produce contraceptives get in bed together?  The Seaside Adolescent Sexuality Conference (ASC).  Marketed under the pretense of trying to prevent youth pregnancy and STD transmission, the conference, which took place earlier this week, is actually a platform for promoting a disturbing sexual agenda that has little to do with either.  On the contrary, the dangerous practices urged onto Oregon youth this week by ASC workshops were basically infomercials glamorizing the habits that lead to teen pregnancy and STD transmission and then using semantics to re-package liberal messages about abortion and sexual identity.

Ruling: Kansas Can Strip Planned Parenthood Funds.  A federal appeals court on Tuesday ruled that Kansas can strip two Planned Parenthood clinics of federal family planning money while the organization moves forward with its legal challenge of a state law it says is retaliation for its advocacy of abortion rights.

[Senator] Pelosi [is] Getting [an] Award Named for [a] Woman Who Said [it is] 'Most Merciful' to Kill [an] 'Infant'.  Planned Parenthood on Thursday will give House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) its Margaret Sanger Award, named for a woman who advocated eugenics and who wrote that large families would be doing what was "most merciful" if they killed one of their infants.  "The most merciful thing that the large family does to one of its infant members is to kill it," wrote Sanger.  Planned Parenthood is giving Pelosi, a Catholic, its Margaret Sanger Award because of her "leadership, excellence, and outstanding contributions to the reproductive health and rights movement over the course of her career."

The Editor says...
By now, Margaret Sanger's errors have been made abundantly clear to her.

Why Did Nancy Pelosi Accept an Award Named After Sanger?  Democrat Rep. Nancy Pelosi [...] has accepted an award named for Margaret Sanger.  And Margaret Sanger was definitely a racist monster who advocated murdering live children for the sake of eliminating "undesirables."

Kansas can pull Planned Parenthood funding: appeals court.  A federal appeals court panel on Tuesday [3/25/2014] upheld a 2011 Kansas law that would stop federal family planning money the state receives from flowing to two Planned Parenthood clinics.

Planned Parenthood attempts to unseat lawmaker whose cousin was killed by Gosnell procedure.  The political arm of Pennsylvania's Planned Parenthood has endorsed the political opponent of Democratic State Rep. Margo Davidson, the cousin of a woman who died at the hands of Kermit Gosnell.

Pelosi to Receive Planned Parenthood Award Honoring Eugenicist.  Next week, the Planned Parenthood Federation of America will present House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) with the Margaret Sanger Award.  The award is the group's "highest honor" and is named for a woman who believed in breeding better humans through eugenics.  Planned Parenthood is the nation's leading abortion provider, having performed 327,166 of the procedures in 2012, according to its latest annual report.  Pelosi, a Catholic, will receive the Margaret Sanger Award at the PPFA's annual gala in Washington, D.C. on Mar. 27.

Planned Parenthood announces 500-plus events to promote Obamacare.  As the March 31 Obamacare sign-up deadline nears, Planned Parenthood is going to bat for the White House, hosting more than 500 events in 18 cities to get Americans into the health insurance system.  In eight states, officials from the women's health and abortion provider will go to grocery stories and even indoor soccer fields to enroll people.  It also plans to dispatch 500 canvassers to knock on 20,000 doors.

Planned Parenthood funds S&M Web video.  A video funded by Planned Parenthood of Northern New England discussing bondage and sadomasochism is coming under fire for its subject matter.  "They're offering information on what is really a violent act and making it acceptable to young people," said Bryan McCormack, executive director of Cornerstone Policy Research & Cornerstone Action, which promotes strong families and limited government.  Planned Parenthood said it is using private donations — not government funds — to pay for a series of sexual education videos, including one titled "Getting Kinky — BDSM 101."

Breeders: How Gay Men Destroyed the Left.  Surrogacy is the use of a contract, by which a woman agrees to carry a gestating child in her womb for another party (usually an infertile heterosexual couple or a gay male couple), and also agrees to abandon the child to the couple who has engaged her services. [...] Planned Parenthood does not seem eager to oppose surrogacy as exploitation of women, largely because it is career-oriented "liberated" women who often need to turn to surrogacy contracts, having aborted too many times in their twenties and then postponed childbearing to focus on their professional ascendancy.

Planned Parenthood plots major spending spree for 2014 midterm elections.  Anti-abortion lawmakers, beware. Planned Parenthood's political operations are planning their largest-ever campaign blitz for this year's midterm and gubernatorial elections, poised to pour millions into key races that could determine who controls Congress.  The group's political arm has in the past bought up gobs of campaign-season airtime to attack social conservatives as "extreme."  Their track record is mixed, but the abortion provider played at least some role in the defeat last year of Republican gubernatorial candidate Ken Cuccinelli in Virginia.

Planned Parenthood President: When Life Begins Not 'Really Relevant' in Abortion Debate.  "It is not something that I feel is really part of this conversation," Cecile Richards of Planned Parenthood told Fusion's Jorge Ramos on Thursday.  "I don't know if it's really relevant to the conversation."  When pressed, Richards said that in her view life began for her three children when she delivered them.

The Editor says...
If they are not alive, how do unborn babies squirm and kick, and how do they grow?

Planned Parenthood Affiliate Produces Video Promoting Bondage and Sadomasochism to Teens.  Planned Parenthood of Northern New England (PPNNE) — which received more than $2.75 million in government funding in 2012 — has produced and posted online a video specifically aimed at teenagers that promotes bondage and sadomasochism (BDSM) and proposes "rules" to follow when engaging in these activities.  "People sometimes think that those who practice BDSM are emotionally scarred or were once abused — not true, it's a total myth," the host of the video, Laci Green, informs its intended audience of teens.

Wendy Davis gets big donations from abortion rights backers.  Democrat Wendy Davis collected $100,000 in the last month from Austin Planned Parenthood board member Aimee Boone and $100,000 from EMILY's List, a political committee that supports Democratic women who back abortion rights.  Other big donors during the most recent reporting period included investor Rani Clasquin of Austin, $50,000; League City trial lawyer Ronald Krist, $50,000; and eight contributions of $25,000, including from Cecilia Boone and Suzanne Bartolucci.  In addition, her most recent report shows that Planned Parenthood's political committee spent $20,000 to conduct a poll on Davis' behalf and $9,000 for Web design and staff time.

Former Planned Parenthood worker: "Money-grubbing, evil, very sad, sad place to work".  Marianne Anderson should know. She worked at the Indianapolis franchise of the nation's biggest provider in the abortion industry, until Abby Johnson helped her to leave her job and turn her life around. In an interview for The Criterion, the nurse describes some of the horrors she witnessed at the clinic.

Planned Parenthood Pays $2 Million for Wrongful Death, Press Ignores.  Late last week came the news that Planned Parenthood of Illinois, Northwestern Memorial Hospital, and Northwestern Medical Faculty Foundation have agreed to pay $2 million in a wrongful death settlement to the surviving young son of a woman who died after an abortion at a Chicago Planned Parenthood in 2012.  This is huge news, no?  Were this a settlement to a family whose loved one died because a hospital refused her an abortion, it would be broadcast everywhere.

Priests for Life African American leader blasts Nancy Pelosi for pro-choice stance.  Dr. Alveda King, director of African American Outreach for Priests for Life, based in New Dorp, blasted pro-choice House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, who is slated to receive the Margaret Sanger Award from Planned Parenthood.  Ironically, the first recipient of the award, named after a founder of Planned Parenthood, was none other than Dr. King's uncle, the civil rights leader Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

Skid Roe.  "The abortion rate in the United States dropped to its lowest point since the Supreme Court legalized the procedure in all 50 states, according to a study suggesting that new, long-acting contraceptive methods are having a significant impact in reducing unwanted pregnancies," the Washington Post reports, leaping to conclusions right in the lead paragraph.  The impulse behind that leap is understandable. Journalists are attracted to cause-and-effect explanations because they make storytelling easier, and in this case the causal explanation bolsters the cause of the group doing the study:  the Alan Guttmacher Institute, research arm of Planned Parenthood.

Neighbors Say Planned Parenthood's Billboard Goes Too Far.  A Planned Parenthood billboard has only been up a week in one South Memphis neighborhood, but some people there already want it to come down.  They say the billboard, which includes the message "Getting It On Is Free" and a picture of a condom, is too graphic.

Michelle's abortion-boosting 50th.  Days before Michelle Obama's White House birthday celebrations this year, it was revealed that Planned Parenthood got $540.6 million in government grants in 2013 from her husband's administration.  "Planned Parenthood's net revenue increased 5% to a total of $1.2 billion in its organizational fiscal year ending on June 30, 2013, according to its new Annual Report 2012-2013, and about 45% of that revenue — $540.6 million — was provided by taxpayer-funded government health services grants."  (CNSNews.com, Jan. 14, 2014).

School joins Planned Parenthood to destroy award-winning teacher.  Bill Diss is an experienced, highly qualified and popular computer science teacher.  On November 14, the Portland school district and Planned Parenthood will try to have him declared unfit to teach.  Diss is the only teacher in Oregon to earn the distinction of being credentialed to teach computer science for college credit at the high school level.  Diss is a highly qualified high school educator who has been teaching for more than a decade at a desperate public school that almost closed in 2010 — a school that serves a population which is 75 percent minority.

Planned Parenthood wants preschoolers to know mechanics of sexual intercourse.  Planned Parenthood Federation of America has just announced a new insidious Internet presence referred to as "mobile interactive tools to help teens make healthy decisions."  STOPP's national director, Rita Diller, joined ALL's Jim Sedlak on his Radio Maria "Armed for Battle" broadcast November 1 to warn about what lurks within the many webpages of this new "tool" for indoctrinating both children and parents.  "By 'mobile interactive tools,' Planned Parenthood means it is on its website so that kids can access this stuff from their smart phones or their computers when their parents aren't looking," Diller said.

Planned Parenthood asks high court's help in Texas.  Planned Parenthood asked the Supreme Court Monday [11/4/2013] to place Texas' new abortion restrictions on hold.

Planned Parenthood takes Texas abortion laws to court.  The Texas omnibus abortion law that state Senator Wendy Davis tried to block with a 13-hour filibuster is headed to court.  A trio of women's and civil liberties groups — Planned Parenthood, the Center for Reproductive Rights and the ACLU of Texas — filed a federal lawsuit Friday against some provisions of the law, including restrictions on medication abortion and the regulations openly intended to shut down many of Texas's abortion clinics.  They were joined by more than a dozen Texas women's health providers.

Planned Parenthood Will Have Access to SS#, Tax, Medical Information.  If you thought that it was frightening enough that the federal government was spying on you and had access to your personal information, get ready:  Planned Parenthood is about to obtain access to your Social Security number, tax form, bank account, and medical records.

GAO opens investigation into Planned Parenthood's use of taxpayer money.  The non-partisan Government Accountability Office confirmed Thursday [8/8/2013] it is launching an investigation into how the country's largest abortion provider spent millions of taxpayer dollars.  Planned Parenthood received more than a half billion dollars in federal funding last year.  The GAO's investigation is in response to a request made by more than 50 members of Congress in February who asked for a detailed report on how money is being used by Planned Parenthood and other abortion providers across the country.  Specifically, lawmakers want to know what procedures and services they provided and the number of people who were served and how much it cost.

Planned Parenthood to shut down three Texas clinics.  On the same day Gov. Rick Perry signed into law some of the most stringent abortion restrictions in the country, Planned Parenthood announced it would close three clinics in southeast Texas.  Planned Parenthood Gulf Coast announced the facilities, located in Bryan, Huntsville and Lufkin, will be closing at the end of August.  Each of them provided health and family planning services including cancer screenings and pregnancy, HIV and STD testing.  Only the facility in Bryan performed abortions.

Planned Parenthood Forced to Cancel Texas Bus Tour Stop, Lack of Enthusiasm.  So today's the big day, the culmination of recent pro-life efforts in Texas to ban abortions after 20 weeks and enact stricter abortion industry regulations. [...] While abortion proponents may claim Gov. Rick Perry's call for a special session was a "sneak attack," they knew it was coming — months in advance, and planned the "seemingly spontaneous" crowd.  It also appears the other side had to hire "free agent activists" on social media to stir the lackluster pro-abortion pot.

Planned Parenthood Admits that It Uses Taxpayer Money to Fund Abortions.  The abortion debate in Texas has been clarifying.  On one side we've seen people behave peacefully and respectfully, abide by the laws and the rules and sing hymns like "Amazing Grace."  On the other side, we've seen threats, mob tactics and "Hail Satan!" [...] We've also seen Planned Parenthood lie through its teeth, and a couple of members of the the Texas media just called them out on it.

Cecile Richards Can't Explain Difference Between Gosnell Killings and Elective Late-Term Abortions.  Planned Parenthood president Cecile Richards held a small rally outside the U.S. Capitol Thursday [7/11/2013] joined by Minnesota senator Al Franken, Connecticut congresswoman Rosa DeLauro, and a crowd of 200 Planned Parenthood activists.  Richards warned that new state and federal bills — including measures establishing late-term abortion limits — pose threats to women's rights.

Planned Parenthood promoting Obamacare.  Planned Parenthood is diving into a new area of education, not without its own controversy:  Obamacare.  The group's more than 750 health centers across the country will be promoting the health law and helping women find out about new coverage options for themselves and their families before — and after — enrollment begins Oct. 1.  They're creating everything from refrigerator magnets to online apps that help people enroll in a health plan.  Some affiliates will be applying to become official government-funded "navigators" to give people more hands-on help through the signup process.

Planned Parenthood Tells Undercover Caller 'Probably Won't' Report Statutory Rape.  Pro-life organization Project Defending Life has released a new video exposé featuring an undercover telephone call placed by a young woman to Planned Parenthood of New Mexico in Albuquerque.

Obamacare demands insurers cover Planned Parenthood clinics.  Most of Planned Parenthood's 750 health and abortion clinics around the nation will be covered under Obamacare, imposing a new demand on insurers who want to participate in the health care exchanges that will provide insurance coverage to millions of Americans.  While insurers currently cover doctors and health facilities in their networks, Obamacare demands that they also cover at least 20 percent of "essential community providers" in their coverage area, including Planned Parenthood, AIDS clinics, pain management centers and even alternative medicine providers.

Planned Parenthood Wants Taxpayers to Fund Illegal Immigrants' Abortions.  In a statement published on May 22nd, Planned Parenthood criticized the adoption of a House amendment that would deny taxpayer funding for the abortions of illegal immigrants.

Black Conservative Attacks Abortion, Dems Faint Dead Away.  Journalists and Democrats have designated a new Republican scandal:  Bishop Earl W. Jackson "compared" Planned Parenthood to the Ku Klux Klan.  On May 18, Jackson became the Republican nominee for lieutenant governor of Virginia in this November's 2013 elections.  An important detail in this drama is that Bishop Jackson is African-American.  Much more alarming, Jackson has been leading a hard-hitting campaign to call on Blacks to leave the Democrat Party.

Man Forces Pre-Teen Rape Victim to Abort at Planned Parenthood.  A Washington state man who impregnated a 12 year-old girl forced her to have an abortion at a Planned Parenthood clinic in order to cover up his sexual assault on the girl.

IRS Told Pro-Life Group Not to Picket Planned Parenthood.  The Internal Revenue Service allegedly told an Iowa pro-life group they had to sign documents promising not to protest or picket Planned Parenthood and they told a Texas pro-life organization they had to promote abortion, according to documents obtained by Fox News.  "The IRS was concerned about advocacy," said Sally Wagenmaker, special counsel to the Thomas More Society.  "The (agent) said picketing and protesting is not allowed."  She said the IRS's role "should only be to determine whether organizations fit the section 501(c)(3) test for 'charitable, religious, or educational' qualification, not to inquire about the content of prayers, protests, and petitions."

More about the use of the IRS as a weapon.

Planned Parenthood Targets Black Women.  According to the Centers for Disease Control, blacks accounted for 35.4 percent of abortions performed in 2009, despite representing, according to the 2010 census, just 13.6 percent of the US population.  Let's not be deluded that this is an accident.

Obama Is Ducking the Gosnell Abortion Controversy.  Up in Pennsylvania, abortionist Kermit Gosnell is on trial, accused of having killed a handful of babies who survived his procedures.  And Planned Parenthood is in the thick of it all.

Obama Avoids [the] Word 'Abortion' in [his] Speech Defending Planned Parenthood.  President Obama gave a speech slamming critics for trying to turn Planned Parenthood "into a punching bag" while notably avoiding the word "abortion" in the entire address.  "The fact is, after decades of progress, there's still those who want to turn back the clock to policies more suited to the 1950s than the 21st century.  And they've been involved in an orchestrated and historic effort to roll back basic rights when it comes to women's health," Obama said.

Obama 12-Minute Speech to Planned Parenthood [was] Time for 7.6 Abortions at Planned Parenthood .  President Barack Obama praised the Planned Parenthood Federation of America for saving lives and helping women and families in a 12-minute, 3-second speech on Friday, which was enough time for 7.6 abortions to take place at Planned Parenthood clinics, based upon the abortion data in their latest annual report.

The Editor says...
The three items immediately above were also posted in the subsection about Mr. Obama's speech at Planned Parenthood on 4/26/2013.

Planned Parenthood Kept Silent About Gosnell Butchery.  Who outside of Kermit Gosnell's abortion clinic knew about the massacre of the innocents but didn't say a word to the authorities about it?  Planned Parenthood, that's who.  This week, Planned Parenthood Southeast Pennsylvania president and CEO Dayle Steinberg, speaking at a fundraiser, no less, admitted that she knew what was going on at Gosnell's butcher shop.  She and her organization did not report it to state health officials or anyone else who could have stepped in.

'Pro-Choice' Only Goes so Far.  [Scroll down]  Planned Parenthood, too, is yet another progressive outlet that waxes on about the virtues of "choice," but their commitment to choice magically disappears when it's convenient to do so.  After the Department of Health and Human Services decided to force employers to provide birth control to their employees regardless of religious objections, Planned Parenthood cheered:  "This policy makes it clear that your boss does not get to decide whether you can have birth control."  So a religious employer's beliefs and decisions, it seems, are second-rate when it comes to things Planned Parenthood likes.

Delaware Planned Parenthood halts abortions while under investigation.  Abortions have been suspended at a Delaware Planned Parenthood, after several 911 calls made from within the clinic prompted a new investigation by Health and Human Services.  Jayne Mitchell-Werbrich and Joyce Vasikonis, who both quit their jobs as nurses at the facility, spoke to Action News about the unsafe and unsanitary conditions they experienced while working in the facility.

Planned Parenthood: This Gosnell case is "appalling".  Proof positive that we've reached a new phase of Gosnell damage control.  Plan A:  Ignore, ignore, ignore.  Plan B:  If Plan A becomes impossible, use Gosnell as some sort of exception that proves the rule about why, counterintuitively, America needs easier access to abortion.

Delaware abortion clinic facing charges of unsafe and unsanitary conditions.  A local abortion clinic is under fire, facing allegations of unsafe and unsanitary conditions.  A series of emergency calls made from the Planned Parenthood of Delaware this year are raising concerns about what's happening behind the closed doors.

Another abortion clinic horror story: Planned Parenthood of Delaware.  It doesn't emit the stench of delirious, inhuman evil that surrounds abortionist Kermit Gosnell and his henchpersons, but conditions were quite fearsome at Planned Parenthood of Delaware, where filthy conditions put patients at risk of contracting hepatitis, or even AIDs, according to former nurses who talked with Philadelphia ABC News affiliate WPVI.

Planned Parenthood's defense of infanticide.  When Rep. Todd Akin made his outrageous comments about "legitimate rape" it was front page news — and rightly so.  But when a representative of Planned Parenthood is caught on camera defending infanticide, it merits barely a mention in the mainstream media.

Johns Hopkins's and Planned Parenthood's troubling extremism.  Recently in Florida, Alisa LaPolt Snow, representing Florida Planned Parenthood organizations, testified against a bill that would require abortionists to provide medical care to babies who survive attempted abortions.  Snow was asked:  "If a baby is born on a table as a result of a botched abortion, what would Planned Parenthood want to have happen to that child that is struggling for life?"  Snow replied:  "We believe that any decision that's made should be left up to the woman, her family and the physician."

Planned Parenthood Rep Gives Chilling Testimony on "Post-Birth" Abortion.  Some legislators were shocked at what appeared to be an admission that Planned Parenthood is okay with allowing babies born alive during an abortion to be deprived of life-saving medical care.  Fox News reported that one of the lawmakers tried to pin Snow down on the abortion giant's position regarding a baby born alive while an abortionist was attempting to end his or her life.  "We believe that any decision that's made should be left up to the woman, her family, and the physician," Snow reiterated from her talking points — making it appear that Planned Parenthood's position is that an abortionist hasn't completed his mission until a baby dies, inside or outside the womb.

HHS Gives Planned Parenthood Orlando $2.4 Million to Fund Sex Ed for Teens.  Health and Human Services' Office of Adolescence Health is giving Planned Parenthood of Greater Orlando $2,388,950 in grant funding for its "Teens Rise!" project.

Lawmakers ask if taxes fund abortion; Planned Parenthood targeted in inquiry.  A group of 72 lawmakers have revived an effort to ask the government's watchdog agency to scrutinize taxpayer dollars going to Planned Parenthood and five other organizations who provide family-planning services.

Sandra Fluke joins Planned Parenthood to push Obamacare birth control.  Sandra Fluke, President Obama's Democratic National Convention spokeswoman for Obamacare-supplied birth control, has joined with Planned Parenthood to urge Americans to speak out in support of no co-pay birth control.

Did someone mention Sandra Fluke?

Rick Perry's best endorsement yet:
Gloria Steinem calls Texas Gov. Rick Perry 'dictatorial, unacceptable American'.  When the state's longest-serving governor and former GOP presidential candidate signed off on plans to shrink funding for family planning — and revamped the women's healthcare program, excluding Planned Parenthood from participating — his place in history became clear, she said.  "He personally will go down in history as an authoritarian — a dictatorial, unacceptable American," Steinem, 78, told the Star-Telegram on Friday [2/1/2013] before speaking to a crowd of more than 800 during the annual Planned Parenthood luncheon at the Omni Fort Worth Hotel downtown.

Aborting 'Pro-Choice,' Promoting 'Nuance'.  As the United States — with over a million abortions a year, one of the highest abortion rates among Western industrialized nations — prepares to recognize the 40th anniversary of the Roe v. Wade decision, abortion activists are quietly launching a new public relations strategy.  Planned Parenthood, after admitting to selected reporters that the "pro-choice" label has lost its appeal, is moving to more "nuanced" language that conveys the "complicated" nature of abortion.  The need for an abortion, claims Planned Parenthood, is "situational" and "depends on an individual's circumstances."

Planned Parenthood cranks up abortion mills.  In 2011, government subsidies to Planned Parenthood reached an all-time high, with the abortion provider receiving a whopping $542 million in taxpayer funding — all while ending a record number of lives — 333,964.  This brings Planned Parenthood's death toll to nearly 1 million during the last three years.  This means that nearly 1 million women have also been wounded by the pain of abortion, calling into question Planned Parenthood's level of concern for the health and well-being of vulnerable women and girls.

Congresswoman Reintroduces Bill To Ban Federal Funds From Abortion Providers, Including Planned Parenthood.  Rep. Diane Black (R-Tenn.) marked the 40th anniversary of Roe v. Wade, the Supreme Court ruling that legalized abortion nationwide, by announcing at a press conference her reintroduction of legislation to ban all abortion providers from receiving any federal funds, including Planned Parenthood.  "Over the last 40 years, more than 55 million babies have been aborted," Black said on Tuesday [1/22/2013] on Capitol Hill at the conference focused on Roe v. Wade.

Judge blocks Planned Parenthood from Texas program.  A Texas judge refused to allow Planned Parenthood to temporarily rejoin a health program for low-income women on Friday [1/11/2013], saying the organization would unlikely win its court fight to get around a new law that disqualifies health clinics with any affiliation to abortion providers.

Planned Parenthood received $542.4 million in government grants and reimbursements from 2011 to 2012.  Planned Parenthood's most recent annual report for 2011-2012, released Monday [1/7/2013], reveals that the abortion and women's health provider received $542.4 million from taxpayers in government grants and reimbursements — constituting 45 percent of the organization's revenue.  Abortions constituted 3 percent of the services Planned Parenthood provided from October 2010 to September 2011.

Planned Parenthood reports record year for abortions.  In its latest annual report for fiscal year 2011 to 2012, Planned Parenthood reveals that it performed 333,964 abortions in 2011 — a record year for the organization.  According to annual reports, the organization performed 332,278 abortions in 2009, 329,445 in 2010, making the total number of abortions in three years to 995,687.

Rep. Marsha Blackburn offers bill to defund Planned Parenthood.  "As a woman, I believe America deserves better than abortion," Blackburn said in a statement on her bill.  "America shouldn't celebrate abortion and our taxpayers shouldn't subsidize abortion businesses like Planned Parenthood, who profit from the destruction of human life with taxpayer money.  It's fiscally irresponsible and morally indefensible."

Judge allows ban on funds to Planned Parenthood.  A Texas judge has ruled that the state may cut off funding to Planned Parenthood's family planning programs for poor women.

Texas health program can exclude Planned Parenthood: judge.  Texas won a court victory on Monday in its effort to stop state funds under a health program for low-income women from going to clinics affiliated with Planned Parenthood, a group that provides abortions at some of its facilities.

Texas Judge Rules State Can De-Fund Planned Parenthood.  A Texas state judge has delivered a ruling in response to the second legal challenge Planned Parenthood has brought against the state for removing the abortion business from its taxpayer-funded women's health program.  The judge refused today [12/31/2012] to grant a temporary restraining order allowing Planned Parenthood to rejoin the Texas Women's Health Program in time for the January launch of it.

Planned Parenthood think tank inflates abortion numbers.  How many abortions, legal and illegal, are performed annually, nationally and worldwide?  The answer depends upon whom you ask and whether the data come from the United States or from developing nations.  More important, it depends on the assumptions, methodology and honesty of those compiling the numbers.  Recent research calls into question data that heretofore had been considered authoritative.

Planned Parenthood Did One Abortion Every 95 Seconds — As Many in One Year as Live In Cincinnati.  Planned Parenthood performed 332,278 abortions in the United States in 2009, according to a fact sheet the group published last month.  That is about as many as the 333,012 people who lived in the city of Cincinnati, Ohio, in 2009, according to the U.S. Census Bureau.  The 332,278 abortions Planned Parenthood performed over the 365 days of 2009 equals an average of 910 lives terminated per day — or about 38 per hour, or one every 95 seconds.

Rep. Schwartz: 'Respect for Life' Means 'Different Things to Different People'.  Planned Parenthood is the largest abortion-provider in the nation.  According to its own fact sheets, Planned Parenthood performed 985,731 abortions between 2008 and 2010 — 329,445 in 2010 alone.  Planned Parenthood also receives taxpayer money every year and got $487.4 million in 2009-2010.  A Congressional Research Service report published on Aug. 28 said that the federal government gives Planned Parenthood about $66 million per year in Title X "family planning" grants.  The law prohibits recipients from using Title X money for abortion except in cases of rape, incest or to save the life of the mother.  However, Planned Parenthood and other organizations that receive federal subsidies under Title X can take the federal money and do abortions at the same time as long use other dollars — not the dollars they got from the federal government — to pay for an actual abortion.

Intl Planned Parenthood Marks 60 Years, Pushes Abortion in Africa.  At the end of this week, International Planned Parenthood Federation is celebrating its 60th anniversary in South Africa, where the abortion giant and billionaire Melinda Gates have their sights set on targeting women and girls with injectable contraceptives that double the rate of contracting HIV.  In April, Gates launched her 10-year plan to lend her voice (and millions of dollars) to ostensibly eliminate the controversy that surrounds contraception.

Planned Parenthood Gets Obamacare Funds to Push Sex on 9th Graders.  Planned Parenthood of Southeastern Virginia has received government funding that enables it to expand its systematic sexualization and degradation of 9th graders in the Newport News public schools with "risk reduction" sex education.  The money comes from the $75 million pool set aside as a part of Obamacare to teach the Personal Responsibility Education Program (PREP).  The PREP money is setting students up for disaster as it enables Planned Parenthood and other organizations access to the most vulnerable youth across the nation.

Planned Parenthood takes credit for Obama reelection.  Planned Parenthood, whose federal funding was threatened by GOP presidential candidate Mitt Romney, is taking credit for President Obama's reelection by keeping independent women scared long enough about Romney's agenda for Obama to win them over.

Women voted for birth control.  Planned Parenthood is patting itself on the back over President Obama's victory earlier this month.  According to Dawn Laguens, the abortion provider's executive vice president, women were scared away from Mitt Romney with the threat that he would take away their birth control.  Other, seemingly more important issues, such as the fragile state of the economy, record joblessness among women and the foreign-policy debacle in Benghazi, Libya, took a back seat for the 56 percent of female voters who opted for Mr. Obama, intent on securing their "reproductive rights" against a purported Republican onslaught.

Planned Parenthood Head Urges GOP to Dump Pro-Life Base.  Planned Parenthood president Cecile Richards has advice for Republicans after their big defeat on Election Day — to abandon their pro-life base.  Following an election campaign in which the taxpayer-funded organization spent $15 million tearing down Republican candidates who vowed to cut off its federal funding, Richards now says she is reaching out to pro-choice Republicans.

The Racist Roots of Planned Parenthood and its Legacy of Death.  Back in 2011, we started Camp Constitution Press and reprinted a chapter of a book titled "From Farm Boy to Financier" by Frank Vanderlip. [...] It isn't a massive tome, only 98 pages, and it consists mainly of transcribed letters between Margaret Sanger and Dr. Clarence Gamble with pictures of the originals.  It also contains a little-known speech by Martin Luther King titled "Family Planning:  A Special and Urgent Concern," which was read by his wife Coretta in 1966 at Planned Parenthood's First Annual Margaret Sanger Award Ceremony.  King was the first recipient of the award.  The Corporate media will not make any mention of how King and many other black leaders collaborated with avowed racist Sanger to promote birth control and later abortion in the black community.

Climate Eugenics.  No, I'm not talking about climate change.  I'm talking about eugenics, the early 20th-century belief that there were too many of the wrong people in the world.  One hundred years on, though, eugenics has fused with climate change for the perfect anti-human storm.  The founder of Planned Parenthood, Margaret Sanger, a progressive, was one of the most strident supporters of this new theory.  Financial support poured in from the Ford Foundation, the Rockefeller Foundation, and the Harriman fortune. (These funds all still support progressive causes.)  In 1916, Sanger established the first "birth control" clinic.  Back in that era, it was commonly believed that "the best" human beings (white, Anglo-Saxon Protestants) were not having as many children as "inferior ones," such the immigrants from Eastern Europe and Asia, blacks, degenerates, etc.  Sanger spoke of the burden of carrying the "dead weight of human waste."  President Theodore Roosevelt, the first progressive presidential candidate, declared that "Society has no business to permit degenerates to reproduce their kind."

Calls for 'health care reparations' omit the obvious.  When we reflect back on notorious eugenicists of the 20th Century, we might think of men like Lothrop Stoddard who penned The Rising Tide of Color Against White World-Supremacy, or maybe his co-founder at the American Birth Control League, Margaret Sanger.  Interesting fact:  In 1933 Sanger's magazine published a "shocking article" titled, "Eugenic Sterilization: An Urgent Need".  The article was authored by Sanger's dear friend, Ernst Rudin — at the time Rudin had been handpicked by Adolf Hitler as the Third Reich's Director of Genetic Sterilization, and "had earlier taken a role in the establishment in the Nazi Society for Racial Hygiene." [...] Sanger's legacy of eugenics lives on — in 1942, the American Birth Control League became the Planned Parenthood Federation of America.  As we know, Planned Parenthood commits the majority of murders (abortions) nationwide — an act that the business touts as "health care" — which disproportionately affects the Black community.

'Blaxploitation' continues to rear its ugly, demonic head.  'Blaxploitation' is a term commonly used to confirm instances of the exploitation of black people. [...] Planned Parenthood founder Margaret Sanger was an excellent example of someone who was "masterful" at Blaxploitation.  As founder of the leading abortion outfit in the U.S., Sanger was indeed a racist eugenicist who hated blacks but cloaked her disdain through Blaxploitation.  Sanger initiated a project she deemed "The Negro Project" to promote the "extermination" of black life (through abortions and sterilizations).  This scheme exploited black clergy by paying them $100 for sermons extolling the "virtues" of abortion as they preached over the pulpit. [...] Regrettably, her demonic scheme worked.  Clergy preached to extol Sanger's demonic schemes and received their $100.  Because of the clergy's grotesque dereliction, blacks have been aborted at grossly disproportionate rates (compared to all other ethnicities) and continue to be manipulated and deceived.  Black clergy holding to Sanger's insidious scheme are principally to blame, and her demonic dreams of exterminating blacks continue unabated.

One Hundred Years Ago, 'Following the Science' Meant Supporting Eugenics.  In the 1920s, when he was still an agnostic, C. S. Lewis noted in his diary his latest reading:  "Began G. K. Chesterton's Eugenics and Other Evils."  A controversial English Catholic writer, Chesterton published his book in 1922, when the popularity of eugenics was at flood tide.  Respectable opinion on both sides of the Atlantic embraced the concept:  a scientific approach to selective breeding to reduce, and eventually eliminate, the category of people considered mentally and morally deficient.  From U.S. Supreme Court Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes to Planned Parenthood founder Margaret Sanger, eugenics policies — including involuntary sterilization — were hailed as a "progressive" and "compassionate" solution to mounting social problems.  A hundred years ago, Chesterton discerned something altogether different: "terrorism by tenth-rate professors." For a time, he stood nearly alone in his prophetic assault on the eugenics movement and the pseudo-scientific theory by which it was defended.

Why I pray that Michelle Obama runs in 2024.  [Scroll down]  But there's another issue besides the economy that the left can no more dissociate itself from than you can change the dietary elements of a predator, and that is abortion.  This is the Holy Grail for leftists.  It is writ very, very large on their battle flag.  They cannot — and will not — walk away from it!! And we finally need to hang them from this hideous tree they have grown, fed from the lives of countless unborn innocents.  We'll be helped because Michelle and the entire Dem left will seek to run Roe v Wade up her battle standard.  It's a given.  It is truly in their DNA.  Once they do, we need to shout from the rooftops two highly inconvenient truths.  The first is that the roots of the left's pro-abortion credo are in very large measure traceable directly to one of the most embarrassing and disgusting movements to germinate from American soil — eugenics.  You cannot separate leftism, Democrats, eugenics, and Margaret Sanger, Planned Parenthood's founder.  That unspeakable movement to improve the gene pool through selective infant death is right smack at the very foundation of what they screech about so loudly in Roe v. Wade's demise.  You literally cannot untangle eugenics, Sanger, Planned Parenthood — and of course, Michelle.  All of them are Democrat ideas, institutions, or people.

If They're Removing "Racist" Statues, They Should Tear Down Margaret Sanger's.  Margaret Sanger believed some people were "human weeds," "reckless breeders" and "morons" who never should have been born.  With those anti-human attitudes, she founded Planned Parenthood, the nation's largest abortion chain, which reaps in billion-dollar revenues while aborting 345,000 unborn babies each year.  It does not hide the fact that it targets poor and minority women for abortions, too.  But, while rioters are defacing and destroying statues of U.S. leaders in the name of ending racism, Sanger's statue still has a place of honor in The Smithsonian National Portrait Gallery in Washington, D.C.

Congressman Burgess Owens:  "Planned Parenthood Is The Greatest Threat To Black Lives In America".  The headline in a recent weekend edition of The New York Times was stark, "I'm the Head of Planned Parenthood:  We're Done Making Excuses for Our Founder."  The author of the piece, Alexis McGill Johnson, went on to proclaim that her organization, the prime progenitor of abortion in the United States and perhaps worldwide, would have to "reckon" with their founder, Margaret Sanger, and her association with "white supremacist groups and eugenics."  The acknowledgement of Sanger's notorious views on Planned Parenthood's use of birth control to eliminate those she regarded as nothing but "human weeds" — by such methods as forced sterilization, birth permits and segregated camps for the unfit — is important.  But Johnson's confession is short on specifics, and to say it is overdue is like acknowledging the Hindenburg had a fire on board.  Margaret Sanger's Planned Parenthood has spent more than a century building a citadel of prejudice with profound, even irreversible, effects on African Americans and the poor.  It is too bad that we know no more about Sanger's 1926 address to a women's auxiliary of the Ku Klux Klan in New Jersey than her self-report, in her autobiography, that the audience reaction was enthusiastic and led to "a dozen invitations to speak to similar groups."

Does Planned Parenthood Want Justice?  Planned Parenthood leadership is trying to rebrand their organization because they know they can no longer hide what their eugenicist founder, Margaret Sanger, stood for.  The trouble for Planned Parenthood is that the abortion behemoth hasn't adjusted course or reckoned with Sanger's legacy, because it carries on her dream today.  And, as the nation's largest abortion enterprise, Planned Parenthood today eliminates far more of the so-called "unfit" than Sanger could have ever imagined possible.  Margaret Sanger's legacy cannot be hidden or covered up by mere words of apologies, or simply by acknowledging her racist roots.  But this is how Planned Parenthood's president, Alexis McGill Johnson, seems to think she will deal with the eugenic legacy of her organization's founder — and that's what she tried to do in a recent New York Times op-ed that missed the mark.

Racist Planned Parenthood Founder Margaret Sanger Wanted to Kill Black People, Nothing Has Changed.  It's been a long, long three or four years for Planned Parenthood.  We've posted story after story about the intra-mural battles within Planned Parenthood which (to put it in the mildest possible terms) do not put the nation's leading "provider" of abortion in the best possible light even among its supporters.  That along with a reluctant confrontation with their founder Margaret Sanger's embrace of eugenics has been a rough patch of water.  After all, they insisted for decade after decade Sanger was just a "product of her time" when the elites were gung-ho to "improve the human race through selective breeding," as a 2019 New York Times article described it.

Planned Parenthood Pres:  We'll Atone for Founder's Racism by Hating White People.  It wasn't hard for Planned Parenthood to shed Margaret Sanger.  What did the faded black and white photos of the baby parts organization's founder have to do with it today?  If the Democrats can casually jettison Jefferson and Jackson, Planned Parenthood dumping Sanger was even easier.  And, as Alexis McGill Johnson, the abortion group's current president writes in a New York Times op-ed, "I'm the Head of Planned Parenthood.  We're Done Making Excuses for Our Founder."  The PP boss belatedly concedes that Sanger was a racist who hung out with the Klan, but inevitably reframes it all through the lens of critical race theory.  "Our reckoning is understanding her full legacy, and its impact," Johnson writes.

The Higher Superstition:  The fallacy that lies behind "follow the science" fundamentalism.  One of the most consequential was the eugenics movement and "scientific" racism.  This was the very unscientific idea that Darwinian natural selection, the improvement of species' ability to survive by means of random mutations, could be controlled by humans in order to protect against, as Theodore Roosevelt liked to say, "race suicide," the degradation of the higher "races" by interbreeding with the lower.  And by "races" eugenicists meant not just Caucasian or Black or Asian, but ethnic groups and nationalities like Italians, Hungarians, Bohemians, Russians, Armenians, Slavs, Turks, and Arabs, along with any other group that was not as economically, educationally, or scientifically advanced as the Anglo-Saxon, Nordic, Teutonic, or Normans who were considered the ancestors of the American Übermenschen.  They also included in the lower races "white trash" and others who through feckless breeding replicated cognitive deficits, alcoholism, shiftless habits, or criminal tendencies.  These eugenic ideas were institutionalized in our most prestigious universities, and accepted by the cognitive elite as "settled science," scientific truths that only the uneducated, stupid, or religious dogmatists would reject.

Planned Parenthood Quietly Aborts Annual 'Margaret Sanger Award'.  Abortion provider Planned Parenthood has quietly killed off its annual Margaret Sanger award, reports the National Catholic Registry.  Sanger, the founder of the Planned Parenthood abortion mill, is not "problematic" because she once told an off-color joke or flew a Confederate flag.  The woman was a monster, a vile racist and eugenicist who praised the Nazi's sterilization tactics, including those suffering from "gongenital feeble-mindedness; schizophrenia, circular insanity; heredity epilepsy; hereditary chorea (Huntington's); hereditary blindness or deafness; grave hereditary bodily deformity; and chronic alcoholism."

Even as they cancel each other, progressives continue to downplay their movement's racist past.  Progressive "cancel culture" recently claimed two of its own.  Former President Woodrow Wilson, one of the early leaders of the progressive movement, is having his name purged from Princeton University, an institution he once led.  Margaret Sanger, the founder of Planned Parenthood, also had her name removed from a New York abortion facility.  The reason in both cases was the racism of the long-dead figure in question. [...] In the world of Black Lives Matter, Wilson and Sanger were thrown under the bus so that progressives could preserve their anti-racist bonafides.  But these same progressives continue to conceal their movement's dark history of racism, which went far beyond words to include eugenics research that characterized blacks as "unfit" and proposed, through forced sterilization and other means, to produce a nation of "thoroughbreds" through the "breeding out" the unfit.  Those who have noted the disproportionately high rates of abortions among black people — they accounted for 38% of them in 2016, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention — might want to think again when they're asked to embrace Planned Parenthood.

PolitiFact Silent After Planned Parenthood Repudiates Margaret Sanger's Racism.  PolitiFact is not saying whether its "fact-check" claiming Planned Parenthood founder Margaret Sanger was not racist still holds up in light of the organization's largest affiliate admitting Sanger had racist views.  The fact-check, published on Oct. 5, 2015, addressed a claim made by then-presidential candidate Ben Carson.  Carson, now the HUD secretary, said, "Margaret Sanger was a eugenicist.  She believed that people like me [black Americans] should be eliminated, or kept under control."  PolitiFact called Carson's claim "false."  "While Sanger indeed supported the eugenics movement, substantial evidence shows that she was not racist and in fact worked closely with black leaders and health care professionals," PolitiFact said.  It said that Carson's claim "bears no relation to historical reality."  But Sanger's problematic relationship to the eugenics movement is back in the spotlight after Planned Parenthood of Greater New York (PPGNY) renounced her this week, removing her name from a Manhattan clinic.  PPGNY's move was supported by the national organization.

If we are going to cancel art honoring racists, it's time to get Margaret Sanger's bust out of the National Portrait Gallery.  Idaho congressman Russ Fulcher is targeting a racist with more African-American blood on her hands than the entire Confederate Army:  Margaret Sanger.  She expressed a desire to limit African-American births in order to "improve" the American population and founded Planned Parenthood to accomplish that goal: [...] Despite this despicable racism (Sanger once addressed a KKK rally, too), a bust of her resides in the National Portrait Gallery, a part of the taxpayer-funded Smithsonian Institution.

Lincoln Statues Must Go.  Margaret Sanger Stays?  The left is interested in taking down all kinds of statues, which raises an obvious question:  What about the statues the left has put up?  No one's ripping those down. [...] Exhibit A: "This statue of the pioneering and fearless birth control advocate Margaret Sanger, with a gag over her mouth, stands in Old South Meeting House in Boston.  There are no schools named for the controversial socialist and feminist."  Honk if you find it bizarre to describe Sanger, a racist and eugenicist, as your avatar of "humane and inclusive" policies.  Her creation, Planned Parenthood, is a leading destroyer of black lives before they start.  But when black men and women cooperate in abortions, you can't possibly be allowed to tell them those extinguished lives matter.  They were ... inconvenient.

How Planned Parenthood Duped America.  At a March 1925 international birth control gathering in New York City, a speaker warned of the menace posed by the "black" and "yellow" peril.  The man was not a Nazi or Klansman; he was Dr. S. Adolphus Knopf, a member of Margaret Sanger's American Birth Control League (ABCL), which along with other groups eventually became known as Planned Parenthood.  Sanger's other colleagues included avowed and sophisticated racists.  One, Lothrop Stoddard, was a Harvard graduate and the author of The Rising Tide of Color against White Supremacy.  Stoddard was something of a Nazi enthusiast who described the eugenic practices of the Third Reich as "scientific" and "humanitarian."  And Dr. Harry Laughlin, another Sanger associate and board member for her group, spoke of purifying America's human "breeding stock" and purging America's "bad strains."  These "strains" included the "shiftless, ignorant, and worthless class of antisocial whites of the South."  Not to be outdone by her followers, Margaret Sanger spoke of sterilizing those she designated as "unfit," a plan she said would be the "salvation of American civilization.: And she also spike of those who were "irresponsible and reckless," among whom she included those " whose religious scruples prevent their exercising control over their numbers."  She further contended that "there is no doubt in the minds of all thinking people that the procreation of this group should be stopped."  That many Americans of African origin constituted a segment of Sanger considered "unfit" cannot be easily refuted.

Hugh Culverhouse, Planned Parenthood, and Eugenics.  Though the modern iteration of the organization promotes itself as central to women's "healthcare," Planned Parenthood was founded with one particular goal in mind:  eugenics.  The eugenics movement aims to "improve" the human population by "controlled breeding," to increase the occurrence of desirable characteristics.  The Nazis were fans of eugenics.  So, too, was Margaret Sanger, the founder of Planned Parenthood.  Sanger started the group in the early 1920s to promote birth control, as the birth control movement was developing alongside the eugenics movement.  By the 1920s, support from academics and intellectual elites had brought eugenics to the forefront of the public mind.  For these elites, eugenics was a tool to promote the reproduction of those considered mentally, physically, and racially "superior," and to prevent the reproduction of the "inferior."  Birth control and abortion — excellent tools for genetic manipulation — were intimately tied to the eugenics movement from the beginning.  In fact, Sanger, advocated for contraception and sterilization as eugenic tools.

Intersectionality Is A Lie If Pro-Choicers Are Okay With The Black Baby Death Toll.  It is the left, in fact, that worships an organization that was birthed out of the racist ideas of its founder, Margaret Sanger.  She was a staunch proponent of the contemptible, progressive, eugenics movement — the discredited philosophical concept that "undesirable" people should be eliminated from the gene pool of the human race.  "Undesirables" like the poor, illiterate, disabled, and the dark-skinned.  Unfortunately, Sanger's degenerate beliefs led her to work very closely and intentionally with the black community, "assuring" them that her goal was not to "exterminate the Negro population."  America's intricate strategy to dovetail racist policies and eugenics was so effective that it was studied by one Adolf Hitler, and the horrors of the eugenics movement were fully realized in the unspeakable atrocities of the Holocaust.  Fast-forward to today, and Sanger's early organization, the American Birth Control League, has become today's Planned Parenthood, and the intentional targeting of America's minorities continues.

Why Must Black Conservative Republicans Explain Themselves?  [Scroll down]  It was the policies of one President Johnson that has led to the decimation of the traditional, nuclear, two-parent black family in America.  At the time of my birth in 1961, the two-parent household in the black community was a majority.  Since Johnson believed that the government should issue checks to women for out of wedlock births — but they cannot have a man in the home — the two-parent household is about one third in the black community.  There is a political party in America that vehemently supports an organization founded by a white supremacist, racist, who spoke at KKK rallies.  Her name is Margaret Sanger, and her organization is Planned Parenthood.  And since Roe v Wade, according to a report by the Center for Urban Renewal and Education from 2015, more than 19 million black babies have been murdered in the womb.  After all, Sanger referred to blacks as "weeds" and "undesirables."  This is a clear and present danger, a genocide before our own eyes, yet this same political party is championing slave reparations.

Kate Smith?  What About Margaret Sanger?  [Scroll down]  Kate Smith's songs cannot begin to compare to the sheer offensiveness of what Margaret Sanger did racially.  Sanger preached a gospel of "race improvement" and denounced what she called "human weeds" and "morons" and "idiots" and "imbeciles" and the "dead weight of human waste."  She took that message to some outrageous audiences.  In May 1926, Sanger spoke to the women's chapter of the KKK in Silver Lake, New Jersey, which she wrote about on pages 366-367 of her 1938 autobiography.  Yes, the Ku Klux Klan.  The founder of Planned Parenthood accepted an invitation to and spoke to the KKK.  She was a smash-hit.  Do liberals complain about this today?  No.  Liberals revere Sanger.

The Rolling Genocide of America's Blacks.  The ghost of Margaret Sanger casts a century-long shadow.  Because of her enormous influence in promoting and implementing her humanist, anti-religious, pro-birth control, and eugenic philosophy throughout the United States and around the world, one biographer called her the "Father of Modern Society."  From the beginning of Sanger's birth control crusade, she specifically targeted immigrants and ethnic and religious minorities, especially blacks, Hispanics, and what she once described as "the Catholic race."  Sanger referred to these inferior races as "human weeds" and a "menace to civilization" to be segregated and sterilized.

Moving the Goalposts:  Northam Scandal Rocks Late-Term Abortion Debate.  The late-term abortion debate that was touched off with new legislation from New York and proposed legislation in Virginia took a curve ball Friday [2/1/2019] when Virginia Governor Ralph Northam's controversial past was revealed. [...] Northam's history of racism fits perfectly into what has long been understood by those who are pro-life:  abortion is rooted in racism.  Planned Parenthood founder Margaret Sanger famously spoke to a women's chapter of the KKK in 1926 and they liked her talk on abortion so well that more than a dozen invites to similar groups were quickly proffered, according to her own autobiography.

Planned Parenthood's Terrorist Luminary.  Kitty Marion was a radical.  And like many violent radicals was fueled by a personal rage that she transformed into political anger with acts of vandalism and political terror.  Faced with deportation to Germany during WW1, she chose America where she became a crucial figure in Margaret Sanger's birth control and eugenics movement.  But her attitude alienated both her British and American allies.  British feminists paid to ship her to America.  Margaret Sanger wanted her to go back to the UK.  It was a sad ending for a woman whom some have described as one of the founding figures of the embryonic organization that would one day evolve into Planned Parenthood.

The Advantages of Liberal Insurance.  The humane General James Longstreet and the racist General Nathan Bedford Forrest are equally culpable because they fought for the Confederacy.  It doesn't matter that Teddy Roosevelt was an environmentalist and trust-buster when few others were — because his views of imperialism were uncouth by our standards.  In contrast, the racist eugenicist Margaret Sanger is spared progressive hell, because her pro-abortion advocacy helped found what became Planned Parenthood.  The scary thing about contemporary progressivism is this reduction of individuals to cardboard cutouts, whose sins and saintly works fade before cosmic concepts of race and gender.

Margaret Sanger, racist eugenicist extraordinaire.  Recent articles have reported on an unearthed video from 1947 of Margaret Sanger demanding "no more babies" for 10 years in developing countries.  A couple of years ago, Margaret Sanger was named one of Time magazine's "20 Most Influential Americans of All Time."  Given her enduring influence, it's worth considering what the woman who founded Planned Parenthood contributed to the eugenics movement.  Sanger shaped the eugenics movement in America and beyond in the 1930s and 1940s.  Her views and those of her peers in the movement contributed to compulsory sterilization laws in 30 U.S. states that resulted in more than 60,000 sterilizations of vulnerable people, including people she considered "feeble-minded," "idiots" and "morons."

The Endless Hazing of Trump by Sanctimonious Frauds.  Has America ever had to endure a more insufferable collection of frauds?  When not sating themselves at Margaret Sanger award galas and Black Lives Matters powwows, they can be heard lecturing Americans on "racial healing" and a culture without violence.  It would be a little easier to hear these disquisitions on nonviolence from brow-furrowing anchorettes and celebrity bloggers if many of them weren't always obsessing over "reproductive rights."  When will these abortion supporters be tweeting out their disgust for the racist eugenics of Margaret Sanger and calling on all journalists to boycott Planned Parenthood until her statue is torn down?

Planned Parenthood's Century of Brutality.  [Margaret] Sanger herself was generally careful to forswear compulsion in her eugenics program, but in reality the period was characterized by the widespread use of involuntary sterilization.  Mandatory-sterilization bills were introduced unsuccessfully in Michigan and Pennsylvania at the end of the 19th century, but in 1907 Indiana became the first of many states to create eugenics-oriented sterilization programs, targeting such "unfit" populations as criminals and the mentally ill, along with African Americans (60 percent of the black mothers at one Mississippi hospital were involuntarily sterilized) and other minority groups.  The Oregon state eugenics board was renamed but was not disbanded until the 1980s.  About 65,000 people in the United States were involuntarily sterilized.

Planned Parenthood Continues Pushing Margaret Sanger's Population Control Agenda, Here's How.  Margaret Sanger brought to Planned Parenthood three basic philosophies that still drive the organization today.  Her first philosophy was uninhibited sexual activity.  Margaret believed that everyone should be free to engage in sexual activity with whomever they want, whenever they want.  It made no difference if the individuals were married or even if they were married to someone else.  Sex was to be enjoyed always, she taught.  As a young adult, Sanger would attend discussion sessions at the home of Mabel Dodge in New York City.  Dodge explained that each week a different member of the group would lead the discussion.  She said that, whenever it was Sanger's turn to lead, the discussions were always about sex.  As Ellen Chessler noted in her book about Sanger, Woman of Valor, Dodge said that Margaret was "the first person I ever knew who was openly an ardent propagandist for the joys of the flesh."

10-Eye-Opening Quotes From Planned Parenthood Founder Margaret Sanger.  Margaret Sanger has been lauded by some as a woman of valor, but a closer look reveals that Planned Parenthood's audacious founder had some unsavory things to say about matters of race, birth control, and abortion.  An outspoken eugenicist herself, Sanger consistently promoted racist ideals with a contemptuous attitude. [...] [D]espite her extraordinarily prolific writing career, one rarely sees her quoted by Planned Parenthood leaders and apologists.

A National Portrait of Margaret Sanger.  Fifteen years ago I came across in an archive "A Plan for World Peace" issued by a prominent American just months before Adolf Hitler came to power in Germany.  The plan advocated "a stern and rigid policy of sterilization and segregation to that grade of population whose progeny is already tainted, or whose inheritance is such that objectionable traits may be transmitted to offspring."  For the tens of millions of Americans whose genes the author judged objectionable but who themselves judged sterilization objectionable, the plan offered "farm lands and homestead for these segregated persons where they would be taught to work under competent instructors for the period of their entire lives."

Race and Margaret Sanger.  Anytime I write about Margaret Sanger's May 1926 speech to the women's chapter of the KKK in Silverlake, New Jersey — as I did again recently — liberals get very upset.  They accuse me of distortion, disinformation, dishonesty.  Really, my crime is raising the subject at all.  Many liberals cannot — they cannot — find it within themselves to condemn this sordid moment.

Busting Margaret Sanger.  Why is America's national museum, the Smithsonian Institution, honoring an outspoken eugenicist who advocated the forced sterilization of millions of Americans?  A racist who used abortion and birth control specifically to target the black population? [...] Sanger's bust is placed, ironically, between the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. and Rosa Parks, two legitimate heroes of black Americans, a group Sanger sought, according to one of her own letters, to "exterminate."  Lionized by the left for her radical feminist rhetoric and her contribution to "women's rights" — birth control and abortion — Sanger is known nowadays for being the founder of abortion provider Planned Parenthood.  But back in the 1920s, Sanger was one of the most influential eugenicists in the United States.  The eugenics movement, now rightfully condemned, sought to improve the human race by preventing people deemed inferior from having children.

Planned Parenthood Founder Said She'd Leave Country If JFK Elected — Because He Was Catholic.  Planned Parenthood founder Margaret Sanger opposed the Catholic Church for decades because of its moral teachings and its theology in general, to the point that in 1960, when John F. Kennedy, a Catholic, ran for president, Sanger said if he were elected, she would "find another place to live."  Sanger (1879-1966), in her many writings and speeches, frequently attacked the Catholic Church, describing it as among the "arch-enemies to hinder the progress of enlightenment" and determined to destroy America's "liberties" and establish its own "rules & dominion."

Black Leaders: Remove Planned Parenthood Founder from Taxpayer-Funded Museum.  African-American leaders and pro-life activists are calling for the Smithsonian to remove the bust of Planned Parenthood founder Margaret Sanger from the National Portrait Gallery.  Bishop E.W. Jackson, president of STAND and Ministers Taking A Stand, said Sanger is responsible for the death of about 285,000 black babies each year.

Anti-abortion groups demand Portrait Gallery remove Planned Parenthood founder bust.  Anti-abortion activists held a rally Thursday [8/27/2015] outside the National Portrait Gallery to demand the Washington museum remove a bust of Margaret Sanger, a controversial eugenicist who founded the organizations that later became Planned Parenthood.  The modern-day abortion provider has come under scrutiny following the release of undercover videos that allegedly show employees brokering the sale of fetal tissue.  Days after widespread protests against the group, E.W. Jackson, a conservative Christian minister and Virginia lawyer, led the rally in Washington urging the removal of the Sanger bust.

Planned Parenthood Praises Women Who Support Black Genocide.  Planned Parenthood's Maggie Awards praised 16 women who emulate one of the most influential eugenicists in America, Margaret Sanger.  Margaret Sanger saw Blacks and immigrants as weeds who should be sterilized.

Why Progressives Are Wrong to Revere Margaret Sanger.  Margaret Sanger is a saint in the feminist church.  She is a charter member of the progressive hall of fame.  Liberals revere this woman who preached "race improvement" and denounced what she called "human weeds".  Hillary Clinton glows that she is "in awe of" Sanger.  She said so in 2009 upon receiving Planned Parenthood's "highest honor" that year:  its coveted Margaret Sanger Award.  Likewise effusive was Nancy Pelosi when she proudly accepted the award in 2014.  Speaking to Planned Parenthood a year earlier, President Barack Obama, hailed the organization founded by this racial eugenicist committed to creating a "race of thoroughbreds" and purging America's "race of degenerates."

Black Pastors Want Bust of Margaret Sanger Removed From Smithsonian.  On August 7, leaders of Ministers Taking a Stand, a group of Black Christian pastors headed by Bishop E.W. Jackson, founder of Exodus Faith Ministries in Chesapeake, Virginia, sent a letter to Kim Sajet, director of the National Portrait Gallery at the Smithsonian Institution in Washington, asking that a bust of Planned Parenthood founder Margaret Sanger be removed from all National Portrait Gallery exhibits. [...] The ministers' letter noted that Sanger "was a racist, elitist, and her beliefs led to massive destruction of unborn human life.  She was no hero."  An article in American Thinker on August 11 noted that this exposure of Sanger may become a political liability for Hillary Clinton, who has openly expressed admiration for the Planned Parenthood founder.  When then-Secretary of State Clinton accepted the Margaret Sanger Award at the 2009 Planned Parenthood Honors Gala in Houston, Texas, she told the gathered crowd: ["]I admire Margaret Sanger enormously, her courage, her tenacity, her vision.  Another of my great friends, Ellen Chesler, is here, who wrote a magnificent biography of Margaret Sanger called Woman of Valor.  And when I think about what she did all those years ago in Brooklyn, taking on archetypes, taking on attitudes and accusations flowing from all directions, I am really in awe of her.["]

Anti-abortion activists rally at Capitol ahead of Senate panel's Planned Parenthood investigation.  Anti-abortion activists rallied at the Texas Capitol Tuesday to applaud the state's Republican leaders for investigating Planned Parenthood.  The Senate Health and Human Services committee will meet Wednesday to investigate Planned Parenthood's role in fetal tissue donation programs.  The investigation is one of three called for by state leaders following the release of undercover videos showing several Planned Parenthood national officials discussing tissue procurement methods and reimbursement fees.

Fourth Planned Parenthood video could drop at Texas Senate hearing.  Fresh off the heels of the Center for Medical Progress releasing video of a former Planned Parenthood worker discussing organ harvesting is the possibly of a fourth video.  This time it won't be on the Internet, it will be in a Texas Senate committee.  A spokesperson for Senator Charles Schwertner told The Texas Tribune state Attorney General investigators were the ones who were given the video.

Third Planned Parenthood video released: 'Huge trafficking of fetal tissues'.  A third Planned Parenthood video was released Tuesday morning that features a whistleblower who says her biomedical company would compensate Planned Parenthood clinics for fetal organs based on their condition and quality after being extracted from an abortion.  Holly O'Donnell is a former technician for California-based Stem Express, a company that contracts with abortion clinics for the tissue.  "The more valuable the tissue the more money you get, so if you can somehow procure a brain or a heart you're going to get more money than just umbilical cord," O'Donnell says in the video.  "So I guess that's incentive to try and get the hard stuff because they get more money."

Planned Parenthood Investigation Reportedly Shows Doctors Discussing How To Maximize Revenue From Sale Of Fetal Tissue.  In a new video just released by the Center for Medical Progress, a former clinical worker at StemExpress described her job of identifying pregnant women "who met criteria for fetal tissue orders and to harvest fetal body parts after their abortions."  Holly O'Donnell, a licensed phlebotomist, said she "unsuspectingly took as job as a 'procurement technician'" at the fetal tissue company StemExpress, which was allegedly the primary buyer of fetal body parts from Planned Parenthood.  She said she fainted on her first day on the job when she was asked to dissect a "freshly aborted" baby.

With its Planned Parenthood editorial, the New York Times repeats a shameful history.  [Scroll down]  Last week, the New York Times editorial board finally responded to week-old revelations of Planned Parenthood officials casually discussing the ways they "crush" human fetuses and use "less crunchy" methods to better preserve their body parts for research.  Despite the fact that a great many of the protestations were moral objections from a variety of religious groups, the New York Times failed to address these concerns at all.  Instead, it focused on the deceptive investigative techniques of those who obtained the video and, in an unintended twist of irony, lauded the use of aborted fetuses to provide researchers with "lifesaving tissue."  For the record, religious pro-life advocates like me are not panicking because we are opposed to organ donation.  We are panicking because we are opposed to taking organs from donors without their consent.

Courts Or Congress Must Act Against Planned Parenthood.  The Center for Medical Progress' graphic third video sting of Planned Parenthood, with perhaps 10 more coming, undeniably exposes a profit motive.  Will law enforcement pounce?  Three videos now that show Planned Parenthood very much wants good money for fetal body parts.  As the abortion giant hires Washington crisis communications firm SKDKnickerbocker, the spotlight now shines on what the New York Times calls a legal "gray area."

Planned Parenthood Hires Crisis Communication Firm Featuring Anita Dunn.  Planned Parenthood has hired a high-profile crisis communication firm to help it deal with fallout from a series of undercover sting videos produced by the Center for Medical Progress.  Politico reports that PP has hired SKDKnickerbocker, a firm which features former Obama communications staffer Anita Dunn as a managing director.  Dunn is perhaps best known for a speech she gave extolling the political philosophy of communist revolutionary Mao Zedong.

Shocking new Planned Parenthood sting video shows graphic footage of doctors haggling over the price of dissected fetal tissue.  The Center for Medical Progress has released a third undercover video in their ongoing campaign against Planned Parenthood.  This latest video features two doctors dissecting aborted fetal tissue while discussing the pricing of the parts with a potential buyer.  They also released an interview with a woman who used to work in a Planned Parenthood clinic for the company StemExpress and was tasked with procuring tissue from aborted fetuses.

Ted Cruz Slams 'Passionately Pro-Abortion Media' for 'Hiding' Videos.  [Scroll down]  During the event, MRC Culture asked Sen. Cruz if the the media and journalists have done enough to cover the videos.  "No, of course they're not," Cruz began.  "The mainstream media wants to do everything they can to hide these videos from the American people."  In the interview, Sen. Cruz accused the media of keeping the truth about Planned Parenthood from Americans.  "When you see a senior Planned Parenthood official say she wants to sell so many body parts of unborn children, she can buy a Lamborghini?  Those are not the values of the American people."

Planned Parenthood Tries To Silence Undercover Videos By Sending Threatening Letters To TV Stations.  "The material should not be aired," states a press release sent out to the stations.  This absurdly transparent attempt at damage control is no surprise.  The organization has been engaging in mafia-like strong-arm tactics in their all-out attack-as-defense strategy, including congressional pressure, an Obama Department of Justice investigation, and the same from the California Attorney General's office.  In short, PP is willing to do just about anything to stop people from hearing bad things about it.  Well, anything except for not selling baby parts.

Planned Parenthood Butchers Now Warning News Organizations Against Airing Undercover Videos.  They must know even worse videos are coming, if you can imagine that.

Planned Parenthood warns news media — don't air undercover sting videos.  Planned Parenthood of Minnesota, North Dakota and South Dakota warned news outlets today that airing undercover videos from the Center for Medical Progress could violate "patient privacy."  Planned Parenthood says the videos violate laws however no wrong doing by the Center for Medical Progress has been proven.  Planned Parenthood has been under fire since two videos were released showing officials discussing tissue acquisition from unborn fetuses.  The Center for Medical Progress says it has several more videos it will be releasing in the coming months.  Planned Parenthood has also found itself in hot water with the federal government.  The organization gets tax dollars to help offset operating costs.  The released videos have prompted some lawmaker to move to try and defund the organization.

3rd Planned Parenthood Sting Video Reveals Profit Strategy, Insider's Gruesome Account.  In 2012, [Holly] O'Donnell took the job at the fetal tissue company under the assumption she would be drawing blood.  As it turns out, her job was much more sinister in nature.  In fact, she fainted on her first day when she was asked to dissect a freshly aborted fetus.  For the next 6 months O'Donnell identified and harvested fetal body parts from pregnant women meeting criteria for specific orders at Planned Parenthood.  StemExpress was paid handsomely for the service.  O'Donnell said, "For whatever we could procure, they would get a certain percentage.  The main nurse was always trying to make sure we got our specimens.  No one else really cared, but the main nurse did because she knew that Planned Parenthood was getting compensated."

Americans Must Look Planned Parenthood, Abortion Industry in The Eye.  Undercover investigators in recent weeks have added to the evidence that we already had that the abortion industry, and Planned Parenthood in particular, sells the body parts of the babies it kills.  As one of those who is close to this project through my partnership with Operation Rescue, and who knows the key players in this investigation, I have been asked by some reporters whether these videos represent a new strategy that replaces for the pro-life movement some of the older strategies like showing graphic pictures of aborted babies.  My answer: not at all.  On the contrary, these videos fit into a coherent strategy that I and other pro-life leaders have taught for decades and that is rooted in the history of social reform:  social injustices thrive when they are hidden; therefore, you expose them.

Hillary channels Margaret Sanger.  Let's see what Mrs. Clinton finds so laudable about the well-known Margaret Sanger: a leading voice of eugenics, defined as a belief in the possibility of improving the qualities of the human species or a human population, especially by such means as discouraging reproduction by persons having genetic defects or presumed to have inheritable undesirable traits.  This selfsame philosophy (and its disproven pseudo-science) informed Nazi Germany's racial policies and extermination of Jews and so-called "life not fit for life."  Essentially, Mrs. Sanger's view was the creation of a (white) "master race" by determining or otherwise controlling who has children. [...] That was the underlying purpose of Planned Parenthood, started by "trailblazer" Sanger in 1916.  So why would Mrs. Clinton proudly accept such a dubious honor named for such a nefarious character (especially in light of the history, of which it is reasonable to assume she is aware) and further defend that organization today with the exposure of business practices that would have given Adolf Hitler pause?

Planned Parenthood video has clarified how sick the abortion industry is.  The tax funded abortion behemoth has a strong presence in minority neighborhoods. By some estimates, almost 80 percent of their clinics are located in them.  They would say women there need their compassionate care.  But of course, at a Planned Parenthood clinic, what you mostly find is abortion masquerading as compassion.  Margaret Sanger, the founder, would be happy with the results of her work.  She was an avowed eugenecist and once referred to blacks and immigrants as "human weeds, reckless breeders, spawning ... human beings who never should have been born."  I'm sure she would be pleased to know that the location of these clinics ensure that a high proportion of the over 300,000 abortions the company performs each year eliminate brown and black children.

Reflections on Roe: When Margaret Sanger spoke to the KKK.  As liberals excoriate Republican Congressman Steve Scalise for speaking to a group with a reported connection to David Duke, former KKK member, I'm reminded today — on the anniversary of Roe v. Wade — of a moment that liberals will never dare acknowledge:  a 1926 speech to the KKK by one of their most revered ideological darlings, Planned Parenthood founder Margaret Sanger.

Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg Channels Margaret Sanger.  Thanks to US Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, a well-known liberal and feminist, Americans are getting an inside look at what Margaret Sanger, Planned Parenthood's founder, probably would have embraced today — and who she would have embraced today.  From her recent comments on abortion, Justice Ginsburg would have been praised by Ms. Sanger for her comments on poor people and abortion.

Unearthed footage shows Planned Parenthood founder's true mission.  In what can only be called a gracious historical act, a newsreel archive company called British Pathé has uploaded 85,000 historic films on YouTube — in high resolution, no less. [...] One video that has caught The Daily Caller's eye is the one [in this article], in which American birth control activist Margaret Sanger (here called Margaret Slee, which was her second husband's name) sternly demands that the women of the world have "no more babies."

Pelosi Getting Award Named for Woman Who Called Children 'Human Weeds'.  Planned Parenthood on Thursday will give House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) its Margaret Sanger Award, named for a woman who advocated eugenics and who described some children as "human weeds," while arguing that to grow a "beautiful garden of children," you "have got to fight weeds."  In that same speech from 1925, Sanger explained that parenthood should be legal only under certain conditions:  a minimum age for parents of 23 years, a "space out between births," "economic circumstances adequate," and "spiritual harmony between parents."

Pelosi Deserves Her Planned Parenthood Award.  It's true that Congresswoman Nancy Pelosi deserves Planned Parenthood's Margaret Sanger Award — almost no one has done more to promote the killing of innocent babies in the womb than she has.  If Mrs. Pelosi wants finally to take her role as a public servant seriously, though, she will reject the award named after a racist woman who had no problem speaking to a Ku Klux Klan meeting.

Obama's Racial Eugenics Award?  Margaret Sanger longed for a more enlightened time when birth control would be (as she put it) "part of the regular welfare service of the government." [...] Sanger could not have known it, but she was speaking of Barack Obama's America, where birth control is being thrust upon us as a basic "human right" and form of "health care" with no obstacles in its way.  In fact, it's even easier than Sanger could have imagined: Not only do contemporary progressives want no obstacles, but Obama wants all Americans to forcibly pay for birth control.  He is even forcing the religious to do so via his HHS mandate.  He and his progressive cohorts are rolling right over any "legal restrictions" or "religious condemnation."  If you as a religious believer disagree, they will see you in court.  You will be penalized and demonized.  Under Obama, we have arrived at Sanger's new world, where birth control is a regular service of the federal government.

Steinem on Medal of Freedom Award: It Will Be 'Honoring the Work of Margaret Sanger'.  Speaking at the National Press Club in Washington, D.C., on Monday, feminist Gloria Steinem said receiving the Medal of Freedom from President Barack Obama would be "honoring the work of Margaret Sanger."  "I hope this is retroactive in honoring the work of Margaret Sanger," said Steinem about the woman who founded what would become Planned Parenthood Federation of America, the largest abortion provider in the United States.

Deliver Us From Evil: Black Professor Spews Hate.  Americans abort 4,000 babies a day, of which a disproportionately high number are black.  Planned Parenthood was founded by racist Margaret Sanger to fix "the negro problem."  "We don't want the word to go out that we want to exterminate the Negro population," wrote Sanger.  Liberal blacks like Professor Tillet and Democrat so-called advocates for black empowerment ignore the blatant racism of Planned Parenthood.

First Black President Makes Racist White Woman's Dream Come True.  One of [Margaret] Sanger's most audacious initiatives began in 1939.  A memorandum, "Suggestions for Negro Project," made its way to her desk from Dr. Clarence Gamble, the director of the Birth Control Federation of the South.  Sanger made it clear she did not want her racist motivations to be exposed, so she worked to enlist black preachers to carry the birth control message into Southern black communities.  The marketing plan worked.  By 1947, black leaders throughout the country gave their blessing to Planned Parenthood.

The Uncanny Union of Kermit and Miss Maggie.  [P]erhaps the public should learn to connect the dots between the wholesale slaughter of black babies and the abortion industry's uncomfortable racial connection with eugenics — beginning with the Malthusian vision of Planned Parenthood's founder, Margaret Sanger.

Why They Won't Talk About Kermit Gosnell.  [Mara] Hvistendahl's plaint recalled the incredible work of Edwin Black, most notably his book War Against the Weak, which detailed the role American eugenics played in the monstrous ethnic cleansing in Europe in the 20th century culminating in the Holocaust.  One of the most important personalities in this terrible saga was the eugenicist Margaret Sanger, who founded Planned Parenthood.

Democrat Legislator Slams Democrats for Targeting Black Babies in Abortions.  Connecticut State Representative Treneé McGee, D-West Haven, condemned her party's proposal for a constitutional amendment that would make it easier for young girls to have late-term abortions in the state.  The measure, she said, would annihilate more black babies.  McGee was a keynote speaker on Wednesday at the third annual Connecticut March for Life.  She has spoken at the national March for Life in Washington, DC, and is known for bucking the radical pro-abortion legislation often proposed by members of her own political party and also backed by some of her state's Republicans.  "I'm concerned with the abortion industry's target on women of color and pieces of legislation that, I believe, are detrimental to my community," McGee told the crowd who rallied at the state Capitol in Hartford.  "In the state of Connecticut, you can seek an abortion up to 24 weeks — that is six months."  McGee pointed to the courage of Fannie Lou Hamer, another black pro-life woman who led a movement of women of color.

Cori Bush Claims Her Abortion Was the Result of Being Black.  One of the most progressive House of Representatives in the U.S., Cori Bush, is claiming that because she is black, she was forced to have an abortion.  While speaking to PBS' Firing Line with Margaret Hoover, Bush said that at 19 she went into a clinic to have an abortion done, (not her first one) and after telling nurses that she wasn't ready, Bush says that she was forced to have the procedure done against her will.

Eugenics in Britain.  Eugenics — meaning 'good breeding' — was coined in 1883 by Sir Francis Galton to describe 'the science which deals with all influences which improve the inborn qualities of a race'.  While the 'science' of eugenics is now widely discredited, a few of its leading proponents, and numerous others with looser links to the movement, have been given London blue plaques in the past.  At the time, their views were either regarded as uncontroversial or their achievements were considered to outweigh any reservations about their eugenic connections.  The same may not be necessarily true today.

Why do Democrats want to kill all the black babies?  Some 63 million American babies have been aborted since Roe v. Wade.  Almost 40% were black even though blacks comprise only about 13% of the population.  The black abortion rate is nearly five times the white rate.  Justice Clarence Thomas observed in a Supreme Court case a few years ago that in New York City a black baby is more likely to be aborted than to be born.  Altogether, that amounts to over 20 million dead black babies since Roe v. Wade.  To put that number in perspective, the number of unarmed blacks killed by police in that period is a few dozen — amounting to something like 0.0002% of the number aborted.  Over a third of the black population of America has been lost to abortion.  If the dead black babies were placed head to toe, they would stretch from coast to coast.  If they were buried in a cemetery at standard densities, the cemetery would be about 20,000 acres or 31 square miles.

Tim Scott Responds To Janet Yellen Claiming Black Women Need Abortion Access.  President Joe Biden's Treasury Secretary, Janet Yellen, said Tuesday [5/10/2022] that making abortion illegal would be bad for the economy.  Yellen was asked by Democratic New Jersey Sen. Bob Menendez during a Senate hearing about the economic impact of the Supreme Court's reported decision to undo Roe v. Wade, opening a path for states to impose increased restrictions on abortion.  Yellen said that legalized abortion helped women make more money and participate in the labor force.  [Video clip]  The Treasury Secretary was later pressed on the pro-abortion comments by Republican South Carolina Sen. Tim Scott.  "Some of your comments in response to Bob's question, I found troubling.  Just for clarity's sake, did you say that ending the life of a child is good for the labor force participation rate?"

White Pro-Abortion Protestors Silent When Asked If All Black Lives Matter.  Since its inception, the Black Lives Matter movement has been little more than a charade.  The group's name is itself discriminatory, but not overly provocative.  But the movement itself has never been about black lives.  It's always been about promoting the ideals of extreme leftwing politics and the dismantling of American institutions.  While much has been said in opposition to BLM, and their own corruption and duplicity have resulted in a dramatic crash in public opinion for the group, seldom has any been so effective and clever in dismantling their arguments as what we see in this video of a man with a bullhorn addressing a group of protesters at a health care facility:  [Video clip]

Abortion Is a 'Tool of Modern-Day Eugenics,' Blacks and Hispanics Tell The Supreme Court.  In a powerful new legal filing, black and Hispanic pro-lifers ask the Supreme Court to blot out the "dark stain" of its precedent on eugenics by striking down Roe v.  Wade (1973) and the "right" to race-based abortion, which they describe as a "tool of modern-day eugenics."  The pro-lifers write that the case Thomas Dobbs v.  Jackson Women's Health "is an ideal vehicle for the Court to finally overrule Roe v.  Wade and its progeny, which have constitutionalized eugenic abortions as a fundamental right."  In the brief, the National Hispanic Christian Leadership Conference (NHCLC) — America's largest Hispanic Christian evangelical organization representing more than 100 million Hispanic evangelicals in over 40,000 U.S. churches — teamed up with the Frederick Douglass Foundation, Stand for Life President Alveda King (Martin Luther King Jr.'s niece), Deacon Keith Fournier, the Common Good Foundation, and the Roman Catholic Diocese of Tyler, Texas.

BLM is conspicuously quiet about massive numbers of Black deaths.  Blacks make up slightly less than 13% of the American population — a percentage that's diminishing daily as the Biden administration floods the country with illegal aliens from Latin America.  However, Blacks are also doing their bit to keep their presence in American relatively small:  They're aborting their babies in extraordinary numbers.  CNS News caught up with CDC statistics for 2018, based on data from only 31 reporting areas.  They show that 117,626 Black children were aborted — or 33.6% of all reported 2018 abortions.

Democrat Tammy Duckworth Says It's "Racist" to Save Black Babies From Abortion.  Illinois Senator Tammy Duckworth introduced a bill Thursday [3/25/2021] to force American taxpayers to pay for abortions, arguing that it would be racist not to.  The Huffington Post reports Duckworth's Equal Access to Abortion Coverage in Health Insurance Act would reverse the Hyde Amendment and force all health insurance plans, including taxpayer-funded Medicaid, to cover elective abortions.  U.S. Rep. Barbara Lee, D-California, is the sponsor in the U.S. House.  "This isn't about what side you're on in the abortion debate, it's about equality and opportunity plain and simple," Duckworth said Wednesday during a press conference.  "Whatever you think about the procedure, we should all agree that what's legal for wealthy Americans should not be so inaccessible for Americans of color and low-income Americans."  Duckworth and Lee argued that the amendment hurts poor and minority women by making it harder for them to abort their unborn babies.

Black Sheriff Says if Black Lives Mattered They'd Protest at Abortion Clinics.  CNN's Poppy Harlow interviewed Milwaukee Sheriff David Clarke about the recent protests that some in the Black Community have sparked after the police related deaths of Michael Brown and Eric Garner.  Harlow asked the Sheriff, who has been on several news shows on Fox and others, about a tweet he sent out implying that if Black lives mattered the protesters would be outside abortion clinics because of the high numbers of black babies killed by abortion.  The tweet sent by Sheriff Clarke, a black man himself, was sent to Mitch Smith, Journalist in the Chicago bureau of The New York Times and read, "If only these faux protesters were asked by media about all the black on black killing or black babies aborted in US every year."

Black pastors condemn Rev. Warnock's 'grave errors of judgment'.  A group of pastors condemned Georgia Senate candidate Raphael Warnock's statement that he is a "pro-choice pastor," saying that Warnock's comment shows "grave errors of judgement," in a letter obtained by the Daily Caller News Foundation.  A coalition of Black Christian ministers sent a letter Friday entreating Warnock, a reverend headed into a January runoff election against Republican Georgia Sen. Kelly Loeffler, "to reconsider" his "public advocacy for abortion."  "Unborn Black, brown and white lives are so much more than clumps of cells, burdensome inconveniences, or health problems," the letter said.  "They are sacred human persons endowed by God with inalienable dignity and worth.  We implore you to uphold the Biblical defense of life and to fight against the systemic racism of abortion."

The Editor says...
There is no such thing as a pro-abortion Christian.

As a Black Pastor, I Must Speak Out on Abortion Because 19 Million Black Babies Have Been Killed.  In recent months, multiple states like Alabama, Georgia, and Louisiana have passed laws to curb access to abortion.  The left and the mainstream media are spinning a narrative that a draconian cabal of lawmakers is unjustly trying to take power away from women, and that under these laws women will face unspeakable horrors as they make their way to backroom alleys to have abortions performed with coat hangers.  Loud is the outrage and sharp is the criticism from women's groups, college students, and prominent Democratic leaders.  But the fact of the matter is that over 61 million babies have been aborted since Roe v.  Wadein 1973.  Over 19 million of those babies were African-American.  The left loves to play identity politics when it suits their agenda, but the uncomfortable facts on abortion cut against their narrative:  While blacks only make up 13% of the population, they account for over one-third of all abortions in the U.S.  Of all the people talking about abortion, I want to hear from the church.  Where does the body of Christ stand on these new abortion laws sweeping the nation?  In particular, I want to hear from the black church.

Black Pro-Life Activists File Racial Discrimination Claim Against Planned Parenthood.  A coalition of black pro-life activists filed a racial discrimination claim against Planned Parenthood, asserting the organization has been targeting black women and babies for nearly half a century.  According to an announcement released last week at Christian Newswire, the National Black Pro-Life Coalition filed the racial discrimination claim with the Office for Civil Rights (OCR) at the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services (HHS).

Planned Parenthood Kills More Blacks in 2 Weeks Than the KKK Killed in a Century.  [Scroll down]  While writing this article, we were censored by Deities of Diversity.  Apparently, Instagram deleted our post, threatening to restrict or disable our account if we violate their guidelines again.  But... we didn't violate any guidelines.  The explanation they included in the warning were about threatening violence.  Of course the meme wasn't threatening violence — it denounced racial violence, no matter the era.  But Titans of Tolerance have no interest in the truth.  They can delete our posts, and even our account, but they can't delete the truth.  And of course, there was no due process, no appeal process, no one to reach to correct this injustice.  There was no option other than to click OK and the purge was complete.  The meme juxtaposes the vile, racist and elitist worldview of those in white coats who unapologetically set out to control the population with the same racism that drove the murderous acts of a bunch of cowards in white sheets.  The online graphic reads:  "We kill more black lives in 2 weeks than the KKK lynched in a century... Planned Parenthood:  Eugenics.  No Matter What."  The URL in the meme provides the context of how abortion has become the leading killer in the black community.  And finally, an image of a noose appears above those words as an instrument of racial violence (which killed an estimated 3,446 African-Americans).  Today, an estimated 247 black lives are killed every day by Planned Parenthood with forceps, chemicals and other devices.

Black American Says:  If Black Lives Matter, Talk About Black Babies Killed in Abortions.  A new video featured on the Daily Wire, "Black Americans Speak Out Against BLM; UNLOAD on the Democratic Party," shows clips of several black men speaking during what appear to be rallies and protests in cities across the U.S.  One of them brought up abortions while another noted how the Black Lives Matter organization wants to destroy the nuclear family.  "It's not even a legitimate cause," said one man wearing a MAGA hat and carrying a Trump flag.  "If we're going to talk about Black Lives Matter, let's talk about the abortion rate.  The black abortion rate.  Talking about more black babies being killed in New York City than birthed."  If the movement really cared about black lives, he said, it would advocate for the lives of unborn babies who are slaughtered in abortions at a massive rate.  As he mentioned, New York City abortion rates in the black community are higher than birth rates.  According to city health statistics, more black babies are aborted in the city than are born every year.

Yes, Virginia (and all the other States), There is Systemic Racism in America.  The Supreme Court legalized abortion in 1973, a procedure that has a more racist past than a Confederate statue.  Abortion was a key part of the eugenics movement in this country going back to the 1920's, when Margaret Sanger created the precursor to Planned Parenthood.  Abortion was used to purify the white race and eliminate the black race back then, and black women continue to have abortions to at far higher rates than whites and Hispanics to this day.  These deaths have reduced the black population, watered down their representation in society, and eliminated the potential contributions of millions of people to this world.

First they came for the statues, now stained glass windows.  Yet one woman's vile history is overlooked.  First they came for the statues; then they came for the stained glass windows.  Yes, the fashion (at least among undergraduates) for trashing commemorative edifices is developing new forms. [...] Oddly, though, there is one British eugenicist whose name is widely known outside the academic world.  That person's name is advertised in magazines and on hoardings, and it pulls in many millions of pounds of taxpayers' money every year.  I refer to Marie Stopes.  The organisation bearing her name, Marie Stopes International, is perhaps the world's biggest abortion provider.  Not only are its operations in this country largely paid for by us as an adjunct to the NHS, its overseas work is given huge sums by the Department for International Development.

God Save Us from the Woke Pastor.  [Scroll down]  If the Woke Pastor truly desired an uncomfortable conversation on racism, he'd preach on the 247 black babies murdered every day at abortion clinics.  That's a real-life genocide happening right before us.  Yet the same Woke Pastor doing his best Al Sharpton impression on a bullhorn for George Floyd, will give Planned Parenthood a pass.  Standing mute on this abomination is even more indefensible because Planned Parenthood's founder, Margaret Sanger, was a nasty racist who viewed eugenics — eugenics (!) — as the solution to assuage racial tension.

There's an ugly cynicism lurking behind the Black Lives Matter movement.  For white Democrats, as the nominally Catholic Nancy Pelosi put it, abortion is "sacred ground."  All those white, indoctrinated college grads have been taught that their "white man's burden" is to encourage black people to dispose of their inconvenient futures.  Doing so will raise up blacks, especially women.  Except that's not what's happened since abortion became legal.  Too many black communities are economically stagnant, despite all the abortions.  And sadly, blacks are disposing of that future by the millions.  Here's the data just for Georgia: ["]According to recent Centers for Disease Control (CDC) statistics, while African-Americans constitute 32.2 percent of Georgia's population, 62.4 percent of abortions in Georgia are performed on African-American women.  By contrast, whites constitute 60.8 percent of the Georgia population, but only 24.7 percent of abortions were performed on white women.  Even pro-abortion groups like the Guttmacher Institute admit that 'black women are more than 5 times as likely as white women to have an abortion.'["]  How can young black people feel that their lives have value if women in the community dispose of their pregnancies as casually as old shoes?

The loudest silence you'll ever hear.  How very odd, the way Planned Parenthood's original mission has been so thoroughly erased from history.  [Video clip]

Black man silences medical workers vocal for BLM by asking, 'Do aborted black babies matter?'.  A video making the rounds online exposes the rank hypocrisy behind the Black Lives Matter movement, which has become a runaway train following the death of George Floyd, despite all the violence associated with the movement.  In the short clip, a black man confronts a group of health care providers protesting in front of a hospital in support of Black Lives Matter to ask about aborting black babies.

Planned Parenthood Says Black Lives Matter : Shouldn't it first have some monuments to Margaret Sanger removed?  There is so much sick irony here.  It's so sick that it seems like a cruel racist joke by some white supremacist organization.  As for Planned Parenthood's "Black patients," and its concern for a pandemic that has been "disproportionately ravaging Black communities," Planned Parenthood for nearly 50 years has disproportionately ravaged black communities through abortion.  You want to talk about a public health crisis facing black communities, well, Planned Parenthood owns one. [...] About 40 percent of abortions are among black women, even though blacks make up only 13 percent of the population.  This number has remained consistent for years.  Some civil rights leaders, including Dr. Alveda King, the niece of Martin Luther King Jr., have called this "Black Genocide."  There have been upwards of 20 million abortions of unborn African American babies since Roe v. Wade in 1973.

My View of Looters.  [Scroll down to point #2]  If black lives matter, let's shut down the abortion mills, where the great plurality of human beings killed are black babies.  Of course no one does that, because the abortionists and the Democrat party and the judges are all in bed with each other.  No one hates black life more than the Democrat leadership, in my humble opinion, if we are to judge honestly by the numbers.

Liberals' amazing logic on abortion.  I want you to look at this graph.  It comes from the Guttmacher Institute, which supports abortion.  [Chart]  Now, the Guttmacher Institute says that "lack of access to health insurance and health care plays a role, as do racism and discrimination."  In all such cases, there is the charge that blacks (or people of color) have less access to abortion.  This is one of the arguments in court cases to overturn state laws that limit abortion.  So what does the graphic imply?  It implies that if blacks had better access to abortions, blacks would have even more abortions.  Already, blacks have 2.7 times as many abortions (per capita) as whites.

Black Trump Supporter Explains How Dems Continually Prey on Women of Color to Push Abortion.  A panel of African American voters sat down with Fox News' Martha MacCallum to talk about the issues that are most important to them as we head into the 2020 election.  One of the issues that came up was abortion and how Democrats target the black community.  "My biggest issue with the current Democratic candidates as it comes to the black community is that all of them are pushing for poor women of color to have access to abortion.  That's all that you hear," panelist Angela Stanton King explained.  "Since abortion Roe v Wade has been passed, 46 percent of the black population has been aborted.  To me, personally, you don't have my best interests in mind if the only thing you are offering me is access to abortion to kill my child before it has the chance to live, and then also free welfare.  Black people have been voting Democrat for the past 60 years and it has done absolutely nothing for us but kept us stagnant, on welfare and now here we are, 46 percent of the black vote — I mean, the black people, the black population had been aborted."

Kanye West claims Democrats have 'brainwashed black Americans and 'make them abort their children'.  Kanye West claims black Americans have been 'brainwashed' into voting for the Democratic Party despite the fact the party promotes policies that are harmful to them. [...] When asked about his support for President Donald Trump, West explained that he doesn't believe it is smart for black Americans to bloc vote for Democrats, claiming: 'You are quite easily controlled if they know everybody gonna be blue [Democrat].  If you go to a white [person] bar, you gonna hear people talking Independent, you gonna hear people talking Democrat, you gonna hear people talking Republican'.  In the 2016 Presidential Election, 88 percent of black Americans voted Democrat, while only 8 percent of that same demographic voted Republican.

Baby killing in America:  Planned Parenthood's Black Genocide.  Planned Parenthood has a budget of almost $1.5 billion dollars a year.  One-third of that comes from the Federal Government, that is, the taxpayers.  Planned Parenthood is the largest provider of abortion services in America.  In 2015, there were 638,000 abortions in the United States.  In 2018, Planned Parenthood was responsible for over 50 percent, or over 328,000 abortions.  That is an increase from 321,000 in 2017.  The vast majority of fetuses aborted by Planned Parenthood were black or Hispanic.  In New York City last year, more black children were aborted than were born alive.  Most were aborted by Planned Parenthood.  The drive to abort overrode any concern about the implications of wiping out a generation of black children.  Planned Parenthood comes by its disregard for this destruction naturally.  Margaret Sanger, Planned Parenthood's founder, was a racist eugenist who believed black people were inferior to whites.  Planned Parenthood was created to rid the world of those they considered inferior beings.  Like the Third Reich, they took an animal science approach to the human species:  Thin the herd to improve the breed.

Hugh Culverhouse, Planned Parenthood, and Eugenics.  In 1939, [Margaret] Sanger launched the Negro Project to disseminate birth control throughout Southern black communities.  She wanted black ministers involved, noting, "We do not want word to go out that we want to exterminate the Negro population, and the minister is the man who can straighten out that idea if it ever occurs to any of their more rebellious members."  It is not without a degree of sordid irony to point out that even today, African American women obtain almost half of the abortions in the United States, despite making up only around 13 percent of the population.  The nationwide abortion ratio among black women is nearly 3.5 times the ratio it is for white women.

Joe Biden and the Democrats' Racist Abortion Position.  Last week in Atlanta, Joe Biden, Democrat presidential frontrunner for 2020, said:  "For many years as a U.S. senator, I have supported the Hyde amendment as many, many others have because there was sufficient monies and circumstances where women were able to exercise that right [to abortion], women of color, poor women, women were not able to have access....  But circumstances have changed."  Thus, said Biden, "I can't justify leaving millions of women without access to the care they need and their ability to exercise their constitutionally protected right.  If I believe healthcare is a right as I do, I can no longer support an amendment that makes that right dependent on someone's zip code."  In response, the crowd of liberal women went wild, applauding ecstatically.  It was an incredible moment.  A sick moment.  Think about what Joe Biden said, to liberals' roaring approval:  He's reversing his long-held position so "women of color, poor women" can get abortions — that is, have their abortions publicly paid for.  He's changing specifically because of women of color and poor women.  He wants them to be able to have their abortions.  He wants to make sure money isn't an issue.  He wants no obstacles to them securing their desire to abort their child.

Intersectionality Is A Lie If Pro-Choicers Are Okay With The Black Baby Death Toll.  "The right doesn't actually care about black or brown babies."  I have seen viral variations of this quote on social media countless times the past couple of weeks, amidst pro-life victories in Alabama, Georgia, Louisiana, Ohio, and more.  I listened as Alyssa Milano claimed that protecting the preborn would be "catastrophic" for black women.  I was deeply disturbed as major news outlets flooded readers with arguments that black women would be hurt the most by pro-life laws, even to the point of enslaving them once again.  And I was in utter disbelief when Ohio state Rep. Janine Boyd proposed an amendment to a bill that would only allow black mothers to have an abortion.

Emily Ratajkowski Believes Killing Black Babies Is a Public Service.  Left-wing activist Emily Ratajkowski is making an anti-science argument to justify the murder of unborn black children as a means to lower the prison population.  And I use the term "anti-science" because Ratajkowski's racist appeal to decrease the black prison population as some kind of public service is purely driven by a sense of supremacism and has nothing to do with facts or statistics.

Abortion Racism in Pennsylvania.  There's far and away a disproportionate number of unborn African-American children killed by abortion.  The escorts guide in and funnel their mothers.  As Dan Flynn noted here, Sims' wild claim has great irony given that Planned Parenthood is the spawn of Margaret Sanger, who I've written about frequently, including her work with the "Negro Project," her gospel of "race improvement," her May 1926 speech to the Silverlake, New Jersey chapter of the KKK.  The vast majority of Planned Parenthood clinics are located near African-American populations.  The infamous Gosnell "House of Horrors," a sick slaughterhouse of unborn black children, resided just down the street from where Sims engaged in his antics accusing pro-lifers of racism.  It's downright stunning that [State Representative Brian] Sims either cannot see that or, in turn, casts the finger of racist shame in the complete opposite direction.

The Black Pro-Life Leaders Who Condemn Planned Parenthood.  When the governors of New York and Virginia recently endorsed abortion up to — and even beyond — the moment of birth, they added considerably more fuel to an already raging fire.  Far from the Democratic Party's older pledge to make abortion "safe, legal, and rare," they now seek to make it permanently legal, exceedingly common, unsafe for mother, and deadly for the fully formed child — especially for Planned Parenthood's primary targets:  black Americans.  If anyone thinks the use of words like "holocaust" and "genocide," or the comparison to slavery and lynching, is overblown hyperbole, listen to what prominent black leaders have said over the past half-century. [...]

The Rolling Genocide of America's Blacks.  When is a genocide not a genocide?  When it is a "rolling genocide."  When it is an ongoing but never finished extermination of a people targeted for destruction.  When it rolls on, generation after generation.  When it is too profitable to bring to an end.

Abortion and the Politics of Self-Destruction.  Planned Parenthood began 1916 when Margaret Sanger opened America's first birth control clinic in Brooklyn.  Less well known is that Sanger was a racist and eugenicist who considered many Americans unworthy of life. [...] Sanger wrote a letter in 1939 saying "We do not want word to go out that we want to exterminate the Negro population."  Given the popularity of Planned Parenthood among Democrats, and overwhelming support of the Democrat party among blacks, obviously word of this did not get out. [...] Hillary Clinton, in 2009, accepted Planned Parenthood's Margaret Sanger Award.  She remarked, "I admire Margaret Sanger enormously, her courage, her tenacity, her vision."

Are the Days of Roe v.  Wade Numbered?  Every time I lament that my fellow blacks insanely support Planned Parenthood, which targets black babies to kill, I'm flooded with emails from whites.  "Lloyd, let blacks know Planned Parenthood was founded by rabid racist Margaret Sanger to exterminate blacks."  Frustrated, I yell at my computer.  "I've been telling blacks the truth about Sanger and Planned Parenthood for years to no avail!"  Unbelievably, over 20 black religious leaders gathered to ceremonially "bless" a new Planned Parenthood abortion chop-shop in Washington, D.C.  These supposed black shepherds are participating in the genocide of their own flocks.  To stop the black-on-black genocide via abortion, Godly black ministers put up a billboard.  "The most dangerous place for an African-American is in the womb."  Guess who had a cow and demanded that the billboard be removed?  The answer is Rev. Al Sharpton, black civil rights organizations, and Democrats.

Planned Parenthood and the African-American Community.  Does Planned Parenthood target blacks?  That is what Dr. Martin Luther King's niece thinks.  Recently, I spoke on my radio show with Evangelist Alveda King, the niece of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.  She is the Director of Civil Rights for the Unborn with the organization Priests for Life.  The focus was on Planned Parenthood and the African-American community.  Her comments are relevant all year around, especially around this time of MLK day and the anniversary of the Supreme Court decision favoring abortion, Roe v. Wade (January 22, 1973).  Dr. Alveda King told me, "The leading cause of death in the African-American community is not gang-violence, gun violence, heart attack, stroke, HIV, high blood pressure, diabetes.  People will name all these.  No, it's abortion.  And the reason we have come to that conclusion, statistically, you've got 60 million plus abortions legal in America since 1973.  About a third of those occur in the African-American community.  That means dead babies.  And, with us being 13 percent or less of America's population, that means we are having more abortions."

Report: Abortion Accounts for 61% of Black Deaths in America.  A report Thursday [8/2/2018] analyzed research using data from the latest year for which all the pertinent information is available (2009) and found that induced abortion was responsible for 1.152 million deaths, making it the number one cause of death in the U.S. at nearly twice the number of deaths from heart disease (599,413) and cancer (567,628).  While abortion accounted for nearly a third of all U.S. deaths in 2009 (32.1 percent), more troubling still, it made up 61.1 percent of African American deaths, according to the study published in the Open Journal of Preventive Medicine (June 2016).

Black Pastor Slams Abortion: 1,800 Black Babies Killed in Abortion Each Day.  As NAACP leaders gather for the annual convention in Baltimore, several prominent black pastors and pro-lifers hope to convict civil rights advocates on the tragedy of abortion.  The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People supports abortion, despite it being the largest destroyer of black lives in America.  The civil rights group even opposed a bill to ban abortions based on the unborn baby's race.  Several years ago, the NAACP also sued LifeNews and black pro-life advocate Ryan Bomberger after they exposed the organization's pro-abortion stance.  This week, the Rev. Clenard Childress Jr., a leading pro-life advocate in the black community, hopes to reach out to leaders at the NAACP convention and share the truth about abortion, according to One News Now.

Black Pastor:  Why Hasn't NAACP Denounced Racist Planned Parenthood Founder Margaret Sanger?  The NAACP religiously monitors the world for racist comments made by dignitaries, especially elected officials and organizations opposing the Democrat Party.  The bias demonstrated is consistent with the decline of relevancy on issues adversely affecting the very people they were created to protect.  When informed and genuine advocates of the African American community see the devastating effects of eugenic policies perpetrated upon people-of-color, then learn the origins and racist comments as well as practices of the leading abortion provider Planned Parenthood, they are left baffled at the silence of America's most prestigious defenders of civil rights.  Let me enumerate some undeniable and inconvenient truths:  [#1] — 1,786 African American children are killed each day by abortion.  [#2] — Abortion is systemic and deliberate, and the leading provider of abortion in America is Planned Parenthood.  [#3] — 52% of all African American pregnancies end in abortion.  [#4] — Abortion is the most performed operation on a woman.  It remains the least regulated medical procedure and is often completely ignored by health regulation enforcement.

Let's Talk About the Black Abortion Rate.  As Judge Brett Kavanaugh's Supreme Court nomination tees up another national debate about reproductive rights, is it too much to ask that abortion's impact on the black population be part of the discussion?  When the Supreme Court decided Roe v. Wade in 1973, polling showed that blacks were less likely than whites to support abortion.  Sixties-era civil rights activists like Fannie Lou Hamer and Whitney Young had denounced the procedure as a form of genocide.  Jesse Jackson called abortion "murder" and once told a black newspaper in Chicago that "we used to look for death from the man in the blue coat and now it comes in a white coat."  In the intervening decades, those views shifted.  Mr. Jackson abandoned the pro-life ship to run for president in 1984, and leaders of black civil-rights organizations today are joined at the hip with abortion-rights proponents such as Planned Parenthood.  A Pew Research Center survey taken last year found that 50% of Hispanics, 58% of whites and 62% of blacks now say abortion should be legal in all or most cases.

Amy Coney Barrett vs. Ruth Bader Ginsburg.  "Frankly," said Ruth Bader Ginsburg in July 2009, "I had thought that at the time Roe was decided, there was concern about population growth and particularly growth in populations that we don't want to have too many of.  So that Roe was going to be then set up for Medicaid funding for abortion."  The great added blessing of Roe:  Not only could it give women the "right" to abortion, but it could open the way for the federal government, via Medicaid, to fund abortions of children in undesired populations.  That assessment by Ginsburg was provided in a July 7, 2009 piece in the New York Times Magazine, titled, "The Place of Women on the Court."

Leftist Propaganda Thwarts Unity.  The Americans who listen to the Washington Post, the New York Times, and all the networks are being systematically lied to. [...] MSM propaganda ensures that most Americans don't know that abortion is legal in America for any reason up to the point of birth.  People also don't know that Jesse Jackson called abortion "genocide against blacks" and that black women are three times as likely to abort their unborn children as white women are.  The only reason why people don't recognize Democratic policies as racist is MSM propaganda.

Planned Parenthood President and CEO Cecile Richards About To Resign?  The abortion mill, known as Planned Parenthood has been lead by Cecile Richards for years now.  The Democrat hag Richards is reportedly about to resign from her roll as president and CEO of the abortion butcher shop known as Planned Parenthood which was set 100 years ago by Democrats to ethnically cleanse blacks and other minorities.

Is Ohio's Largest Abortion Provider Targeting Black Neighborhoods in Cleveland?  Over at RedState, Jennifer Van Laar had a rather disturbing post coming out of Ohio.  There appears to be a campaign from an abortion provider, Preterm, that is specifically targeting the black community in Cleveland.  Van Laar cited local residents who took photos of the billboards.  Some doulas have called the campaign racist, with the outrage becoming loud enough that members of the city council have reached out to Preterm to have a conservation with their executive's leadership about the controversy.  The signs read, "abortion is good medicine" and "abortion is necessary."

Planned Parenthood kills 1,000 times as many blacks as cops do.  According to Black Genocide, Planned Parenthood situates 78 percent of its abortion clinics in minority neighborhoods.  It's almost as if Planned Parenthood is targeting black and brown babies.  And perhaps it is.  Margaret Sanger, the founder of PP, shockingly said, "Colored people are like human weeds and are to be exterminated."  She created the Negro Project to sterilize unwitting black women and others she considered undesirable.  Her motto was grotesque as well as Hitler-esque:  "More children from the fit, less from the unfit."

New York Times:  Spike the food supply with sterilization chemicals to cause global infertility and depopulation.  A November 4, 1969 New York Times feature article authored by Gladwin Hill called for sterilization chemicals to be added to the food supply in order to achieve globalist goals of human depopulation.  That article, entitled "A Sterility Drug in Food is Hinted" came with the byline, "Biologist Stresses Need to Curb Population Growth." [...] Most people living today — especially younger people — have no idea that a key agenda of globalism is the elimination of "undesirable" humans from the gene pool.  They believe that ideas of "eugenics" and genocide were only carried out by the Nazis, not by American university professors and presidential science advisors.  So they have no grasp of the context in which Planned Parenthood, for example, operates today as a depopulation engine to eliminate blacks from society.

Planned Parenthood CEO: Cutting DACA Is Cruel And Heartless "Every Person Has a Right to Live".  Cecile Richards is the President of Planned Parenthood, an organization that's popular because it a) kills babies b) wants you to pay for killing babies c) was founded by a woman who was actively involved with the KKK.  A Democrat, through and through.  Planned Parenthood was founded by Margaret Sanger, the KKK-loving woman mentioned earlier, and is now the number one provider of abortions in the United States.  In 2007, they made only 5,000 adoption referrals while aborting over 300,000 children.  Seventy-nine percent of their "clinics" are in neighborhoods mostly populated by minorities.  While only 13% of American women are black, black women make up 35% of abortions at Planned Parenthood.

Nick Cannon:  Planned Parenthood Founded To 'Exterminate' Black People.  Singer and TV personality Nick Cannon doubled down on his criticism of Planned Parenthood, saying the abortion provider was designed to "exterminate" black people.  "When you talked about Margaret Sanger, all the people who follow eugenics.  It was all about cleansing," the America's Got Talent host said of Planned Parenthood's founder in a recent interview with DJ Vlad.

People Who Hate Humanity.  While liberals talk a lot about racism they ignore the far greater threat of their own Anti-Human Movement (AHM). [...] The AHM's public solution for world poverty is preventing or killing unborn brown babies.  That's why a disproportionate amount of aid to Africa, for example, is for "family planning" as opposed to antibiotics.  But their real solution includes killing brown children.  Melinda Gates has stated that after a few drinks members of the AHM have questioned whether providing vaccines for brown people in Africa is a good thing, since the world is suffering from too many people.

Nick Cannon:  Planned Parenthood Is Committing A 'Real Genocide' Against Black Americans.  In an interview with "The Breakfast Club," a radio show in New York City, rapper Nick Cannon said Planned Parenthood is committing a genocide against black Americans.  "Hillary was sneaking and cheating," Cannon said.  "Think about all the stuff they did with Planned Parenthood and all that type of stuff.  That type of stuff is to take our community — and forget gentrification, it's real genocide, and it's been like that for years.  This system is not built for us."

Black Pastors:  If Black Lives Matter You Can't Vote for Pro-Abortion Hillary Clinton.  Two leading African-American pro-life pastors say black voters should rule out voting for pro-abortion presidential candidate Hillary Clinton.  Rev. Dr. Johnny Hunter says if black lives really matter then black voters will not vote for Hillary Clinton on the basis of her staunch support for unlimited abortions throughout pregnancy paid for at taxpayer expense.  He says Roe vs. Wade, which Clinton strongly supports and wants to keep in place for decades more, has resulted in the abortions of 20 million African American babies.  "Blacks are clearly targeted by this practice," Hunter says of abortion.

Black lives don't matter when Planned Parenthood is involved.  Most do not realize that Planned Parenthood was the outgrowth of Margaret Sanger's attempt to cleanse the American population of undesirables, especially blacks, whom she considered incapable of the type of "elevated" behavior of educated whites.  But, Margaret wanted to rid society of all manner of undesirables, not just blacks.  To her, the mentally disabled, the weak, the unmanageable hordes must also be cleansed.  This is why Planned Parenthood started in the inner cities, where the poor, disabled and minorities were most often encountered.  Yet, Hillary Clinton is still proud to accept the Margaret Sanger Award.  And, she accuses Trump of being a racist.

NFL Star Ben Watson:  Planned Parenthood Was Created to "Exterminate Blacks" and "It's Working".  Christian NFL player Ben Watson does not hesitate to call out Planned Parenthood's targeting of minority women and their babies for abortions.  In a recent interview with Turning Point Pregnancy Resource Center in San Diego, the Baltimore Ravens player talked about the racial divide in America and how it factors into the abortion issue.

NFL Player:  Planned Parenthood Was Created To Exterminate Black People.  Baltimore Ravens tight end Benjamin Watson made it very clear that he is anti-Planned Parenthood during an interview with Turning Point Friends.  Watson was asked about race and abortion, and he gave an incredibly blunt answer.

Pastor: Abortion Kills Three Times More Black Lives as Heart Disease, Cancer and Stroke.  Pastor Walter B. Hoye II wants to put into perspective the tragically high number of abortion deaths in the Black American community.  Abortion is a problem among every racial group, but it is particularly troubling in the Black community in America.  Hoye, president of Issues4Life Foundation, is a leading African American figure in the pro-life movement who works to end abortion through education and outreach, especially in the Black community.  Black Americans have a disproportionately high number of abortions compared to other racial groups.  According to census data, African Americans make up about 13 percent of the U.S. population but have about 30 percent of the abortions.  The problem is disturbingly evident in New York City, where state data shows more black babies are aborted than are born.

Blacks Killed by Abortion Since 1990 = 4.4 Million; 11% of U.S. Black Population.  The available data from the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) and Prevention show that the number of black Americans killed by abortion over the 22 years between 1990 and 2011 was 4.4 million, which is 11% of the U.S. black population, a figure that likely will not get much attention this February, Black History Month.

Colorblind America: A Malignant Fallacy.  [Scroll down]  Race also matters with abortion rates.  When black people are registering around 40% of the country's abortions and only around 12% of the population, there is an undeniable problem that colorblindness doesn't help to fix — especially when you consider Planned Parenthood founder Margaret Sanger's dream of wiping out black people and that a vast majority of Planned Parenthoods are — rather fortuitously — located in black neighborhoods.

Planned Parenthood's 'Vital' Work Means Killing Black Babies.  African-Americans make up 13.2 percent of the U.S. population, yet they account for 30 percent of all abortions.  A closer look at Planned Parenthood clinic locations reveals that the abortion provider tends to cluster its offices in low-income zip codes or areas that have a high minority population.  About 50 percent of Planned Parenthood's patients are enrolled in Medicaid.  To put that in context, about 1 in 5 people are enrolled in Medicaid nationwide, which means that most of the people who visit Planned Parenthood are these 20 percent who rely on federal funds to pay for their health care.  The disproportionate number of low-income patients and the high number of black abortions make it clear that Planned Parenthood deliberately targets for abortion the children of low-income, minority women.

Congressional Black Caucus Members Praise Planned Parenthood on the Hill.  At a tragically ironic press conference Monday afternoon [9/28/2015] on Capitol Hill, the Congressional Black Caucus praised the work of Planned Parenthood.  Joined by former Planned Parenthood patients, Reps. Gwen Moore (D-WI), Alma Adams (D-NC) and Donna Edwards (D-MD) defended the organization as vital to women's health.  Not of interest during their conversation, was the fact that Planned Parenthood Founder Margaret Sanger was a racist, nor the Center for Medical Progress investigation that has shocked Americans with its disturbing footage of employees joking about the sale of fetal body parts.  Nope, these concerns were of no consequence.  Rep. Adams seemed quite positive that the GOP attempt to defund Planned Parenthood was based off of a misogynistic agenda.

The Biggest Idiots in Politics: The #Blacklivesmatter Protesters.  [F]irst of all, despite the name, the group doesn't care about most #blacklives.  On average, 1,876 black babies are aborted PER DAY in the United States.  Many of those innocents are slaughtered via Planned Parenthood, an organization founded by a woman who wanted to use abortion to help control the population of black Americans because she believed they were inferior.  The #blacklivesmatter protesters don't care about those black lives.

Carson: Planned Parenthood Was Founded To Abort Black Babies.  [Dr. Ben] Carson isn't the first black man to argue that the true aim of Sanger's organization was to control the black population.  Last week, a group of eight black ministers penned a letter calling for the removal of all forms of Sanger's likeness from "all National Portrait Gallery exhibits."  "Ms. Sanger may have been a lot of things, but a 'champion of justice' she definitely was not," the ministers wrote.

Unrepentant Baby Killers of the Reactionary Left.  [1926] was the year that the founder of Planned Parenthood stopped by the women's branch of the KKK. This was the 1920s Klan which billed itself as a "progressive" organization invested in creating a "closer relationship between capital and labor".  An arm of the Democratic Party, some members of the KKK also belonged to the Socialist Party, much as Margaret Sanger, the speaker at the women's Klan branch had.  The Klan's political alliances with the Socialist Party in Oregon and Wisconsin had moved it closer to the left.  The KKK platform echoed that of the first Socialist Congressman Victor L. Berger who firmly stated, "If we are ever to have socialism in America and Canada, we must keep them white man's countries."

Ohio Dem Rep Patmon: Black Lives Matter 'Should Be In Front of Planned Parenthood'.  Ohio State Representative Bill Patmon (D) declared Black Lives Matter protesters "skipped one place, they should be in front of Planned Parenthood" at a rally at the Ohio Statehouse on Tuesday [7/28/2015].  In the speech, video of which was first posted to Dix News' and the Youngstown Vindicator's Statehouse Bureau Chief Marc Kovac's Capital Blog, Patmon states that his mother would have been a "prime candidate" for an abortion, but chose not to have one.

Abortionism and the Banality of Evil.  Black and Hispanic women in America are much more likely to have abortions than white women.  The racism of abortion is matched by the gender bias of abortions around the world.  So unborn baby girls are much more likely in nations like India and China to be killed in the womb than baby boys in those countries.  In some lands, newborn girls are simply shunted aside after birth to die of neglect.  The Nazis justified this selective murder by defining those they killed as "life unworthy of life."  It is not surprising, then, that the attitude of Abortionism toward inferior classes of humanity looked so much like the racial theories of Nazism.

For Planned Parenthood Black Livers Matter.  If you have ever witnessed one of those "spontaneous" pro-abortion demonstrations held in Washington whenever Congress contemplates curtailing taxpayer funding for Planned Parenthood, you may have noticed that there was something missing — African-American demonstrators.  This is odd, considering that black women are far more likely to have abortions than are their Caucasian counterparts.  And, examined in light of the now infamous video of a white Planned Parenthood official discussing how to crush a baby without damaging marketable livers and other organs, it is particularly ominous.  Why?  Because the terminated baby will probably have been black, and that is no coincidence

Abortion Killed 19 Times as Many Blacks as Murder.  For every black murder victim in 2011 there were 19 blacks killed by abortion, according to data from the FBI and the Centers for Disease Control (CDC).  2011 is the latest year for which the data is available.

Do Black Lives Really Matter to Liberals?  Surprisingly, the same liberals who say they are concerned about the tiny percentage of blacks killed by police not only don't care about the mass elimination of blacks in the womb, but they in fact work constantly to protect those who slaughter blacks.  Eighty percent of abortion facilities are in minority neighborhoods, and blacks are three times as likely to kill their unborn child as whites are.  If black lives mattered to liberals, they'd be up in arms over this racist effort by organizations like Planned Parenthood.  Instead, the same folks who are ignoring the facts of the Ferguson case and imputing nonexistent racism to the Garner case tend to be strong and proud supporters of Planned Parenthood and other pro-abortion organizations that target blacks.

NYC: 78% of Abortions Were Black and Hispanic Babies.  The Abortion Surveillance report published by the CDC, for which the latest abortion numbers are for 2011, show there were 76,251 abortions in New York City that year.  For that total, 9,550 abortions were of white babies, which is 12.5% of the total; 35,188 babies were black (46.1% of total); 23,959 were Hispanic (31.4%); and another 7,554 "other" abortions, 9.9%, which includes Asians and Native Americans, as well as those babies not reported by race.  Abortions of black and Hispanic babies combined totaled 59,147 — that is 77.56% of the total abortions in NYC.

Black Genocide And The Black Leaders Who Support It.  This weekend, the Congressional Black Caucus (CBC) is proudly hosting an event with Planned Parenthood on Capitol Hill. BET Networks is sponsoring the issue forum on "reproductive freedom".  The nation's largest abortion chain, never missing an opportunity to target the black community, is addressing how the Hobby Lobby decision will impact — you got it — black women.  The Hobby Lobby decision does nothing to reduce anyone's access to birth control.  The Supreme Court decision ruled that a closely held corporation cannot be forced to pay for an employee's abortifacients, including Plan B, Ella, and hormonal and copper IUDs.  The lawsuit never opposed the other 16 forms of contraception, and the ruling doesn't touch those.  But this weekend's conference isn't about birth control, but spin control with a racial twist.

Obama program aims to reduce 'births' among blacks, Latinos.  President Barack Obama is attempting to lower the rate of "births" — and separately, pregnancies — among blacks and Latinos.  The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention lists reducing "births" as one of the top goals of Obama's "Teen Pregnancy Prevention Initiative."  The language on the CDC's website makes clear that the program seeks to reduce the rate of both pregnancies and "births" among minorities.

Progressive Insurance.  No one asks Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg to step down from the Supreme Court; but in a quite frightening remark, she quipped that she was surprised about the uproar over abortion:  "Frankly I had thought that at the time Roe was decided, there was concern about population growth and particularly growth in populations that we don't want to have too many of."  Frankly, that seemed a savage thing to say, especially given the inordinate percentages of abortions among minorities and the poor.

KKK Lynched 3,446 Blacks in 86 Years — Abortion Claims That Many Black Babies in 'Less Than Four Days'.  Over 86 years, the Ku Klux Klan lynched 3,446 blacks — a figure matched in less than four days if tallying the number of black babies who are aborted.  Walter Hoye, founder and president of the Issues4Life Foundation, shared those statistics at a press conference on Tuesday where black clergy and other leaders gathered in response to the guilty verdict in the trial of abortionist Kermit Gosnell, who was convicted of murdering three newborn babies.

Why Was Kermit Gosnell's Abortion Clinic Given A Pass By Oversight Agencies?  [Scroll down]  You see, I know from personal experience that the state has not only the ability but the resources to badger medical practices unceasingly, over minutiae.  The reason they closed their eyes to Gosnell's horrors was the color of the babies he was murdering.  Abortion is not only lucrative and a necessity to a culture dedicated to sexual liberation, but it is also used by racists to eliminate children of color.  The holocaust of abortion disproportionately affects black and Hispanic women and children.  A simple glance at New York City's abortion rates, for example, show that 60 percent of black babies do not make it past the womb, nearly 20 percent higher than the rate for white babies.  That is systematic population reduction.

Planned Parenthood Targets Black Women.  According to the Centers for Disease Control, blacks accounted for 35.4 percent of abortions performed in 2009, despite representing, according to the 2010 census, just 13.6 percent of the US population.  Let's not be deluded that this is an accident.

Pro-lifers call abortion doctor a murderous racist.  Kermit Gosnell, the former Philadelphia abortion doctor on trial for allegedly killing seven viable babies and a woman who died after a botched abortion, was slammed by pro-life activists Thursday[4/4/2013] as a racist against his own black community, and as its "angel of death" for becoming rich from aborting primarily black babies.

Black anti-abortion groups call Gosnell "racist of the worst kind".  The leaders of two black anti-abortion groups today [4/4/2013] denounced West Philadelphia abortion doctor Kermit Gosnell as a "racist of the worst kind" and a "butcher who preyed on the women and girls of his own race."

Susan G. Komen [...] organization faces nationwide race cancellations and flagging donations.  While the country's largest breast cancer charity, Susan G. Komen, announced it was cancelling half its 3-day races nationwide next year, CEO Nancy Brinker's compensation package has increased considerably in the past two years.  And at $684,000, the pay itself is enough to raise eyebrows, not to mention Brinker's 2012 announcement she would be stepping down as Komen CEO.

Komen Forced to Drop Fundraising Events in Seven Cities.  In early 2012, after the breast cancer charity Komen for the Cure announced it would end its relationship with Planned Parenthood, the group quickly saw a 100 percent spike in fundraising.  But alas, defenders of the nation's largest abortion provider and their accomplices in the liberal media, chief among them MSNBC's Andrea Mitchell, struck back with a vengeance and the group eventually reversed itself under intense pressure from the Left.  Ever since the epic Komen cave, however, the organization has seen faltering fundraising.

Komen cancels 3-Day walk in District, six other cities in 2014.  The Susan G. Komen foundation canceled its signature 3-Day walk in Washington and six other cities next year, slashing the number of the fundraising events by half, as participation continues to drop more than a year after a funding controversy involving Planned Parenthood.  Komen called its decision to pull out of the event one that "was not made lightly, as this bold and empowering event has touched the lives of thousands of participants."
