NEW YORK, May 16, 2017 (LifeSiteNews) – Three members of the Kardashian media enterprise visited the Los Angeles headquarters of Planned Parenthood last week, apparently offering their assistance to the abortion chain. And the visit received a “huge bravo” from the women hosts of The View television program. Kim, Khloe and Kourtney Kardashian stopped by Planned Parenthood Los Angeles on Thursday, according to several news outlets, and the women praised the abortion giant on social media. Much of the coverage suggests the reality TV personalities are getting political, with one report indicating they plan to work with Planned Parenthood in...

Planned Parenthood said on Thursday it would shutter four of its 12 clinics in Iowa as a result of a measure backed by Republican Governor Terry Branstad that blocks public money for family planning services to abortion providers. Health centers in Burlington, Keokuk and Sioux City will close on June 30 and one in Quad Cities soon after as a result of losing $2 million in funds under the new measure, said Susan Allen, a spokeswoman for Planned Parenthood of the Heartland. The four clinics served 14,676 patients in the last three years, she said, including many rural and poor...

Former talk show host Rosie O’Donnell has been quite vocal on Twitter about her dislike of President Trump. However, one of her latest tweets about how she plans on “taking the country back” has got people scratching their heads. Check it out here: Boy, is that a lot to unpack. Let’s start from the beginning. Click here to sign up for pro-life news alerts from LifeNews.com “WHEN TRUMP GOES” Well, this seems like more of an “if” rather than a “when,” but Trump will definitely be out of office by either 2020 or 2024. Unfortunately, I don’t think that’s what...

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) -- Ten people were arrested Saturday morning for blocking the entrance to a Louisville abortion clinic. Early Saturday morning a crowd of about 100 people demonstrated in front of the EMW Women's Clinic in Louisville. Facebook video taken by a pro-life supporter shows a large police presence and numerous people being arrested outside the only remaining clinic that performs abortions in Kentucky. The event was organized by Operation Save America. The ten people arrested by police include Laura Buck of Indiana, Eva Edl of South Carolina, Eva Zastrow of Arkansas, David Graves of Washington State, Thomas Raddell...

In the midst of a colossal national scandal that may eventually rival Watergate, it’s a painful thought exercise: Imagine if Hillary Clinton had won. It’s tempting for Clinton voters to imagine a rosy alternate universe where she and her all-woman Cabinet put on their pantsuits and make swift progress on the country’s most pressing issues. In reality though, a Clinton presidency often would have been excruciating — especially for Clinton’s most ardent supporters. Donald Trump surely would be crowing about voter fraud and a rigged system — the guy won, and even so, this week he ordered an investigation into...

Oklahoma House of Representatives passed a resolution on May 8 declaring abortion to be murder and directing “every public official” in the state to use their authority “to stop the murder of innocent children by abortion.” The resolution does not have the force of law but it does reflect the policy view of the Oklahoma House, which has 101 members — 74 Republicans, 26 Democrats, and 1 vacancy. The resolution, HR 1004, passed by voice vote, and was introduced by Rep. Chuck Strohm, R-Jenks. The resolution, in part, states that “all human life is protected by God’s law and the...

Since Mother’s Day of 2004, a First Amendment religious display of wooden crosses representing the deaths of aborted children has been faithfully displayed each day during business hours outside a Wichita abortion facility. Over the years, the display withstood numerous attacks – both physical and legal. On April 28, 2017, that all changed. That’s when the City of Wichita began enforcing a new sign ordinance that prohibits stand-alone signage on the public right of ways. Mark Gietzen, Chairman of the Kansas Coalition for Life, owns the cross display along with other pro-life signs that have been regularly displayed for years...

DOWNINGTOWN >> He decided he’s done. Downingtown STEM Academy administrator Zachary Ruff, who became involved in a heated exchange during an anti-abortion protest last month conducted by two teens outside the nationally ranked school, has resigned. Ruff, dean of student life and academics, resigned to the Downingtown Area School Board members on Thursday afternoon, according to district officials. “Dr. Ruff, the school board, administration and all members of the Downingtown Area School District would like to put this terribly unfortunate incident in the past to enable everyone to move forward,” the statement from the district reads in part.

FULL TITLE: Gloria Steinem Backs Abortion Because: “Forced Childbirth is the Single Biggest Cause of Global Warming” According to radical feminist Gloria Steinem, women will never be “fully equal” to men unless they have abortion rights. Oh, and the patriarchy’s to blame for climate change too. In an interview with Refinery29 writer Lindsey Stanberry, Steinem shared thoughts on feminism, and unsurprisingly, everything came back to female reproductive rights. When the writer commented that some considered climate change to be a feminist issue, Steinem avidly agreed, opining that forced childbirth was the cause of many of the earth’s problems. “Listen, what...

It sure is easy to get confused these days. One moment #Resistance against offensive politics and policies is brave. Bold. Daring. The next? “That is crazy talk.” At least that’s the charge leveled when conservatives resist liberal policies, such as when the archbishop of Kansas City, Joseph Naumann, announced last week that the Archdiocese had decided to end its relationship with the Girl Scouts of America. As he put it: To follow Jesus and his Gospel will often require us to be counter-cultural. With the promotion by Girl Scouts USA (GSUSA) of programs and materials reflective of many of the...

Actress and political activist Lena Dunham is praising abortionist Dr. Willie Parker – who says his Christian “calling” is to perform abortions for poor women – as “the pro-choice hero we need.” Writing at Lenny, a weekly online feminist newsletter created by Dunham and Jennifer Konner, Dunham reviews Parker’s new book, Life’s Work: A Moral Argument for Choice, in which the abortionist describes his journey from being a faith-filled anti-abortion OB/GYN, to – as Dunham describes – “being the person who did the terminating.” “I have been amazed by Dr. Parker’s work: his heroism in comforting women who are, like...

FULL TITLE: Bag Carrying Remains of Aborted Babies Fell Off a Garbage Truck, Witness Saw “Arms and Legs Flung Apart” The wonders of the Internet and saved stories hidden away on your hard drive. I was researching my response to yet another puff piece hailing abortionist Willie Parker when I read across a column I read a year or two ago. It was by Ross Douthat, a columnist for the New York Times, and the title of his superb piece was “Looking Away From Abortion.” Bless his heart, Mr. Douthat began his column with an excerpt from an essay that...

Democrats again fell just short in a closely-watched election as Heath Mello lost the Omaha mayoral race on Tuesday after a fierce debate within the national party over his anti-abortion views. His loss was a setback for supporters who argued that the Democratic National Committee and abortion rights groups were wrong to attack the anti-abortion former state senator. It was also another near miss for Democrats fighting in typically Republican territory since Donald Trump’s presidential election victory. Democrats lost a special election for a House seat in Kansas and narrowly missed an outright win in a special election in Georgia....

I have blogged about this issue before. I have made it the subject of countless tweets. In bars and at Christmas parties I have shouted till I was blue in the face trying to explain it. I have even written a play—actually, two plays—in an attempt to draw out the seemingly latent connection between the liberal obsession with genitals—gay marriage, abortion, and so on—and their view of economic prosperity. Sooner or later my work is going to start taking a toll on my health and sanity. Thank goodness our paper of record is here to come to the rescue and...

New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman (D) warned Congress on Friday that he would file a lawsuit to protect abortion rights if the Senate passes the House GOP's healthcare bill. In an interview with CNN's Erin Burnett, Schneiderman attacked the bill, called the American Health Care Act, as "bad public policy." "It doesn't protect people with pre-existing conditions, it will cost millions of people healthcare," he said. Schneiderman said that the bill in its current form is unconstitutional due to attacks on "prohibited state funding." "In a tricky way, [it] tries to wipe out Planned Parenthood," he said. "It's an...

To the list of culprits allegedly responsible for the 2016 election results—Russians, Wikileaks, Comey, misogyny—House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif) added pro-lifers. "We're kind of between a rock and a hard place on the abortion issue," Pelosi complained. "On the one hand, do we stand by progressive values and support a woman's inalienable right to terminate a pregnancy? Or do we take the politically expedient course of waffling on it? Many Democrats, including me, have successfully straddled the issue by proclaiming our personal opposition to abortion while still supporting it as a matter of public policy. I mean, I've never...

FULL TITLE: Democrat Congresswoman Slams Trump as “Disgusting, Poor Excuse Of A Man” at Rally Celebrating Abortion At a gala event held by EMILY’s List, Rep. Maxine Waters (D-CA) went on another tirade against President Trump. This time she got downright personal, calling him a “disgusting, poor excuse of a man” (via The Hill): We must take our anger, our pain, our collective strength to right this wrong, to resist this tyranny and to save our democracy from a man whose immoral character and distorted thinking are an imminent threat to our nation,” she said.Waters called Trump a “disgusting, poor...

Freedom From Truth: FFRF is beyond all reason by Daniel Clark “Our purpose is to protect the constitutional principle of separation between state and church,” At least that’s what Freedom From Religion Foundation Co-President Annie Laurie Gaylor wrote in a thinly veiled threat to the Allegheny County Council, to dissuade it from installing a plaque in the county courthouse that says “In God We Trust.” That principle, like everything else the FFRF stands for, is a lie. If Gaylor and friends can point to anything in the U.S. Constitution that prohibits a Pittsburgh courthouse from acknowledging God, this particular resident...

A company in Australia is facing scrutiny from conservatives after a Wednesday article revealed that they were turning unused embryos from in-vitro fertilization into “sacred art.” The Australian parenting blog Kidspot highlighted Baby Bee Hummingbirds, an enterprise started by Amy McGlade in 2014. McGlade’s company reportedly has made “over 4000 pieces of jewelry using breastmilk, placenta, hair, ashes, or cord stumps – including 50 made with embryos.”

This is why we must defund #PlannedParenthood!
