Pennsylvania Democrat, John Fetterman, is holding a campaign event on Sunday, September 11, though not to commemorate the anniversary of the terrorist attacks. Instead, the Senate hopeful is holding a pro-abortion rally alongside an activist who supports the movement to defund police. The "Women for Fetterman" event is aimed at showcasing the candidate's support for "reproductive freedom" in the wake of the Supreme Court decision to overturn Roe v. Wade. Fetterman, who has said he does not support any limits on abortion, will appear with female lawmakers and Planned Parenthood president Alexis McGill Johnson. The pro-abortion group has said it...

The ex-wife of Amazon founder Jeff Bezos just donated a record $275 million to the abortion giant Planned Parenthood. AFP reports Mackenzie Scott, whose fortune primarily comes from Amazon, donated the largest one-time gift from a single donor in the history of the billion-dollar abortion chain. “As always our aim has been to support the needs of underrepresented people from groups of all kinds,” Scott wrote Wednesday in a blog post about her charitable giving. “The cause of equity has no sides.” Scott, who is worth about $49 billion, said she donated more than $3.8 billion to nearly 500 organizations...

Left-wing feminist groups such as Planned Parenthood, NARAL, Times Up, and Emily’s List have sent urgent notices to media outlets, warning them that Joe Biden’s female running mate is likely to be subjected to “sexist” and “racist” attacks. “A woman VP candidate, possibly a Black or Brown woman candidate, requires the same kind of internal consideration about systemic inequality as you undertook earlier this year,” the abortion rights supporters wrote to media heads, as NBC News reported. The coalition leaders include Obama adviser Valerie Jarrett, NARAL President Ilyse Hogue, Planned Parenthood CEO Alexis McGill Johnson, Former Planned Parenthood CEO Cecile...

The nation’s largest abortion provider regularly claims that it provides “life-saving” services while highlighting “pro-life” abortionists. But as it continues toying with double entendres, Planned Parenthood’s language appears less as a mere coincidence and more as a blatant mockery of the pro-life movement. The latest example came on June 15, when Planned Parenthood Action Fund, the abortion giant’s political arm, announced its endorsement of presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden as he challenges President Trump in the upcoming election. According to Planned Parenthood’s acting president, the November election will be a matter of “life and death.” Speaking with NPR, Alexis McGill...

In the span of just a few days during the COVID-19 pandemic, abortion went from being banned in Texas, to allowed again, to banned yet again. Initially, a federal judge ruled that abortion businesses would be allowed to continue committing abortions, but an appeals court overturned that ruling just a day later. “The temporary stay ordered this afternoon justly prioritizes supplies and personal protective equipment for the medical professionals in need,” Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton responded in a statement. Texas Governor Greg Abbott had previously issued an executive order banning all medically unnecessary surgeries and procedures including abortion. But...

After being on the job for only nine months, CEO Leana Wen was abruptly fired this week. While Len claims to have been "blind sided" by the move, Planned Parenthood spokesperson Adora Slaughter insisted the firing "should not have been a surprise. The number of abortions we've performed has gone down on her watch. Several states have enacted severe restrictions on abortions performed after a fetal heartbeat is detected. The final straw was Wen's assertion that only women can get pregnant and have abortions. This effectively undermines our opportunity to make up for lost business by performing abortions on trans-gender...

The number of women seeking post-abortion counselling at the largest dedicated sexual health clinic in Cork more than doubled last year compared with 2017, according to its annual report. The Sexual Health Centre, which has operated in the city for more than 30 years, provided 157 sessions of post-termination counselling last year, compared with 77 in the previous year. Some of those coming for counselling had abortions up to 20 years ago, said director of services Catherine Kennedy. “For us there were a number of things happening last year where people really opened up a lot more about crisis pregnancies,...

Encouraged by the "courageous and visionary leadership of Governors Andrew Cuomo (D-NY) and Ralph Northam (D-Virginia)" Planned Parenthood (PP) announced a major push for similar legislation in every state. PP spokesperson Adora Slaughter said "decisive action at the state level is needed to counter the possibility that the next Trump appointee to the Supreme Court tips the balance in favor of undesirable revisions or 'clarifications' of the 1973 Roe v. Wade ruling. As we saw from Trump's State of the Union speech, he is not averse to using lurid language denigrating the medically necessary dismemberment of what he called 'beautiful...

Planned Parenthood abortion business CEO Leanna Wen has been fired after just 10 months on the job. The abortion corporation wants a more aggressively pro-abortion activist as its leader as it heads into the crucial 2020 presidential election. According to the New York Times, the Planned Parenthood board engaged in “hours of negotiations”and ultimately canned Wen, citing the need for a “more aggressive political leader.” Alexis McGill Johnson has been named as interim president of its political arm Planned Parenthood Action Fund. “I am proud to step in to serve as acting president and facilitate a smooth leadership transition in...
