On Friday, three well-known charities — the American Red Cross, the Salvation Army and Susan G. Komen — announced they are canceling plans for fundraising events at President Trump's Palm Beach country club, Mar-a-Lago.

Parents and pro-life advocates urged a Pennsylvania school board Wednesday to reject a proposal to put a Planned Parenthood-run facility inside Reading High School. The Reading Eagle reports the facility would not do abortions at the high school, but Planned Parenthood staffers would offer students sex education, counseling about reproductive health and referrals to their abortion facility in Reading. Pro-lifers with Students for Life, the Pennsylvania Family Institute and others have been joining local parents to protest the proposal in the past few months. On June 21, about 80 pro-life advocates stood outside the Reading School District to urge the...

A group of artists in Colorado are working on special “reproductive health”-themed art – including a tampon chandelier – to raise money for the abortion chain Planned Parenthood. Women’s Caucus for Art Colorado member Linda Gleitz told the Daily Camera that she is passionate about supporting Planned Parenthood. She is helping to organize the art fundraiser for the abortion business. Gleitz said artists from her group are making a variety of pieces to sell, many of them donating 100 percent of their profits to the abortion chain. The fundraiser also will include a poetry reading and music. “We do have...

It is a rich if tragic irony that the same progressives denouncing Richard Spencer and demanding that municipal statues be torn down for their alleged white supremacist qualities are themselves closely aligned with a white supremacist-tied group. I am speaking, of course, of Planned Parenthood, which is to the abortion-loving Left what Adolf Hitler’s bunker would have become to fascists had Germany not demolished it in the late 1980s: a sort of holy shrine upon which adulation and adoration can be fixated. The racist, eugenicist roots of Planned Parenthood are well-documented, as is the paranoid racial and eugenic visions of...

Two of the Senators who singlehandedly derailed the skinny repeal of Obamacare were awarded a sit down interview with the admiring Dana Bash Friday on CNN.

Two of the senators who singlehandedly derailed the skinny repeal of Obamacare were awarded a sit down interview with the admiring Dana Bash Friday on CNN. The bright faced journalist applauded Sens. Susan Collins (ME) and Lisa Murkowski (AK) for having the “cajones” to vote against the Republican bill when they knew half the country would view them as heretics. Collins admitted it was an “uncomfortable” vote. But, they both insisted it was the right thing to do, which is why they did not fear backlash from GOP leadership, or even intimidating tweets from the Oval Office. Both women said...

Planned Parenthood Is Teaching Preschoolers: ‘Genitals Don’t Make You a Boy or Girl

Planned Parenthood’s new guidelines concerning preschoolers and gender identity instruct parents to teach, “Your genitals don’t make you a boy or a girl.” The taxpayer-funded abortion vendor, which also receives federal grants for providing sex education in public schools, tells parents of young children how to handle their curiosity about their genitals and why boys’ genitals are different from those of girls: {..snip..}

Apparently children as young as 4 are not too young to be told that gender and sex are different and that their genitals don't indicate their gender, according to new Planned Parenthood guidelines for parents. On a page of its website titled “How do I talk with my preschooler about their body?” the abortion provider says if a child inquires why boys and girls have different bodies, a parent should introduce the concept of transgender identity. “While the most simple answer is that girls have vulvas and boys have penises/testicles, that answer isn’t true for every boy and girl,” the organization...

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. According to a statement on the group’s Facebook page, they believe that Northam will work to protect “every woman’s right to make the best choices for herself and her family.” The group plans to knock on approximately 300,000 doors and send mail to...

The breakdown of American social norms is advancing at a lightning pace. Just five years ago if you were told a woman doesn’t necessarily have a vagina, and may instead have a penis, you might have called that insanity. Today, you’re a hateful bigot if you don’t subscribe to this kind of thinking. Not only are adults being told this, but children are also being taught this in schools. Parents are receiving guidance from Planned Parenthood and other liberal bastions on how to talk to preschoolers about transgenderism and masturbation. Yes, you read that right: preschoolers. The Daily Wire reported...

Real talk: 35% of women are uncomfortable saying the word vagina. It’s time to stop the shame and start the conversation. We officially challenge you to fight the stigma around women’s health—by using the word ‘vagina’ proudly, without shame. For every #VaginaChallenge video shared, Vagisil will donate $5 (to a max of $25,000) to support access to women’s wellness programs.

It looks like Planned Parenthood won't be defunded and Obamacare won't be repealed thanks to three Republican senators. Republicans failed to rally enough senators to vote for the Better Care Reconciliation Act, which would repeal and replace Obamacare. Then, Majority Leader Sen. Mitch McConnell, R-Kentucky, announced the Senate would instead only vote on repealing the pro-abortion healthcare law. The bill repealing Obamacare would also defund Planned Parenthood for one year. Three Republican senators, Shelley Moore Capito of West Virginia, Lisa Murkowski of Alaska, and Susan Collins of Maine, have all said they'd vote against the bill. This means McConnell doesn't...

Yesterday 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. “Criminal defense counsel … do not get to decide whether they can violate the preliminary injunction,” Orrick said Tuesday in court. Daleiden’s criminal defense attorneys argued that the videos are...

Study: Lege's family planning cuts led to an increase in abortionWith the goal of eliminating abortion, Texas Republicans have stripped Planned Parenthood of funding and steadily obstructed patient access to care over the past few years. Turns out, their ideological, anti-choice crusade is having the opposite effect. A new study shows abortion rates have jumped since Planned Parenthood was blocked.While at Texas A&M University, economics professor Analisa Packham found that when the Texas Legislature cut family planning funding by two-thirds, or $76 million, in 2011 and simultaneously defunded Planned Parenthood, teen abortions increased 3.1% in the following three years while...

A political activist group known as The Satanic Temple have been hitting the front pages recently as they have just received permission to erect a “Satanic Statue” in a public place. A deeper look into the group shows that they are actually all about political activism; which is not a bad thing, but their ideas are flawed and somewhat idiotic. Here’s a video of their latest “Support Theater” for Planned Parenthood: One of the Satanic Temple leaders says: (we) employ radical political theater to draw attention to the absurdity of the pro-life movement.” Now regardless of your stand on abortion,...

A new People Magazine feature about Planned Parenthood subtly hints that the abortion chain and its leader, Cecile Richards, are as American as apple pie. For many Americans, killing unborn babies in abortions is one of the most reprehensible practices in our country today. But the entertainment magazine painted Richards as a heroine, describing her as “wonder woman” and allowing her to spout her pro-abortion politics. The propaganda piece featured a smiling photo of the abortion activist in her Manhattan apartment, baking a cherry pie as she talked about her three living children and the fourth who she aborted. Of...

Truth should be a slam-dunk. Yet activists that support and defend Planned Parenthood just keep blocking the facts. The WNBA’s Seattle Storm co-owner, Dawn Trudeau, is taking pride in being the first sports team to partner with the nation’s leading abortion business. The team is donating $5 from every ticket sold for their upcoming July 18th game. Oh, the irony of female players and owners celebrating an organization from which they were spared.Trudeau claims that “the league leadership is very socially conscious”. Sadly, that doesn’t translate into being informationally conscious. Trudeau told Politico recently: “It is pretty clear that people...

Failed presidential candidate and former first lady Hillary Clinton has never kept her love of the country’s largest abortion provider a secret, but Tuesday she went a step further and tweeted a photo of herself modeling a “nasty woman” shirt to raise funds for Planned Parenthood. Hillary Clinton is pictured holding up the $25 t-shirt with the caption, “Support Samantha Bee & Planned Parenthood & buy a Nasty Woman t-shirt!” The item from the Full Frontal with Samantha Bee merchandise line comes from the phrase “such a nasty woman,” that President Trump said during the third presidential debate last year...

If there’s one thing Lena Dunham takes as seriously as her acting, writing, and directing career, her undying love for Lisa Simpson, or being an advocate for ladies everywhere attempting to regrow their sparse, patchy eyebrows, it’s undoubtedly her passion for women’s rights and equality, a cause she has become increasingly vocal about since the last presidential election. So when the Girls star decided it was time to purge her wardrobe, it makes sense that she would want to do so for a good cause, teaming up with Planned Parenthood to make sure that new dress you buy straight out...
