An online news group has released a series of video that they say are undercover tapes recorded by The Center for Medical Progress. The footage appears to show top-level abortion industry executives discussing their baby parts harvesting trade. Got News, the group that released the tapes, say they “obtained all of the videos from a source on Capitol Hill.” Video footage seen here says it was obtained from a “National Abortion Foundation’s annual meeting in San Francisco, CA on April 7th, 2014.” We do not know of a group called the National Abortion Foundation and believe this description is a...

AUSTIN, Texas (Reuters) - Texas officials raided several Planned Parenthood facilities on Thursday, the group said, in a move that comes days after the state's Republicans leaders barred the women's health group from receiving state Medicaid money. The raids were carried out at Planned Parenthood health centers in Houston, Dallas and San Antonio by representatives from the Texas Office of the Inspector General.

SAN ANTONIO — State health investigators on Thursday served subpoenas for records at Planned Parenthood offices in San Antonio, Dallas and Houston, according to two people with knowledge of the investigation but who are not authorized to speak publicly about it. The investigators were seeking a wide range of information, from patient records to employee home addresses, involving Planned Parenthood facilities across the state, said Sarah Wheat, an organization official in Austin. “The breadth and depth of what was requested this morning was unprecedented,” Wheat said. “Today’s visits were clearly politically motivated. We’re all pretty surprised by how far the...

Inspectors from the Office of the Investigator General from the state of Texas just descended on several Planned Parenthood clinics! I have been waiting for this day!!!! It's showtime!!!

In an exclusive interview with The Brody File, Ted Cruz says he’s the only republican presidential candidate that’s been, “walking the walk.” What about his rivals? “The other candidates have not,” Cruz tells The Brody File. Cruz points to the fight over Planned Parenthood, which he says he led, and others just talked a good game. “I was proud to lead that fight and it was striking that out of the other 10 fine men and women standing on that debate stage not a one of them was anywhere to be found. It was almost like they were in the...

HARRISBURG, PA, October 21, 2015 (LifeSiteNews) – Planned Parenthood officials tried to prevent the mainstream media from covering a series of undercover videos that reveal the abortion giant receives compensation for providing medical researchers with the body parts and tissue of aborted babies, a newly released e-mail confirms. A Planned Parenthood official also provided talking points to her state's Democratic governor about how to respond if the issue came up, the documents reveal. The story of the Center for Medical Progress' undercover videos "has not reached mainstream media yet; we are trying to keep it that way," Sari Stevens, a...

Tom Wolf, the Democratic governor of Pennsylvania, received "talking points" from a Planned Parenthood official on how he should react to the series of undercover videos that show employees of the women's healthcare provider discussing the methods by which they sell aborted fetal tissue to biomedical companies. In a report this week, the Tribune-Review said it obtained emails from the Wolf administration that Sari Stevens, executive director of Planned Parenthood's political arm in Pennsylvania, sent to Wolf's office on multiple occasions to impart advice. In one case, she sent "talking points" on the Planned Parenthood videos advising that the story...

Planned Parenthood applauded Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump on Tuesday following his most recent comments about the group, saying to cut off federal funding is just one of several “extreme positions that are way too far outside the mainstream for even him to take.”On Monday, Trump told CNN’s Chris Cuomo that before defunding Planned Parenthood, he would “look at the good aspects” of the organization if he were elected president, but referred to the group as an “abortion factory.” “The biggest problem I have with Planned Planned is the abortion situation,” the real estate mogul told Cuomo. “I mean, it’s...

So-called “progressives” love moving forward with their reconstructed versions of history. The taxpayer-funded Smithsonian National Portrait Gallery is supposed to be a place that reveres history, not revises it. That hasn’t stopped the institution from presenting to the public a false presentation of the founder of Planned Parenthood, Margaret Sanger. The bust, prominently and ironically displayed in the NPG’s “Struggle For Justice” exhibit, was provided by the late Cordelia Scaife May. She was a very wealthy population control activist who “supported conservation and Planned Parenthood among other causes” according to her obituary in the Pittsburgh Post Gazette. May founded the...

“As president I’d end Common Core. Common Core is a disaster. Bush is totally in favor of Common Core…Education has to be local,” says front runner Donald Trump who continues to get bashed by the establishment and its propagandists, the “Mainstream” Media. The candidate continues to hit all of the right chords as he explains the repertoire of issues important to Conservative Americans. The father of five and soon to be grandfather of eight, Trump each day is becoming one of history’s warrior heroes who fight to keep their fellow countrymen from becoming extinct. While Homer’s Odysseus used truncheons, Trump...

BORENO — An animal charity that rescues orangutans in Borneo has released heartbreaking footage of a baby orangutan that was dumped in a filthy cardboard box and left out in a backyard in the sun to die.The baby, who has been named Gito by the team from International Animal Rescue (IAR) who saved him, was so lifeless when they reached him that at first they thought he was dead. He was lying corpse-like with his arms folded across his chest and this, along with a lack of hair and grey flaking skin, made him look almost mummified in his cardboard...

Encourages states to follow Texas’ lead WASHINGTON, D.C. — U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) today released the following statement praising the Texas Health and Human Services Commission’s decision to drop Planned Parenthood from the state’s Medicaid program:“Today, my home state of Texas proved that states can make a real difference in the fight to block taxpayer funding for Planned Parenthood,” Sen. Cruz said. “I’m proud of Texas for leading the way in affirming the sanctity of life, and I thank Gov. Abbott for his principled commitment to protecting the lives of unborn children. I encourage every state to follow Texas’...

The long-running feud between Jeb Bush and Donald Trump escalated yet again Saturday, with the former Florida governor releasing a two-minute video on social media mocking the billionaire's fitness to be commander-in-chief. *snip* The clip is the latest salvo in the Bush-Trump rivalry, which has often been marked by bitter and personal exchanges between the two prominent Republican presidential candidates. On Friday, Trump suggested Bush's brother, former President George W. Bush, shared in the blame for the 9/11 terrorist attacks because they occurred during his presidency. Saturday's round centered on a video set to the tune of circus music that...

Conservatives, Christian and non-Christian alike, share concerns about · civil and religious liberty, · abortion and the sanctity of human life, · human trafficking and pornography and how they damage families, · fiscal responsibility in government, and · poverty. What many don’t know is that there are links between climate alarmism and every one of these issues. Let me take them in reverse order. First, climate alarmism undermines fiscal responsibility in government. Not only do governments around the world spend nearly $1 billion per day just on research into climate change, but also policies meant to reduce global warming would...

A law professor at Jesuit-run Fordham University in New York is appealing for an end to the institution of marriage in America, which he describes as “religious, gendered, and bourgeois.” Ethan J. Leib published his essay in the Fordham Law Review. The article, titled “Hail Marriage and Farewell,” says Leib was “elated” when the U.S. Supreme Court made same-sex marriage the law of the land on June 26, 2015, a ruling he described as “a victory for rights, for open-mindedness, for love, and for the future.” The decision, in fact, made him feel, at least for a moment, as if...

President Obama's weekly remarks Hi, everybody. Thirty years ago, there were 500,000 people behind bars in America. Today, there are 2.2 million. The United States is home to 5 percent of the world’s population, but 25 percent of the world’s prisoners. Every year, we spend $80 billion to keep people locked up. Now, many of the folks in prison absolutely belong there — our streets are safer thanks to the brave police officers and dedicated prosecutors who put violent criminals behind bars. But over the last few decades, we’ve also locked up more non-violent offenders than ever before, for longer...

Doctor, Doctor, will I die? Yes, my child, And so shall I. —Anonymous rhyme Forgive me for withdrawing from the outrage over recent videos released by the Center for Medical Progress. Don’t think I am not repulsed by them. Absolutely, I am. But what inhibits me from declaring my own revulsion is a disquieting belief that whether Planned Parenthood is defunded elides the true issue. Our righteous censure attends mainly to the symptoms of a disease we are loathe to cure.That hidden root disorder is our denial of mortality. Modern technical prowess drives the defiance with a welcome roster of...

in·fan·ti·cide noun 1. the crime of killing a child within a year of birth.   2. a person who kills an infant, especially their own child.     Many in our country would argue that life in the womb of an animal is much more valuable than that of a human.   Let’s begin with some statements from the heart of Planned Parenthood founder, Margaret Sanger.   "The most merciful thing that a large family does to one of its infant members is to kill it." Margaret Sanger, Women and the New Race;(Eugenics Publ. Co., 1920, 1923)   On blacks, immigrants and...

Twenty-six Republicans, led by presidential candidate Ted Cruz and Rep. Louie Gohmert, have called on the Smithsonian Institution to immediately remove a bust of Planned Parenthood founder Margaret Sanger, saying that honoring her "is an outrage." "Ms. Sanger was an avowed advocate of eugenics and the extermination of groups of people she deemed as 'undesirables," the GOP legislators said in a letter sent Friday to Kim Sajet, director of the National Portrait Gallery.... "Specifically, Ms. Sanger singled out African Americans, among other minority groups, as deserving to be subjected to such horrific and inhumane treatment," the letter said. "Honoring a...
