Stephan Stewart’s parents were in the middle of an acrimonious divorce, so to cope with the turmoil at home, she became entangled in a promiscuous lifestyle. She was just 15 years old when she went with a friend to Planned Parenthood to get birth control — and discovered she was pregnant. Stewart told Live Action News, “The services at Planned Parenthood were free except that I was required to pay for an ultrasound. I wondered how I was going to get the money to do this. I didn’t want to tell my parents I had gotten pregnant – I was...

The slaughter of abortion and the disorder of the Sexual Revolution are, to borrow William Shakespeare’s phrase, “two yoke-devil’s sworn to either’s purpose,” working hand-in-hand to claim the lives of children for profit and claim the souls of men and women for Hell. Wholesale abortion is, of course, a direct result of the cultural disaster known as the Sexual Revolution: that revolution, no less horrific than France’s Reign of Terror, successfully connived the modern world to divorce sexual pleasure from its natural and glorious fruit, the generation of new life, paving the way for the calamitous march of abortion, widespread...

Missouri Senators Nick Schroer and Mary Elizabeth Coleman have filed legislation that would prevent “any abortion facility or any affiliate or associate thereof” from being eligible to receive Medicaid through the state’s MO HealthNet. Coleman has also stated she would like to see Planned Parenthood prosecuted for recent video footage purporting to show illegal activity on the part of the nation’s leading abortion business. “Our tax dollars should not be going to those types of institutions, even if it’s a penny,” Schroer said. Previously, a court judge ruled that lawmakers cannot block Planned Parenthood from receiving Medicaid reimbursements. As that...

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Washington D.C. – Just months after securing an $18 million judgment against Troy Newman, President of Operation Rescue, news broke that Cecile Richards is suffering from terminal brain cancer. Jesus exhorted his followers to “love our enemies” and “pray for those who persecute us.” With that sentiment, Operation Rescue is asking all followers of Jesus to pray for the healing and salvation of Planned Parenthood’s former chief executive. When the groundbreaking Center for Medical Progress (CMP) videos hit the news in 2015, revealing Planned Parenthood’s illegal sale of baby body parts, Cecile Richards was President of Planned...

Saturday Night Live (SNL) alum and actress Leslie Jones published a book last year, “Leslie ******* Jones: A Memoir,” during which she discussed having multiple abortions. She also appeared on The Daily Show, in a segment where she heavily promoted Planned Parenthood — and for that, the NAACP has nominated her for their Outstanding Image Award. Jones tweeted about the accomplishment on X (formerly known as Twitter), saying she was “beyond honored” to be recognized for her discussion of the “crucial role” Planned Parenthood played for her. “The battle to ensure the reproductive rights for women in the U.S. continues,”...

San Jose Police got into a scuffle with some outside the event, according to local reports. 'Biden, Harris, you can't hide, we charge you with genocide,' the protesters chanted. Harris was interrupted...

Virginity is a social construct and everyone can create their own definition of what sex is, Planned Parenthood claims. Planned Parenthood — which notably profits from the killing of unborn babies via abortion — posted a video to X on Thursday aimed at young people, explaining its definition of virginity and telling young people that they can create their own definition of sex rather than adhere to reality. “Sex means different things to different people. Generally speaking, society tends to define sex in a very narrow way: penetration — penis into vagina. But where does that definition leave queer people?...

Planned Parenthood released a video Wednesday arguing that virginity is a “completely made up concept” and complains that the term leaves out queer people. The video opens with a woman in a classroom, who argues that the word virginity was “created simply to control and shame people” and later claims that the reason “virginity is whack” is because “sex means different things to different people.” The woman says that the traditional definition of virginity, “penetration – penis into vagina,” doesn’t fit queer people or those who choose to have other kinds of sex such as anal.

Kate Cox, a mother of two, sought a court order to block Texas' abortion bans after she discovered that her developing fetus had trisomy 18, a fatal diagnosis.

President Joe Biden and the first lady called Cox on Sunday to hear about her experience and invited her to attend the address, press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said during a press briefing. "They thanked her for her...

How we respect life is the over-riding moral issue By JESSE JACKSON; Right to Life News, January 1977. This article is part of no violence period. The question of "life" is The Question of the 20th century. Race and poverty are dimensions of the life question, but discussions about abortion have brought the issue into focus in a much sharper way. How we will respect and understand the nature of life itself is the over-riding moral issue, not of the Black race, but of the human race. The question of abortion confronts me in several different ways. First, although I ...

How is Pennsylvania’s Planned Parenthood marking the 51st anniversary of Roe v. Wade? Would you believe they are pushing for an end to the health and safety regulations enacted in the wake of serial killer Kermit Gosnell?! In a truly bizarre commemoration, Planned Parenthood plans to join with pro-abortion state lawmakers to hold a news conference Monday to rally for the rescinding of abortion center regulations. The Pennsylvania legislature enacted the regulations specifically as a response to abortionist Kermit Gosnell’s reign of terror in West Philadelphia. A grand jury suspected that Gosnell killed hundreds, if not thousands, of newborn babies...

In December, the United States Supreme Court agreed to hear the Alliance for Hippocratic Medicine v. U.S. Food and Drug Administration case, in which restrictions surrounding mifepristone will be considered. Originally, the state of Texas was the only one in the country included in the lawsuit, but a judge has ruled that three more will be allowed to join in as well. U.S. District Judge Matthew Kacsmaryk granted a motion allowing Idaho, Missouri, and Kansas to join as plaintiffs in the lawsuit. The states argued that the case will affect them, particularly as “out-of-state organizations are sending thousands of abortion...

A new movie starring actress Emma Stone is being criticized for featuring children in an adult sex scene, further raising alarm for how much children are sexualized in Hollywood and in overall culture. In an apparent twist on Mary Shelley’s “Frankenstein,” “Poor Things” tells the story of a woman named Bella Baxter, played by Stone, who initially committed suicide while pregnant. A mad scientist finds her body and takes the brain of her preborn child, implants it into Bella’s body, and resurrects her. This results in a living person with an adult woman’s body and an infant’s mind. From the...

Nearly one year later, Google is still directing those looking for information on “pregnancy” toward the largest abortion mill in the country: Planned Parenthood. MRC Free Speech America researchers analyzed Google, Bing and DuckDuckGo search results for the word “pregnancy” in a “clean environment” one week before the 51st annual national March for Life in Washington, D.C. Bing and DuckDuckGo elevated neutral results with links to popular health websites like Mayo Clinic and Healtline.com, as one might expect. But Google’s first result was a link to Planned Parenthood’s landing page on pregnancy. Planned Parenthood did not show up at all...

More than 1,000 people took to the grassy area in front of the Miller Park Amphitheater in Fontana on Saturday, Jan. 13, to protest against school district policies they say socially transition children without parental consent. The crowd waved signs calling for an end to abortion and proclaiming their rights as parents to be involved in their children’s lives. Several American flags peaked over the heads of the crowd decked in T-shirts with sayings such as “Leave Our Kids Alone” in large bold letters as a Christian worship band opened the rally. The rally and march Saturday joined a growing...

A New Jersey bill requiring parental approval before a minor can join social media has garnered opposition… from Planned Parenthood, the nation’s largest abortion business. Last November, Democrat Herb Conaway introduced a bill that would require children in New Jersey to have parental approval to use social media, including required verification of the adult’s age. “We have to get a hold of this,” Conaway told NJ Advance Media at the time. “Everyone in our country should be alarmed in the rising prevalence of mental illness among our children. Much of it can be laid at the feet of social media....

The center boasts that in addition to four rooms in which abortions will be carried out by abortion pill, it has a playroom for children.

Those in attendance at the national exhibition in Washington, DC, will be invited to try out the free online tool designed to hold charities accountable and keep donors “in the know.” While many charitable givers have been advised to research a nonprofit’s bottom line, it may not be second nature for most givers to look beyond...
