Planned Parenthood performed over 390,000 abortions while receiving nearly $700 million in government grants and reimbursements, according to its latest annual report for 2022-2023. Pro-life activists say the findings appear consistent with the long-term trend of the nation's largest abortion provider performing more abortions and providing fewer health services. According to Planned Parenthood's 2022-2023 annual report, the corporation performed 392,715 abortions and provided less than 2,000 adoption referrals. The organization also offered over 30,000 fewer Pap tests than recorded for 2021-2022. Additionally, preventative care visits also declined by over 30%. Despite the decline in health services, Planned Parenthood reported receiving...

This is the scariest video you’ll ever watch. You probably won’t see or read any of this anywhere else. And as usual, it’s all true. I’m going to tell you how they’re going to persuade you to kill yourself. And if they don’t succeed in getting you to commit suicide, then I’m going to tell you how they’re going to kill you. This is scary. It’s taken me weeks to put this together and I still find it disturbing. It is April 2024 and welcome to video 335. I said in my last video that I was taking a break...

It is one thing to push pills that could lead to death because of overdose or abuse. It is another thing to push pills that are designed to kill. But that’s just what one young pop star is doing – a pop star with 36.7 million Instagram followers. I’m speaking of Olivia Rodrigo, and the pills she is pushing – more accurately, the pills she is giving away – are abortion-related pills. What could be deadlier than that? I knew nothing about Rodrigo or her mission until our eldest granddaughter Elianna, a 2023 graduate of Liberty University, sent me a...

Six months ago, Planned Parenthood of Wisconsin announced they'd be resuming abortion services in Wisconsin. Since then, CEO Tanya Atkinson says the need for the procedure has been more clear than ever. "When we announced the decision to resume services, the appointments were filled within 24 hours, and our appointments have remained filled since that time," Atkinson said. The decision came after a Dane County Circuit judge ruled that the 1849 law that caused Planned Parenthood to halt abortion services when Roe v. Wade was overturned nearly two years ago did not apply to abortion. "Our commitment was to restore...

If you or your children have ever watched programming on PBS, you are probably familiar with the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation’s name. But what you may not know is that the foundation doesn’t just support public broadcasting; it is a large contributor to Big Abortion, and has also been funding media outlets and/or their key foundations and a host of journalism schools and projects. Media outlets taking grants from MacArthur Foundation include NPR Radio, Poynter, and the Kaiser Family Foundation (KFF). While the MacArthur Foundation claims online to “boldly” invest in “creative solutions to urgent challenges, sparking...

Planned Parenthood is allegedly transferring “proprietary” aborted baby body parts to the University of California San Diego (UCSD) “in exchange for ownership of the university’s ‘patents’ and ‘intellectual property’” created through experiments. The Center for Medical Progress (CMP) obtained documents showing the alleged transaction between the abortion organization and the university after filing a public records request. CMP Founder and President David Daleiden told CatholicVote: “These documents show that the whole time Planned Parenthood swore to Congress and the public they did not sell body parts, they were lying about active contracts like this one to sell aborted fetuses for...

Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey today announced a lawsuit against Planned Parenthood after an expose’ video showed officials discussing how they take teen girls out of state for secret abortions. As LifeNews previously reported, Project Veritas conducted an investigation just before Christmas this past year in which a journalist entered a Kansas City, Mo. clinic asking how to get an abortion for a 13-year-old. The male reporter was met with certainty and confidence from the staff that although the procedure is illegal in Missouri, the minor could be sent to Kansas for the procedure, and no one would need to...

A US non-profit that aired two ads during yesterday's Super Bowl attempting to rebrand Jesus for Gen Z is also the main funder of a designated hate group opposing abortion and LGBTIQ rights, openDemocracy can reveal. The Servant Foundation has plunged millions of dollars into its ‘He Gets Us’ ads, which paint Jesus as an “influencer” who was “cancelled” for standing up for his beliefs. The controversial adverts were shown at the Super Bowl for the second year running and have been plastered across billboards in the United States over the last year.

Chelsea Clinton claimed she left the Baptist Church at the age of six due to its stance on abortion, according to a recent interview. During an fundraising event for her mother, Hillary, Chelsea made an attempt to engage with evangelical voters who have doubts about her mother’s so-called religious faith Chelsea recalled how she felt troubled when teachers discussed the immorality of abortion in Sunday school. “I find it quite insulting sometimes when people say to my mom, my dad or me . . . that they question our faith,’ Chelsea said. “I was raised in a Methodist church and...

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,”...

Dozens of protesters calling for a cease fire in the Middle East interrupted Vice President Kamala Harris' event in San Jose on Monday as she attempted to talk about reproductive rights with actress Sophia Bush. 'We want a cease fire now,' the protesters shouted as some waved the flag of Palestine. The vice president was greeted by dozen of protesters when she arrived at the Mexican Heritage Plaza. 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. Kate Cox, the Texas woman at the center of a high-profile abortion case, will attend the State of Union address in March as a guest of first lady Jill Biden, the White House said Wednesday. 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...
