This incident is said to have happened in 2021, years after the law took effect back in 1998. WJLA covered the incident on Wednesday, writing that Fairfax County Public Schools are launching an investigation into the matter. “We learned yesterday of these concerning allegations from 2021,” FCPS said when...

The 158-page report “The Next Wave: How Religious Extremism Is Reclaiming Power,” published by the European Parliamentary Forum for Sexual & Reproductive Rights (EPF), faults “religious extremism” for the phenomenon of “accelerating financial expansion of movements working to dismantle decades of hard-won sexual and reproductive rights across Europe.”The EPF report derides the “anti-rights...

Planned Parenthood Gulf Coast President Melaney Linton said in a statement the Louisiana closures are a “direct result of relentless political assaults.” “This is not a decision we wanted to make; it is one we were forced into by political warfare.

Today, the Trump administration published a proposed rule to rescind the Biden-era Veterans Affairs policy that pushed illegal abortions at VA hospitals and clinics.

So far this year, the Planned Parenthood abortion business has closed 33 centers. Despite what the abortion giant and the media would have Americans think, they all participated in abortions. Some would kill babies directly with surgical abortions. Others would kill babies by selling the dangerous abortion pill that also kills and injures women. Still others would make abortion referrals – with Planned Parenthood locations in pro-life states arranging abortions in other states or using telehealth to sell abortion pills to women in violation of state pro-life laws. The closures don’t mean that every baby the Planned Parenthood center would...

Houston, TX — Scattered among three different affiliates, Planned Parenthood currently operates 30 brick-and-mortar clinics in the state of Texas – none of which have been able to perform abortions since 2022, and none of which have been allowed Medicaid reimbursements since 2021. Despite Planned Parenthood’s constant outrage over being recently defunded at both the state and federal level – touting that it offers “other services” in order to downplay a grisly business model centered around killing prenatal children – last week’s news out of Texas proved what more and more Americans are coming to suspect: the only things keeping...
