The landlord of an abortion facility in Bristol, Virginia, is again attempting to evict the business, but the owner is vowing to stay. Diane Derzis owns Bristol Women’s Health Center, which leases a commercial property building from brothers Chase King and Chadwick King. From the very beginning, the King brothers have tried to evict the abortion facility, claiming in December of 2022 that Derzis was not truthful about the nature of her business when she signed the lease with them. They said that the broker “represented that the type of medical practice of her clients was a general family practice,”...

Democrat Vice President Kamala Harris visited a Planned Parenthood abortion clinic in Minnesota this week, where she claimed that access to abortion is a “health crisis” and that “we have to be a nation that trusts women.” As Katie covered, Harris is the first sitting vice president of the United States to ever visit an abortion clinic. This was done as part of her national abortion rights tour leading up to the 2024 presidential election. “It is only right and fair that people have access to the healthcare they need. And that they have access to health care in an...

The UNM Center for Reproductive Health, an unassuming clinic tucked into the back of an office park down the street from the Albuquerque International Sunport, used to be relatively low volume. So much so that those in an abortion provider fellowship program often had to go somewhere else in their second year to get more experience.That changed once Texas’ Senate Bill 8 went into effect in September 2021, banning abortion after 6-weeks of pregnancy and then again after the U.S. Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade in June 2022. Now all abortions are banned in Texas except for cases in...

SANTA FE — Legislators pushed forward Friday with a plan to shield doctors and nurses in New Mexico from out-of-state investigations targeting reproductive and gender-affirming care — part of a broader policy package intended to strengthen abortion rights. The proposal, Senate Bill 13, won approval 38-30 in the state House, sending it on to Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham, a Democrat who has made defending abortion rights a centerpiece of her administration. It codifies an executive order issued by Lujan Grisham in June 2022, just days after the U.S. Supreme Court overturned the landmark Roe v. Wade decision, a ruling that...

Group co-founder Pastor Ken Peters said the pro-lifers will continue to meet: ‘It ain’t over.SPOKANE, Washington (LifeSiteNews) — A Christian pro-life group was forced to pay nearly $1 million in fines for allegedly “disturb[ing] the peace within” an abortion mill by praying, preaching, and singing hymns outside, a judge ruled earlier this month. Judge Tim Fennessy of Spokane County Superior Court ruled that the pro-life Christian group, called The Church at Planned Parenthood (TCAPP), would need to pay $850,000 in legal fees in addition to the $110,000 in civil damages they were previously ordered to pay out to Planned Parenthood...

MADISON, Wis. — Planned Parenthood in Wisconsin immediately halted all scheduled abortions at its clinics in Madison and Milwaukee following the U.S. Supreme Court’s ruling striking down the Roe v. Wade decision on Friday. Wisconsin has an 1849 law that bans abortion, except to save the life of the mother, but whether that law is enforceable was expected to be the center of yet-to-be-filed lawsuits. Wisconsin Attorney General Josh Kaul, a Democrat, said he would have news next week about next steps in reaction to the court’s ruling. Planned Parenthood of Wisconsin President Tanya Atkinson said in a statement that...

Cleveland, OH – An ambulance and a fire unit were dispatched to Preterm, a Cleveland, Ohio, abortion facility, on October 15, 2021, for a 20-year-old woman who may have had a hole torn in her uterus during a 19-week second trimester abortion. An evasive caller from Preterm was reluctant to give details about the woman’s condition and what led them to suspect a uterine perforation had occurred. Defective elevator About two minutes into the 3 minute 49 second call, she finally informed the 911 operator that the elevator, which is the only gurney access to...

An Ohio abortion clinic is refusing to cease abortions during the coronavirus pandemic despite an order from the Ohio Department of Health. Preterm employee Fiona Thomas confirmed to the Daily Caller News Foundation on Monday morning that the clinic will not stop performing abortions, despite a Wednesday order from the Ohio Department of Health mandating that all non-essential and elective surgeries cease in order to preserve Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) for health workers. This was followed by a Friday letter from Ohio Attorney General Dave Yost ordering two specific Ohio abortion clinics to stop providing any services that require PPE,...

You have to hand it to Planned Parenthood. Few are as adroit as creating shell companies and employing misdirection so that no Fairview Heights, Illinois city official knew that the nation’s leading abortion provider was secretly converting an existing but vacant medical office into a gigantic 18,000 sq. foot clinic where it would perform both surgical and chemical (“medication”) abortions. The ribbon-cutting and rally is scheduled for later today, with the killing geared to begin Wednesday. “Fairview Heights Mayor Mark Kupsky said the city administration had not been informed of Monday’s ribbon cutting event,” according to Joseph Bustos of the...

FULL TITLE: Would you buy the abortion house of horrors? Philadelphia clinic where Dr Kermit Gosnell killed living babies with scissors and dumped fetal remains is going up for sale Philadelphia has begun the process to auction off the site of a former clinic where now-imprisoned doctor Kermit Gosnell performed illegal late-term abortions. The city is seeking to use a sheriff's auction to recoup about $50,000 in delinquent taxes, with a sale possible as soon as early 2019, Philly.com reported Thursday. The proceedings were initiated earlier this year. Gosnell, who is serving a prison sentence of life without the possibility...

“I watched them pull [the babies] out of the freezer with gloves on, put it in the red bag which is the bag they’re supposed to and tape the box closed… I didn’t want to look at it. Not at all. I believe if I would’ve looked at it, I just probably would’ve walked off the job.” -Former Stericycle truck driver In July 2018, Stericycle was fined for multiple violations of South Carolina infectious waste laws. Because of Stericycle’s shady business practices and involvement in abortion, some waste drivers have quit working for the waste giant. Created Equal talked to...

Bethesda, MD – A new medical waste company has been hired by AbortionClinics.org (ACO), a late-term abortion facility located in Bethesda, Maryland, after two other companies cancelled contracts to pick up aborted baby remains there last month. The new company, Bio-Haz Solutions, Inc., based in Nesquehoning, Pennsylvania, was first seen at ACO in early July making a pick-up of four large and apparently very heavy boxes. ACO, which is owned and operated by the notorious late-term abortionist LeRoy Carhart of Nebraska, is one of a handful of abortion facilities in the U.S. that openly abort babies through all nine months...

It seems tougher by the hour for Planned Parenthood to rationalize its long-held motto, “Care. No Matter What.” That steep task just got harder this week, amid revelations that a shuttered Planned Parenthood abortion clinic in Iowa broke client confidentiality by leaving behind personal health information (PHI) records for over 2,500 of its former clients. In early May, a Dubuque office affiliated with Planned Parenthood of the Heartland completed the sale of its property to Clarity Clinic, a local pregnancy help organization, and left behind a closet full of patient files that took Planned Parenthood staff 10 days to come...

“To you, Lord, I call; you are my Rock, do not turn a deaf ear to me. For if you remain silent, I will be like those who go down to the pit. Hear my cry for mercy as I call to you for help, as I lift up my hands toward your Most Holy Place. Do not drag me away with the wicked, with those who do evil, who speak cordially with their neighbors but harbor malice in their hearts” – Psalm 28:1-3. On Saturday, we got a text from our sister that our dad had been arrested while...

While headlines blared today that four of IowaÂ’s 12 Planned Parenthoods are closing due to state cuts, thereÂ’s another story about the abortion giant shutting their doors in the Rocky Mountain region for an entirely other reason: lack of customers. Half of the Planned Parenthood facilities in New Mexico are closing plus the last facility in Wyoming, for a total of five throughout the Planned Parenthood of the Rocky Mountains region. And the decision was not completely financial, like the Iowa closings claim to be.Meet Adrienne Mansanares, Planned Parenthood of the Rocky Mountains Chief Experience Officer, who unexpectedly is honest...

“A combination Apple Store, Starbucks, and Anthropologie” Planned Parenthood recently opened their new D.C. headquarters office. Built in an old auto shop, Planned Parenthood’s new digs cost $19.7 million to build and was funded by private donations (all the more reason America’s largest abortion purveyor doesn’t need federal monies, but I digress). The Washingtonian took a tour of the “swanky” new office concluding “the Carol Whitehill Moses Center is the most thoughtfully designed of all the organization’s facilities nationwide.”Judging by the photos (taken by Stacy Zarin Goldberg), you’d think you were in a swanky library or Google headquarters, not...

The Planned Parenthood abortion facility in Silver Spring, Maryland, permanently closed on St. Patrick’s Day, March 17, 2017, after the property’s management team realized that abortion is bad for business. Pro-life activists, led by Lauren Handy, persuaded the property management company not to renew Planned Parenthood’s lease using a narrowly-targeted educational campaign. Planned Parenthood had occupied the same office, located at 1400 Spring St. in Silver Spring, Maryland, for over 20 years, conducting surgical abortions.“The men and women who ministered at that Planned Parenthood for two decades deserve a lot of credit for their perseverance and tenacity,” said Troy Newman,...

A Kentucky abortion facility caught masquerading as a doctor’s office will close permanently on Jan. 27, the Lexington Herald-Leader reports. In the spring of 2016, Kentucky Gov. Matt Bevin’s administration filed a lawsuit accusing the EMW Women’s Clinic in Lexington of illegally operating an abortion clinic disguised as a doctor’s office. Bevin’s administration asked a court for permission to close the practice, saying it was not licensed as an abortion facility. State health investigators also found unsanitary conditions inside the facility, according to the Courier Journal. The state Supreme Court sided with the governor in August. It has not been...

Bakersfield, CA — Public records obtained by Operation Rescue and eye-witness accounts reveal two disturbing incidents that both took place on November 5, 2016, at the FPA abortion facility in Bakersfield, California. Emergency 911 recordings and CAD transcripts show that a 911 call was placed by an FPA employee, at 9:42 a.m. complaining of a patient that has arrived on a motorcycle with a friend, who was “flipping out like crazy” and throwing a helmet around. When the caller could not answer the dispatcher’s questions, another woman, identified as “Maria,” the clinic manager, took the phone. But Maria was surprised...
