The political arm of Planned Parenthood Northern California has endorsed four candidates running for seats on the San Francisco Board of Supervisors, and all four of them are men. The decision has drawn ire from more than 50 Bay Area organizations, activists and politicians, who sent a joint letter to Planned Parenthood Northern California, whose administrative office is in Concord, chiding the chapter for its endorsements and demanding to know what considerations went into its decision process. “It is impossible to miss the fact that NO WOMEN were endorsed in any of the Supervisorial district races, especially when there are...

Further evidence the gun prohibition lobby is frustrated by federal court rulings upholding the Second Amendment came Wednesday when the Everytown for Gun Safety “Action Fund” joined forces with the Planned Parenthood Action Fund to support federal legislation to create term limits for Supreme Court justices.The groups have thrown their support behind a bill introduced last year, H.R. 5566, known as the Supreme Court Tenure Establishment and Retirement Modernization Act of 2023. The bill, not surprisingly, has gone nowhere in the U.S. House, which is controlled by as narrow Republican majority.In a prepared statement, Everytown President John Feinblatt asserted, “This...

Planned Parenthood expected to perform 25 free medication abortions through its mobile “health” clinic stationed near the Democratic National Convention (DNC) on Monday and Tuesday. Dr. Colleen McNicholas, the chief medical officer of Planned Parenthood Great Rivers, told the New York Post outside of the abortion van on Monday that it had planned for “about” ten vasectomies and 25 medication abortions. Planned Parenthood Great Rivers announced in a post to X on August 14 that it would be offering free vasectomies and abortions during the DNC in Chicago. Organizers said the stunt was “not political” although they said the mobile...

A young woman who “transitioned” at 18 years old with help from Planned Parenthood is now suing the abortion giant for irresponsibly providing her with testosterone. The Free Press reported that Cristina Hineman is a plaintiff in the first “detransitioner” lawsuit against Planned Parenthood, suing for medical malpractice. According to Hineman, she had previously been dealing with mental health issues like self-harm, depression, and anxiety, all of which were made worse during the COVID-19 lockdown. She also has autism. YouTubers made her think that changing gender identity was the answer to solve her problems, and she went to Planned Parenthood...

Five newly-released undercover videos show Texas-based Planned Parenthood abortionists describing how they abort late-term babies alive and then dismember them to avoid the federal partial-birth abortion law and then sell the baby body parts for profit. Liberty Counsel’s client Sandra Merritt, and David Daleiden, founder of the Center for Medical Progress, filmed the videos in 2015 during an undercover investigation of Planned Parenthood. Then-California Attorney General Kamala Harris investigated and charged Merritt and Daleiden while the videos were blocked from public release by a court order. The videos have now been released after a congressional subpoena cleared the way for...

HOUSTON, Aug. 8— Newly-released undercover footage, which Planned Parenthood sought to block for eight years, shows the organization’s Houston, TX branch describing delivering late-term fetuses intact and alive and mutilating the bodies afterwards to cover up violations of the federal partial-birth abortion law, in conversations about selling fetal body parts. In the footage of two conversations filmed at the National Abortion Federation’s 2015 commercial trade show, undercover reporters posing as laboratory wholesalers speak with Dr. Ann Schutt-Aine, the Chief Medical Officer of Planned Parenthood Gulf Coast, and Tram Nguyen, RN, the branch’s Vice President of Abortion Access. In the first...

Never before seen footage showing a Planned Parenthood employee appearing to discuss the sale of aborted babies’ body parts was released Tuesday, years after now-Vice President Kamala Harris seized the footage as Attorney General of California. The five-minute video shows a conversation between a person identified as Dr. Stacy De-Lin, Planned Parenthood New York City Medical Director for Abortion Services, and an undercover reporter with the Center for Medical Progress (CMP). During their conversation, De-Lin seems to acknowledge that Planned Parenthood would sell the livers of aborted babies. In one clip, De-Lin is told by a CMP investigator that she...

Paramedics Provide Advanced Life Support Carbondale, Illinois – On June 10, an employee called from Carbondale Planned Parenthood, located at 200 North Emerald Lane, to request an ambulance for a woman hemorrhaging after a procedural abortion. The Planned Parenthood facility was opened just days before Christmas in 2023 and has added surgical abortions since its opening. Operation Rescue has tracked this Planned Parenthood and other abortion facilities that opened in Carbondale after the overturn of Roe v. Wade, making it a dangerous abortion destination. Mothers in southern states, where unborn babies are protected, are unfortunately directed to the southern Illinois...

The Planned Parenthood abortion business has revealed a $40 million commitment for the 2024 election cycle, intending to bolster its lucrative abortion business and endorse President Joe Biden along with prominent congressional Democrats. This announcement follows the U.S. Supreme Court’s reversal of Roe v. Wade two years ago, which ended the made-up “right” to abortion. Planned Parenthood’s initiative seeks to support candidates nationwide who advocate for abortion rights. The heavy election investment comes after the abortion giant got hundreds of millions of tax dollars. Planned Parenthood made use of $699 million in United States taxpayer funds to perform over 390,000...

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...

Apparently there is an emergency that not enough babies are being killed in California. Never mind that California allows abortions up to birth and funds abortions at taxpayer expense. Now, Governor Gavin Newsom is proposing “emergency” legislation to allow Arizona abortionists to come to California to kill more babies in abortions. The move comes after the Arizona Supreme Court upheld an abortion ban that protects babies from abortions but allows an abortion if needed to save a woman’s life in an emergency. Hence, there is no emergency – because all emergency care is allowed in Arizona for pregnant women, including...

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...

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...

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.

Kicking off the new year with a big victory for babies, women and the doctors who care for them, the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals on Tuesday blocked the Biden administration from forcing emergency room doctors to carry out abortions (State of Texas v. Becerra). The panel ruling was unanimous. This litigation has been playing out for well over a year, with separate cases originating simultaneously in more than one state. (Stay with us, because the timeline gets a little complicated and we’re diving right in.) Recently it has attracted fresh attention – and media malpractice – due to...

LAS VEGAS (KTNV) — It's been a year and a half since the U.S. Supreme Court's ruling in the Dobbs v. Jackson case, which ultimately overturned the landmark Roe v. Wade decision and opened the floodgates for states to pass legislation banning or restricting abortion. Abortion access remains intact in Nevada, though, thanks to a 1990 voter referendum that safeguarded abortion rights for up to 24 weeks of pregnancy. "We want to make sure that those patients know that here in southern Nevada, they are welcome and they are safe," said Adrienne Mansanares, the CEO of Planned Parenthood of the...

Planned Parenthood has seen its transgender treatments business soar in recent years as demand for the life-altering services skyrockets across the country. The transgender medical business has become increasingly lucrative as it swells into a multi-billion dollar industry. According to data published by the organization’s regional branches, Planned Parenthood has seen a major boom in demand for transgender treatments, many of which create patients/customers for life. Planned Parenthood first began providing hormone treatments for transgender patients in 2005. Since then, 41 out of 49 regional branches have provided transgender services as of 2022. However, in just the last three years,...

Tenth-graders at a Missouri high school last week had to watch a slideshow on “oppression and privilege” that appears to violate state law by using information from a Planned Parenthood affiliate that lists abortion clinics on its website. The website of the Planned Parenthood affiliate tells teens about “porn literacy” and “hookups” for casual sex. The class of sophomores at Webster Groves High School near St. Louis watched a slideshow titled “Being an Ally,” which lists so-called oppression categories as “racial,” “class,” “gender,” “sexual orientation,” “religion,” and “immigration status.” “It’s wrong to teach that different categories of human beings are...

California Governor Gavin Newsom named a black woman to fill the Senate seat left vacant by the death of Dianne Feinstein. And not just any black woman. Laphonza Butler is a black lesbian woman, and for that, according to Newsom, “She will make history.” *She’s been involved in California politics for nearly 15 years, and she used to head up the Golden State’s largest labor union, according to The New York Times.* Butler was also “an adviser to Vice President Kamala Harris,” The Times reports. “In 2021, she became the first Black woman to take the helm at Emily’s List,...

Three days ago, Ohio Right to Life (ORTL) terminated their communications director Elizabeth Marbach for sharing the gospel on Twitter and the great sin of calling out a particularly noxious pro-choice activist by describing them as a “murderous liar” for spreading pro-baby-killing propaganda. Led by compromised men and weak-willed women, this is the same pro-life group that refused to support any abolitionist legislation because it punished women for killing their babies, taking an active role in blocking these bills from becoming law. Well, they’re at it again. A new report from The Sentinel reveals that Mike McGuire, one of ORTL’s...
