HANOVER COUNTY, Va. (WRIC) — A U.S. Navy officer was found guilty of killing his pregnant girlfriend in 2022 after she refused to get an abortion. On Wednesday, April 23, 27-year-old Emmanuel Coble of Hampton was found guilty in Hanover County Circuit Court on all five charges he faced in the murder of 20-year-old Raquiah King of Hampton, who was shot and killed in July 2022, according to Mackenzie Babichenko, the Hanover County Commonwealth’s Attorney. King’s death also resulted in the loss of her pregnancy, which was about 12 weeks along. On July 21, 2022, a deputy with the Hanover...

Springfield, IL – Operation Rescue is investigating three more women who were rushed to the hospital after botched abortions in Illinois between December 2024 and March 2025. Each incident involved women who suffered heavy bleeding—likely caused by uterine perforation, a well-known but potentially life-threatening complication of surgical abortion. These cases, documented in emergency call recordings and reported by pro-life eyewitnesses, raise alarming flags regarding clinic oversight and safety standards in Illinois. 1. Carafem Health Center, Skokie At 1:37 p.m. on December 6, 2024, a 31-year-old woman was rushed from the Carafem Health Center in Skokie, Illinois to a hospital. Carafem...

CV NEWS FEED // As Planned Parenthood faces growing scrutiny over patient safety and service quality, a surge of political advertising seeks to shield the organization while targeting pro-life lawmakers. The ads, backed by Reproductive Rights for All (formerly NARAL), attempt to portray legislative efforts to defund abortion providers as attacks on women’s health care, Susan B. Anthony Pro-Life America reported. “These ads peddle false claims about defunding Big Abortion chains like Planned Parenthood,” said Marjorie Dannenfelser, president of Susan B. Anthony Pro-Life America. “They want the viewer to believe defunding abortion businesses would cut benefits to women. Nothing is...

The Missouri Court of Appeals for the Western District ruled against Planned Parenthood on April 15, ordering the abortion giant to hand over documentation related to an investigation into its alleged gender-related services to minors. According to KTTN, Planned Parenthood argued that handing over the documentation would violate patient privacy and that the attorney general’s office did not have the legal authority to make such a demand. However, the court ruled that Attorney General Andrew Bailey’s office has the legal authority to force Planned Parenthood to provide records related to procedures carried out on minors. “Today’s the Missouri Court of...

Every year for the last half-century, thousands of the poorest Utahns have turned to Planned Parenthood for free or discounted family planning health care, like birth control or testing for sexually transmitted infections. But under a directive from President Donald Trump’s administration to freeze the federal funds that helped pay for those services, Planned Parenthood Association of Utah was forced to raise its fees earlier this month. And now, it will close a quarter of its clinics in the state — the two furthest from Salt Lake City, and ones most accessible to some of Utah’s most rural residents. “When...

The COVID-19 pandemic raised parents’ awareness of disturbing content in children’s public school curriculum. Many parental advocacy groups continue to argue that the indoctrination in children’s classrooms and libraries effectively grooms children to become future patients of Planned Parenthood. As Live Action News has reported, Planned Parenthood, Advocates for Youth (with digital media arm AMAZE), and SIECUS are all members of the Future of Sex Education (FoSE) coalition and part of a web of sex miseducators. However, the FoSE coalition is not just providing sex education curricula in classrooms. Because the American Library Association (ALA) and affiliated organizations share many...

Planned Parenthood, the largest abortion chain in the U.S., continues to receive hundreds of millions of dollars in taxpayer funding. Specifically, according to its latest annual report, the abortion giant received nearly $700 million in that year alone. Yet there are multitudes of reasons why Planned Parenthood should be defunded. Planned Parenthood has been caught covering up the sexual abuse of children, with multiple victims testifying over a number of years as to how Planned Parenthood aborted their children and returned them to their abusers. Over 15 years ago, Live Action founder and president Lila Rose went undercover at Planned...

FReepers remember the story I posted yesterday about the pro life woman attacked by a pro abort? Well the Hodge Twins have found the entire clip and are giving their commentary on it. My personal thanks to the Hodge Twins for covering this.

Margaret Sanger promoted birth control as the path to eliminating minorities and the disabled to clean up the gene pool. Planned Parenthood, her legacy, jumped on abortion as a means to accomplish this goal. That isn't hyperbole. It is just a fact. Mike Wallace called her a hero. The entire Democratic Party turned her into a saint and has poured tens of billions into Planned Parenthood to accomplish that goal. And now Colorado Democrats are openly justifying their plan to subsidize abortions for the poor because, well, poor kids are expensive to the state. 2/ Let me break down what's...

BREAKING: Pro-life journalist Savannah Craven was violently attacked in NYC while asking passersby, “Do you know what Planned Parenthood does?” The woman she was interviewing became enraged after discovering Savannah was pro-life—and began punching her in the face. Savannah was taken to the ER to receive treatment and stitches. A pro-abortion culture is a more violent culture. Pray for Savannah and help share this video.

One of the common adjectives abortion advocates use in front of the word “child” is “wanted.” Since the American Birth Control League (now Planned Parenthood) first created its “Every Child, a Wanted Child” motto in an attempt to control population, the idea that children shouldn’t exist unless they are “wanted” by their parents has become widely accepted. Yet, research shows that women aren’t necessarily aborting because they don’t want their babies, but because they’ve been led to believe abortion is the only option they have. Margaret Sanger, the eugenic founder of the American Birth Control League wanted “[to] create a...

In recent years, the abortion industry has been pushing hard for women to receive the abortion pill regimen through the mail and undergo chemical abortions at home without medical supervision. Yet now, one Planned Parenthood affiliate is warning women that DIY chemical abortions may be dangerous… and it might just be for self-serving reasons. Earlier this month, a Pennsylvania teenager made national headlines when police investigated a chemical abortion. She had been turned away from local abortion facilities, presumably because she was too far along, and her mother ordered abortion pills online for her. The teenaged girl gave birth to...

CV NEWS FEED // The Trump administration is withholding tens of millions of dollars from Planned Parenthood facilities, according to an exclusive breaking news article published by POLITICO on the evening of Monday, March 31. According to POLITICO, nine Planned Parenthood state affiliates that receive federal money from the 55-year-old Title X family planning program received a letter on Monday announcing that their funding is being “temporarily withheld” for “possible violations” of federal civil rights law and President Donald Trump’s executive orders — including prohibitions on the promotion of diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI). Funding is also being withheld, according...

Planned Parenthood supporters used to justify abortion as a private matter that women choose only after thoughtful deliberation. Those days are long gone. Abortion activists now openly celebrate abortion by embracing the vulgar, the grotesque, and even the satanic. Case in point: 40 Days for Life participants on the East Coast observed an abortion worker’s vehicle bearing a bumper sticker that reads, “Murder is my hobby.” Another macabre sticker on the vehicle depicts a bleeding heart with the word “dead” emblazoned over it. These stickers are outrageous–but they’re also highly likely to backfire. Women aren’t getting abortions as their “hobby.”...

A former director of Planned Parenthood confirms that the abortion business routinely engages in Medicaid fraud. The U.S. Supreme Court will hear arguments on Wednesday in the case of Medina v. Planned Parenthood South Atlantic, which deals with a huge part of Planned Parenthood’s funding stream: Medicaid reimbursements. Abby Johnson, who ran a Planned Parenthood facility before she became pro-life, describes how the abortion company regularly engages in Medicaid fraud – and she says that’s a great reason to defund Planned Parenthood. “We rarely saw women at the Planned Parenthood I worked at in Texas for anything other than abortion,...

Parents are in an uproar over a coloring book created by Planned Parenthood, which was reportedly distributed to children on a field trip at the Kentucky Science Center. The museum hosted five local schools for an event called Health and Wellness Days, with students ranging from 8 to 13 years old. Groups present included the University of Louisville, Louisville Metro EMT, Norton Pediatric Neurology, the National Alliance on Mental Health (NAMI), and more. The museum said Planned Parenthood requested to be a vendor at the event, and was given permission to attend, according to Taylor U’Sellis, senior manager of marketing...

Washington, DC – On March 25, President Trump was asked this bombshell question: “If Planned Parenthood is defunded, would you look into the harvesting of baby organs that they’ve done throughout the years, and maybe go after some criminal prosecution on that?” President Trump answered: “We’ll look into it, we’re going to look into everything.” In 2015, the Center for Medical Progress, co-founded by Troy Newman and funded by Operation Rescue, released the first shocking undercover videos detailing Planned Parenthood’s participation in what appeared to be illegal profit-taking from the trafficking of tissue and organs harvested from aborted babies. Despite...

A Satanist leader was arrested on Friday morning after reportedly getting into a physical altercation at the Kansas State Capitol during a so-called “Black Mass” event. Michael Stewart, the founder of the Satanic Grotto, was detained at the Kansas Statehouse in the capital of Topeka after getting into a shoving match with another individual, according to WIBW News. The Satanic Grotto is described as an “organization for Satanists and allies who follow the Left-Hand Path,” according to the organization’s website. Per the outlet: Stewart then made his way to the rotunda, where he held his arms skyward and made a...

At the request of Planned Parenthood, Kentucky Governor Andy Beshear vetoed a bill this week that aimed to clarify the state’s law protecting preborn children from abortion and also could have allowed the opening of freestanding birth centers in the state. House Bill 90, an act relating to maternal health and declaring an emergency, sought to clarify the state’s pro-life law, which abortion advocates claimed was confusing for doctors. Most preborn children are protected from abortion in Kentucky, except in cases in which their mothers’ lives are considered to be at risk. The Prohibition against intentional termination of life of...

The Trump administration plans to immediately freeze $27.5 million in the form of Title X family-planning grants to organizations, including Planned Parenthood, as it determines whether the taxpayer funds have been used for the promotion of diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) efforts. The Wall Street Journal (WSJ) reported the move Tuesday, citing information from an agency spokesman within the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS). According to the WSJ, the organizations “that would be subject to the freeze include Planned Parenthood affiliates, the people familiar with the matter said.” “Altogether, the groups were set to get a total of...
