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...

I just read an “explainer” article by the Ethics & Religious Liberty Commission (ERLC) published in the Christian Index, and to no one’s surprise, it’s exactly what we’ve come to expect from the Southern Baptist Convention’s well-funded public relations department. It’s a cautiously worded, carefully scripted, spiritually neutered position paper disguised as righteous outrage. It’s a magnum opus, a virtuosic performance, in moral hedging. At a time when the nation’s house of ethics is burning down, ERLC president, Brent Leatherwood, and his merry band of religious bureaucrats are busy arguing over whether the paint color is pink or ambrosia. The...

Despite federal law expressly prohibiting it, national abortion chain Planned Parenthood appears to have pocketed millions of dollars in “Paycheck Protection Program” COVID relief funds, and now Congress wants answers. U.S. Senate Committee on Small Business and Entrepreneurship Chair Joni Ernst (R-Iowa) and U.S. Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Chair Rand Paul (R-Ky) report they have “asked the Small Business Administration (SBA) to share how the Planned Parenthood Federation of America (PPFA) unlawfully received millions of dollars in funding from the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) and had 34 loans forgiven by the Biden administration.” “Ernst and Paul...

The Trump administration announced plans Tuesday to freeze tens of millions of dollars in family-planning grants to the nation’s biggest abortion company. The move would halt approximately $20 million in federal funding to Planned Parenthood affiliates, according to sources cited by The Wall Street Journal. Pro-life advocates hailed the decision as a significant step toward redirecting taxpayer dollars away from abortion centers and toward life-affirming alternatives. The funding pause, detailed in reports from The Wall Street Journal, targets grants under review for their alignment with diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) efforts. While the administration examines these programs, the freeze effectively...

According to a Wall Street Journal report Tuesday, the Trump administration is looking into turning off the federal funding pipeline to one of its most controversial recipients, the euphemistically named Planned Parenthood, as they investigate where the money is actually going.

An Evangelical mission doctor has warned that millions of lives are at stake surrounding the potential dismantling of the U.S. President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR), as country music artists led by Amy Grant have called for the program's reauthorization. PEPFAR, launched in 2003 under President George W. Bush, is the largest global health initiative focused on a single disease, HIV/AIDS. PEPFAR has sent over $100 billion to more than 50 countries in the last two decades, providing antiretroviral therapy (ARVs) life-saving treatment and infrastructure support to regions most affected by the epidemic, particularly in Africa. However, recent aid...

This month — March 30th — will mark 20 years since Terri Schindler Schiavo was cruelly killed, deprived of food and water for 13 days until she finally succumbed to dehydration and starvation. It was one of the most controversial bioethics issues to arise since Roe v. Wade, in what many deemed a victory for supposed “medical choice.” Now, two decades later, a pair of bioethicists is revisiting Terri’s death, and argued that while they believe killing her was the right decision, it also ended up leading to the fall of Roe v. Wade in 2022. The Hastings Center is...
