Nallely Perez, a former Planned Parenthood worker haunted by the remains of aborted babies she once handled, quit her job at the nation’s largest abortion company after her husband’s faith transformation opened the door to healing and a calling to help women choose life instead. Perez began her career at Planned Parenthood as a receptionist before advancing to the “POC” lab, where she strained and rinsed remains of little babies, and later assisted inside the abortion room. She was promoted for her skills, drawn by good pay and bonuses that seemed to promise a better life. Initially unmoved by the...

(LifeSiteNews) — An Obama-appointed federal judge has once again been rebuked for her attempts to stop a federal law, signed by President Donald Trump, that generally defunds Planned Parenthood and some other abortion vendors. Since July, District Judge Indira Talwani has tried several times to stop the temporary defunding of abortion giant Planned Parenthood. The requirement is provided for in the July “One Big Beautiful Bill Act” signed by Trump. However, the Massachusetts judge is regularly reversed by other judges, even those appointed by Democrats. Talwani’s latest act of judicial activism hit a roadblock earlier this week when the First...

The apex predator of the baby-killing world, Planned Parenthood, kickstarted the new year by announcing that they were shuttering one of their abortion clinics in Rolla, MO, the first in what will almost certainly be many. Sandwiched between a bowling alley and a defunct Pizza Hut, the Rolla location operated there for decades before being shut down Thursday. A press release from Planned Parenthood blamed the Trump administration for the closure: “Throughout 2025, Planned Parenthood health centers have had to contend with the deep, negative impacts of attacks on health care access, funding, and legal protections…Federal ‘defund’ efforts under the...

Approximately 50 Planned Parenthood clinics closed in 2025 as the group lost its ability to bill Medicaid, according to a report by the nation's largest abortion provider. On Dec. 12, a three-judge panel of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 1st Circuit ruled that Planned Parenthood is unlikely to succeed in its claims that being stripped of its Medicaid funds is unconstitutional, overturning a lower court's order that had temporarily blocked a provision of President Donald Trump's One Big Beautiful Bill Act, legislation that enacted key items of his legislative agenda on issues including taxes and immigration. That law...

A Washington woman angry with pro-life protesters outside a Planned Parenthood abortion facility struck one of them with her SUV after an argument, authorities said. Sierra D. Godfrey, 32, of Richland, is accused of swerving toward two men standing near the exit of the Bonnie Avenue abortion facility on December 1 with the intent to scare them. Instead, she hit one in the leg and hip, knocking him down before fleeing the scene. Godfrey, who allegedly admitted to police that she hit the protester and drove away, was arrested December 15 and booked into the Benton County jail on suspicion...

A pro-life activist was arrested while distributing pregnancy resource pamphlets on a public sidewalk outside a Planned Parenthood abortion center in San Francisco. The arrested is being called a violation of First Amendment rights of pro-life Americans to protest abortion or help women find alternatives. Anastasia Rogers, an organizer with the pro-life group Survivors San Francisco, was handcuffed and taken into custody Thursday after a security guard at the abortion giant alleged “threatening language” in an Instagram post she made about her sidewalk outreach, Pro-Life San Francisco said in a statement.

The video contains footage of a Coalition Life sidewalk counselor engaging with the hearse driver upon its arrival. The driver clarified that they were not there for pregnancy related services, and were instead there “picking up someone to take them to the funeral home.” Moments later, the woman driving the hearse entered Planned Parenthood and exited carrying the remains of an aborted child in a bag. Following the incident, Coalition Life staff called Lake View Funeral...

A federal appeals court on Friday upheld a key provision of President Donald Trump’s signature domestic policy bill, allowing the administration to defund the Planned Parenthood abortion business. The One Big Beautiful Bill that Trump signed this summer withholds Medicaid funding from Planned Parenthood and other major abortion sellers, delivering a major victory to pro-life advocates seeking to end taxpayer support for organizations that kill babies in abortions. The 1st U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals overturned a lower court’s preliminary injunction, ruling that the measure in the One Big Beautiful Bill Act does not constitute an unconstitutional punishment. “It instead...

A former Planned Parenthood director who spent 17 years working at abortion clinics has come forward with harrowing accounts of women delivering fully formed babies after taking abortion pills. She says they are told to flush the remains down the toilet, confirming the abortion procedure’s deadly toll on unborn children and its devastating physical and emotional harm to mothers.

Rodriguez, now a witness in a lawsuit against Planned Parenthood and Minnesota Gov. Tim...

The 1st U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals on Monday overruled a preliminary injunction from liberal U.S. District Judge Indira Talwani, allowing a federal provision to defund the Planned Parenthood abortion business through Medicaid to take effect and continue during ongoing litigation. The decision, which lifts a temporary block on the funding ban, marks a significant victory for pro-life advocates who have long pushed to redirect taxpayer dollars away from the abortion company. The American Center for Law and Justice, which filed amicus briefs supporting the government’s position, hailed the ruling as a “crucial” step in “defending the sanctity of life...

You can be pro-abortion, as the Washington Post is through and through, and still come to conclusions that advance the cause of life. Examples? I don’t know if I can find more than one instance from the WaPo’s editorial page, but yesterday it did reach a sound conclusion on the same topic for a second time. To wit, the editorial clobbered Judge Indira Talwani, an Obama appointee, for blocking, for a second time,” a “legitimate, politically accountable decision” on “flimsy legal grounds”. What are they talking about? Presidents too often try to advance their agendas unilaterally. Yet when it comes...

Anthony Pro-Life America slammed the pro-abortion activism in a statement: “The Democrats and their radical activist judges are desperately seeking to thwart the will of the people and bail out the Big Abortion industry, led by Planned Parenthood. The One Big Beautiful Bill Act is federal law passed by Congress and signed by the president. Planned Parenthood’s more than 40 closures this year are a reflection not only of taxpayers finally having...

Buried in a recent study published by researchers with the Guttmacher Institute (Planned Parenthood's former research arm and "special affiliate") is the real reason why reports indicate a huge spike in abortions since the end of Roe v. Wade in June of 2022: mail-order abortion. Key Takeaways: * The Guttmacher Institute notes that telehealth abortion with the ability to mail abortion pills to abortion seekers has contributed to the increased abortion numbers since the end of Roe v. Wade. * In 2023 and 2024, Guttmacher and #WeCount reported increased abortion numbers overall, with the abortion pill comprising about 63% of...

The Planned Parenthood abortion business has closed three more centers. Pro-life advocates hailed the shutdown of three Planned Parenthood facilities in Wisconsin as a significant blow to the abortion industry. The closures push the national tally of Planned Parenthood closures this year to 48 and underscore the impact of federal funding restrictions aimed at protecting taxpayers from subsidizing elective abortions and the abortion industry. The centers in Portage, West Bend and Wisconsin Rapids — all part of Planned Parenthood of Wisconsin’s network — have ceased operations. None of the locations did abortions on site but all of them arrange for...
