Thomas Massie and Warren Davidson — and another, House Freedom Caucus Chairman Andy Harris, voted “present.” Rep. Andrew Garbarino and Rep. David Schweikert missed the vote. “We’re going to get it [to Trump’s desk] by Independence Day, July 4th,” House Speaker Mike Johnson said Thursday regarding the budget bill. The House Energy and Commerce Committee signed off on the bill first last week and then the House Budget Committee followed suit...

Planned Parenthood’s most recent annual report, which revealed a record-breaking 400k abortions for 2023-24, also shows a significant increase in spending on programs related to sex education. According to Planned Parenthood’s 2023-24 annual report, spending on sex education programs was up more than 10% (approximately $6 million) from the prior year’s reporting, with yearly increases since 2021-22.

Planned Parenthood’s leaders launch into its 2023-2024 annual report with a markedly sad tone: “It’s been over two years since the U.S. Supreme Court took away our constitutional right to abortion.” Very quickly, however, readers can see the truth: that never before in its history has the abortion giant been so well-funded by American taxpayers, and never before has it ended more unborn lives than this past year – nearly three years since the Supreme Court held there is no right to abortion in the US Constitution. “Abortion bans have made pregnancy more dangerous, put patients and providers at risk...

The House Energy and Commerce Committee has passed the reconciliation bill that Republicans plan to advance in Congress to cut the massive size of the federal government. The good news for pro-life Americans is that the measure includes language to defund Planned Parenthood and Big Abortion. The abortion giant just announced that it killed over 420,000 babies in aboritons in its most recent year and mamade over $2 billion. There were several amendments by pro-abortion Demcorats to take out the pro-life language in that committee. They all failed. Nearly all committee Republicans voted against an amendment brought by pro-abortion Democrat...

May 12, 2025 – Fredericksburg, Virginia) American Life League cries “foul” on Planned Parenthood’s annual report, released on May 12, 2025. One of the key reasons that the Planned Parenthood watchdog organization labels the report as disingenuous is the absence of any mention of abortion pill numbers, which in some states make up a staggering 80% of all abortions. “Leave it to Planned Parenthood to reveal their billions of dollars in abortion income on the heels of Mother’s Day weekend,” remarked American Life League national director Katie Brown Xavios, calling the move “horrifically inappropriate.” “We didn’t need any other concrete...

Planned Parenthood released its 2023-2024 annual report on Monday, and it shows that Planned Parenthood continues to perform a record number of abortions. The service figures in this latest annual report cover October 1, 2022, to September 30, 2023. This report is the first full account following the June 2022 U.S. Supreme Court decision in Dobbs v. Women’s Health Services that overturned Roe v. Wade. The report shows that Planned Parenthood performed 402,230 abortions, or about 4 of every 10 abortions nationwide, and that abortions outnumbered prenatal care 57 to 1. “Planned Parenthood performed a record number of abortions and...

Planned Parenthood’s affiliates spent $3.4 million helping women travel for abortion last year, according to a new report from the organization. Planned Parenthood is the nation’s largest abortion provider. Nationwide, its facilities aborted more than 400,000 unborn children last year. Planned Parenthood’s annual report for 2024 brags that its affiliates spent $3.4 million helping more than 12,500 women travel for abortion under its “patient navigation program.” Planned Parenthood’s regional affiliate owns facilities in Little Rock and Rogers. However, Arkansas’ good, pro-life laws generally prevent those facilities from performing abortions. But last summer, Family Council learned Planned Parenthood had secretly acquired...

Many parents believe sex education is simply part of a standard education, but a closer look at its origins paints a disturbing picture of its true nature. Few are aware that some of the power players in sex education today have an extensive history with the porn industry, direct ties to a researcher who recruited pedophiles for his ‘research,’ and ties to a man who wanted to destigmatize bestiality. Many of the founders and originating leaders of SIECUS (originally known as the Sexuality Information and Education Council of the United States) — a member of the Future of Sex Education...

The story of a woman who drove over 700 miles to Albuquerque, New Mexico, intending to obtain an abortion but ultimately choosing life for her unborn child is a powerful testament to the sanctity of life and the impact of compassionate pro-life outreach. The woman, whose identity remains private, embarked on this long journey from another state, likely from Texas and driven the easy accessibility of abortion in New Mexico, where abortions are legal up to birth. This story highlights the importance of offering support and alternatives to abortion. Upon arriving in Albuquerque, the woman encountered a group of peaceful,...

Planned Parenthood used Mother’s Day weekend to release its 2023-2024 annual report revealing a staggering 402,230 abortions during that year — the most the corporation has ever reported to date. This is an increase of 2.42% from the 392,715 abortions Planned Parenthood reported last year. As Congress debates whether to defund Planned Parenthood, this newly released annual report shows that taxpayer dollars granted to Planned Parenthood (for the year ending June 30, 2024) have risen by more than 13% from the $699.3 million recorded by Planned Parenthood in 2022-23 to a whopping $792.2 million recorded in 2023-24. Between 2022-23 and...

A new undercover investigation by Live Action confirms just how easy it is to obtain cross-sex hormones from Planned Parenthood — even for minors. An undercover journalist posing as a 16-year-old female called Planned Parenthood facilities offering ‘transgender services’ in eight one-party consent states/territories —Minnesota, Oregon, Maine, New York, New Jersey, New Mexico, Colorado, and Washington, D.C. How quickly can someone get cross-sex hormones? Staff at seven of the 33 facilities contacted confirmed they would prescribe cross-sex hormones at the first appointment, even virtually. A video highlighting the undercover calls shows that at the Planned Parenthood in Mankato, Minnesota, staff...

The Trump administration has fully implemented the defunding of the UNFPA that it announced back in March and announced today that no new funding will the directed to it. And the pro-abortion agency is unhappy. As LifeNews reported then, Trump has ordered the defunding of the UNFPA, a United Nations population control agency which promotes abortions worldwide. This is a continuation of his pro-life policy from his previous administration. In 2017, Trump signed an executive order defunding the UN population group because it pushes abortions on other countries and has worked with China for decades to implement its forced abortion...

Pro-life lawmakers from across the country are demanding that Congress put an end to federal funding for Planned Parenthood, calling on Republicans to use their “trifecta” in Washington. The letter, sent to Senate Majority Leader John Thune, House Speaker Mike Johnson, Idaho Senator Mike Crapo and Kentucky Rep. Brett Guthrie and signed by 183 legislators, urges Republican leadership to include a measure to defund “Big Abortion” in the budget reconciliation bill, which is scheduled for markups on Tuesday. Planned Parenthood rakes in tens of millions from taxpayers every year, according to its annual reports, while performing about 400,000 abortions between...

Abortionist Christine Henneberg revealed in her 2022 memoir that Planned Parenthood trained her to send women with uterine perforations home without treatment, instead of to the hospital. A Perforation is a Life-Threatening Complication A uterine perforation occurs when an abortionist pokes a hole through the uterine wall. Medic-Journal calls a uterine perforation a “formidable complication” that can cause “life-threatening bleeding, peritonitis, [and] loss of reproductive function.” Medic-Journal gives the symptoms of a uterine perforation as “intense pain in the lower abdomen and signs of intra-abdominal bleeding: bloody discharge from the vagina, weakness, dizziness, tachycardia.” It says: Untimely diagnosis of uterine...

Orange, CA – Records obtained by Operation Rescue confirm that on March 21 Planned Parenthood sent another hemorrhaging woman to the emergency room. This time, from its killing center located in Orange, CA. Planned Parenthood Orange commits abortions up to 24 weeks, well into the second trimester, and it has a history of rushing women to the emergency room after botched abortions. In the last five years, alone, it has injured 11 women – and never had to face any investigation or discipline for even one of those incidents in radically pro-abortion California. In 2024, Operation Rescue also obtained 911...

Omaha, NE – A 38-year-old woman was urgently transferred to the hospital after undergoing a dilation and curettage (D&C) abortion at the Planned Parenthood in Omaha, Nebraska, on February 3, 2025. According to 911 records secured by Operation Rescue, the woman was experiencing “heavier bleeding.” The 911 dispatcher, seeking to assess the urgency of the situation, asked the caller whether the bleeding was “pouring” or “squirting”—terms used to determine the potential for life-threatening hemorrhage. The clinic employee hesitated and then chuckled, saying she wasn’t “all the way down that end” to observe the bleeding directly. Such a careless attitude raises...

From 2021 to 2022, abortions, not screenings, made up approximately 97 percent of Planned Parenthood’s ‘pregnancy resolution services.’Planned Parenthood, the biggest abortion provider in the nation, wants Congress, its donors, and its allies in the corporate media to believe that its existence is necessary to deliver health care to women in need. A new analysis from the Charlotte Lozier Institute, however, found that community health-care centers with resources devoted to women’s health instead of prioritizing abortion outnumber Planned Parenthood locations 15 to one.The researchers found that 5,500 federally qualified health centers (FQHCs) across the U.S. provide a “full range of...

As Planned Parenthood has expanded its so-called “gender-affirming care” over the past decade, detransitioners who obtained hormones from the corporation have publicly repudiated Planned Parenthood’s dangerous transgender practices. Planned Parenthood disproportionately targets young people aged 18-22 with its so-called “gender affirming care.” As can be observed by reading stories of detransitioners, most describe having been vulnerable and even struggling with mental illness when they sought “treatment” for gender dysphoria from Planned Parenthood. The cross-sex hormones left some of them with permanent issues. Though the number of people negatively affected by Planned Parenthood’s “gender affirming care” will never be known, some...
