Another pro-life activist has been sentenced to time in prison for violating the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances (FACE) Act. Sixty-eight-year-old Steven Lefemine of South Carolina was sentenced to 60 days in jail and was fined $1,000 after he was found guilty in March of blocking the entrance of a Planned Parenthood abortion facility on November 15, 2022. He will not be placed on probation. A video played during his trial showed Lefemine refusing to move unless the clinic workers agreed “not to kill babies today.” Though he was originally arrested by local law enforcement, convicted for trespassing by...

Planned Parenthood took the opportunity to draw attention to abortion rights as violent riots have broken out across the country in the wake of George Floyd’s death. The abortion industry giant says the “white supremacy” and “systemic bias in policing” that “took George Floyd’s life” are the same factors involved in “attacks” on women’s abortion rights. Planned Parenthood Black Community tweeted that “the legacy of systemic bias in policing is a public health issue,” which, to Planned Parenthood, includes the right to abortion, or “reproductive justice.” Planned Parenthood’s Acting CEO also tweeted that “white supremacy is in the biases we...

Fairview Heights, IL – After facing possible license revocation in Missouri due to several life-threatening botched abortions at their St. Louis abortion facility, Planned Parenthood of the St. Louis Region and Southwest Missouri recently opened a new surgical abortion facility just across the Mississippi River in Fairview Heights, Illinois. Operation Rescue, with the help of local activists, documented 75 medical emergencies at the old St. Louis clinic. Now, the same Planned Parenthood business is continuing its string of casualties just a few miles away in Illinois, where abortion laws are lax and there is less oversight and accountability. The $7...

A shocking new video has just been released by the Center for Medical Progress, the undercover investigative group that in 2015 released videos showing that Planned Parenthood affiliates have profited from selling the body parts of aborted babies. This latest video is a preview of footage that CMP investigators gathered at the 2014 and 2015 National Abortion Federation conventions, attended by hundreds of members of the abortion industry each year. (The NAF is a major trade group of North American abortion providers, and Planned Parenthood makes up about 50 percent of its members and leadership.) Here are some of the...

This represents the fourth emergency ambulance transport from Planned Parenthood’s flagship New York abortion facility in 2017, and the 17th overall medical emergency documented at Planned Parenthood abortion businesses around the nation this year.

Planned Parenthood is closing half of its six New Mexico clinics amid declining patient visits, but the closures will not affect the availability of abortion procedures, the organization announced Thursday. Sale of some of the clinic buildings, one each in Albuquerque, Rio Rancho and Farmington, could also be used to fund a renovation to the San Mateo site in Albuquerque, which has been solely an abortion procedure center but will add other services.

NEW YORK, May 16, 2017 (LifeSiteNews) – Three members of the Kardashian media enterprise visited the Los Angeles headquarters of Planned Parenthood last week, apparently offering their assistance to the abortion chain. And the visit received a “huge bravo” from the women hosts of The View television program. Kim, Khloe and Kourtney Kardashian stopped by Planned Parenthood Los Angeles on Thursday, according to several news outlets, and the women praised the abortion giant on social media. Much of the coverage suggests the reality TV personalities are getting political, with one report indicating they plan to work with Planned Parenthood in...

A bill that would give parents more say in their children’s sex education passed the Alaska Senate on Friday. Senate Bill 89 requires parental permission for public school students prior to sex education classes, and would allow parents to withdraw their children from sex education and standardized testing. More importantly, the bill bans schools from using educational material from any “abortion services provider,” including Planned Parenthood, which claims it is currently providing education to more than 2,000 children in Alaska. Naturally, Planned Parenthood took exception to the bill – along with a companion bill which lays out penalties for violation...

The House of Representatives will vote Tuesday on the reconciliation bill President Barack Obama vetoed that would de-fund the Planned Parenthood abortion business, which was caught selling the body parts of aborted babies. Hearings have exposed how the abortion company likely violated federal laws to sell the body parts. The measure also repealed the abortion-funding Obamacare legislation and Obama cited that as the primary reason for vetoing the overall bill. The vote override vote comes just days after more than half a million Americans are expected to March for Life in the nation’s capital and solemnly mark the anniversary of...

The state of Louisiana is in court fighting for its right to de-fund the Planned Parenthood abortion business after it was caught selling aborted babies and their body parts. But the Obama administration thinks differently. The Planned Parenthood abortion business has filed a lawsuit against the state of Louisiana after Governor Bobby Jindal made the decision to yank its taxpayer funding. Today, in court papers filed the same day a 9th video showed the abortion company selling aborted babies, the Obama administration sided with Planned Parenthood in the lawsuit. AP has more on the Obama administration’s reaction today: The U.S....

EXETER, NH, August 28, 2015 (LifeSiteNews) — Planned Parenthood in New Hampshire is complaining that state funding cuts mean they have had to cut their hours, prompting cheers from pro-life leaders. New Hampshire became the third state to cut funding to the nation's largest abortion business, after undercover videos revealed officials calmly and jokingly discussing the sale of aborted baby organs -- and how Planned Parenthood abortionists can modify surgical procedures so as to obtain and sell intact aborted babies. As a result of losing some New Hampshire tax funding, Planned Parenthood has announced fewer hours of operation. They say...

FULL TITLE: The Latest Planned Parenthood Video Exposes Potential Infanticide. Start a Criminal Investigation Now The seventh video from the Center for Medical Progress features testimony from Holly O’Donnell, a former procurement technician at StemExpress, a California company that — until recently — acquired (purchased?) aborted baby parts from Planned Parenthood. It’s horrifying. No, it’s beyond horrifying. It describes an act of infanticide that even America’s barbaric child-killing legal regime defines as murder. Her story begins with seeing a baby who’s just been aborted — or at least she thinks it’s been aborted. Then, a colleague calls her over, and...
