A 26-year-old woman is suing Planned Parenthood after she was left alone following insertion of an intrauterine device (IUD), and fell and broke her neck. Morgan Castro is claiming that she was ignored after telling staffers she was feeling dizzy, were negligent with her care, and that she lost consciousness following the procedure. The lawsuit, which was obtained by the Pro-Life Action League, contains details of the alleged incident. Castro went to a Planned Parenthood facility on LaSalle Drive in Chicago, Illinois to get an IUD inserted. “Following the insertion of the IUD, Morgan felt dizzy,” the lawsuit reads. “Morgan...

Planned Parenthood celebrated the unjust conviction of journalist David Daleiden on Friday after he exposed its alleged illegal sales of aborted baby body parts. “We’re thrilled with today’s verdict,” the abortion chain wrote on Twitter after the jury awarded it approximately $2 million in alleged damages caused by the undercover expose. Attorneys for Daleiden, Sandra Merritt and board members of Center for Medical Progress, which oversaw the undercover investigation, are expected to appeal. Planned Parenthood filed the civil lawsuit accusing them of more than a dozen crimes, including trespassing, breach of confidentiality, wiretapping and conspiracy. The trial is separate from...

Abortion clinics and the businesses that purchase aborted baby parts likely conspired to violate federal laws against fetal human organ trafficking, expert witnesses at a House hearing testified yesterday. Evidence of a widespread market for unborn baby parts — down to the tongue, scalp, eyes — was introduced at a testy hearing of the House Select Panel on Infant Lives. Here are the 11 big takeaways from the hearing chaired by Rep. Marsha Blackburn, (R-TN). 1) Federal Law Prohibits Profiting Off of Aborted Baby Parts In 1993, the House passed the National Institutes of Health Revitalization Act of 1993 with...

CIRCLEVILLE, Ohio (WSYX/WTTE) -- Police were called to a protest at a Planned Parenthood clinic on Lewis Avenue and Court Streets. Anti-abortion demonstrators have been permitted for protesting there for months, but when pro-choice activists showed up last week without a permit, city leaders reminded them of an ordinance that requires a permit. Some anti-abortion protesters put graphic signs near the clinic which offended one mother of a five-year old boy who lives across the street. Angela Shaw-Gellerson said there's no need to get ugly and complained to police about the move from a side-street to in front of her...

A newly released video shows a pro-life activist confronting a pastor who drove his daughter to work at a Northern California Planned Parenthood abortion clinic. Don Blythe has been involved in pro-life ministry for 32 years and regularly witnesses the Gospel outside abortion clinics. In his many years, he has also observed a disconnect in the church regarding abortion. Blythe told Live Action News that there are many church leaders today that are both participating in abortion as well as defending it. He personally confronted one such Pastor who drove his daughter to Planned Parenthood years ago. The interaction was...

Planned Parenthood abortionists Mary Gatter and Deborah Nucatola were outed by the Center for Medical Progress (CMP) whose undercover videos exposed Planned Parenthood’s gruesome baby parts operation. Ironically, they authored a research paper on Digoxin for inducing fetal death prior to second-trimester surgical abortion. Gatter was recorded telling Center for Medical Progress investigators that she wanted a Lamborghini. A look at Planned Parenthood’s compensation for Mary Gatter reveals that they paid her over ONE MILLION DOLLARS in less than 10 years for her work. In the CMP video, the Planned Parenthood Federation of America’s Medical Directors’ Council President, Dr. Mary...

FULL TITLE:South Carolina Wants Ban on Sales of Aborted Baby Parts After Planned Parenthood Caught Selling Them An investigation revealing that South Carolina abortion centers violated state laws is prompting new reforms in the southern state. In the summer, the state launched an investigation of its abortion facilities after a series of undercover videos by the Center for Medical Progress showed top Planned Parenthood officials discussing the sale of aborted babies’ body parts. State officials discovered that all three abortion clinics in South Carolina violated multiple state laws and regulations, including the improper disposal of aborted babies’ bodies, LifeNews reported....

FULL TITLE: BREAKING: StemExpress CEO: We ship ‘a lot’ of ‘intact’ aborted babies’ bodies, lab techs sometimes ‘freak out’ LOS ANGELES, August 25, 2015 (LifeSiteNews) - Planned Parenthood provides "a lot" of "intact" aborted babies' bodies to biological researchers for harvesting and experimentation, the CEO of StemExpress confirmed in a new undercover video released this morning. In a business luncheon recorded on May 22, StemExpress CEO Cate Dyer also says she believes that the sale of aborted babies' body parts has been "profitable" for the abortion industry which, if true, would indicate Planned Parenthood has committed a federal felony. Dyer...

With Planned Parenthood’s back against the wall following the advent of more videos exposing the selling of baby parts, their apologists are growing desperate in their attempts to prevent its defunding. Case in point is Michael Specter, a staff writer at The New Yorker and former New York Times and Washington Post reporter, who spreads the usual counterintuitive spin that defunding Planned Parenthood would actually increase abortions. The headline was “Planned Parenthood Means Fewer Abortions.” A few years ago, Specter wrote a book called Denialism about the dangers of science denial. But he’s in a case of Planned Parenthood denial....

Yesterday abortion giant Planned Parenthood’s website went down. The organization that harvests baby parts is blaming the website crash on “extremists” however they have not named any groups or persons. Planned Parenthood has been highly criticized after the group The Center for Medical Progress released several under cover videos showing their top doctors haggling over the price of baby organs harvested after abortions. ****WARNING GRAPHIC IMAGES ON LINK**** A recent video uploaded by CMP showed inside a Planned Parenthood Path Lab. The video showed behind the scenes of the abortion clinic including graphic images of the babies being dissected by...

Americans are paying more attention to the dirty deeds at Planned Parenthood than ever before now that the abortion business has been caught twice selling the body parts of aborted babies. Included in that additional attention is a concern about corporate contributions by large companies and organizations to the abortion giant. As LifeNews reported yesterday, three such companies have indicated they no longer donate to Planned Parenthood after they had been listed on both Planned Parenthood’s web site as corporate funders and pro-life lists of companies that support Planned Parenthood. Those included Coca-Cola, Xerox and Ford Motor Company. SIGN THE...

Today, Center for Medical Progress released its second video exposing Planned Parenthood’s illegal participation in aborted baby parts trafficking, as the current headline on Drudge indicates (which links to this LifeNews.com story).View the video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MjCs_gvImyw As this investigation continues to grab more of the public attention than any investigation to date, here are key talking points: 1. Planned Parenthood abortionist Mary Gatter (in latest video), Medical Director of Planned Parenthood Pasadena and San Gabriel Valley in California, is clearly haggling over the price of baby parts. She admits Planned Parenthood doesn’t “have to do anything” yet still gets paid,...

Planned Parenthood’s mega funding from the federal coffers might be – might be — in a bit of danger. I don’t honestly think it’s in all that much danger. Planned Parenthood has weathered worse. Several times. But the video of their medical director swilling wine, chomping on salad and discussing the sale of body parts from babies that she’s aborted is … ummmm … damaging to their claim of being all about women’s health and whatnot. Abortion apologists — who, as luck would have it, usually turn out to also be euthanasia, egg harvesting, embryonic stem cell research apologists, as...
