The HHS mandate on contraception is based on insufficient research and betrays the committee’s deep pro-contraceptive bias. Read more…

Life Dynamics, a group fighting to return full legal protection to unborn children, has conducted an exhaustive study that validates claims made in its documentary that associates Planned Parenthood with the eugenics movement. Read more…
This is very interesting: the Obama administration is thwarting the will of the people. The big old federal thumb is securely on the scale here, tipping people’s “choices.”
This week President Obama addressed Congress and the American people to lay out his latest plan for job creation.
But actions speak louder than words. And President Obama seems to only care about a few jobs: those at Planned Parenthood. Read more…
There’s a lot in the news about contraception and health care and Planned Parenthood right now. And a lot more that should be.
The scope of this is staggering.
Let’s go through just a few of the many stories. Read more…

In a July 18 New York Times op-ed, Dr. Vanessa Collins, a physician and vice-president of medical affairs for Planned Parenthood Federation of America offers an interesting but erroneous argument for mandating insurance coverage of contraceptives as preventive medicine. Read more…

If you thought Planned Parenthood was active in the courts now, you should see the number of legal challenges it’s launched over the last 20 years. And thanks to Americans United for Life, you can. This week, AUL President Charmaine Yoest released “The Case for Investigating Planned Parenthood.” Since 1973, Planned Parenthood has been actively fighting to overturn common sense policies on everything from parental involvement laws to taxpayer-funded abortion bans. The group’s legal agenda, which has expanded in recent days, should call into question the $363 million in federal funds that Planned Parenthood rakes in each year. Although several states have moved to strike Planned Parenthood from their budgets, Congress still insists on cutting a hefty check to the abortion giant, despite its history of fraud and alleged criminal cover-ups. Obviously, the report hit a nerve, because Planned Parenthood already issued a statement defending itself. Read more…
Planned Parenthood must account for its disregard for the law if it wishes to retain state funding.
In Indiana, Kansas, North Carolina, Texas, and other states, legislators have passed or are considering passing funding restrictions that would bar Planned Parenthood from receiving state and federal healthcare funds. Within hours of Indiana’s Governor, Mitch Daniels, signing a funding restriction into law, Planned Parenthood filed suit and later received support from the Department of Justice for its cause.

Chicago Drops Charges Against Pro-Lifer Allegedly Blocking Access
CHICAGO, July 7, 2011 /Christian Newswire/ — Yesterday, the City of Chicago dismissed its case against Andrew Scholberg, who was arrested while standing outside Family Planning Associates, a late-term abortion facility on the north side of Chicago, for allegedly blocking access to the clinic and violating Chicago’s controversial “mini-FACE” ordinance, a local version of the federal Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances Act (FACE). The complaining witness from the clinic and arresting officer did not appear in court. Read more…

The measure cancels state funds and grants to any operation that provides abortions. According to Mike Fichter of Indiana Right to Life (IRTL), it does even more.
“This bill also declares a state interest in protecting pain-capable unborn children from abortion starting at 20 weeks,” he reports. “This bill opts out Indiana from abortion coverage in state health exchanges under the new federal health law. This bill dramatically improves Indiana’s informed consent provisions in the state.” Read more…

In spite of numerous rulings that favor letting voters decide, the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) has gone to the Mississippi Supreme Court in an attempt to keep the state’s “personhood” measure off the ballot.
The proposed amendment simply states: “The term ‘person’ or ‘persons’ shall include every human being from the moment of fertilization, cloning or the functional equivalent thereof.” But Keith Mason of Personhood USA tells OneNewsNow the ACLU filed the appeal on behalf of Planned Parenthood, the biggest abortion-provider in the country.

The Washington Times has been doing some research into what Planned ‘Parenthood’ does with the billions of tax dollars they have received from us over the years, as well as how well they are able (or willing?) to account for how they’ve been spending our money:
Planned Parenthood’s annual reports show more than $2 billion in government income between 2003 and 2008. The GAO report could account for the expenditure of only $657 million of that amount, relying on information provided by Planned Parenthood in its own Single Audit Act reports. That leaves a huge question mark over the remaining $1.3 billion.
My question is this: If they won’t even tell us what they’re doing with our money, then why in the world should we believe them when they say they aren’t using our tax dollars to perform abortions? (Which would be illegal under current law, by the way.)
Rita Diller comes to the appropriate conclusion at the end of her article:
It is time to strip all government funding from the nation’s largest abortion chain now.
from LifeNews.com:
HB 2416 bans the practice of abortion via webcam, also known as telemedicine. Considering the well-documented dangers of abortion pills, women should be able to meet in person with a doctor before ingesting a dangerous chemical… Abortion-via-webcam is just another example of how Planned Parenthood and the abortion industry are concerned with their bottom line instead of women’s health & safety.
Planned Parenthood has been caught in an apparent misstatement.
Pressure is on in Congress to approve what is being called the “Pence Amendment” — legislation that calls for defunding the nation’s largest abortion-provider. Planned Parenthood executive director Cecile Richards made the following statement recently on Joy Behar’s television program: Read more…
National Right to Life News:
PPFA often argues that increased funding will enable them to reduce the numbers of abortion. The problem is their own organizational reports don’t seem to show that.The amount that Planned Parenthood has gotten from federal, state, and local governments has been increasing steadily over the past several years, more than doubling since 1998, but abortions done at Planned Parenthood have not gone down. In fact, they have increased dramatically during that same period, rising at a rate … that very nearly matches the rate of those funding increases (see chart).
This video was made by the White Rose Project. Who are they? From their video description:
In 1942, a group of students from the University of Munich began a campaign to shine the light of truth in Nazi Germany. The White Rose was a movement to educate the citizens Germany and prick their conscious about the atrocities ravaging their country.
Though the danger was great, these students were determined to be a voice for victims of the Nazi Holocaust by educating the people of Germany. The White Rose believed the German people needed to know the truth and risked their lives to call them from apathy to action.
In 2011, a collection of American Pro-life Youth have come together in the face of the abortion holocaust that has been plaguing our nation. We have seen the need to shine the light of truth and activate the youth of America to rise up and take a stand. Read more…
