Trump Admin Defunds 16 Planned Parenthood Abortion Centers in 9 States– www.lifenews.com

Excerpt:

The Trump administration is withholding tens of millions of dollars from Planned Parenthood facilities, according to an exclusive breaking news article published by POLITICO on the evening of Monday, March 31.

According to POLITICO, nine Planned Parenthood state affiliates that receive federal money from the 55-year-old Title X family planning program received a letter on Monday announcing that their funding is being “temporarily withheld” for “possible violations” of federal civil rights law and President Donald Trump’s executive orders — including prohibitions on the promotion of diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI).

Funding is also being withheld, according to the article, because the organization “overtly encourages illegal aliens to receive care.”

 

Abortion Activists Freak Out Because Gen Z is Becoming More Pro-Life– www.lifenews.com

Excerpt:

You have to put it altogether to appreciate why the pro-abortion website rewire news group would run a story under the stern headline “Anti-Abortion Advocacy Is Rising on College Campuses.”

We already know that as a generalization, Gen Z—18 to 29— is the most conservative age group in decades. We also know that pro-abortion Vice President Kamala Harris barely beat President Trump, 52% to 46% among Gen Z voters but that 57% of men under 30 voted for Mr. Trump.

Newsweek’s Adeola Adeosun reported

Recent AtlasIntel polling shows President Trump’s approval rating among 18–29-year-olds has climbed to 52.7 percent in February, marking a substantial improvement [23 percentage points] since his January inauguration.

This demographic transformation challenges long-held Democratic Party assumptions about younger generations forming an “ascendant majority” that would secure their electoral future.

The conservative trend among Gen Z voters—especially young men—appears to be solidifying during Trump’s second term, potentially reshaping American politics for years to come.

Planned Parenthood Oral Arguments Will Further Expose Abortion Giant’s Filth– thefederalist.com

Excerpt:

This Wednesday, the United States Supreme Court will hear oral arguments in Medina v. Planned Parenthood South Atlantic, a case that exposes how Planned Parenthood, the nation’s largest provider of abortions, has become increasingly cavalier with taxpayer dollars. The court will look at how Medicaid funds are funneled toward promoting and performing abortions, all while putting the lives of vulnerable women at risk.

In 2016, Dr. Phillip Hawley, hospice physician and former assistant professor of clinical pediatrics at the University of Southern California Keck School of Medicine, wrote: “Reason alone tells us that human life is special and we have a duty to protect one another. And that duty is especially strong when dealing with those in a weakened and vulnerable state.”

But for Planned Parenthood, human life is not special. It is merely a commodity to be disposed of in order to make money — and lots of it.

Meanwhile, there is a growing amount of evidence showing how Planned Parenthood has used the massive government funding it receives to promote abortion and “gender transitions” while financially starving its “clinics” and making them unsafe for both the woman and her preborn child.

Crime pays, especially when it’s legal, just ask the CEOs of Planned Parenthood affiliates, who are making more than $300K a year to murder babies. Not to be outdone, the CEO of Planned Parenthood, Alexis McGill Johnson, was paid nearly $1 million dollars to oversee the murdering of the unborn and the selling of the body parts of the murdered victims.

The highest-paid employees at numerous affiliates that belong to the tax-exempt nonprofit known as Planned Parenthood made more money than Dr. Anthony Fauci — and the national CEO made nearly twice as much, according to figures supplied in a new investigative report.

The American Life League (ALL) examined the salaries which the nation’s largest abortion business, the Planned Parenthood Federation of America (PPFA), paid its national officers, as well as the chief executive officers of its 49 national affiliates. In all, 13 PPFA employees or CEOs of its regional franchises took home more money than Fauci.

The federal government paid Dr. Anthony Fauci, then-director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), $434,312 in 2020 — the year he advocated the United States close all but “essential” businesses in response to the COVID-19 outbreak. (While many states shuttered all houses of worship, they deemed Planned Parenthood’s abortion facilities an essential business.) Fauci received another $480,654 in 2022, his last full year before retirement.

Excerpt:

Planned Parenthood has admitted that the abortion pill can be dangerous. This was pointed out by American Life League in what its national director Katie Brown Xavios labeled a “rare moment of honest transparency.”

“Planned Parenthood has confirmed the dangers that American Life League has been warning about for decades. No, abortion pills are NOT safe, especially when they come from an unregulated source,” stated Xavios. “The irony in all this falls on the fact that Planned Parenthood themselves refer women directly to these online vendors that send pills recklessly and without any authorization or regulation. But let’s not forget, even the ‘safest’ pills still result in a dead baby. The business of abortion pills is never safe, for mom or for baby, and Planned Parenthood is to blame.”

“Since the Supreme Court’s Dobbs decision, we have seen the status of abortion in the U.S. change dramatically,” said Carol Tobias, president of National Right to Life. “Many states have enacted laws to protect unborn children and their mothers from the tragedy of abortion.”

Tobias continued, “Pro-life education and legislative efforts are making an impact on our culture and in the lives of women facing unexpected pregnancies. But there is still much to be done.”

US Navy, Coast Guard end abortion funding after Trump executive order– www.lifesitenews.com

Excerpt:

In 2022, the Pentagon said it would pay for service members’ abortion-related travel. Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin stated that the overturning of Roe v. Wade, along with pro-life laws in some states, would affect “readiness, recruiting, and retention implications” for the U.S. military. Therefore, service members and their defendants would be reimbursed for expenses incurred when seeking induced abortions to intentionally end the lives of their preborn children.

After President Donald Trump was inaugurated for the second time in January, he issued an executive order reinforcing the Hyde Amendment, which prevents federal dollars from funding most abortions. As a result, the DOD released a memo confirming it would no longer fund abortion-related travel.

Earlier in March, the Navy announced it would halt abortion-related leave and funding for abortion travel, following the DOD directive. Now, in a memo, the Coast Guard has also confirmed that abortion travel expenses will not be reimbursed, and Coast Guardsmen will not be granted administrative leave for abortion.

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton has announced the arrests of a woman and man for allegedly operating an illegal abortion network.

“Individuals killing unborn babies by performing illegal abortions in Texas will be prosecuted to the full extent of the law, and I will not rest until justice is served,” Paxton said in a press release. “I will continue to fight to protect life and work to ensure that anyone guilty of violating our state’s pro-life laws is held accountable.”

On March 17 Paxton announced the arrest of 48-year-old Maria Margarita Rojas — known as “Dr. Maria” — for “providing illegal abortions and illegally operating a network of clinics” near northwest Houston. The next day, he announced the arrest of 29-year-old Jose Manuel Cendan Ley for “the unlawful performance of an abortion and the unlicensed practice of medicine.” Rojas also faces charges for “practicing medicine without a license.”

CatholicVote, Students for Life Action, and Americans United for Life are among the other advocacy groups that added their names to the list.

The March 13 letter was sent to the Republican members of the Members of the House of Representative Judiciary Committee. The letter follows President Donald Trump’s pardon of 23 peaceful pro-lifers who were targeted by President Joe Biden’s administration, and asks the committee to mark up and pass Rep.

Texas Attorney General has announced the arrest of the first abortionist under Texas’ Pro Life law. The accused abortionist is 48-year-old Maria Margarita Rojas, who calls herself a “doctor,” though apparently, she is a midwife.

Paxton said of the arrest, “In Texas, life is sacred. I will always do everything in my power to protect the unborn, defend our state’s pro-life laws, and work to ensure that unlicensed individuals endangering the lives of women by performing illegal abortions are fully prosecuted.

Abortion Activists Celebrate People Who Kill Babies With “Abortion Provider Appreciation Day”– www.lifenews.com

Excerpt:

Today is the day leftists celebrate baby killers.

Today is “Abortion Provider Appreciation Day,” a day the Abortion Care Network claims Americans should celebrate “all of the courageous, compassionate people who provide abortion care.”

The pro-abortion network specifically recommends that supporters celebrate abortionists “through love notes, art, acts of kindness and support, messages of affirmation, a giant love-fest Tweetstorm, and more.”

Established in 1996 this day is framed by its supporters as a celebration of courage and compassion. They laud abortion providers as heroes who ensure “reproductive freedom” and access to what they call healthcare. But from a pro-life perspective, this commemoration is a tragic mischaracterization, one that glosses over the fundamental reality of what abortion entails: the deliberate ending of innocent human lives.

Biden’s Attempt to Force State to Kill Babies in Abortions Goes Down in Flames– www.lifenews.com

Excerpt:

The Trump administration has dropped a Biden-era lawsuit that attempted to force Idaho health care practitioners to perform emergency abortions despite the state’s near-total abortion ban. By dropping the lawsuit, the federal government will no longer attempt to usurp the state’s pro-life law and force abortions.

President Donald Trump’s Department of Justice (DOJ) filed a stipulation of dismissal letter Wednesday in an Idaho federal court stating that both parties in the case, the federal government and the State of Idaho, agreed to the dismissal of all the claims brought against Idaho’s abortion law. The agreement effectively cancels the case known as Idaho v. United States and dissolves an injunction blocking the state from fully enforcing its abortion law.

Under the previous administration, the DOJ sued Idaho claiming that its “Defense of Life Act,” which forbids abortion except to save the life of the mother or in cases of rape or incest, violated the federal Emergency Medical Treatment and Labor Act (EMTALA). The 1986 EMTALA statute mandates hospitals provide stabilizing treatment at emergency rooms even if patients cannot afford to pay. Biden’s DOJ somehow rationalized that EMTALA’s “stabilizing care” provision included abortions and required doctors to perform them under a broader set of exceptions than just to preserve the life of the mother. Biden argued that its interpretation of EMTALA should prevail over state abortion laws and that abortions must be performed when patients request

Attorney General Faces Impeachment for Targeting Pro-life Centers– www.dailysignal.com

Excerpt:

The New Jersey attorney general is facing impeachment, in part, for allegedly targeting pregnancy resource centers for investigation because of their pro-life stance and for demanding the names of their staff and donors in the process.

Republicans in the New Jersey Assembly filed articles of impeachment against Attorney General Matthew Platkin on Thursday. They accused him of targeting “certain organizations based upon the political beliefs of the organization, specifically pro-life pregnancy centers.”

The resolution refers to Platkin targeting First Choice Women’s Resource Centers, which has five locations in the state.

Platkin demanded documents and information from First Choice last year, including the names of staff and the identities of its donors. The attorney general brought the investigation under multiple statutes, but most notably under the Consumer Fraud Act, according to Alliance Defending Freedom legal counsel Gabriella McIntyre.

Excerpt:

Ohio’s “pro-choice” lawmakers believe they’re owning the Right by proposing a bill that would ban men from ejaculating during sex without the intent of making babies.

Democrat State Representatives Anita Somani and Tristan Rade are desperately trying to make some kind of gotcha argument against abortion bans by demanding men pay a fine up to $10,000 if they’re caught doing so.

That’s why they introduced “The Conception Begins at Erection Act” this week, attempting to twist the factual pro-life slogan, “life begins at conception” into some kooky radical theory.

Of course, members of the “LGBTQ” alphabet brigade are exempt from this law. Your right to butt hump is still protected!

“The whole entire point of this bill wasn’t to get it passed,” admitted Rade in an interview with ABC 6.

NEW: Ohio lawmakers have proposed a new law that bans men from ejaculating without intent of conception, would fine men up to $10,000 per ejaculation.

Instead, it is to “call out the hypocrisy of, particularly, the state legislator when they bring forward the bills to regulate women’s bodies,” he reasoned in some flimsy straw man that compares killing babies to the simple act of jerking off.

“If you’re going to penalize someone for an unwanted pregnancy, why not penalize the person who is also responsible for the pregnancy?” Somani questioned in a statement obtained by the New York Post.

Their attempt at witticism falls short when you read that argument back to them: Murdering your preborn child is justified if you didn’t want it. The father should instead be punished for helping create the life you stole??

But logic is a foreign concept to these adult children who are applauding themselves for wasting the state’s time, money and resources to make an edgy statement.

“This may be considered a waste of money by some people,” admitted Rade. But who cares about those taxpaying commoners simply trying to commute to work without running over potholes, when you can use their money to lecture them!

“We have had far bigger misuse of taxpayer money,” she reasoned. (Like progressives funneling hundreds of thousands of USAID dollars toward transgender operas, DEI musicals overseas and condoms overseas?)

Maybe it should only be illegal for their ilk of kooks to reproduce.

After Dobbs, the maternal mortality rate is down– www.washingtonexaminer.com
Source Link
Excerpt:

The public has been sold the lie that abortion keeps women safe and, by extension, reduces maternal mortality rates. We’ve been told lack of access to so-called reproductive care will kill women. During the 2024 election season, the Harris-Walz campaign pointed to President Donald Trump as a threat to women based on abortion. The data tell a different story.

Abortion lies, not abortion bans, have caused harm to women, and the maternal mortality rate is actually decreasing. Data published this month by the National Center for Health Statistics show the 2023 maternal mortality rate in the United States was “18.6 deaths per 100,000 live births.” This is a total of 669 deaths. In 2022, the rate was 22.3, which resulted in a total of 817 deaths.

Sadly, the U.S. has the highest rate of maternal deaths among developed nations. In the United Kingdom, for example, the maternal mortality rate for 2021-2023 was 12.67 per 100,000 live births. There is much work to be done to reduce our rate even further. However, a decrease is worth mentioning during a time when fearmongering is so prevalent.

President Trump Stops Taxpayer-Funded Abortion– www.lifenews.com
Source Link
Excerpt:

Last week, President Donald Trump reversed the Biden administration’s radical agenda of using federal taxpayer dollars to fund abortion by signing a memorandum that reinstates the Hyde Amendment and the Mexico City Policy.

The Hyde Amendment bars taxpayer dollars from being used to fund elective abortions domestically and the Mexico City Policy prohibits federal funding for international organizations that advance abortion abroad, such as International Planned Parenthood and United Nations Population Fund.

The Hyde Amendment, first enacted in 1976, is an annual legislative provision included in federal spending bills to prevent American taxpayer dollars from directly funding abortions except in the rare cases of rape, incest, or to save the mother’s life. According to a 2016 report by the Charlotte Lozier Institute, the amendment is estimated to have saved more than 2 million lives by its 40th anniversary. President Trump’s memorandum stated that the Biden administration circumvented this “longstanding commonsense policy” with two executive orders of his own that categorized abortion as “health care” making abortion facilities eligible for federal aid, and then “imposed a whole-of-government effort” to embed taxpayer dollars into funding elective abortion.

As pro-life activists await pardons from President Donald Trump, a key Republican member of Congress is introducing legislation targeting the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances (FACE) Act.

Republican Texas Rep. Chip Roy introduced a bill Tuesday to repeal the FACE Act, which “prohibits threats of force, obstruction and property damage intended to interfere with reproductive health care services.”

“Now that we have a Republican trifecta in the House, Senate, and White House, Congress should move quickly to repeal this law and ensure that no future president can weaponize it against pro-lifers ever again,” Roy said in a statement.

“Free Americans should never live in fear of their government targeting them because of their beliefs,” Roy has said. “Yet, Biden’s Department of Justice has brazenly weaponized the FACE Act against normal, everyday Americans across the political spectrum, simply because they are pro-life.”

“Our Constitution separates power between the federal government and the states for a reason, and we ignore that safeguard at our own peril,” he added. “The FACE Act is an unconstitutional federal takeover of state police powers; it must be repealed.”

The bill comes as 21 pro-life advocates like Bevelyn Williams await a prdon from President Trump.

Pro-Life Accounts Restored on Facebook and Instagram Days After Letter From Attorneys– www.lifenews.com

Excerpt:

Last week, Meta restored wrongfully suspended Facebook and Instagram accounts for pro-life news site LifeNews.com, LifeNews CEO and editor Steven Ertelt, and potential adoptive mom Abby Covington.

The move came days after Alliance Defending Freedom sent a letter to Meta calling on the social media giant to reverse its deeply flawed decisions to ban the accounts for weaponizing its standards against “human exploitation” and “child sexual exploitation.”

Meta’s restoration of the specific accounts also comes in the immediate wake of CEO Mark Zuckerberg’s announcement of major changes at the company—including a badly needed series of improvements and clarifications to its content moderation policies. In both his video announcement on Meta, and his appearance on the Joe Rogan Experience later in the week, Zuckerberg critiqued his company’s overly broad content moderation standards that have opened the door for vast censorship of political and religious views like those expressed by Ertelt and Covington. Those policies are in large part responsible for Meta’s low 15% of a possible 100% tally on ADF’s 2024 Viewpoint Diversity Score Business Index, which measures corporate respect for free speech and religious liberty.
