Fairfax County Public School teachers have been helping students obtain abortions without the knowledge and consent of their parents, according to a whistleblower who recently exposed the scandal.
Now, the school district is claiming they just learned of the matter, even though the whistleblower, Centrevile High School teacher Zenaida Perez, had brought it to their attention on multiple occasions.
On a recent morning, Centreville High School teacher Zenaida Perez had a surprise visitor at the northern Virginia school where she teaches English as a second language: a high-powered lawyer investigating allegations that Perez had made public that a school social worker coaxed and funded a student’s 2021 abortion.
The Clifton school district’s superintendent, Michelle Reid, responded to the allegations the next day, claiming the school system had just “learned yesterday” about the potential scandal. Last Thursday, Reid emailed Centreville High School parents, again claiming that the district had taken “immediate action to engage an external independent investigator to get all the facts.”
Perez’s visitor was Mary McGowan, a retired lawyer from Blankingship & Keith, a longtime go-to firm for Fairfax County Public Schools. In a nearly three-hour interview, Perez told McGowan how she had blown the whistle seven times about the abortion scandal since May 2022, only to be ignored and then retaliated against.
As Planned Parenthood shutters brick-and-mortar facilities, it is driving clients to its new online services business model which increasingly relies upon telehealth – including the mailing of abortion pills. Its “Virtual Health Centers (VHCs)” are popping up across the country as part of a larger restructuring plan put in place years ago.
Key takeaways
In 2020, Planned Parenthood began offering telehealth services at all of its affiliates (49 at the time).
The pressure to remain financially solvent has driven Planned Parenthood to create and expand its Virtual Health Clinics as well.
Though multiple affiliates have announced the closures of brick-and-mortar facilities, many of those affiliates have also announced the expansion of their telehealth offerings and launch of Virtual Health Clinics.
(LifeSiteNews) — Human rights advocacy group ADF International has criticized a pro-abortion report that smeared pro-life groups as “religious extremists.”
The report was published in June by the European Parliamentary Forum for Sexual and Reproductive Rights (EPF), an EU-affiliated pro-abortion group funded by the Bill & Melina Gates Foundation and the George Soros’ Open Society Foundations.
The 158-page document is called “The Next Wave: How Religious Extremism Is Reclaiming Power” and claims that “[a] new alliance of religious extremists, far-right populists, and oligarchic funders” is trying to “launder religious extremism into mainstream governance through media, NGOs, political parties, and public institutions.”
Last week, a Baltimore judge rebuffed prosecutors’ calls for jail time for a 28-year-old man who brutally assaulted two senior citizens engaging in pro-life activism outside a Planned Parenthood in Baltimore. Instead, Baltimore Circuit Judge Yvette M.
Bryant sentenced the assailant, Patrick Brice, to a year of home detention and three years of probation. As part of the sentence, Brice must also complete anger management classes, go through drug and alcohol testing, and remain in therapy. Brice was found guilty in February of two counts of second-degree assault and reckless endangerment.
On May 26, 2023, pro-life activists Richard Schaefer and Mark Crosby, who were in their seventies and eighties at the time, were praying and sidewalk counseling outside the Baltimore Planned Parenthood. Brice had an exchange with Schaefer, which turned violent. Brice shoved Schaefer into a flowerpot.
Last Thursday, a Baltimore city circuit judge sentenced Patrick Brice to one year of home detention and three years’ probation after his infamous assault on elderly pro-lifers Mark Crosby and Richard Schaefer.
The grisly assault garnered headlines when on May 26, 2023, Brice, who was 28 years old at the time, savagely battered Crosby, who was 73, and Schaefer, who was 84.
Crosby and Schaefer, who are both devout Catholics, were outside of a Planned Parenthood clinic in downtown Baltimore handing out gift bags to women with information regarding alternatives to abortion.
Brice approached Schaefer and began debating the men over their pro-life views. Schaefer appeared to walk away when Brice suddenly tackled him into a large flowerpot, knocking the elderly man unconscious.
When Crosby went to help Schaefer, Brice shoved him to the ground, then mounted him and punched him in the face. After standing up, Brice forcefully kicked Crosby in the face.
In the interview for Yahoo News, Michaela said that doctors told her he son would be seriously disabled and have no “quality of life.” She says, “[A]t one point, they told us if he did survive, he’d probably be plugged into a wall and have oxygen, and then basically no quality of life.”
However, at two years old, Tuff has no serious health problems.
In a recent study, researchers at the University of Texas at Austin examined data from Aid Access. This self-identifying “non-profit” telehealth abortion service ships Mifepristone and misoprostol to women in all 50 states. The authors of the study claimed that telemedicine has become a crucial access point for lower-income pregnant women seeking abortions.
Oh, the ignorance of the highly educated.
The study’s glowing headline attempts to frame telehealth abortion as a lifeline for the poor. But when you pull back the curtain, you find a system that offloads risk onto women, shields abortionists from accountability, and leaves some of the most vulnerable in our society alone in pain, sometimes delivering fully formed babies into toilets.
After Roe v. Wade was mercifully overturned in 2022, Aid Access saw usage of its services spike in states with strong pro-life protections. The study found that telehealth abortions were more than twice as high in these states. Why? Abortion providers are skirting protective pro-life laws by mailing pills into states where unfettered abortion is no longer the law of the land.
Thanks to the new federal law defunding America’s biggest abortion business, Planned Parenthood has announced it will close two abortion centers in Ohio.
And the closings will take place even though a Democrat-appointed judge has blocked the federal defunding law.
In July, Planned Parenthood Southwest Ohio Region announced the upcoming closure of its abortion centers in Springfield and Hamilton, which the abortion giant said was “a direct result” of the One Big Beautiful Bill that Congress passed and President Trump signed into law.
“Make no mistake: this was not a decision made by Planned Parenthood Southwest Ohio Region,” said Nan Whaley, President & CEO of the abortion giant. “We took every possible step to keep these centers open, but the devastating impact of state and federal political attacks has forced us into this very difficult position.”
Planned Parenthood will close the centers this week.
Officials with the abortion business confirmed the centers are still closing despite the judge’s ruling because an appeal is expected and the law and its defunding components are expected to be upheld. Thus, if Planned Parenthood gets the tax dollars, there is a possibility it would have to repay them.
When the U.S. Supreme Court overturned the infamous Roe v. Wade decision, Justice Samuel Alito, writing for the majority, declared: “We now overrule those decisions [Roe and Casey] and return that authority to the people and their elected representatives.” Following the Dobbs ruling, several Republicans — including President Trump — said abortion was now in the hands of the states. “The states will determine … whatever they decide must be the law of the state,” Trump insisted.
While I disagree with the notion that abortion should be regulated solely at the state level, the reality is that most pro-life protections have historically been advanced at the state level. During my time in the Louisiana legislature, I authored and passed numerous laws defending the sanctity of life.
Since Dobbs, 41 states have acted to protect the unborn in some form. Twelve now have comprehensive protections beginning at conception, while 28 have established gestational limits.
Yet, despite this, abortion hasn’t decreased. In fact, according to the pro-abortion Guttmacher Institute, abortions have increased more than 10% since Dobbs, rising from roughly 930,000 to over one million annually — more than 2,800 abortions each day.
Oklahoma Gov. Kevin Stitt has issued an executive order that will fully defund Planned Parenthood and any abortion business that would attempt to receive taxpayer funds.
Stitt has issued an executive order blocking Medicaid funds from entities and individuals affiliated with abortion businesses.
“Oklahoma is a pro-life state, and our policies should reflect that at every level of our government,” Stitt said in a news release. “We won’t allow tax dollars to indirectly subsidize and flow into the abortion industry under the guise of women’s health. My order makes sure every public dollar aligns with our values and supports providers who respect life at every stage.”
The executive order issued late Thursday directs the Oklahoma Health Care Authority (OHCA) to terminate and refuse to renew any SoonerCare contracts with entities that perform, refer to or are affiliated with abortion services. SoonerCare is the state’s Medicaid program. This ensures that taxpayer dollars are not directed to abortion companies.
Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey has filed a lawsuit against Planned Parenthood Federation of America in a bold and necessary move to protect women and uphold truth. His charge argues that Planned Parenthood lies to women, and those lies are costing lives.
Bailey’s suit, filed under the Missouri Merchandising Practices Act, accuses the nation’s largest abortion provider of misleading Missouri women about the safety of the abortion pill mifepristone.
For decades, Planned Parenthood has marketed itself as a health care provider and a champion of women’s rights. But behind the pink logos and the slick messaging lies a profit-driven machine that has consistently downplayed the physical, emotional, and spiritual risks of abortion, including chemical abortion. Now, under legal scrutiny, that deception is receiving the pushback it deserves.
According to Bailey’s complaint, Planned Parenthood falsely equated Mifepristone to over-the-counter drugs like Tylenol, misleading women into believing that chemical abortion is a minor and routine procedure. In reality, the risks are anything but minimal.
In a proposed rule filed Friday, the department said that it is seeking to revoke access to abortions and abortion counseling for veterans and the beneficiaries of the Civilian Health and Medical Program of the Department of Veterans Affairs.
“We take this action to ensure that VA provides only needed medical services to our nation’s heroes and their families,” the department said in the filing.
Under the Biden administration’s rule,thedepartment currently provides access to abortions when a pregnant veteran’s life or health is at risk if their pregnancy were carried to term, or if the pregnancy was the result of rape or incest — regardless of state laws.
The proposed rule would allow abortions in cases where “a physician certifies that the life of the mother would be endangered if the fetus were carried to term,” which, according to the filing, had been permitted even before the 2022 expansion.
In a victory for the pro-life movement and states’ rights, a three-judge panel for the Fourth Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals has ruled that West Virginia can enforce its law restricting abortion, rejecting an attempt by a drug manufacturer to override state protections for unborn children.
The ruling in GenBioPro v. Raynes centered on whether federal drug law preempts state abortion restrictions. GenBioPro, the manufacturer of the chemical abortion drug mifepristone, had argued that the Food and Drug Administration’s approval of the drug should override state laws banning or restricting its use. The court disagreed.
The court’s 2-1 decision affirms the authority of states to regulate abortion and other high-risk medications within its borders, even when the drugs in question have federal approval. The panel concluded that the 2007 amendments to the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FDCA) did not strip states of their right to enact minimum safety standards or protect unborn life.
Judge J. Harvie Wilkinson III, writing for the majority, explained that the FDCA “falls well short of expressing a clear intention to displace the states’ historic and sovereign right to protect the health and safety of their citizens and that “Preemption in this instance would upend the federal-state balance by supplanting every state law tangentially touching a federal domain.”
Former physician assistant student is suing college, alleging discrimination and breach of contract
A former student is suing Springfield College for $500,000, alleging the school violated her civil rights and discriminated against her religious beliefs after she was required to observe an abortion procedure.
Alina Thopurathu, an Indian-American Catholic who was studying to be a physician assistant, claims the institution also breached its contract with her when she was kicked out of the program, according to a copy of the lawsuit, obtained by The College Fix.
After expressing concerns about the abortion, she alleges the private Massachusetts college began “sabotaging her stellar academic record,” which ultimately led to her being dismissed.
Her situation was met with support from a national pro-life organization, Students for Life of America.
“The Hippocratic Oath ensures that doctors or those studying to be physicians are guided by the principle- ‘First, do no harm.’ Putting a baby to death violates that oath and violates Life,” spokesperson Michael Allers told The College Fix in a recent email.
Forty Baptist leaders representing 22 states this week delivered a letter to President Trump urging his immediate action to stop the mail-order distribution of the abortion drug mifepristone, which now accounts for more than 60 percent of all U.S. abortions.
The letter outlines how a federal policy–carried over from the Biden administration–continues to allow abortion drugs to be dispensed without an in-person consultation with a doctor or medical professional, placing the health and safety of women at serious risk. It also notes that these drugs are being distributed by mail in violation of the Comstock Act, even into states that have enacted pro-life laws following the historic Dobbs decision. Despite these state laws, the continuation of this federal policy under the Trump administration is effectively nullifying the pro-life laws of these states.

As a worshipper of “choice,” it is carved in stone that the decision must always rest exclusively in the hands of the mother.
If she chooses life over death? Left/right, Coke/Pepsi. What counts is the mother alone had the right to give the thumbs up for life or thumbs down for death and “happened” to pass on death,
The ethical quality of the decision—that she took the life of a helpless baby—is simply not worth discussing. Indeed, we never get to that point because what matter is that the woman made the decision. End of story.
Twenty-two states filed a lawsuit on July 29 challenging a provision in the One Big Beautiful Bill Act that would strip Medicaid funding from Planned Parenthood, the nation’s largest abortion provider.
The lawsuit, filed by attorneys general from Democratic-led states and the governor of Pennsylvania, seeks to block a provision in the legislation that bars organizations providing abortion care and that received more than $800,000 in Medicaid funding in fiscal year 2023 from receiving Medicaid reimbursements. This includes Planned Parenthood health centers.
The states alleged that the provision targeted Planned Parenthood for its abortion advocacy, arguing that it violates the spending clause and First Amendment protections by retaliating against the organization.
The provision would deny low-income individuals access to cancer screenings, testing, and treatment for sexually transmitted infections, and family planning services, according to the lawsuit.
The lawsuit also argues that the provision would cripple the states’ medical healthcare ecosystem and force them to use state funds to keep affected health care centers operational.
A federal appeals court ruled July 24 that a Christian single mother in Oregon is temporarily exempted from a state department rule that had barred her from adopting because she refused to promote gender ideology to adopted children or take them to pride parades.
Legal nonprofit Alliance Defending Freedom (ADF) stated in a news release that the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 9th Circuit decided that the Oregon Department of Human Services’ (ODHS) exclusion of Jessica Bates from the adoption system likely violates the First Amendment. The ruling allows her to begin the adoption process while her lawsuit plays out. ADF is representing Bates, a mother of five, in court.
The contended ODHS policy requires “that prospective parents applying to adopt children from foster care must agree to ‘respect, accept, and support’ the children’s sexual orientation, gender identity, and gender expression,” according to the July 24 ruling.
The House Judiciary Committee released a report July 22 revealing that the Biden-era FBI devoted far more federal law enforcement resources to surveilling Catholics than previously known, while failing to disclose the full extent of its operations to Congress.
Titled “Report: How the Biden-Wray FBI Manufactured a False Narrative of Catholic Americans as Violent Extremists,” the report centers on newly released documents that contradict former FBI Director Christopher Wray’s testimony claiming the anti-Catholic 2023 Richard memo was an isolated incident. That memo, circulated by the FBI’s Richmond Field Office, labeled “radical traditionalist Catholics” as “racially or ethnically motivated violent extremists.”
According to a July 22 press release from the committee, under the leadership of FBI Director Kash Patel, the FBI has turned over more than 1,300 pages of internal documents detailing the agency’s wide-ranging surveillance of Catholics under the Biden administration.
The Planned Parenthood abortion business is closing more centers – with another 5 closing in northern California thanks to the defunding bill President trump signed that took $300 million in taxpayer dollars away from the abortion giant.
California’s Planned Parenthood affiliates, the state’s largest abortion company, have lost $300 million in federal funding following the new federal law that defunds America’s biggest abortion business.
The congressional reconciliation bill, dubbed the “One Big Beautiful Bill Act,” signed by President Donald Trump earlier this month, prohibits Medicaid reimbursements for nonprofit health clinics that kill babies and receive more than $800,000 in federal funding annually, effectively cutting off federal support for California’s 114 Planned Parenthood clinics.
Planned Parenthood Mar Monte announced the closure of five health centers in Northern California and the Central Coast on Thursday, attributing the decision to federal funding cuts enacted through President Donald Trump’s “Big, Beautiful Bill.” The closures, affecting abortion centers in South San Francisco, Gilroy, Seaside, Merced, and North Highlands, mark a significant victory for pro-life advocates who have long sought to redirect taxpayer dollars away from abortion businesses.
Planned Parenthood has just filed a lawsuit in Nevada that seeks to allow the organization to keep teenagers’ abortions hidden from their parents.
For decades, Nevada’s Republican-led legislature has fought to enforce a law requiring that parents be notified before an abortion is performed on a minor.
Now, just as the law is on the verge of enforcement, a lawsuit filed by Planned Parenthood Mar Monte aims to keep the law in legal limbo, claiming that it violates the state’s constitution.
The law, passed in 1985, was immediately met with resistance.
The 9th Circuit Court of Appeals placed it on permanent hold, blocking its enforcement for years.
However, the Supreme Court’s 2022 Dobbs v. Jackson decision, which overturned the nationwide right to abortion, revived the issue, paving the way for the law’s potential enforcement.
(LifeSiteNews) — Yet another front has opened in the cross-border abortion wars. Texas man Jerry Rodriguez has filed a federal wrongful death lawsuit against California doctor Remy Coeytaux, alleging that the physician sent abortion pills by mail to his girlfriend—and that the pills were used to kill his pre-born child.
With the fall of Roe v. Wade, vast underground networks of mail-order abortion pills have been established, with pills being sent from blue states where abortion is legal to red states where pre-born children have state protection. This has launched a flurry of litigation between states, with blue states such as New York vowing to protect abortionists who facilitate feticide across state lines, even when the mail-order pills result in harm to girls and women as well as the intended human target of the medication.
Two Americas are emerging in the post-Roe era. In one, pre-born children are recognized as human beings and entitled to at least some level of protection. In the other, pre-born children are treated as parasites or medical waste, and abortionists are protected by politicians from extradition as they market their wares by mail.
The latest lawsuit, filed on July 20, seeks civil damages against Remy Coeytaux, with Jerry Rodriguez alleging that the doctor violated both state and federal laws. Rodriguez claims that his girlfriend’s ex-husband paid for the pills, and Coeytaux mailed them from California to Texas. His girlfriend, says Rodriguez, took the pills on at least two occasions under pressure from her estranged ex-husband.
The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) is making a bold push to reform the nation’s organ procurement and transplantation system following alarming findings from the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA).
Under the leadership of Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., HHS launched a probe into organ harvesting at hospitals across the country.
The investigation, which focused on organ donation protocols, revealed that some patients were still alive when their organs were harvested.
Grammy-winning R&B singer Victoria Monét revealed she faced pressure from a music executive to have an abortion after an unexpected pregnancy, highlighting a broader issue of coercion that pro-life advocates say affects many women.
In a recent appearance on former First Lady Michelle Obama’s podcast, Monét shared the emotional toll of being presented with a PowerPoint outlining the challenges of motherhood, an experience she said felt like an encouragement to end her pregnancy.
“In retrospect, it was really, really disheartening,” Monét said of the incident. “I had a person on my team, though the intentions were good, really, really hurt my feelings because they made a PowerPoint presentation to me about how difficult it will be for me.”
She recalled the presentation’s finale, which asked, “what’s the rush?”—a statement she interpreted as pressure to abort her unborn child.
The House Ethics Committee released a report on Friday, finding that far-left Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) impermissibly accepted more than $3,700 worth of apparel and accessories and a $35,000 Met Gala ticket for her then-boyfriend, Riley Roberts.
“Despite Representative Ocasio-Cortez’s significant attempts, the Committee found that she failed to fully comply with the Gift Rule by impermissibly accepting a gift of free admission to the 2021 Met Gala for her partner and by failing to pay full fair market value for some of the items worn to the event,” the committee writes in the report that they unanimously voted to issue earlier this week following a years-long investigation.
It can be recalled that AOC made headlines back in 2021 when she sported a glitzy Brother Vellies dress adorned with the words “tax the rich.”
An activist federal judge says Planned Parenthood may have a First Amendment right to challenge a law that deprives it of federal Medicaid dollars.
Massachusetts District Judge Indira Talwani, an Obama appointee, ruled last night that Planned Parenthood can challenge a provision in the recently passed federal budget reconciliation bill which generally prohibits abortion vendors from receiving Medicaid dollars. The judge’s ruling extends a temporary injunction she offered soon after the passage of the bill; in fact, the temporary restraining order was unbelievably fast and unrealistic according to at least one legal scholar.
Much of the ruling reads like a Planned Parenthood news release, with the decision repeating the false claim that only 4% of what the abortion vendor does is abortion. (The corporation used to claim it was 3%).
However, the ruling does not completely stop the defunding of Planned Parenthood. It only applies to Planned Parenthood affiliates who will not be killing babies as of Oct. 1, 2025 and to those who received less than $800,000 in Medicaid payments in fiscal year 2023 (which is part of the law).
The chances of a pregnancy with triplets are rare, and opportunities for pregnancy help organizations to help women pregnant with multiple babies are also rare.
According to 2023 birth data released in March by the Centers for Disease Control, the number of triplet births in America was 2,505 with triplet and higher multiple births averaging 73.8 per 100,000 live births. The number of twin births was more than 110,000, averaging 30.7 per 1,000 live births. And according to RaisingMultiples.org, the chance of a woman in the United States becoming pregnant with triplets is 1 in 6,889, and the chance becoming pregnant with twins is 1 in 83 pregnancies.
A pregnancy medical clinic in Missouri is assisting its second client carrying natural triplets in a decade and is also currently working with another woman pregnant with twins.
Insurrectionist rogue U.S. District Judge Indira Talwani, a Barack Obama appointee, took the law into her own hands in an effort to protect the child murder corporation, Planned Parenthood, from being defunded. The law in question comes from a congressionally passed and presidentially signed law that defunds Planned Parenthood, in essence.
The Judge blocked the provision for 14 days. No arrests have been made following this egregious, unconstitutional ruling. Judgefare continues to erode Americans’ sense of Rule of Law. Pam Bondi remains silent.
Federal Judge, in Planned Parenthood Dispute, Attempts To Override Congress, Trump on Abortion Funding – The New York Sun Source Link Excerpt:
