VIDEO: Celebrities supporting MeToo ignore that Planned Parenthood aids abusers

The MeToo and TimesUp movement have so far been silent, refusing to condemn the decades-long complicity of Planned Parenthood in failing to report child sexual abuse, highlighted in Live Action’s recently released Aiding Abusers docuseries. Live Action’s Aiding Abusers report includes horrific accounts of child sexual abuse compiled from criminal court cases, civil lawsuits, news reports, and health department reports — some previously published in the public record by other pro-life and legal organizations — as well as newer cases which detail how victims as young as 12 were taken to Planned Parenthood for abortions, and then returned to their abusers for additional abuse.

The latest video release from Live Action draws attention to those who claim to stand with women who have been victims of abuse, but lend their voices in support of an organization which aids abusers and traffickers. It features contrasting statements from celebrities and supporters of Planned Parenthood, driving home the idea that “If you support Time’s Up and Me Too… then you can’t support Planned Parenthood.”

President Trump’s SCOTUS Pick Judge Brett Kavanaugh Will Need Your Help!

The National Right to Life Committee (NRLC) commended President Donald Trump for his decision to nominate Judge Brett Kavanaugh of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia to fill the U.S. Supreme Court seat soon to be vacated by the retirement of Justice Anthony Kennedy.

“All too often, democratically enacted laws to protect unborn children and other vulnerable humans have been overridden by judges who abuse their power to impose their own policy preferences,” said Carol Tobias, president of National Right to Life. “Judge Kavanaugh’s record, viewed as a whole, indicates a willingness to enforce the rights truly based on the text and history of the Constitution, while otherwise leaving policymaking in the hands of elected legislators.”

“Judge Kavanaugh is exceptionally well qualified to sit on the U.S. Supreme Court – and like Neil Gorsuch, he will be subjected to a smear campaign by those on the Left who are addicted to the imposition of social policy by judicial decree,” commented Douglas Johnson, senior policy advisor to National Right to Life.

The pro-abortionists and the far-left wing have already announced they will spend millions of dollars to fight to block Judge Kavanaugh’s confirmation.

In the history of the right-to-life movement, there has never been a more important time for us to come together and stand united.

Life Legal Defense Foundation Has Planned Parenthood Cornered In Body Part Trafficking Case

Life Legal has backed Planned Parenthood into a corner over its illegal trafficking in baby parts. In two weeks, Planned Parenthood will have to explain to Magistrate Judge Donna Ryu of California's Northern District why it has refused to respond to interrogatories from Life Legal on behalf of the Center for Medical Progress.

Planned Parenthood Federation of America (PPFA) and several Planned Parenthood affiliates sued CMP and its founder, David Daleiden, two and a half years ago in federal district court, asserting fifteen claims ranging from racketeering to invasion of privacy. Their lawsuit alleges that the videos showing Planned Parenthood doctors callously discussing the price of baby parts were "misleadingly edited" to make it appear that Planned Parenthood clinics were violating federal and state laws against profiting from the sale of fetal parts. Planned Parenthood claims it brought the lawsuit to "further expose the falsity" of the videos and recover millions of dollars in damages for the alleged harm the videos caused to Planned Parenthood by CMP's allegations of criminal activity. According to Planned Parenthood, all that's needed to prove their case is their own statement that they did not make much money relative to the size of their organization.

"Planned Parenthood is mounting the 'millionaire shoplifter' defense," said Life Legal Executive Director Alex Snyder. "They claim that their affiliates are so rich, they could not possibly have a profit motive for violating federal law, and therefore the CMP videos must be false. The court should see through this specious reasoning and order Planned Parenthood to provide documentation of its baby body parts revenue and expenses."

The matter will be heard on July 19 at the Federal Courthouse in Oakland, California.

Trump nominates Brett Kavanaugh to Supreme Court

Brett Kavanaugh is Donald Trump’s choice to succeed the pro-abortion, pro-gay Justice Anthony Kennedy on the U.S. Supreme Court, the president announced Monday night.

Kavanaugh has the enthusiastic support of many conservative legal commentators and a reputation for rooting his decisions in the plain text and original understanding of the Constitution. However, some pro-lifers remain wary.

Illinois taxpayer-funded abortions increase at least 274 percent in first six months of 2018

Illinois taxpayers paid for nearly four times more abortions in the first six months of 2018 than the year before and one state lawmakers expects the total number to eventually be much larger.

Records of the number of abortion reimbursement requests Illinois News Network obtained through an open records request from the Illinois Department of Health and Family Services showed 84 abortions from January to June last year. The same time period this year, there were 314 abortions. That’s a 274 percent increase of taxpayer-funded abortions.

Diamond & Silk slam Democrats: They fight for immigrant children but not preborn babies

The conservative video blogging duo Lynette Hardaway and Rochelle Richardson, AKA Diamond and Silk, took aim at the double standard of the Democrat Party’s pro-abortion stance Friday in their latest fiery video commentary.

Early on in the video, Lynette “Diamond” Hardaway blasted the “Dummy-crats” for “fighting in the streets hard to abolish ICE, but they did not fight to end slavery, to abolish slavery.” Shortly afterward, Rochelle “Silk” Richardson followed up by declaring that "Democrats fight for separation of babies from their mothers’ breasts, but refuse to fight for the innocent children being separated from their mothers’ womb.”

Arkansas AG appeals decision thwarting state’s law regulating chemical abortions

To Arkansas State Attorney General Leslie Rutledge’s great credit, each and every time Planned Parenthood of the Great Plains wins an injunction from U.S. District Judge Kristine Baker, Rutledge immediately files an appeal.

On Monday, roughly a half hour after Judge Baker’s previous restraining order against Arkansas’ “Abortion-Inducing Drugs Safety Act” expired, Baker issued a preliminary injunction. This action came exactly 32 days after the United States Supreme Court, without comment, allowed Arkansas to enforce Act 577.

On Thursday, the attorney general’s office filed notice that the state is appealing.

Arkansas’ law, which is, as the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette’s Linda Satter explained, “a section of Act 577 of 2015,” requires abortion clinics providing chemical abortifacients to have a contract with another physician with admitting privileges at a local hospital who agrees to handle any complications. The injunction was similar to the one Judge Baker issued in March 2016 which a three-judge panel of the 8th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals dissolved last summer, a decision which on May 29th the Supreme Court allowed to stand.

Illinois Taxpayer-Funded Abortions Offer No Real Help for Women… Only Death

Live Action News has previously documented how taxpayers in several states are footing the bill to pay for abortions, even repeat or multiple abortions. A newly-enacted law in Illinois provides state health insurance and Medicaid coverage for abortions, and the media is salivating to cheer it on. But tragically, rather than direct women to resources which can help them with options other than abortion, many in the media are glorifying the use of taxpayer dollars for abortions as the best solution for pregnant women in need.

One such case, highlighted recently by the Chicago Tribune, involved a woman of low income who received a Medicaid-funded abortion at a Planned Parenthood of Illinois facility. She claimed in her statement to the paper, “I don’t have any help. That’s why I’m making the decision I am now.”

We can’t deny the fact that women can face many struggles during pregnancy, which the profitable abortion industry can exploit. After all, the abortion industry knows that repeat abortions occur more frequently when they are taxpayer-funded.

Judge halts Indiana law requiring reporting of abortion complications

A federal judge has imposed a preliminary injunction blocking an Indiana law requiring abortion complications to be reported to the state. Indiana Right to Life noted on June 29, 2018:

Planned Parenthood and the ACLU filed suit in April to block two portions of the law: first, that physicians, hospitals and abortion facilities report when a woman is injured by an abortion; second, that abortion operators must disclose greater amounts of information when attempting to open a new abortion facility in Indiana.

The Senate Enrolled Act (SEA) 340 was signed into law in March by Gov. Eric Holcomb and was expected to take effect this month. Also according to Indiana Right to Life:

Complications required to be reported include: uterine perforation, cervical perforation, infection, hemorrhaging, respiratory arrest, shock, or incidents in which parts of an aborted baby are left within the woman. The law also enhances reporting requirements when a woman gets an abortion by tracking whether she was seeking the abortion as a result of abuse, coercion, harassment or trafficking….

Court denies abortion facility ‘lost profits’ from pro-life rescue that turned 12 women away

“The abortionist had to admit under oath that many lives were rescued the day these courageous pro-lifers entered the abortion center waiting room,” Muise said.

The abortion center sued for more than $5,000 in “lost revenue” and $1,500 for attorney’s fees, according to an AFLC press release.

Judge Marc Barron of the 48th District Court denied the prosecutor’s and abortion center’s request for restitution.

A push for beating hearts in America's Heartland

A pro-family group in Iowa says there's an opportunity for people – even those who don't live in The Hawkeye State – to add their voice to court records in support of the state's heartbeat law.

Iowa's heartbeat law bans abortion after a baby's heartbeat is detected – that's at or around the six-week mark in pregnancy. However, the ACLU, Planned Parenthood of the Heartland, and the Emma Goldman Clinic filed a lawsuit claiming the law violates a woman's rights to due process, liberty, and safety, among other things. A judge has since temporarily blocked the law from taking effect while the lawsuit plays out.

"I would encourage people to go to [our website] and sign the Heartbeat petition," says Drew Zahn of The Family Leader in Iowa, explaining it's not a "typical" petition because the names aren't going to be dropped off somewhere.

"All your names, whether you're in Iowa or not, will be entered into the official court record, urging the judges to protect and defend life," he explains. "That is the first way that we're encouraging people to get involved and make their voices heard in a way that really hasn't been done much before."

Bias: Centers for Disease Control ‘relies on’ abortionists for its abortion research

An application for specialty certification uploaded by the American Board of Obstetrics and Gynecology (ABOG) has revealed that members of abortion organizations have deep ties to the Center for Disease Control (CDC), and are likely disseminating Title X family planning funds, taxpayer dollars earmarked for family planning resources. The information came to light after a previous Live Action News article exposed the fact that ABOG was seeking a new subspecialty certification in “Complex Family Planning,” which requires those in such fellowships be trained in abortion, including late-term abortion.

One of those “fellowships” is the Fellowship in Family Planning (FFP), which was established by Dr. Philip Darney at the University of California, San Francisco, and is administered by a national office at the Bixby Center for Global Reproductive Health at the University of California, San Francisco. One reason FFP was established might have something to do with the shrinking number of abortion providers. According to the Bixby Center’s website, the “number of US abortion providers decreased by 38% between 1982 and 2005, and some 87% of US counties do not have an abortion provider.”

According to the UN, Planned Parenthood is about population control

The United Nations awarded two affiliates of Planned Parenthood with the Population Award last week at the ceremony at UN headquarters. Hosted by the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA), this award celebrates individuals and institutions for the ‘most outstanding question to the awareness of work in population questions or to their solutions,’ including family planning and ‘population control’. The 2018 Population Award was given to Sir Prince Ramsey in the individual category and Guttmacher and Save a Child’s Heart in the organization category.

The Chair of the session, Martha Pobe Permanent Rep of Ghana to UN, set the stage with false alarm in her opening remarks that “215 million worldwide do not have access to modern methods of family planning”.

Abortionist Robert Rho, sentenced to prison for killing woman during botched late-term abortion

Abortionist Robert Rho, who pleaded guilty in May to Criminal Negligent Homicide for causing the death of Jaime Morales, 30, during a botched second trimester abortion, was sentenced June 26 to serve fifteen months to four years in state prison.

Over Rho’s 23-year career as an abortionist, he committed an estimated 40,000 abortions, according to his attorney Jeff Lichtman.  But Rho was known to cut corners on abortion procedures to save time and money. His short-cuts proved fatal for Jaime Morales when she visited Rho on July 9, 2016.

IL pro-lifers wait for action after NIFLA ruling

A law in Illinois that regulates pro-life pregnancy centers remains tied up in court following a landmark U.S. Supreme Court decision.

Thomas Olp, an attorney with the Thomas More Society, says the state law is very similar to the California law that was struck down this week.

In the NIFLA v Becerra case, the court ruled 5-4 against a California law that forces pro-life pregnancy centers to inform women where to get an abortion for free or at low cost.

Attorney Thomas Olp of the Thomas More Society says the Illinois law forces pro-life centers in that state to do the same thing.

Pro-aborts ignoring healthcare workers' rights

Medical professionals have waited years for their consciences to be protected, and the founder of the only professional pharmacy association that is "100 percent total protection, no exceptions pro-life, and unashamedly so" says social media is being used to hinder that.

One example of the harm involves Brian Hreniuc, a Walgreen's pharmacist in Arizona who declined to fill a prescription for a woman to abort her child. Instead, he sent her to another pharmacy that would do so, fulfilling the company's requirements for pharmacists who do not want to violate their conscience or faith.

But Dr. Bo Kuhar of Pharmacists for Life International tells OneNewsNow the woman, Nicole Arteaga, made a big issue out of it on social media.

"She claims she filed a complaint with the Arizona Board of Pharmacy … as a patient has the right to do," Kuhar reports. "But that probably will not go anywhere, because both the state and the employer are supporting a pharmacist having a right of conscience."

Jahi McMath, the teen doctors tried to declare dead five years ago, has died

Jahi McMath, the teenager who ignited a nationwide controversy after California doctors tried to remove her from life support against her mother’s will, died from excessive bleeding and liver failure on June 22nd after undergoing surgery in New Jersey to treat an intestinal problem.

In 2013, Jahi underwent a throat surgery, and initially, was awake and talking afterwards. But she soon went into cardiac arrest. Her doctors declared her brain-dead, and urged Jahi’s mother to remove all life support, and allow Jahi to die. But her mother, Latasha “Nailah” Winkfield, refused, and thus kicked off a court battle with the hospital. In court, doctors testified that Jahi had irreversible brain damage, and that if she was allowed to remain on life support, her body would deteriorate. An independent physician from Stanford University agreed with that diagnosis, and the judge ruled that Jahi was legally dead. A death certificate was issued.

The battle was not yet over, though...
