A building in Santa Cruz, Calif., is being converted into a worship space and public brewery by a pro-gay church that plans to donate some of its beer proceeds to Planned Parenthood, according to reports.
Members of the Greater Purpose Community Church now meet on Sundays at a food lounge to pray, listen and drink beer, KNTV reports. . .
“A church that serves beer and gives the profits away to places like Planned Parenthood is really exciting to me,” the pastor told the paper. . .
The pastor told KNTV that holding services at the food lounge gave him the idea for the brewery.
“I thought to myself, ‘wouldn’t it be great if a church could figure out a way to make a product where they split the profits with local community service organizations?’ We were like ‘hey, we love beer, we love making beer, why not do a brewery?'” he said.

The abortion conglomerate Planned Parenthood has released yet another one of its manifestos ahead of the 2018 midterm elections. This “Unstoppable” campaign sets eight specific goals.
So what message is Planned Parenthood pushing out now? As highlighted by LifeNews, it’s the same old shtick: women are doomed.
“The manifesto’s central tenets are that ‘our bodies are our own’ and ‘no equality is possible without this,’ birth control is ‘basic health care,’ health care is a ‘human right,’ and abortions should be without restriction,” reports the outlet. “It also calls for freedom from sexual violence, equal pay, paid family leave, and a rejection of racism, homophobia, and transphobia.” . . .
“The Trump-Pence administration has worked to restrict access to abortion, undermined birth control access by allowing virtually any employer to refuse to provide coverage for birth control based on a religious or moral objection, and tried to block people from getting care at Planned Parenthood health centers,” the manifesto laments. “We should be working towards a world where our bodies are our own, and women are able to access full reproductive care.”
“Big Bang Theory” star Mayim Bialik is helping to promote the manifesto along with some music from Sia. Dawn Laguens, executive vice president for Planned Parenthood, said the “UNSTOPPABLE” manifesto will be a “rallying cry” for feminists everywhere.

Planned Parenthood of the Great Northwest and the Hawaiian Islands (PPGNHI) filed a lawsuit Tuesday against Idaho’s Abortion Complications Reporting Act which went into effect July 1st.
The legislation details 37 abortion complications that must be reported to the Idaho Department of Health and Welfare including infection, blood clots, and hemorrhaging. The bill also requires that any psychological conditions following an abortion be reported such as depression, anxiety, and sleeping disorders.
It mandates that abortion providers report the number of times their patients have had past abortions and other information about the patients including age, race, and number of children.
The law argues that “to facilitate reliable scientific studies and research on the safety and efficacy of abortion, it is essential that the medical and public health communities have access to accurate information both on the abortion procedure and on complications resulting from abortion.” . . .
“The law violates constitutional guarantees of due process and equal protection by arbitrarily singling out one particular medical procedure and requiring invasive reporting that has nothing to do with protecting patient health care,” according to Planned Parenthood. “Providers will now face potential criminal and civil penalties and professional discipline, which could result in the loss of their medical license, for non-compliance with these unconstitutional, vague and overreaching reporting requirements. Furthermore, the information gathered by these requirements is not protected from disclosure, putting patient and provider privacy at risk.” (Read more from “Planned Parenthood Sues State Over New Abortion Reporting Requirements” HERE)

By Townhall. Following Supreme Court Justice Anthony Kennedy’s announcement that he is retiring from the Supreme Court, abortion advocates and pro-life groups are emphasizing that a pro-life Trump appointee could mean the end of Roe v. Wade.
Justice Kennedy has long been considered the swing vote on the court with four conservative and four liberal justices. If President Trump chooses another conservative, pro-life justice from his promised list, then that could bring about a major change in the court’s decision-making when it comes to abortion access.
Planned Parenthood tweeted shortly after the announcement that “with Kennedy retiring, the right to access abortion in this country is on the line.”
The abortion advocacy group NARAL said that the “right to access legal abortion is in DIRE, IMMEDIATE danger.”
With Trump nominating the next Supreme Court Justice, our constitutional right to access legal abortion is in 𝐃𝐈𝐑𝐄, 𝐈𝐌𝐌𝐄𝐃𝐈𝐀𝐓𝐄 danger—along with the fundamental rights of all Americans. #SaveSCOTUS#CourtsMatter#RoevWade
“Justice Kennedy’s retirement from the Supreme Court marks a pivotal moment for the fight to ensure every unborn child is welcomed and protected under the law,” SBA List president Marjorie Dannenfelser said. “The most important commitment that President Trump has made to the pro-life movement has been his promise to nominate only pro-life judges to the Supreme Court, a commitment he honored by swiftly nominating Judge Neil Gorsuch.”

Top Researcher at Planned Parenthood’s Favorite Research Org Fired for Sexually Harassing Females
By Life Site News. The Guttmacher Institute, the pro-abortion research organization that began as a part of Planned Parenthood, announced Friday it has fired one of its top researchers for allegedly sexually harassing female staffers.
According to a joint statement by Guttmacher’s Board Chair Mary Shallenberger and President and CEO Ann Starrs, the organization received an anonymous report on June 15 accusing vice president for domestic research Dr. Lawrence B. Finer of sexual harassment, at which point he was placed on administrative leave. It also reveals that rumors about Finer’s conduct, including a formal complaint, had actually arisen months earlier, but “we believed at the time that we had resolved the complaint adequately.”
Following this month’s allegation, an internal investigation found that Finer had “engaged in inappropriate sexual behavior against a number of current and former Institute employees,” leading to his termination Friday.
“[W]e now know that the actions we took were not nearly enough to address the problem,” the statement admits. “We have failed to create and nurture a culture within our organization where predatory behavior is condemned and where staff feel supported to report such behavior as soon as it occurs. That is inexcusable.”
Guttmacher’s statement pledges that the organization will “conduct an independent and thorough review of our practices and policies” to “do right by the victims of this behavior and to restore the trust of our staff, our donors, our colleagues and all those who rely on Guttmacher’s work.” (Read more from “Top Researcher at Planned Parenthood’s Favorite Research Org Fired for Sexually Harassing Females” HERE)

Planned Parenthood will be spending a record $1.5 million to sway a gubernatorial election in Pennsylvania.
Pennsylvania Gov. Tom Wolf has been a stalwart opponent of pro-life legislation throughout his tenure, opposing even some of the most moderate proposals. He has vetoed bans on dismemberment abortions as well as bans on abortion after 20 weeks. Recently, he said he will veto a bill to protect Down syndrome babies from abortion.
“He is a brick wall against efforts to roll back health care access and [abortion] rights of Pennsylvanians,” said Sari Stevens, director of the state pro-abortion PAC, Tribune Live reports.
The money will be used for door-to-door canvassing, digital advertisements, phone calls and texts. Much of the effort will focus on Philadelphia suburbs to rope more women into voting in the upcoming election. Polling shows that suburban citizens have a favorable opinion of Planned Parenthood. . .
“It’s no surprise that Tom Wolf is setting records for donations taken from special interests,” said Andrew Romeo, spokesman for Wagner. “He is bought and paid for by those filling up his campaign coffers.” (Read more from “Planned Parenthood to Spend Record $1.5 Million to Sway an Election” HERE)

Members of Congress gathered outside the U.S. Capitol today to call attention to an important investigative report and video series exposing Planned Parenthood’s repeated failure to notify law enforcement of suspected human trafficking and the sexual exploitation of women and girls.
Planned Parenthood has a decades-long history of covering up crimes against minors which has gone largely ignored. Live Action has released its report and video series seeking to blow the lid off Planned Parenthood’s unchecked, ongoing criminal behavior victimizing young girls who are already victims of sexual assaults.
“Abuse cover-up is systemic to the abortion industry,” said Lila Rose, founder of Live Action which produced the investigative report and video series.
“What these abusers do––what sexual traffickers do––to their victims is take them or threaten to send them by force to an abortion facility, which can become a key place for that abuse to be covered up,” said Rose. “And Planned Parenthood, instead of reporting the abuse as they’re mandated to do in virtually all fifty states by law––instead of reporting abuse, instead of being that person who can encounter a girl in a situation of extreme distress and be that moment of intervention for her––does a secret abortion, has a ‘don’t ask, don’t tell policy,’ and sends this vulnerable young girl back into the arms of sex abusers.” . . .
Sometimes these young teenage girls plead with Planned Parenthood staff to them help them escape their abusers, but their pleas go unheeded. (Read more from “Lawmakers Demand Planned Parenthood Be Investigated for Covering-Up Child Sex-Abuse” HERE)
Live Action released Part 3 of its “Aiding Abusers” video series Thursday, highlighting the firsthand accounts of former Planned Parenthood employees who say the abortion giant routinely refused to report statutory rape and ignored signs that young girls brought in for abortions were being molested.
The “Aiding Abusers” series, launched earlier this week, accuses the nation’s largest abortion company of a “systemic, decades long cover-up of child sexual abuse.” It contrasts Planned Parenthood’s conduct behind closed doors with its public embrace of the #MeToo campaign to end sexual exploitation.
“When it comes to reports of sexual assault and sexual harassment, Planned Parenthood has used the slogan that we should ‘trust women,’ so let’s follow that advice and listen to the testimonies of these four women who are former Planned Parenthood workers and managers who all say the same thing, that Planned Parenthood routinely covers-up child sexual abuse,” Live Action President Lila Rose says at the beginning of the latest video.
In the video, ex-Planned Parenthood employee Catherine Adair quotes former colleagues as dismissing her appeals to report apparent abusers bringing in their victims for abortions by saying, “She’s better off with the abortions. We can’t do anything about what’s going on at home but at least we can give her the abortion.”
Former HIV health educator and Title X training manager Monica Cline says that when she broached the subject with the Planned Parenthood staff of Corpus Christi and the Gulf Coast, they actually laughed at her. (Read more from “Whistleblowers Expose How Planned Parenthood Ignored Child Rape” HERE)
Headlines about sex abuse, sex abusers and their victims have flooded American media in recent months, with Bill Cosby, Harvey Weinstein and others abruptly on defense, fighting for their businesses, their careers and even their freedom. . .
The pro-life activists at Live Action have released a report titled “Aiding Abusers: Planned Parenthood’s cover-up of child sexual abuse,” accompanied by a series of videos.
The report and videos document cases in which sex-abuse victims have been taken to Planned Parenthood for an abortion by their attackers and, stunningly, then returned to the care of their attackers. . .
Live Action explains: “Through the Time’s Up and Me Too movements, America is calling for an end to sexual abuse in every institution. But few are calling out one of America’s biggest accomplices to sexual abuse, even though there is widespread documentation of decades-long systemic sexual abuse cover up behind its doors.
“The group is Planned Parenthood and they are tax funded. Planned Parenthood claims that sexual assault victims come to their facilities on a daily basis. What we will show you in Live Action’s seven part video series is how Planned Parenthood treats these victims, consistently and deliberately failing to report their abuse and even making a profit doing so.” (Read more from “Planned Parenthood Is Accomplice to Sex Abuse” HERE)

The Trump administration is expected to lay out a rule to cut taxpayer funding of abortion clinics on Friday, as announced by an official who told The Weekly Standard that “The proposal would require a bright line of physical as well as financial separation between Title X programs and any program (or facility) where abortion is performed, supported, or referred to as a method of family planning.”
Under Title X, $260 million in federal dollars is currently dedicated to contraception and “other family planning” initiatives.
NBC News reported that the new rule would force groups like Planned Parenthood to choose between federal funding and providing abortions in the same facilities where they offer additional services.
President of the Susan B. Anthony list, a pro-life group, said, “We thank President Trump for taking action to disentangle taxpayers from the abortion business. This is a major victory which will energize the grassroots as we head into the critical midterm elections.”
The bulk of Planned Parenthood’s federal funding actually comes from Medicaid, and the speculated new rule would not impact that cash flow. But the proposed policy would require that abortions be performed at separate facilities than other services, and by different employees in order to continue to receive federal dollars.

We all thought Cecile Richards was stepping down from her role as the abortion queen of Planned Parenthood; we were all wrong.
In a recent interview with Salon, Richards issued her most incendiary comments against pro-lifers yet, castigating them with nearly all the sins labeled in 1 Corinthians 6:9. According to the woman who oversaw roughly 3.5 million abortions throughout her tenure as Planned Parenthood CEO, pro-life people “lie, cheat, steal, deceive and break the law.”
Q. It does seem to me that there has been an escalation of these kinds of attacks on nonprofits like Planned Parenthood. What do you think accounts for that?
A. I don’t exactly know what accounts for it. Obviously, there were a couple of groups that specialize in this. I think that one of the things that I see on the right is they are so much more willing to lie, cheat, steal, deceive, break the law …
Quite a charge coming from the woman who lies about the realities of abortion so that she can cheat the American public out of their tax dollars. Some call that deception. Some call that theft. Either way, Cecile Richards is looking into a mirror and mistaking her hideous reflection for her enemies’.
