Report: FBI Hints Planned Parenthood Probe May Be On

/0 Comments/in , /by

The FBI signaled this week agents may be investigating whether Planned Parenthood’s dealings in fetal tissue were legal.

Sources told The Hill the FBI has requested documents from the Senate Judiciary Committee obtained from the committee’s investigation into Planned Parenthood’s fetal tissue dealings. The investigation came after the Center for Medical Progress published a series of explosive videos in 2015 revealing the abortion giant was harvesting and distributing aborted baby parts for researchers.

CMP alleges Planned Parenthood was illegally profiting from the exchange of limbs and organs, and the House and Senate launched investigations into the non-profit’s practice. Senate Judiciary Chair Chuck Grassley referred Planned Parenthood to the FBI at the conclusion of that investigation, saying his committee found evidence indicating the group was profiting.

Planned Parenthood told The Hill none of its affiliates have been in contact with the FBI.

Planned Parenthood officials discuss the cost of harvesting and distributing the tissue on some of the undercover videos, but the group maintained it was charging legal fees and not profiting from the exchange. Following the revelations, Planned Parenthood announced it would no longer accept any money for the exchange of aborted baby parts.

Former Baby Parts Harvester: Planned Parenthood ‘Made Us Do the Dirty Work’

/0 Comments/in , /by

Planned Parenthood “made us do the dirty work,” an ex-procurement technician for a baby body parts harvester explained in a new video.

She outlined how Planned Parenthood profited from selling aborted baby parts to StemExpress, and how a nurse was reprimanded for throwing out fetal remains rather than letting them be harvested and sold.

Holly O’Donnell worked for StemExpress, one of the companies that found itself in the middle of the Center for Medical Progress (CMP) videos showing the abortion industry’s work with the baby body parts trade.

When the CMP videos first came out, Planned Parenthood claimed that the money they received from companies like StemExpress was just reimbursement for things like shipping costs.

But Planned Parenthood never shipped the body parts, O’Donnell testified in this new video. StemExpress handled all aspects of the fetal organ harvesting process: getting patients to consent, dissecting fetuses, packaging organs, and shipping them off via FedEx.

Pence Donation Taunt Leads to Jim Beam ‘Boycott’

/0 Comments/in , /by

The pro-life advocacy group Susan B. Anthony List is now soliciting donations in Vice President Mike Pence’s name in response to Hollywood actress Mila Kunis’ boast that she makes monthly donations to abortion giant Planned Parenthood in Pence’s name.

Kunis announced on Conan O’Brien’s late-night show last week that she donates to the American abortion industry’s leading corporation in Pence’s name as a protest.

“I apologize if I’m offending anybody. It’s not so much a prank as much as I disagreed with some of the stuff that Pence was doing and was trying to do,” Kunis said. “And so, as a reminder that there are women out there in the world that may or may not agree with his platform, I put him on a list of recurring donations that are made in his name to Planned Parenthood . . .

Kunis is a Jim Beam global brand spokeswoman, and her actions triggered a call on Twitter for a boycott of the bourbon company until it removes her.

Planned Parenthood on DREAMers: ‘Every Person Has the Right to Live’

/0 Comments/in , /by

For those who run abortion giants such as the National Abortion Rights Action League and Planned Parenthood, the immigration policy fight going on in the United States now is all about … abortion.

Shortly after Attorney General Jeff Sessions announced Tuesday the end of the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program created by President Obama as a “temporary” plan to protect illegal aliens while Congress acted, Cecile Richards, the president of Planned Parenthood, tweeted: “Our doors remain open to all, including DREAMers and DACA recipients – no matter what.”

Richards, after describing the president’s action as “Cruel. Unacceptable,” soon added: “Time to fight like hell. One step you can take right away: Call Congress. Tell them to pass the #DREAMAct.”

The comment drew stunned disbelief on Twitter.

eMarc21 responded, “Please don’t complain about deporting children if you support murdering them.” (Read more from “Planned Parenthood on DREAMers: ‘Every Person Has the Right to Live'” HERE)

This Is Planned Parenthood’s Latest Ploy to Raise Money for the Org

/0 Comments/in , /by

Planned Parenthood hopes to see a boost in donations in Colorado, and a local art gallery in the state has planned to hold a silent auction featuring “reproductive art” — said to include a pink chandelier made of tampons — with proceeds to benefit the controversial organization.

According to the Daily Camera, the Colorado Chapter of the National Women’s Caucus for the Arts (WCA) will host the auction, which is titled “Make Money For Planned Parenthood” and will display reproductive-themed artwork courtesy of several WCA members.

“We do have one gal making a pink chandelier with tampons hanging off of it,” Linda Gleitz, a member of the WCA, told the Camera. “It’s fabulous.”

About Planned Parenthood, Gleitz said, “I feel passionately about Planned Parenthood. … If we can make a little bit of money for Planned Parenthood, it’s worth it.” (Read more from “This Is Planned Parenthood’s Latest Ploy to Raise Money for the Org” HERE)

Oregon Lawmakers Vote to Bail out Planned Parenthood

/0 Comments/in , /by

The demand for abortion in Oregon is going down, so why do pro-abortion lawmakers there seem so determined to increase it?

From 2011 to 2014, Oregon saw a 15 percent decline in the number of abortions.

It also saw a 7 percent decline in the number of abortion providers.

But, apparently that isn’t a trend line pro-abortion politicians want to see continue.

When it comes to restrictions on abortion, Oregon already has very few.

It has no parental consent or even parental notification laws. There are no mandated counseling or waiting periods for women seeking abortions. There are no additional regulations on facilities performing abortions to increase safety or ambulance-ready requirements.

And, unlike 43 other states that restrict abortion after either 20 weeks or after an unborn child can live outside the womb, Oregon allows abortions up until the moment of birth.

As a matter of fact, the only “restriction” on abortion in Oregon is that it isn’t free—for everyone.

So state lawmakers recently passed legislation to ensure that it is.

Called the Reproductive Health Equity Act, the bill ensures that all Oregonians, regardless of their income, citizenship status, gender identity, or type of insurance, receive the full spectrum of reproductive health services at zero out-of-pocket cost.

Of course, “reproductive health services” is code language for abortion and “zero out-of-pocket cost” means Oregon taxpayers, regardless of their personal views, will be paying for more abortions.

Oregon already allocates $2 million of state Medicaid funds for abortions. This new bill would tack on another $10 million.

But this time they are taking it a step further by forcing all insurance plans, exempting only a handful of religious charities, to cover abortions, for any reason, free of cost, to anyone in the state.

So, whether you are a citizen or noncitizen, rich or poor … whether you are three months pregnant or just weeks away from giving birth … and for whatever reason, including the fact you wanted a boy instead of a girl, you can now get an abortion compliments of Oregon taxpayers.

It’s no coincidence that those lobbying for the bill just happen to be the very entities that will profit from it. Dropping abortion rates means dropping profits for groups like Planned Parenthood who helped draft the legislation.

And just like at the federal level, they want taxpayers to bail them out.

But there is a way to stop it.

If opponents can collect the signatures of 58,789 registered voters between now and October 5, they can force the bill to be put on the 2018 ballot—allowing the people of Oregon, not pro-abortion special interests, to have the final say.

Murkowski 1 of the 3 Republican Senators Blocking Final Effort to Defund Planned Parenthood

/0 Comments/in , , /by

It looks like Planned Parenthood won’t be defunded and Obamacare won’t be repealed thanks to three Republican senators.

Republicans failed to rally enough senators to vote for the Better Care Reconciliation Act, which would repeal and replace Obamacare. Then, Majority Leader Sen. Mitch McConnell, R-Kentucky, announced the Senate would instead only vote on repealing the pro-abortion healthcare law.

The bill repealing Obamacare would also defund Planned Parenthood for one year. Three Republican senators, Shelley Moore Capito of West Virginia, Lisa Murkowski of Alaska, and Susan Collins of Maine, have all said they’d vote against the bill. This means McConnell doesn’t have the 50 votes needed to debate and then pass the bill.

Capito has a mixed record on abortion, having voted for a few moderate pro-life bills but also to expand research on human embryonic stem cell lines and fund contraception. In 2015, she voted to repeal Obamacare, when it was obvious the then-president would veto the legislation. She said she doesn’t support repealing Obamacare without a replacement.

Planned Parenthood Video Trial – Is Free Speech or Privacy Under Fire?

/0 Comments/in , /by

David Daleiden calls himself a citizen journalist. His method for getting information is to lie about who he is, then record what people tell him without their knowledge. Because he got officials from Planned Parenthood to discuss selling the body parts of aborted fetuses, he is being charged with fifteen criminal felony counts . . .

The charges against Deleiden were announced last March by California Attorney General Xavier Becerra in a press release that identified his accusers as Doe #1 through 14. The 15th felony charge is for conspiracy. In a related civil case, a federal judge issued an injunction forbidding Deleiden from releasing other surreptitiously recorded videos . . .

Deleiden’s case was initially opened by Becerra’s predecessor, Kamala Harris, who last November was elected to the U.S. Senate. Ferreira claims that Planned Parenthood lobbied Harris to bring the charges to punish Deleiden. Says co-counsel Steve Cooley, “This is a politically motivated prosecution” . . .

Deleiden doesn’t think he’s done anything wrong as a journalist. “”I’m a skilled citizen journalist who orchestrated an in-depth undercover study of the country’s biggest abortion business,” he told me. “I’m not the only person doing stuff like this. There’s a new generation of citizen journalists who use these tactics. But because we went after the sacred cows of the California political establishment, they’re bringing the hammer down on me” . . .

“It’s not a crime to lie or misrepresent yourself,” Deleiden says. “If we accept that it is, we would have no undercover police operations, no undercover journalism. It’s a non-literal use of information to capture a bigger truth.” (Read more from “Planned Parenthood Video Trial – Is Free Speech or Privacy Under Fire?” HERE)

Hillary’s Back to Sell ‘Nasty Woman’ Shirts

/0 Comments/in , /by

Hillary Clinton is on Twitter advertising “nasty woman” t-shirts where proceeds from the sales go to Planned Parenthood.

The shirts are being sold by TBS, the network that hosts “Full Frontal with Samantha Bee,” a political comedy show.

“Support Samantha Bee & Planned Parenthood & buy a Nasty Woman t-shirt!” Clinton wrote next to a photo of her holding the black “nasty woman” shirt.

The “nasty woman” phrase was popularized when then-candidate Donald Trump referred to Clinton as a “nasty woman” during one of the presidential debates. (Read more from “Hillary’s Back to Sell ‘Nasty Woman’ Shirts” HERE)

Planned Parenthood Is Turning Aborting Babies Into a Fashion Statement

/0 Comments/in , /by

As disgusting as it seems, abortion activists are trying to turn the Planned Parenthood abortion business into a fashion statement.

At celebrity awards shows this year, a number of celebrities wore little gold pins of the abortion chain’s logo. Now, a company has created a pink lipstick to benefit the group that aborts more than 300,000 unborn babies every single year.

The media company Studio 71 created the exclusive Planned Parenthood lipstick for its Lipstick Lobby arm, TubeFilter reports. Indie retailer Opening Ceremony is selling the lipstick, and the proceeds benefit the abortion group.

The lipstick is called “Kiss My Pink,” and — good news! — it’s “vegan” and “cruelty free,” according to Elle. Never mind that the profits from its sales are going to a group that aborts more unborn babies than anyone else in the United States.

“We were hearing from our community from people who wanted to speak out in response to what was going on in politics, so we decided to roll up our sleeves and do something about it,” said Studio 71 spokesperson Davida Hall. “Since women’s health care is in jeopardy right now, making Planned Parenthood our first beneficiary was the obvious choice.” (Read more from “Planned Parenthood Is Turning Aborting Babies Into a Fashion Statement” HERE)
