    Planned Parenthood’s Planned Politicking: $50 Million and Counting

    While the IRS bulks up to come after conservatives, another “nonprofit” is robbing taxpayers blind and then turning around and using its freed-up cash to influence elections. And yet, Planned Parenthood’s racket never seems to raise an eyebrow in the federal government, which is apparently too busy harassing ministries who don’t take a dime of taxpayer money. But…

    Why Planned Parenthood Is Pushing Chemical Abortions

    This year is arguably the most significant year in the fight for life since Roe v. Wade made abortion legal across America in 1973. The federal right to abortion could be overturned this summer by the Supreme Court’s ruling on Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization. If the court overturns Roe v. Wade, abortion rights…

    Sin of Planned Parenthood Is Abortion, Not Margaret Sanger

    The president of Planned Parenthood Federation of America, Alexis McGill Johnson, has used The New York Times as a confessional to fess up to the racist history of Planned Parenthood’s founder, Margaret Sanger. “We must reckon with Margaret Sanger’s association with white supremacist groups and eugenics,” she writes. Sanger’s involvement with the notoriously racist eugenics…

    Planned Parenthood Is Providing Fewer Breast Screenings, Wellness Exams, and More Abortions, Transgender Services

    This month, Planned Parenthood Federation of America quietly released its 2019-20 annual report to little fanfare.

Meanwhile, the amount of private funding and active individual contributors decreased—the latter dramatically so. The organization’s super PAC spent $45 million during the 2020…

    As Congress gears up to debate another round of COVID-19 economic relief, Democrats are expected to renew their calls for a federal bailout of struggling states. This is a fundamentally unfair request, as many state budgetary troubles are the result of poor fiscal choices rather than the COVID-19 pandemic. Not only that, but a look…
