    Now That Starbucks CEO Knows About Planned Parenthood Funding, Will He End Chain’s Support of ‘Racist Organization’?

    Your tax dollars aren’t the only thing supporting Planned Parenthood—proceeds from your daily coffee may be, too. By now, Starbucks’ grande agenda on social issues isn’t a surprise to anyone, except maybe its CEO.

    Planned Parenthood Rakes in Taxpayer Dollars

    Breaking the law doesn’t help your chances for earning federal dollars—but apparently, it doesn’t hurt them either. If there’s one thing Planned Parenthood’s learned over the last few years, it’s that crime does pay. A lot, according to the Government Accountability Office. Despite piles of evidence (some of it from the group’s own mouth) that Cecile…

    Your Tax Money Makes Planned Parenthood a Political Kingmaker

    You might never support a pro-abortion candidate, but what if your tax dollars are? There’s more than a little evidence suggesting that’s exactly what’s happening with government-funded groups like Planned Parenthood.

    Plenty of movements have tried to hitch their wagon to the legacy of Martin Luther King Jr. For years, people across the political spectrum have claimed him as one of their own—in part because it’s convenient and in part because he isn’t here to dispute it. But no cause is more antithetical to King’s than…
