Live
Action Films is again exposing
the deception being peddled by nation’s largest abortion provider, Planned
Parenthood. LifeNews reports that Lila
Rose’s organization of plucky youths has exposed the staff at an Indianapolis-area
Planned Parenthood providing false or misleading information to a girl posing
as seeking an abortion.
Dr.
Miriam Grossman exposes the problems with Planned Parenthood’s sex
education programs. Excerpt:
As a physician who has spent hundreds of
hours with young people with sexually transmitted infections, I’m on a
one-woman mission to expose the falsehood of those claims. Planned Parenthood’s
sexual health education is not comprehensive or medically accurate; to the
contrary, this eminent, federally funded organization endangers lives by
withholding critical biological truths.
Even
the paid researchers of the abortion industry have to admit that pushing
contraceptives does not reduce abortion rates.
LifeNews reports.
Find
out about the upcoming movie called Blood
Money. Watch the trailer here.
As
LifeNews reports, the House
of Representatives voted down an amendment by Rep. Mike Pence (R-IN) which
would have prevented Planned Parenthood from receiving taxpayer dollars. Excerpt:
“It is morally wrong to destroy innocent
human life through abortion, but it is also morally wrong to take the tax
dollars of millions of pro-life Americans and use them to promote or perform
abortions at home or abroad. The largest abortion provider in America should
not also be the largest recipient of federal funds under Title X," Pence
said during the debate.
See
how your representative
voted on the Pence amendment to defund this notorious abortion provider (sexual
abuse concealing).
FRC
released a
statement. As did
Congressman Pence who said, “You can't reduce abortions by funding abortion
providers with taxpayer dollars.”
Mona
Charen explains. Excerpt:
Rep. Smith asked Clinton to respond to
Sanger's views about the "deterioration in the human stock" and
"the perpetuation of defectives, delinquents and dependents." As
Goldberg has observed, conservatives are always asked to "own" their
intellectual forebears and to disavow that which requires disavowal. Yet
liberals skate by without having to distance themselves from the dreadful
opinions and writings of their heroes and heroines.
LifeNews reports. The courageous student activists at
LiveActionFilms have done it again, exposing the radical and often illegal
pro-abortion, pro-promiscuity agenda of Planned Parenthood. The newly released undercover footage shows
Planned Parenthood staff in Tennessee trying to cover up what they believe is a
sexual abuse situation. Hopefully,
thanks to the great work of Lila Rose and her partners at LiveAction, people across
the country will start to see a pattern of behavior at Planned Parenthood. Maybe then they will start to ask questions
about how many of their tax dollars support this kind of activity.

Kathryn
Jean Lopez explains at NRO. Excerpt:
"We want fewer and better children . . . and
we cannot make the social life and the world-peace we are determined to make,
with the ill-bred, ill-trained swarms of inferior citizens that you inflict on
us.”
That ghastly message appeared in the
introduction to Margaret Sanger’s 1922 book, The Pivot of Civilization.
In a little-noticed incident, Secretary of
State Hillary Clinton recently announced that she is “really in awe” of Sanger.
“The 20th-century reproductive-rights movement, really embodied in the life and
leadership of Margaret Sanger, was one of the most transformational in the
entire history of the human race,” Clinton declaimed upon receiving an award
from the organization that Sanger founded, Planned Parenthood.
CitizenLink reports. Unfortunately, it appears that President
Obama’s State Department will push its abortion agenda overseas, while
Secretary of State Hillary Clinton heaped praise on Planned Parenthood founder
Margaret Sanger. Excerpt:
After being honored by Planned Parenthood
with the Margaret Sanger award, Clinton said: “I have to tell you that it was a
great privilege when I was told that I would receive this award. I admire
Margaret Sanger enormously, her courage, her tenacity, her vision.”
Sanger, the founder of Planned Parenthood,
was openly sympathetic to Nazi Germany’s eugenic practices and was strongly
committed to preventing black people and the poor from reproducing.
Sanger once said: "Many of this group
are diseased, feeble-minded, and are of the pauper element dependent upon the
normal and fit members of society for their support. There is no doubt in the
minds of all thinking people that the procreation of this group should be
stopped."
LifeNews reports. Looks like the efforts of our friend Lila
Rose are paying off in Arizona.
Lila
Rose has done it again. Live Action Films, the organization of
pro-life students headed by Rose, has released undercover footage of a Planned
Parenthood facility in Phoenix, Arizona attempting to cover-up illegal sexual
abuse.

Planned
Parenthood receives millions of dollars from taxpayers every year. Is this how you want your tax dollars spent?

Live
Action Films has done it again. This
intrepid pro-life organization has released more outrageous undercover video
showing Planned Parenthood staff knowingly participating in the cover-up of
statutory rape in Tuscon, Arizona. Read
LAF’s official
press release here. LifeNews also reports. Is this activity (covering up statutory rape
and promoting abortion) something you want your hard-earned tax dollars to
support?
Check
out AdvanceUSA’s
interview with Lila Rose, the president of Live Action Films and one of the
undercover participants in the videos.
Here’s
the YouTube version of the Arizona video:
Daniel
Herbster reporting
 Few
organizations are as supportive of the radical pro-abortion agenda as Planned
Parenthood. Millions of dollars pass
through this institution every year (much of it from taxpayers) which means it
has a huge financial incentive to promote abortion and promiscuity. There have been many reports of Planned
Parenthood violating reporting laws in order to circumvent state parental
consent laws and statutory rape laws.
Lila Rose, president of Live Action Films,
decided to help expose the corruption of Planned Parenthood through a series of
undercover videos. Lila posed as an
under-age girl (who had been impregnated by a much older man) seeking an abortion
at two PP clinics in Indiana. The
videos show three PP staffers attempting to cover-up what would have
constituted statutory rape and encouraging Lila to get an abortion in Illinois
so she could avoid Indiana’s parental consent laws and keep the abortion and
rape hidden from her parents. Lila was
kind enough to allow us to interview her about her recent project.
DH: I know it’s not quite as prestigious at being
interviewed on Fox News, but we’re very grateful that you were willing to be
interviewed for AdvanceUSA Blog. First
of all, what made you decide to do undercover videos of Planned
Parenthood? Where did you get the idea?
LR: Well
first of all, our team at Live Action rely on blogs like yours to get the truth
out, so thank you for the interview!
The public deserves to know if Planned Parenthood, a
recipient of huge government grants, complies with all state and federal
regulations.
Planned Parenthood is the largest abortion provider,
and an aggressive political force for abortion on demand. In their active
killing of defenseless children, they routinely break state laws and manipulate
and misinform women. Abortion works in secret; once people learn how it is
done, who it is killing, and all the abuses that accompany it, I believe the
majority of Americans can no longer stand by and allow the great injustice and
violence to continue in our great nation.
DH: Did you ever feel nervous or fearful about
going “undercover?”
LR: Nervous,
yes. But that feeling was largely part of my character, as I tried to
accurately portray a very young girl, confused, frightened, pregnant by a
sexual predator, and in great need of help.
DH: What kind of preparation and planning went
into these videos?
LR: Our
Mona Lisa Team, both on the road and with the support team back home, spent a
lot of time preparing for the multi-state investigation. We have a very talented
and dedicated team of young people: we did extensive research and preparation,
used the best equipment, and took our role as investigative journalists
seriously.
Once the national tour was over, the work had just
begun! It was now our task at Live Action to plan, produce and release the
videos.
DH: What do you feel you accomplished with this
project? Are you experiencing any
negative push-back?
LR: The
first two videos (Bloomington and Indianapolis) alone well exceeded our
expectations by garnering national, mainstream media coverage, and for weeks on
end. Local groups in Indiana, already hard at work, were able to use the
evidence to make the case against Planned Parenthood. We at Live Action sent
the District Attorneys and the Attorney General full copies of the footage, to
work with them so they could conduct a thorough investigation of Planned
Parenthood Indiana. And the shock waves of the videos, which proved the blatant
disregard of Planned Parenthood for Indiana state statute, parent's
right-to-involvement, and the safety of young girls, is still ongoing.
DH: What actions or policies would you like to
see come about as a result of your efforts?
Apparently
the Big Abortion industry is looking for a bailout now. As CitizenLink and Planned
Parenthood’s own website make clear, supporting the newly proposed
Prevention First Act will be a high priority of the nation’s largest abortion
provider. The bill promises to make sure
that “reproductive health services” (i.e. mostly abortion) are available to all
families, regardless of income (likely at tax-payer expense.
A
second undercover video showing Planned Parenthood staffers in Indiana
attempting to cover up statutory rape has prompted Indiana State Representative
Jackie Walorski to call for an
investigation and a suspension of all state funding of Planned Parenthood until
the investigation is completed.
Hopefully, this incident will be a wake up call to the dangerous,
radically pro-abortion agenda of Planned Parenthood and will motivate citizens
to demand that their tax dollars not be used to support such a corrupt
organization.

The
South Bend Tribune reports. As does the
Indiana pro-family blog Veritas Rex.
Below is a YouTube video showing excerpts from the undercover videos.
Jill Stanek
explains at WorldNetDaily. Excerpt:
Four times in four years Wichita late-term
abortionist George Tiller or Planned Parenthood of Kansas has sued Kansas
Attorney General Phill Kline or Johnson County District Attorney Phill Kline
for investigating them. They have also filed hundreds of pages of ethics
complaints, which continue nonstop to this day.
Despite a hostile Kansas Supreme Court, the
majority of whom were appointed by a hostile governor who gets campaign money
from Tiller and who has even hosted a party for him at her mansion, and various
other hostile public officials who are on the dole for Tiller and/or Planned
Parenthood, nothing has stuck to Kline.
Despite every attempted roadblock, the
criminal investigations against Planned Parenthood and Tiller continue for
allegedly violating state laws prohibiting late-term abortions and mandated
reporting of underage abortions.
Phill
Kline’s work in Kansas is important for upholding the law and also bringing the
abuses of Planned Parenthood out into the light of day. CitizenLink also
reports.
LifeNews reports. An important question for Americans to ask
themselves is “Do I want my tax dollars to support this kind of activity?”
The
Senate on Friday rejected
a bill (on a cloture vote) which would have carved out a special drug price
kickback for the nation’s largest abortion provider at taxpayer expense.
AdvanceUSA
has learned that the Senate could soon consider an amendment to H.R. 2638, the
Continuing Resolution, which would carve out special benefits for Planned
Parenthood at taxpayer expense. The
measure would allow the nation’s number one abortion provider to get special
prices on pharmaceuticals at taxpayer expense.
Call
both
your senators and urge them to oppose any effort to allow “university
clinics and private birth control clinics” from receiving what is called “nominal
drug pricing.”
UPDATE: The RSC has more details here.
Daniel
Herbster reporting
 Have
you ever wondered how the pro-life cause specifically affects African
Americans? Have you ever wondered if
someone was speaking out on the impact of abortion on blacks? Organizations like the National Black Pro-Life Union
are talking those issues head on. I had
the privilege to interview Day Gardner about her work with this organization.
DH: It’s good to get in touch with you again. How are things in DC?
DG: Thank you! Things are busy, very busy! There’s a lot
happening here.
DH: Why did you start the National Black Pro-Life
Union? What is its mission and what are
some of the accomplishments you’d like to share with our readers?
DG: Like
they say, where there is a need...I realized that most blacks don't know the
statistics--the truth about abortion in our community. Many of us still don't know what an abortion
really is or what it looks like. We also
realize that once African Americans are given the facts and see the racism of
abortion and Planned Parenthood, they will stand with us to stop the killing.
The National Black Pro-Life Union is an organization
founded to serve as a clearing house to coordinate the flow of communications
among all African American pro-life organizations and individuals in order to
better network and combine resources.
We realize that if we are to be successful, it is
necessary to share information and/or resources as well as “who gets the credit.” We acknowledge that the real credit for any
good thing always goes to GOD–not man.
DH: What is the greatest killer of African
Americans?
DG: ABORTION
is the NUMBER ONE KILLER of African American people, killing more blacks than
accidents, HIV-AIDS, crime, heart disease, stroke and all other deaths
COMBINED!
DH: Many today are unfamiliar with the racist,
eugenicist roots of Planned Parenthood.
Do you consider the nation’s largest abortion provider to be a promoter
of or predator to the black community?
William
McGurn explains. Excerpt:
…could not the NAACP work for a society
where pregnant African-Americans had two doors open to them? Planned
Parenthood's not going anywhere, so the first would still lead to America's
largest abortion provider, a business that has already eliminated millions from
America's population. But the other would lead to people whose business is of a
vastly different order: welcoming these children into the world, and getting
their moms the help they need to live lives of purpose and dignity.
Then again, that would give women a real
choice.
Last
week, members of the House of Representatives held a “special order” to call
for the de-funding of the largest abortion provider in the nation. Many Americans have no idea that their tax
dollars subsidize the flag ship of the abortion industry and AdvanceUSA thanks
these House members for taking this bold stand.
LifeNews reports. See the video here.
The
Washington Times reports. Excerpt:
“Hoisting signs declaring "abortion is
not a family value," about 60 black demonstrators descended on Democratic
and Republican headquarters on Capitol Hill Thursday morning to demand that
political candidates refuse funding from Planned Parenthood.”
With
all the talk about sinister “big corporations” these days, it’s interesting
that Planned Parenthood often escapes scrutiny.
As The
Wall Street Journal and LifeNews
explain, the biggest abortion provider in the nation is drastically expanding
its business model.
LifeNews reports. Excerpt:
As it has done in past years, Planned
Parenthood abortion businesses in California are willing to shell out some of
their abortion profits to make sure they can leave parents in the dark about
teen abortions. They are, once again, spending heavily to defeat a parental
notification measure.
Planned
Parenthood is the biggest profiteer from the abortion industry and is understandably
hostile to any measure that would cut into profits, even if this involves
helping underage girls get abortions without notifying parents.
Denis
Boyles unravels the twisted tale of allegations of illegal abortions,
investigations, obstruction, cover-up, and other peculiar political
circumstances. This article is well
worth the read for any pro-lifer and perhaps could hopefully open many eyes to
the corruption
and deviousness of Planned Parenthood.
Excerpt:
Caleb Stegall, Kline’s lead attorney, saw
the case in simple terms. “Laws restricting and governing abortion are
worthless if they cannot be enforced,” he said, “and up until today, they have
not been enforced. Planned Parenthood wants to keep it that way. So the message
being sent by this case as a whole is if you try to enforce these laws, if you
even try to talk about enforcing these laws, we will bury you. This overriding
message has seeped into our body politic and threatens to corrupt some of our
most basic and cherished principles such as freedom of speech and political
debate, the rule of law, and the principle of equality before the law.”
AdvanceUSA
was privileged to sign onto a letter, along with other conservative organizations, encouraging
President Bush to tighten regulations regarding tax-dollars and Planned
Parenthood. The
Hill reports. Excerpt:
“We respectfully ask that you make the
necessary changes to the Title X regulations so that U.S. taxpayer funds are
not used to promote and facilitate abortion,” the groups wrote in the letter.
Title X provides nearly $300 million in
federal funds to family planning groups such as Planned Parenthood.
Former President Ronald Reagan first issued
regulations more than 20 years ago that prohibited family planning
organizations from providing advice to help women obtain abortions. The
Reagan-era regulations were upheld by the Supreme Court, but were then
rescinded soon after former President Bill Clinton took office in 1993.
CitizenLink reports. Excerpt:
Johnson County District Attorney Phill
Kline has charged Planned Parenthood's Kansas City clinic, Comprehensive
Health, with 107 criminal charges in district court, including 23 felonies.
Planned Parenthood wanted the court to
order Kline to return medical records from 30 patients' files. But the court
ruled today that Kline has proper legal clearance to be in possession of the
abortion records.
"It's about time the courts allowed
Phill Kline to do his job and conduct this investigation involving serious
allegations against Planned Parenthood," said Dawn Vargo…
Operation
Rescue has created a
helpful timeline of events to help people understand the outrageous
abortion scandals involving late-term abortionist George Tiller and Planned
Parenthood of Kansas. This is an
important case for the pro-life movement and we are grateful for this helpful
resource.
Planned
Parenthood has released its annual
report for 2008. The following
points are a few important and outrageous facts AdvanceUSA has been alerted to:
- An increase in the number of
provided abortions from 264,943 in 2005 to 289,650 in 2006.
- A doubling of “excess of
revenue over expenses” funds from $55.7 million in 2005 to $112 million in
2006.
- Acknowledge receipt of over
$336 million in [local, state, and federal] government grants and
contracts.
With
all the recent controversies regarding potential illegal activity by Planned
Parenthood centers across the country, why is Planned Parenthood getting our
tax dollars?

LifeNews reports. Excerpt:
A Johnson County grand jury has failed to
issue an indictment against a Planned Parenthood abortion center near Kansas
City. The verdict of "no true bill" comes after several allegations
that the grand jury process had been distorted by a judge who sided with the
abortion business in limiting the panel's access to abortion records.
The
Washington
Post also reports.
As
if Planned Parenthood could sink any lower.
LifeNews reports. Excerpt:
Pro-life members of Congress say the
federal government should stop funding Planned Parenthood through national family
programs because its teen-oriented web site features pornography.
The
Virginia Senate has voted to prohibit
funds for Planned Parenthood because they advocate for and perform
abortions. Let’s hope other states and
the federal government begin to follow their example. It is a travesty that the largest company in
the abortion industry receives millions of dollars in tax dollars.
LifeNews
has some helpful commentary on
Phill Kline, the Kansas district attorney and former Attorney General who
dared to hold Planned Parenthood accountable to the law. Kline has been unfairly maligned and this
piece helps shed the light of truth on the case.
District Attorney
Phill Kline

The
closing of five Planned Parenthood “clinics” is great news for pro-lifers. LifeNews
reports.
 The way Federal Title X (title ten) funds are spent in this country is in drastic need of reform. Title X funds are supposed to support family planning services but are often given to abortion providers like Planned Parenthood. Under President Ronald Reagan and the first President Bush, federal regulations were clearly written to prevent recipients of Title X funds from referring for abortions or combining family planning services with abortion services (ex: working at the same location). AdvanceUSA encourages the current Bush administration to issue Title X regulations which do two things:
- reestablish prohibitions against family planning services co-locating with abortion providers
- rescind regulations for family planning services which require them to refer for abortions
AdvanceUSA also supports legislation aimed at preventing taxpayers’ Title X funds from supporting groups like Planned Parenthood (especially since Planned Parenthood is under investigation for serious allegations of law-breaking and ethical malfeasance). American’s tax dollars should not be used to support abortion, and we hope Congress and the President will act accordingly.
Check the pro-life page for more pro-life news.
As
CitizenLink reports, “Nearly 50 pro-family groups [including AdvanceUSA] are
asking President Bush to pull federal funding from abortion providers.” AdvanceUSA was happy to partner with other
conservative groups to encourage the administration to prohibit tax-payer
dollars from supporting abortion providers under the guise of “family
planning services.”
The Washington Times reports on the latest Planned Parenthood scandal in Kansas. A grand jury will investigate allegations that Planned Parenthood broke state law regarding the age of girls receiving abortions as well as alleged cover-ups of sexual abuse. Excerpts:
An unprecedented investigation into abortion-clinic practices will commence soon in Kansas now that the state Supreme Court has cleared the way for a grand jury with subpoena powers to be convened.
And…
Planned Parenthood receives millions of dollars in government funding each year. "They should have to answer these criminal charges before they get another dime of our tax dollars," she [Jennifer Giroux, director of Women Influencing the Nation, a Cincinnati group that is active in pro-life issues] said.
This story provides more evidence for Rep. Mike Pence’s (R-IN) proposed amendment to prohibit tax-payer dollars from going to support organizations that promote or perform abortions, like Planned Parenthood.
An important
pro-life, pro-women piece in the National Review Online. Excerpt:
A nationally recognized
organization may be intentionally distributing false information while protecting
rapists and child predators. And the federal government has given them $3.9 billion since 1987
in taxpayer funds.
Planned Parenthood has been caught in a tangled web. The spotlight is finally
being shed on this organization, which has failed to legally report the
pregnancies of a 16-year-old
who was raped by her father, of an 11-year-old girl
who was impregnated by her stepfather, and of a 15-year-old who was
sexually assaulted and impregnated by her stepfather’s friend.
Believe it or not, it gets worse.
LifeNews reports. Rep.
Mike Pence (R-IN) is championing similar legislation in the House.
Brent
Bozell provides a thought-provoking and eye-opening
expose on the nation’s largest abortion provider, Planned Parenthood. The more Americans know about this gruesome company
the better.
Excerpt:
As much as liberals decry major
corporations that act as if they're above the law, there's always quiet when
the subject is Planned Parenthood,
America's No. 1
corporate provider of abortions. During its 2005-2006 fiscal year, the Planned
Parenthood Federation of America
performed a record 264,943 abortions, reported a tidy profit of $55.8 million
-- and received a record high in taxpayer funding of $305.3 million.
This is one corporation the media
hold in the highest regard. They're not "merchants of death." That
would be the tobacco companies, or gun manufacturers, or hamburger joints.
These are the heroic "providers" of "a woman's right to choose."
Bozell goes on to chronicle recent specific scandals
involving local Planned Parenthood branches.
Read the full article here.
On Thursday night the U.S. Senate defeated an amendment by Sen. David Vitter (R-LA) which would have “prohibit[ed] the provision of funds to grantees who perform abortions.” Unfortunately, this amendment failed by a vote of 41 to 52 (vote results here).
The Hyde Amendment, passed by Congress in 1976, forbids federal funding for abortion except in cases of rape, incest, and danger to the life of the woman. However organizations like Planned Parenthood often accept federal dollars and claim to use the funds for activities not related to abortions. This amendment would have broadened current law and prevented any money from going to organizations that perform abortions (except hospitals).
This was an important pro-life amendment and Sen. Vitter deserves our thanks for proposing it.
Planned Parenthood (the largest abortion provider in the world) released reports that revealed that in fiscal year 2005-2006 it performed almost 265,000 abortions yet did not report even one adoption referral. Planned Parenthood is the biggest profiteer from the abortion industry, and it is outrageous that it received $305 million in tax dollars in the latest fiscal year.
Tom McClusky from FRC in this telling
article on Planned Parenthood's real agenda reminds American citizens that
they unwittingly support the abortion industry through their tax dollars. Planned Parenthood
is the biggest abortion provider in the world and should not be supported with
federal, state, or local tax dollars.
