Planned Parenthood Chooses Abortion Over Federal Funding

Planned Parenthood announced Monday that they will no longer receive Title X funds. 


The Trump administration recently put new guidelines in place for organizations that receive Title X, a federal grant program that provides preventive health and family planning services. The first change took effect Monday, August 19. Participating providers were required to submit a plan explaining how their organizations intend to comply with the new rule that they are unable to refer abortion services to women. By September 18, they will need to certify that they are indeed following through with their plan, and it is then being implemented.

Refuses to comply with what they consider a "gag rule." 

The organization believes that it is important to give their patients all of their options. In their eyes, this includes where and how to receive an abortion.

Pro-Life Victory

Many people have stated their desire to defund Planned Parenthood.

In 2016, President Trump stated "I would defund it because of the abortion factor, which they say is 3 percent. I don't know what percent it is. They say that it's 3 percent. But I would defund it, because I'm pro-life."

"The Title X program was not intended to be a slush fund for abortion businesses like Planned Parenthood," Majorie Dannenfelser, the president of the Susan B. Anthony List, a national anti-abortion group, said.

"If Planned Parenthood wants to be involved in providing counseling services and HIV testing, they ought not be in the business of providing abortions," stated Mike Pence.

What Happens Next...

"While Planned Parenthood health centers make up just 13 percent of Title X centers, they serve 41% of the 4 million patients who get care through the program," Planned Parenthood's website explains. 

Now that the organization decided to remove themselves from the program, will more pro-life providers step in the fill the gap in coverage? Which providers will benefit from the millions of dollars that are now available through the federal grant program?

Georgia Urges Federal Judge to Dismiss "Heartbeat Bill" Lawsuit

Don't Go Breakin' Georgia's Heart(Beat Bill) Georgia made a compelling argument when the state asked a federal judge not to block the heartbeat bill that's set to take effect Jan. 1.  Attorneys representing the state argued in court Monday that the bill "advances Georgia's unique and substantial constitutional interest in protecting unborn human lives, in addition to its interests in protecting maternal health, encouraging childbirth, and safe safeguarding the integrity of the medical profession." They went on to defend the law stating that it is indeed "constitutional and justified." What You Need to Know If the bill passes, pregnant women would be unable to obtain an abortion once a heartbeat can be detected (generally around 6 weeks). The law does contain exceptions. A woman would still be allowed to receive an abortion in the case of rape or incest if a police report was previously filed.  Exceptions would also be available for wo

Who's Deadlier? Planned Parenthood or COVID-19

  It's Closer than You Think Contrary to what you might expect, the results are actually much closer than what you would like to believe.  According to the CDC , in 2020 there were 376,098 COVID-19 related deaths in the United States. Planned Parenthood disclosed 345,672 abortion services on to their  latest annual report . That doesn't even include the additional 593,586 emergency contraception kits.  Govenment Funded Deaths Planned Parenthood revealed that government funding was their number one source of revenue on their   2018-2019 annual report . In fact, they received 616.8 million dollars from government health services reimbursements and grants.  Exploiting Women Planned Parenthood takes advantage of women. One would think that an organization with such a name would help women plan their parenthood, but this could not be further from the truth.  Numbers simply don't lie. During the course of an entire year, the organization  reported  only 9,798 prenatal services an

Shocking Developmemt of Artificial Womb to Grow Lamb Fetus

Are Artifical Wombs the Future? Premature babies are born evey day. It's common for them develop several different health complications including death. One of the primary reasons for these problems is that their lungs are undeveloped, and they will not continue to grow once they have been exposed to the outside air. What if we could find a way to continue the development of a fetus to help ensure a healthier human being? Is it even possible? The Lamb Experiment An experiment was conducted at the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia. Eight lamb fetuses were born prematurely and inserted into artifical wombs. Oxygen was administered through a tube like an umbilical cord.  What happened next would shock the world! The lambs started to flourish. They progressed to gain weight, open their eyes, and grow wool coats. Even their organs developed properly. Great Goals The ultimate goal is to help premature babies. Approximately 30,000 infants are born prematu
