3. FOX NEWS: Planned Parenthood abandons Title X federal funds after Trump rule prohibits abortion referrals
"Planned Parenthood <[link removed]> announced Monday that it is pulling out of the Title X federal family planning program rather than abide by a new Trump administration rule prohibiting participants from referring patients for abortions. Pro-life groups heralded the abrupt decision as a major victory -- and one that signaled that Planned Parenthood, contrary to its claims, is primarily a politically motivated abortion provider, not a healthcare organization."
"About 4 million women are served nationwide under the Title X program, which distributes $260 million in grants to clinics. Planned Parenthood says it has served about 40% percent of patients."

5. LIBERTY HEADLINES: If you think ‘Born Alive’ after abortion never happens, think again
"As Democrats continue to advocate for third-trimester abortions, new state health statistics offer a startling fact: At least 40 infants were born alive after botched abortions across three states in 2016.
Some states are mandated by law to provide information about children who survive abortions, and recent reports from Minnesota, Arizona and Florida reveal the disturbing frequency of failed abortions. In 2018, three infants were born alive after attempted abortions. In 2017, 10 were born alive in Arizona. And since 2017, 19 infants have survived attempted abortions in Florida, according to Fox News."

WEEKLY PRAYER: OFFICIALS
LORD, we pray over the affairs of our country. You instructed us to pray for our elected and public officials, and so we raise our hands before you in public petition. We pray in particular over the Supreme Court and the various other federal and state courts. LORD, we pray protection and wisdom over them. May their judgments match your justice.
Grant all our public officials and servants humility, wisdom, and guidance.
Amen
