Why Planned Parenthood Doesn’t Care
(AUL) After the recent news of Planned Parenthood’s departure from the Title X federal family planning program, many have made the point that the abortion giant’s decision to kick itself out of Title X in favor of continuing to refer women for abortions rather puts the lie to its claim to be “America’s most trusted provider of sexual and reproductive health care.” Some even ask, “Why doesn’t Planned Parenthood seem to care?”
Buttigieg Caters to the Abortion-Rights Constituency
(National Review) His veto wasn’t right for women and families in South Bend. But it was the right thing, surely, for his political aspirations. And his choice to use the incident as a stump-speech anecdote catering to NARAL’s voters reveals that he issued that veto caring much less about the fate of women in his city than he did about how his decision would affect his political fate.
Defund grotesque taxpayer-funded human fetal tissue experiments on lab animals
(The Washington Examiner) Even in this contentious political climate, surely everyone, pro-lifers, animal lovers, Republicans and Democrats, can agree that taxpayers should not be forced to foot the bill for these disgusting human fetal tissue experiments on animals. The Trump Administration deserves everyone’s applause for its moves against this government waste and abuse.

Planned Parenthood withdraws from Title X, objecting to Trump administration’s abortion rule
(America Magazine) Catherine Glenn Foster, president and CEO of Americans United for Life, said in an Aug. 15 statement it was "no surprise Planned Parenthood is withdrawing from Title X." She said the organization knows this decision "will feed its reality distortion field that, despite being one of the most generously tax-funded nonprofits in America, it is somehow being attacked simply because the Department of Health and Human Services wishes to respect congressional intent. And Congress was clear: Title X was never meant to fund abortions. The law is clear."
On Title X, the Media Parrot Planned Parenthood’s Misleading Talking Points
(National Review) In short, the “gag rule” isn’t really a “gag rule.” Planned Parenthood is free under the regulation to provide abortion counseling, but it doesn’t want to separate its contraception business from its abortion business, as required by the statute establishing Title X. The new regulation is not simply a meaningful step in the right direction for the pro-life cause, it’s a win for the rule of law.
2020 Dems Blame Trump for Planned Parenthood’s Abortion Craze
(Townhall) The Trump administration had a different take. On August 20, Vice President Mike Pence responded, “Planned Parenthood’s withdrawal from Title X shows it will always choose abortion over health care for vulnerable women.” He concluded, “Taxpayer dollars should never go to an org that recklessly disregards the sanctity of life.”
