PLANNED PARENTHOOD ALWAYS PUTS PROFITS FIRST, by Danielle White. “Planned Parenthood has made headlines again — not for expanding services or even improving the lives of those it claims to serve in any measurable way. No, the giant abortion business is throwing a legal temper tantrum to maintain its taxpayer funding. …Now more than 20 Democratic attorneys general have sued to restore Planned Parenthood’s access to federal Medicaid reimbursements that were limited for a single year by the ‘One Big Beautiful Bill.’ Planned Parenthood’s response? Take the Trump Administration to court to keep Americans’ hard-earned money flowing into their bank account. It’s a revealing moment. And it lays bare the truth: Planned Parenthood is not driven by a mission of mercy. It is driven by money.” Read more here.

THE RENOWNED WOMEN BEHIND THE REIGN (AND RETURN) OF TRANSACTIVISM, by Rudolph Lambert Fernandez. “To gender-critical feminists, the social contagion of transactivism (enforced mainstreaming of trans ideology) is all down to perverted men and their ‘misogyny.’ Men started it; men must stop it. It’s a (white) male supremacist, men’s rights movement, privileging the reality show of ‘gender’ over the reality of sex, while normalising paedophilia, porn, prostitution or their variants. Women have nothing to do with it. After all, misogyny is what’s done to—not by—women.” Read more here.

WRIST SLAP FOR MAN WHO ATTACKED PRO-LIFERS PROVES THE FACE ACT WAS ALWAYS A LAWFARE TOOL, by Jordan Boyd. “If pro-life activist and father Mark Houck can be arrested and have his house raided by the FBI for shoving a pro-abortionist who repeatedly initiated profanity-laced verbal confrontations with Houck and his son, the 28-year-old man who brutally beat two elderly pro-lifers outside of a Planned Parenthood should get some jail time, right? Wrong. Surveillance footage of the 2023 attack shows Patrick Brice tackling and repeatedly wailing on two men who were posted outside of the Baltimore abortion facility advocating and praying for unborn children.” Read more here.

RAPE CRISIS CHARITIES SHOULD NEVER HAVE BEEN FORCED TO ACCEPT GENDER-CONFUSED MEN, by Jonathon Van Maren. “Of all the cruelties advocated by LGBT activists during the transgender culture war, none is as stark and unforgivable as their fight to force rape crisis organizations to accept trans-identifying men over the protest of vulnerable and victimized women. The Survivor’s Network, a rape crisis charity in Brighton, England, has been at the center of this fight for several years.” Read more here.
