Planned Parenthood is the nation’s top abortion provider and one of the top providers of transgender hormones for minors in the U.S., receiving nearly $800M from taxpayers annually — and there are many reasons why it should not be supported with taxpayer dollars.

Texas officials have filed a lawsuit against Planned Parenthood, alleging the abortion giant filed millions in false Medicaid claims, potentially facing a $1.8 billion judgment with repayments, damages, and fines under the federal False Claims Act. The Texas Office of the Inspector General found that Planned Parenthood violated federal regulations by altering abortion procedures to harvest baby body parts, leading to the termination of its Medicaid provider contract.

Filed June 30 in U.S. district court by several organizations including Not Dead Yet and the Institute for Patients’ Rights, the lawsuit describes Colorado’s assisted suicide regime as “a deadly and discriminatory system that steers people with life-threatening disabilities away from necessary lifesaving and preserving mental health care.”

The U.S. State Department’s Bureau of Democracy, Human Rights, and Labor (DRL) issued a public statement Tuesday criticizing the UK Parliament’s decision to advance the legislation of assisted suicide. “As the UK Parliament considers support for state-subsidized suicide, euphemistically called a bill for ‘Terminally Ill Adults,’ the United States reaffirms the sanctity of life,” the bureau posted on X. “The western world should stand for life, vitality and hope over surrender and death.”

Attorney General Pam Bondi said the investigation into five aborted babies left outside a late-term abortion facility remains ongoing. On Monday, Republican U.S. Rep. Riley Moore of West Virginia urged U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi to investigate fetal remains discarded years ago by an abortion facility in the nation’s capital for possible cases of infanticide that so far have evaded justice.

Archbishop John Sherrington of Liverpool, who oversees life issues for the bishops of England and Wales, has called the recent passage of a bill to legalize assisted suicide a turning point in the country’s devaluation of the dignity of life. “I think we’ve crossed a watershed, that fundamental line in the sand that a life is always to be protected and that one cannot assist another person’s suicide… there’s an erosion of the value of the dignity of life,” the archbishop told EWTN News in an interview via video call from Liverpool this week.

On June 20, 2025, Tamara Jansen (MP – Cloverdale – Langley City) introduced private members Bill C-218 in the House of Commons to prevent (MAiD) euthanasia for mental illness by excluding mental disorders from being considered a “grievous and irremediable medical condition” for the purposes of MAiD. If passed no one would be eligible for MAID for mental illness alone.

We are beginning to get a clear picture of what post-Roe America looks like. Twelve states ban abortion with exceptions, including Alabama, Arkansas, Idaho, Indiana, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, Oklahoma, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, and West Virginia. Twelve states have enshrined the right to kill unborn children into their state constitutions: Arizona, California, Kansas, Maryland, Michigan, Missouri (although their legal regime is in flux), Montana, Nevada, New York, Ohio, and Vermont. Abortion remains legal in 31 states, and legal battles have broken out between pro-life states and abortion states, as activists have set up mail-order abortion pill networks to ship the dangerous drugs into states in “abortion deserts” where there are no clinics.
