True to his word, President Donald Trump has appointed yet another defender of unborn babies to his administration.
Dr. Diane Foley is a pro-life OBGYN who once ran Life Network, a pro-life pregnancy resource organization in Colorado. On Tuesday, she was installed as the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services deputy assistant secretary for population affairs. One of Foley’s primary jobs will be overseeing Title X Family Planning funds, of which the Planned Parenthood abortion chain receives about $60 million a year. A newly proposed Trump administration policy would defund the abortion giant of those tax dollars. Title X is just one of the sources from which Planned Parenthood receives taxpayer funding, but Foley could play an instrumental role in introducing pro-life policies into the department. (read more) The Trump administration recently proposed new rules for the Title X family-planning grant program, which could effectively strip Planned Parenthood of an annual $60 million in taxpayer funding.
While the proposed rules would prohibit federal funds from going to facilities that commit abortions or refer clients to abortion facilities, another part of the new rule that is getting little attention is the section requiring Title X recipients to comply with state laws for reporting suspected child sexual abuse and rape. Since 1999, federal regulations have made clear that all Title X grantees should follow state mandatory-reporter laws, but the new proposal makes that long-running expectation into a requirement. Why the change? What organization wouldn’t already follow state laws to protect innocent children from sexual predators? Planned Parenthood. There have been numerous cases over the years in which Planned Parenthood performed abortions on child victims of sexual abuse without alerting the authorities. In fact, a 2014 study on sex trafficking found that Planned Parenthood was the top most-visited clinical facility for trafficking victims, second only to hospital emergency rooms.

The horrific criminal cases, civil lawsuits, and health department records alone — some recently uncovered by Live Action and some published previously by other pro-life organizations — are, in and of themselves, substantial evidence showing Planned Parenthood’s disregard for victims of child sexual abuse. Add to that Live Action’s undercover investigations, along with testimonies from former Planned Parenthood staffers who witnessed Planned Parenthood’s complicity in failing to report suspicion of abuse, and the proof is overwhelming.

Tom Evans posted a message on Facebook to tell supporters that he and Alfie’s mother will be informing the world of what transpired in the five days between Alfie’s ventilator being torn from his lungs and the boy’s death. “It’s been 1 month and 2 weeks since our gladiator was [taken] away from us, deprived, neglected, mistreated and respected!” Evans wrote on June 16. “We wanted everyone to know that in time as we grieve, we will be speaking out further [about] the build up to Alfie’s death,” he continued, “and we will be speaking out the truth and in detail about the week that we had to go through, that no other parents should ever, ever go through or imagine!” ...Evans referred to a recent disclosure, thanks to a freedom of information inquiry, that Alder Hey Children’s NHS Foundation Trust had paid over £145,000 in legal bills in its quest to bring the child’s life to an end. He described the hospital’s actions as murder. “They paid £143k on murdering my son and taking our lives away from us,” he wrote. “We are not done! We are angry, upset, distraught, and truly heartbroken.” (read full article) WASHINGTON, D.C., June 20, 2018 (LifeSiteNews) – The United States will be exiting the United Nations Human Rights Council, Ambassador Nikki Haley confirmed Tuesday, citing the body’s record of failing and neglecting its titular mission.
Haley blasted the council, which has promoted abortion and the LGBT agenda, as “a protector of human rights abusers, and a cesspool of political bias,” Fox News reports. “I want to make it crystal clear that this step is not a retreat from our human rights commitments,” Haley stressed. “On the contrary. We take this step because our commitment does not allow us to remain a part of a hypocritical and self-serving organization that makes a mockery of human rights.” (read more) |
