January 23rd, 2013 10:20 AM
In the 40 years since the Supreme Court’s Roe v. Wade decision, more than 56 million children have been legally killed in the womb. By it’s own accounting, the nation’s largest abortion mill, Planned Parenthood, performed a record high 333,964 abortions in 2011 alone, even as it was cutting back on the other women’s health services it likes to tout. (It provided more than 100,000 breast-health…

Planned Parenthood Campaign Eliminates ‘Pro-Life,’ ‘Pro-Choice
January 18th, 2013 3:55 PM
It’s a favorite liberal tactic: If you’re losing an argument, just change the terms of the debate, and let your media water-carriers adopt the new language. So, days before the fortieth anniversary of the Roe v. Wade decision, Planned Parenthood unleashed a new video campaign that not only attacks pro-life language, but also pro-choice terminology.
Planned Parenthood’s latest campaign, Not in…

October 19th, 2012 5:12 PM
As we've noted here at NewsBusters, the Washington Post's Laura Vozzella has done her level best to attack Virginia's new strict abortion clinic regulations.

August 27th, 2012 3:05 PM
When it comes to dispensing the casual lie, few leftists in media rival Rachel Maddow.
Most recent example -- Maddow claiming on her MSNBC show Aug. 22 that Republicans wanted to shut down the federal government in April 2011 to stop taxpayer funding of Planned Parenthood, the nation's leading abortion chain. (video after page break) --

In Obama Ad, Actress Offers Tampon TMI, But Can't Say the Word 'Aborti
August 12th, 2012 12:59 PM
Actress Elizabeth Banks made a campaign video for Obama-Biden 2012 – just barely. Almost the entire 75 seconds is a defense of Planned Parenthood and their “essential services,” which is the euphemism feminists use to describe America’s leading provider of abortions.
In fact, Banks could not bring herself to even mention the word or the concept of abortions, except indirectly as “that little…

March 29th, 2012 2:22 PM
The mainstream media is reporting that donations to Susan G. Komen for the Cure have dropped substantially in the wake of its decision and subsequent reversal to defund Planned Parenthood.
According to the MSM, this must be due to disgruntled Planned Parenthood supporters, for instance this March 23 CBS News story:

Keys to Abortion Industry’s Success: Public Relations and Liberal Ne
December 7th, 2011 9:23 PM
The abortion industry’s public relations machinery has always intrigued me. At any given time I can tell which agenda items anti-life groups have directed their PR firms to push by news articles, op eds, and tweets I read. If you pay attention you see there are always particular topics the other side is swarming around.
Right now, for instance, their focus is on making the morning after pill…
Siri 'Scandal' Due to Deceptive Advertising by Abortion Clinics
December 6th, 2011 1:03 PM
Last week abortion proponents thought they had discovered a terrible conspiracy, that covert pro-lifers at Apple had secretly programed the new iPhone feature Siri to be pro-life.
Siri is an “intelligent personal assistant” to which (whom?) you can ask questions, and Siri will answer you. If you ask Siri, “Where can I get a good hotdog?” it will respond, “I found several hotdog restaurants…
