Abortion

In this episode, we explore an undercover investigation by a pro-life group that claims Planned Parenthood is prescribing cross-sex hormones to minors without requiring paperwork. Then, we break down a recent appeals court decision that partially upheld a ruling against Southwest Airlines for allegedly firing a pro-life employee due to her religious beliefs. Plus, we discuss Joe Rogan's thought-provoking take on science and faith, where he questions the Big Bang theory and suggests the Resurrection might be more plausible.

The proposal, folded into Trump’s ‘big beautiful bill,’ follows a move by the administration to strip Planned Parenthood of Title X funding last month. House Republicans are proposing a cut to Medicaid reimbursements for organizations like Planned Parenthood as part of their sweeping policy bill to implement President Donald Trump’s agenda. The rule applies to any organization that receives more than a million dollars in annual federal funding, including Planned Parenthood, the nation’s largest abortion provider. It blocks funding for such organizations for 10 years.

The organization took in $792.2 million in government grants, contracts and Medicaid reimbursements, up $92.9 million from the previous report.

More than 180 pro-life state legislators from 49 states have sent a letter to congressional leaders urging them to end Planned Parenthood’s receipt of federal funds. The letter comes as Congress is considering restricting, through the budget reconciliation process, federal dollars from going to the nation’s largest abortion provider. “We’re absolutely making it clear to everybody that this bill is going to redirect funds away from Big Abortion and to federally qualified health centers,” House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., said at a recent pro-life gala. The state lawmakers’ letter was...

More than one in 20 women need a second abortion attempt after the abortion pill fails, a new analysis of insurance claim data shows. Over 5% of women had to undergo a repeat abortion attempt within 45 days of taking mifepristone, indicating that the first mifepristone abortion attempt failed, according to an analysis from the Ethics and Public Policy Center released Monday. The Center analyzed insurance claims data from 865,727 mifepristone abortions between 2017 and 2023. A total of 45,498 women needed a second abortion attempt to complete their abortions...

The Catholic church’s social service arm has long offered resources to women with unplanned or unwelcome pregnancies to give them alternatives to abortion, which the church’s leadership opposes.
