Fiorina’s claim that the secretly recorded Planned Parenthood… Thu, 17 Sep 2015 07:53:08 EDT Sarah Posner 810b973c-1529-48ba-b4a2-17264f1caf4d https://religiondispatches.org/2015/08/12/planned-parenthood-gets-religious-support A total of 56 faith-based groups have sent a letter to members of the Senate voicing their support for Planned Parenthood and urging them to reject efforts to defund the organization: We represent millions of people of faith committed to… Wed, 12 Aug 2015 05:14:48 EDT Patricia Miller 74e523ac-828b-45f2-82a0-a33055e80279 https://religiondispatches.org/2015/07/20/religion-lies-and-videotape-planned-parenthood-and-latest-fake-sting I got snookered by a fake news story from the Pope. “Vatican says Pope will ordain women as priests.” I was deceived by an infomercial on late night TV. “Thin thighs in thirty days.” One of these was amusing, the… Mon, 20 Jul 2015 06:07:27 EDT Donna Schaper ed96fe0c-e2a3-4082-a95a-46dea0cfc5bf https://religiondispatches.org/2013/01/23/pro-choice-passe Roe v.

The release said the Newsweek profile led to physical threats and the posting of the Masons’ home address in comments—and implicated The Daily Beast’s “notoriously liberal” readers and “pro-choice criminals” in the alleged vandalism.

But for abortion providers Weslin’s nonviolence is just violence by another name.

What’s the aim of these hoax visits? Support for PRENDA, the Prenatal Nondiscrimination Act, a bill currently making its way through Congress.

I also used to be fraulein and now I am a frau. I used to be a mademoiselle and now I am madame, a señorita and now a señora. In other words, I am a mature woman whose human rights are vanishing before her very eyes. For a long time, I have become habituated to freedom, confusing myself, apparently, with a human being—or even a man. I don’t like it when Congress treats me like a girl by hacking away at abortion rights and talking about eliminating funds for family planning.

The current furor over the Susan G. Komen Foundation’s decision to withdraw funding for Planned Parenthood highlighted the role of Eve Sanchez Silver, founder of a little-known group called the International Coalition of Color for Life. According to the Los Angeles Times, Sanchez Silver, a former medical research analyst for and charter member of the Komen Foundation, has been a leading advocate against Planned Parenthood within Komen.
