Obama-Appointed Judge Blocks Trump’s Efforts To Defund Planned Parenthood– dailycaller.com

Excerpt:

A Massachusetts district judge blocked the Trump administration on Monday from effectively defunding Planned Parenthood for a year.

Judge Indira Talwani ruled that the withholding of Medicaid funds possibly violated the First Amendment’s right of association, according to court documents. The case stems from a provision in Trump’s tax bill that eliminates Medicaid reimbursements to abortion providers that received more than $800,000 in Medicaid reimbursements in 2023 for one year, regardless of the other services the provider offered.

“The court’s order does not require the federal government to spend money not already appropriated for Medicaid or any other funds,” Talwani wrote. “Instead, this order grants preliminary relief that prevents Defendants from targeting a specific group of entities — Planned Parenthood Federation Members — for exclusion from reimbursements under the Medicaid program where Plaintiffs have established a substantial likelihood that they will succeed in establishing that such targeted exclusion violated the United States Constitution, and where Plaintiffs satisfy the remaining requirements to obtain a preliminary injunction.”

Planned Parenthood Federation of America, Planned Parenthood League of Massachusetts and Planned Parenthood Association of Utah filed a joint lawsuit against Robert F. Kennedy Jr, the Secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), following the passage of Trump’s tax bill.

DOJ, FBI Shut Down Disgusting Websites That Attracted Tens of Thousands – PJ Media– pjmedia.com

Excerpt:

Last week, the Department of Justice (DOJ), along with the FBI, announced that it had finally completed a five-year program called Operation Grayskull. The results were the dismantling of four absolutely horrific dark websites that contained child sexual abuse material (CSAM) and the convictions of 18 individuals who will serve over 300 years in prison collectively.

According to CBS, these websites attracted over 120,000 members and received 100,000 visits per day. They contained millions of CSAM files.

The 18 men who were prosecuted were found guilty on charges including conspiracy to advertise child pornography, advertisement of child pornography, and possession of child pornography, and their sentences range from five years and a few months up to life in federal prison. They’ve also been ordered to pay hundreds of thousands of dollars in restitution to the victims.

One of those men is William Michael Spearman, a man in his late fifties who resides in Madison, Ala. Or he did. He has since been sentenced to life in prison. The DOJ calls him the “lead administrator” of one of the websites that specifically posted CSAM and torture media involving toddlers and infants. He “managed numerous other ‘staff’ members, directed them on how to help run the site, recommended other users for promotion, kept records of child sexual abuse material advertised and distributed over the site, presided over staff meetings, praised and scolded users, and counseled users and other managers about the functions and expectations of the website,” according to the federal agency.

In June, the Trump administration ended a federal partnership with the Trevor Project, a leftist nonprofit that purports to provide suicide-prevention support to supposed LGBTQ+ (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer-plus) children through the federally funded 988 Lifeline. Callers will now be directed to the main hotline.

The Trevor Project bills itself as “the leading suicide prevention and crisis intervention nonprofit organization for LGBTQ+ young people” and aggressively pushes so-called “gender-affirming” surgeries (like “cross-sex hormones, castration, and breast removal”) onto kids. It has routinely hinted that any opposition to the gay agenda leads to suicides.

It has also figured commonly in PBS News coverage, which regularly promotes the group’s slanted surveys on so-called suicidal ideation among LGBTQ youth. Misinformation from the Trevor Project has been cited eight times on the News Hour and three times on PBS News Weekend, including interviews with the group’s CEO. It’s even seeped into PBS’s coverage aimed at children themselves.

Excerpt:

A federal appeals court ruled July 24 that a Christian single mother in Oregon is temporarily exempted from a state department rule that had barred her from adopting because she refused to promote gender ideology to adopted children or take them to pride parades.

Legal nonprofit Alliance Defending Freedom (ADF) stated in a news release that the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 9th Circuit decided that the Oregon Department of Human Services’ (ODHS) exclusion of Jessica Bates from the adoption system likely violates the First Amendment. The ruling allows her to begin the adoption process while her lawsuit plays out. ADF is representing Bates, a mother of five, in court.

The contended ODHS policy requires “that prospective parents applying to adopt children from foster care must agree to ‘respect, accept, and support’ the children’s sexual orientation, gender identity, and gender expression,” according to the July 24 ruling.

The Washington State Department of Health website has posted a notice on its website stating that “due to funding cuts,” it has halted its so-called “Death with Dignity Program,” meaning that while eligible patients may still commit assisted suicide, reports documenting the practice will no longer be released.

The health agency said it has made the “difficult decision” to discontinue its assisted suicide report so that staff can focus on “prioritiz[ing] patient safety and other critical work,” according to The Telegraph. 

“A 2024 annual statistical report will not be released. The most recent available data year is 2023,” states the Washington Health website.

Titled “Report: How the Biden-Wray FBI Manufactured a False Narrative of Catholic Americans as Violent Extremists,” the report centers on newly released documents that contradict former FBI Director Christopher Wray’s testimony claiming the anti-Catholic 2023 Richard memo was an isolated incident. That memo, circulated by the FBI’s Richmond Field Office, labeled “radical traditionalist Catholics” as “racially or ethnically motivated violent extremists.”

Columbia University’s famed pro-Palestinian activist Mahmoud Khalil said it is “absurd” and “disingenuous” to ask him if he condemns the terrorist group Hamas.

Khalil repeatedly avoided answering the direct question during a recent interview on CNN. The Trump administration tried to deport Khalil and accused him of lying on his visa application after he omitted his work with the United Nations Relief and Works Agency.

The Trump administration is also seeking to deport Khalil, an Algerian national, on the grounds he is sympathetic to Hamas and is promoting antisemitism.

“Just to be clear here, do you specifically condemn Hamas, a designated terrorist organization in the United States, not just for their action on Oct. 7?” CNN’s Pamela Brown asked Khalil on Tuesday.

“I condemn the killing of all civilians, full stop,” Khalil said. Brown asked again, but Khalil kept talking.

“To me, it‘s always, as I said, disingenuous and absurd to ask such questions when literally 62,000 Palestinians have been killed by Israel,” he said. “And that‘s why I wouldn‘t really engage much into such questions on condemnation or not. Because selective condemnation wouldn‘t get us anywhere. It’s just like [hypocritical] to be honest.”

“Jessica is a caring mom of five who is now free to adopt after Oregon officials excluded her because of her common-sense belief that a girl cannot become a boy or vice versa.”

A federal court of appeals has sided with an Oregon woman who sued the state over an adoption rule by the Oregon Department of Human Services (ODHS) that went against her Christian beliefs. The woman was seeking to adopt children and prevented from doing so by LGBTQ laws.

The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals issued a preliminary injunction barring the ODHS from applying Oregon Administrative Rule Section 413- 200-0308(2)(k) to Jessica Bates while the lawsuit plays out in lower courts.

The rule states that those seeking to foster or adopt children in the state must “Respect, accept and support the race, ethnicity, cultural identities, national origin, immigration status, sexual orientation, gender identity, gender expression, disabilities, spiritual beliefs, and socioeconomic status, of a child or young adult in the care or custody of the Department, and provide opportunities to enhance the positive self-concept and understanding of the child or young adult’s heritage.”

Planned Parenthood Closes Five Northern California Centers After Defunding– www.lifenews.com

The Planned Parenthood abortion business is closing more centers – with another 5 closing in northern California thanks to the defunding bill President trump signed that took $300 million in taxpayer dollars away from the abortion giant.

California’s Planned Parenthood affiliates, the state’s largest abortion company, have lost $300 million in federal funding following the new federal law that defunds America’s biggest abortion business.

The congressional reconciliation bill, dubbed the “One Big Beautiful Bill Act,” signed by President Donald Trump earlier this month, prohibits Medicaid reimbursements for nonprofit health clinics that kill babies and receive more than $800,000 in federal funding annually, effectively cutting off federal support for California’s 114 Planned Parenthood clinics.

Planned Parenthood Mar Monte announced the closure of five health centers in Northern California and the Central Coast on Thursday, attributing the decision to federal funding cuts enacted through President Donald Trump’s “Big, Beautiful Bill.” The closures, affecting abortion centers in South San Francisco, Gilroy, Seaside, Merced, and North Highlands, mark a significant victory for pro-life advocates who have long sought to redirect taxpayer dollars away from abortion businesses.

Excerpt:

On July 22, America’s largest transgender youth “clinic” shut its doors in response to an executive order banning the practice of chemical and surgical mutilation of children.

The Center for Transyouth Health and Development (CTH) at Children’s Hospital Los Angeles has administered experimental transgender “treatments” for more than 30 years, providing puberty-blocking hormones and genitalia surgeries to thousands of children and young adults. Despite a complete lack of data to support the practice and mounting evidence of its harm, CTH clinicians had no intention of shutting down before Trump’s order forced the hospital’s hand.

Entitled “Protecting Children from Chemical and Surgical Mutilation,” the White House order states that U.S. policy will no longer “fund, sponsor, promote, assist, or support the so-called ‘transition’ of a child from one sex to another,” and will “rigorously enforce all laws that prohibit or limit these destructive and life-altering procedures.”

After a “thorough legal and financial assessment,” the hospital decided to cut its losses.

Planned Parenthood Files Lawsuit to Keep Teenagers’ Abortions Hidden from Parents– slaynews.com

Excerpt:

Planned Parenthood has just filed a lawsuit in Nevada that seeks to allow the organization to keep teenagers’ abortions hidden from their parents.

For decades, Nevada’s Republican-led legislature has fought to enforce a law requiring that parents be notified before an abortion is performed on a minor.

Now, just as the law is on the verge of enforcement, a lawsuit filed by Planned Parenthood Mar Monte aims to keep the law in legal limbo, claiming that it violates the state’s constitution.

The law, passed in 1985, was immediately met with resistance.

The 9th Circuit Court of Appeals placed it on permanent hold, blocking its enforcement for years.

However, the Supreme Court’s 2022 Dobbs v. Jackson decision, which overturned the nationwide right to abortion, revived the issue, paving the way for the law’s potential enforcement.

 

Texas man sues California doctor for sending abortion pills to girlfriend coerced by ex-husband– www.lifesitenews.com

Excerpt:

(LifeSiteNews) — Yet another front has opened in the cross-border abortion wars. Texas man Jerry Rodriguez has filed a federal wrongful death lawsuit against California doctor Remy Coeytaux, alleging that the physician sent abortion pills by mail to his girlfriend—and that the pills were used to kill his pre-born child. 

With the fall of Roe v. Wade, vast underground networks of mail-order abortion pills have been established, with pills being sent from blue states where abortion is legal to red states where pre-born children have state protection. This has launched a flurry of litigation between states, with blue states such as New York vowing to protect abortionists who facilitate feticide across state lines, even when the mail-order pills result in harm to girls and women as well as the intended human target of the medication.  

Two Americas are emerging in the post-Roe era. In one, pre-born children are recognized as human beings and entitled to at least some level of protection. In the other, pre-born children are treated as parasites or medical waste, and abortionists are protected by politicians from extradition as they market their wares by mail. 

The latest lawsuit, filed on July 20, seeks civil damages against Remy Coeytaux, with Jerry Rodriguez alleging that the doctor violated both state and federal laws. Rodriguez claims that his girlfriend’s ex-husband paid for the pills, and Coeytaux mailed them from California to Texas. His girlfriend, says Rodriguez, took the pills on at least two occasions under pressure from her estranged ex-husband.

As Israel continues its assault on Gaza, enables settler violence in the West Bank, and launches strikes on Syria, Lebanon, and Yemen, American conservatives are taking special note of one form of Israeli belligerence: attacks on Christians in the Holy Land.

An Israeli tank last week shelled the only Catholic church in Gaza, killing three and gravely wounding several. Over in the West Bank, settlers in recent weeks have intensified their attacks on Christian communities, including in the town of Taybeh, where they set cars aflame and erected a sign that read “there is no future for you here,” among other indignities.

Many American Christians, including high-profile MAGA influencers, have had enough—jeopardizing one of Israel’s most vital bases of Western support.

A Christian man has been arrested in Lahore under Pakistan’s controversial blasphemy laws, following what local rights groups allege is a fabricated accusation stemming from a neighbourhood dispute—not a religious offence.

Aamir Masih, a retired government education worker and father of two, was taken into custody by South Cantonment police after Sanwar Ali, a Muslim shopkeeper in Nishat Colony, lodged a complaint accusing Masih of making derogatory remarks about the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH). The FIR was registered under Section 295-C of the Pakistan Penal Code, a section that carries a mandatory sentence of life imprisonment or death.

The complainant alleges that Masih made the remarks during a discussion in his shop about the country’s current political and economic challenges. According to the FIR, Masih fled the scene when confronted.

However, local residents and human rights defenders have strongly contested the allegations, saying the charge is being misused to settle a personal grudge related to a drainage dispute.

The new authorities in Damascus have largely been met with a cautious sigh of relief by the international community.

Al-Sharaa has met with leaders from Western powers, including the UK, the EU and the US. Donald Trump even called the new president “handsome”.

What followed was the lifting of many crippling sanctions that were imposed on the Assad regime for crimes against the Syrian people. Today, 90% of the population still lives below the poverty line, and the economy hangs by a thread.

Although many have lauded al-Sharaa for providing stability to a country ravaged by over a decade of war, Syria has endured multiple eruptions of interethnic violence, notably in early March when Alawite communities were massacred in coastal regions.

While al-Sharaa at the time called for calm and promised an independent investigation into claims that government-affiliated forces initiated what one commentator called the “orgy of violence,” many believe the president was complicit.

“They asked (the Alawites) to hand over weapons,” the Suwayda resident said during their interview. “When the weapons were handed over, and the Syrian coastal area became isolated … they attacked and committed terrible massacres against humanity.”

“The entire villages were killed and exterminated. Houses and houses were burned.”

Sheikh Hikmat agreed, adding, “They use a local group to stir up strife, and then they carry out mass killings against their opponents.”

Excerpt:

An activist federal judge says Planned Parenthood may have a First Amendment right to challenge a law that deprives it of federal Medicaid dollars.

Massachusetts District Judge Indira Talwani, an Obama appointee, ruled last night that Planned Parenthood can challenge a provision in the recently passed federal budget reconciliation bill which generally prohibits abortion vendors from receiving Medicaid dollars. The judge’s ruling extends a temporary injunction she offered soon after the passage of the bill; in fact, the temporary restraining order was unbelievably fast and unrealistic according to at least one legal scholar.

Much of the ruling reads like a Planned Parenthood news release, with the decision repeating the false claim that only 4% of what the abortion vendor does is abortion. (The corporation used to claim it was 3%).

However, the ruling does not completely stop the defunding of Planned Parenthood.  It only applies to Planned Parenthood affiliates who will not be killing babies as of Oct. 1, 2025 and to those who received less than $800,000 in Medicaid payments in fiscal year 2023 (which is part of the law).

In a closely watched case, the U.S. Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals upheld West Virginia’s ban on the abortion drug mifepristone, marking a major legal win for the state’s pro-life stance and reinforcing state authority in the post-Dobbs era.

The July 15 ruling came in response to a challenge by GenBioPro, a Nevada-based manufacturer of mifepristone, which argued that the FDA’s approval of the drug should override the state ban. The court rejected that claim in a 2-1 decision, affirming West Virginia’s authority to regulate abortion within its borders.

“As Dobbs makes clear, that judgment belongs with the people and their elected representatives,” Circuit Judge J. Harvie Wilkinson wrote in the decision. “At a time when the rule of law is under blunt assault, disregarding the Supreme Court is not an option.”

West Virginia Gov. Patrick Morrisey, who defended the law while serving as attorney general, celebrated the ruling on X.

According to Reuters, the decision marks the first time a federal appeals court has ruled that states may restrict access to the drug.

The ruling could have broader implications for state-level regulation of abortion drugs. According to the Guttmacher Institute, 28 states currently have some form of restriction on their use.

Mifepristone, now used in more than half of abortions nationwide, has faced renewed scrutiny after several of its longstanding safety restrictions were loosened under the Biden administration.

Earlier this month, CatholicVote and more than 100 other pro-life organizations sent a joint letter to FDA Commissioner Dr. Marty Makary and Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., urging them to restore the previous safety requirements on mifepristone.

Asteroid 2022 YS5 is a building-sized asteroid that is scheduled to make a close approach to Earth on July 17, capturing the attention of astronomers, scientists, and space agencies worldwide. Although the asteroid is expected to fly past Earth at a safe distance, the event underscores the increasing importance of planetary defense systems, ongoing asteroid monitoring, and global cooperation in space. Both NASA and the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) have confirmed that 2022 YS5 poses no threat, but are treating this event as a timely reminder of the need for continued vigilance and preparedness.

The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) has officially confirmed that asteroid 2022 YS5, measuring approximately 120 feet (36.5 meters) in diameter, will pass Earth at a distance of about 4.15 million kilometers (roughly 2.58 million miles). While that may sound like a vast distance, it is considered relatively close in astronomical terms, especially given the asteroid’s speed of over 14,000 miles per hour (22,500 km/h).2022 YS5 belongs to the Aten group of near-Earth asteroids, known for having orbits that can cross Earth’s path. However, NASA has made it clear that this particular asteroid does not qualify as potentially hazardous, as it does not meet the two key risk criteria:

  • Proximity: Within 7.4 million kilometers (4.6 million miles) of Earth
  • Size: Greater than 85 meters in diameter

Since 2022 YS5 falls short on both counts, its flyby is being monitored but not considered dangerous.
