Nearly one year later, Google is still directing those looking for information on “pregnancy” toward the largest abortion mill in the country: Planned Parenthood. MRC Free Speech America researchers analyzed Google, Bing and DuckDuckGo search results for the word “pregnancy” in a “clean environment” one week before the 51st annual national March for Life in Washington, D.C. Bing and DuckDuckGo elevated neutral results with links to popular health websites like Mayo Clinic and Healtline.com, as one might expect. But Google’s first result was a link to Planned Parenthood’s landing page on pregnancy. Planned Parenthood did not show up at all...

An Ohio woman pled guilty to a misdemeanor charge for defacing a pro-life reproductive health clinic earlier this year, with the potential of facing jail time for the act. "Defacing facilities that provide reproductive health services will not be tolerated in our society," Assistant Attorney General Kristen Clarke of the Justice Department’s Civil Rights Division said of the plea. "The Justice Department is committed to enforcing the FACE Act to protect all patients who seek reproductive health services and all persons and facilities that provide such services." Whitney M. Durant, also known as Soren Monroe, admitted to painting the words...

LYNCHBURG, Va. (WSET) — Lynchburg City Council voted to not go forward with a resolution condemning the recent vandalism at the Blue Ridge Pregnancy Center. The center was vandalized last month, following the Supreme Court's Decision Overturning Roe v. Wade. The resolution was proposed by Councilman Chris Faraldi. The motion to approve the resolution failed 2-5. Faraldi said he is disheartened by the vote, and that he saw this as an opportunity for the council to call out evil for what it is.

It’s a typical day at the pregnancy center. The first shift has already arrived. The doors are unlocked and the rooms have been prepped when a young woman enters the center. Fear covers her like a thick fog. She works her way to the reception desk, barely able to make eye contact. The sweet volunteer working behind the desk on this particular morning has a warmth that fills the room. She tenderly welcomes the young woman and asks how Prestonwood Pregnancy Center can help her this morning. And so, the young woman’s appointment begins. Volunteers and staff will boldly walk...

NEWPORT, Tenn. — Wendy Ramsey began her day as she often does, in the cool basement of Lincoln Avenue Baptist Church. It was a Thursday, and her first client was coming at noon. She flipped on the fluorescent lights. Racks of infant, toddler and maternity clothes neatly lined the waiting area. Formula and baby food were on the shelf, free for anyone who came. A flier for a local domestic violence shelter was taped to the cinder-block wall, one of its tabs ripped off. A whiteboard in her office listed her prayer requests: for her clients, for their salvation and...

WASHINGTON - The U.S. Supreme Court on Monday agreed to decide whether a California law requiring private facilities that counsel pregnant women against abortion to post signs telling clients how to get state-funded abortions and contraceptives violates free speech rights. The justices will hear an appeal brought by Christian-based non-profit facilities sometimes called “crisis pregnancy centers” of a lower court ruling that upheld the Democratic-backed 2015 California law. The challengers argue that the law, by forcing them to post the information, violates the U.S. Constitution’s First Amendment guarantee of free speech. The California challengers included the National Institute of Family...

Where would you send your pregnant little sister? I remember the first time I drove past an abortion clinic. Brown, dirt-covered walls, cracks in the pavement, weeds growing up the side of the building — it was not a pretty sight. I could not help but wonder what the inside looked liked, and I questioned how anyone would trust the occupants of such an unkempt building to perform a surgical procedure on them. Staff and patients alike exited from their cars—heads down—rushing to the door. This particular clinic had its door locked at all times, so all who entered had...

Suddenly there’s no room at the inn when Planned Parenthood is next door. A pro-life pregnancy center in Vacaville, CA is the focus of a lawsuit filed by the Pacific Justice Institute. Alpha Pregnancy Centers had its lease revoked days before it was to move into a new facility, near Planned Parenthood. The suit asserts that may be exactly why Alpha was ejected. Alpha sought a new facility for its growing center, moving from behind a grocery story into a medical arts building. It found a space, signed a lease, paid its rent–and had the rent check returned, un-cashed, saying...

In a dispute that could have greater legal implications, a local pro-life organization filed suit Wednesday against a landlord, whose Vacaville office building houses Planned Parenthood, alleging religious discrimination after the owner first agreed to lease space to the group and then reneged, saying only that their pro-life clinic was “not a good fit.” Pacific Justice Institute, a nonprofit legal defense organization, filed the complaint on behalf of Alpha Pregnancy Clinics of Northern California in Solano County Superior Court, alleging breach of contract and violation of the organization’s civil rights. Alpha, a licensed medical clinic in the state of California,...

"Google’s leadership in removing the majority of these ads is a victory for truth in advertising." Responding to outside pressure from "pro-choice" group NARAL, the search engine Google has decided to ban pregnancy centers offering alternatives to abortion from bidding on the keyword “abortion clinics” reports LifeSiteNews.

Representative Carolyn Maloney (D., N.Y.) has once again introduced in the House her Stop Deceptive Advertising for Women’s Services Act. Maloney is not so committed to truth in advertising as to want to spell out in the bill’s title what kind of services she fears women are being deceived about, but the text of the bill is clearer: It seeks to prohibit deceptive advertising for “abortion services.” The bill targets crisis-pregnancy centers, which pro-choice advocates have long characterized as places that lure pregnant women with misleading claims of assistance and then trick or shame them, through propaganda and proselytizing, into...
