HEADLINES Planned Parenthood moved to bar words 'child' and 'baby' from courtroom LifeSiteNews Planned Parenthood in Kansas moved to silence certain details of their abortion business while facing accusations of aborting babies beyond the gestational age legal in the state, according to documents unsealed last week. Judge Stephen Tatum unsealed the documents in a criminal case brought by Kansas state prosecutors against the abortion group involving 58 counts related to illegal late-term abortions. Planned Parenthood, who originally faced charges alongside Kansas late-term abortionist George Tiller, is seeking dismissal of all charges. According to records obtained by Operation Rescue, Planned Parenthood had moved to censor or cast doubt upon state prosecutors' case under a long list of rationales.   Texas fully funds women's health program without Planned Parenthood Life News Abortion advocates complained the state of Texas would leave women high and dry without access to a women's health program now that the state has decided to revoke taxpayer funding for the Planned Parenthood abortion business. Despite prohibiting it from participating in the legitimate medical program, Texas officials have found a way to fully fund the program to provide women with non-abortion reproductive health care at hundreds of other locations across the state. Billy Milwee, the state's Medicaid director, discussed the funding in a recent town hall, according to KERA-News.    Thirty-One Gifts, marketed with scripture, helps fund Planned Parenthood Bound 4 Life It seems like every time I turn around my Christian friends are having "Thirty-One parties." I'm not much for girl parties, but I have to admit, this stuff looked cute even to me, at least until I found out this Christian organization was helping to fund Planned Parenthood. Thirty-One Gifts is a company based on principles from Proverbs 31 and is much lauded by ladies across the nation as being a "Christian" organization because of this. Many of its consultants are Christian women, even ministry leaders. On the outside it looks like a worthy place to build a business with biblical values; however, its funding arm, Thirty-One Gives, is giving money to abortion providers.
