| Planned Parenthood's war on the family By Rita Diller Behind Planned Parenthood's favorite slogan, "Every child a wanted child," is a sinister agenda that strikes with deadly force at the child-the very heart of the family.

 Planned Parenthood petitions Fifth Circuit to rehear en banc decision restricting Texas women's access to health care
ENews Park Forest
This week, Planned Parenthood affiliates in Texas filed a petition to ask the entire Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals to rehear the State of Texas's appeal of a preliminary injunction that blocked a rule barring Planned Parenthood from participating in the Women's Health Program.

In the petition filed today, Planned Parenthood argues the three-judge panel made exceptional mistakes, in violation of Supreme Court precedent, that warrant closer review by the full court. |
