Trump Admin Announces Planned Parenthood Grants Will End This Year
LifeNews.com | Steven Ertelt | Mar. 31, 2026 | Washington, DC
The Trump administration has announced that this is the last year the Planned Parenthood abortion business will receive Title X grants. A Trump official confirmed today that it is legally required to issue the fifth and final year of Biden-era Title X family planning grants to America’s biggest abortion business Planned Parenthood, but has pledged to realign the program with a pro-life agenda afterward.
That decision next year will be ending taxpayer support for the abortion giant through this particiular funding stream.
White House spokesman Kush Desai said the administration was forced to extend the grants due to legal challenges.

HHS INVESTIGATES 13 STATES ALLEGEDLY COERCING HEALTH CARE INSURANCE GROUPS TO PAY FOR ABORTIONS
By McKenna Snow for Zeale
published online 3-20-26
Thirteen states are under investigation following allegations that they are forcing healthcare entities to pay for abortions despite conscience objections, potentially in violation of a federal healthcare conscience law, according to a March 19 press release from the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS).
The HHS’ Office for Civil Rights is investigating the states for policies potentially in violation of the Weldon Amendment, which prohibits federal, state, or local government discrimination against healthcare entities that refuse to pay for or cover abortions, according to the release.

Unborn Babies Were the Biggest Losers
in President Trump’s SOTU Speech
LifeNews.com | Suzanne Bowdey | 2-26-26 | Washington, DC
As far as theatrics go, Donald Trump’s sixth State of the Union had everything a showman could want — the golden boys of Team USA, the heart-wrenching moments of grieving parents and miraculous recoveries, the drama of Democratic protests, and the president’s answering antagonism. But for all that’s been written about the record-setting night, the biggest takeaway may not have been what was said, but what wasn’t. In a speech of 10,599 words, not one was about life.
For conservatives, the lack of even a single mention of the unborn in an almost a two-hour running commentary of the last year was disappointing for a host of reasons. CLICK HERE to read the full story.
JUST WHEN YOU THINK
IT CAN'T GET WORSE, IT DOES
Canada Wants to Euthanize Children Without Parental Consent
LifeNews.com | Dave Andrusko | Feb. 25, 2026 | Ottawa, Canada
“Abortion is Healthcare”? Only to the abortion absolutists who, alas, are plentiful, and to the desperate woman or girl who is persuaded that abortion—“ending the pregnancy”—will “cure the problem.” Also, she will be told (of course) that the “procedure” will be painless and (naturally) there will no lingering aftershocks, such as nightmares, nor triggering events such as seeing a mother and her child at the park.
If possible, and I don’t suppose it is, the deception, dishonesty, and duplicity surrounding “assisted suicide” is even more clever, more accomplished at duping the public.
We’ve got our own massive problems fending off the race to death here in the US— 13 U.S. states plus Washington, D.C. have legalized assisted suicide. But when it comes to euphemisms, our neighbors to the North have turned treachery into an art form.
If you’ve read NRL News Today, you know that I rely heavily on Alex Schadenberg and Kelsi Sheren. In particular, Sheren who brings a powerfully indignant sense of outrage.
Even the name the pro-death forces in Canada used from early on— MAiD (Medical Assistance in Dying) —in (sic) awash in deception. From its “modest” beginning, we were lead to believe that every expansion of MAiD was the furthest thing from supporters’ mind.
They protested that widening and deepening the pool of victims was never in the cards and could never come to pass.
Guess what? It was a lie from the beginning.
And now, the circle is complete. They’ve come for the children!
PLEASE CLICK HERE to read the rest of this article. Then pray fervently and work diligently in any way you can to assure that additional States in the United States will never approve this type of physician-assisted-suicide.
Canada Horror:
Woman Euthanized Without Her Consent
LifeNews.com | Billy Hallowell | Feb. 9, 2026 |Ottawa, Canada
With its prevalence and acceptance growing, doctor-assisted suicide has become a flashpoint of controversy. Both sides of the divide continue to dig in their heels, spouting definitive and thought-provoking claims about the issue’s moral, cultural, and spiritual implications. As time progresses, though, it seems the ethical pitfalls and downsides are becoming painfully clearer. For eons, opponents of euthanasia have astutely warned that efforts to allow terminally ill patients to procure life-ending drugs from doctors will be a slippery slope — a moral entrapment that leads to all sorts of abuses and bizarre scenarios.

VA Stops Killing Babies in Abortions
After Trump Issues New Policy
LifeNews.com | Steven Ertelt | Jan. 29, 2026 | Washington, DC
The Department of Veterans Affairs has halted the killing of unborn babies in abortions at its facilities nationwide, complying with a Justice Department opinion that restores longstanding federal prohibitions on taxpayer-funded abortions for veterans. The reversal, effective immediately, overturns a 2022 Biden administration policy that had expanded abortion access within the VA system, allowing VA doctors to perform abortions even in violation of federal law and state protections for the unborn.
