Five Years Of Lockdown Trauma Reinforces Skepticism Of ‘The Scientific Consensus’

The scientific community, when it takes up the next cause, should recognize that it is no small thing to infringe on personal autonomy.

1 baby born, 15 killed: Why IVF is the Big Pharma way to solve the fertility crisis



President Trump has just signed an executive order to look into ways to expand access to in vitro fertilization — which has become a controversial issue among conservatives, since many pro-lifers view it as just as bad as abortion.

The process takes the egg of the mother, combines it with the sperm of the father, and puts it in a petri dish to create an embryo.

“IVF recreates the moment of conception but in a lab,” Glenn Beck of “The Glenn Beck Program” says. “It’s a controversial process because at least those of us on the right, we celebrate the creation of life.”

“It’s a miracle that a couple that can’t have a child, or is struggling to conceive, can. But on the other hand, a lot of the embryos created in the lab are discarded, and if you believe that life begins at conception, that means you’re throwing away, or worse, experimenting on new life,” he adds.


Reportedly, over 90% of the children created through IVF die. They’re either left frozen and abandoned, destroyed due to eugenics, experimented on, or miscarried. Only 7% are born.

“This is such a gut-wrenching topic to talk about, because every baby born, regardless of the circumstances of their conception, is beautiful and worthy of dignity,” Liz Wheeler of “The Liz Wheeler Show” tells Glenn.

“So all those beautiful babies that were created by IVF are not less so because that was the circumstances of their conception,” Wheeler says, noting that it also gives hope to those struggling to conceive themselves.

“IVF can fulfill this deep desire in your heart to have a baby. I fully empathize with that. But all that being said, the reality of in vitro fertilization is not what it is portrayed to be. Because for every one of those beautiful babies that’s born, about 15 babies are killed,” she tells Glenn.

“It’s not a pro-life endeavor to support in vitro fertilization as a solution to the infertility crisis that we are suffering in this nation,” she continues, adding that IVF is also “anti-MAHA.”

“One of the exciting things about the Trump administration is that he chose Bobby Kennedy to partner with him, to actually investigate the root causes of the chronic health crisis in our nation,” she explains. “Let’s apply that same philosophy to the fertility crisis, let’s not just put a Band-Aid over this, let’s go to the root cause and say, ‘Hey, why is women’s fertility struggling right now, what could be causing that, because that’s not how its supposed to be.’”

“It’s the same thing as what’s happening to our children. We have Big Pharma and Big Food, and it’s poisoning our bodies, it’s disrupting our endocrine systems, it’s disrupting our hormones,” she continues. “There are identifiable things, measurable things, that are happening to our bodies that we can reverse if we stop letting Big Food and Big Pharma dictate.”

“That’s where it gets back to IVF,” she tells Glenn. “This is a cash cow for Big Pharma. They make a ton of money off of in vitro fertilization.”

Biden awards highest civilian honor to 'merchant of death' who oversaw nearly 4 million abortions



President Joe Biden, whom Cardinal Wilton Gregory of the Archdiocese of Washington deemed a "cafeteria Catholic" on Easter Sunday, has awarded the nation's highest civilian honor to Cecile Richards, a woman who made millions of dollars helping snuff out millions of American lives.

Pro-life critics have suggested a society that valued life would arrest, not award, Richards.

"With absolute courage, she fearlessly leads us forward to be the America we say we are — a nation of freedom," wrote Biden. "Through her work to lift up the dignity of workers, defend and advance women's reproductive rights and equality, and mobilize Americans to exercise their power to vote, she has carved an inspiring legacy."

'We've been very good at getting heart, lung, liver.'

According to the White House, the award is "presented to individuals who have made exemplary contributions to the prosperity, values, or security of the United States, world peace, or other significant societal, public, or private endeavors."

Richards, the daughter of the late Democratic Texas Gov. Ann Richards and a former deputy chief of staff for Nancy Pelosi, served from 2006 to 2018 as president of Planned Parenthood Federation of America — an organization founded by the infamous eugenicist Margaret Sanger, who stressed the need to "apply a stern and rigid policy of sterilization, and segregation to that grade of population whose progeny is already tainted or whose inheritance is such that objectionable traits may be transmitted to offspring."

The abortion tallies in Planned Parenthood's annual reports indicate that under Richards' leadership, the organization slaughtered over 3.87 million babies. In her final year, when the organization killed 332,757 babies, Richards' salary was $1,033,274, having fallen short of seven figures the previous fiscal year by roughly $42,000.

The organization under Richards reportedly created the super PAC Planned Parenthood Votes and expanded its lobbying arm, Planned Parenthood Action Fund, lining the coffers of Democratic lawmakers on the one hand and pushing for increased access and federal funding to abortion services on the other.

Leftists have also credited Richards with seeing the organization through the scandal that arose over pro-life citizen journalist and Center for Medical Progress founder David Daleiden's undercover videos in 2015 showing Planned Parenthood officials callously talking about butchering, playing with, and trafficking baby parts.

The CMP posted a video on July 14, 2015, showing a senior director of medical services at Planned Parenthood, Deborah Nucatola, state matter-of-factly over wine and lunch, "We've been very good at getting heart, lung, liver, because we know that 'I'm not gonna crush that part, I'm gonna basically crush below, I'm gonna crush above, and I'm gonna see if I can get it all intact.'"

"I'd say a lot of people want liver. And for that reason, most providers will do this case under ultrasound guidance, so they'll know where they're putting their forceps," continued Nucatola. "The kind of rate-limiting step of the procedure is calvarium. Calvarium — the head — is basically the biggest part."

Richards stressed in the aftermath of the video's release, "Our donation programs — like any other high-quality health care providers' — follow all laws and ethical guidelines," reported the New York Times.

After 12 years making money off death and sterilizations, Richards co-founded Supermajority, a leftist female-led PAC that quickly netted millions of dollars from George Soros.

Richards was diagnosed in 2023 with glioblastoma, an aggressive form of brain tumor with an average survival time of just over a year.

'Scary place to be.'

"Cecile Richards presided over the abortions of 3.9 million babies as president of Planned Parenthood," tweeted Live Action president Lila Rose. "She belongs in jail. Not in the White House receiving the Presidential Medal of Freedom.

"She is literally a merchant of death," wrote Dan McLaughlin of National Review. "Hard to think of a living person who has killed more Americans."

Conservative commentator Ben Shapiro noted, "Her legacy is millions of dead unborn children."

'This honor marks a dark chapter in the late stages of one of the darkest presidencies in American history.'

Kristan Hawkins, presidents of Students for Life, tweeted that with Richards at the helm, some of Planned Parenthood's victims' bodies were "dissected and sold to the highest bidder. Planned Parenthood representatives haggled over prices for livers and brains. Planned Parenthood’s abortions skyrocketed under Richards even as the organization’s number of total clients plummeted year after year. Cecile Richards is anything but honorable. What a disgrace."

Pro-Life Wisconsin pointed out that "ironically, the babies aborted under Cecile Richards' watch will never have freedom. Their rights were stripped as they were killed in ... what should have been the greatest place of safety — their mother's womb."

Edward Feser, a Catholic professor of philosophy at Pasadena City College, suggested Biden conferring the medal upon Richards showed his true colors: "The 'personally opposed, but …' Catholic Democrat line on abortion was always rank dishonesty, but to commend a ghoul like this is to drop even pretense. Biden's effectively using the last days of whatever cognitive clarity he has left to destroy his conscience. Scary place to be."

Blaze News previously reported that Cardinal Raymond Burke, a canon lawyer and former prefect of the Catholic Church's highest court, said in 2020 that Biden "is not a Catholic in good standing and he should not approach to receive Holy Communion."

"This is not a political statement," continued Burke. "I don't intend to get involved in recommending any candidate for office, but simply to state that a Catholic may not support abortion in any shape or form because it is one of the most grievous sins against human life and has always been considered to be intrinsically evil and therefore to in any way support act is a mortal sin."

Biden reiterated that he is a "practicing Catholic."

"This honor marks a dark chapter in the late stages of one of the darkest presidencies in American history when it comes to protecting mothers and unborn children," Brian Burch, president of CatholicVote, told the Washington Times. "Planned Parenthood has used billions of taxpayer dollars to profit from the tragic extermination of millions of children, while exploiting the health and well-being of countless women."

Yes, Democrats And Their Propaganda Media Support Late-Term Abortion And Infanticide

Infanticide is fast becoming an essential policy position for Democrats.

Planned Parenthood helped transmogrify an autistic teen. The mutilated victim is now seeking amends.



Planned Parenthood was founded by the infamous eugenicist Margaret Sanger, who stressed the need to "apply a stern and rigid policy of sterilization, and segregation to that grade of population whose progeny is already tainted or whose inheritance is such that objectionable traits may be transmitted to offspring."

In Sanger's own words, "morons, mental defectives, epileptics," along with criminals, the poor, the illiterate, and the unemployed, were unfit to breed and should therefore be precluded from doing so.

While the organization eventually became synonymous with the wholesale slaughter of the unborn in America, Planned Parenthood — which receives $670 million annually in government funding — appears nevertheless keen to keep sterilizing vulnerable Americans.

The Free Press indicated on the basis of insurance claim data that the organization has become one of the country's leading providers of sex-change hormones for young adults, the sustained use of which invariably impacts fertility. Such drugs are reportedly available at roughly 450 Planned Parenthood locations and were made available to at least 40,000 patients just in 2023 — roughly 40% of whom were ages 18-22.

In recent years, numerous victims of the sex-change regime have taken legal action against the medical practitioners who left them mutilated and sterile.

Luka Hein filed a lawsuit last year against the University of Nebraska Medical Center and numerous UNMC medical practitioners alleging that their "misleading descriptions and false claims" pertaining to sex-change mutilations were in violation of the state's Consumer Protection Act.

In an apparent first, a detransitioner has taken legal action against Planned Parenthood Federation of America.

According to her medical malpractice suit filed earlier this year, Cristina Hineman "is an example of the growing number of young people who have been victims of so-called 'gender-affirming care,' characterized by the immediate, no-questions-asked 'affirmation' of one's desired gender identity, irrespective of the underlying reasons for such desire and without any mental health assessment."

While struggling earlier in her youth with then-undiagnosed autism, Hineman "never felt any discomfort with her gender or expressed any desire to be a different gender." However, after enrolling in public school and becoming steeped in propaganda about "gender identities," she began to fixate on the notion that perhaps she was "non-binary" or even a man trapped in a woman's body.

"It's a medicalized version of normal teen rebellion," Hineman told the Free Press. "And I got completely sucked into that."

'Pieces of my body are missing.'

During her immersion in gender ideology, Hineman, now 20, also began to suffer from "anxiety and major depressive disorder, social exclusion disorder, self-harm, and passive suicidal ideation," said her complaint.

These mental health issues were compounded by the COVID-19 lockdowns.

The Free Press indicated that facing some pushback and skepticism from her parents, Hineman waited until her 18th birthday in 2021 to make an appointment at the Upper Hudson Planned Parenthood to start the process of medically indulging her mental sickness.

Hineman's lawsuit states that after a single 30-minute visit, she was prescribed testosterone gel — having only days earlier settled on a male identity.

The clinicians at that Planned Parenthood would continue to prescribe her testosterone without question for well over a year, and in fact would increase her dosage at Cristina’s request (rather than their own clinical judgment).

The effects of testosterone on women seeking to pass as men include: emotional instability; impaired fertility; deepened voice; liver damage; cancer; diabetes; cessation of menses; acne; facial hair growth; weight gain; fatigue; cramps; and vertigo.

Planned Parenthood allegedly did not request or require any previous medical or mental health records from Hineman before starting her on a regimen of this life-altering hormone.

Hineman subsequently had her healthy breasts cut off "all the while cheered on by her supposed mental health providers."

Following her double mastectomy, she realized she had made a terrible mistake.

"She experienced profound regret and realized that transitioning was not resolving her mental health issues but was in fact worsening them, that surgery and hormones had not made her a man," said the complaint.

"I wanted a flat chest, but you don't understand that you're not just going to have a man's chest," Hineman told the Independent Women's Forum. "It's going to be numb, so tight all the time, you’re not going to be able to feel. It's going to feel like empty space because it is."

Shortly after her elective surgery, she saw a beautiful woman on television and realized she missed her femininity.

"I had the realization this never should have happened," said Hineman. "Pieces of my body are missing."

Hineman soon stopped taking testosterone and began de-transitioning. It dawned on her as natural hormones began doing their job uninterrupted by Planned Parenthood that she wanted children — children she would now be unable to breastfeed.

At the outset of her de-transition, Hineman indicated she returned to Planned Parenthood for answers.

"I wanted to know what was going to happen to my body, and [the nurse with whom she had the initial consult] had no idea," said Hineman. "She kept saying, 'It's different for everyone. There's no way to know.'"

"That was the moment I just realized, like, 'Wow, this woman doesn't even know what she's talking about.' I don't understand how my consent could have been informed if the person prescribing it to me doesn’t even know what happens if I stop, let alone me knowing," added Hineman.

Hineman is seeking unspecified damages from Planned Parenthood and the other health care providers who had a hand in her transmogrification for negligence and a failure to obtain informed consent.

The Independent Women's Forum indicated that Planned Parenthood did not respond to a request for comment but has denied Hineman's allegations in court documents.

Campbell Miller Payne, the Texas law firm that took up her case, stated:

Like so many other vulnerable and struggling girls and young women, she sought help for her mental health struggles but was instead recklessly sent down a path of medicalization that began with cross-sex hormones and sadly culminated in a double mastectomy of her healthy breasts. We are honored to represent her in holding Planned Parenthood and others accountable for the damage they have done and continue to do.

"I don't want this to happen to other young people like me — young people with mental health problems who struggle to find their identity," said Hineman.

'Tragic injustice': Clinton-appointed judge sentences pro-life rescuer to nearly 5 years in jail over peaceful protest



A Clinton-appointed judge has sentenced pro-life activist Lauren Handy to four years and nine months in prison plus three years' supervision for peacefully speaking out in support of the lives lost and threatened at an infamous late-term abortion clinic in the nation's capital.

U.S. District Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly's heavy-handed sentence in Handy's case, which was just one year shy of what Biden's admittedly pro-abortion Department of Justice advocated for, has been blasted by Republicans and other pro-life activists.

'Meanwhile, abortionists who dismember and kill children walk free. A grave injustice!'

The Thomas More Society, which defended Handy in the case, has indicated it will proceed with an appeal on behalf of Handy, not only to overturn her conviction but to challenge the constitutionality of the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances Act, under which she was convicted in August.

Other pro-life rescuers who took part in the peaceful 2020 protest appear to also be headed to prison, including John Hinshaw, who was sentenced Tuesday to 21 months in prison.

Background

Handy, 30, is the director of activism and mutual aid for Progressive Anti-Abortion Uprising.

According to its website, PAAU is "committed to the progressive feminist values of equality, non-violence, and nondiscrimination through an anti-capitalist lens. ... We're committed to unparalleled bravery and to always challenging the oppressive status quo. We're committed to ending elective abortion to matter how long it takes."

Blaze News previously reported that Handy and four other PAAU activists — John Hinshaw, Heather Idoni, William Goodman, and Herb Geraghty — were convicted of FACE Act violations last year for supposedly blocking access on Oct. 22, 2020, to the Washington Surgi-Clinic, operated by the late-term abortionist Cesare Santangelo.

The FACE Act prohibits anyone from obstructing the entrance to an abortion clinic or intimidating or interfering with a woman attempting to have her unborn baby exterminated.

The Biden DOJ claimed that Handy partook in a "clinic blockade that was directed by Handy and was broadcast on Facebook. The defendants conspired to and did forcefully enter the clinic and block access to the clinic using their bodies, furniture, chains and ropes. Once the blockade was established, footage of the activities was live-streamed."

Legal analysts at the Heritage Foundation noted that "Congress specified that the FACE Act doesn't 'prohibit any expressive conduct (including peaceful picketing or other peaceful demonstration) protected from legal prohibitions by the First Amendment to the Constitution,' including the 'free speech or free exercise clauses,' occurring 'outside a facility.'"

Handy's defense also characterized the incident as a "rescue and protest," noting that she was under the distinct impression, in part due to an undercover video published by Live Action, that Santangelo was not just executing live-birth abortions but leaving born-alive infants to die.

Kollar-Kotelly ultimately barred the defendants from claiming their protest was protected by the First Amendment as well as from claiming they had protested in defense of a third person, stating "a defendant may not don a vigilante's hood." The Clinton judge, who made sure to chastise a nun in the public gallery for daring to make the sign of the cross, also prevented the defense from showing the undercover 2012 footage that prompted Handy to want to intervene for fear of prejudicing the jury.

Handy, convicted of a FACE Act violation as well as of conspiracy against rights, sat in prison for nine months until her sentencing.

Sentencing

The Biden DOJ asked Kollar-Kotelly to give Handy 6.5 years, claiming she was among the "masterminds who chose the clinic, advertised the event, recruited participants, and planned the crime," reported the Washington Examiner.

Handy's defense alternatively asked for a one-year sentence, emphasizing the peaceful nature of the event that entailed an "attempt to rescue preborn children from imminent death at the hands of an abortionist who Ms. Handy believed performed illegal late-term procedures."

The Clinton judge reportedly expressed concern that Handy's protest hindered multiple prospective patients from speedily entering the clinic, including a woman experiencing labor pains.

"Your views took precedence over, frankly, their human needs," said Kollar-Kotelly, apparently discounting the human needs ignored deeper within the clinic.

Prosecutors apparently also won the judge over with the claim that the protest was not peaceful, as a clinic nurse allegedly sprained her ankle when one of Handy's co-defendants entered the clinic, reported the New York Post.

Kollar-Kelly claimed Handy was not being punished for her pro-life beliefs but rather her actions, stating, "The law does not protect violent nor obstructive conduct, nor should it."

Response

The outcome incensed Republicans, women's organizations, and pro-life activists, who ostensibly agreed that the FACE Act has outstayed its welcome, especially after having been weaponized against pro-life activists by the Biden DOJ.

Live Action president Lila Rose noted Handy "has just been sentenced to 57 months in federal prison for handing roses and resources to women at an abortion facility[.] Meanwhile, abortionists who dismember and kill children walk free. A grave injustice!"

Rep. Chip Roy (R-Texas) said in a statement obtained by Blaze News, "Today's outrageous 57-month sentence for a progressive pro-life activist is a stark reminder: Biden's DOJ is fully weaponized against pro-life American citizens, and they are using the FACE Act to do it."

Roy stressed that "House Republicans should defund the DOJ weaponization, repeal the FACE Act, and stand up for the freedoms that we campaign on."

'Ms. Handy deserves thanks, not a gut-wrenching prison sentence.'

"This sentencing of @PAAUNOW's Lauren Hardy is a tragic injustice," said Penny Nance, CEO of the Concerned Women for America. "In policy and practice, the FACE Act is an unjust law that must be repealed. It is an unconstitutional breach of the states' police power, and the Biden Administration has used it to attack political opponents most blatantly."

\u201cThis sentencing of @PAAUNOW's Lauren Hardy is a tragic injustice,\u201d said Penny Nance, CEO of CWA. \u201cIn policy and practice, the FACE Act is an unjust law that must be repealed. It is an unconstitutional breach of the states\u2019 police power, and the Biden Administration has used it\u2026
— (@)

Martin Cannon, senior counsel at the Thomas More Society, said in a statement, "There was only one thing around which Ms. Handy and her co-defendants were unified, and that was nonviolence. They conspired to be peaceful."

"For her efforts to peacefully protect the lives of innocent preborn human beings, Ms. Handy deserves thanks, not a gut-wrenching prison sentence," continued Cannon. "We will vigorously pursue an appeal of Ms. Handy's conviction and attack the root cause of this injustice, that is, the FACE Act — which we believe is unconstitutional and should never again be used to persecute peaceful pro-lifers."

Steve Crampton, senior counsel at the Thomas More Society, added, "The remains of several later-term aborted babies discovered by Ms. Handy and her associates, known as the 'D.C. Five,' have underscored the truth of Ms. Handy's concerns that abortionist Cesare Santangelo has more likely than not been violating the Born Alive Infants Protection Act by reportedly refusing to provide life-saving care to infants born alive as a result of an attempted abortion."
