The U.S. Supreme Court on Thursday allowed mail orders of the abortion drug mifepristone to continue, handing a major defeat for the pro-life movement while litigation over the pill continues.   
<a href="https://www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/25pdf/25a1207_21p3.pdf">In an emergency order</a>, the court temporarily blocked a federal appeals court ruling that struck down a Biden-era policy that allowed the abortion drug mifepristone to be prescribed online and shipped by mail. 
The unsigned order provided no legal explanation. Justices Samuel Alito and Clarence Thomas dissented. 
&#8220;The Court’s unreasoned order granting stays in this case is remarkable,&#8221; Justice Alito wrote. &#8220;What is at stake is the perpetration of a scheme to undermine our decision in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization, which restored the right of each State to decide how to regulate abortions within its borders.&#8221;
Justice Thomas went further, describing the mail distribution system for mifepristone as a &#8220;criminal enterprise.&#8221;
&#8220;Applicants are not entitled to a stay of an adverse court order based on lost profits from their criminal enterprise,&#8221; he concluded. &#8220;They cannot, in any legally relevant sense, be irreparably harmed by a court order that makes it more difficult for them to commit crimes.&#8221;
After the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade, the Biden administration expanded nationwide access to chemical abortion. Under rules finalized in 2023, women could obtain mifepristone through telehealth appointments without an in-person doctor visit. 
The majority of abortions in the U.S. are obtained through medications, usually a combination of mifepristone and a second drug, misoprostol, <a href="https://apnews.com/article/abortion-pills-mifepristone-supreme-court-louisiana-0533e83d67148fdfec53b1d0d30c1e8a">according to the Associated Press</a>. 
Louisiana challenged the Biden-era policy under the Administrative Procedure Act, arguing the FDA relied on flawed or nonexistent data while eliminating safety protocols. 
<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/court-issues-major-ruling-on-biden-abortion-pill-policy">The Daily Wire previously reported</a> that the FDA acknowledged it had not adequately studied the safety of remote dispensing and is still conducting a review, with no clear timeline for completion.
The three-judge 5th Circuit panel held that the regulation, which has continued under the Trump administration, was likely unlawful. 
“Every abortion facilitated by FDA’s action cancels Louisiana’s ban,” the federal appeals court wrote, emphasizing that such harm cannot be undone.
Manufacturers of the abortion drug quickly filed emergency appeals asking the Supreme Court to intervene.
Acting alone, Justice Samuel Alito <a href="https://www.scotusblog.com/cases/genbiopro-v-louisiana/">entered and then extended an administrative stay</a> of the Fifth Circuit ruling, which is a short-term, procedural order that freezes legal proceedings so the full court has time to weigh the issue.
On Thursday, a majority of the justices appeared to agree with the abortion manufacturers, overturning the block in a significant setback for pro-life advocates as litigation drags on.
&#8220;This decision keeps deadly abortion drugs available by mail and telehealth, where preborn children are killed at home and women can be abandoned, coerced, and left to suffer alone,&#8221; Lila Rose, a prominent pro-life activist, said on social media. &#8220;The FDA must act now.&#8221;

WASHINGTON—The White House today launched a website that helps expectant mothers locate pregnancy centers and learn about health and wellness, a Mother&#8217;s Day gift to both the pro-life and Make America Healthy Again movements, The Daily Wire can first report.
Moms.gov addresses &#8220;the needs of mothers and fathers who face difficult or unexpected pregnancies and [ensures] the wellbeing of mothers and the health of American families,&#8221; the White House said in a statement. The move is a direct rebuke to the Biden administration, which in 2022 launched ReproductiveRights.gov, a controversial site that directed expectant mothers to Planned Parenthood and abortion clinics.
When President Donald Trump returned to the White House, pro-life advocates urged the administration to promote abortion alternatives.
The new website does that and more. An expectant mother who accesses the site can search for pregnancy care centers or federally qualified health centers near her and quickly locate the nearest center. The Daily Wire used the tool and found up to 50 options offered within a 50-mile radius, many of them pregnancy care centers that offer ultrasounds and other services.
Pro-abortion advocates have vilified pregnancy centers for decades, <a href="https://dailycaller.com/2019/07/17/crisis-pregnancy-center-planned-parenthood/">arguing that</a> their &#8220;only purpose is to misinform, shame, and deter anyone seeking safe, legal abortion care.” But pregnancy care centers offer clothing, diapers, car seats, and many other resources to expectant mothers and fathers. Many pregnancy centers offer advice or literature on how to get a job, how to behave in a professional manner or capacity, how to care for children, or how to leave an abusive relationship. And these centers frequently offer ultrasounds, which are <a href="https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/24463667/">proven</a> to help mothers choose not to abort their unborn children.
In the months before and after the Supreme Court&#8217;s 2022 decision to overturn Roe v. Wade, pro-abortion vandals attacked almost 100 pregnancy centers around the United States with firebombings, vandalism, arson, smashed windows, graffiti, and more. The violence against pregnancy centers was so extreme that the Department of Homeland Security <a href="https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/22068133-dhs-memo/">issued a memo</a> the day the Supreme Court overturned Roe, warning that more violence should be expected.
Moms.gov also includes information on the new dietary guidelines issued by the Department of Health and Human Services, as well as nutrition information for expectant mothers, information on Trump Accounts, Trump RX offerings for those trying or hoping to conceive, and links to pregnancy recommendations from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
As the American birthrate <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/america-is-on-track-to-literally-die-off-new-fertility-data-warns">plummets</a> to record lows, the Trump administration has prioritized supporting mothers as part of its effort to encourage Americans to have more children.
The White House has partnered with donors to <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/trump-accounts-get-overwhelming-response-in-tax-day-filings">seed Trump Accounts</a> with $1,000 for every new enrollee — a promise that led 5 million children to be enrolled as of Tax Day, according to Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent. First Lady Melania Trump last month <a href="https://www.opm.gov/news/news-releases/opm-partners-with-first-lady-and-hhs/">partnered</a> with the Office of Personnel Management and Department of Health and Human Services to expand flexibility and leave for foster and adoptive parents in the federal workforce.
This is a strong contrast to the Biden administration, whose embrace of abortion was recently revealed to be more extreme than previously thought. A Justice Department report released last month detailed how Biden officials relied on information gathered from radical pro-abortion groups to <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/how-biden-partnered-with-abortion-activists-to-track-and-imprison-pro-lifers?author=Leif+Le+Mahieu&amp;category=News&amp;elementPosition=undefined&amp;row=0&amp;rowType=Vertical+List&amp;title=BREAKING%3A+How+Biden+Partnered+With+Abortion+Activists+To+Track+And+Imprison+Pro-Lifers">track and prosecute</a> peaceful pro-life protesters.

A judge in the United Kingdom convicted a Christian pastor on Thursday for preaching on one of the Bible’s most well-known verses outside of a hospital that performs abortions. 
Pastor Clive Johnston was fined over $600 by Judge Peter King for preaching on John 3:16 inside a so-called “Safe Access Zone” outside the Causeway Hospital in Coleraine, Northern Ireland. Northern Ireland&#8217;s “Abortion Services (Safe Access Zones) Act” sets up buffer zones outside facilities where abortions are done, restricting protests, sidewalk counseling, or other pro-life activities. 
Johnston was prosecuted after leading an open-air Sunday service outside the Causeway Hospital on July 7, 2024, that did not mention abortion. Prosecutors accused him of attempting to influence a “protected person” or “recklessly” behaving in a way that could influence a person. 
“This is a dark day for Christian freedom,” he said after the conviction. “And yet the buffer zones law is so broad that holding a Sunday service has been found to be a criminal offence. And at 78 years of age I find myself, for the first time, convicted of a crime.”
“I know it was an unusual place to hold an open-air service but that was the point: There shouldn’t be any public spaces in Northern Ireland where you can be prosecuted and convicted simply for preaching the gospel,” he added. 
Video from the day of the open-air service shows a police officer warning Johnston that he may only share the gospel in a &#8216;safe&#8217; chaplaincy room inside the hospital.
“However, if you are reckless as to the effect that they could have on patients, staff, or any protected person, then you may be committing an offense,” the officer said. 
“But while you&#8217;re out here in the safe access zone, any act in that area, which may” dissuade a “protected person” from using a “service” could be an offense, the officer said.

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
Johnston was supported in his legal defense by The Christian Institute, a United Kingdom-based organization devoted to “upholding the truths of the Bible.” The organization’s director, Ciarán Kelly, said they would help Johnston look at appealing the ruling. 
“Despite assurances to the contrary when this legislation was being considered, we now see that an already controversial and deeply unjust law has now been selectively applied to criminalise gospel preaching,” Kelly said. “If the ruling stands it will represent a shocking new restriction on freedom of religion and freedom of speech so we will be helping Clive to consider the options for appeal.”
Last month, a State Department spokesman <a href="https://www.telegraph.co.uk/us/news/2026/04/16/us-prosecution-british-pastor-abortion-clinic/">said</a> that the United States was monitoring the case with concern. 
“The UK’s persecution of silent prayer represents not only an egregious violation of the fundamental right to free speech and religious liberty, but also a concerning departure from the shared values that ought to underpin US-UK relations,” a spokesman told The Telegraph.

A Christian pregnancy center won a huge legal victory on Wednesday after the Supreme Court unanimously ruled that it could fight back against New Jersey’s attempts to crack down on its life-affirming work. 
The Supreme Court ruled 9-0 that First Choice Women’s Resource Centers can challenge in federal court former New Jersey Democrat Attorney General Matthew Platkin’s attempt to gain access to its donor lists and promotion of the abortion pill reversal through subpoena. The opinion was written by Justice Neil Gorsuch, who said that the pregnancy center had provided ample evidence that its First Amendment associational rights were at risk. 
“The question before us isn’t how badly the Attorney General has burdened First Choice’s associational rights; the question is whether he has burdened those rights at all,” Gorsuch <a href="https://www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/25pdf/24-781_pok0.pdf">wrote</a>. “And by effectively restricting how First Choice may interact privately with its donors, the subpoena did just that.”
First Choice Executive Director Aimee Huber celebrated the ruling. 
“For more than two years, Attorney General Platkin targeted First Choice with aggressive demands for sensitive documents, including our donors’ identities. He has gone to great lengths to frustrate the important work we do — work that has made a tangible, life-saving difference for tens of thousands of New Jersey women and their children,” she said. “As the Supreme Court recognized, the government can’t evade federal court review when it harasses those who support pro-life ministries just because it disagrees with their message and their mission.”
First Choice has centers in five New Jersey cities: New Brunswick, Newark, Morristown, Montclair, and Jersey City. Services include free pregnancy tests, ultrasounds, and options counseling. They also offer a parenting program that provides essential needs such as baby clothes and diapers. 
Represented by the Alliance Defending Freedom, First Choice sued Platkin after he subpoenaed them in November 2023 for 10 years of documents related to its promotion of the abortion pill reversal, information provided to clients and donors, personnel records, and copies of every advertisement the centers had run. 
The case was <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/new-jerseys-war-on-crisis-pregnancy-centers-heads-to-the-supreme-court">argued</a> before the Supreme Court in December. 
“In this resounding victory, the Supreme Court held to its long-standing precedent of recognizing that the Constitution protects First Choice and its donors from demands by a hostile state official to disclose donor identities and contact information,” said Alliance Defending Freedom counsel Erin Hawley. “Should the Attorney General continue these efforts on remand, we look forward to presenting First Choice’s case in federal court.”
In the opinion, Gorsuch noted that the court has long sided against officials infringing on First Amendment rights. 
“Since the 1950s, this Court has confronted one official demand after another like the Attorney General’s. Over and again, we have held those demands burden the exercise of First Amendment rights,” he said. “Disputing none of these precedents but seeking ways around them, the Attorney General has offered a variety of arguments. Some are old, some are new, but none succeeds.”

Texas Republican Rep. Brandon Gill exposed the brutal nature of abortion during an exchange with a pro-abortion advocate who repeatedly refused to answer when asked about her preferred method of abortion. 
The back-and-forth took place Tuesday during a House Judiciary hearing when Gill questioned American University scholar and abortion advocate Jessica Waters about her “favorite type of abortion.” As she avoided his questions, Gill ran through a list of the gruesome methods used to end the life of an unborn child in the United States
“You&#8217;re an advocate for abortion, for abortion policy. What&#8217;s your favorite type of abortion?” Gill began. 
“I am an advocate for patients having access to the full realm of reproductive healthcare,” Waters replied. 
Gill then said he was going to run through a list of abortion methods and get her thoughts on them. 
“The first type is called a suction abortion. This is when the cervix is dilated in a strong suction, 29 times the power of a household vacuum cleaner, tears the baby&#8217;s body apart and sucks it through the hose into a container,” Gill said. &#8221;Do you prefer that method?”
“I stand by my former testimony,” Waters replied. 
“That sounds kind of gross, doesn&#8217;t it? Sounds pretty gruesome,” Gill said. “Do you agree? It does to me.”<iframe style="aspect-ratio: 9/16; max-width: 220px; display: flex; justify-content: center; width: 100%; margin: 20px auto 5px; border: 0;" src="https://player.mux.com/00EdVhUsbLyB00mM24eA5VXMOOoAgXxtub?metadata-video-content-type=short&amp;metadata-video-id=2837c468-2932-4933-aa97-a66b0aedc1ed&amp;metadata-video-stream-type=on-demand&amp;metadata-video-title=Rising%20GOP%20star%20presses%20abortion%20advocate%20to%20name%20%E2%80%98favorite%E2%80%99%20method%20of%20murdering%20babies&amp;autoplay=false&amp;accent-color=%23DB3D3B&amp;primary-color=%23ffffff&amp;secondary-color=%23000000" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe>
Gill then walked through a dilation and curettage abortion. 
“After dilation of the cervix, a sharp looped knife is inserted into the uterus. The baby&#8217;s body is cut into pieces and extracted, often by suction,” Gill said. “You don&#8217;t want to talk about abortion itself. Why is that?” 
“I would prefer to talk about the reason that the committee called the hearings,” Waters said. 
“How about this one? It&#8217;s called dilation and evacuation. Forceps are inserted into the uterus, grabbing and twisting the baby&#8217;s body to dismember him or her. If the head is too large, it must be crushed in order to remove it,” Gill said. 
“I would prefer to talk about the reason the hearing was called and the basis of my expert testimony,” Waters said. 
Gill then walked through the saline injection abortion. 
“It&#8217;s when a 20% salt solution is injected through the mother&#8217;s abdomen into the baby&#8217;s amniotic fluid. The baby&#8217;s skin is burned off.  The baby ingests the solution and dies of salt poisoning, dehydration, and hemorrhaging of the brain,” Gill said. 
“I would prefer to talk about the subject of the hearing,” Waters replied. 
“I wouldn&#8217;t want to talk about this either, if I were you, because it is barbaric and evil,” Gill said. 
The exchange took place as the House Judiciary Subcommittee on the Constitution and Limited Government held a hearing on the weaponization of the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances (FACE) Act by the Biden administration. Bombshell <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/how-biden-partnered-with-abortion-activists-to-track-and-imprison-pro-lifers?author=Leif+Le+Mahieu&amp;category=News&amp;elementPosition=undefined&amp;row=0&amp;rowType=Vertical+List&amp;title=BREAKING%3A+How+Biden+Partnered+With+Abortion+Activists+To+Track+And+Imprison+Pro-Lifers">emails released</a> earlier this month showed the close relationship the Biden administration had with pro-abortion activists in targeting pro-life advocates over peaceful protests.

After finding out that the Justice Department official who spearheaded prosecutions against pro-life activists had been fired, one of the defendants imprisoned by the Biden administration over a peaceful protest celebrated and said he would like to attend some “firing parties.”
Calvin Zastrow, 65, who spent 100 days in federal prison for his role in a non-violent protest at an abortion facility in Tennessee, told The Daily Wire he was pleased to hear some of those involved in Biden’s crackdown on pro-lifers had been held accountable. Zastrow’s comments came after the Justice Department <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/how-biden-partnered-with-abortion-activists-to-track-and-imprison-pro-lifers?author=Leif+Le+Mahieu&amp;category=News&amp;elementPosition=11&amp;row=0&amp;rowType=Vertical+List&amp;title=BREAKING%3A+How+Biden+Partnered+With+Abortion+Activists+To+Track+And+Imprison+Pro-Lifers" target="_blank" rel="noopener">released</a> a bombshell report detailing how Biden officials worked closely with pro-abortion groups to monitor, track, and prosecute pro-life activists.
Before the report was released, it was announced that Sanjay Patel, the official who led the prosecutions against the pro-lifers, had been fired.
“I want to come to some firing parties, I think that&#8217;s fun to watch. That&#8217;d be a good time to celebrate,” Zastrow said. “I&#8217;d like to see accountability on the unnamed FBI agents who filed reports on us, and we still don&#8217;t know their names, who followed us, who tracked us, who messed with our family.”
Zastrow, a devout Christian who travels the country engaging in evangelism and pro-life events, was convicted in January 2024 of violating the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances Act, a Clinton-era statute that makes it a crime to block the entrances of abortion facilities. He and 22 other pro-life activists were <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/pardoned-pro-life-activist-says-hes-running-on-adrenaline-and-the-holy-ghost-after-trump-pardon" target="_blank" rel="noopener">pardoned</a> by President Donald Trump his first week in office.
The DOJ report revealed that the Biden administration weaponized the FACE Act by closely working with radical groups like the National Abortion Federation to keep tabs on pro-life activists. Zastrow said he would like to see FACE repealed, saying that “the federal government shouldn&#8217;t have this big of a club.”
Emails revealed earlier this month showed abortion groups were tracking Zastrow and were working closely with Patel.
In one email included in the DOJ’s report from September 2021, Patel reached out to the National Abortion Federation to ask if they knew Zastrow’s travel plans. “Do you have any info on Zastrow and Co’s travel to Montana?” Patel wrote.
Zastrow said he wasn’t surprised that pro-abortion groups tracked him and his family, saying that had been going on for years. Yet he did agree with one thing the pro-abortionists said about him and his fellow activists.
“They&#8217;re trying to make us to be wild-eyed, religious zealots,” he said. “And that&#8217;s because we are wild-eyed, religious zealots for Jesus.”
Paul Vaughn, a Tennessee father who was placed on house arrest after being <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/a-glorious-struggle-pro-life-father-of-11-targeted-by-biden-awaits-sentencing-over-pro-life-protest" target="_blank" rel="noopener">convicted</a> on the FACE Act, also welcomed the report from the Justice Department.
“We’re thrilled the truth is coming out,&#8221; he told The Daily Wire. &#8220;We knew that the Biden DOJ was acting inappropriately and maliciously behind the scenes.&#8221;
Vaughn’s home was raided by armed FBI agents without warning in 2022 and his young children were outside getting ready for school.
“We had no warning, we had no knowledge that we were even being investigated, let alone charged, until they showed up and arrested me at gunpoint in front of my children,” he said. “It&#8217;s just wickedness. It was designed to instill fear in a segment of the population that is pro-life that believes abortion is murder, and it believes it shouldn&#8217;t be a part of a civil society.”
In the days leading up to Vaughn’s arrest by the FBI, emails showed that the Justice Department officials discussed the optics of arresting the defendants rather than allowing self-surrender. In one email, Patel wrote that the “unspoken reason” the FBI was going to stage dramatic arrests rather than allow self-surrender was because “the FBI really likes to make arrests.”
Steve Crampton, a lawyer with the Thomas More Society who represented many of the pro-life defendants, praised the Trump administration for its extensive investigation into Biden’s use of the FACE Act.
“It is just extraordinary to me that the Trump DOJ has taken such pains to right the egregious wrongs of the previous administration,” Crampton told The Daily Wire. “I think this is, you know, the word unprecedented is overused these days, but this is unprecedented.”
He said the hundreds of pages of documents included in the report showed that the Biden administration engaged in selective prosecution, discrimination on the basis of religion, and discrimination on the basis of political allegiances.
Part of the Biden administration’s novel strategy against the pro-life defendants was to pair the FACE Act charges with conspiracy against rights, a felony charge that can be punished with over a decade in prison.
One email flagged by Crampton revealed a Justice Department official saying that the conspiracy against rights charge was specifically being used to take away the gun rights of defendants. An official said that prosecutors were “inclined” to bring the conspiracy charge so that the defendants in Detroit would have felonies and would be &#8220;barred from possessing firearms.”
Crampton added that the emails revealed the political bias of the Justice Department under Biden.
“It just exposes the ideological underpinnings of the DOJ, and it&#8217;s a love affair, really, with the poor abortion movement,” he said. “It just kind of makes my skin crawl to think that these are the folks that are charged with and empowered with the full weight of the federal government to apply the law in an even handed way.”
He said he was grateful to see Patel and three other FACE Act prosecutors cut from the DOJ on Monday.
“It&#8217;s astonishing to read and to know that this is the way it ought to be, trying to restore the rule of law is an awfully difficult undertaking after it&#8217;s been trampled underfoot by the Biden administration,” Crampton said. “But God bless President Trump and his team for trying to restore some faith in the system.”

Pro-Lifer Imprisoned By Biden Responds To DOJ Shakeup: ‘I Want To Come To Some Firing Parties’

Biden administration officials may have broken the law by concealing small business loans to Planned Parenthood, a senator said Monday.
Small Business Administration officials disbursed and forgave loans to Planned Parenthood and its affiliates even after the agency determined that the group is not a small business that would be eligible. Top officials, including Biden SBA Administrator Isabella Guzman, concealed their maneuvering on the topic by substituting the words Planned Parenthood with &#8220;Benghazi&#8221; in emails, Sen. Joni Ernst (R-Iowa), who chairs the committee that oversees the agency, revealed Monday.
&#8220;We now know that after the SBA Biden officials met, planned and strategized (over &#8216;Benghazi&#8217;), keeping the White House involved, approximately $90 million in Planned Parenthood SBA PPP loans and interest on the loans were forgiven by the Biden administration,&#8221; she said.
Ernst asked the Department of Justice to investigate the officials under a statute that says anyone who attempts to conceal a federal record can be imprisoned for up to three years, according to a letter first obtained by The Daily Wire.
In the early days of the 2020 pandemic, the first Trump administration&#8217;s Small Business Administration sent more than $80 million in COVID loans reserved for small businesses to Planned Parenthood and 38 affiliates after they &#8220;self-certified&#8221; as eligible.
More than 90 Republican members of Congress wrote to the agency, noting that &#8220;under the rules of the CARES ACT, a nonprofit that exceeds 500 employees, as Planned Parenthood did, was not a small business and should be deemed &#8216;disqualified from PPP loans.'&#8221; Under SBA rules, entities that are &#8220;affiliated&#8221; with a larger entity aren&#8217;t small businesses.
The next month, SBA sent letters to Planned Parenthood affiliates &#8220;informing them they were ineligible for SBA loans&#8221; and asking for &#8220;potential repayment.&#8221;
By the time Joe Biden entered the White House in February 2021, SBA still hadn&#8217;t gotten the money back, and Planned Parenthood affiliates later received a second round of payments, Ernst said.
In April 2021, Republicans demanded to know &#8220;the steps the agency took once Planned Parenthood affiliates were deemed ineligible for SBA loans,&#8221; she wrote.
That month, the SBA&#8217;s top lawyer, Peggy Hamilton, convened top honchos with an email subject line &#8220;Benghazi (PPP/PPH) Decisions.&#8221; The context suggested that Benghazi was a code word for Planned Parenthood.
The email tasked staff with &#8220;reviewing loans to non profit PPP applicants to decision whether affiliation bars eligibility&#8230; WH has been engaged. Need to inform WH as decisions are made.&#8221;
In a direct message, Hamilton reminded a colleague of the code, writing, &#8220;Can I schedule a meeting so we can decision Benghazi (Planned Parenthood)?&#8221;
&#8220;Yes, let&#8217;s talk Benghazi,&#8221; came the reply.
&#8220;It strains credulity to think SBA&#8217;s General Counsel Peggy Hamilton was doing anything other than hiding her Planned Parenthood records from Congressional and public scrutiny and oversight,&#8221; Ernst wrote. &#8220;That&#8217;s not something she is allowed to do under federal law, and, as a lawyer for almost three decades, she knew that.&#8221;
As Republicans continued to press the agency to discuss the Planned Parenthood issue and &#8220;the agency&#8217;s overall responsiveness&#8221; to Congress, officials kept using the coded email, Ernst said. The officials included Arthur Plews, who later became the agency&#8217;s chief of staff.
At a hearing in May 2021, Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) pressed SBA Administration Guzman about $17 million in funding that went to Planned Parenthood affiliates after the agency said they weren&#8217;t eligible, saying, &#8220;You believe you are above the law &#8230; It looks like you are specifically hiding this information from us.&#8221;
Two days later, SBA officials used the Benghazi email chain to say they would &#8220;like to set up a meeting to discuss forgiveness.&#8221;
In June 2021, Administration Guzman herself set up a Microsoft Teams meeting called &#8220;Benghazi (PPP/PPH) Decisions,&#8221; records show.
Ernst noted, &#8220;If someone tried to search for government records related to Planned Parenthood&#8217;s loans and loan forgiveness &#8230; this meeting would not have appeared, as again it was concealed as Benghazi.&#8221;
&#8220;PPH&#8221; is not an acronym used for the abortion provider, which is sometimes initialized PPFA, for Planned Parenthood for America, she said.
&#8220;If other SBA Biden officials are complicit in conspiring with SBA&#8217;s General Counsel Peggy Hamilton and Administration Guzman to conceal or attempt to conceal federal records and evade public records retention laws, that is in clear violation of 18 U.S.C. S2017 and deserves investigation for potential Federal Records Act violations,&#8221; Ernst said.
Given the email&#8217;s note that &#8220;need to inform WH as decisions are made,&#8221; those conspirators could currently work in the White House, Ernst said.

Planned Parenthood’s business model increasingly relies on transgender procedures, with the latest statistics showing a large spike in services for gender-confused individuals from 2024 to 2025. 
A <a href="https://concernedwomen.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/Gender-Affirming-Care-in-Planned-Parenthoods-Regional-Annual-Reports-FINAL-1-1.pdf">report</a> from the Concerned Women for America Legislative Action Committee, first shared with The Daily Wire, found a 40% increase in so-called “gender-affirming care” services at 14 of Planned Parenthood’s biggest affiliates. The group dug into the regional reports after Planned Parenthood’s <a href="https://www.plannedparenthood.org/uploads/filer_public/6a/19/6a191461-a0ad-4ea0-8118-aa9184c24a31/digital-2025-ppfa-annualreport-c3.pdf">national report</a> did not disclose how many transgender procedures it was involved in for fiscal year 2025. 
“This is several years in a row now that this number has increased despite society for the most part turning it back and reversing course on a lot of this,” Concerned Women for America Legislative strategist Macy Petty told The Daily Wire. “Planned Parenthood has found a way to continue this harmful and destructive business.”
Examples of increases included Planned Parenthood Great Northwest, Hawaii, Alaska, Indiana, and Kentucky reporting 24,295 “gender-affirming care” services in <a href="https://www.plannedparenthood.org/uploads/filer_public/c8/70/c870cd3f-101d-4519-9879-55a846074a86/2025_impact_report_digital_1.pdf">2025</a>, up from 13,432 in <a href="https://www.plannedparenthood.org/uploads/filer_public/50/98/5098af46-fcfb-4c40-b682-ecdc002906c5/2024_impact_report_digital.pdf">2024</a>. Planned Parenthood of Greater Ohio reported 8,644 transgender services in 2025, up from 6,206 in 2024. 
In Planned Parenthood’s Pasadena affiliate, the number of transgender-related visits increased from 1,544 in 2024 to 2,346 in 2025. In its annual report, it <a href="https://www.plannedparenthood.org/uploads/filer_public/b4/79/b479a34c-032b-4944-a914-432b5d7a720f/2026_pppsgv_ar_option_digital.pdf">said</a> that it supported legislation in California “extending statewide protections for gender-affirming care to people of all ages.”
The trend of increasing transgender services has been happening for years. The region Planned Parenthood of Greater Washington and Northern Idaho has more than doubled its transgender services since 2022-2023, and Planned Parenthood of Great Plains has increased by 90%, according to the report.

The services <a href="https://www.plannedparenthood.org/planned-parenthood-great-northwest-hawaii-alaska-indiana-kentuck/patients/health-care-services/hrt-hormone-therapy-for-trans-and-non-binary-patients">include</a> cross-sex hormones offered at in-person centers or via telehealth. Some Planned Parenthood affiliates restrict this to those 18 and older, while others, in states like California and Maryland, <a href="https://www.plannedparenthood.org/planned-parenthood-mar-monte/patient-resources/gender-affirming-care">offer</a> cross-sex hormones to minors aged 16 and 17 with “<a href="https://www.plannedparenthood.org/planned-parenthood-maryland/gender-affirming-care">parental consent</a>.” Cross-sex hormones can lead to infertility, heart problems, and metabolic issues.
Planned Parenthood’s national report did not discuss the increase in transgender services, only noting that it participated in multiple studies on state restrictions on transgender procedures for kids and saying in a footnote that “transgender services” are included in the “other procedures” categories of its services breakdown. 
Petty said the reason the report made scant references to its growing transgender business was due to a looming funding fight in Congress. Last year, abortion providers like Planned Parenthood were defunded through the One Big Beautiful Bill. That defunding provision is set to expire in July. 
“Given these revelations, the federal government must stop giving taxpayer dollars to Planned Parenthood — we should not be funding this evil organization,” Concerned Women for America President Penny Nance told The Daily Wire.
While the Trump administration has been quieter on abortion, it has worked aggressively to cut off funding for organizations and hospitals that perform transgender procedures on kids. 
“The president especially is looking to cut off any kind of federal engagement with these sex-rejecting procedures and hormone replacements,” Petty said. “And so I think Planned Parenthood is certainly doing everything they can to keep the conversations strictly about abortion and not their side business of transing kids.”
In addition to increasing transgender services, Planned Parenthood did 434,450 abortions in fiscal year 2025, up 8% from the previous year and 34% since 2014.

The Supreme Court’s liberal justices delayed releasing their dissents on the 2022 landmark abortion decision, brushing aside requests from conservative justices who faced threats following the leak of the draft decision, according to a new book from conservative author Mollie Hemingway.
In <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Alito-Justice-Reshaped-Restored-Constitution/dp/1541607139" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Alito: The Justice Who Reshaped the Supreme Court and Restored the Constitution</a>, which was released on Tuesday, Hemingway lays out how Justice Samuel Alito’s balance of principles and pragmatism delivered one of the most important Supreme Court rulings in American history. She also goes behind the scenes following the shocking leak of the Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health decision.
On May 12, 2022 — 10 days after POLITICO published the leaked majority opinion in Dobbs — justices met in conference to set the dates for the release of looming decisions. The Dobbs ruling was at the top of conservative justices’ minds during the conference.
“The majority opinion had been done for more than three months and was waiting only for the dissents,” wrote Hemingway, the editor-in-chief of The Federalist. “Alito asked the dissenters to make the completion of their dissents their priority because delay of the decision was a security threat. Abortion supporters had an incentive to kill one or more of the justices in the majority to change the outcome. The dissenters demurred.”
Justice Neil Gorsuch pressed the liberal justices to give a date when they could expect the dissents to be completed, but the liberals refused to set any date, according to Hemingway.
“Following the conference, Justice Elena Kagan visited Justice Stephen Breyer’s office,” Hemingway continued. “Though he had not yet said he would accommodate the justices whose lives were at risk by getting out a dissent, he was the member of the liberal bloc most willing to do so … Kagan remonstrated with Breyer not to accommodate the majority, screaming so loudly, observers noted, that the ‘wall was shaking.’”
In an interview with The Daily Wire, Hemingway called the liberal justices’ stunt “outrageous.”
“You had the actual justices having their lives threatened multiple times a day, their children&#8217;s lives threatened, their spouses&#8217; lives threatened. They had to move out of their homes. They had to wear bulletproof vests,” she added. “There was a man who was arrested for trying to kill Brett Kavanaugh and his family, and he said he wanted to take out three justices.&#8221;
&#8220;Delaying a decision because even though you know that abortion is not really mentioned in the Constitution you wish it were, even if it costs the lives of your colleagues, it&#8217;s outrageous and shocking behavior.”

</div>
Just over a month after the liberal justices denied conservatives’ requests to release the opinion quickly, a man who <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/police-arrest-armed-man-near-brett-kavanaughs-home-who-allegedly-wanted-to-kill-the-justice-report" target="_blank" rel="noopener">plotted to assassinate </a>Kavanaugh was arrested near the justice&#8217;s home.
Hemingway told The Daily Wire that if a plot to murder a Supreme Court justice had succeeded, any pending decisions would have been disrupted.
“It&#8217;s important that people know, had one of the left-wing activists succeeded in assassinating a Supreme Court justice, it would have changed the decision because a ruling is only official when it&#8217;s handed down publicly,” Hemingway said.
After weeks of threats against conservative justices and their families forced some, including Alito and his wife, to move to secret locations, the Dobbs decision was officially handed down on June 24 in a 6-3 majority ruling, with five of the conservative justices agreeing to overturn the precedent set by Roe v. Wade.
Alito penned the majority opinion that overturned the infamous Roe decision that found a Constitutional protection for abortion. Hemingway explained why Alito was the perfect justice to write the opinion for conservatives. Since Chief Justice John Roberts did not sign onto the majority opinion overturning Roe, Justice Clarence Thomas, the longest-serving justice, chose who would write the opinion.
“Thomas knew that it had to be done perfectly. It had to keep a majority together,” Hemingway wrote. “There had been previous efforts at the court to overturn Roe that had fallen apart. And so he chose Alito because he knew he would do it in a masterful way and that he would keep the majority together. One of Alito&#8217;s specialties is keeping a majority together even if that means sacrificing some of what he would want to happen in a decision.”
Hemingway&#8217;s book hits the shelves as rumors about a potential Alito retirement swirl around Washington, D.C., but Hemingway told The Daily Wire that she does not believe Alito will step down anytime soon.
&#8220;I think there are so many people who are trying to get Alito in particular to retire,&#8221; Hemingway said, adding, &#8220;I find pressure campaigns to be somewhat obnoxious and I don&#8217;t know why people do them exactly, but if you&#8217;re going to pressure, I think that people should consider pressuring the chief, John Roberts. He&#8217;s in his 70s. He&#8217;s the second longest-serving justice on the court after Thomas. And it would be probably better for the conservative legal movement to replace John Roberts than to replace either Thomas or Alito.&#8221;

Liberal Supreme Court Justice Had A ‘Shocking’ Post-Dobbs Breakdown

Samuel Alito

The Department of Justice has released a <a href="https://www.justice.gov/opa/media/1436006/dl">report</a> documenting how the Biden administration weaponized the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances (FACE) Act against pro-life Americans. More than 95% of its 882 pages are actual documentary evidence: emails and texts, memos, you name it. But even that does not tell the whole sordid story.
President Bill Clinton signed the FACE Act into law in May 1994. Attorney General Janet Reno told a Senate committee that it was needed to combat a nationwide campaign by pro-life activists to shut down abortion clinics through “blockades, sabotage … stalking … arson, bombings, and finally …murder.” One senator at that hearing accused pro-lifers of “terrorism.”xxxxx
Rahm Emanuel, Clinton’s political director in 1993, would later famously counsel not to let a crisis go to waste. The abortion zealots used the controversy over some activities to create a weapon they would aggressively use to target and suppress the entire pro-life movement. <a href="https://www.heritage.org/sites/default/files/2025-03/LM373_0.pdf">Here’s how they did it</a>.
The first version of the FACE Act, introduced by then-Rep. Charles Schumer (D-NY) in February 1993, focused specifically on what the bill’s title said, protecting access to abortion clinics. It prohibited physical obstruction of facilities with the intent of preventing individuals from obtaining “reproductive health services.” It allowed civil suits only by private plaintiffs who had been concretely affected by such obstruction and did not permit punitive damages.
The House Judiciary Committee, without holding any hearing, began the process of radicalizing the Schumer bill. Physically obstructing a building became intimidating or interfering with any person or class of persons who were obtaining or providing reproductive health services. The bill neither defined intimidation nor interference nor limited where, how, or when it may have occurred. It allowed civil suits not only by anyone “aggrieved” by this undefined activity, but by any attorney general (federal or state) who believed that a “group of persons” had been so aggrieved. Oh, and the House Judiciary Committee added punitive damages to the plaintiffs’ arsenal.
Senator Edward Kennedy (D-MA) introduced the FACE Act in the Senate in March 1993, merging into this radicalizing traffic. His version even had language that would specifically exclude pro-life pregnancy centers from the act’s coverage. As if allowing both private and public plaintiffs to sue over being “aggrieved” was not vague enough, the Kennedy bill would allow suits whenever the attorney general believed that a person or group “is being, has been, or may be” aggrieved by pro-life activities. Before you ask, no, the bill put no time limit on a past grievance nor did it provide any way of determining whether or how a group “may be” aggrieved.
The FACE Act that Clinton signed into law bore no resemblance to the bill Schumer had first introduced, but, then, that was the plan all along. Put something – anything – in the legislative hopper that could be morphed and twisted into a weapon that is so vague, and carries such draconian potential penalties, that it can be used to target and suppress ordinary pro-life expression and activities.
The new DOJ report documents that abortion radicals got exactly what they wanted, detailing several ways in which the Biden administration weaponized the FACE Act. These include biased enforcement, collaboration with pro-abortion groups to track and monitor pro-life activity, blatant anti-religious bias by prosecutors, treating peaceful pro-life activists much more harshly than violent pro-abortion activists, and even helping funnel money to pro-abortion groups.
Weaponizing the FACE Act happened by design, not by chance. And to top it all off, Congress did not have authority to enact it in 1993 and certainly lacks any authority to maintain it now. Reno testified back then that the FACE Act was “crucial to ensuring that women have an unobstructed opportunity to choose whether or not to have an abortion.” The so-called “right to abortion,” in fact, is by far the most frequently cited basis for Congress’s authority to enact the FACE Act. 
In 2022, however, the Supreme Court told us what we really knew all along, that the Constitution does not, and never did, confer any right to abortion. Congress has no authority to enforce a right that does not exist or to fashion weapons to suppress rights that do.
The FACE Act was an abuse of power when it was enacted, and the Justice Department has now documented the fruit of that poisonous tree. Congress should repeal this unconstitutional fraud.

Real human insight and human stories — from our featured writers to you.

The buzzy new Apple TV series “Margo’s Got Money Troubles” didn&#8217;t seem poised to be appreciated by conservatives. The show’s premise of a single mom making money on OnlyFans felt icky, leading me to tune in out of morbid curiosity more than expecting any kind of solid entertainment. The near-perfect Rotten Tomatoes score from critics did nothing to alter my preconceived notions; if anything, it made me even more skeptical. We all know how mainstream media critics think.
So imagine my surprise when I found myself not only rooting for Margo (played brilliantly by Oscar and Emmy nominee Elle Fanning), but also agreeing with her on major social issues such as abortion and the transformative power of motherhood. I kept thinking, “Wait, this is Apple TV?”
The series follows a first-year college student who becomes pregnant after having an affair with her married professor. I knew based on the show’s synopsis that she would not choose abortion, but what I could not anticipate was how little she even considered it.
The cheating professor immediately offers to “support” Margo after she informs him about the pregnancy, hurrying to suggest that she go to Planned Parenthood, not “some cheap clinic.” Margo looks on in confusion, then accuses him: “Sounds like you’ve made my decision.” 
The awkward professor quickly backtracks with platitudes about it being her body and her choice while still making it clear what his preference is. 
“Terminating a life, that’s something to think about,” Margo tells the professor. 
In the same episode, Margo gets an ultrasound and hears her baby’s heartbeat as tears run down her face. She gazes in wonder at the printed ultrasound photo.
Margo’s mother, Shyanne (Michelle Pfeiffer), is similarly unhappy about Margo’s decision to have the baby, despite also being a single mother after having a one-night stand. “You kept me,” Margo points out, to which her mom really has no good response.
When Shyanne asks if Margo loves the professor, she says she doesn’t. But she also decides, “For whatever reason, I want this baby. I want it more than I’ve ever wanted anything.”
Predictably, Margo gets pushback from her roommates, with the most vocal among them haughtily complaining that Margo was “supposedly a feminist” and asking “what message is she sending?” by keeping the baby. That same roommate turns out to be a villain later on when she abruptly moves out, leaving Margo with a heavier burden of rent. 
Margo debates internally but decides pretty quickly that she’s going through with the pregnancy despite having zero support from her mother, her friends, or the child’s father. And yet, she is undoubtedly the protagonist of this story and arguably the most sane among them.
Only three episodes out of eight have been released so far, and the series has only begun dabbling in the OnlyFans territory, which is broached after Margo loses her job due to not having reliable childcare. There’s still a chance this show could go off the rails and become a subtle advertisement for online prostitution in the face of financial hardship. 
But even if it does, “Margo’s Got Money Troubles” has done something that few modern shows have attempted in a long time. Instead of glorifying abortion and careerism, it’s showing a young woman who chose motherhood even when her entire support network told her it would ruin her life.
The series depicts the messy, uncomfortable side of single parenthood; Margo’s son Bodhi is colicky and constantly crying, he won’t latch, and she’s forced to drop out of school after he’s born. For some reason, she’s dropping $200-plus on diapers every week. 
But despite all this, the young mother still looks at her son lovingly and calls him “beautiful.” Throughout the first three episodes, she never once questions if she made the right choice when she decided not to end his life in the womb.
It’s refreshing to see this perspective coming out of Hollywood. Maybe the world really is healing after all.

We now know that the Biden administration was literally partnering with abortion activists to track and imprison pro-lifers.
When I see President Trump and Pope Leo going at it, I think to myself, if we&#8217;re going to talk about presidents who are legitimately attacking Catholics, we should really be talking about Barack Obama, who went after the Little Sisters of the Poor and decided that he was going to mainstream every sin he could find.
We should talk about Joe Biden, who apparently was using the DOJ to go after pro-lifers, which is insane.
According to Daily Wire <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/how-biden-partnered-with-abortion-activists-to-track-and-imprison-pro-lifers">reporting</a>, President Biden&#8217;s administration relied on information gathered from radical pro-abortion groups to track, prosecute, and snoop on peaceful pro-life protesters who were later arrested by the FBI.
A DOJ report titled “The Biden Administration&#8217;s Weaponization of the FACE Act” examined more than 700,000 records.
The FACE Act is a bill that was designed to prevent people from obstructing entry to abortion clinics. The FACE Act also said that you weren&#8217;t allowed to invade churches during services. That came up in the context of Don Lemon and his friends invading and disturbing a church service in order to protest ICE.
The dossiers that the DOJ examined contained information about pro-life activists who had not yet been charged with any federal crimes, but were deemed threats by abortion groups because of their activism.
<a href="https://get.dailywire.com/">Become a DailyWire+ member and help us break the stories that matter.</a>
We&#8217;ve seen this kind of pattern emerge in all of the reporting from the Biden administration, over and over and over. They were using left-wing cutout groups to do their dirty work, whether it was the Biden administration State Department contracting out to other services to promote boycotts of right-wing news outlets, or whether it was the Biden administration outsourcing its investigative pursuits to anti-life, pro-choice organizations to target pro-lifers.
The Biden administration liked to do such things.
According to the Daily Wire <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/how-biden-partnered-with-abortion-activists-to-track-and-imprison-pro-lifers">reporting</a>, the weaponization can be traced to former Attorney General Merrick Garland&#8217;s resurrection of the National Task Force on Violence Against Reproductive Health Care Providers the month after the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade in June 2022.
That task force was operating out of the department&#8217;s civil rights division under the direction of Sanjay Patel, who was <a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/news/doj-fires-4-prosecutors-face-act-biden-administration/">reportedly fired</a> on Monday. Patel was on texting terms with the National Abortion Federation security team and was regularly communicating with the Planned Parenthood Federation of America and the Feminist Majority Foundation, according to the DOJ. Members of the Biden DOJ were coordinating openly with various abortion groups and leaders in the abortion movement.
This was all part of these non-governmental organizations working hand-in-glove with the federal government under Joe Biden. Daily Wire reporting looked into the sentences that were sought by the Biden DOJ against pro-life activists, and what they found is that the Biden DOJ asked for a longer, average sentence for pro-life defendants compared to pro-abortion defendants. Actual sentences shook out to an average of 14 months for pro-life defendants, versus three months for pro-choice defendants.
This is astonishing. It demonstrates the full-scale animus that the Biden administration had for the pro-life movement.
This is nothing new. If you go back to the Clinton administration, the attempt to target political adversaries using the DOJ is perfectly obvious.
I&#8217;ve said over and over that the Left likes to say that Donald Trump broke all the rules, that he&#8217;s the one who killed the American political system.
The reality is that the American political system was already dead, and Trump stumbled upon it. Barack Obama used the IRS to go after pro-life groups, conservative groups, and Tea Party groups. Joe Biden&#8217;s DOJ targeted pro-lifers.
There&#8217;s nothing new here. Democrats have been doing this for a very, very long time.
Imagine the scandal if, for example, the Trump administration were coordinating with pro-life groups to go after abortion advocates. Can you imagine the scandal? Can you imagine the front page coverage?
One of the questions here is how people who were involved in this were allowed to stay at the DOJ for so long. Sanjay Patel was still working for the DOJ all the way until Monday, which is crazy and demonstrates the truth of President Trump&#8217;s statement that there is, in fact, a deep state.
There are lifelong appointees of various administrations who are still working inside the current administration — working against the president’s priorities. That&#8217;s very real. It just goes to show you that the attempt to cleanse the administration of holdovers is an ongoing pursuit.
The Democratic Party is perfectly willing to use the auspices of government to go after religious people. They&#8217;ve been doing it over and over and over again. It’s one of the reasons I said to my family that we ought to leave California. My great fear is that states like California will effectively quasi-criminalize religious practice by essentially saying that any 501C3 that receives tax-exempt status from the state government must buy into the left-wing social agenda.
If the Democrats were able to take over the Supreme Court, they would get away with that. They would be able to use anti-discrimination law as a guise for cracking down on First Amendment religiously protected activity. That is the direction that Democrats would love to move. And if left to their own devices, they absolutely would be able to do it.
If the Democrats had won in 2024, Kamala Harris would have attempted to stack the Supreme Court and state governments everywhere would be pursuing anti-religious activity just like this.
The Biden administration was, in my opinion, the worst administration in modern American history, worse even than Obama — because Obama didn&#8217;t say the quiet part out loud.
Biden said the quiet part out loud.
