Podcasts about Planned Parenthood

Today on Mea Culpa, I'm joined by Deja Foxx, the 25-year-old Gen Z activist now running for Congress in Arizona's 7th district. Deja began her political journey a decade ago after a viral moment confronting Senator Jeff Flake about access to Planned Parenthood. Since then, she's devoted herself to organizing and advocating for her community. In this episode, we have a powerful conversation about Gen Z resistance, political survival, and what it means to fight for the future in the face of rising authoritarianism. Alongside her personal story, we unpack Trump's disastrous policy decisions, the weaponization of ICE, and the growing disconnect between political institutions and the people they claim to represent.

This week we dig into the federal and state budget battles, and the question of a 3rd term for Governor Tony Evers, with special guests Dan Shafer of the Recombobulation Area and Civic Media, and Steven Webb from Planned Parenthood. We open with a discussion of the critical importance of Juneteenth this year, as DEI is under attack by the Trump Administration, and some cities and businesses pull back from supporting local celebrations. Robert provides a simple explanation of how the new U.S. Senate budget bill is even worse on Medicaid than the House budget bill, and it particularly damages rural hospitals. We update listeners on the latest State Budget news, including Speaker Vos' continuing crusade to force Governor Evers' hand with slashing cuts to UW System funding. The plot thickens because Senate Republicans can't pass a budget without UW cuts or they will lose the most right-wing members of their caucus, Senators Kapanga & Nass. In addition, to serious tactical disagreements with the governor on how to win his state budget priorities the public supports by huge margins, like properly funding public schools, expanding BadgerCare, funding child care and closing Green Bay, their is now a serious discussion about whether it is time for Governor Evers to lead by a timely passing of the torch to the next generation of Democratic leaders and not running for Governor in 2026. We welcome award winning Milwaukee area journalist, Dan Shafer, founder of The Recombobulation Area and now part of the Civic Media network, who makes the case that it's time to pass the Torch and Tony Evers should not run for a third term as governor. He argues Wisconsin's governor needs to do what so many other Democrats have failed to do and step aside when the time is right. We close the show with Citizen Action board member, Steven Webb, who is the executive director of Planned Parenthood Advocates of Wisconsin, to discuss the devastating cuts to healthcare in the federal Budget bills that will damage Planned Parenthood's ability to provide vital frontline healthcare to Wisconsinites. Steve tells us how you can also get involved in organizing with PPAWI to fight back.

Tonight on NJ Spotlight News, with the cost of power soaring and a heat wave on the way, state regulators and utilities hatch a plan to offer short-term relief for electric customers. Plus, as a federal immigration crackdown sweeps the nation, ICE's past problematic treatment of detainees resurfaces. Also, a federal judge rejects ICE efforts to remove a New Jersey resident who's been legally protected for more than 15 years.

The fight for life is far from over. Family Research Council’s Mary Szoch joins host Casey Harper to discuss what the life issue landscape looks like since the overturn of Roe v. Wade. While a lot of good has come from that decision, abortions have actually been on the rise over the last few years - driven largely by the widespread use of chemical abortion pills like mifepristone. Harper and Szoch unpack the health risks of mifepristone, Planned Parenthood’s latest report, and clarify that pro-life laws protect, not endanger, women.

[This is a slightly different kind of podcast, a news summary - and will have its own podcast feed eventually]Every Fourth Turning, at least since the founding of America, has been defined by a great war: the Revolutionary War, the Civil War, and World War II. When I began this Substack a few years back, the world war we might be fighting would be Iran, Russia, and China against the United States and its allies, including Israel. It made sense then. Not so much now. That was before Putin invaded Ukraine, before October 7th, before the United States government pursued Trump like he was a war criminal, before his attempted assassination, and his second win. Steve Bannon says we're already fighting World War III.Now, as Trump declares “unconditional surrender, " everyone wonders, is this it? Is this our great war?Iran doesn't appear to have an ally in Russia or China at the moment. Trump just met with his security advisers and will address the nation later this afternoon. It does feel a little like the post 9/11 drumbeat for war, and we're all still wary and fearful that it might turn into “regime change” rather than a negotiated peace. We will know what their plans are soon enough. The neocons like Lindsey Graham are prepared to go all the way.Earlier today, Tammy Bruce spoke to the press from the State Department:She mentions that Trump has made the same warning, that Iran can never have a nuke, over 40 times, going back to 2011. Here is that video:Dealing with Iran has been one of the main conflicts between Trump and Barack Obama, so it's easier to see how it started and how it's going. Trump's administration is not the Bush administration. If the 2008 Wall Street meltdown was the crisis that sparked the Fourth Turning and the mission is, as Steve Bannon says, to dismantle the Deep State that took us to the $700 billion bailout, then a big war in the Middle East would fracture the MAGA coalition. For his part, Benjamin Netanyu has said he believes Iran threatens America too, and indeed, they've been trying to assassinate Trump. If there is a graceful way to end the threat without getting into war, that's the path Trump will want to take.A MAGA Divided Cannot Stand.MAGA is split over whether or not to aid Israel in its fight against Iran. Tucker Carlson, Alex Jones, and Marjorie Taylor-Greene are locking arms with Dave Smith and Glenn Greenwald to push back against any involvement. Breitbart reports that members of the Squad have now joined Thomas Massie to limit Trump's power on Iran:From Breitbart:While he remains the sole Republican backing such a legislative effort, several top Democrats from the far-left of the Democratic Party, including “Squad” members Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY), Rashida Tlaib (D-MI), and Ilhan Omar (D-MN), have indicated they are signing on to the Massie proposal.Alex Jones is opposed to any help or aid in Israel's war, writing:Tucker Carlson and Steve Bannon discussed our involvement, with Bannon urging Trump and MAGA to keep their eye on the ball. He means to go after and dismantle the Deep State:Raheem Kassam sums up the internal conflict well:Ice Raids Paused, Then UnpausedThe Iran conflict is not the only dividing issue in MAGA. There is a split between those who want to support farms and hotels with their large immigrant staff, many of whom are undocumented and have worked for the companies for decades. Versus the opposing side, who insist Trump must not back off even an inch when it comes to mass deportations. Trump listened to them and retreated from his original plan to offer a potential middle ground.Federal Agents Arrest NYC Comptroller & Mayoral Candidate Brad Lander At Immigration CourtAccording to the Left, Lander was arrested for asking to see a warrant. But the truth is, he was arrested for assault, per a Fox report:New York City Comptroller Brad Lander was arrested by Department of Homeland Security(DHS) agents on Tuesday after allegedly assaulting a federal officer. The article quoted a DHS spokesperson,"Our heroic ICE law enforcement officers face a 413% increase in assaults against them—it is wrong that politicians seeking higher office undermine law enforcement safety to get a viral moment, no one is above the law, and if you lay a hand on a law enforcement officer, you will face consequences."Letitia James said:"This is profoundly unacceptable. Arresting Comptroller Lander for the simple act of standing up for immigrants and their civil rights is a shocking abuse of power. No one should face fear and intimidation in a courthouse, and this is a grotesque escalation of tensions. The administration's rampant targeting of New Yorkers only makes our communities less safe."The Democrats had four years of the Biden administration to do something about the border. They didn't. Instead, they encouraged millions to flood in, many of them unvetted. Yet, because the migrants represent an oppressed group, the Democrats can't turn away. They are choosing this as one of their base issues because it feeds their ongoing delusion that they are living under a fascist dictator. No Kings vs. Army's 250th AnniversaryThe coverage of the No Kings protest was amplified to look like a grassroots movement, even though it was well-funded and populated by the same people who had protested in the “Hands Off” event not long before. It reached roughly the same number of participants, around 5 million. This will be their playbook for the next five years.The legacy media muted the coverage of the Army's parade, and if they covered it at all, they covered it as militaristic, fascist-like, and compared it to North Korea.Here is a balanced report by Mark Halperin, Sean Spicer, and Dan Turrentine on 2Way:Assassination NationThe Democrats will not let the crisis of the recent shootings of Democratic lawmakers in Minnesota go to waste and are currently calling the shooter the “MAGA assassin.”On the list of targets were 45 Democrats, “including dozens of Minnesota lawmakers and members of Congress such as Rep. Angie Craig, Rep. Ilhan Omar, and Sen. Tina Smith. It also included members of Planned Parenthood, philanthropist MacKenzie Scott, who has donated hundreds of millions of dollars to the organization, and several healthcare centers across the Midwest,” according to Fox9.As usual, the reaction to the shootings, horrific and tragic though they are, is far less than we saw for the assassination of the healthcare CEO Brian Thompson by Luigi Mangione, who has been turned into a martyr and a hero by the Left. Both assassination attempts against President Trump were not treated the same way by the legacy media, and coverage was muted. Again, we turn to 2way to hear balanced coverage.If you think we're living through crazy times, you would be right. Every Fourth Turning feels transformational in good and bad ways. Change is all around us. These are just a few pressure points we are currently hitting as a country.Let me know if you like this format.

In a world that's become deeply transactional, we need to get more relational. We need to have the difficult conversations about access to health care, abortion care, women's rights, minority rights, human rights…because ultimately they're all connected. Planned Parenthood, an organization used by 1/3 of American women and 1/10 American men is under direct attack by the Big Beautiful Bill and it has nothing to do with health care and everything to do with control.  As always, if you find worth in what we do, please consider SUBSCRIBING to PoliticsGirl Premium.

A decade after Pope Francis issued Laudato si', his encyclical on care for creation, the Church reflects on its global impact. Meanwhile, a House Oversight Subcommittee investigates Planned Parenthood's use of federal funds. And, tensions are soaring as the Israel-Iran conflict continues.

A Wisconsin farmer is suing the US Department of Agriculture over programs that provide incentives to women and people of color. Wisconsin's Capitol will have new security measures in place after two Minnesota lawmakers were shot in their homes. And, Planned Parenthood of Wisconsin could lose half of its revenue if the budget bill passed by House Republicans gets through the Senate.

Minnesota is still reeling from the horrific state legislator shootings and the following manhunt that played out over the weekend. It ended with the arrest of Vance Boelter Sunday evening. Investigators found a list of potential targets in Boelter's car, including officials, businesses and Planned Parenthood locations. Ruth Richardson is the CEO of Planned Parenthood of North Central States, as well as a former Minnesota state legislator. She joined Minnesota Now to talk about threats to Planned Parenthood – and remember her former colleague Melissa Hortman, who was killed on Saturday.

Among those mourning the loss of Representative Melissa Hortman and her husband is Speaker of the House Lisa Demuth. We heard her reflections and remembrances. Plus, new details show the suspect in the weekend's shooting went to more than just two lawmakers homes on that night.During the search for Vance Boelter, authorities discovered lists with the names and addresses of Democratic officials and the locations of Planned Parenthood clinics. We heard from the regional CEO of Planned Parenthood.We learned more about Melissa and Mark Hortman's work volunteering for an organization that trained service dogs.There's a new report out about the experience of Minnesota kids in foster care. We heard from from someone working to make the foster care system better.

Send us a textRose O'Hara-Jolley is the Alaska State Director for Planned Parenthood Alliance Advocates. Planned Parenthood is a network of 600 health clinics across the country -- Alaska has two (one in Fairbanks and one in Anchorage) --  that provide reproductive and sexual health care including birth control, sexually transmitted infection testing and treatment, cancer screenings, well-woman exams and mental health care.  Planned Parenthood is the only provider of abortions in Alaska. Planned Parenthood Alliance Advocates is separate from the health care clinics; it is an advocacy organization tasked with keeping the Planned Parenthood clinics open and accessible. As head of that organization, Rose directs all of their advocacy including legislative lobbying, electoral engagement, endorsed candidate programming, local organizing, and youth leadership development. 

Planned Parenthood Advocates' annual state gathering in Sarpy County was postponed out of an abundance of caution for staff, supporters and community, according to the group's website. State Sen. Ashlei Spivey, an abortion rights advocate in the Nebraska Legislature, was scheduled to be the event's keynote speaker. She says the news coming out of Minnesota this week was terrifying.

Dr. Ben Carson explores the pro-life movement's impact on societal values with activist Savannah Craven Antao.

Savannah's viral encounter in New York sparks a discussion on standing up for beliefs despite adversity. The episode underscores the importance of advocating for life and continues to inspire engagement in meaningful social discourse. Her experiences are a testament to the courage it takes to confront sensitive topics head-on and the power of standing by one's convictions.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

It's Monday, June 16th, A.D. 2025. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Adam McManus Pakistani Christian acquitted of blasphemy against Islam charge Last Thursday, a Pakistani judge acquitted a 28-year-old Christian named Farhan Masih of blasphemy against Islam and terrorism charges after the prosecution failed to prove its case against him, reports Morningstar News. Masih had developed a mental illness due to excessive use of synthetic drugs and was entrapped in the false accusation by the complainant. According to Open Doors, Pakistan is the eighth most difficult country worldwide in which to live for Christians. Dear God, we thank you for enabling Farhan Masih, this Pakistani Christian, to be acquitted. Amen. Israel attacks Iran over atomic weapon; Iran retaliates Israel launched blistering attacks on the heart of Iran's nuclear and military structure Friday, deploying warplanes and drones previously smuggled into the country to assault key facilities and kill top generals and scientists, reports the Associated Press. Israeli Prime Minister Benajmin Netanyahu explained. NETANYAHU: “Moments ago, Israel launched Operation Rising Lion, a targeted military operation to roll back the Iranian threat to Israel's very survival. This operation will continue for as many days as it takes to remove this threat. For decades, the tyrants of Tehran have brazenly, openly called for Israel's destruction. They backed up their genocidal rhetoric with a program to develop nuclear weapons. “In recent years, Iran has produced enough highly enriched uranium for nine atom bombs – nine!  In recent months, Iran has taken steps that it has never taken before, steps to weaponize this enriched uranium. If not stopped, Iran could produce a nuclear weapon in a very short time. It could be a year. It could be within a few months.” Iran retaliated by firing waves of ballistic missiles at Israel, where explosions flared in the skies over Jerusalem and Tel Aviv and shook the buildings below. The Israeli military urged civilians to head to shelter, as missiles damaged homes and killed two people. U.S. Senate considers defunding Planned Parenthood In the midst of the U.S. Senate's ongoing debate about the budget, they are determining whether to defund Planned Parenthood, as President Trump has requested, reports Liberty Counsel Action. The situation is fluid and can change at any moment because of the razor-thin margin of votes.  Only  two weeks remain to get the budget on President Trump's desk.  Whether or not your two U.S. Senators are Republicans or Democrats, please call them at 202-224-3121 – any time of the day or night -- and urge them to DEFUND Planned Parenthood. Democratic Minnesota Rep. killed and Minnesota Senator injured in targeted attack A Minnesota Democratic lawmaker and her husband were shot and killed in their home early Saturday by someone posing as a police officer and a second Democratic lawmaker and his wife were wounded in what some have described as  “targeted political violence,” reports the Associated Press. Former Democratic House Speaker Melissa Hortman and her spouse were killed in their Brooklyn Park home. The other lawmaker, Democratic State Senator John Hoffman, and his wife, were shot multiple times in Champlin, a suburb of Minneapolis. Bob Jacobson, Minnesota Commissioner of Public Safety, spoke at a press conference. JACOBSON: “This is a dark day today for Minnesota and for democracy, but we will not allow fear or violence to define who we are or how we move forward.” The gunman has been identified as Vance Luther Boelter, whom Democratic Minnesota Governor Tim Walz had previously appointed to the Governor's Workforce Development Council. Christian singer Michael Tait confesses homosexual conduct & drug abuse Last Tuesday, Michael Tait, the former lead singer of the Christian rock band Newsboys and a member of the Grammy-winning group DC Talk, publicly confessed to a history of "reckless and destructive behavior," including drug and alcohol abuse and unwanted sexual conduct involving men, reports The Christian Post. In a written statement on Instagram, the 59-year-old singer acknowledged that the reports  are “sadly, largely true." He wrote, "For some two decades, I used and abused cocaine, consumed far too much alcohol, and, at times, touched men in an unwanted sensual way. I am ashamed of my life choices and actions, and make no excuses for them. I will simply call it what God calls it — sin. “I was violating everything I was raised to believe by my God-fearing Dad and Mom, about walking with Jesus and was grieving the very God I loved and sang about for most of my life. By His grace, I can say that for the past six months, I have lived a singular life—one of utter brokenness and total dependence on a loving and merciful God." Tait's confession follows an in-depth investigative report published on June 3rd by The Roys Report documenting that three men accused him of sexual assault during separate incidents dating back to 2004. Tait quoted Psalm 51, King David's famous prayer of repentance: "Blot out my transgressions … create in me a new heart, O God." God-haters upset with 10 Commandments displayed in Arkansas schools A group of God-hating organizations has filed a lawsuit against a recently passed law in Arkansas that requires public schools to display the Ten Commandments on the wall in a 16-inch by 20-inch poster with a  font size that makes it easily readable, reports The Christian Post. Americans United for Separation of Church and State, the American Civil Liberties Union, and the Freedom From Religion Foundation filed a complaint on Wednesday on behalf of a religiously diverse group of parents. At issue is Act 573, a measure signed into law by Arkansas Governor Sarah Huckabee Sanders in April and is scheduled to take effect in August. The lawsuit argues that "Act 573 is not neutral with respect to religion." Republican State Senator Jim Dotson, one of the bill's primary sponsors, argued in March that the Decalogue displays were not unconstitutional. He said, "From the state to the federal level all throughout our history, it is an historical reference point or historical document that has basic things like you shall not kill, steal, commit adultery -- those basic foundations of life that are good for everybody to keep front of mind so that we are hopefully living good lives," reports KATV. After God revealed the Ten Commandments to Moses on Mt. Sinai, Exodus 20:20 records Moses telling the Jews, “Do not be afraid. God has come to test you, so that the fear of God will be with you to keep you from sinning.” Worldview listeners in South Dakota, Colorado, and Indiana share their hearts I invited Worldview listeners to share what they enjoy about the newscast in 2-6 sentences by email.  You can share your thoughts -- along with your full name, city and state -- and send it to adam@TheWorldview.com Jason Bollwerk in Rapid City, South Dakota wrote, “I am a homeschooled sophomore in high school, and I listen daily to The Worldview for school. My reason for listening is not only to hear what is happening in the world, but I love hearing about all the good things that God is doing out there. Most media outlets show the dark side of what's going on. But The Worldview really shows what God's doing. Tally ho and pip pip.” Cheryl Ball in Indianapolis, Indiana wrote, “I've been reading the transcript of your newscast every morning since the presidential debates last year. I don't watch the news or read other news. So, this is basically my news input and I'm thankful for it.” And Dennis and Alyssa Guse in Castle Rock, Colorado, said, “Thank you for the faithful work you and The Worldview in 5 Minutes team do for the glory of God!  We are blessed to hear relevant news stories and encouraging Scriptures every day.  Keep up the great work for the Kingdom!”  Dennis asked if I could lead an occasional short prayer for one of the news items. I  called him to say that that was a great idea and I would take him up on the suggestion. 17 Worldview listeners gave $6,821 to fund our annual budget And finally, toward our midpoint goal of $61,750 to fund half of The Worldview newscast's annual budget by this past weekend, 17  listeners stepped up to the plate by 1:00pm Central on Saturday. We were only 3 donors short of our 20-donor goal. Our thanks to Augustine in Auburn, California who gave $25 as well as Elisabeth in Waterloo, Ontario, Canada and Karen in Waterford, Wisconsin --  both of whom gave $50, and Daniel in Mayflower, Arkansas who pledged $8 per month for 12 months for a gift of $96. We're grateful to God for Leasa in Simpsonville, South Carolina, George in Edinburgh, Indiana, and Woody in Sparks, Nevada – each of whom gave $100 as well as Laura in Millstadt, Illinois and Kerry and Rosana in San Antonio, Texas – both of whom gave $200. And we were touched by the generosity of Derrick in Evans, Georgia who gave $250, Justin and Oliver in Grover Beach, California who pledged $25/month for 12 months for a gift of $300, Eric in Warren, Minnesota who also pledged $25 per month for 12 months for a gift of $300, Matt, Amanda, Elijah, Malachi, and Samuel in Greencastle, Indiana who gave $450, Shy in Ingalls, Indiana who pledged $50 per month for 12 months for a total gift of $600, Aaron in Fort Bragg, North Carolina who gave $1,000, Katie in Hutchinson, Kansas who gave $1,000, and Scooter in Naples, Florida who will match those last two $1,000 donations with another $2,000 gift of his own. Those 17 Worldview listeners gave a total of $6,821. Ready for our new grand total? Drum roll please.  (Drum roll sound effect) $38,892.20 (People clapping and cheering sound effect)   That means we fell $22,857.80 short of our $61,750 mid-point goal to stay on the air and fund our 6-member Worldview newscast team for another fiscal year. Toward this Friday, June 20th's goal of $92,625, we need to raise $53,732.80. Remember, if you are one of the 4 final people who give a one-time gift of $1,000, Scooter in Naples, Florida will match you with a corresponding $1,000 gift.  Now, if that happens today, Monday, June 16th we will have raised an additional $8,000. In order to raise the remaining amount, I need to find 38 Worldview listeners who will pledge $50/month for 12 months for a gift of $600.

(Jun 16, 2025)

This week on the podcast, Lisa Margulies from Planned Parenthood Maine Action Fund joins Cate to break down the serious threats in Pres. Donald Trump’s federal budget reconciliation bill. The proposal would block Planned Parenthood from participating in Medicaid (MaineCare), cutting off care for more than 1.1 million people. This could mean closing nearly 200… The post Podcast: How the federal budget threatens reproductive healthcare and Mainers first appeared on Maine Beacon.

In this newscast: The massive budget reconciliation bill the U.S. House delivered to the Senate would block Medicaid patients from receiving care at Planned Parenthood health centers, and health care providers and advocates in Alaska are afraid that would prevent many Alaskans from getting critical health care; The Juneau School District is cracking down on cell phone use in schools; A group of state lawmakers is set to meet this summer and fall to continue working on ways to improve Alaska's public schools; Researchers say it's clear that wolves in parts of Southeast Alaska are increasingly turning to the sea, instead of the land, for food, but now there's evidence that the behavior can have toxic results; Ketchikan's tribal government will soon be under new leadership 

The U.S. Supreme Court is expected to release a flurry of decisions as the 2024-25 term comes to an end this month. A number of the cases reflect the societal battles playing out across the country and affect millions of Americans. The court will be weighing in on whether gender-affirming health care for children under 18 is protected by the equal protection clause of the Constitution or if states are free to ban care for youth diagnosed with gender dysphoria. Read more: Supreme Court case could impact transgender health care in the Midwest Birthright citizenship, which the court in the past has said is guaranteed under the 14th amendment, is back in front of the court. It's part of a wider case about the legality of national injunctions after 22 states sued to block President Trump's executive order banning birthright citizenship. Another key decision revolves around states' ability to bar Medicaid funds from being used at Planned Parenthood and its affiliates. The case stems from an executive order signed by the governor of South Carolina. A Planned Parenthood patient sued, saying the order violated her right to choose medical care. Read more: Trump administration cuts Title X funding to Planned Parenthood The court will also issue decisions on cases involving racial gerrymandering, online age-verification and whether parents can opt their children out of school lessons that include LBGTQ+ topics.  On this week's Noon Edition, we'll discuss the possible impacts of these decisions and the role of the Supreme Court in today's political climate.  Join us on the air by calling 812-855-0811 or toll-free at 1-877-285-9348.

What happens when your money helps build the very culture you're trying to protect your soul—and your family—from? John Heinen sits down with Chris McMahon—Catholic entrepreneur, father of five, and founder of two financial firms, including Aquinas Wealth Advisors—to expose what's broken in modern investing and how faithful men can do better. With over 35 years of experience and appearances on Fox News and the Wall Street Journal, Chris has seen firsthand how mainstream portfolios often fund abortion providers like Planned Parenthood, adult entertainment empires, and false ideologies that corrupt the dignity of the human person. Instead of looking away, he built a firm that offers clarity, conviction, and Catholic-aligned investment strategies. Alongside his wife Molly, Chris co-founded Mary's Place, a home for struggling mothers, and continues to serve the Sisters of Life and Sisters of Mary with bold generosity. His story is one of quiet defiance—against greed, cultural compromise, and moral indifference. This conversation challenges men not only to steward their wealth wisely but to do so with eternal impact in mind.

The One Big Beautiful Bill is a reconciliation bill which passed the House and has moved on to the Senate. Included in this bill are provisions that would defund Planned Parenthood, threaten health insurance access, undermine access to abortion and gender-affirming-care nationwide, and raise costs on working families. Ianthe Metzger, Senior Director, Advocacy Communications at Planned Parenthood, sits down to talk with us about this insidious bill and how it, among other things, threatens the care Planned Parenthood provides.Defunding Planned Parenthood, which refers to cutting the provider out of the Medicaid program, would threaten access to cancer screenings, STI testing and treatment, prescription services, abortion care, and more across the country. In fact, a new analysis shows that, if the bill passes, nearly 200 health centers across the country would have to close, and 1.1 million people who depend on Planned Parenthood for a spectrum of care would be forced to look elsewhere.For more information, check out Boom!

On the radio show this week, we dive into the attacks on Planned Parenthood and how the Republican budget could close 200 health centers and impact over a million people's access to reproductive health care. We hear about the unprecedented emergency happening right now to our democracy and how the SAVE Act could disenfranchise 69 million women voters and threaten fundamental voting rights. We cover the expanding wage gap for moms and the economic implications, and how Republican budget cuts could further harm economic opportunities for women and families. We discuss the devastating cuts to Medicaid, Medicare, and more in the Big, Bad Betrayal Bill, exposing how the Republican budget could eliminate health care for 16 million Americans and potentially cause 51,000 deaths annually.   SPECIAL GUESTS: Alexis McGill Johnson, Planned Parenthood Action Fund, @PPFA, @ppfa.org; Celina Stewart, League of Women Voters, @LWV, @lwvus.bsky.social‬; Jocelyn Samuels, Former EEOC Commissioner, @JSamuelsEEOC; Alex Lawson, Social Security Works, @SSWorks, ‪@socialsecurityworks.org

In recent years, a trip into Target on June 1 was the only reminder needed that the month is dedicated to celebrating “gay pride,” but not so this year.     Instead of a prominent display of chest binders and bathing suits designed for “tucking” private parts, as seen at Target in the summer of 2023, the major U.S. retailer is celebrating “Costal Classics” with red, white, and blue themed clothing this summer.     The shift comes just months after Target announced it was ending some of its DEI initiatives and follows several years of declining revenues for the retailer.     While Target appears to have gotten the memo that Americas want a more traditional and less woke agenda, Hollywood will always be the last to learn.     The popular HBO show “The Last of Us,” ended its first season with 8.2 million views in February 2023, according to The Hollywood Reporter. But the show's second season ended with half as many viewers. Why? It might have something to do with the show's denial of reality.     The show received criticism when one of the characters, who is a lesbian, learns that her partner is pregnant from a previous relationship and responds, “I'm going to be a dad.”     The season finale drew 3.7 million viewers, falling from 5.3 million when the show premiered in April.     On this week's edition of “Problematic Women” we discuss why these incidents and others point to a shift away from the radical woke ideology toward a desire for traditional values in America.     Also on today's show, we respond to the news for Biden administration press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre is leaving the Democrat Party. Plus, the fight to protect life is far from over, a reality made evident by Planned Parenthood's the latest abortion numbers. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

It's Friday and the weekend, starts here. Wisconsin Attorney General Josh Kaul had a victory for AmeriCorps, as well as the state against The Felon President.

A Missouri Supreme Court ruling last week has, for now, reinstated the state's ban on abortion. It's a familiar development for doctors and patients here in Missouri — and, for Planned Parenthood, part of a yearslong fight that has only grown more entrenched. The recently appointed chief medical officer of Planned Parenthood Great Rivers, Dr. Margaret Baum, shares her reaction to the Missouri Supreme Court decision and the closing of Planned Parenthood clinics nationwide. She also responds to claims by Missouri's Attorney General Andrew Bailey that Planned Parenthood uses “moldy equipment” and “unqualified medical practitioners.”

The end (of the Supreme Court term) is nigh. This week, Amicus goes into June Opinionpalooza mode with some meta-analysis of what to look out for as the Supreme Court delivers dozens of decisions over the next month or so. Dahlia Lithwick and Mark Joseph Stern say this is a term-ending unlike any other, partly because the number of cases pinging onto the high court's shadow docket means the term may never really, truly, actually, end. And even when the shadow docket cases are decided, there is no real law that emerges, just a few lines of unsigned chicken scratch. Beyond the big merits cases concerning everything from birthright citizenship to healthcare for trans minors to racial gerrymandering to defunding Planned Parenthood, and beyond the brief, unbriefed, unargued emergency docket cases, the Supreme Court's conservatives are in a power struggle with the very president they crowned quasi-king.  In a conversation recorded live on Friday at the WBUR Festival in Boston, Mark is joined by Professor Jed Shugerman of Boston University Law School, where they discuss the bad originalism and poor judgment that led to the Roberts' court's embrace of a little something called unitary executive theory that has become the Trump administration's carte blanche.  Want more Amicus?

Planned Parenthood is shutting down 8 more facilities in Minnesota and Iowa — bringing the total to 21 closures this year.    But that's not the end of the story.   The House passed President Trump's “Big Beautiful” Budget Bill to defund Planned Parenthood & the Abortion Industry — and now it's up to the Senate to keep it moving forward. I break down what needs to happen next and why it's make-or-break time for the pro-life movement.   Plus: the dangerous rise of anti-natalism after the IVF clinic bombing, and why Trump's push to expand IVF is wrong for women, families, and preborn babies.   Here is my episode that dives deeper into the issue with IVF: https://youtu.be/6EhgmwSOCOQ

The tax and spending bill passed by House Republicans last week is the sort of bill that does so many different things that even budget experts could be forgiven for not realizing just how many different parts of the economy it will change. In the realm of workers' comp, the bill would eliminate taxes on overtime pay and tips. In terms of families, it would create new $1,000 savings accounts for children and give parents an extra $500 per year per child, in the form of an expanded child tax credit. In the realm of health and the culture wars, it would ban the use of Medicaid funds for gender-affirming care and cut funding for Planned Parenthood. In the realm of climate, it would claw back half a trillion dollars of investments in wind, solar, geothermal, batteries, nuclear power, clean hydrogen, and electric vehicle purchases. In the realm of defense, it would increase spending by over $100 billion on shipbuilding, air and missile defense, immigration enforcement, and border security. But judging strictly by the sheer dollar amount of the provision, this bill is really about three big things. Number one, it extends a multitrillion-dollar tax cut on corporate and individual income. Number two, it reduces federal spending on two major government programs by a combined $1 trillion: Medicaid, the government health-care program for those with low income, and SNAP, or federal spending on food stamps. And number three, because of the mismatch I just told you about, between the tax cuts and the spending cuts, it will increase the national debt by several trillion dollars over the next 10 years. Today, we have two guests. First, the University of Chicago economist Eric Zwick joins to talk about the corporate tax cut. And second, to understand how to think about the debt picture, I talk to Maya MacGuineas, president of the Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget.If you have questions, observations, or ideas for future episodes, email us at PlainEnglish@Spotify.com.

Tonight on The Last Word: Donald Trump condemns Vladimir Putin after Russia strikes Ukraine. Also, Trump attacks judges in a Memorial Day post. Plus, Trump escalates his fight with Harvard University. The Trump trade war undercuts American battery makers. House Republicans pass a bill that would cut Medicaid funds from Planned Parenthood. And Trump delays 50% tariffs on EU goods until July 9. Amb. Michael McFaul, Rep. Zoe Lofgren, Norm Ornstein, Laurence Tribe, Michigan State Rep. Joe Tate, Rep. Adam Smith, Carrie Baker, and Betsey Stevenson join Lawrence O'Donnell.

On his tour of the Middle East, Trump lavishes praise on dictators—as they deposit bribes in his pocket. Republicans, in between defending Trump's jet grift, finalize more details of their "big beautiful bill," which, in addition to gutting Medicaid, now aims to cut food assistance, funding for Planned Parenthood, and Biden's clean energy tax credits. The Supreme Court hears arguments on two important, intertwined questions: whether Trump's executive order to end birthright citizenship is constitutional (it's not), and whether federal judges below the Supreme Court can issue nationwide injunctions. Jon and Dan react to the Solicitor General's clueless argument before the justices and new polling on Trump's "inoculation" against corruption attacks, and offer Democrats some advice on how to talk about the GOP's tax cuts. Then Jon sits down with long-time friend of the pod Beto O'Rourke to talk about Donald Trump, Joe Biden, and Beto's future in the Lone Star State. For a closed-captioned version of this episode, click here.
