A pro-life group says that Planned Parenthood creates an abortion pipeline by embedding itself in sex education programs at schools across the country.  The American Life League is warning students to be vigilant across the country, pointing to a new analysis from the organization showing that Planned Parenthood resources are utilized by schools and teachers for sex education across the country.  “This often goes pretty undetected by people in the pro-life movement because I don’t think people see the connection between sex ed and abortion numbers,” American Life League National Director Katie Brown told The Daily Wire. “What Planned Parenthood does with their sex education is they are essentially creating their clientele base.” Planned Parenthood’s influence can be through teacher training offered by the abortion giant or through sex-ed presentations with school districts.  For example, Planned Parenthood of Los Angeles has “educators” who teach sex education classes “with several key schools across Los Angeles.” Topics for these classes include “diverse orientations and identities,” and “cultural norms about sexual behaviors.” According to its annual report for 2022-2023, Planned Parenthood said that it had trained 2,752 high school students in sex ed. Planned Parenthood of LA also offers to train teachers in topics like “sexual orientation,” “gender identity,” and “gender stereotypes.” “We want parents to be really hyperaware of what their teachers are teaching in the classroom because the way Planned Parenthood has it set up is that a teacher can just go online” for training, Brown said.  Another affiliate of the abortion giant, Planned Parenthood of the Pacific Southwest, created a program called “Sex Ed To-Go” for students to watch online. The far-Left curriculum attacks crisis pregnancy programs and suggests that people besides women can get pregnant.  In one of the training modules, called “Barriers To Abortion Care,” the instructor says that pro-life protections were “closely tied to racism and patriarchy.” It says pro-life laws were pushed by “male doctors,” though exceptions were made for “wealthy white women.”  The course also teaches kids how they can potentially bypass their parents’ consent when trying to get an abortion.  “Sometimes, the consent of a doctor, grandparent, or mental health professional can substitute for a parent’s consent,” the course says. “In some states, young people can use what’s called judicial bypass – where a young person goes before a judge to explain why they shouldn’t need or can’t get parental consent.” Barriers include “missing school or work (and having to explain unexcused absences)” and “transportation barriers.” “When people live in rural communities or in states where abortion is not legal, transportation barriers are even trickier as the trip to the nearest abortion-providing facility might be several hundred miles away,” the curriculum says. “Some abortion funds offer transportation support: either financial support to cover transportation or a network of volunteers who will help people travel to their abortion appointments.” The course also says that “not all people who can become pregnant are women.” “People across the gender spectrum — transgender, nonbinary, agender, gender-queer, gender-fluid, and more — can and do have abortions,” the course says.  The course takes aim at pro-life crisis pregnancy centers, accusing them of using “misinformation to discourage pregnant people from seeking abortion care.” An included worksheet asks students to determine whether something is a crisis pregnancy center (CPC) or an abortion facility.  Finally, it points students to the rabidly pro-abortion groups Shout Your Abortion and Abortion Out Loud. Planned Parenthood of the Pacific Southwest did not respond to a request for comment on how many have used its sex education online resources. Am I Racist? Is In Theaters NOW — Get Your Tickets Here! Brown told The Daily Wire that the purpose of this program was to set the stage for kids to get abortions later on. “The main goal here with all of these sex-ed programs is trying to get these kids early on so that when they do need services down the road they are going to, of course, turn to Planned Parenthood,” she said.  Planned Parenthood also has ties to colleges across the country. Planned Parenthood of North, Central, and South New Jersey promoted a “Back to School with Planned Parenthood!” back in August.  “As the end of summer approaches, many of you will be heading back to school, and for some of you, off to college for the first time. It’s an exciting (and potentially overwhelming) time!” Planned Parenthood announced. “We’re always here for all your sexual and reproductive health needs. Whether you need a wellness exam, are interested in birth control, want some free condoms (seriously – NSA), or just have questions, we have locations all across New Jersey.” Brown said that it was wrong for schools to be working with Planned Parenthood and promoting their work. “Public schools are allowing the organization that killed almost 393,000 preborn children by abortion in 2023 unfettered access to thousands of elementary, middle, and high school students in their classrooms,” she said. 

Patricia Heaton promoted a symbolic way that Americans can show their support for their Jewish neighbors and friends ahead of the one year anniversary of the October 7 terrorist attack that killed 1,200 people. In a post on Monday on X, the 66-year-old actress and outspoken Israel supporter wrote about her campaign to stop anti-Semitism, called 07C.org [October7coalition.com]. It is described as a “network of Christians standing visibly and vocally against the rise of antisemitism in our country,” founded by Heaton. “As we head toward the one year anniversary of October 7th, I ask that you please join me in the #MyzuzahYourzuzah campaign to show solidarity with your Jewish friends and neighbors, fight antisemitism and bless your household,” Heaton’s post read, and she shared a video clip of herself as she affixed a Mezuzah on her front door, and encouraged others to do the same. She then listed four ways people can help.  As we head toward the one year anniversary of October 7th, I ask that you please join me in the #MyzuzahYourzuzah campaign to show solidarity with your Jewish friends and neighbors, fight antisemitism and bless your household. Here’s how you can participate: 1. Purchase a… pic.twitter.com/YLkseXU5nx — Patricia Heaton (@PatriciaHeaton) September 23, 2024 “Purchase a Mezuzah from https://myzuzah.org,” she added. “Capture a video of you affixing your Mezuzah and saying ‘Myzuzah, Yourzuzah.’” “Post your video to your social media profiles with a message of support and hashtag #MyzuzahYourzuzah,” Heaton continued. “Post anytime from now until October 7th. I’ll be liking and sharing videos throughout the campaign. Let’s show our Jewish friends we stand with them!  @TheOfficialO7C @myzuzahorg.” The “Everybody Loves Raymond” star then reacted to one person who asked, “Is it wrong to do this if I’m not Jewish? I stand with Israel?” “I’m not Jewish either David — it’s a #SpartacusMoment to stand in solidarity with our [Jewish] friends!” Heaton replied. Another person then asked, “Mine was already there, put up after a trip to Israel in June. Is this OK? #Myzuzah, Yourzuzah!” And the Hollywood star responded, “Thank you Jo! Solidarity on defense of freedom!” Heaton has been outspoken in her support for Israel following the Hamas terrorist attack on October 7, taking to social media numerous times blasting anti-Semitism and more. She recently called on others to join her — after an anti-Israel representative labeled anyone supporting Israel and Jewish people “the enemy.” In a post on X, the Hollywood actress reacted to a clip of Taher Herzallah, a rep for American Muslims for Palestine (AMP), saying, “Anybody who has a relationship with … or identifies themself as a Jewish person or as a Christian Zionist … they are enemy number one. And our community needs to recognize that as such.” “I guess I’m ‘enemy number one.’ Anyone care to join me?” Heaton wrote.

Hayden Panettiere lost her brother, Jansen, to complications from a heart defect in February 2024. The pair were close, and his sudden death was extremely hard on Hayden. She recently spoke with People about how her body reacted to the grief of losing Jansen with sudden weight gain. She also spoke of her road to recovery and taking time to heal. People shared a video of the interview that caused concern for many of Hayden’s fans. Some speculated the star may have relapsed on drugs, but took to Instagram to clear the air. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Hayden Panettiere (@haydenpanettiere) Hayden Panettiere Clapped Back Trolls After Her Interview Went Viral Hayden Panettiere shared a photo of herself looking well alongside a lengthy caption giving her side of the story. She addressed the controversy head-on, writing, “It’s unfathomable that I’m even in this position, but I feel forced to address it in a space where I won’t be criticized for how fast or slow I speak,” she wrote. Hayden explained that she was dealing with a crisis with one of her dogs and working on very little sleep. She asked if they could finish the interview later, but the interviewer reportedly told her not to worry. “She assured us that it wasn’t necessary and that she felt it was an emotional and heartfelt interview. We were also told they would edit it and that it would be a beautiful piece. The magazine does not grant approval for images or video interviews before they run.  We see the interview when it goes live,” she said. Hayden reassured her fans she was OK but cautioned them to allow her to grieve in a way that works for her. “Grief looks different on everyone. Whether or not I am on medication is none of anyone’s business and is between me and my doctor.  I am doing interviews to promote my new film because I am proud of it.  The real issue here is the toxicity of social media and a news cycle that is driven by clickbait.  Mental health is so important, and I hope those reading this now understand that what you say hiding behind a computer screen can have a detrimental impact on someone. For those of you who have come to my defense amidst this chaos, I am so grateful.   Like I’ve said before, I am a work in progress. We all are,” she wrote. Fans Shared Their Support With Hayden The comment section shared love for Hayden. “We were concerned because we care about you and didn’t want you to be exploited while you’re grieving. Glad you’re OK,” someone wrote. Many agreed, “Very important statement beautifully said! Cannot wait to support your new film we love you!!” Hopefully, Hayden will find peace, and the world will allow her to grieve as she needs to.  This story’s featured image is by Jon Kopaloff/Getty Images.
