					<description><![CDATA[<p><em>Written by David E. Smith</em></p>
<p><em>The New York Times</em> recently published a revealing article, titled “<a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2025/02/15/us/planned-parenthood-clinics.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Botched Care and Tired Staff: Planned Parenthood in Crisis</a>.” In her article, a<a>uthor <strong>Katie Benner </strong></a>details a litany of alarming problems at Planned Parenthood clinics across the U.S. The report asserts that many clinics face a high level of staff turnover that is fueled by substandard pay and poor working conditions.</p>
<p>Drawing from clinic documents, legal filings, and interviews with over 50 current and former executives, consultants, and medical staff, the article highlights a pattern of financial strain, understaffing, and inadequate training that has compromised patient care.&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2025/02/botched-care-at-planned-parenthood/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

<p>There have been a lot of laughs at <strong>President Joseph R. Biden’s</strong> expense since his disastrous debate with former <strong>President Trump</strong> on Thursday, June 28.</p>
<p>Democrats have been in a state of panic since then.</p>
<p><em>USA Today</em> on June 30 <a href="https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/elections/2024/06/30/poll-biden-mental-age-debate/74262195007/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported</a> the shocking results of a CBS/You Gov National Survey in which 72% of voters –  as well as nearly half of his party – said they do not believe Biden has the mental or cognitive capacity to serve as president.&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2024/07/this-political-moment-is-no-laughing-matter/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[<p><em>Written by William Sullivan</em></p>
<p>In the scope of modern history, population control as a means to reduce scarcity of resources is anything but a new idea, despite what socialists like <strong>Bernie Sanders</strong> would have you believe.</p>
<p>Bernie Sanders <a href="https://panampost.com/mamela-fiallo/2019/09/11/bernie-sanders-abortions/?cn-reloaded=1">recently proposed</a> that America should finance abortions in developing countries in order to save the planet from the coming scarcity of global resources that will occur as a result of overpopulation and “climate change.”  Another way for this to be understood, as it certainly would have been had a Republican uttered this policy prescription, is that the best way to save the planet is to keep poor people from being born, because they might sap vital resources that could be better used by the rest of us.&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2019/09/the-overpopulation-myth-is-easily-disproven/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>
