Four States are Finally Rid of Planned Parenthood, by Melissa O’Rourke

By Melissa O'Rourke, LifeNews - Planned Parenthood officially shut down its last two clinics in Louisiana on Tuesday, leaving the state as the most populous in the country without any of the abortion provider’s locations... With the closures in Baton Rouge and New Orleans, Louisiana joins Wyoming, North Dakota, and Mississippi as the only states without any Planned Parenthood clinics. The shutdowns follow major federal funding cuts for abortion providers under the Republican-passed One Big Beautiful Bill Act.

Durbin Declines (Cardinal Cupich) Award After Global Backlash Over Pro-Abortion Views, by Daniel Payne

By Daniel Payne, Catholic News Agency - U.S. Sen. Dick Durbin, D-Illinois, will decline an award from the Archdiocese of Chicago after global backlash over his strong pro-abortion views that included comments from Pope Leo XIV and criticism from U.S. bishops... Chicago archbishop Cardinal Blase Cupich announced Durbin’s decision in a Sept. 30 statement, revealing that Durbin informed the prelate that he “decided not to receive [the] award” at the archdiocesan Keep Hope Alive celebration on Nov. 5. Durbin was scheduled to receive a “Lifetime Achievement Award for support to immigrants” at the event.

The Pope’s Statement on the Durbin Award: Wrong, and Irrelevant, by Phil Lawler

By Phil Lawler, Catholic Culture - In rolling out the shopworn “seamless garment” approach, the Pope suggested that some other unnamed politicians should not be classified as pro-life. American Catholics have been debating that issue for 40 years. But right now the issue is not the status of those other hypothetical politicians. The question is whether Durbin is pro-life. By the Pope’s own statement, he is not. “The Church teaching on each one of those issues is very clear.” Therefore Durbin should not be honored by a Catholic institution. Case closed.

Planned Parenthood Closes Down Its Louisiana Abortion Centers, by Steven Ertelt 

By Steven Ertelt, LifeNews - The Planned Parenthood abortion business will close two centers in Louisiana today – making it so the southern state is totally free of the nation’s biggest abortion business... Both Planned Parenthood facilities in Louisiana will close their doors effective today... Notably, the New Orleans facility was constructed with the stated goal of becoming a regional abortion center, intending to perform nearly 2,844 abortions per year. With Louisiana banning abortions and a new federal law defunding Planned Parenthood, babies across the state are protected and that goal was not achieved.
