Undercover investigation: Planned Parenthood prescribing hormones to minors with minimal oversight

Published

on


FIRST ON FOX: Undercover phone calls released today by pro-life activist group Live Action reveal that Planned Parenthood clinics across several states offer cross-sex hormonal treatments to minors as young as 16 with very little parental or medical supervision.

The group is now calling on Congress to defund Planned Parenthood of hundreds of millions of dollars in taxpayer funding.

Live Action conducted an undercover investigation in which a woman posing as a 16-year-old minor called dozens of Planned Parenthood locations seeking «gender-affirming care.» At least seven facilities told her they would prescribe cross-sex hormones at the first appointment.

In several instances, Planned Parenthood assured the caller that she could choose to meet with a provider virtually and have access to cross-sex hormones as quickly as the same day, despite the person posing as a minor saying they had just begun considering changing her sex. Facilities in Minnesota and Oregon stated they could schedule the minor within days or on the same day.

Five facilities stated that no prior therapy, mental health clearance or prior documentation was needed for her to obtain cross-sex hormones.

In addition to being the country’s largest abortion business, Planned Parenthood is also one of the leading distributors of sex-change drugs.

Cross-sex hormonal treatments, such as taking either testosterone or estrogen, are meant to alter the body to exhibit characteristics to conform with a person’s «gender identity.» Besides altering the natural makeup and functions of the body, cross-sex hormonal treatments can result in several harmful side effects, including permanent infertility.

Live Action President Lila Rose told Fox News Digital that the investigation exposes «a chilling reality» that «Planned Parenthood is fast-tracking vulnerable children into irreversible hormone treatments with almost no medical oversight.»

«These dangerous drugs can sterilize, stunt growth and leave lifelong scars. This is not healthcare. It is child abuse, and it must be stopped,» she said.

Live Action is calling on Congress to defund Planned Parenthood of all tax-dollar funding it receives from the federal government.

«Planned Parenthood receives more than $700 million in taxpayer dollars every year. That is a catastrophe, and it must end,» said Rose. «It’s time for Congress and the president to act and defund this abusive corporation of the $700 million they receive from taxpayers every year.»

This comes shortly after Fox News Digital reported that House Republicans are discussing measures that could potentially end federal funding of groups like Planned Parenthood as cost savings in their multitrillion-dollar bill advancing President Donald Trump‘s agenda.

Two sources close to the House Energy and Commerce Committee told Fox News Digital that the move was being floated as lawmakers look to find at least $1.5 trillion in spending cuts to offset the cost of Trump’s tax priorities.

House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., said last week that Republicans would target «big abortion» in the budget reconciliation process.

Planned Parenthood did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital’s request for comment.

Soros-backed DA sparks backlash after blaming Old Dominion shooting on pro-gun lawmakers: ‘F— right off’

Published

on


NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!

The George Soros-backed district attorney in Norfolk, Virginia, where Thursday’s mass shooting at Old Dominion University took place, doubled down on his viral comments, saying community members looking to place blame on the shooting should direct it towards pro-gun lawmakers and judges.

Commonwealth’s Attorney Ramin Fatehi was pressed by Fox News Digital to elaborate on his comments during the press conference earlier, prompting him to stand by his comments.

«I absolutely stand by what I said. It is the truth, no matter how much the gun lobby wants to deny it,» Fatehi said when asked if he stood by his comments despite Thursday’s mass shooter in Virginia having a public record of supporting Islamic terrorism. 

The shooter, a former National Guardsman and naturalized citizen from Sierra Leone, was previously sentenced in 2017 for attempting to provide material support to ISIS, but appears to have been released by the federal Bureau of Prisons in late 2024 during the Biden administration.

«No matter the ideology of an attacker, that attacker is more dangerous with a gun than without one,» Fatehi, whose top two donors include the Soros-subsidized Justice and Public Safety PAC and Democracy PAC, said. A Fox News Digital review found that the two Soros-funded PACs donated over $650,000 combined to his campaign coffers between 2021 and 2025.

A conservative group that tracks nonprofit spending, The Capital Research Center, reported that across a decade, between 2012 and 2022, Soros spent $40 million on the Justice and Public Safety PAC, which is known for supporting left-wing prosecutors. Democracy PAC, a super PAC created by Soros in 2019, was given nearly $30 million during the first three months of 2020, The Capital Research Center also reported.

Some of the better-known liberal prosecutors supported by these Soros-backed groups include recalled San Francisco district attorney, Chesa Boudin, Chicago district attorney, Kim Foxx, and Los Angeles district attorney, George Gascon, according to the Capital Research Center.  

On Thursday, Fatehi, who has served as the Commonwealth’s Attorney in Norfolk since 2022, walked up to the podium during a post-shooting press conference unprovoked before giving his remarks about who should be to blame – at least in part – for the shooting.

«I’m constrained in what I can say about the facts of the case, but I can speak a little more freely about the bigger questions,» Fatehi said after walking up to the podium.

«These men work every day to make people safe,» he continued, referring to law enforcement officials. «People are as safe on the ODU campus as anywhere, arguably safer than in other parts of Norfolk. But this is not an ODU problem. This is a national sickness. We live in a country where people care more about guns than they care about 6-year-old children. They care more about guns than they care about synagogue worshipers. And they care more about guns than they do about college students.»

The left-wing prosecutor went on to say that it doesn’t matter «how hard» law enforcement or the university works to ensure tragic incidents like what happened Thursday, are not repeated, adding that «somebody will be a victim eventually.» 

These remarks sparked backlash on social media, with several conservatives attacking him and bringing up the criminal history of the shooter.

«I really try not to cuss here, but Fatehi can f— right off with this statement,» BearingArms editor Cam Edwards posted on X.

«Given this lunatic is the DA, there’s like a 90% chance he’s going to charge the hero who stabbed the Islamist to death to stop the attack,» RedState writer Bonchie wrote on X.

«You see, ISIS terrorists wouldn’t be terrorists if it weren’t for Republican gun culture or something,» Bonchie said in another X post. «Mind-numbing.»

«I generally stop short of telling bad faith morons to go to hell because eternal damnation isn’t a trifling matter, but this level of intentional and malicious imbecility is testing my resolve,» Amy Swearer, a senior legal fellow at Advancing American Freedom, wrote on X.

«Until there is the political will to break the spell of the cult of gun absolutism, you will see more incidents like this. So, if you are looking for somebody to blame, don’t look at anybody up here, look at our lawmakers who don’t have the courage to implement sensible gun control measures, look to a Supreme Court that enables them, and do something about it,» Fatehi continued. 

«That is the lesson – let’s mourn the people who’ve died, let’s decry what has happened, but let’s keep the focus where it belongs. It belongs on us, and having to change something so that we don’t have to suffer through this.»

Multiple federal sources confirmed to Fox News that the suspected shooter at ODU, in Norfolk, was Mohamed Jalloh. The shooting occurred shortly before 10:49 a.m., the university said in an emergency alert. The gunman was later pronounced dead when responding officers arrived following a shooting near ROTC cadets, Police Chief Garrett Shelton told reporters during a news conference. 

Reporting from the New York Post indicated that Jalloh was targeting ROTC members on campus, before one eventually stepped in to stop the madness, stabbing and killing the suspect.

Later in the day Thursday, ODU Police Chief Garrett Shelton indicated one victim died from the shooting, along with the gunman, while two others were injured. FBI Director Kash Patel also indicated Thursday that federal authorities were investigating the matter as an act of terrorism.

Kast ordenó construir “barreras físicas” en la frontera con Bolivia para frenar la inmigración ilegal

Published

on


El presidente de Chile, José Antonio Kast, ordenó este miércoles la construcción de “barreras físicas” en la frontera con Bolivia como parte de sus primeras medidas de gobierno.

El anuncio fue realizado durante un acto oficial tras asumir la presidencia, en el que el mandatario instruyó al Ejército a colaborar para detener el ingreso de migrantes sin documentación, principalmente venezolanos.

La medida migratoria que impulsó Kast en su primer día de gobierno

Durante la ceremonia en la que firmó sus primeros seis decretos, tres vinculados a la migración irregular, Kast le pidió al jefe del Ejército, Pedro Varela, reforzar los controles en la frontera.

“Le solicito la colaboración activa en el aumento de funcionarios y le encomiendo también que nos colabore con la construcción de barreras físicas para detener el ingreso de la inmigración ilegal en la frontera con Bolivia”, señaló el mandatario.

La decisión se enmarca en una de las principales promesas de campaña del líder conservador: endurecer la política migratoria y combatir el ingreso irregular al país.

Según datos oficiales citados por el propio gobierno, alrededor de 337.000 extranjeros viven en Chile sin la documentación requerida, y una gran parte ingresó por pasos fronterizos en el norte del país.

El plan de Kast para deportar migrantes y auditar al gobierno anterior

Para llegar al poder, Kast prometió enfrentar con dureza la criminalidad y deportar a unos 340.000 migrantes irregulares, en su mayoría provenientes de Venezuela.

Durante la campaña electoral, el dirigente cuestionó con dureza la gestión del expresidente Gabriel Boric. “Este gobierno generó caos, desorden e inseguridad. Y nosotros vamos a ir a la inversa”, afirmó.

Ya como presidente, anunció además que ordenará una auditoría en todos los ministerios para evaluar la situación en la que recibió la administración pública. “Nos entregan un país en peores condiciones de las que podíamos imaginar”, sostuvo.

Kast también aseguró que, como gesto de austeridad, vivirá con su esposa en el Palacio de La Moneda, a diferencia de algunos de sus antecesores que optaban por residencias privadas financiadas por el Estado

El primer presidente “pinochetista” de Chile

Kast, de profesión abogado, es también el primer mandatario en democracia en respaldar la dictadura de Augusto Pinochet (1973-1990), ya que el único conservador que había gobernado hasta ahora era Sebastián Piñera (2010-2014 y 2018-2022), que votó en contra de la continuidad del régimen en el plebiscito de 1989.

Además de Milei, acudieron el rey español Felipe VI y los presidentes de Ecuador, Daniel Noboa; Bolivia, Rodrigo Paz; Panamá, José Raúl Mulino; Honduras, Nasry Asfura; Costa Rica, Rodrigo Chaves; Paraguay, Santiago Peña; y Uruguay, Yamandú Orsi.

La sorpresa la dio el mandatario brasileño, Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, quien suspendió su participación a última hora por problemas de agenda. Según la prensa brasileña la cancelación obedeció a la presencia de Flávio Bolsonaro en la ceremonia, considerado su principal rival en las elecciones de octubre e hijo del expresidente Jair Bolsonaro, condenado a 27 años de prisión por intento de golpe de Estado.

También asistió la líder de la oposición venezolana y Premio Nobel de la Paz, María Corina Machado.

Horas antes, en la residencia oficial de Cerro Castillo, en la vecina Viña del Mar, Kast se hizo una foto oficial con su gabinete, integrado por 24 ministros, en su mayoría sin experiencia política, vinculados al sector privado y a la academia.

Sus ministros fuertes serán el economista ultraliberal Jorge Quiroz (Hacienda), la exfiscal Trinidad Steinert (Seguridad Pública) y el exparlamentario Claudio Alvarado (Interior).

Venezuela firmó un acuerdo con Repsol para impulsar la producción de gas y asegurar el abastecimiento interno

Published

Repsol estuvo representada por Gonzalo Antonio Carrillo Recalde y Francisco Gea Pascual de Riquelme, director general de Exploración y Producción

Venezuela y la empresa española Repsol, junto con la italiana Eni, suscribieron este jueves un acuerdo que garantiza el suministro de gas en el país caribeño, además de abrir la puerta a la exportación y a la expansión de proyectos conjuntos en el área energética.

La jefa del régimen chavista, Delcy Rodríguez, destacó la continuidad de ambas compañías en el país durante periodos de inestabilidad y agradeció el compromiso mostrado al mantener sus operaciones en territorio venezolano.

Me complace mucho que sea de la mano de dos empresas europeas que se quedaron en Venezuela, que creyeron en Venezuela y que no le dieron la espalda a nuestro pueblo”, expresó Rodríguez.

La firma se centró en el desarrollo conjunto del campo Cardón IV, uno de los mayores yacimientos de gas natural en América Latina, con una producción actual de 580 millones de pies cúbicos diarios, según datos proporcionados por la multinacional española.

El acuerdo también incorpora la gestión de la infraestructura existente y la posibilidad de incrementar la capacidad exportadora, tanto para abastecer el mercado local como para generar ingresos a través de ventas al exterior.

Por parte del régimen venezolano participaron la nueva ministra de Hidrocarburos, Paula Henao, y el presidente de PDVSA, Héctor Obregón.

Repsol estuvo representada por Gonzalo Antonio Carrillo Recalde y Francisco Gea Pascual de Riquelme, director general de Exploración y Producción.

El texto del convenio señala que Repsol “apuesta por ampliar sus inversiones y expandir sus fuerzas productivas con PDVSA en el plan estratégico 2026-2028”. Desde la petrolera española se confirmó la intención de restablecer y reforzar las operaciones diarias tras la obtención de licencias, además de invertir en la modernización de instalaciones y en la reactivación de equipos de producción.

Delcy Rodríguez subrayó que el acuerdo busca “garantizar el abastecimiento de gas” para el desarrollo nacional y el consumo doméstico, y que además permitirá retomar y ampliar las exportaciones.

El pacto se produce en un contexto de recuperación progresiva del sector energético venezolano, tras años de sanciones internacionales y restricciones operativas. En febrero, Repsol ya había anunciado su intención de reanudar operaciones, con el objetivo de sumar capacidad al sistema eléctrico nacional y aumentar la producción de gas.

En el ámbito petrolero, la empresa española comunicó su plan para triplicar la producción de crudo en Venezuela y alcanzar aproximadamente 135.000 barriles diarios.

La cúpula chavista ha intentado incentivar la llegada de inversión extranjera, como la reforma de la Ley de Hidrocarburos aprobada en enero por el Parlamento, que busca crear condiciones más favorables para los socios internacionales.

El acuerdo con Repsol y Eni se suma a una estrategia que apunta a convertir a Venezuela en una potencia exportadora de energía, tanto en petróleo como en gas, integrando a empresas internacionales en el desarrollo de proyectos clave.

En el escenario internacional, Venezuela cuenta con una de las mayores reservas de hidrocarburos del mundo, pero enfrenta desafíos relacionados con el deterioro de su infraestructura.

El acuerdo firmado este jueves es presentado por el chavismo como una muestra de la voluntad de consolidar alianzas estratégicas y avanzar hacia una mayor presencia en los mercados globales.

La ministra Paula Henao remarcó tras la firma que la meta es “posicionar a Venezuela como actor relevante en el suministro de gas en América Latina y el Caribe”.
