Here is a list of The Stream’s coverage of the Planned Parenthood scandal, divided into the news stories we’ve published and commentary by our editors and others. The news is divided into several categories for ease of use. The stories are listed in chronological order, from newest to oldest.

This list of our comprehensive coverage of the issue and extensive commentary should provide a resource for those dealing with the subject now and an historical resource for those in the future who want to know exactly what happened. It’s an important story for The Stream, because what Planned Parenthood and its partners have been doing is a direct and violent rejection of almost all we hold crucial to living rightly, as summarized in our Ten Principles, which begin with “Every human being has equal value and dignity.”

The list below doesn’t include the many links we’ve provided to other sites, also a rich source for information and insight. Readers interested in those should search the site using the search terms “planned parenthood” and “stemexpress.”
