John,
Here is your weekly recap of Live Action News headlines, including a look back at Pope Francis’ legacy of speaking up for the sanctity of human life, a report on the major data breach at a Planned Parenthood-affiliated lab, and much more.
Pope Francis, who advocated for the protection of all human beings, has died at 88
Pope Francis, the first pope from the Americas, has passed away following a months-long battle with bronchitis and pneumonia this year. The Vatican announced his passing just one day after he toured St. Peter’s Square for the first time since his illness and delivered the Easter Urbi et Orbi blessing (to the city and the world).

Planned Parenthood laboratory hack exposes data of 1.6 million people
A Planned Parenthood lab based in Seattle, Washington, which provides testing services to Planned Parenthood in dozens of states, “suffered a data breach exposing records of 1.6 million people,” ConsumerAffairs.com reported on April 11. The data breach, eventually reported by the lab, Laboratory Services Cooperative (LSC), was “one of the most significant healthcare data breaches in 2025 yet” according to Ensar Seker, chief information security officer at cybersecurity company SOCRadar.
“What makes this breach especially damaging is the breadth of data exposed,” Seker said. “This creates a perfect storm for identity theft, medical fraud, and social engineering attacks.”
