Action
Alert: Tell Congress to De-Fund Planned Parenthood
Dear LifeNews.com Readers,
This week, several leading pro-life
organizations are calling on Congress to keep pressing forward with efforts
to de-fund the $1 billion-dollar
Planned Parenthood abortion business, which receives $363
million from federal, state and local government.
LifeNews.com is proud to join forces
with dozens of pro-life groups for this weekly promotional and we're delighted
to work with our friends at the Susan B Anthony List to sponsor this action
alert urging your calls on Monday. Please read the following message and take
action on Monday by flooding Congress with calls!
As you know, the House of Representatives
voted for the Pence
Amendment in a bill providing long-term funding for the federal government.
However, Senate
Democrats rejected the legislation and Senate Democratic Leader Harry Reid
indicated he would reject any House Republican funding bill that yanks Planned
Parenthood funding -- saying not only no, but "hell
no."
This week, pro-life groups are looking
to you to make the difference. We need to encourage the pro-life advocates in
the House who have already voted for the Pence Amendment by thanking them and
telling them to press forward and insist that Senate Democrats accept a funding
bill that de-funds Planned Parenthood. We also need you to contact members of
the Senate and insist that they support a bill that removes Federal funding
from Planned Parenthood.
With statistics showing Planned
Parenthood is the biggest abortion business in the nation and that it provides
only abortion to almost every pregnant woman who walks in its door, and with
videos showing it looking the other way as helpless sexually-trafficked
young girls are subjected to abortions after being victimized -- there's no
reason to continue funding this organization.
The buzz on Capitol Hill is that
pro-life lawmakers are growing tired of short-term Continuing Resolution bills
and are ready to dig in and fight hard for a long-term Continuing Resolution
bill that completely defunds Planned Parenthood – which means the next
three weeks are the most critical yet in this fight. This week is an especially
good week to contact members of Congress who are in their districts as the House
will be on Recess. From talking with Congressional members, we know that one
call into a district office of a member of the House or Senate can be enough
to raise concern and is weighted higher than a call into their Washington, D.C.
offices.
Here's what we need you to do:
1. Locate the number and call
the district offices of your House and Senate members and urge them to support
de-funding Planned Parenthood in the a long-term continuing resolution (budget)
bill. You can find district office information at the main House.gov
or Senate.gov web site linking to your elected
officials or by going to ExposePlannedParenthood.com.
2. Pass this action alert on to
every pro-life person you know and urge them to join you this week in calling
their elected officials.

de-funding Planned Parenthood. Together we can do it!
For Their
Lives,
Steven Ertelt
