House Bill 2405 – the Whole Woman’s Health Funding Priorities Act

As per the Pennsylvania Catholic Conference,

• "Legislation to prohibit Planned Parenthood and other abortion-on-demand providers from receiving taxpayer funding was introduced yesterday as House Bill 2405 – the Whole Woman’s Health Funding Priorities Act.
  
  "'Across the United States, Planned Parenthood performs an abortion every 95 seconds on 91 percent of all the pregnant mothers that walk through their doors,' said Representative Daryl Metcalfe (R-Butler), prime sponsor of the bill. 'For every one adoption referral made by America’s largest abortion-on-demand provider, 391 babies are aborted. Each year, Planned Parenthood aborts more than 320,000 innocent lives and over 16,000 of those abortions occur in Pennsylvania.'"

As explained by CatholicOnline,

• "The bill was co-authored by the Susan B. Anthony List and the Alliance Defense Fund....[and] is similar to one that recently passed in Arizona."

As noted in Pennsylvania Family Council Fact Sheet,

• "Money is fungible, and taxpayer funds should not go to entities that perform elective abortions."

The Susan B. Anthony List urges you to

• "Tell your Pennsylvania State Representatives, Senator, and Gov. Corbett to support the Whole Woman’s Health Funding Priority Act."
