Merle Hoffman, founder and CEO of CHOICES Women’s Medical Center (CHOICES) in Jamaica, New York, testified under oath in court that the “act of abortion positions women at their most powerful” because abortion gives women “power — and the responsibility — of taking life” so that they may control their own lives.

This is evil. Let me explain exactly what this “power” does ...

At 10 weeks pregnant, Sarah* took the abortion pill. But her baby, whom she called “Bean,” didn’t die until after he was born.

First my water broke, then another push later [and the] baby came out quite quickly … I grabbed a glove and fished in the toilet and [the] baby was in there.

As soon as I pulled [the] baby out, [its] legs were moving and I could feel the heartbeat in my hand. [But the] [h]eartbeat slowly faded and [the baby] stopped moving.

Definitely the most traumatic thing either of us have been through.

Before Sarah took these abortion drugs, she had no idea what she was about to experience. No clue she would hold her child’s dying body in her hands.

However, the corporations that enable this kind of horror are being funded with our tax dollars. Unless we act, these tragedies will multiply — funded with hundreds of millions of dollars from you and me.

Sadly, third-trimester abortions are not rare. Over 4,000 are performed each year — even though most of these babies could survive outside the womb. Some are healthy, viable children killed for financial or emotional “comfort.”

Whether early or later term, abortions are more dangerous to the mother than birth. Yet abortion activists lie — and the government funds them.

In Hoffman’s memoir, Intimate Wars: The Life and Times of the Woman Who Brought Abortion from the Back Alley to the Boardroom, this person talking about abortion as “power” shares the experience of her own abortion:

The idea of abortion was a valve, an opening, a way to breathe. There was no question of whether I would have one. As we crossed the Fifty-Ninth Street Bridge, I held my stomach and said aloud, “Sorry little one, it’s just not time.” My diary entry from that night reads, “For one night I am a mother” (emphasis added).

Hoffman went on to acknowledge the power of “taking life” as “the foundation for all the political and personal work necessary to maintain women's reproductive freedom. ... The act of abortion positions women at their most powerful.”

We cannot remain silent.

We have an unprecedented opportunity to save lives and end taxpayer funding of abortion. We must speak up and push across the finish line.

Urge Congress with your faxes today to end taxpayer dollars for Planned Parenthood and all abortion clinics immediately.

Babies like Bean deserve to live. Women like Sarah deserve the truth. America deserves better than taxpayer-funded murder.
