Planned Parenthood pushes its way into the budget
When Rep. Tom Cole (R-OK) started writing critical drafts of the federal budget bill, our pro-life champions started sounding the alarm. Some Republicans have completely given up the fight to fully defund Big Abortion.
Then Sen. Josh Hawley (R-MO) stepped up with an amendment to extend the ban on taxpayer funding for Planned Parenthood and similar abortion providers ... but that pro-life provision was also defeated.
Planned Parenthood and Big Abortion are exerting enormous pressure on members of Congress. Their survival depends on our tax dollars pouring in.
In closed meetings, Republicans are drafting a federal budget that will decide whether your tax dollars will continue to flow into the hands of Planned Parenthood and other abortion providers. This is an industry that thrives on killing children.
You have the power to turn the tide by making your voice heard immediately. Urge Congress to act now to make sure that no more money goes to Planned Parenthood and abortion providers.
Many of these same leaders campaigned on pro-life platforms, promising to protect the unborn and stop the flow of your money to organizations that perform hundreds of thousands of abortions each year.
Yet here we are, with some saying we should “wait for a later version.” But defunding this evil must be in every draft from the start. The window is closing fast.
We cannot stay silent while Planned Parenthood pressures members of Congress.
Liberty Counsel Action is on the front lines and we need your help.
This is your moment to make a difference. Your faxes will show a unified front and hold every elected official accountable to the values they claimed to champion. This is a moral imperative.
Send your faxes to Congress immediately — demand NO funding for Planned Parenthood and Big Abortion!
Congress needs to create a new budget plan. This is when the language is formed — where provisions are included or not.
If a ban on funding abortion is not written into this draft, it becomes exponentially harder to insert later — if even possible at all.
Defunding abortion must be in EVERY version of this bill.
And while some Republicans hesitate, the abortion industry is racing forward.
States like California are pouring massive funds into Planned Parenthood to keep their operations expanding and their lobby machine active.
This is a well-coordinated, well-funded machine.
And now they want the federal government, and you, to again be their biggest financial supporter. Send your urgent faxes and demand a COMPLETE ban on taxpayer funding for abortion.
