URGENT ACTION NEEDED NOW TO STRIP PLANNED PARENTHOOD OF TITLE X FUNDING


Dear friend,

We have less than one week to strip Planned Parenthood of hundreds of millions of tax dollars!

Our team here in Washington D.C. will be pounding the pavement of Capitol Hill to spread this message over the next week, but we can do nothing without your help!

Please call your representative immediately and ask them to act swiftly to make sure the House Rules Committee does not kill an amendment that could save lives. The Pence Amendment deserves an up or down vote!

It's no secret that Planned Parenthood's deep pockets are padded by our tax dollars.

It's no secret that many of the funds freed by our tax dollars not only fund abortions, but are also used for highly offensive, immoral and dangerously misleading projects such as the Planned Parenthood-endorsed 
It's Perfectly Normal book as well as Planned Parenthood's Teen Talk and Take Care Down There web sites.

But it is a well-guarded secret that Planned Parenthood's agenda is 
putting our kids in danger from sexual predators on a daily basis, that Planned Parenthood has come under fire for fraudulent use of those very same tax funds, and that Planned Parenthood's racist mentality has deep roots that stretch all the way back to its founder, Margaret Sanger – a notorious racist and eugenicist.

Next week, Congressman Mike Pence of Indiana will propose an amendment to Title X funding under the 2010 Labor, Health and Human Services, and Education appropriations bill. His courageous amendment would strip PP of tens of millions of tax dollars.

That means less money for PP's sick sex-ed programs for 
children as young as kindergarten.

Less money for PP to peddle 
subpar condoms.

Less money for PP staffers who cover up 
statutory rape – a disturbing trend revealed by several recent undercover investigations.

The gravity of PP's crimes transcends party lines. Any American concerned about keeping our kids safe should support the Pence Amendment.

Last year, PP received over 349.6 million dollars in taxpayer funds.

Now it wants millions more of your tax dollars to support its contraception, abortion and sex education agenda.

Our nation cannot afford to continue funding an organization that systematically destroys the lives of countless men, women and children around the country.

Please call the congressional switchboard NOW at 202-224-3121, OR call your representative's office directly. Tell them that the Pence Amendment to strip Planned Parenthood of Title X funding deserves an up-or-down vote! The ethic of democracy in our country demands that the House Rules Committee allow a vote on this critical, lifesaving amendment.


Sincerely yours in the Lord Who IS Life!
