ALL Pro-Life Today: Defund Planned Parenthood to Stop its Far-Reaching Tentacles

Thursday, March 31, 2011 COMMENTARY   Defund Planned Parenthood to Stop its Far-Reaching Tentacles     The House of Representatives recently voted to stop all government funding to Planned Parenthood and, though the Senate did not do the same, the fight is far from over.

Today's commentary provides the necessary tools for both locating and talking to your Congressmen about the reasons to defund Planned Parenthood.                     [ Read today's commentary here. ]                                                                                                                                                                  If you know of someone who could benefit from receiving Pro-Life Today, we ask that you please forward this message and ask them to subscribe.

Obama has said he does not want a federal budget that includes provisions to slash funding for several organizations that social conservatives, including many Republicans, oppose. Members of the Obama administration have also had low-profile meetings with abortion rights advocates, according to sources who have knowledge of the talks. And groups like Planned Parenthood that have been targeted by conservatives largely feel reassured by the positive signals the White House has thus far shown on protecting their funding.                                                 Santorum blames 'abortion culture' for Social Security shortfall EWTN News       "The reason Social Security is in big trouble is, we don't have enough workers to support the retirees," Santorum said in a March 29 interview on New Hampshire radio station WEZS. "A third of all the young people in America today are not in America today because of abortion - because one in three pregnancies ends in abortion ... "We are depopulating this country," said Santorum. "It's through a policy that does not support families, does not encourage families to have children, doesn't support them when they do have those children." He noted that U.S. population trends were moving toward those of Europe, where many government programs are facing even larger deficits.                               CELEBRATING OUR SUCCESSES, PREPARING FOR NEW CHALLENGES     Third International Symposium on Euthanasia and Assisted Suicide      June 3-4, 2011 Vancouver, Canada   Learn about the challenges and successes in Australia, UK, Canada and elsewhere.
