Senate
Majority Leader Mitch McConnell has said the U.S. Senate will vote next week on
a bill to completely defund Planned Parenthood Federation of America, following
four shocking videos showing the abortion provider actively engages in the
harvesting and selling of the body parts of aborted babies. See earlier alert here.
Sen.
Joni Ernst (R-IA) quickly garnered at least 32 co-sponsors for S.
1881: A bill to prohibit Federal funding of Planned Parenthood Federation of
America.
The
key language of the bill reads, "...no Federal funds may be made
available to Planned Parenthood Federation of America, or to any of its
affiliates, subsidiaries, successors, or clinics."
Now is
the best opportunity we've ever had to finally defund Planned Parenthood
the $540 million dollars they receive from taxpayers! The
bill will instead direct that money to organizations that provide for women's
health – but don't abort unborn children.
As
barbaric as Planned Parenthood's actions are, there are some senators who want
to continue funding it with YOUR tax dollars.
It
is critical that you contact your senators today and urge them as strongly as
possible to vote in favor of S. 1881, to protect women's health and defund
Planned Parenthood!
TAKE ACTION
CALL your senators now! A phone
call is the strongest, most effective action you can take. You can quickly and
easily find your
senator's phone number here. Simple enter your zip code under "Find
Officials."
At
the very least, send

for you to automatically send to both of them. You can also add a personal
message.
Urge
your senators to vote in favor of S. 1881, to protect women's health and defund
Planned Parenthood!
