Memo for the Movement

Oppose Any Bill Funding Planned Parenthood

September 29, 2015
Washington, DC
We oppose any bill that funds Planned Parenthood, the largest purveyor of abortions and seller of
unborn infant body parts produced by abortions.
The American culture respects human life. Though the radical left has been successful in
creating a permissive legal scheme for abortions in the United States, the sentiment of the
majority of the country is demonstrably pro-life. Moreover, Americans instinctively recognize
the value of life both physically and emotionally.
This fact about our culture explains the waves of outrage over the recent series of revealing
videos about Planned Parenthood. Planned Parenthood has now shown a systematic disregard for
the most innocent of humans: unborn babies. These videos display individuals and an
organization that has no problem harvesting and selling the organs of unborn babies for money.
Upon the release of the videos, Americans, disgusted and saddened, immediately recognized that
behavior as unethical and repugnant.
While the videos chronicle anecdotal evidence of Planned Parenthoods abhorrent behavior, the
facts about Planned Parenthood reveal an even more disturbing story. One third of the abortions
in this country are committed at Planned Parenthood. In the last year, 327,653 lives were lost at
the hands of Planned Parenthood, which is heavily subsidized by the taxpayers! This money
could be redirected to other more comprehensive health centers.
Planned Parenthoods most recent financial report shows that $528.4 million of its revenue in
2014 came from federal, state and local governments.
This is an intolerable reality that Congress is empowered to correct. Funding Planned
Parenthood is a conscience violation for every taxpayer. Therefore, we will oppose any bill
that funds Planned Parenthood.
