Tax Day Facts and Pro-Life Action

Posted on by

 

In case you need another reminder, today is Tax Day.

Are you fed-up with your hard-earned tax dollars being used to subsidize abortion providers, like Planned Parenthood?

We are too, and we were incredibly disappointed that Congress failed to defund Planned Parenthood in its Omnibus Spending bill last month. (You can still send a message of disappointment to your lawmakers HERE.)

But that doesn’t mean we’re giving up our efforts to end taxpayer funding of abortion.

Title X is a major source of federal funding for Planned Parenthood, and we are joining with pro-life Members of Congress who are urging the Department of Health and Human Services to ban organizations that refer for abortion from Title X funding.

This move by HHS could block a major source of government dollars to Planned Parenthood.

Take action today and urge HHS Secretary Alex Azar to restrict Title X funding from organizations that refer for abortions, like Planned Parenthood.

If you need any additional background on Planned Parenthood:

  • Planned Parenthood is currently under investigation by the Department of Justice for the trafficking of fetal tissue.
  • In 2016, the last year data is available, Planned Parenthood committed 321,384 abortions and received over half a billion dollars in government funds.
  • Since 2006, under the helm of Cecile Richards, Planned Parenthood has received over 5.3 billion dollars in federal money and committed 3,547,123 abortions.

p.s. You can read more about Planned Parenthood’s radical abortion advocacy in Jeanne Mancini’s latest op-eds HERE.

Ending taxpayer funding of abortion is not only the right thing to do, it’s also supported by a large majority of Americans.

On this Tax Day, please add your voice to this important message to HHS Secretary Azar to take action to restrict federal tax dollars from flowing to organizations like Planned Parenthood.

Thank you for raising your voice and spreading the truth. Be sure to also check out this opportunity in your local communities to join the 3rd annual National Day of Prayer and Protest Against Planned Parenthood. The nationwide event will be held on Saturday, April 28. Click HERE for more information.
