Dear Friend,
I know we’ve asked quite a lot of you this past week by email, but it is because times on Capitol Hill are urgent when the lives of the unborn are at stake. Our goal is to make sure you have the information, timing, and talking points necessary to lobby your representative to uphold and defend the sanctity of life.
Because of your efforts, we have great news — Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) announced that he will not be able to bring the health care bill up for a vote on the floor of the Senate before the August recess!
This means we have more time to lobby our representatives to take the abortion mandate out of the bill!
We can’t thank you enough for your dedicated activism.
Furthermore, over 36,000 activists were informed and trained last night on our StopTheAbortionMandate.com Webcast featuring our president, Marjorie Dannenfelser, along with other national pro-life leaders.
Finally, and most importantly, please see the action alert below:
URGENT ACTION ALERT!
As early as this morning, the U.S. House of Representatives will vote on an important amendment offered by Rep. Mike Pence (R-IN) that would strip Planned Parenthood, the leading abortion provider in America, of its taxpayer funding.
Currently, Planned Parenthood receives over $350 million dollars of our hard-earned taxpayer money, despite scandal after scandal of covering up sexual abuse of minors.
Americans are overwhelmingly against their hard-earned tax dollars being transferred from Washington to the deep pockets of the billion-dollar abortion industry. Yet, many American taxpayers are unaware that their tax dollars are being spent to subsidize Planned Parenthood.
That’s where you come in, because you are informed. Don’t let Congress get away with funding the leading provider of abortions in America.
Here is what you need to do immediately:
1. Call the House switchboard at 202-225-3121
2. Ask the operator to connect you to your Representative’s office. If you do not know who your Representative is, please click here to enter your zip code to find your Representative.
3. Tell the staff member who answers the phone that you are a constituent. You want your Representative to vote YES on the Pence Amendment to De-Fund Planned Parenthood, because you do not want your tax dollars funding the largest abortion provider in America.
4. Please pass on this urgent action alert to as many like-minded friends and family as possible. You can use our “Tell A Friend” tool below.
Thank you for your commitment to protecting the unborn and their mothers from the exploitation and violence of Planned Parenthood.
For Life,
The Susan B. Anthony List Legislative Team
