Students for Life of America has collected over 200,000 baby socks for its #SockIt2PP campaign. Each sock represents one of the many lives taken by Planned Parenthood each year. The incredible display, which SFLA brought to Washington, D.C. in April, turns heads. Says SFLA president Kristan Hawkins: There are few presentations I’ve seen as effective […]
Building on the excellent momentum generated by Wednesday’s #SockIt2PP demonstration on Capital Hill, pro-life advocates across the nation are rallying this weekend to demand an end to taxpayer subsidies for the country’s largest abortion chain, Planned Parenthood. Every year, Planned Parenthood gobbles up half a billion dollars in government funding. We want every penny redirected […]
A few weeks ago, Students for Life of America (SFLA) launched its #SockIt2PP campaign. Their goal is to collect 323,999 baby socks—in memory of the 323,999 preborn babies killed by abortions at Planned Parenthood last year—and deliver them to Congress, calling for defunding of the nation’s largest abortion chain. SFLA is asking supporters to purchase […]
The AHCA, which included a Planned Parenthood defunding provision, tanked. Last week, a Planned Parenthood defunding measure passed the Senate and awaits the President’s signature. Now, pro-life organizations are demanding another Planned Parenthood defunding vote. If you’re not intimately familiar with these battles, your understandable reaction must be what on earth is going on?? Today’s […]
Yesterday, the House of Representatives took the first step to dismantle a recently issued Dept. of Health & Human Services rule that prohibits states from prioritizing their own local health departments and other health care providers for funding. It’s been aptly described as a “parting gift to Planned Parenthood” from the Obama administration. But the […]
Tomorrow, February 11, advocates across the United States will come together to demand an end to taxpayer funding of Planned Parenthood. The reasons are legion. Planned Parenthood has been caught lying to women about prenatal development. It has defrauded Medicaid in multiple states. It doesn’t take statutory rape and sex trafficking of minors seriously. It […]
The first #ProtestPP demonstrations took place at Planned Parenthood facilities across the U.S. in August of 2015, in direct response to the Center for Medical Progress videos. There was a second set of rallies last October, marking Planned Parenthood’s centennial. And now that Congress is on the verge of finally defunding the unethical abortion giant […]
Your president, Kelsey Hazzard, here. I’m in Washington, D.C. and staying with my friend Lauren Handy, sidewalk counselor extraordinaire. She’s a Christian, but takes a totally secular approach to sidewalk counseling. As she describes it, she’s doing crisis intervention—if you were rescuing people from a burning building, you wouldn’t pause to proselytize, so why on […]
Yesterday, Representative Paul Ryan announced that, as expected, the next federal budget will defund Planned Parenthood. Cue claims from major pro-choice organizations and your well-meaning facebook friends that funding for breast cancer screenings, birth control, STD testing, etc. is being cut and we must hate women. The truth is that the amount of money allocated […]
In some ways, nothing has changed. Regardless of who is in office, all pro-life people have an obligation to advocate for policies that will reduce abortion. Priorities will include confirming a pro-life replacement for Justice Scalia, and preserving the Hyde Amendment (which has saved the lives of over two million Americans) against attacks from the […]
