Speak Out to Defund Planned Parenthood!

Recently, the U.S. House of Representatives voted to defund Planned Parenthood. 

Now it’s the Senate’s turn to take this unique opportunity to finally cut off Planned Parenthood and other big abortion businesses from taxpayer dollars. Planned Parenthood is responsible for about 40% of abortions in the U.S. – over 400,000 per year – and yet receives $790 million per year in taxpayer funding. While the Trump Administration moved to withhold some of these funds, more remains. Please contact your U.S. senators today and let them know that taxpayer funding of the big abortion industry is unacceptable. Mothers and babies need real care from life-loving providers, not Planned Parenthood.

For more information, you may read a letter to Congress from Bishop Thomas, chairman of the USCCB's Committee on Pro-Life Activities, and Bishop Barron, chairman of the Committee on Laity, Marriage, Family Life & Youth, here, and a recent statement by them here.
