Folks, please help us stop the taxpayer funding of Planned Parenthood (for those pro-Lifers on CF)...

Susan B. Anthony List Takes on President-Elect Obama's Abortion Industry Bailout Plan

WASHINGTON, Dec. 15 /Christian Newswire/ -- Today the president of the Susan B. Anthony List announced a nationwide grassroots campaign to fight the abortion industry bailout detailed in the recent report from over 50 abortion-rights organizations submitted to the Obama-Biden transition team last week:

"President-elect Barack Obama spoke of finding 'common ground' on abortion policy, but abortion advocacy groups clearly see an open door," said Susan B. Anthony List President Marjorie Dannenfelser. "After a decade of commonsense restrictions on taxpayer funding, the abortion industry thinks it deserves a bailout from President-Elect Obama. Today the Susan B. Anthony List launched its 'Stop the Abortion Bailout' campaign to mobilize thousands of activists across the country. Americans will send letters to their Senators with the goal of securing the 41 votes necessary to sustain a Senate filibuster of the abortion bailout. We look forward to delivering the votes Senator McConnell needs to ensure our hard-earned taxpayer dollars stay out of abortionists' coffers, especially since national abortion numbers are already on the decline."

Susan B. Anthony List activists can send letters to their Senators as part of the "Stop the Abortion Bailout" campaign at www.sba-list.org/abortionbailout. The goal of the campaign is to secure the 41 votes necessary to sustain a filibuster against measures promoting federal taxpayer funding of abortion. The Susan B. Anthony List will deliver letters to Senators and pass along the names of Americans opposing the abortion bailout to pro-life Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell.

Last week the Obama-Biden Transition Project posted a report compiled by over 50 abortion advocacy groups detailing extensive policy requests. The report, entitled "Advancing Reproductive Rights and Health in a New Administration," was posted on www.change.gov and calls for major policy reversals regarding abortion, including:
One billion dollars in taxpayer funds for international abortion groups like International Planned Parenthood Federation and Marie Stopes International (p.19)

133% increase in funding for the Title X program, which funds Planned Parenthood clinics nationwide (p. 6). Groups call for increasing funds from $300 to $700 million in federal taxpayer funds.

Repeal every budgetary rider restricting federal abortion funding, including the long-standing Hyde Amendment, which prohibits the use of federal taxpayer funds for abortion through the Medicaid and Medicare programs (p. 7).

Expand taxpayer funding for abortions through the Peace Corps program. (p. vii)

The President-Elect also recently appointed several abortion advocates to his staff, including EMILY's List Executive Director Ellen Moran as White House Communications Director and former NARAL Legal Director Dawn Johnsen to his Justice Department Review Team. Planned Parenthood President Cecile Richards was also named immediately after the election as part of an informal, trusted "kitchen cabinet" of advisors to the Obama transition team.

***The Susan B. Anthony List is a nationwide network of Americans, over 152,000 residing in all 50 states, dedicated to mobilizing, advancing, and representing pro-life women in politics. Its connected Candidate Fund increases the percentage of pro-life women in the political process.

Thanks Dixie for the info. I signed the petition and I'm on board. I hope the other pro-lifers at CF will do the same.

Rabid tree-huggers are among the only people on the face of the Earth who seem to think it's okay to outlaw the death penalty against convicted murderers because "killing is never the answer" while at the same time thinking that it's not only okay for them to kill the children that result from their promiscuity and irresponsibility, but that the American taxpayer should foot the bill.

These people are the same sort who carry a canvas shopping bag because it makes them some kind of environmentalist, but ask for a double-cup so that they don't make their palm uncomfortably hot when they spend $5 for a cup of coffee at Starbucks, before hopping into their 15 mpg sport utility vehicle -- on the way to some pro gay marriage rally.

Giovanni, I think alot of those people you posted about know they are hypocrites but few people in society ever call them on it or point out these inconsistencies. Don't forget to mention those in Oregon who vote to pass bills concerning doctor-assisted suicide but are also against the death penalty.

Oh man funny rant dude. On point as always Giovanni! You forgot to mention that they'll probably be driving a Subaru to the gay marriage rally. Lol. Although I do support a woman's right to choose, I am very pro choice, I do not think its the government's job to use tax payer dollars to fund this sort of thing.
