Urge
the president to veto any bill that funds Planned Parenthood
Tuesday, May 2, 2017
Dear Carl,
Over the weekend Democrats and Republicans agreed on a 1.07 trillion
dollar spending bill that will fund the government through September. What's
wrong with this spending bill? Well, many things, but among the worst is the
fact that abortion giant Planned Parenthood continues to receive its roughly
$500 million in federal funding.
In a letter to pro-life
leaders during the campaign season, then candidate Donald Trump promised to
defund Planned Parenthood as long as it continues to perform abortions and
reallocating its funding to community health centers that provide comprehensive
health care for women.
In early March of this year,
President Trump said in a statement to the New York Times, "As
I said throughout the campaign, I am pro-life and I am deeply committed to
investing in women's health and plan to significantly increase federal funding
in support of non-abortion services such as cancer
screenings."
Democrats are celebrating this as a legislative
victory. This shouldn't be the case. Voters gave Republicans control of the
House, Senate, and White House in November of 2016. President Trump promised to
defund Planned Parenthood. He should fulfill this promise. According to a
Congressional Research Service report, Congress has the authority to defund Planned
Parenthood through various avenues.
Planned Parenthood
murders hundreds of thousands of babies each year. This organization should not
receive taxpayer dollars.
The only way to stop this
horrendous spending bill is to encourage President Trump to veto any bill that
funds Planned Parenthood. Remind the president that voters elected him to
fulfill his promises.
The American people must fight now or
Republicans will not follow through on their campaign promise to stop funding
America's largest abortion provider.
Take action
Urge President Trump to veto any bill that funds Planned
Parenthood.
