The Alert:
U.S. taxpayers are being forced to fund America’s largest and leading abortion non-profit corporation, Planned Parenthood, to the tune of $305.3 million annually. Despite claims that Planned Parenthood provides a wide-range of family-planning services, the organization boasts of being the world’s largest abortion provider—performing a record 264,943 abortions in the fiscal year
2005-2006 -- a time period during which they made no adoption referrals
(Source: Family Research Council). In the previous year, Planned Parenthood had reported 1,414 adoption referrals, which amounts to one adoption for every 180 abortions.
Illegal Activity:
Recently, the PPFA has been indicted over illegal late-term abortions, failure to determine the viability for late term abortions, 23 felony counts of making false information and unlawful failure to maintain records.
Even more repulsive is word that PPFA has been involved in a baby body parts operation whereby intact body parts, arms, legs, eyes, livers etc. where shipped to fulfill what has been called “research” orders. During the investigation, a parts price list including $75 for an aborted spleen, $550 for gonads was uncovered.
These charges moved Senator Sam Brownback to call for a suspension of federal funding of PPFA.
Now is the time for grassroots Americans to take action against PPFA by demanding the government funding pull the plug on the PPFA’s thriving abortion industry.
The Action:
The fact that this organization can somehow remain unaccountable
while skirting regulations governing other so-called
“non-profits” is highly suspect. Grassfire.org Alliance has
launched a national petition to rally 250,000 pro-life citizens
from across the country that are calling for an end to the
federal funding of PPFA and the abortion agenda, as well as a
closer investigative look into the practices and procedures of
PPFA. Grassfire’s petition -- modeled after the letter drafted
by Sens. Brownback and Vitter -- will be sent directly to
Congress in support of legislation to terminate federal funding
for Planned Parenthood and other organizations promoting
abortion.
