July 14th and July 21st that showed Planned Parenthood officials discussing the procurement and sale of body parts from aborted babies, dozens of rallies will be held
on Tuesday, July 28th in at least 41 cities across America calling for the investigation and defunding of Planned Parenthood.
The rallies are called #WomenBetrayed because Planned Parenthood has betrayed the very patients – women and their children – who they claim to care about and have compassion for. See more at www.womenbetrayed.com.
“Women are supposed to help and support other women – not use them for profit and sell the body parts of their prenatal children,” said Kristan Hawkins, president of Students for Life of America, the group coordinating these rallies. “Planned Parenthood gets a half a billion a year in taxpayer dollars. We are calling on every state and federal government to cut off those funds immediately and investigate Planned Parenthood for possible wrongdoing.”
The first video from the Center for Medical Progress showing a top Planned Parenthood executive musing about how she “crushes” certain parts of the baby in order to get desired organs intact is only the latest infraction in a long list of horrific behaviors, including the covering up statutory rape, the overbilling taxpayers, the aiding and abetting sex traffickers, scheduling sex-selective abortions and accepting money to abort African American children. Planned Parenthood receives over $500 million in government funds a year.
“Planned Parenthood had a net profit of $127 million in 2013-2014. Let them fundraise and support themselves like any other business in the country that isn’t deceiving women and making money off of taking the lives of the most vulnerable and selling their body parts,” said Hawkins.
“Within four days of announcing the national rallies to our supporters, we already have over 40 cities who will be hosting a local rally to defund Planned Parenthood,” said Brendan O’Morchoe, Director of Pro-Life Future, who is partnering with Students for Life for the rallies. “The outrage against taxpayer dollars funding Planned Parenthood is palpable. This is the time to defund them and Americans are going to make their voices heard on July 28th.”
