Turning Outrage into Action: Defund Planned Parenthood

By now, I am sure most RedState readers (and 232,000+ Americans according to the latest YouTube count) have watched the shocking footage of a Planned Parenthood manager coaching a man and a woman posing as sex traffickers on how to secure secret abortions and other services for their female underage sex slaves.

And just this morning, LiveAction released a second video showing a Planned Parenthood abortion center in Richmond, VA agreeing to help the pimp get secret abortions and cheap birth control for his trafficked girls (video below).

It’s time to turn outrage over these videos into action. The fact is, what you see in these videos has been going on in Planned Parenthood clinics for years (see the documentation here). And it’s time for it to end. At the very least, our tax dollars shouldn’t be funding it.

That’s why tonight, Thursday, February 3rd at 8:30 PM EST, pro-life leaders are uniting for a mega-webcast that will be streamed online at http://www.ExposePlannedParenthood.com.

Erick Erickson and the RedState team have agreed to be a partner in the coalition hosting the webcast – we are honored to have your support!

The goal of the webcast is simple: to pressure Congress to strip Planned Parenthood of all taxpayer funding.

We’ll start by rallying around Rep. Mike Pence’s Title X Abortion Provider Prohibition Act, which would defund Planned Parenthood and other abortion providers of the funding they receive under Title X.

Lila Rose, president of Live Action, will be on the webcast to narrate the video footage, explain the specifics of the sting operation, and detail Planned Parenthood’s inexcusable actions. It was Lila’s group that went undercover and caught Planned Parenthood in the act of exploiting innocent young victims of sex trafficking.

Joining Lila and I are top pro-life leaders, including:

• TONY PERKINS, Family Research Council
• ABBY JOHNSON, Former Planned Parenthood clinic director turned pro-life advocate and author
• DAVID BEREIT, 40 Days for Life
• WENDY WRIGHT, Concerned Women for America
• CHARMAINE YOEST, Americans United for Life Action
• STEVEN WAGNER, Former Director, Human Trafficking Program, U.S. Department of Health and Human Services
• DR. ALVEDA KING, Niece of Dr. Martin Luther King and African American Outreach at Priests for Life

On the webcast, we’ll provide direction on how we can defund Planned Parenthood at all levels of government.

How much money is at stake?

Planned Parenthood reported receiving $363 million in government grants and contracts during fiscal year 2008 to 2009, accounting for roughly one-third of its total revenue. A report by the non-partisan Government Accountability Office showed that abortion promoting groups raked in nearly a billion dollars in government funds from 2002 to 2009, with $657.1 million of it going to Planned Parenthood. Of the $657.1 million Planned Parenthood received, $342.1 of it is from the Title X family planning program.

Data shows that the more government funding Planned Parenthood receives, the more abortions it performs:

Planned Parenthood Tax Money and Abortions

Please join me for this historic webcast tonight at 8:30 PM EST at http://www.ExposePlannedParenthood.com.

Now is the time to defund Planned Parenthood – and we need all hands on deck. We are honored to have Erick Erickson and the entire RedState community on board!

Finally, below is the new Virginia footage followed by the New Jersey footage, in case you missed it.

Please post the videos to your Facebook, post them on Twitter with #exposePP, and e-mail them out to all your contacts. Invite everyone you know to the webcast tonight. Every single taxpayer in this country needs to see what Washington (and many state and local governments) are forcing them to subsidize.

    Want to really pressure the current congressmen?

    Get as many members of the pro-life groups as possible to join one more group — the political party that best aligns with their political philosophy on the issue of life. “Pivot” into political action inside that political party — by becoming voting members of it. Fill up every currently vacant precinct committeeman slots.

    Immediately, as in some states, the deadlines for doing so are fast approaching. If you don’t do it right away, you’ll be shut out of the most impactful position you could be in for the 2012 primary elections.

    Fill up all the vacant precinct committeeman slots and you’ll be in a position to put pressure on the congressman in a way that matters to them: you’ll be able to threaten their continuation in office, because you’ll be in the BEST position to defeat them in the most important election they’ll face in 2012 — the PRIMARY election.

    If you get hundreds and thousands of “your people” to fill up the local party committee rooms this month, you will send a powerful, unprecedented signal to the current congressmen.

    There’s a blueprint for this. Utah. I wrote about it here:

    http://www.redstate.com/coldwarrior/2010/05/08/2101-of-3500-of-75000-denied-bob-bennett/

    Demonstrate that you’ve got the numbers and the organization in the precinct committeemen slots to vote to endorse their challengers if necessary. And then get out the vote for their challengers if necessary. And then, if necessary, get out the vote for their adversaries.

    It’s all about the elections. And making sure constitutional conservatives win the all-important, traditionally-very-low-turnout primary elections. The first, most important election for every incumbent.

    Thank you.

    For Liberty,

    ColdWarrior

    I thought it was amusing that at the 1:53 mark of the second video, the PP worker assures the pimp that everything is confidential under HIPAA, but at the 2:27 mark, she reveals that the strippers at the Paper Moon have STDs. I hope that Paper Moon sues PP as a result of this privacy breach.

    Secondly, in this video, the PP worker admits that birth control pills are not an effective birth control option for teens because teens are not responsible enough to take them as directed.

    Thanks for posting Marjorie. I am looking forward to the webcast.

    They Call It The Paper Moon House of Crabs because of the seafood buffet.

  • Uma Richie

    and let Paper Moon know about the offense, or would that backfire on Lila’s amazing work so far?

  • jerry39

    Lila is the one publishing the comments to a wide audience.

    The Jon Stewarts of the media are making a big deal out of this whole ‘forcible rape’ language without even telling our side of the story- that there are too many loopholes. Thanks to LiveAction for planting these stings, of course that will be misinterpreted by the MSM as well. The GOP needs to grow a spine and close the loopholes and not cave to these moralizing libs telling us what to do with our country.

    After taking some time away from the computer, I realized that Planned Parenthood and a strip club, two organizations devoted to objectifying women, would be natural allies against LiveAction.

    Strip clubs convince people to engage in stupid sexual behavior. Planned Parenthood gets rid of the “complications.”

    that I remember hearing. When you called somebody, they’d pick up the phone and say, “Joe’s Abortion Clinic. You rape ‘em, we scrape ‘em!”

    Pretty ghastly, isn’t it? But very, very accurate.

    That is why, all my adult life, I have never been able to see how feminists — or anyone who truly values women — could ever in a million years support abortion.

    As Marjorie Dannenfelser will tell you, NONE of the early feminists did. Go to the Feminists for Life website some time and read the quotes from “our feminist foremothers.” They were unanimous in their horror at this hideous exploitation of women.
