Pro-Life Coalition Is Putting Out An Ad Planned Parenthood Won't Like

Especially since it features former Planned Parenthood Clinic director Abby Johnson. The coalition is led by the Susan B. Anthony List Education Fund. Other partners are Expose Planned Parenthood coalition group members American Values, Catholic Advocate & CatholicVote.org Education Fund.

The ad (below) is scheduled to run from today to 7 April 2011 on DC area cable. It is being run to help expose the "true corporate realities behind Planned Parenthood’s business model, one which requires an “abortion quota” to increase revenue." It is being run in DC at this time as the Congress is back in session & the budget debate is on the front burner. & a huge part of that debate is whether to continue funding Planned Parenthood.

In part the ad is being run to keep the pressure on those in the House who might be wavering so that they will continue to support defunding. It will also put pressure on the Senate & make it clear that if Harry Reed refuses to go along, the blame for a government shutdown will be on his hands, not the Pro-lifers.

The news release from Susan B. Anthony Fund had the following statements from various leaders in the coalition:

“There is no better testament to why Planned Parenthood must be defunded than the account of a former insider whose life work is to serve women and saw first-hand how it exploits them,” said Marjorie Dannenfelser, president of the Susan B. Anthony List Education Fund. “She found out the hard way that Planned Parenthood hides its true mission and deceives the public about its health services. If this Congress cannot find the moral courage to relieve taxpayers of the burden this scandal-plagued organization places upon them, it is not serious about budget reform.”

“The abortion industry is often falsely portrayed as a big-hearted caring industry that simply wants to serve low-income women,” said Brian Burch, president of the CatholicVote.org Education Fund. “This is the lie that Abby Johnson has courageously exposed. Planned Parenthood is America's leading abortion provider, and a billion-dollar organization profiting off the American taxpayer. Americans deserve the choice to help women without being forced to fund the abortion giant Planned Parenthood."

“Abby Johnson’s powerful witness shows that Planned Parenthood doesn’t care about women, it cares about abortion,” said Matt Smith, vice president of Catholic Advocate. “Abby’s testimony reveals that Planned Parenthood doesn’t work to reduce the number of abortions but instead encourages employees to increase the number of abortions it performs. No wonder Planned Parenthood is America’s largest abortion provider.”

“For far too long, Planned Parenthood has tried to tell the American people that it works to reduce the number of abortions,” said Gary Bauer, president of American Values. “Yet, every year, the number of abortions they perform increases. Now we know why. Planned Parenthood is centered around abortion and actively tells employees to sell its lies to more women to fatten their bottom line."

The cost of running the ads is $90,000. Not a bad price in my opinion to get the truth out.
