Why Cecile Richards WON'T Accept This Challenge

Last week Abby Johnson challenged her former Planned Parenthood boss Cecile Richards toa public debate on whether the nation’s largest abortion-performing organization should continue receiving taxpayer funding from the federal government.

In a letter to the PP CEO she said "I write to formally challenge you to a public debate, through a mutually agreed upon media forum, on the issue of whether or not Congress should continue to provide taxpayers’ dollars to Planned Parenthood. This issue has received a great deal of media coverage in recent days and weeks."

Later in the letter she goes on to say "Given one-third of Planned Parenthood’s funding comes from taxpayers, and that Planned Parenthood’s own reporting notes it performs over 324,000 abortions per year, it defies all logic and common sense to say taxpayers are not financing abortions at these clinics."

She concludes the letter saying "In difficult economic times, when working families are stretched, taxpayers already bearing a heavy burden, and the national debt exceeds $14 trillion, the debate over whether or not Congress should continue to annually provide over $300 million in taxpayer money to Planned Parenthood is pivotal. Your organization turned a profit of over $63 million according to is most recently available annual report, yet Planned Parenthood somehow continues to call itself a “non-profit.” The deceptions must stop. I look forward to your prompt response."

Something tells me that Cecile Richards won't be replying soon. Abby Johnson's recent appearance on EWTN's The World Over Live shows exactly why I am willing to bet Cecile Richards won't accept the challenge.
