As I write this, Congress has taken the first official steps in investigating Planned Parenthood—in large part because of our work! We applaud this common sense move and congratulate Congressman Cliff Stearns for spearheading this unprecedented initiative for life. Congressman Stearns himself said: "Although Planned Parenthood is barred from using federal funds to perform abortions, these funds are fungible and allow the group to use funds from other sources ostensibly for abortions. Since the Planned Parenthood Foundation of America receives about $1 million a day in taxpayer funds, I sent a letter to the group's president requesting documents and information as we look at the organization's use of federal dollars and its compliance with various laws." Now we must seize the opportunity to break the back of the nation's largest pro-abortion juggernaut. Continue reading this time-sensitive message to learn how.

Dear Friend of Life,

Make no mistake about it: this is the biggest pro-life opportunity since Roe v. Wade. How we respond as a movement, right now, may determine whether Congress ultimately de-funds Planned Parenthood. Congressman Henry Waxman and Planned Parenthood's other allies in the Congress know that Planned Parenthood's federal funding is in danger and are already attacking pro-life efforts, saying that these efforts amount to harassment!

Follow this secure link to help Americans United for Life push to de-fund Planned Parenthood and sustain all our life-saving activities with an immediate tax-deductible contribution of $50, $100, $250 or more. Your donation can be written-off as an itemized charitable contribution for federal tax purposes and will be used to sustain our pro-life momentum and help us fight the abortion behemoth.

Earlier this year, we released a thirty-page analysis entitled The Case for Investigating Planned Parenthood, exposing Planned Parenthood's misuse of federal funds, failure to report child sex abuse, willful disregard for state laws regulating abortion, and a host of other scandalous activities. The report worked: Planned Parenthood will now be held to account for its long history of waste, fraud, and systemic abuse before the entire nation!

In fact, numerous media outlets have gone to press about AUL's crucial role in pushing for this investigation. The Washington Independent reported that Congressman Stearns has ordered that the process go forward "based on" the findings of the AUL report!

How badly do you want to see Congress strip Planned Parenthood of its federal subsidies? How badly do you want to see Cecile Richards, President of Planned Parenthood, forced to explain Planned Parenthood's deadly work before the entire nation?

My friends, we're this close! Will you put us over the top right now?

Follow this secure link to help Americans United for Life push to de-fund Planned Parenthood and sustain all our life-saving activities with an immediate tax-deductible contribution of $50, $100, $250 or more.

Your immediate help is needed to cut off Planned Parenthood's federal handouts!

Planned Parenthood has circled the wagon, hired expensive lawyers and is sweating this out. But they haven't seen anything yet – just wait until they turn on the hot interrogation lights on Capitol Hill! Your immediate response will determine just how much we can help.

Yours for Life,

Charmaine Yoest, Ph.D.
