Dear Friends,

Thank you for your action on our recent e-mail! Because of your calls, pro-life taxpayers won the day in the House of Representatives. Without your calls, letters and e-mails, pro-family champions in the House would not have been able to stop the Democrat leadership from providing yet another government-funded perk to Planned Parenthood which they had tucked into a funding bill for our troops at war.

We couldn't have accomplished this without the letters/phone calls you made to your Representatives! Your voices truly make a difference.

In case you missed the announcement yesterday in our Multimedia e-mail, the Democrat leadership in the House finally gave in on the war supplemental funding for our troops. Initially, not only did they refuse to fund our men and women fighting in Iraq and Afghanistan, but they also used this emergency war funding bill as a means to pass their liberal initiatives.

One of the more pernicious provisions in this bill, which was removed in negotiations, would have allowed certain Planned Parenthood clinics and university healthcare centers to get drugs at nominal prices.

Pandering to political allies like Planned Parenthood, Representative Nancy Pelosi (D-California) and her liberal cohorts wanted to make it cheaper and easier for Planned Parenthood to distribute controversial drugs that could endanger women's health, including Plan B which can act as an abortifacient.

Thanks to you we are able to secure our country and not line Planned Parenthood's coffers!

Sincerely,

Wendy Wright
President

 

P.S. If you missed it yesterday, please be sure to listen to our Multimedia interview celebrating this victory with CWA's Director of Legislation and Public Policy, Shari Rendall, at http://www.cwfa.org/articles/15394/CWA//index.htm.
