It's Not Over, The Fight is Just Beginning


Dear Conservative Friend,

Like you, I am energized and excited about last night's election victories.

But what we also know to be true is that last night’s victories at the ballot box are meaningless if they don't translate into real legislative victories that change the course of this nation.

My name is Marjorie Dannenfelser, president of Susan B. Anthony List, a national pro-life group, and I am asking you to join me in our effort to stop all federal funding of abortion in the next Congress.

Sign the Stop Abortion Funding Petition and tell the new Congress to ban all taxpayer funding of abortion, both here at home and abroad.

We need to send a clear message to the 112th Congress that eliminating taxpayer funding of abortion is a top priority. When Congress begins next year, we will have the most pro-life leadership backed by the most pro-life incoming Freshman class than we've ever had. This is an opportunity to finally put to rest the issue of taxpayer funding of abortion.

However, this simply will not happen without your help. The work must begin now before the American people's mandate fades away in the ho-hum of Washington, D.C.

How can we eliminate all taxpayer funding of abortion? There are two important pieces of pro-life legislation that can be passed right away:

1. The “No Taxpayer Funding for Abortion Act” introduced by Congressmen Chris Smith (R-NJ) and Dan Lipinski (D-IL) will establish a consistent and permanent government-wide ban on taxpayer funding of abortion.

2. The “Title X Abortion Provider Prohibition Act” introduced by Congressman Mike Pence (R-IN) will ensure that our tax dollars don’t go to organizations that perform abortion, like Planned Parenthood, through Title X family planning grants.

Sign the Stop Abortion Funding Petition now and tell the new Congress that they must eliminate all federal funding of abortion.

Conservative Friend, over the past two years, President Obama was backed by a pro-abortion Congress that aggressively pushed taxpayer funding of abortion.

But now, with a new Congress full of energized pro-life leaders, we can finally begin to repair the damage that’s been done and restore America’s conscience and fiscal responsibility.

Sign the Stop Abortion Funding Petition now and tell the new Congress to end all federal funding of abortion.

Whether you’re primarily a social conservative, a fiscal conservative, or both, this is commonsense legislation that we can agree on in the next Congress. It’s also supported by the American people, with a recent Quinnipiac poll showing 7 out of 10 Americans oppose taxpayer funding of abortion. In fact, taxpayer funding of abortion played a major role in many of the defeats we witnessed last night.

In fact, their vote for a health care bill that includes the largest expansion of abortion (at taxpayer expense) since Roe v. Wade was what led many of the self-described “pro-life Democrats” to their electoral doom last night.

We must tell the new Congress to pass these commonsense measures. Tell the new Congress by signing our Stop Abortion Funding petition. These laws will save unborn lives and protect the consciences of American taxpayers who do not want to be complicit in the deaths of almost 4,000 unborn American children per day.

Americans just don’t want their hard-earned money being sent to the likes of:

Planned Parenthood—America’s largest abortion provider has received an eye-popping $2.3 billion in federal funds over the past 7 years.

United Nations Population Fund—The U.N. Agency that works with pro-abortion groups to promote abortion overseas, and even supports China’s one-child policy, received $50 Million in taxpayer dollars in 2009 alone when President Obama rescinded the Mexico City Policy.

Taxpayer dollars should never be used to fund abortions both here at home and abroad. Sign the Stop Abortion Funding petition right now.

In just two weeks, on November 15th, I am scheduled to meet with the incoming Members of Congress. Imagine the impact it will make when I hand each new member a petition signed by tens of thousands of Americans from across the country.

The message will be loud and clear: It’s time to put an end to the pro-abortion Obama agenda. We want the new Congress to repeal deadly laws and cancel the gusher of tax dollars funneled to abortionists.

Congratulations on hard-earned electoral victories last night that. Now, let’s make them count for Life. Sign the petition now and tell Congress to end all taxpayer funding of abortion.

With your help and the great pro-life leadership we have elected to Congress, I know we will be able to pass the lifesaving legislation unborn children and their mothers need and put a stop to the Obama administration’s deadly pro-abortion agenda.

For Life,

Marjorie Dannenfelser
