RSScritical deadline in pro-life fight
Jay Sekulow, ACLJ | July 31, 2011
We face a critical deadline in our ongoing battle with Planned Parenthood – the nation’s largest provider of abortions. We are holding them accountable in a case where they are accused of fraudulently overbilling taxpayers by hundreds of millions of dollars.
The ACLJ has until this Monday, August 1st, to respond to Planned Parenthood’s latest legal maneuvering to avoid being held accountable for their actions. We need your help.
Planned Parenthood knows that this lawsuit could cripple their operations in California and their opportunity for future public funding in the rest of the country. We are up against the full weight of this abortion giant’s billion-dollar budget– a budget subsidized by hundreds of millions of dollars in federal funding.
Will you stand with the ACLJ to ensure that we have the resources we need to hold Planned Parenthood accountable for their actions? Your tax-deductible donation will be matched dollar-for-dollar through our Matching Challenge.
A group of our donors have agreed to match any donations we receive online – but we must raise $750,000 to take full advantage of this opportunity.
Our team of attorneys is taking action, working vigorously to meet Monday’s deadline for filing our legal opposition to Planned Parenthood’s motion to throw out a large portion of this case. We are also continuing our work in several other critical pro-life cases – to defeat ObamaCare and defend pro-life pregnancy centers.
Earlier this week, we filed a new brief in our ObamaCare lawsuit, arguing that this pro-abortion law is an unconstitutional restriction of our liberty. Not only does it unconstitutionally force Americans to buy a particular product, it is essentially a bailout for the abortion industry.
ObamaCare infuses groups like Planned Parenthood with unprecedented levels of new funding – funding they will continue to use to attempt to defeat us in court and expand their abortion business. Please take action with us as we go up against the full resources of the Obama Administration to defeat this pro-abortion law in court.
We are also continuing to defend pro-life pregnancy centers against a New York City law threatening to shut them down – a law pro-abortion forces hope to enact in every city in America. As you know, we won an important victory in this fight earlier this month when a federal judge issued a preliminary injunction preventing this law from going into effect. However, the government – with the support of pro-abortion groups like Planned Parenthood, NARAL Pro-Choice America, the ACLU, and the National Organization for Women – has already filed their notice to appeal this well-reasoned decision.
We are preparing our response to defend these pro-life centers against this violation of their First Amendment rights so that they can continue doing what they do best – helping women in their crucial moment of need and saving the lives of unborn babies.
Please help us get the resources we need to defend life as we go up against Planned Parenthood’s billion-dollar budget and the full resources of the Obama Administration. Through our Matching Challenge, your impact will literally be doubled – every $100 becomes $200 in this critical fight.
Thank you for your continued support for the ACLJ as we defend life and liberty.
Sincerely,
Jay Sekulow
ACLJ Chief Counsel
