Media Advisory: PRESIDENT TO SHUT DOWN GOVERNMENT TO KEEP PLANNED PARENTHOOD RUNNING
Conference Call on Budget Defunding Provision
Washington, D.C. – Today, the Susan B. Anthony List will be joined by Rep. Jim Jordan, Chairman of the Republican Study Committee (RSC) to discuss the effort to defund Planned Parenthood on a media conference call this afternoon.
“The President has singled out Planned Parenthood, a significant financial and political supporter for special attention and protection,” said Marjorie Dannenfelser, president of SBA List. “It is extraordinary that the President sees federal funding for the nation’s number one abortion provider as more important than paychecks for federal workers and funding for our military. When is the question going to be asked of President Obama and Senator Harry Reid, ‘Why is it reasonable to shut down the government in order to protect Planned Parenthood?’”
WHAT: Conference call combating attack campaign by Democrats and exposing Planned Parenthood’s corporate business model centered on abortion
WHO: Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH), Chairman of Republican Study Committee
Marjorie Dannenfelser, President of the Susan B. Anthony List
