We have been deeply involved in negotiations with senators, and we are waiting — at any minute — for language being finalized now on the budget bill. What is hanging in the balance is whether the 10-year ban on funding Big Abortion will be included or not. The Senate Finance Committee is at the heart of this battle for life. We have met with each of them and crafted a path forward, but they need to hear from you. Will they put up a fight for life? We cannot take anything for granted. You have a huge opportunity to make your voice heard directly by this critical committee at this important moment.

We must keep up the intensity to pass this bill in the Senate. This battle was lost previously in the Senate or in reconciliation afterward. The Senate has strong advocates for Planned Parenthood.

Much of the debate up to this point has been focused on budget spending and whether Congress will appropriate hundreds of millions of dollars to fund Planned Parenthood and Big Abortion — under the euphemism of “health care.”

The Senate needs to hear from you right now. They need to know if you care about defunding Big Abortion providers — or not. Is this the hill we want them to die on — or will they succumb to the pressure and allow babies to die? Urge Congress to Defund Planned Parenthood and Big Abortion now!

Having watched the anger directed at Republican committee members by Democrats, it is hard to communicate the level of pressure these legislators are under — from all sides.

The battle for life has been front and center in this heated debate. The committee members were physically exhausted after Democrats harangued the supporters of the bill to defund abortion.

In a previous committee meeting, high-ranking Democrats, who were not on the committee, were paraded through the committee hearing one by one to propose amendments to the funding bill. Some of these members were Democrat Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, Democrat House Whip Katherine Clark, even former Speaker Nancy Pelosi — and a long list of others. One of the top issues Democrats pressed for hours was increasing welfare with no work requirements — and continued funding for Planned Parenthood.

Minority Leader Jeffries claimed that this was the “largest cut to health care in American history.” News flash — killing children is not “health care.”

Democrat Whip Clark bemoaned declining birth rates, just moments after offering an amendment to continue federal funding for Planned Parenthood.

Democrats were calling Republicans “un-American” for suggesting that working families should keep more of the money they earn. Some even said Republicans would “kill people” if they stripped funding from abortion providers. Some even quoted Scripture to press for abortion funding. What blasphemy!

This choice is before us right now, and the Senate urgently needs to hear from you before they go into this committee meeting, if you want them to stay strong.

Liberty Counsel Action staff were listening live as the parade of Democrats unfolded. Our D.C. team is working directly with members of the House and Senate. Scores of amendments were introduced to wear down lawmakers and kill the bill.

We are working with legislators to provide up-to-the-minute support.

We, too, are burning the midnight oil to help shape what could be one of the most consequential spending bills that could finally defund Planned Parenthood and Big Abortion.

But we can’t do this work without you. We need your prayers and financial support.

Your support helps us: 

• Attend late-night committee meetings and hearings.

• Alert members of Congress to stealth abortion funding provisions.

• Rally the grassroots to take action at the right moment — like today.

Please chip in a generous gift to help us defund Big Abortion and defend the unborn now! Please consider sending a generous gift right now to help Liberty Counsel Action stay fully engaged in this battle for life.

Time is short. We must act swiftly — and we need your help to keep up the pressure.

For life and liberty,
