Susan B. Anthony List fires back at Planned Parenthood
Posted by Ben Smith

Susan B. Anthony List today launched a $200,000 radio campaign in defense of several members of Congress, thanking them for their vote to help defend Planned Parenthood.

“Hear this?,” says the announcer in the spot, playing a clip of a recent conservative sting operation. “That’s the sound of a Planned Parenthood staffer caught on video giving advice on how to get a 14 year old rape victim an abortion without alerting the authorities.”

The districts targeted include Allen West (FL-22), Randy Hultgren (IL-14), Joe Walsh (IL-08), Frank Guinta (NH-02), Mike Fitzpatrick (PA-08) and Patrick Meehan (PA-07).

The radio campaign is in response to a Planned Parenthood campaign against several members for their vote to defund the organization.

    Hear this?

    “You never got this from me…if they’re 14 and under just send ’em right there if they need an abortion. Ok?”

    That’s the sound of a Planned Parenthood staffer caught on video giving advice on how to get a 14 year old rape victim an abortion without alerting the authorities.

    14 years old.

    And it’s happening at Planned Parenthood offices across the country.

    Shamefully, Planned Parenthood’s been using your tax dollars to help spread their disgusting message.

    Until now.

    Congressmen Mike Fitzpatrick and Pat Meehan said no more… …voting to put an end to federal funding of Planned Parenthood…

    Principled leaders, Congressman Fitzpatrick and Meehan have a firm commitment to protecting women and children.

    Planned Parenthood has launched a massive attack campaign against them…

    …but they will not back down…

    …and Susan B. Anthony List is proud to stand with them.
