Read Jeanne Mancini’s op-ed in the Hill on America’s pro-life consensus –>> Eight out of ten Americans surveyed support abortion limits.

As recently as July, a Knights of Columbus/ Marist surveyed 1,009 people and the poll revealed that merely eight out of ten Americans believe abortion should be limited at most to the first three months of pregnancy. When polling those who self-identify as “pro-choice”, a combined 62 percent would limit abortion to the first trimester (39 percent), to cases involving rape, incest or for the life of the mother (19 percent, with 2 percent weighing in only for the life of the mother), or would ban abortion altogether (4 percent). But sadly, this is not reflective of the U.S. Law.

March for Life President Jeanne Mancini’s op-ed in Townhall, “The Business of Reproductive Control”

Last weekend marked the 100^th anniversary of the founding of America’s primary abortion provider, Planned Parenthood. A non-profit, 501c3 charity, the organization’s CEO, Cecile Richards, is paid nearly $1 million a year! Not your typical non-profit salary, Planned Parenthood isn’t your average do-good organization. Founded by eugenicist Margaret Sanger in 1921 as the American Birth Control League, Planned Parenthood was renamed in 1942 and has become a sophisticated business with an annual budget of well over $1 billion.

The Enormous Loss of Life During This Time is Cause for Grief Not Celebration

 

 

WASHINGTON DC— This weekend, Planned Parenthood will commemorate its 100^th  anniversary dating back to the 1916 opening of Margaret Sanger’s first clinic in New York City. Originally known as the American Birth Control League, renamed Planned Parenthood in 1942, the organization has evolved into a billion dollar business, and is the single largest provider of abortions in the United States.

“The 100^th anniversary of our nation’s largest abortion provider, Planned Parenthood, is a somber reminder of the work we have ahead of us in building a culture of life. Since 1973, over 57 million Americans have been lost to abortion, with many mothers suffering regret after making such a choice. Planned Parenthood has been the primary means for this tremendous loss in our country.

While some will celebrate on Sunday, we instead grieve the fact that approximately one sixth of our nation is not with us today because of the very work of Planned Parenthood. We will also use this anniversary to redouble our educational efforts to show the attractive and empowering truth that being pro-life is pro-woman, and, unlike Margaret Sanger, we know that each person- regardless of race, special needs, or “being planned”- has inherent dignity from the moment of conception.” said Jeanne Mancini, President of March for Life Education and Defense Fund.

The March for Life in Washington, D.C. began as a small demonstration on January 22, 1974, the first anniversary of the now-infamous Supreme Court decisions in Roe v Wade and Doe v Bolton and rapidly grew to be the largest pro-life event in the world.  The peaceful demonstration that has followed on this somber anniversary every year since is a witness to the truth concerning the greatest human rights violation of our time, legalized abortion on demand.

Jeanne Monahan-Mancini, President of March for Life Education and Defense Fund, is available for interviews. For more information or to schedule an interview, please contact Catherine Bradley at cbradley@sbpublicaffairs.com or (703) 739-5920.

“As we approach the 100^th anniversary of our nation’s largest abortion provider, Planned Parenthood, this Sunday, their dark scandal involving the trafficking of little hearts, lungs and livers for profit will be haunting the group as longtime business partner- DaVinci Bio – is now being prosecuted for these crimes. May justice be served, and may the inner workings of Planned Parenthood continue to come into the light so that one day soon Americans no longer have to be complicit in funding our nation’s primary abortion organization and its’ sinister work.”  – Jeanne Mancini, March for Life President
