Transforming lives with Good News in the Nation’s Capital
May 6, 2021
Planned Parenthood (PP) has finally disavowed its founder, Margaret Sanger, for her horrific racist statements. Yet it still continues to perpetuate Sanger's evil. PP claims that "equality" includes the "right" to murder children—and if the misnamed "Equality Act" passes, no one will be able to stop them.
This bill will demand abortion up to birth. Even gruesome late-term abortions that rip off limbs will be federally protected. Every state law will be overridden. No one—not even religious institutions or health care providers—will escape performing, referring for or paying for abortion.
This bill is teetering on the edge of passing the Senate with 49 co-sponsors of what is now known as S 393 (formerly HR 5). If just one more U.S. senator bows to this deadly agenda, this bill could pass through via reconciliation—a budget bill. Rush your urgent fax to key U.S. senators along with a petition to stop the Equality Act.

Unable to hide the truth any longer, Planned Parenthood finally admitted what we have said for decades—Margaret Sanger was a vicious racist. She sought to exterminate entire swaths of the human population through abortion, sterilization and genocide.
"We will no longer make excuses or apologize for Margaret Sanger's actions," admitted Planned Parenthood CEO Alexis McGill Johnson in a recently published op-ed in The New York Times. "Until recently, we have hidden behind the assertion that her beliefs were the norm for people of her class and era," but Johnson claimed, "the facts are complicated."
Actually, it's not complicated. Sanger was a racist and eugenicist, pure and simple. She NEVER worked with the black "freedom fighters." When blacks were being lynched, Sanger was writing books about sterilizing blacks and aborting their children to keep their "race" from propagating.
Yet even Sanger couldn't have imagined the precipice that America is teetering on right now.
Planned Parenthood wants to force you to pay for abortion through your tax dollars and force every health care professional, hospital, church and school—everyone—to participate in murdering helpless children if the Equality Act becomes law. There will be no Religious Freedom Restoration Act. No conscience protection. Even your own "perceptions" and "beliefs" (using the bill's own words) will not be able to evade its demands for participation by people of faith in abortion!
With just one more vote, the so-called Equality Act could slip through the Senate, it will be used against anyone of faith to force them to bow the knee to Baal and every damaging aspect of this evil agenda. DEMAND THE SENATE STOP THE EQUALITY ACT now!
So far, Sen. Joe Manchin is the lone Democrat holdout. And he has said he will not do away with the filibuster rule that requires 60 votes. But the Democrats want to slip this bill through on a budget reconciliation. We have senators ready to object and force a full vote. Every vote is critical at this point.
In an April 1923 New York Times article, Sanger says society must eliminate certain undesirable racial elements or "those human weeds which threaten the blooming of the finest flowers of American civilization." She was a committed Social Darwinist who wanted to help the human race evolve.
Sanger's 1939 letter to fellow eugenicist Dr. Clarence Gamble says, "We do not want word to go out that we want to exterminate the Negro population."
But now that extermination is being pushed into every corner of our nation. The Equality Act applies to "pregnancy, childbirth or a related medical condition." Treatment for pregnancy or childbirth includes "treatment" to abort the child. Every state law will be preempted. No parental notice or consent, no informed consent—no restrictions whatsoever on abortion from conception to birth.
ALL hospitals, medical providers, pharmacists, employers and insurance companies will be forced to participate in chemical and surgical abortions. Abortions will be publicly funded and covered by private insurance.
Health insurance offered by churches, religious schools and employers would be forced to cover abortion. No one can refuse because the Equality Act destroys the Religious Freedom Restoration Act (RFRA).
Remember Hobby Lobby and Little Sisters of the Poor who objected to abortion-inducing drugs and devices? They won under RFRA. They will not win under the Equality Act.
In addition to gutting religious freedom, the Equality Act will preempt every state law. Any abortion restriction will violate this bill if passed into law.
This bill will also force crisis pregnancy centers to refer women for abortion. This is what California tried to do a few years ago. Fortunately, we dragged Attorney General Xavier Becerra (now secretary of Health and Human Services) to the Supreme Court—and won. But if the Equality Act passes, these bloodthirsty extremists will once again force crisis pregnancy centers to refer women to abortion providers.
There is NOTHING EQUAL about eliminating a helpless life and revoking religious freedom for all. DEMAND THE SENATE STOP THE EQUALITY ACT.
This is a battle we must win in both the legislature and in the courtroom. Our nation is under the greatest attack on your freedom and your faith that I have ever seen. With God's mercy and your help, together we can push back and restore our life and liberty. Support Faith & Liberty.
