There's a hidden pro-life significance to America celebrating its founding on the 4th of July.

July 4 wasn't the day the Revolutionary War was won or the Constitution signed. It was the day our experiment in self-government was conceived.

But as we celebrate our freedom, there's a storm cloud on the horizon: Unless Congress acts soon, the defunding of Planned Parenthood will expire this week.

Check out my recent Washington Examiner op-ed calling on the Republican majority to quit making excuses and renew the defunding of America's abortion empire:

This same Congress defunded Planned Parenthood just one year ago.

There's no reason--other than cowardice--that it can't be done again.

Send a message to members of Congress that they can't keep taking pro-life voters for granted. If they want our votes, they need to quit squandering opportunities to protect vulnerable moms and babies from abortion.

Sign and share our petition to defund Planned Parenthood by visiting defundplannedparenthood.com.

The signers of the Declaration of Independence risked everything to protect the unalienable rights of LIFE, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.

Surely, our senators and representatives can find the fortitude to cast a vote to defund Planned Parenthood.
