Chicago, IL—This Thursday, September 18, leaders from more than 20 pro-life organizations will come together in Rosemont, Ill., to draft a joint resolution, expected to outline a plan to de-fund and shut down Planned Parenthood.
The pro-life advocates will gather at the “Planned Parenthood: BAD for America” summit, organized by the Pro-Life Action League, of Chicago, to share techniques that have proved successful in impeding Planned Parenthood’s objectives across the country. This is the first time so many pro-life groups from across the country have gathered in a single location to address fighting Planned Parenthood, the nation’s largest abortion provider.
“Each pro-life group emphasizes different strategies for effectively reducing abortion, but we all share a common goal – to stop abortion forever,” says Eric Scheidler, PLAL communications director. “Even as the abortion rate declines nationally, Planned Parenthood’s abortion numbers are on the rise – and now Planned Parenthood has launched a major expansion, aggressively targeting the young and vulnerable of our nation. Today more than ever, the pro-life movement must stand together to oppose Planned Parenthood.”
Scheidler led the effort last year to oppose the opening of a massive new Planned Parenthood facility in Aurora, IL – called “Ground Zero” by Planned Parenthood CEO Cecile Richards — and has advised other pro-life groups around the country on mobilizing grassroots resistance to Planned Parenthood’s designs on their communities.
The summit agenda includes presentations by experts who are veterans from the pro-life battlefield, including the following:
Scheidler and his father, Joe Scheidler, renowned pro-life advocate, will facilitate discussion and drafting of a joint resolution on steps the pro-life coalition will take to combat Planned Parenthood in the coming years.
“Planned Parenthood is a huge organization, flush with cash, but no enemy is too big when we work together,” the younger Scheidler says. “When all of these pro-life groups gather on Thursday, America will see a unified front in the battle to save unborn babies from their number-one enemy, Planned Parenthood.”
