Retired pediatric neurosurgeon and 2016 GOP presidential candidate Ben Carson will be the featured speaker Tuesday at the Washington, D.C. #WomenBetrayed rally to defund Planned Parenthood.
To date, some 60 cities are confirmed as holding rallies – all of which have been coordinated by the nation’s largest organization of pro-life millennials, Students for Life of America (SFLA) and its partner organization Pro-Life Future. The rallies urge citizens across the nation to demand their states investigate, prosecute and defund Planned Parenthood.
The Washington, D.C. rally will be held on Capitol Hill.
In addition to Carson, other speakers scheduled include Sen. James Lankford, Rep. Marsha Blackburn, Rep. Chris Smith, Rep. Andy Harris, Rep. Tim Huelskamp, and other national pro-life leaders. Blackburn led 135 Republican House members in a formal request to U.S. Attorney General Loretta Lynch for an immediate investigation into Planned Parenthood’s practices of harvesting the body parts of aborted babies for sale to biomedical companies.
In an email to SFLA supporters, president Kristan Hawkins invited them to participate in their local rallies, most of which will be held at 12:00 noon local time in the cities located at the #WomenBetrayed website.
“It’s time to stop the more than $500 million taxpayer dollars that flow to the abortion Goliath every year,” Hawkins said. “It’s the time for us to reach their would-be clients first to tell them the truth about Planned Parenthood’s motives. It’s time to topple the first domino in our mission to end abortion in America.”
