Dear John,

There are moments in our nation's life when the contrast between good and evil, between life and death, becomes impossible to ignore.

This is one of those moments.

Right now, Congress is working on budget reconciliation to fund the federal government and determine how to use taxpayer funds for the next budget cycle.

As Congress members work on this legislation, it looks like we may see some of the most pro-family tax reforms in a generation come down from Capitol Hill.

While this is great news, Planned Parenthood just released its latest annual report, revealing the dark reality of what our tax dollars have been funding for the last year:

• 402,230 abortions in a single year
• $792.2 million in government funding
• Over 1,100 lives snuffed out every day

Let that sink in.

While pro-life Americans work and pray to protect the unborn and support parents, nearly $800 million of our taxpayer money is propping up the abortion industry's leading profiteer.

It's time to rally behind pro-family policies that respect life -- and demand an end to taxpayer funding for abortion.

That's why Family Research Council is working closely with Congressional leadership to ensure funding for abortion providers like Planned Parenthood is out and pro-family policies are in. Will you join us?

Give to defund abortion

Back in the 1990s, FRC policy experts first advocated for a federal child tax credit. Since this groundbreaking pro-family tax policy went into effect in 1997, FRC and other allies have sought to expand it.

Thankfully, pro-life, pro-family momentum is growing -- and FRC is helping lead the charge. Just look at what's possible:

• Child Tax Credit increase from $2,000 to $2,500 per child, permanently indexed to inflation
• Adoption Tax Credit expanded to $16,810, with eligibility widened to include Native American tribal governments
• Penalties for states that charge parents for adopting foster children--removing barriers to family formation

These kinds of policies that promote family are key to ushering in the America we're fighting for.

But while we're fighting for families, Planned Parenthood is doubling down on death.

Planned Parenthood's latest report shows they:

• Performed nearly 20,000 more abortions than the previous year
• Received almost $50 million more in taxpayer money than the year before
• Spent less on actual medical services, but expanded "gender-affirming hormone therapy" to 70% of their centers
• Made abortion their core business, accounting for 96.4% of their pregnancy-related services

The only thing standing between this tragic status quo and a better future is you.

Will you join FRC today to champion policies that protect life and support families? Together, you and I can stand for life, support strong families, and speak truth to power in Washington.
