Citizens United President and "The Gift Of Life" Executive Producer David N. Bossie responds to Planned Parenthood's "prebuttal" of "The Gift Of Life" premiere event:

In attacking our film premiere of "The Gift Of Life"  and pro-life forum with Governor Mike Huckabee, Planned Parenthood is just trying to distract from  the serious allegations being investigated in Congress that the company  has: failed to report the sexual abuse of minors, given women inaccurate  and misleading information, and mishandled state and federal taxpayer  funds, some of which was exposed by "The Gift Of Life" cast member Lila Rose.
Planned Parenthood tries to hide the realities of abortion behind the  mantle of "women's health," but how does it improve the health of women  to target people like "The Gift Of Life" cast members Rebecca Kiessling  and James Robison for death because they were the product of rape, or  Chet McDoniel because he was born without arms and shortened legs.   Former abortion workers like "The Gift Of Life" cast members Carol  Everett and Dr. Anthony Levatino expose the lie of abortion simply  removing a "clump of cells" and reveal the heartlessness of abortion  clinics.  As U.S. Representative Chris Smith says in "The Gift Of Life,"  "Abortion mills are places of violence, they are not places of healing."  It is no wonder that, according to "The Gift Of Life"  cast  member Kristan Hawkins, the abortion industry is having trouble  recruiting from this generation's medical students.

Washington, DC -- Citizens United President David N. Bossie, issued the following statement in support of Senator Ron Johnson (R-WI) as Vice Chair of the Senate Republican Conference.   

“Voters sent a clear message last year that they wanted to shake up Congress and not rely on the failed status quo,” said David N. Bossie, President of Citizens United.  “Republican Senators would be heeding this message by putting freshman Senator Ron Johnson in a leadership position.  Americans expect fresh ideas and new faces leading in Congress because the old guard has failed to lead when it matters the most.  What the Senate needs most is real leadership and Ron Johnson is the Senator for the job. ”

"I look forward to premiering this great Pro-Life documentary with my good friends in Iowa during the run-up to the Iowa Caucuses," said Governor Mike Huckabee.  "I am proud of this film because it looks at the personal stories of those who have been greatly affected by the scourge of abortion."
"Iowa is the land of strong family values and there is no better place to premiere 'The Gift of Life' than in the Hawkeye State," said David N. Bossie, President of Citizens United.  "Abortion is an issue that must be addressed during this political season and this film lays out the case that every life - born and pre-born - is precious."
"The Gift of Life" also profiles leaders in the Pro-Life movement; those who believe that all other issues pale in comparison to whether we respect and honor others in the same way we want to be treated. Historically, America has been a shining example of a culture that respects life. But with the Roe v. Wade decision, we, as a society, exchanged our sense of responsibility toward human life for a greater heralding of the right to terminate it.
Cast appearing in "The Gift of Life" include: Marjorie Dannenfelser, President of Susan B. Anthony List; Kristan Hawkins, Executive Director of Students for Life of America; James Robison, Founder & President of LIFE Outreach International; Lila Rose, President of Live Action; U.S. Representative Chris Smith (R-NJ); Carol Tobias, President of the National Right to Life Committee; U.S. Senator Roger Wicker (R-MS); Charmaine Yoest, President & CEO of Americans United for Life; as well as a number of others with impactful stories.

Today, on  behalf of over 500,000 members and supporters of Citizens United, I  urged all members of the House of Representatives to vote “YES” on the  upcoming vote on the Cut, Cap, and Balance Act.  All votes on this issue will be considered for Citizens United's 2011 Congressional  Ratings.  This is the fourth vote alert we have issued for our Ratings.   Please see the first two regarding the repeal of Obamacare here and here, and the third on the debt ceiling here.
Please see the full letter to Congress below:


Citizens United’s 2011 Congressional Ratings Vote Alert 4 - House Cut, Cap, Balance

Washington, DC – Today Citizens United President David N. Bossie issued the following statement in support of the “Cut, Cap, and Balance” plan by Republican Study Committee Chairman Jim Jordan (R-OH). 
  

“Citizens United fully endorses the Republican Study Committee’s ‘Cut, Cap, and Balance’ debt ceiling plan,” said David N. Bossie, President of Citizens United.  “America is at a crossroads where the status quo will only worsen America’s debt crisis.  President Obama cannot turn a blind eye anymore to a debt crisis that will put future generations of Americans in peril.  The ‘Cut, Cap, and Balance’ plan will cut the deficit in half by next year, cap spending at 18 percent of Gross Domestic Product, and send a Balanced Budget Amendment to the states for ratification.  This is a real plan for success, and a step in the right direction when it comes to fiscal discipline.  President Obama has been in office for two-and-a-half years without really addressing this serious issue.  I hope all members of the Republican Conference sign onto the ‘Cut, Cap, and Balance’ plan. ”
