Vulnerable Senators Targeted Over Planned Parenthood Votes

WASHINGTON,-- Today, the Susan B. Anthony List (SBA List) announced it will target Sens. Bob Casey (D-PA), Ben Nelson (D-NE) and Claire McCaskill (D-MO) to educate constituents about their senator's vote in support of taxpayer funding of Planned Parenthood. The campaign will kick off with targeted radio ads featuring testimony from former Planned Parenthood Clinic Director Abby Johnson and asks constituents to contact their senator to voice disapproval over his or her vote. "Votes have consequences, especially for politicians who say one thing at home and do another in Washington when it comes to protecting Life," said SBA List President Marjorie Dannenfelser. "As self-described 'pro-life' Democrats, Sens. Nelson and Casey betrayed their constituents by voting for taxpayer funding of Planned Parenthood. Claire McCaskill, a supposed 'moderate,' will have a hard time justifying to her constituents why she voted to continue giving their tax dollars to America's largest abortion provider during a time of fiscal crisis. Funding an organization that flaunts federal law and cares nothing for the safety of women and young girls makes no fiscal sense, especially at a time when our country is in fiscal peril.
