Congress voted to bar Planned Parenthood from federal funding — but your representative stood with us.
Thank Rep. McDermott for voting against the bill to strip funding from Planned Parenthood health centers.
Last week, the House of Representatives passed the most outrageous — and dangerous — legislative attack on Planned Parenthood in our history.
It was a frightening show of just how far extreme anti-choice members of Congress are willing to go in their effort to eliminate Planned Parenthood health centers as a source of primary and preventive health care. While this bill poses an incredible threat to women’s health, and must be stopped in the Senate, it’s good to know that we have true allies in the House.
Your representative, Rep. McDermott , was one of the leaders who stood with us by voting against this horrific legislation. Please, take a moment to thank Rep. McDermott for voting to protect women’s health.
As we continue to fight against this and other attacks on Planned Parenthood, we need members of Congress to maintain their steadfast support. It’s important to show our allies that we appreciate their efforts to stand up for Planned Parenthood.

You know it as well as I do: this push to bar Planned Parenthood from federal funding is not an isolated incident. Planned Parenthood has been the target of persistent attacks for 95 years, and nothing — nothing — has stopped us from fighting to protect and promote women’s health every day. The only way we’ve been able to stand strong is with the unwavering support of people like you — and with the help of allies like Rep. McDermott .
Please let your representative know how much you appreciate this vote to protect Planned Parenthood and women’s health.
I want you to know that we are not done fighting this outrageous bill. We’ll be looking to you in the days ahead as this legislation moves to the Senate. I know we can stop it — and we must.
Thank you for your support and your determination, and for everything you do for the women, men, and teens who rely on Planned Parenthood every day.
Sincerely,
Be a Seed for Change
