Ted Cruz calls on 100,000 pastors to demand the defunding of Planned Parenthood
Republican presidential hopeful Ted Cruz is calling on 100,000 Christian pastors to help marshal support for defunding Planned Parenthood.
“We cannot allow this to continue,” Cruz says of Planned Parenthood’s fetal organ harvesting, in a video message announcing the initiative. “Only our pastors and church leaders have enough influence to put a stop to this holocaust.”
In a letter sent to pastors across the country, printed in full at CBN News, Cruz asks them “to confront this evil in our nation by praying and preaching with an unbridled passion until funding for Planned Parenthood ends, and this barbaric practice is purged from the land,” then invites them to the following:
Dear Reader,
Every day in America, more than 2,800 preborn babies lose their lives to abortion.
That number should break our hearts and move us to action.
Ending this tragedy requires daily commitment from people like you who refuse to stay silent.
Millions read Live Action News each month — imagine the impact if each of us took a stand for life 365 days a year.

CBN reports that Cruz also directed the 100,000 pastors to a sermon outline for notes, Bible verses, and points on crafting messages for their congregations, to mobilize churchgoers into petitioning their elected representatives to stand for life.
As Live Action News has previously reported, Ted Cruz has been a fierce critic of Planned Parenthood, pledging to open a criminal investigation into the abortion giant if elected president, and declaring that congressional Republicans must be willing to risk a government shutdown over defunding the group. His voting record in the U.S. Senate has received 100 percent ratings from National Right to Life Committee and 0 percent ratings from Planned Parenthood Action Fund and NARAL Pro-Choice America.
