Planned Parenthood is the nation’s largest abortion provider. It is also facing the real possibility that it will lose it annual taxpayer funding of a half of billion dollars each year.

Students for Life have come up with a creative campaign to focus attention on the destruction that Planned Parenthood leaves in its wake. They want to collect 329,999 baby socks to illustrate the number of abortions Planned Parenthood performed in 2015.

Recently I had Kristan Hawkins on my radio program to talk about their new campaign called #SockIt2PP. They are asking pro-life people from around the country to buy a pair of baby socks. They want you to send in one baby sock and pin the other baby sock to your clothes. She said that many pro-life students have been pinning a sock to their backpacks in order to start more conversations about the pro-life issue.

Planned Parenthood is already dealing with lots of negative publicity. They are facing a dozen criminal referrals by committees in the U.S. House and Senate. Much of this is due to the many videos that have been released showing people selling baby body parts. And there are other videos showing how some have been covering up child rape and abuse.

Although the Hyde Amendment prohibits federal funds from paying for most abortions, it doesn’t prevent federal funds for paying for abortionist salaries for non-abortion work, medical equipment, advertising, and other staff salaries. Funds may not be going directly for abortions, but they are paying for just about everything else in a Planned Parenthood clinic.

Students for Life plan to collect the 329,999 baby socks and then take them to Washington and display them. I encourage you to help them use this visual reminder to members of Congress.
