TITUSVILLE, FL -- Priests for Life National Director Frank Pavone had praise for incoming President Donald Trump and condemnation for outgoing President Joe Biden today.
“It is nothing short of outrageous that Biden has chosen to bestow the highest civilian honor, the Presidential Medal of Freedom, on Cecile Richards, former CEO for Planned Parenthood. Since 1963 the award has been given to people who have made exceptional contributions to national security, world peace or American culture. Richards, on the other hand, oversaw the execution of 3.5 million babies during her 12-year tenure. She does not deserve this, or any, honor.
“But on the heels of this announcement came another that was very welcome indeed. The new Department of Government Efficiency to be headed by Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy – both of whom addressed the gathering I was privileged to attend last week at Mar-a-Lago - has announced plans to examine why groups like Planned Parenthood receive $300 million in taxpayer funding. Americans do not want to pay for other people’s abortions and defunding Planned Parenthood is a necessary first step in ensuring that they no longer have to.”
