The socks have been collected as a result of their campaign to collect 323,999 socks \u2013 representative of the babies killed in 2015 (the latest numbers available) by the nation\u2019s largest abortion provider, Planned Parenthood.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/sockit2pp.com\/\">According to the Sockit2PP website<\/a>:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Planned Parenthood is facing the very real risk of being stripped of nearly half a billion dollars a year they currently receive from taxpayers. While the battle rages on the federal level, pro-life millennials at Students for Life of America creatively brainstormed a plan to allow high school and college students to get involved. What they came up with? A nationwide campaign called #sockit2PP to demonstrate the destruction that Planned Parenthood leaves in its wake. After the rally was over the 323,999 baby socks were delivered to Speaker of the House Paul Ryan\u2019s office. As part of the campaign, the same number of socks are being worn by pro-life supporters on their shirts, bags, backpacks, etc., to show their support for defunding Planned Parenthood.<br \/>\nThe campaign was inspired by a tiny baby sock which was pinned to the backpack of a pro life Students for Life college group member. Kristan Hawkins, Founder and President of Students for Life, realized the visual symbol could become a powerful national rallying cry.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>The campaign has reached half its goal in numbers of socks, but decided to hold a rally outside of the United States Capitol now in spite of not yet quite reaching their final goal.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think it\u2019s really important to create visual for people to see,\u201d Missy Stone, National Field Director for Students for Life told California Family Council. \u201c323,999 is a lot more than people anticipate. People just don\u2019t understand, people say that number flippantly.\u201d Missy noted that when people hear just a number it doesn\u2019t really resonate but when they get a visual of 190,000 empty infant socks, it gives people an idea of the awful reality of how many abortions are truly happening.<\/p>\n<p>Missy said that the campaign created a very real way of providing the pro life generation a channel with which to generate a national message to Congress that enough is enough. That it\u2019s time to defund Planned Parenthood now.<\/p>\n<p>Kristan Hawkins, President of Students for Life, told California Family Council\u00a0about the effects the demonstration had on people who were walking by as the display was being set up in preparation for the rally. \u201cI was telling them and their jaws dropped because this is the [visual] reality of what happens when we don\u2019t defund Planned Parenthood,\u201d Hawkins passionately told California Family Council\u00a0in an interview before the rally. Hawkins noted that the socks on display were only a representation of roughly half of the babies who are aborted evey year by Planned Parenthood. This is the reality of the GOP not acting to defund Planned Parenthood and we are here today letting them know we expect them to hold to your word to defund Planned Parenthood, remarked Hawkins.<\/p>\n<p>The rally featured various speakers such as Alison Howard, Director of Alliance Relations for Alliance Defending Freedom; Sue Thayer, former abortion facility director; and U.S. Senator Ben Sasse. During the rally, Sue Thayer noted that \u201cwe still have a lot of work to do. Think of what we could do with the 500 million dollars we funnel into Planned Parenthood [instead] in the hands of pregnancy care centers,\u201d she concluded.<\/p>\n<p>Various young high school and college students also spoke briefly. Purity Thomas, a young teen, collected over 1,000 baby socks for the initiative by herself.\u201d She told the story of her sister who became pregnant at 19 years of age, but dropped out of college and the National Guard to carry and raise her child, who is now three years old. \u201cThis organization\u2019s workers \u2018have to hit the gym\u2019 in order to crush the skulls of preborn boys, and girls. This is a[n] organization that kills our brothers and sisters,\u201d she recounted, urging students to get involved in spreading the pro life message. \u201cHow as a nation have we allowed this?\u201d she lamented, \u201cPlanned Parenthood, you\u2019re done! This is the time in our country when we need to stand up and look in the face of Planned Parenthood and say enough is enough,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/liveaction.org\/petition\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-160409\" src=\"http:\/\/www.liveaction.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/DefundAd-400b-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"400\" height=\"170\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u201cAmerica exists to fight for the most vulnerable,\u201d stated Senator Ben Sasse. It shouldn\u2019t be a Republican or a Democratic proposition, but a human proposition. The first thing we are trying to do is to persuade our brothers and sisters to look at the gift of life and look at the glories of what is actually happening inside the womb, and tell the truth about how each baby has dignity remarked Sasse. \u201cThis picture that you\u2019re trying to create today is another special way to tell the story of what we\u2019re about, because what we are about is about love, what we are about is about neighborly-ness, what we\u2019re about is about dignity,\u201d Sasse finished.<\/p>\n<p>Emily Brown, the Youth Director at American Life League, reminded the audience that Planned Parenthood is on the defense right now. \u201cThe pro life generation is stronger than ever before,\u201d Brown said.<\/p>\n<p>Deanna Wallace, Staff Counsel for Americans United for Life, posed the question, \u201cPlanned Parenthood markets themselves as \u2018care no matter what\u2019 but what kind of care are they actually giving women?\u201d Wallace then cited multiple health violations such as failing to ensure a safe and sanitary environment, failing to document and protect patient recordings, failing to properly train staff, failing to dispose of expired medications and supplies, and failure to comply with health measures like making sure a gurney can reach a patient if she goes into distress. \u201cIt\u2019s \u2026 important to remember that this \u2018care\u2019 [Planned Parenthood] is offering to women is not care at all. They are endangering women every day, and women deserve better!\u201d Wallace stated emphatically.<\/p>\n<p>To wrap up the rally, Kristan Hawkins introduced Maddi Runkles, an eighteen year old student at Heritage Academy in Hagerstown, Maryland. \u201cI\u2019m eighteen years old, I\u2019m really sorry if I cry\u201d she interjected. \u201cI\u2019m eighteen years old and I found out back in January that I was pregnant,\u201d Runkles revealed. Runkles told how she is a senior in high school with her whole life ahead of her. She admitted she did consider abortion briefly because she believed the lies that Planned Parenthood tells girls like her. Lies like \u2018you can\u2019t do it, you can\u2019t accomplish your dreams, your whole life is ruined, now you will never accomplish your goals.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI look at all these socks and that could have been my baby, but I choose to let my baby wear these socks. I know it\u2019s going to be hard, I know it\u2019s going to be really hard to still accomplish all my goals and all my dreams,\u201d Runkles said, her voice shaking with emotion. \u201cBut I get to have a little guy following right next to me and we get to do it together,\u201d she said. Girls like me are perfect targets for Planned Parenthood, noted Runkles. Planned Parenthood ironically claims to be all about women\u2019s rights, Runkles said, but added that she couldn\u2019t think of anything less empowering than telling a woman that she couldn\u2019t do it. \u201cI chose life for my baby and I chose not to believe the lies that Planned Parenthood told me. Congress needs to defund Planned Parenthood and take all their tax money away,\u201d Runkles concluded.<\/p>\n<p>The #sockitPP rally was a sobering yet encouraging demonstration. A voice for the voiceless. With more creative displays of this nature, one day soon Planned Parenthood will be defunded.<\/p>\n<p><em>Editor&#8217;s Note: This article was originally published by the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.californiafamily.org\/2017\/students-for-life-of-america-holds-sockit2pp-rally-outside-us-capitol\/\">California Family Council<\/a> on April 26, 2017, and is reprinted here with permission.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>(California Family Council) The #sockit2PP campaign was started by Students for Life in March with the intent of creating a simultaneously impressive and shocking visual appeal while also sending a clear message to Congress \u2013 that now is the time to defund Planned Parenthood.
