Video entries must be under 5 minutes long and should explain why Congress must de-fund Planned Parenthood of its $363 million in taxpayer subsidies. The deadline for entry is Monday, March 7th at midnight. The top video will win a $1000 prize, a runner-up will receive $500, and Third Prize will receive a <a href=\"http:\/\/survivors.la\/training-camp.asp\">Survivors Pro-Life Training Camp Scholarship<\/a> ($400 value).<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAmerica\u2019s youth see the corruption inside Planned Parenthood and the abortion industry,\u201d said Live Action president Lila Rose. \u201cVisual media is a powerful tool to expose the injustice of abortion from Planned Parenthood\u2019s aiding and abetting of sex trafficking to its violent destruction of the ultimate victim of abortion, the unborn child. This generation is eager to use visual media to communicate the truth about abortion.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Kristan Hawkins, Executive Director of Students for Life of America (SFLA), says the contest helps show that America\u2019s future is pro-life: \u201cA majority of Americans are now pro-life, and this is in large part because of a new pro-life generation of young people speaking up for the victims of abortion who cannot speak for themselves. This generation will see the end of abortion in America, and they want to get started right now \u2013 de-funding Planned Parenthood, the nation\u2019s largest abortion provider.
