---------------------------------------------------------------------------- >From the http://washingtonexaminer.com *May 15, 2013 | 2:40 pm | Modified: May 16, 2013 at 9:35 am* Report: IRS <http://www.irs.gov> denied tax-exempt status<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tax_exemption>to pro-lifers on behalf of Planned Parenthood <http://www.plannedparenthood.org/> IRS officials refused to grant tax exempt status to two pro-life<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_pro-life_movement>organizations because of their position on the abortion issue, according to a non-profit law firm, which said that one group was pressured not to protest a pro-choice organization that endorsed President Obama<http://www.barackobama.com>during the last election. “In one case, the IRS withheld approval of an application for tax exempt status for Coalition for Life of Iowa<http://maps.google.com/maps?ll=42.0,-93.0&spn=3.0,3.0&q=42.0,-93.0%20(Iowa)&t=h>. In a phone call to Coalition for Life of Iowa leaders on June 6, 2009, the IRS agent ‘Ms. Richards’ told the group to send a letter to the IRS with the entire board’s signatures stating that, under perjury of the law, they do not picket/protest or organize groups to picket or protest outside of Planned Parenthood,” the Thomas More Society announced today<https://www.thomasmoresociety.org/2013/05/15/broadening-irs-victims-include-pro-life-advocates-as-congress-investigates/>. “Once the IRS received this letter, their application would be approved.” Planned Parenthood endorsed Obama in 2008 and 2012. The IRS also pressured another pro-life group about its religious activities. “The IRS withheld approval of an application for charitable tax-exempt recognition of Christian Voices for Life, questioning the group’s involvement with ’40 Days for Life<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/40_Days_for_Life>’ and ‘Life Chain <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Life_Chain>’ events,” according to the law firm. “The Fort Bend County, Texas<http://maps.google.com/maps?ll=29.53,-95.77&spn=1.0,1.0&q=29.53,-95.77%20(Fort%20Bend%20County%2C%20Texas)&t=h>, organization was subjected to repeated and lengthy unconstitutional requests for information about the viewpoint and content of its educational communications, volunteer prayer vigils, and other protected activities.” The IRS admitted last week to that some members of the agency targeted Tea Party groups for discriminatory reviews of their applications for tax-exempt status. The Justice Department has initiated a criminal investigation into the matter. just thinking out loud, but that DOESN'T seem fair. http://washingtonexaminer.com/report-irs-denied-tax-exempt-status-to-pro-lifers-on-behalf-of-planned-parenthood/article/2529750 *Steve <http://fellowshipofminds.wordpress.com/author/stungunsandmace/>*| May 16, 2013 at 10:02 am | Tags: 40 Days for Life <http://fellowshipofminds.wordpress.com/?tag=40-days-for-life>, Internal Revenue Service<http://fellowshipofminds.wordpress.com/?tag=internal-revenue-service>, Iowa <http://fellowshipofminds.wordpress.com/?tag=iowa>, IRS<http://fellowshipofminds.wordpress.com/?tag=irs>, Life Chain <http://fellowshipofminds.wordpress.com/?tag=life-chain>, Planned Parenthood <http://fellowshipofminds.wordpress.com/?tag=planned-parenthood>, tax exemption <http://fellowshipofminds.wordpress.com/?tag=tax-exemption>, Thomas More Society<http://fellowshipofminds.wordpress.com/?tag=thomas-more-society>| Categories: 2012 Election <http://fellowshipofminds.wordpress.com/?cat=4934384>, 2014 Election <http://fellowshipofminds.wordpress.com/?cat=44872111>, abortion<http://fellowshipofminds.wordpress.com/?cat=13538>, Christians/Christianity<http://fellowshipofminds.wordpress.com/?cat=111409284>, Congress <http://fellowshipofminds.wordpress.com/?cat=4308>, Conservatives<http://fellowshipofminds.wordpress.com/?cat=35268289>, conspiracy <http://fellowshipofminds.wordpress.com/?cat=11808>, Constitution<http://fellowshipofminds.wordpress.com/?cat=29050>, Culture War <http://fellowshipofminds.wordpress.com/?cat=20812>, Evil<http://fellowshipofminds.wordpress.com/?cat=35821819>, First Amendment <http://fellowshipofminds.wordpress.com/?cat=51156>, God<http://fellowshipofminds.wordpress.com/?cat=7816>, God's creation <http://fellowshipofminds.wordpress.com/?cat=354016>, Health Care <http://fellowshipofminds.wordpress.com/?cat=20052>, Insanity<http://fellowshipofminds.wordpress.com/?cat=29635004>, Liberals/Democrats/Left<http://fellowshipofminds.wordpress.com/?cat=115894710>, Media <http://fellowshipofminds.wordpress.com/?cat=292>, Obama<http://fellowshipofminds.wordpress.com/?cat=376320>, Obama's America <http://fellowshipofminds.wordpress.com/?cat=12285619>, persecution <http://fellowshipofminds.wordpress.com/?cat=79343>, Pro-Life<http://fellowshipofminds.wordpress.com/?cat=27827>, United States <http://fellowshipofminds.wordpress.com/?cat=5850>, US Presidents <http://fellowshipofminds.wordpress.com/?cat=51656283> | URL: http://wp.me/pKuKY-lHu Comment<http://fellowshipofminds.wordpress.com/2013/05/16/lets-see-who-else-the-i-r-s-picked-on/#respond> See all comments<http://fellowshipofminds.wordpress.com/2013/05/16/lets-see-who-else-the-i-r-s-picked-on/#comments> Unsubscribe or change your email settings at Manage Subscriptions<https://subscribe.wordpress.com/?key=80d8873ee52adffe4e178d01c25562cf&email=goosepickles%40gmail.com>. *Trouble clicking?* Copy and paste this URL into your browser: http://fellowshipofminds.wordpress.com/2013/05/16/lets-see-who-else-the-i-r-s-picked-on/ Thanks for flying with WordPress.com <http://wordpress.com> -- -- Thanks for being part of "PoliticalForum" at Google Groups.
