Audio of IRS Agent Telling Pro Life Group to ‘Keep Your Faith to Yourself’

[vimeo 67822932]

A pro-life legal group, Alliance Defending Freedom, released an audio recording of a 2012 phone call between an IRS agent and the head of a Texas pregnancy counseling group. During the phone call, the IRS agent understood to be Sherry Wan is heard lambasting Ania Joseph about how she can’t have a tax exemption and also push her religious beliefs, despite every church in America being under 501(c)4 tax-exempt status.

In March 2012, Ania Joseph received a call from IRS Exempt Organization Specialist Sherry Wan, who told her that Pro-Life Revolution cannot “force” its religion or beliefs on anyone else. Wan inaccurately told Joseph that the organization must remain neutral on positions such as abortion in order to qualify for a tax exemption. The IRS has approved applications for tax exemption for pro-abortion groups such as Planned Parenthood and Life and Liberty for Women.
