IRS Tells Pro-Life Group To “Know Your Boundaries”

A pro-life organization has released a recording of an IRS agent telling them that they have to remain neutral on the issue of abortion and then attacked the president of group for “forcing” religious beliefs on others.

“You have to know your boundaries,” IRS agent Sherry Wan told the president of Pro-Life Revolution. “You have to know your limits. You have to respect other people’s beliefs.”

“It appears that some of your activities, conducted or plan to conduct, may be neither educational nor charitable in nature no matter how sincere of your religious belief or how important of your viewpoint,” Wan continued. She specifically told them she had issues with the group’s prayer and evangelization at abortion clinics.

The Alliance Defending Freedom, who has been working with the group in their two-year long battle to gain tax-exempt status, said the actions of the IRS agent were clearly unconstitutional.

“The IRS is a tax collector; it shouldn’t be allowed to be the speech and belief police,” Erik Stanley of the ADF said. “The agent seemed to be very biased and have an ideological bent against Pro-Life Revolution.”

One of the most shocking things was the agent telling the group they can’t speak to women.

“You reach out to a woman, you can’t do that,” Wan said.
