Senate to sidestep abortion fight in funding bill

Judge and former Miss America Vanessa Williams asked Robison: “Should Planned Parenthood funding be cut off?” The building is owned by local real estate agent Susan Balfour, who is one of the region’s most-outspoken anti-abortion activists.

“We are just looking for a prayerful, peaceful experience”, O’Brien said. Which is a completely insane conspiracy theory when you think about it. If that is their scheme, they are awful business people, because the money they “get” for those donations literally only covers the cost of donating them.

A kickoff rally, featuring a make-your-own sundae event, is scheduled from 6 to 8 p.m. Tuesday at the Open Arms Pregnancy Center.

A major counter-protest is planned for September 29, which is being pegged as “National Pinkout Day”.

“It misrepresents practices in unrelated Planned Parenthood affiliates in other states and does not relate in any way to Planned Parenthood Southeast”, Cohen said.

The Republican bill would set criminal penalties of up to five years in prison for doctors who perform most abortions 20 weeks or more into pregnancy.

Kim Atkins, chief executive officer of Planned Parenthood Mohawk Hudson, was at the Glens Falls facility Friday to help prepare for the upcoming protests. “This is really shocking, because in no other circumstance would we restrict medical care until the patient is at risk of death”.

The measure stripping the organization of its funding for a year would result in savings of $235 million, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell said today, which will be redirected to community health centers. “This is about women’s access to cancer screenings and birth control and STD testing and treatment”, Fox said. She says Murkowski returns to Washington Wednesday night, in time for the Pope’s address to Congress on Thursday. “They need to actually do what they were sent to Congress to do”.

Planned Parenthood, a non-profit group, has been under fire for weeks after secretly taped videos produced by an anti-abortion group recorded Planned Parenthood officials discussing the use of fetal tissue harvested from abortions.

“The videos have been all over the place”, O’Brien said. I want to defund Planned Parenthood.

Angie Remington, a spokeswoman for Planned Parenthood of the Heartland, issued a statement saying the organization remains focused on providing high-quality health care, education and family planning services to women and men, no matter what.

Dozens of Representatives have pledged to oppose any funding bill that continues its support for Planned Parenthood and Sen.

Senate Democrats blocked Republican legislation Tuesday that would prohibit most late-term abortions, the second time since this summer’s release of videos involving Planned Parenthood that they’ve derailed an abortion-related drive by the GOP. It should sicken every American that our elected leaders refuse to protect the most vulnerable in our society, even when science has proven that at just 20 weeks old, children in the womb can feel the intense pain of the abortionists’ tools tearing their arms and legs from their bodies.

Planned Parenthood of the Heartland has said about 26 percent of its Iowa financing, or almost $2.7 million a year, comes from public sources. Practically none of the federal money can be used for abortions.

Both Johnson and radio host Vicki McKenna praised Republican presidential candidate Carly Fiorina for challenging Democrats at the CNN debate earlier this month to watch “sting” videos about Planned Parenthood that were produced by an anti-abortion group.
