Senate vote to block federal funding to Planned Parenthood fails

Thus far, CMP has released five secretly taped interviews with Planned Parenthood officials that reveal possible illegal activity in obtaining and selling aborted baby body parts.

“There’s ample reason to think that this is merely the tried and true tactic that we have seen from some extremists on the right to edit this video and selectively release an edited version of the video that grossly distorts the position of the person who is actually speaking on the video“, Earnest recently said. “Joe Donnelly. Manchin has previously supported restrictions on abortion – and is up for re-election next year in a conservative state“. What about the muddled majority who support abortion in some circumstances but feel uncomfortable about the practices described in the videos?

The U.S. Senate was scheduled to vote on defunding the organization Monday.

New Hampshire’s Republican-led Executive Council rejected $639,000 in state funding for Planned Parenthood along party lines Wednesday amid a renewed national debate over whether the organization should receive public money. But consider: Defunding Planned Parenthood would inevitably result in more un-planned pregnancies and therefore more abortions, not fewer. The videos have been especially controversial because of the casual descriptions by the Planned Parenthood officials of the abortion procedures they use to obtain tissue, and because some of the videos show close-ups of fetal organs in laboratories. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., a presidential candidate, was in New Hampshire and missed the vote.

Linton said Planned Parenthood Gulf Coast in Texas has participated in fetal tissue donation programs in the past and has helped with research projects with groups like the University of Texas Medical Branch.

Stung by past government shutdowns that voters have blamed on Republicans, GOP leaders have shown no interest in another one this fall.

Farrell also reveals that some of the doctors working at the Planned Parenthood clinic are collecting samples of fetal tissue for their own research.

“It would be much less emotional for everyone if we just funded community health centers and didn’t fund Planned Parenthood“, Paul said. “I’m tempted to say there they go again”, Sen. You can have women’s health or you can have an organization that takes care of women’s health, without having the number one abortion provider who speaks so callously over lunch about the harvesting of unborn children. Planned Parenthood Federation of America implemented a nationwide bus tour, dubbed the “Truth Tour”, wherein it advertised various statistics and health data related to Planned Parenthood’s services. Its annual report says it provides services for 2.7 million people annually, mostly women, with abortions accounting for 3 percent. Supporters of Planned Parenthood claim that federal aid is not used for abortions except in very specific cases, such as rape, incest, or when performing an abortion protects the life of the mother.
