House Votes to End Funds for Planned Parenthood

Labels: » » » »
The House of Representatives has voted to end federal funding of Planned Parenthood:
The vote was 240-185 with 11 Democrats voting for the amendment, and seven Republicans voting against. One member voted present. A group of Republicans on the floor applauded when the vote hit 218.
That amendment managed to suck up three hours of often emotional debate time Thursday night, which is a big part of the reason the health care law defunding votes got pushed into today.
Pence, of Indiana, touched off a vicious back-and-forth Thursday night in which Republicans insisted the organization is too aggressive about performing abortions and several Democrats charged that the GOP was waging a “war on women.”
Never mind that Planned Parenthood has been preying on women for decades.
It’s about time federal funding was ended, regardless of the politics behind it.
