Dear blog reader,
The irresponsible liberals, for the sanctity and protection of human life, in the senate worked hard to make sure that Planned Parenthood got fully funded again. This action is repulsive, especially in wake of the recent scandals which have shown the very deceptive nature of the people who direct and operate this sleazy organization that promotes and facilitates the terrible practice of abortion.
Again, a valiant effort was made by the house led by Mike Pence (R-Indiana), to defund this organization but it died in the US senate. But there is still hope. Please check out the article below that shows how the AUL, Americans United for Life, are still working hard to get the American tax payer out of the abortion business. We solute their valiant efforts to remedy this improper use of the hard earned money taken from the American tax payer for something the vast majority do not support (see below)!!! You might want to consider a donation to the UAL. Look them up on Google.
Please check out the details below for more of the story:
“This week, the U.S. Senate rejected the Continuing Resolution passed by the House, which cut the one-third of a billion dollars the federal government currently gives to the nation’s largest abortion provider: Planned Parenthood. The majority of the Senate is poised to add abortion dollars back to its version of the budget even after the House voted to cut such funding. While the matter failed in the Senate, the effort to cut funding to Planned Parenthood passed with bipartisan support in the House, through an amendment from Representative Mike Pence (R-IN) to the Fiscal Year 2011 Budget, to H.R. 1, the long-term Continuing Resolution.
But that is not the end of the matter.
As legislators wrestle with the fact that more than 70 percent of Americans – pro-life and pro-choice – do not want their tax dollars to pay for abortions, many are beginning to ask a key question: With more than $360 million tax dollars to spend, what does the abortion industry really do with the money?
To find out more at the state level, AUL,( Americans United for Life ), has produced and distributed Joint Resolutions calling for the investigation and defunding of Planned Parenthood and other abortion providers on a state and local level. And AUL has drafted model legislation that would require clinics to be regulated for the safety of the women who go there for services.
At the federal level, AUL has called on Congress to freeze Planned Parenthood’s currently-allocated federal funding and hold hearings to investigate Planned Parenthood and other abortion providers’ consistent disregard for women and girls’ health and safety and for the law.
AUL President and CEO Dr. Charmaine Yoest noted, “Planned Parenthood’s legacy is a sordid one of ruined lives and deceptive, politically-motivated actions. AUL is working hard to ensure Americans’ tax dollars do not line the pockets of an organization which has a pattern and practice of failing to safeguard women’s rights and health.”
Getting the American taxpayer out of the abortion business continues to be an AUL push as Congress looks for ways to cut the size and scope of government. To sign a letter to your member of Congress calling for an end to the federal funding of the Nation’s largest abortion provider, click here.
But Planned Parenthood and the abortion lobby will not go quietly.”
