Planned Parenthood (AKA MURDERHOOD) Recieves 46% of It's Money from Government--Stop it

"Planned Parenthood's X Factor

903. That's how many children are aborted by Planned Parenthood every single day. That's one baby--one unique, God-created life and future--erased every 96 seconds. In 800 clinics across America, the body count keeps growing--thanks in part to the staggering amount of money that Congress is funneling to Cecile Richards's group. Americans have known for years that their government is a major shareholder in the international abortion business. What they didn't know--until recently--was how much Planned Parenthood relies on unwilling taxpayers to keep their grisly operation afloat.

Based on its annual report, Richards's group rakes in almost half of its budget (46%) from federal, state, and local grants. The government's contributions are a whopping $487.4 million, mostly from Title X funds. Of course, Planned Parenthood is quick to point out that, by law, none of those dollars can directly finance abortions. But by paying the clinics' other bills--like overhead--there's no telling how many millions of dollars the government is freeing up for Planned Parenthood to pursue the darkest side of its business.

And, as of New Year's Day, abstaining from abortion is no longer an option for Richards's clinics. In its words, "...[Planned Parenthood Federation of America] does not provide abortion care itself, but its member affiliates offer that service throughout the United States , and as of January 2013, all member-affiliates will be required to do so."

That makes what Representative Diane Black (R-Tenn.) is proposing all the more important. Today, the Tennessee Congresswoman introduced a bill that would stop HHS from wiring 'family planning funds' to abortion businesses under Title X unless they certify that they won't provide or refer for abortions. That eliminates Planned Parenthood altogether, now that Richards is ordering affiliates to offer the procedure. Representative Black, who led this fight as far back as 2011, is hoping to build on the support her former colleague, Governor Mike Pence, won for the legislation in previous Congresses.

Obviously, Planned Parenthood isn't the only abortion company that receives Title X funds, but it's certainly the largest. And since abortion still makes up a jaw-dropping 91% of Planned Parenthood's services for pregnant women, it's time for Congress to put some meaningful distance between taxpayers and the Left's 'health care.' You can help by contacting your representative and asking him to co-sponsor Rep. Black's Title X Abortion Provider Prohibition Act.

I would expect the House of Representatives to pass this. The question is the Senate where similar bills were not even brought up for a vote. Although we must encourage the House to pass it, we must target Senators and let them know that a vote must occur and their vote will be made public. According to polls, a majority of voters support defunding Planned MURDERHOOD. We must also continue to put pressure on State and local governments to defund Planned MURDERHOOD. And, when a State is challenged in federal court we must insist that the court case BEGINS in the Supreme Court as required by the Constitution of the United States.

Article III, Section 2, Paragraph 2

 "In all Cases affecting Ambassadors, other public Ministers and Consuls, and those in which a State shall be Party, the supreme Court shall have original Jurisdiction." (My use of red--my addition)

It can be successful IF the people are outspoken that the Constitution be followed as written!
