Congresswoman: Take Away Planned Parenthood’s Government Funding, Tax-Exempt Status

It’s time to stop government funding and tax breaks for “Big Abortion.” That’s the message from U.S. Rep. Michele Bachman, R.-Minn.

Speaking at the Family Research Council Values Voter Summit on September 12, Bachman detailed how Planned Parenthood – a controversial non-profit “family planning” organization that reportedly performed 289,750 abortions in 2006 – has expanded significantly. She cited a June 23 Wall Street Journal article by Stephanie Simon that revealed 501(c)3 organization had a record $1 billion in annual revenue in a recent financial report.

“I got a call from my husband one morning that said, ‘Michele, take a look at the front page of The Wall Street Journal,” Bachman said. “There was an exposé talking about how Planned Parenthood revenue’s last year were $1 billion. One billion dollars.”

About time. And my question is why didn’t this happen when we had a Republican President and a GOP Congress?

Called her office to support her. We should call and let her know she has friends... because the left and their allies in the media are sure going to make her feel otherwise!

How about making it a check-off box on the ballot every Presidential election? Let the people truly decide if they want to fund the murder of unborn children.

Unless America turns from her wicked, nay evil, ways, we can expect increasingly damaging storms of all varieties, for God has had enough of our murder of innocents, and our blatant rebellion against His Ten Commandments,

Conservatives have been talking about Abortion since 1973. The Left claims it’s simply a fantastical “wedge” issue - it gets conservatives out to the ballet box, but Republicans have, in fact, done little to reduce the prevelance and availability of abortion.

I for one would like to see more results vs. rhetoric.

Take away their money. Yea right. That is going to happen, NOT.

Why not try for PBS while your at it?

Not as long as we have all those Dems around. They are feeding on both.

I will contact her and my own state reps to join with her—of course, claire mckill will not listen, but at least she’ll know I didn’t vote for her.

Me too. But while they are cutting bad things, please cut the ACLU subsidy to zero. Thank you.

I attended a seminar once somewhere where a fellow said that the Republicans will never seriously try to end the abortion issue because it gives them something like an automatic 16% advantage at election on that single issue alone.

I think the money that has been going to Planned Parenthood should go to organizations to assist girls who do have there babies, and teach them to put them up for adoption, instead of drowning them in school bathroom toilets, burning them in microwave ovens, leaving them in hot cars to die....Many girls have been taught abortion is okay, so I assume they think if they have the baby (They never wanted) it still has no value and they treat them like some trash they found on the ground....

Girls should be taught the Joy of Adoption if they don’t want a unwanted child....

“We, the people” should not be required to support abortions.

You know what the easiest way to make Abortions safe accessible legal and rare- very rare?

Pass a law that makes it illegal for a physician to accept money, gifts or charge a fee when they provide abortion services.

As part of the same law make it illegal for abortion mills to accept money or charge fees to any woman desiring an abortion.
