Republicans Mark Kirk and Susan Collins Will Oppose Senate Bill to De-Fund Planned Parenthood

Despite four horrific videos showing Planned Parenthood doctors potentially breaking the law to sell the body parts of aborted babies, two Republicans say they will oppose the bill next week that will de-fund Planned Parenthood and stop it from receiving taxpayer funds.

After three shocking videos caught Planned Parenthood doctors discussing and arranging the sale of body parts of aborted babies, a fourth video has been released today catching a Planned Parenthood vice president discussing how Planned Parenthood how to break or get around the law to sell aborted babies. The video also shows a Planned Parenthood doctor shouting, “Another boy” while she sifts through the body parts of the aborted baby.

After negotiations between pro-life members of the Senate, a new bill has been introduced that will totally de-fund the Planned Parenthood abortion business.But two Republicans say they will not support it:

Sen. Mark Kirk (R-Ill.) on Wednesday indicated he’ll oppose a bill backed by Republican leadership to defund Planned Parenthood. As The Hill reports:

Kirk is up for reelection next year and is a top Democratic target.

“In other states tissue donation programs should be investigated but in Illinois there is no similar program,” Kirk said in a statement to The Hill. “I do not plan to cut access to basic health care and contraception for women, the majority of whom have no other resources.”

Kirk is the second Republican senator to indicate opposition to the bill.

“I’m still looking at the bill, but if it is an immediate defunding of Planned Parenthood before we have more facts in, then I would likely oppose the amendment,” Sen. Susan Collins (R-Maine) told reporters Wednesday.

ACTION: Contact Senator Mark Kirk at (202) 224-2854 or http://www.kirk.senate.gov/?p=contact and contact Susan Collins at (202) 224-2523 or www.collins.senate.gov/public/index.cfm/email

SIGN THE PETITION! Congress Must De-Fund Planned Parenthood Immediately

Following pro-life Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell’s announcement of a working group, Senator Joni Ernst and Senators Rand Paul and James Lankford, along with 21 cosponsors, introduced legislation to protect women’s health and defund Planned Parenthood, S.1881. McConnell stated that the Senate will vote on this legislation before departing for an extended state work period next month.

Not only does the bill de-fund Planned Parenthood, it takes the taxpayer dollars that had been slated for the abortion business and sends them to legitimate women’s health care. The bills transfers funding from Planned Parenthood and sends it to agencies that provides for women’s health services including relevant diagnostic laboratory and radiology services, well-child care, prenatal and postpartum care, immunization, family planning services including contraception, sexually transmitted disease testing, cervical and breast cancer screenings, and referrals.

“As a mother and grandmother, I find this footage of Planned Parenthood’s role in the harvesting of the organs of unborn babies morally reprehensible and vile,” said Senator Ernst. “The American people are horrified by these videos as well. Simply put, this legislation ensures that funding for women’s health is protected and that taxpayer dollars will not go to Planned Parenthood.”

“The calloused harvesting of body parts shows a complete disregard for human dignity. We cannot care more about animal cruelty than the inhumane treatment of children in the womb,” said Senator Lankford. “It is self evident that we should honor life and stand against the harvest of human organs. If Planned Parenthood sold unique human organs to research labs, by definition they had to be unique human lives in the womb when they were aborted. It is time for federal taxpayer funding for Planned Parenthood to end and let community health centers use that funding to provide health care services for those in greatest need.”

Cosponsors of the bill include Senators John Barrasso (WY), Roy Blunt (MO), John Boozman (AR), Richard Burr (NC) Dan Coats (IN), Tom Cotton (AR) John Cornyn (TX), Ted Cruz (TX), Steve Daines (MT), Mike Enzi (WY), Deb Fischer (NE), James Inhofe (OK), Johnny Isakson (GA), Ron Johnson (WI), James Lankford (OK), John McCain (AZ) Mitch McConnell (KY), Jerry Moran (KS), Rand Paul (KY), David Perdue (GA), Pat Roberts (KS), Ben Sasse (NE), Tim Scott (SC), and John Thune (SD).

SIGN THE PETITION! Congress Must Investigate Planned Parenthood for Selling Aborted Baby Parts

As LifeNews reported, the first video of undercover footage shows Planned Parenthood Federation of America’s Senior Director of Medical Services, Dr. Deborah Nucatola, describing how Planned Parenthood sells the body parts of aborted unborn children and admitting she uses partial-birth abortions to supply intact body parts.

In the second video, Planned Parenthood doctor Maru Gatter discusses the pricing of aborted baby body parts — telling the biotech company officials that the prices for such things as a baby’s liver, head or heart are negotiable. She also tells the officials that she could talk with the Planned Parenthood abortion practitioners to potentially alter the abortion procedure to kill the baby in a way that would best preserve those body parts after the unborn child is killed in the abortion.

A total of 11 states have already launched an investigation including Florida, Tennessee, Massachusetts, Kansas, Missouri, Arizona, Indiana, Ohio, Georgia, Texas and Louisiana and members of Congress have launched an investigation as well.

You are no Republican if you can’t even agree to defund PP who uses 92% of the money Congress gives them for abortions. In case you are wondering, they get $500 MILLION every year that is supposed to go to family planning, but 92% of it goes to provide abortions.

Someone say with a straight face we need to elect GOP ‘no matter what’.

Are you people sick of it yet? Have the lesser evils rubbed your noses in it enough yet?

And people wonder why Trump is so popular. He is very clear on the few things that he addresses. "Build the wall." "Well, how you going to do that?" "We'll figure it out but we'll get it done."

He doesn't hide behind legalese. I'm constantly reminded of Teddy Roosevelt---not one of my favorites but a pres who LOVED America: when he worked out a coup to take Panama, he said, "I took Panama and left Congress to debate ME."

There could be video of PP killing a newborn infant and the same RINOs would feel the same way.

Mark Kirk came to my company for a meet and greet. Huge disappointment for me as I was very excited to meet a Senate member in person. I’m not sure he even knew where he was.

I don’t consider myself a moralist expert, but it seems to me that a Congressman/Senator who opposes the de-funding of Planned Parenthood, after all the videos that have come out, are incurring some kind of guilt for what they are doing.

Yep. Planned Parenthood employees should go to prison. Politicians that backed them should be tossed out of office, and tried as accessories after the fact.

Run the videos with the statement that Collins and Kirk knowingly voted to use taxpayer funds for human vivisection and human organ harvesting

Pure horse####.

There are plenty of other resources.

The folks in Illinois need to give him an earful.

As for Susan Collins,her constituents need to hear from her as well.

Here is the money question who are the ones profiting from the sale of the baby parts?

Not PPH, they sell to Stem Express for cheap, something like $30-$40 per part. Stem Express, whose founder/CEO’s sister works for Boenher, sells those parts for $3,000.00 - $4,000.00 each.

Nice profit.

So my question is who are the owners/stockholders of Stem Express? Are they members of the US Congress? Or theexecs of PPH, just who are they?
