Pro-Abortion Minority Blocks Senate Bill to Defund Planned Parenthood Despite Bipartisan Majority’s Vote to Cut Tax Dollars

BREAKING: The U.S. Senate has voted to continue the federal funding of Planned Parenthood despite the fact that they harvest and sell the body parts of aborted babies.

Did your Senator vote to continue this barbarity? We have the list here.

A pro-abortion extremist minority in the U.S. Senate has filibustered a vote to defund Planned Parenthood.

A bipartisan majority of the Senate voted to close debate and vote to cut off the abortion giant’s taxpayer funding, falling short of the 60-vote threshold to avoid a filibuster.

This means that a minority of the Senate – led by Planned Parenthood’s pro-abortion political allies – have blocked a vote.

Planned Parenthood continues to rake in over $500 million of our tax dollars a year. It continues to murder nearly 330,000 babies a year. And it continues to pad its bottom line by selling these murdered babies’ body parts.

Yet 45 Members of the Senate voted to allow this barbarity to continue to be funded by you and me, the taxpayers.

You need to know their names.

The following Senators voted to continue sending half a billion of our tax dollars to Planned Parenthood as it murders babies and sells them for parts:

Senator Tammy Baldwin (D-WI)

Senator Michael Bennet (D-CO)

Senator Richard Blumenthal (D-CT)

Senator Cory Booker (D-NJ)

Senator Barbara Boxer (D-CA)

Senator Sherrod Brown (D-OH)

Senator Maria Cantwell (D-WA)

Senator Benjamin Cardin (D-MD)

Senator Thomas Carper (D-DE)

Senator Robert Casey (D-PA)

Senator Christopher Coons (D-DE)

Senator Richard Durbin (D-IL)

Senator Dianne Feinstein (D-CA)

Senator Al Franken (D-MN)

Senator Kirsten Gillibrand (D-NY)

Senator Martin Heinrich (D-NM)

Senator Heidi Heitkamp (D-ND)

Senator Mazie Hirono (D-HI)

Senator Tim Kaine (D-VA)

Senator Angus King (I-ME)

Senator Mark Kirk (R-IL)

Senator Amy Klobuchar (D-MN)

Senator Patrick Leahy (D-VT)

Senator Edward Markey (D-MA)

Senator Claire McCaskill (D-MO)

Senator Robert Menendez (D-NJ)

Senator Jeff Merkley (D-OR)

Senator Barbara Mikulski (D-MD)

Senator Christopher Murphy (D-CT)

Senator Patty Murray (D-WA)

Senator Bill Nelson (D-FL)

Senator Gary Peters (D-MI)

Senator Jack Reed (D-RI)

Senator Harry Reid (D-NV)

Senator Bernard Sanders (I-VT)

Senator Brian Schatz (D-HI)

Senator Charles Schumer (D-NY)

Senator Jeanne Shaheen (D-NH)

Senator Debbie Stabenow (D-MI)

Senator Jon Tester (D-MT)

Senator Tom Udall (D-NM)

Senator Mark Warner (D-VA)

Senator Elizabeth Warren (D-MA)

Senator Sheldon Whitehouse (D-RI)

Senator Ron Wyden (D-OR)

While we must hold these Senators accountable for their vote for barbarity, it is equally important to thank those Senators (a bipartisan majority including Senators Manchin (D-WV) and Donnelly (D-IN)) who spoke out to stop subsidizing Planned Parenthood’s abortion business.

Our fight to defund the abortion giant will not be deterred. A majority of the Senate and a majority of Americans do not want to be forced to pay for this evil.

We continue to work with members of both houses of Congress on key committee investigations of Planned Parenthood’s potentially illegal activity.

We are also directly representing the Center for Medical Progress and some of its board members who have been targeted by big abortion with a federal lawsuit to censor and silence their pro-life investigative journalism. The abortion industry doesn’t want the truth to come out. It doesn’t want its horrific abortion tactics to be exposed to the American public. We’re defending these pro-life journalists in federal court.

Stand with us. Demand the evil sale of murdered babies end, and call on investigations into big abortion’s horrific practices. As we defend those who are exposing Planned Parenthood in court, sign our petition today.

A new budget year begins in a couple of months and if our fearless republican majority were serious, they would simply refuse to include funding for this activity in the budget. Instead, they continue the dishonest practice of funding everything with a simple majority vote, then stage these designed to fail votes to take the money back which requires a 60 vote majority to invoke cloture or a 2/3 vote in both houses to overcome a veto. They are not serious and, as a group will do almost anything to keep from offending any special interest.

There are so many liberal senators, that the election of 2014 changed nothing at all.

Is there a list of RINOS who missed the vote or abstained?

PA voters are too uninformed to learn anything about the real Casey. They just like the Irish name.

On a cold day in a hot place they would do it and even then just for the show of it.

They would cave after making dramatic political speeches in the spirit of George Wallace’s pre-arranged (with JFK) performance at the schoolhouse door in Alabama in 1963.

Wallace didn’t keep ‘segregation forever’ going in his state that day, he just launched his political future as a presidential candidate in 1964, 1968 and beyond.

It is why we need to get these bastards out of leadership positions. If they continue to get reelected, then we get the government we deserve.

PP is a moral issue of the highest order. If we can't get our side to show some passion and outrage about this, what do they need to have a spine. This is akin to knowing what the Nazis were doing in the concentration camps and not doing something about it. Shut the government down if that is what it takes to stop the slaughter of infants in the millions. Let the American people know what is at stake. We should go down fighting no matter what the consequences.

IF the GOP wanted to stop this funding they certainly could have over the many past years that appropriations included funding for this evil body parts organization. BUT No they have not taken such action. Why should I be upset in 2015 - GWB had a chance to shut this down when his party controlled Congress. Did he? NO he had control of the Congress during 2001-2005. This cannot solely be blamed on the DEMONRATS, although I readily admit abortion is their sacrament.

When the debt ceiling comes up in the near future the GOP can easily stop this funding and force Baraq Obumbler to shut the Govt down - think that will happen? Never under this gutless GOP leadership.



THE GOP CONGRESS

What I find so paradoxal, is that many of these butchers got into office via of the black vote. It’s the same black vote that screams: “Black Lives Matter”, yet they continue to vote and support the very butchers that kill thousands, if not millions, of black lives. I find it amazing. Low information voters, I guess. But screaming “Black Lives Matter” while voting and supporting the very butchers that kill them and sell their body parts to “rich white folks” is so hippocritical and really waters down whatever message they are trying to convey. Just amazing.

What do you mean you’ve heard the “argument” - that is indeed the reason the leader will vote against the party’s own bill if it isn’t going to pass. Very common - anyone the least bit. Whether or not he actually does in the future is a different issue for which he will have to held to account...but making false statements about his vote now doesn’t serve any purpose.

Although Lindsey Graham...decided to campaign instead of showing up for the vote like Paul, Rubio, and Cruz. You’ve got him dead to rights.

My senators’ IQs don’t add up to room temperature, so I’m not surprised at their votes.

“Of course we will continue to fund PP. Now, who will we allow to vote against it?”

The outcome is never in question, only how it looks.

Disgusting.

We get rid of one RINO after another in hopes of changing things like this but it never changes. The only thing that changes is the names attached to the vote. The outcomes are forgone conclusions,

Vote to cut their funding in half. Then by 40%, then by 30%, all the way down to a 10% cut. Do these five votes one a month. Keep this in the news. Force these Democrats to own it. Go after black voters with a ‘blacklivesmatter-evenwhenthey’reinthewomb’ campaign. Go after Millenials and Latinos. Be the Party of Life and Liberty!
