I wrote yesterday that in the coming days and weeks, House pro-lifers would be introducing 4 important bills.
The 1st, a bill to repeal Obamacare, is already in motion, starting yesterday.
And today, Congressman Mike Pence introduced our 2nd bill, the Title X Abortion Provider Prohibition Act, which would cut off Title X funding to organizations that commit abortion. The most obvious target is Planned Parenthood, which Congressman Pence spotlighted in his statement:
It is morally wrong to end an unborn human life by abortion. It is also morally wrong to take the taxpayer dollars of millions of pro-life Americans and use them to promote abortion at home or abroad.
Last year, Planned Parenthood received more than $363 million in revenue from government grants and contracts. During that same time, they performed an unprecedented 324,008 abortions.
The largest abortion provider in America should not also be the largest recipient of federal funding under Title X.
The Title X Abortion Provider Prohibition Act will prevent any family planning funds under Title X from going to Planned Parenthood or other organizations that perform abortions. It will ensure that abortion providers are not being subsidized with federal tax dollars.
I am grateful for the support of more than 122 original co-sponsors
.
Am working on getting the names of those cosponsors, so you can see if your rep is on there, and if not, urge him/her to sign on. [UPDATE: Am told the list should be posted Monday.]

Aside from the moral issue, if “a woman’s right to choose” is really the most sacrosanct “right” in this country today as the left constantly insists, I would think PP would be self supporting. Or at least entirely underwritten by the mouths that roar” Rosie Odumbo, Whoopie, Streisand, Roseanne Barb etc. They can afford it.

According to the above thread, it should prevent any government funds going to the organization, not just abortion funds.
The Title X Abortion Provider Prohibition Act will prevent any family planning funds under Title X from going to Planned Parenthood or other organizations that perform abortions. It will ensure that abortion providers are not being subsidized with federal tax dollars.
I just now tried looking the bill up on www.thomas.gov under Pence's name and it wasn't listed yet. So, I'm sorry to say, I can't be sure.

I’m not sure if defunding NPR is higher on my list than defunding the NEA, but it is high up there. Let’s do as much as we can as fast as we can.

Modern-day abortion is akin to the sacrifice of children to the pagan god Molech in ancient times.

It should be a gimmee, but those RATS HATE babies. And they hate the elderly, both of which create certain inconveniences and moral ethics they would prefer not to deal with. Death (for others!) is always the easiest way for these folks. Doubt me, just look at the support Dr. Kevorkian gets from this same crowd.
To: Jemian
I pray that others join him.

We need to stick to it just as hard as the “pro-choice” (baby killers) have stuck to it in ramming it down the throats of those of us who do not want their taxes paying for those “choosing” to kill their babies and outfits like Planned Parenthood lounge lizards being paid handsomely for their part in it.

Important action items! I agree 100%. Constant contact is important in the next few months, or relapse shall set in because of the corruptive forces that operate 24/7/52 in Washington DC!

You and me both. Let’s hope each week is filled with the kind of ‘fight back’ that they’ve shown this week.

A good bill! I love Pence, and I know out Rep who is now R again will definitely support it. However, I hate to ask but, wouldn’t Obama have to sign it? If so, I don’t see it happening. Obama gladly funds Planned Death, and he’s counting on their support in 2012.

The majority of the 112th are putting the right bills in. Harry’s going to have a very tall stack of popular legislation to sit on for Obama by the time 2012 rolls around.
Did the Senate do anything this week?
