Utah Congresswoman Mia Love had to fight back tears as she discussed the Planned Parenthood videos with Lou Dobbs on Fox Business.
"Our job is to protect life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness — first and foremost, life," Love said.
"To see what’s actually happening to babies while they are still alive…it’s horrific. This is not about a right or left issue, this is about right or wrong."
Love said she has always been pro-life and called on the American people to speak up against the barbarism being exposed.
"We’ve got to do everything we can to make sure that these are being exposed, that the American people know exactly what’s happening and we stand up and make sure that we don’t allow this to happen," Love said.
Dobbs asked whether there was the leadership needed in DC to stop the funding for Planned Parenthood, Love said yes, it can be done.
Love needs to grow a spine and vote to fire Boehner this time around.
She’s a whack job KOLOB cultist.
They turn on a dime.
JESUS CHRIST was never in Missouri.
At least someone is displaying some emotion and outrage at this PP infanticide. It needs to stop immediately.
....so you disagree with her on Planned Parenthood I take it. Good for you.
She’s from Utah.
But when she was running the Utah folks said she was the real deal, a true conservative.
She knew about Boehner’s treachery and his Lame duck session madness. And she stayed as silent as a lamb.
I guess she thinks Congress is a preschool where everyone is told to line up and be quiet while the corruption continues unabated.
She could have spoken out. She could have made people know she’s not to be taken for granted. But no, her life and her position are more important than making waves.
And now she cries like Boehner over abortion and will likely get behind a nowhere bill to defund PP as it will die under veto.
If she was worth more than spit, she would attach a rider to the upcoming CROmnibus or delayed must-pass Highway Bill as Senator Cruz suggests but she won’t. She will do exactly what she’s told by Scalise or McCarthy.
Thank you. Here is a Republican woman more than willing to speak out and what do we hear from the crowd?
Mia, isn’t it your job to support Bohner?
What is wrong with you people? Give credit where credit’s due. Don’t be such soulless, heartless jerks. This thread has NOTHING to do with Boehner being in leadership. Nothing.
> “This thread has NOTHING to do with Boehner being in leadership. Nothing.”
STRONGLY DISAGREE!
She’s all talk
No action
Low energy
Incompetent
A loser
She and Boehner should share a box of Kleenex
I could go on
I agree. What’s happening with PP is nearly indescribable in it’s ghoulish horror. My Dem family members think I’m either making stuff up, (which they are too apathetic to verify) or just plain being partisan.
The will, indeed, the demand by many Americans to remain ignorant of these inhuman deeds is breathtaking.
Actually, this is very much a Right versus Left issue.
But she wears magic underwear.
Pioneer era[edit]
Brigham Young led the LDS Church from 1844 until his death in 1877.
For two years after Smith’s death, conflicts escalated between Mormons and other Illinois residents. To prevent war,[44] Smith had predicted that the church would go to the West and be established in the tops of the Rocky Mountains.[45] Brigham Young took Smith’s advice and led his followers, known in modern times as the Mormon pioneers, to Nebraska and then in 1847 to what became the Utah Territory.[46] As groups (over 60,000) arrived over a period of years, LDS settlers branched out and colonized a large region now known as the Mormon Corridor.
Young incorporated the LDS Church as a legal entity, and initially governed both the church and the state as a theocratic leader. He also publicized the practice of plural marriage,[47] a form of polygamy.
By 1857, tensions had again escalated between Mormons and other Americans, largely as a result of accusations involving polygamy and the theocratic rule of the Utah Territory by Young.[48] The Utah Mormon War ensued from 1857 to 1858, which resulted in the relatively peaceful[49] invasion of Utah by the United States Army, after which Young agreed to step down from power and be replaced by a non-Mormon territorial governor, Alfred Cumming.[50] Nevertheless, the LDS Church still wielded significant political power in the Utah Territory.[51]
At Young’s death in 1877, he was followed by other church presidents, who resisted efforts by the United States Congress to outlaw Mormon polygamous marriages. In 1878, the United States Supreme Court, in Reynolds v. United States, decreed that “religious duty” to engage in plural marriage was not a valid defense to prosecutions for violating state laws against polygamy. Conflict between Mormons and the U.S. government escalated to the point that in 1890, Congress disincorporated the LDS Church and seized most of its assets. Soon thereafter, church president Wilford Woodruff issued a Manifesto that officially suspended the practice.[52] Although this Manifesto did not dissolve existing plural marriages, so that families would not be split apart or damaged, no new polygamous marriages would be performed. Relations with the United States markedly improved after 1890, such that Utah was admitted as a U.S. state in 1896. Relations further improved after 1904, when church president Joseph F. Smith again disavowed polygamy before the United States Congress and issued a “Second Manifesto”, calling for all plural marriages in the church to cease, as they were already against church doctrine since Woodruff issued the Manifesto. Eventually, the church adopted a policy of excommunicating its members found practicing polygamy and today actively distances itself from “fundamentalist” groups still practicing polygamy.[53]
What do you suggest she do?
Endorsing TRUMP FOR POTUS would be a good start.
What do you suggest she do?
Announce she will not support any bill to fund the government as long is PP funded.
We’re being played here with crocodile tears and show votes. The beltway GOP have no intention of every defunding PP. Wise up, FRiend.
I must admit I’m baffled why the GOP won’t jump on defunding PP. I mean, what egregoiuous behavior would it take? I really can’t think of PP doing anything more vile than they have already been shown to have done.

The GOP don’t jump on it because they don’t want to defund PP. If it’s something important to them like an Obamacare exemption for themselves it gets done ASAP.
McConnell himself voted in favor of the original baby parts r us bill back in the ‘90s. There are a lot of lost souls in DC who have no interest in defunding PP, unfortunately.
It is about left and right when the left is wrong.
She cries over Planned Parenthood’s butchery while GOPe spokesmen Bill O’Reilly and Charles Krauthammer were outraged the other week.
Will Mia Love be joining the Fox News crowd in supporting Jeb Bush for President as well as Boehner for Speaker??????
She’s been packaged and promoted as conservative, but.....
