If GOP Can't Defund Planned Parenthood, They Don't Deserve 2016 White House

House Speaker John Boehner may or may not defund Planned Parenthood, telling reporters that he wants to get the facts first.

You want facts, Mr. Speaker?

Okay - call up Planned Parenthood and see what the going rate is for an aborted baby's backbone.

You want facts, sir?

2/3 majority never stopped liberals.

Without looking the answer up:

How many abortions did Planned Parenthood perform in 2014?

a) 59,620
b) 110,758
c) 223,476

[albie]

Yeah! Let’s teach ‘em a lesson and not vote for ‘em!!

[usconservative]

Let’s be realistic, if defunding of Planned Parenthood is going to be accomplished, it won’t be until we have a CONSERVATIVE President with a CONSERVATIVE Congress.

Incorrect! The US House of Representatives allocates all money to pay for the budget commitments as specified "in the budget."

The US House of Representatives exercising their constitutionally defined roles and responsibilities can choose what they allocate money for ("write the check") and those that they do not.

The US House of Representatives would EASILY be within their defined duties if they chose to de-fund Planned Murder-An-Unborn-Child."

There wouldn't be a damn' thing the Senate or Obama could do about it either.

So the question is: does Boehner have the testicular fortitude to cut the money off from "Planned Murder-An-Unborn-Child?"

The answer of course is NO, that however does not mean it wouldn't be within the defined duties of the House of Representatives to pull its funding.

[NorthMountain]

Roe V. Wade has NOTHING to do with using tax payer money to fund Planned Parenthood, ABSOLUTELY NOTHING.

Thank you.

This is all about McConnell and Boehner being at best pusillanimous cowards. At best.

I am open to considering the possibility that one or both of them is actively pro-abortion. Perhaps even in league with Planned Parenthood. Perhaps even bought and paid for by PP.

Perhaps.

[pfflier]

If they don't deserve the white house in 2016 then who does?

It's a stupid statement and leaves no logical alternative to anything but keeping the dims in. That has turned out so well.

[NorthMountain]

Let’s say both houses vote to defund Planned Parenthood, who has the veto pen now?

And you can be SURE Obama will veto it.

So MAKE THE KENYAN BASTARD VETO IT!!!!

Then tar and feather the democrats with it. They're baby killers. Make them own it.

[umgud]

Margaret Sanger is having orgasms in her grave.

[usconservative]

You're missing the point: The House of Representatives can, within their Constitutionally defined roles and responsibilities choose by itself to refuse to fund "Planned Murder-An-Unborn-Child."

The House of Representatives writes the checks to pay the bills. They can choose to NOT write the check and there won't be a damn' thing Obama can do about it.

Congress doesn't need to pass a law to do it and Obama's veto pen is irrelevant. It's well within their Constitutionally defined duties.

[oldbrowser]

Talk about "disparate impact", why doesn't some GOP candidate reveal some obvious fact about abortion:

79% of Planned Parenthood Abortion Clinics Target Blacks, Hispanics

Google it.

[MNDude]

“House Speaker John Boehner may or may not defund Planned Parenthood, telling reporters that he wants to get the facts first.”

Wow, that’s some conviction.

Either PP is a baby slaughtering industry or .... what Mr. Boehner?

[HarleyLady27]

I agree, if you don’t get rid of this corruption in Washington D.C. OUR COUNTRY will not survive....

[Old Sarge]

But that’s the cudgel that the Left will use - “WOMAN’S RIGHT TO CHOOOOOOSE!”

We’ve heard that battle cry before. It’s the one issue which unifies the entire barking mess under the Leftist tent.

[Timber Rattler]

Amen!

[notdownwidems]

RE: The Republicans hold the purse strings now

Yes, but Obama holds the veto pen.

Ok, so the republicans can pass an omnibus spending bill with ZERO dollars allocated for PP; let oblahblah veto it and shut the government down because he likes to murder children.

[PapaBear3625]

The GOPe don't care about getting the White House. If the White House was in the hands of a conservative, the RINOs in Congress would have no excuse to not pass conservative legislation.

They much prefer being able to be RINOs and continue getting perks.

[TexasCajun]

Perhaps we DO need a third party.

We have Democrat & Democrat Light Parties currently.

[savagesusie]

Yes, it does. It is making Evil into “Just Law”. Any Justice System which can promote Vice, is a Vice System.

We destroyed our Justice System bit by bit-—and now we even have the forced promotion of sodomy to our little children.

It is flipping Good and Evil——and now our Christian Worldview which formed Western Civilization is being forced back into the pagan, Nero worldview which includes stealing private property and using it for evil.

You can say this Nero worldview is a Satanic worldview, or Marxist worldview-—whatever, since they all can use human beings as a “Means to an End” which Christian “Justice” never could.

They destroyed the meaning of Words——”fetus” “marriage” to actually flip good and evil and normalize paganism in the US which will collapse culture.

[Carl Vehse]

The GOP has destroyed its own credibility and the credibility of its eventual nominee for the presidency. If someone other than a traitorous demonicrat is to win, he will probably have to be a third-party candidate.

[GeronL]

The GOPE only pretends to be pro-life.
