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.

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.
When Susan Collins talks, people are busy with other things.

Killing babies is not “basic healthcare”
You would think that Kirk who had a near death experience not too long ago, would have had a “come to Jesus meeting,” turned from his wicked ways, and now exercise leadership that will not bring God’s judgment and wrath on our nation. Unbelievable.
Scum
McConnell made this a stand-alone bill to ensure it would never become law.
If we cant pass this bill which would be vetoed by Barry, why even vote anymore
$500 million a year that needs to be saved!
And the LORD your God will put all these curses on your foes and enemies who persecuted you.....Deut 30:7
I agree.
= :^)
Where is the “defund PP” petition located?
It’s all about getting elected and getting on the gravy train. Issues only matter to you and I...for the elected class, it’s game.
Kirk likely will be. By the Democrat, Tammy Duckworth.
Exactly. WTF difference does it make? It won’t make it past Obama’s desk anyway. It’s all theater. Very sick and twisted theater.
Mitch McConnell & John Boehner. (in the house).....get off your deadbeat butts and take Senators, Susan Collins & Mark Kirk or any Pubbie Representatives out to the woodshed....read them the riot act, & that you are ordering them to vote for the immediate defunding of Planned Parenthood....period!!! No other vote will be accepted!!! End of story!!! Otherwise...have them switch parties and become baby killing Democrats!!! I am plain sick & tired of these “establishment” RINOs with no backbone to remain team players!!!
I would love to find a list of names of the House and Senate members that donate to and receive from planned parenthood...
Cowardly, ghoulish sympathizers.
We have Obamacare, which is supposed to solve all the women’s health issues. Why are we shipping out more money to abortion clinics for the same, covered thing?
