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.

Democrat-Socialists proudly defend the Margaret Sanger Abortuaries. It’s all about women’s “reproductive rights” and a woman’s “(constitutional?) right to choose”....to kill her unborn baby. And of course we can’t forget the “medical advances” that this “research” has opened up.

Yep. I posted that on another thread. It’s all fun and games to these paid for traitors.

#BlackBabyLivesDontMatter to the Senate. Where is the outrage, by blacks, over PP?

I didn’t even have to look. Mikulski and Cardin. Two insufferable pRATs, long overdue to retire.

This is a joke, kind of like all those votes against gay marriage that the GOP put us through . . . before they were for it.

The problem is, as conservatives we're attacking the fruit, not the root. It's going to go like it did back in the '50s, when we actually only temporarily banned Playboy from the public magazine stands, rather than throwing Hefner's a## in jail for polluting the national debate with his Playboy Philosophy of free sex, swinging singles, publicly displayed nudity, sodomy and lesbianism, and salacious literature, thus a wedge issue for the pouring of filth into every movie theater, TV studio, public and school library, and the family living room, making a tolerance of depravity a part of every person's daily fare. And doing likewise to any who followed suit, prompted by every pulpit, every university, the AMA, and the American Psychological Society, and the Supreme Court.

Planned Parenthood was created to deal with unplanned parenthood, unwanted parenthood, and the inability to use the two-letter word “No.”.

Unfortunately lots here embrace it every time it happens. Which is every issue he caves on. Which is every issue. Always a ‘dems are worse/you love Obama” poster to tell us Mitch just HAD to keep his powder dry or some other worn out disproven crap.

This time, they openly support the death of babies. The liberalism is boundless. And shameless.

Which of these are Catholics? Which claim to be Christian and attend church regularly? They should be excommunicated or expelled from their churches.

Just once I’d like to see church leaders from all faiths act like church leaders and disciples of the Lord.

Understood, but the collective desire to “knee-cap” the establishment is growing larger.

I’m hopeful.

Yea but never forget that in 12 and 14 they swore up and down wanted the same thing because OBAMA! and ended up helping it immensely, shoving the GOP further left than at any point in recorded history. Some woke up sure. But already the screaming for party unity no matter what is in full force. If Trump/Cruz bolt the GOP Enough will line up behind Jeb just as with Romney to ensure either the Dem or the GOP failbot wins and principle be damned. They say it openly and I think there’s enough to ensure it purely out of spite.

Absolute corruption. I truly believe there is an evil presence that has control of our government. All three branches. Tax-payer funded butchery and organ harvesting continues.

When comrade dictator obama really gets his domestic genocide program in gear, there are the senators that will be funding the slaughterhouses and reaping profits derived from the venture.

Bob Caseys father must be turning over in his grave. Bob Casey Sr wasn’t allowed to speak at the DNC convention because of his anti abortion stance. Junior couldn’t string three words together without help from the party.
