The House on Friday voted along party lines to freeze federal funding for Planned Parenthood after weeks of escalating tension surrounding its use of fetal tissue.

In a 241-187 vote, the House approved legislation that would block Planned Parenthood's federal funding for one year, giving time for Congress to fully investigate claims of wrongdoing by the provider.

...Republicans broke ranks to vote against the funding freeze: ... Richard Hanna (R-N.Y.)...

That's funny... Hanna is the sole 'R' recipient of PP campaign cash.

“freeze” or “block”?

They’re NOT the same thing!!

“freeze” usually means “maintain at current levels”.

So 187 Democrats voted to pay the butchers of God’s babies our tax money so they could keep selling the dead babies’ brains, gonads and eyes. Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama approve. The God who will judge all mankind does not and neither does a Christian voter.

Until the stupid idiots on his district wise up and vote these crony crooks out of office, it will be the norm. OR...the rest of the states need to weigh in on the constitutional convention to change the rules by which congress operates. They have no incentive for policing themselves. States need to take back their power.

Spot on!

Regardless that the RINO-controlled House has read the Constitution out loud at the beginnings of the last three legislative sessions, RINO lawmakers continue to ignore that the states have never delegated to the feds, expressly via the Constitution, the specific power to tax and spend for anything like Planned Parenthood.

The ill-conceived 17th Amendment needs to disappear, and corrupt senators who help to pass unconstitutional House appropriations bills that create funding for things like vote-winning Planned Parenthood along with it.

“Why freeze? Why not de-fund? Stop the checks now!”

They are blocking the funding it appears, entirely, for one year. The freeze part is that it is for one year only, but as I understand this, PP will not be funded for this one year. It’s a poorly written and confusing article.

Good for them. I think it will be blocked in the senate but at least it gets the dems on record.

What black communities need to realize what is done with the 'matter' of black lives and how much money they make off the parts.
