Senate to vote Monday on defunding Planned Parenthood, first step in renewed battle

They are fighting the wrong battle in defunding Planned Parenthood. Roe v. Wade decision legalized abortions, but it does NOT require taxpayer money to be used to PAY for abortions. The proper course of action should be to prevent any public tax money to be used to pay for abortions.

Indiana attempted this in 2011. However, the problem is that IN Planned Parenthood claimed that their accounting methods do NOT distinguish how much funds go toward providing “abortion services” as opposed to “other health services” and they refused to change that accounting. Therefore, when Governor Daniels had an approved bill to sign, it was written to prevent any tax money funding for Planned Parenthood. http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2011/04/29/indiana-gov-daniels-sign-defunding-planned-parenthood/

U.S. District Judge Tanya Walton Pratt denied Planned Parenthood of Indiana's request for a temporary restraining order...The judge's decision allows the cuts to take effect immediately.

However the usual culprits (PP and ACLU) appealed to a higher US District court whose decision blocked defunding PP.

There are probably at least 3 to 5 rino’s who will not vote to defund and I doubt there are any democrats, unless the numbers are such that the democrat leadership will permit one or two to vote in the affirmative, (dems will never defy their leadership) this will most likely be defeated by one vote, you can bet it is a done deal.

I sincerely hope I’m wrong...

Fedral law prohibits “...any person to knowingly acquire, receive, or otherwise knowingly transfer any human fetal tissue for valuable consideration...”

However, at least one CA company still advertises human fetal tissue with prices on it's website:

Get it right....this isn’t....

PURCHASE OF TISSUE- It shall be unlawful for any person to knowingly acquire, receive, or otherwise transfer any human fetal tissue for valuable consideration

what the law ACTUALLY says:

PURCHASE OF TISSUE- It shall be unlawful for any person to knowingly acquire, receive, or otherwise transfer any human fetal tissue for valuable consideration “if the transfer affects interstate commerce”.
