In an email to conservative and pro-life activists yesterday, Pence touted the Title X Abortion Provider Prohibition Act.
“Reports show that Planned Parenthood, America’s largest abortion provider, receives nearly one-third of its $1 billion annual budget from the federal government. And it’s about to get worse, because Obamacare is hiding even more tax dollars in handouts for abortion providers,” Pence explained.
“Nearly 3,500 abortions are performed every day in America. That’s 3,500 lives taken away, many on the government dime without the knowledge or direct approval of taxpayers! It’s reprehensible and we can’t allow it to continue,” Pence added.
Pence referred to the Pledge With America that House Republicans put forward before the elections promising to dismantle ObamaCare, which contains a full prohibition on abortion funding, and to cut off taxpayer funding for abortions in other areas.
“I’m ready to deliver that promise with legislation that will prevent abortion providers like Planned Parenthood from receiving a single dime from the federal government,” the Indiana congressman wrote. “With a new Republican majority, Planned Parenthood is running scared.”
That appears to be the case as Planned Parenthood president Cecile Richards sent a desperate email to supporters of the abortion business today pleading for funds to combat the legislation.
Richards claims Pence is not telling the truth about the $650 million in federal funds a GAO report shows the abortion business getting over a seven year period. http://www.lifenews.com/nat6425.html
“He’s lying to them, telling them that tax dollars fund abortion services — but he’s deadly serious about eliminating all federal funding for Planned Parenthood’s life-saving work,” she claims. “I knew the attacks would start soon — but this is outrageous and, I fear, only the beginning. The attacks on Planned Parenthood and the people Planned Parenthood serves are bound to get worse.”
“If Rep. Pence and his anti-choice cronies are successful, the consequences for women will be dire. Federal funding helps local Planned Parenthood health centers across the country,” Richards added, claiming none of the money helps the abortion business do abortions. “After the gains anti-choice legislators made in the recent elections, we knew attacks like this would be coming.”
Richards called Pence’s bill a “vicious campaign to eliminate Planned Parenthood” and promised to “fight this and every effort to undermine” her organization’s work.
In his email, Pence said he’s not surprised Planned Parenthood has gone after him by name.
“The fear of losing their federal funding has led them to target me for my pro-life positions. They’ve even named me to their 2010 Election Hall of Shame for advocating a pro-life agenda on Capitol Hill,” he said. “But I refuse to back down.”
“Our tax dollars should not be spent on abortions. I know it. You know it. Let’s make sure every member of Congress knows it,” he concluded.
Great link. They admit the grant, and they reveal how completely in the tank for Obama and O-bortion they are. For Catholic consumption, to justify giving money to PP's body-snatchers, they cite two "ethicists" from something called the Catholic Health Association. The CHA functioned as a front group for Obama's medical-industry takeover last year.
And if you speak Catholic, you know that someone who speaks on theological issues and calls himself an "ethicist" is a heretic—because to call himself a theologian would expose him to being fired if he opposes basic Catholic teaching (if the institution calls itself Catholic).
Wear it as a badge of honor congressman.
God bless Mike Pence!
Isaiah 5:20
Yeah!!
And now I have a pro-life rep who will listen to us and vote for this defunding...
Thank you for the link. Eye opening.
He also understands the responsibilities of being President:
“Whereas the president must be cautious, dutiful, and deferential at home, his character must change abroad. Were he to ask for a primer on how to act in relation to other states, which no holder of the office has needed to this point, and were that primer to be written by the American people, whether of 1776 or 2010, you can be confident that it would contain the following instructions:
You do not bow to kings. Outside our shores, the President of the United States of America bows to no man. When in foreign lands, you do not criticize your own country. You do not argue the case against the United States, but the case for it. You do not apologize to the enemies of the United States. Should you be confused, a country, people, or region that harbors, shelters, supports, encourages, or cheers attacks upon our country or the slaughter of our friends and families are enemies of the United States. And, to repeat, you do not apologize to them.”
I am on board for his candidacy in 2012.
I have been observing Mike Pence for awhile now and I would vote for him. There is more I want to see, but I am wondering more and more if he wouldn’t make a good president....
YES!!!
Hello! If you ever have time could you tell me a little about komen’s ties to pp??? We have many GOP politicians in Indiana who cozy up to Komen and it just doesn’t feel right...
God Bless,
First of all, the founder of Susan G. Komen is Nancy G. Brinker. Nancy and Susan were sisters. Nancy G. Brinker was also an advisory board member for Planned Parenthood (Dallas, TX). At the moment, I cannot find the link for it but there was a report that the Planned Parenthood in Dallas built a multi-million dollar abortion mill after some a sizable amount of money was given to them from Susan G. Komen’s foundation. Will keep looking.
Anyway, here’s one link http://www.clearlightcatholic.com/pages/komen.htm
and the other thing that can be shared is the website of Life Issues Institute (click on Resources) for more information about this link (and others, like March of Dimes).

Finally, it’s important to know that you can STILL donate to the breast cancer research without the fear of having the money go to Planned Parenthood. It’s the Breast Cancer Prevention Institute. http://www.bcpinstitute.org/home.htm
From now on, I make sure I avoid Susan G. Komen whenever I have control of it. While they may claim the money will never go to “abortion”, I trust Planned Parenthood/SGK like I trust Satan. ZERO!
Has anyone seen Planned Parenthood’s websites for youths?
Oh, and the new documentaries “Maafa 21” and “Blood Money” go into great detail of the abortion industry/eugenic mentality. You can go to their websites or check out trailers/clips on YouTube.
Thank you!
Thank you!
