House Speaker John Boehner may or may not defund Planned Parenthood, telling reporters that he wants to get the facts first.

You want facts, Mr. Speaker?

Okay - call up Planned Parenthood and see what the going rate is for an aborted baby's backbone.

You want facts, sir?

Can’t? Try “Won’t”.

Agreed. Fail to de-fund Planned “Parenthood” at your peril, GOP.

Afraid of somehow acting against “R V Wade?”

Egg Zackly!

Consequence-free fornication is far too important to be squeamish about killing fully formed babies and harvesting their parts...

Even more to the point, forcing people who disagree with this practice to pay for it is even more important.

Roe V. Wade has NOTHING to do with using tax payer money to fund Planned Parenthood, ABSOLUTELY NOTHING.

Why would anyone think the GOPe want the white house. They seem to agree with all of the dems program.

Congressional Republicans really are pathetic.

This is worthy of threatening a government shut-down over.

Leftists will, do, and have argued that if it isn’t paid for by the government, then it’s not really an “accessible right” for everyone.

Sad to say, but I absolutely agree.

I would not buy a car that does not have a working engine or wheels.

Not hard to justify..

RE: Well, they won’t get her done.

Let’s be realistic, if defunding of Planned Parenthood is going to be accomplished, it won’t be until we have a CONSERVATIVE President with a CONSERVATIVE Congress.

Let’s say both houses vote to defund Planned Parenthood, who has the veto pen now?

And you can be SURE Obama will veto it.

And both houses DO NOT HAVE the necessary 2/3 majority of override the veto.

So, if a President Clinton wins in 2017, it’s the status quo.

Could've stopped at the title as far as I'm concerned. Exactly right! The Republicans hold the purse strings now. If "Planned Murder an Unborn Child" gets ANY federal government funding, the jackasses that are the Republican Party in Washington DC deserve to lose in 2016.

When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.

I think the only confounding issue would be that Planned Parenthood also does HIV and breast mammograms. How can you be called planned parenthood and not also provide ultrasounds to help a mother decide on what to do.

THere is no business for tax payer money to be sending these people money.

Yes, but Obama holds the veto pen.

The GOP doesn’t want to defund Planned Parenthood any more than they want to defund Obamacare.

To paraphrase a great American: I didn’t leave the Republican Party, the Republican Party left me.

Hope they enjoy permanent minority status going forward.

I know, but anymore, I don’t think the GOP has the guts to stand for anything. I would guess they wouldn’t defund PP even if they had the House, Senate, and WH.

There is always a pathetic excuse for them to never do the right thing.
