Senate Republicans had a chance to stop Planned Parenthood from butchering unborn children and selling their body parts to the highest bidder. Instead, Majority Leader Mitch McConnell refused to put up a vote -- thumbing his nose at Senators Mike Lee and Ted Cruz, along with every pro-lifer in the nation.

That sort of emasculated leadership is why Donald Trump is surging in the polls

That is the second sentence in the article. I don't think that I am the one bringing up the Chump.

...”I have absolutely zero ZERO interest in Trump or voting for Trump”....

You don’t have to...it’s just fun watching the plays...and they’re really good ones....some will get behind Trump and believe he’ll be the nominee...that’s ok...but we all should be enjoying the plays going on...Trumps simply doing what he’s suppose to do in the plan...

I had merely expected that the short-sighted Republicans charging into this trap laid by Planned Parenthood would be crushed by pro-death Democrats, rather than members of their own party. I guess I had a failure of imagination.

Actually we’re seeing some incredible plays to knock out Hillary....Trumps soaking up the media as planned...and I think took off far better than expected....we’re mostly all enjoying the ride with him...and you can be assured so is Cruz, though he’s pretty occupied beating up the Senate Republicans...We have an inside man and outside man....and watching them battle even before the gate opens...they’re dancing on the track for all to see while others are ripping up their tickets before the race even gets the go!

There will be 12 videos released in total. Wait for even more damaging ones to surface. The GOP will be forced to do something. They will have egg on their collective faces.

Cruz and Lee were not harmed....they know who they are up against and how they play. It was expected.

What’s interesting is the the Senate Republicans did exactly as planned.....they are vastly underestimating the plays ...and more.... those who are watching them.

I hate to say this, but until these folks start suffering the traditional penalties that rulers have faced when they finally have driven their constituents too far, then nothing will change.

Ballot box is broken. Trump is on the soap box. What remains is the ammo box. Hope it doesn’t come to that.

Someone needs to keep an eye on McConnell’s PAC for the next several days to see if he gets any donations from PP’s PAC.

So, Planned Parenthood thinks CPM has video of at least two of its conferences as well as PP staff dissecting babies for organs, expressing a preference for black babies, sniffing – if not taking – the bait on large kickbacks for baby parts, admitting (which has already happened twice) to illegally manipulating abortions to retrieve intact organs and body parts, and much, much, much more about which it has no idea.

In the days since that "misleading" video was released, Daleiden and his surrogates have sent ricochets of alarm throughout the abortion provider community with their claims that there are more such videos to come.

Of particular concern is the apparent revelation that Daleiden and his associates managed to infiltrate deep into the abortion care world, even attending conferences that require at least two letters of recommendation before any attendee can register.

Two such conferences were held by the National Abortion Federation, the national association for abortion providers in America….

Biomax was a sponsor of both the 2014 NAF conference held in San Francisco and this year’s conference in Baltimore, according to attendees….

“Biomax had a booth that was right across from me,” recalls Heather Ault, a pro-choice artist and activist, describing the exhibition hall at the 2014 conference….

Ault is one of five attendees who have told RH Reality Check of their discomfort at learning that Daleiden and his groups infiltrated what had until now been seen as a secure space. Security is a high priority for abortion providers and pro-choice advocates, who are subject to constant threats and harassment, and whose safety – and often lives – are at risk at the hands of anti-choice terrorists….

McConnell to fast-track bill to defund Planned Parenthood · 07/24/2015 · Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell started a fast-track process Friday on legislation to strip Planned Parenthood of federal funding in the wake of two controversial videos showing officials discussing delivery of fetal parts. The Republican leader began "Rule 14," which will let the legislation skip the committee process and be placed on the Senate calendar so it can be brought up for a floor vote. The move comes after Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) slammed McConnell during a blistering floor speech earlier Friday, suggesting the Kentucky Republican wanted to dodge a vote on defunding Planned Parenthood. " ...

Democrat women have their babies chopped up and sold for scrap... that’s why dems have to bring in third world illegals.

Illegals are the new black...

Come election day voters have a choice -Democrats or Republicans. But after what happened over the weekend I'm not too sure it really matters who we vote for."

Really? You do know
Ted Cruz is running for president
don't you?

Ted Cruz is my choice for 2016-He's been fighting for this nation from the day he arrived in the Senate.

This weekend my wife and I watched “Mr. Smith Goes to Washington” starring James Stewart made and set in 1939.

The movie illustrates that Congress was corrupt in 1939. Congress is even more corrupt today.

Truly, there’s nothing new under the sun.

I’m ashamed that I ever thought that voting for a Republican would make a difference. I can’t believe that I’ve been so stupid.

Every Freeper should watch “Mr. Smith Goes to Washington”. It’ll help you understand why we can’t expect the GOPee or the Rats to ever clean up their filthy nests.

Mitch McConnell and John Boehner, John Cornyn and John McCain and Orrin Hatch support abortion and support Planned Parenthood.

On the other hand, Thad Cochran has no idea what he supports. He has handlers that tell him how to vote.

REMEMBER MISSISSIPPI!!!
