Yesterday, Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) released a statement regarding legislation that would defund Planned Parenthood after videos surfaced showing their top executives negotiating the sale of body parts from aborted babies. However, his remarks sounded more like Planned Parenthood’s talking points than his own words.
Sen. Sanders said, “The attempt by Senate Republicans to cut off support for Planned Parenthood is an attack on women’s health. Stripping funding for Planned Parenthood would punish the 2.7 million Americans, especially low-income women, who rely on its clinics for affordable, quality health care services including cancer prevention, STI and HIV testing and general primary health care services.”
He concluded, “The current attempt to discredit Planned Parenthood is part of a long-term smear campaign by people who want to deny women in this country the right to control their own bodies.”
SIGN THE PETITION! Congress Must De-Fund Planned Parenthood Immediately
Sen. Sanders also told CNN Politics that Cecile Richards’ “apology” for the first Planned Parenthood video was right on target. He said, “Obviously, I think Cecile Richards apologized for the tone of that video. I think her apology was exactly right. I think that the staffer, the tone was terribly wrong.”
In a video message, Planned Parenthood President Cecile Richards said she’s sorry for her employee’s tone but that they do not profit from selling aborted babies. Richards was referring to Medical Director, Dr. Deborah Nucatola’s comments when she describes how she kills a baby if she wants to obtain salable organs for harvesting. She said, “We’ve been very good at getting heart, lung, liver, because we know that, so I’m not gonna crush that part, I’m gonna basically crush below, I’m gonna crush above, and I’m gonna see if I can get it all intact.”
As LifeNews previously reported, Sen. Sanders is extreme on abortion and has a six-percent pro-life voting record according to National Right to Life. In the past, he’s opposed the partial birth abortion ban and supported President Obama’s radical abortion agenda. Unfortunately, Sen. Sanders is also running for President.
In April, Sen. Sanders officially launched his campaign against pro-abortion Hillary Clinton. He told the Associated Press, “People should not underestimate me. I’ve run outside of the two-party system, defeating Democrats and Republicans, taking on big-money candidates and, you know, I think the message that has resonated in Vermont is a message that can resonate all over this country. So to me, the question is whose views come closer to representing the vast majority of working people in this country. And you know what? I think my views do.”
If we are serious about moving legislation forward that will defund Planned Parenthood and end late in America, pro-lifers must work really hard to ensure that neither Sen. Sanders nor Hillary Clinton win the presidency in 2016.
SIGN THE PETITION! Congress Must Investigate Planned Parenthood for Selling Aborted Baby Parts
After negotiations between pro-life members of the Senate, a new bill has been introduced that will totally de-fund the Planned Parenthood abortion business. The legislation follows three shocking videos that have caught Planned Parenthood doctors discussing and arranging the sale of body parts of aborted babies.
He and Hillary are hoping some of those baby parts can be used to lengthen their own selfish lives, because of course, the world can’t get along without Socialists and Communists, you know.
“Sen. Sanders also told CNN Politics that Cecile Richards’ “apology” for the first Planned Parenthood video was right on target.

Why Bernie & Cecile??? If abortion is so hunky dory then why should the tone even matter??
In order to be a socialist, you’ve got to believe many things that are wrong and develop a completely inverted moral view of the world.
Did someone forget to inform Sanders that since men can’t get pregnant, their opinions about abortion don’t count?
The LefTards in, ‘The People’s Republik of Madistan’ would be lifting Bernie on their shoulders and carrying him around the Capitol Square!
Baby parts are HUGE business at The University of Wisconsin and all of the stem cell labs, etc.
Maddening. But oh my gosh! You’d better not do any experiments on a monkey or a freakin’ CAT or you will be drummed out of business!
The voice of the true Democrat.
gee....not a word about PARENTHOOD, (meaning lack of) in this saintly list....which I've always thought is window dressing for their real business.
Besides, with the fabulous Obamacare do poor women really have to go to PP for their mammograms?
alters medical procedures to maximize profit from baby parts.
I wasn’t ever going to vote for him, but I did enjoy some his blunt honesty and his seeming genuine concern for normal people. But now I am only disgusted by him. No sane person could support ANY organization for ANY reason that did what Planned Parenthood clearly did.
This is straight up Dr Mengele. In fact, it would put him to shame in some ways.
No surprise. Their ghouls and murderers.
For GOD’s SAKE: IGNORE that CRIMINAL judge’s injunction!!
