Propagandists Target Pence Amendment Last week the US House of Representatives did something that has been a long time in coming: they passed the Pence Amendment as part of a federal spending bill which includes a provision to cut taxpayer funding of Planned Parenthood. Planned Parenthood is notorious for its radical support of child killing in the womb (i.e., abortion). In fact, PP has slaughtered over 4 million preborn babies and kills 5,871 innocent human beings every week. Further, recent investigations by LiveAction have revealed the scandal-plagued abortion organization has employees who are willing to ignore criminal activity when an abortion has been requested. Here is how Rep. Pence introduced the legislation to de-fund PP: |
Is it any surprise the pro-abortion extremists are now targeting Pence's provision and demanding that taxpayers fund one of the world's most prolific abortion providers? Their method is to misrepresent the Amendment as blocking funding for organizations and activities, such as Title X, and pretend it isn't about cutting taxpayer dollars to a notorious abortion provider. Yes, this is misrepresentation, exaggeration and fear mongering.
Here's Rep. Pence's response:
First, the Pence Amendment does not cut any funding for women's health services under Title X. It would simply block those funds already in the bill from subsidizing America's largest abortion provider.
In fact, it has never been my ambition to reduce funding for Title X services. I applaud the important work done at Title X clinics, such as pregnancy diagnosis, breast cancer screening and HIV testing. I support young women getting the access to care they need and deserve. My legislation would help protect women who find themselves in crisis pregnancies by ensuring they receive access to unbiased and compassionate health services.

Second, critics have asserted that if Planned Parenthood is denied funding there would be no other organizations available to provide these services to women in our larger cities. This too is incorrect.
There are literally thousands of clinics across the country -- other than Planned Parenthood -- that receive federal funding and offer access to health care for low-income women and families.
In Indiana, for instance, some of these clinics include: Open Door clinics in both Anderson and Muncie; Lafayette Street Clinic in Fort Wayne; Women's Urgent Visit Center in Indianapolis, and Tri-Cap Family Health Services in Evansville. Around the country, clinics from Maine to Florida and New Mexico to Washington serve the needs of women, such as the Augusta Family Planning Clinic, the Children's Hospital Adolescent Clinic, the Lake Worth Teen Time Clinic, Healthcare for the Homeless, and the Forks Women's Clinic -- just to name a few.
The passage of the Pence Amendment was a victory for taxpayers and a victory for life, and I am hopeful our colleagues in the Senate will join us in ending federal funding for Planned Parenthood once and for all.
Those speaking out against the Pence Amendment need to listen to this video one more time and ask whether or not taxpayers should be funding this type of "service".

WASHINGTON, Feb. 21, 2011/Christian Newswire -- The following is released by Day Gardner, President of the National Black Pro-Life Union: Let me get this straight; Rep. Gwen Moore (D-WI) says if the federal government stops funding Planned Parenthood, hungry, crying children will need to eat the Ramen noodles and mayonnaise sandwiches to fill their little bellies. "So, Gwen, what you are implying is - it's better to fund and organization whose core business includes killing off our children by abortion rather than allowing the children to "suffer" through the enjoyment of eating Ramen noodles?" Gwen, "I am grew up one of 7 children. My mother talks about how whe Gwen, "I know 50 ways to cook pasta. Our meals were filling, cheap and very, very tasty." Representative Moore, "I have one last thing to say: Try this recipe. Cook Ramen noodles as usual--drain. Sprinkle the season pack over the drained noodles--toss and enjoy. Try the same recipe adding diced chicken, fresh veggies when available, but frozen or canned veggies work, too. Yum! Oh, and don't even get me started on mayonnaise sandwiches - a childhood favorite." See Rep. Gwen Moore's comments in the left. |
