The bill submitted by Mike Pence would defund Planned Parenthood, the nation’s largest abortion provider, of Government funds. Considering that at more than half of the people in this country don’t support abortion, this is the least we can ask for. Imagine having to pay for the support for slavery, or the rounding up of Jews for extermination. How would you feel about that?
Slate.com says the vote was “partisan” and went down along party lines. Wow, really? You mean Democrats aren’t against abortion? I’m so surprised. Interestingly enough though, around 10 Democrat representatives voted for the defunding of this esteemed organization which makes a living killing young humans in the womb.
Of courses when Obama wanted to shove Obamacare down the throats of America, they (Democrats and Slate) were praying for just one Republican RINO to support it so that they could claim it was “bi-partisan”.
This bill doesn’t stand a snowball’s chance in Hades in getting through the Senate, but at least the House Republicans are putting their votes where their mouths are. I’m not saying Senate Republicans wouldn’t pass this if they could, they just don’t have the numbers.
I am discouraged by the lack of effort to end abortion though. With statements like this one made by Mike Pence:
“I long for the day that Roe v. Wade is sent to the ash heap of history, when we move past the broken hearts and broken lives of the past 38 years, but as this debate rages on…let us at least respect the overwhelming consensus of the American people and end taxpayer support for abortion providers once and for all.”
...it’s amazing to me that they just don’t say “abortion is murder and we’re going to stop it.” Why just stop the funding of it?
Representatives in Government, abortion is murder, and you are not doing enough to end it, you are only prolonging the existence of this bogus law (Roe v Wade) which mothers use to kill their babies at a rate of 3,500 per day.
I point to the Wisconsin Democrat Representatives who are in hiding today so that they don’t have to vote on a bill which will cut the salaries of union workers in their state. As far as the issue goes, they are flat-out stupid and wrong. After all, it’s cut the pay or cut 5,000 jobs. They want neither, & during these times, that is totally unrealistic. As far as how far they will go to stand for what they believe in, well, I’m impressed at the level of support they can get for anything at the drop of a dime. Thousands of people are out there protesting and screaming because they might have to cut down on their morning latte. What do conservatives do when it comes to the killing of 3,500 people per day?
Not much, it’s just another day. Okay, back in the day, there was protesting and barricading of abortion mills, but that was then. Now we silently pray at abortion mills as mothers walk right by us to take their children in to be killed. Conservatives should be ashamed of themselves. We want to “leave it to God”, because after all, it’s “all in His time.”
Pastor’s and church leaders are silent as their congregation struggles with this modern-day “choice”. While mom and dad are contemplating “hmm, should we kill our daughter or let her live”?, the pastor is preaching about generic morality.
There is no way to sugar-coat this issue, the most dramatic human-killing issue in the history of mankind. We are either working to end abortion and human killing research or we are allowing it to happen. Forty three million people will be killed this year by their mothers around the world. When do we decide enough is enough?
Does your church have a Life Ministry? I’m not talking about a life committee or a pro-life group. I’m talking about a real Life Ministry, one which is fully supported and funded by the church, as a ministry. If not, and the answer to that question is most likely no, than head on over to Cherish Life Ministries at cherishlife.us and see what you can do to get one started today.
Let’s abolish abortion now!

Quotes from Representative Mike Pence courtesy of LifeNews.com
“I believe that ending an innocent human life is morally wrong.
“I also believe it is morally wrong to take the taxpayer dollars of millions of pro-life Americans and use them to fund organizations that provide and promote abortion-like Planned Parenthood of America.
“The headlines and years of investigations speak for themselves.
“In 2002, Planned Parenthood was found civilly liable in Arizona for failure to report statutory rape.
“In 2008 it violated reporting laws in Indiana and California.
“In 2009 it instructed a girl in Tennessee to lie about her age so she could get an abortion without her parents’ knowledge.
“Recently in California, Washington, New Jersey, and New York, Planned Parenthood clinics have been accused of fraudulent accounting or overbilling practices.
“And last week, undercover videos showed Planned Parenthood employees apparently willing to aid human sex traffickers by coaching them on how to falsify documents and secure secret abortions for their underage prostitutes.
“As the father of two teenage daughters, there are not words strong enough to portray my contempt of this pattern of apparent fraud and abuse by Planned Parenthood.
“And the American people deserve to know, Planned Parenthood is not only the largest abortion provider in America. It is also the largest recipient of taxpayer funding under Title X.
“According to their latest annual report, Planned Parenthood received more than $363 million in taxpayer dollars, while also boasting of performing an unprecedented 324,008 abortions.
“The Pence Amendment would deny any and all federal funding to Planned Parenthood Federation of America and its affiliates for the rest of this fiscal year.
“Let me be clear, my amendment would not cut funding for health services. It would simply block those funds already in the bill from subsidizing America’s largest abortion provider.
“Now, I am aware that Title X family planning funds are eliminated in this bill, but eliminating Title X funding has never been my goal. I support the important work of Title X clinics across the country that provide breast cancer screenings, HIV testing, counseling, and other valuable family planning services.
“The reality is that Planned Parenthood receives hundreds of millions of taxpayer dollars from federal funding sources other than Title X. Of the $363 million they received last year, according to the GAO, only $53 million of that was from Title X.
“My focus has and will remain on denying taxpayer dollars to Planned Parenthood or any organization that provides or promotes abortion as a means of birth control.
“Some consider the Pence Amendment a ‘war on Planned Parenthood,’ but this is not about Planned Parenthood’s right to be in the abortion business. Sadly, abortion on demand is legal in America. This debate is about who pays for it.
“Only in Washington, D.C. are you declaring war on an organization by simply refusing to pay for it with taxpayer dollars.
“Nobody is saying that Planned Parenthood can’t be the leading advocate of abortion on demand in America…but why do I have to pay for it?
“Nobody is saying that Planned Parenthood cannot continue to be the largest abortion provider in America, but why do millions of pro-life taxpayers have to pay for it?
“I long for the day that Roe v. Wade is sent to the ash heap of history, when we move past the broken hearts and broken lives of the past 38 years, but as this debate rages on…let us at least respect the overwhelming consensus of the American people and end taxpayer support for abortion providers once and for all.
“This is the moment. Now is the time. Support the Pence Amendment. I urge my colleagues to take a stand for taxpayers, take a stand against a pattern of corruption, and take a stand for young women in crisis pregnancies who deserve access to unbiased and compassionate health services. Let’s end taxpayer support of Planned Parenthood.”
