House Leaves for Recess Without a Vote to Defund Planned Parenthood


Breitbart reports

A House leadership aide reportedly told The Hill, “In order to enact legislation to defund Planned Parenthood, we need more Republicans and Democrats in both the House and the Senate to support our efforts.” Maybe they will get an earful at home?

Thousands of Americans participated in rallies across the nation to urge their state and federal lawmakers to investigate and defund Planned Parenthood in the wake of the disclosures in the videos.

 Black said on the House floor:

“I stand here profoundly disappointed that the House will leave town today without taking a vote on my legislation to defund Planned Parenthood. Over the past two weeks, we’ve all seen the gruesome videos showing the heartless depravity of this organization. We issued statements, we made passionate floor speeches, and we pledged action. Now, our constituents would like to know when we’re going to follow through on that promise.”

“Today, I’m reminded of the words of Dietrich Bonhoeffer: ‘Silence in the face of evil is itself evil. Not to speak is to speak. Not to act is to act,’” she added.

Black, a nurse for over 40 years, is an active member of the Congressional Pro-Life Caucus. She finished by saying, “[W]e have a moral obligation to defund Planned Parenthood, and we must do it now – not when the politicians and pundits think it is most politically expedient.”

Amen. But, in addition, let’s take careful note of who is not interested in defunding. They are just as culpable and quite without character.
