PenceBlog: Planned Parenthood back in the news - U.S. Congressman Mike Pence : 6th District Of Indiana

CNS News has a story today on why Planned Parenthood’s federal funding could be in danger. Check out the story here.

Excerpt:

NOTE: Jim Sedlak, executive director of Stop Planned Parenthood (STOPP) International, said on Thursday that although Democrats have marginal control of both houses of Congress, the charges in Kansas might be enough to convince federal officials that the abortion provider doesn't deserve government money.

"We had a very significant vote in July in the House on the labor, health and human services bill," he told Cybercast News Service. Rep. Mike Pence (R-Ind.) "introduced an amendment to take all Title X money away from Planned Parenthood, and although we didn't win that time, we failed by only 20 votes."

Sedlak stated that the 107 criminal counts submitted last week are "only going to add to the reasons why Planned Parenthood should not get funding," noting that "a district attorney put the charges together, and a judge reviewed the thousands of pages of documents supporting them."

"It's not as if somebody just beamed it up and threw the charges in," he added.
