For me, defunding Planned Parenthood is of the highest priority. Planned Parenthood received $363 million in government funding in 2009 alone, during that time they performed 329,008 abortions. Congressman Mike Pence seeks to prohibit funding to any organization that performs abortion.
Cubachi reports that he already has over 100 cosponsors.
Choice quote from Pence: “The largest abortion provider in America should not also be the largest recipient of federal funding under Title X. For the sake of the American taxpayers…for the sake of the defenseless unborn and vulnerable young women who find themselves in a crisis pregnancy we must enact the Title X Abortion Provider prohibition Act and end the day of taxpayer support of these organizations.”
And you should watch it just to hear how he cuts down the lie that the federal government doesn’t fund abortion.
Check out Cubachi for more details.
