Rep. Pence Calls on Gov’t to Defund Planned Parenthood in House Speech

Rep. Mike Pence (R-IN) has seen the recent undercover videos showing Planned Parenthood coaching a fake pimp on how to bypass abortion laws — and they worry him. In a speech on the House floor Tuesday, Pence called on the government to “deny” all federal funding for the pro-abortion group, adding that the videos should be a “scandal to all Americans,” and calling on members to vote for his bill that would do just that:

Transcript via Pence’s website:

The time has come to deny all federal funding to Planned Parenthood of America. I’ve authored the Title X Abortion Provider Prohibition Act, which would deny Title X funds to Planned Parenthood or any other abortion provider and Congress must act and act now to move this important legislation. Pro-life Americans and all Americans should not be forced to subsidize America’s largest abortion provider or continue to provide federal taxpayer dollars to Title X clinics that engage in this abhorrent behavior. [Emphasis added]

      Why do you assume people would have fifteen kids? There are only about a million forms of contraception. You can get birth control pills at Walmart for $4 a month. Not all, but alot of people who have unplanned pregnancies must just be lazy, or ready to get their welfare checks.

    Although I usually agree with most comments on this site, I disagree here. Im a pretty strict constitutionalist and feel that the government should stay out of the individuals lives in almost all cases. We had a surpreme court which ruled abortion to be legal. I agree with the surpreme court on this one. The people who have abortions are usually selfish people IMHO and if they dont allow these people to have an abortion they will end up raising children they did not want. I know im going to get the adoption arguement here but you have to step back and realize that the people who are willing to have an abortion are way too selfish to ever consider adoption. We end up with unwanted children who get abused and in turn they end up drains on society in their adult life. In my personal life abortion would not be an option but who am I to barge into your life….. I think that is the gateway to socialism? Maybe im wrong.

      Let’s take a look at the facts.

      1 – Glenn’s videos are available in their entirety for anyone to see
      2 – Quoted material is from credible news sources and can be verified

      Other than this he makes very few allegations or statements without facts

      So if you going to take a stab at someone facts would be appreciated. Do you have any particular instance where Glenn has lied.

      If we look at ACORN for example beyond the videos there is literally tons of evidences of their action I would be willing to put on the table. Evidence that implicated president Obama. Do these guys sound familiar?

      • Uno of Chicago
      • Woods Fund (with that gentleman Bill Ayers)
      • Midwest Academy (Alinsky at work with our tax dollars)
      • Chicago Annenberg Challenge

      All illegal actions that I can pull facts from the socialist archives, damming many member of what is now the White house administration. Would you like to see it? Oh, I guess this would be more demonic lies. Right!

      If you can just site a real example where Glenn has been involved in lie. It has to be real documented not just platitude. I can give you evidence as I can give you anytime you ask Can you?

      Here is my suggestion, either put up or shut up.

      I am so tired you socialists making unfounded accusations.

      First did you look at the full videos, did you read the press release by Planned Parenthood a week prior to the release of the highly edited tapes? PP did follow the law and contacted law enforcement after the anti-choice group sent the pimp in.

      ACORN O’Keefe tape proved nothing, DA’s across the country after view the entire videos found NO CRIMINAL ACTIVITY. ACORN was defunded based on the lies of Fox News.

Global warming isnt so much about the environment, as it is about control and redistribution of wealth. Then the whole abortion argument isnt based in a womans choice but based on some person you dont even know telling you “its not human yet”.

    Is it called section 10? They can easily reorganize themselves to create a wall of seperation between the two. Whatever the case, Planned Parenthood does other things besides abortions, and will take legal steps to protect themselves. Yes I admit the abortions are their moneymaker. I really think we should only be looking to slap them on when they break the law. These tapes clearly show a lot of PP people breaking the law. Rather than try and defund them, giving the left ammo to attack the right, I would much rather deal with these things on a case by case basis. When they break the law, slap them down. Based on what they’ve done, I would love to see them lose a % (maybe 5%?) of their funding which would be given to advocacy groups like Live Action to help fund their sting operations. They’ve done a great deal on a shoestring, and would do a much better job than the ‘real media,’ or any government agency. Keep slapping them down when they break the law and you will greatly reduce the number f abortions. I acknowledge that this will not appeal to those who are pro-life on moral grounds. It will, however, IMHO, greatly reduce the number of abortions, and bring more from the middle to support the cause. Continue to attack ALL abortions, and you reach fewer and fewer minds, no matter your moral high ground. Continue to catch and slap those who break the law in the name of pro-choice principles and you will reduce abortions and win more hearts and minds.

      @Black hawk1 The problem with trying to enforce or eliminate the title 10 funding, is that ANY organization can simply reorganize themselves and create legal barriers between their operations. You need only set up a different entity and bookeeping to do this. Ask your lawyer or tax person just how easy this is to do. All manner of businesses, non-profits, churches etc.. use these legal tools to legally seperate various activites from one another. Sad but true. Better to simply keep them as honest as you can.

A sad and feeble arguement at best. I have even heard several supposed conservatives (fiscally only) propose this same arguement. Sad…no moral fortitude if it costs you….them. Most pro-abortion activists really do believe in reduction of the population, especially blacks and other minorities, and using abortion as a means of accomplishing their goal.

      This is so very sad. And these are the very liberally minded that have a record of giving the smallest % of their incomes to charities who might take some of the tax burden off of our backs, currently going to “social programs”. Our government providing charitable services has become the church for the masses. It’s organised liberal religion. Forced humanism.

      I’m with him on this one. We need to stop funding these groups that claim to be protecting children when in fact they are exploiting them. I saw the video of the public relations guy saying the videos were doctored. When pressed, he admitted that he hadn’t actually watched the video, but was sure they were doctored. These libs are unreal.

      Bad news is it’s doomed to fail. Good news is, it puts Dems and/or the President on record as supporting taxpayer funded abortions. The majority of Americans are pro-life, and even some of the pro-choice crowd don’t agree with taxpayers footing the bill.

      Why such a short list? Let’s keep the Departments of Defense, Justice and Treasury for now. Get rid of everything else. That’s pretty much the limits set by our Constitution. That would go a long way toward solving the budget problems, and many, many other problems by getting all the money out of DC and back to the States and individuals it’s been stolen from.

      while I have to say he’s right on the money about this.. taxpayer money should NOT be used for these things epically when they are withholding information from the parents..However.. all you out there that are against any abortion.. are you willing to put your money where your mouth is?? remember for every action there is an equal and OPPOSITE reaction.. How many are going to be in line for welfare?? TAXPAYERS will on the hook for supporting these children for the next 18 years.. and HOW they are raised will NOT be under TAXPAYER control.. therefore there is a high stat that these children will be having children of their own and collecting welfare.. there is also the point that they will be exploited by their families FOR the welfare check and the stats for abuse is higher.. I am NOT pro abortion.. however.. depending on the circumstances and within the first 2 months I am not totally against it.. I do not think it should be used for birth control.. Abortion has been around as long as Prostitution doesn’t make either right.. Perfect answer is no one has more kids than they can provide for.. are married.. and stable.. however.. we all know that is NOT always the case.. this also will give the Socialists a hand up on HOW badly those that have 6 or 7 kids need MORE free stuff cause they are underprivileged.. Wish there was an easy answer..but there’s not.. it’s one of those double edged sword things..

      Planned Parenthood did not notify my brother that his 17 year old daughter was set to have an abortion until the day before the abortion. He got a postcard in the mail. Thank God, he was able to talk her out of it. She now has a beautiful almost 4 year old little boy, and will be graduating with an RN degree next year. Her little boy is one of the greatest joys in her life.

      I understand your train of thought if there is no change in existing system, however if government aid/welfare remains an easy entitlement with these “pay-as-you-pop-a-kid” guideline it will be a problem either way. Welfare shouldn’t be a luxury for citizens. If you NEED to receive this type of support the recipient should also be REQUIRED to track the use of OUR money. It would force a level of responsibility on to the recipient and make it a less attractive option. Not to mention a may to instill a discipline that they didn’t have before. I do believe as a society we need to take care of the indigent, but there needs to be a level of shame associated with able bodies being on Welfare that fosters a desire to get off of it.

      I believe this would be deterrent in “cash-for-kids” mentality, and would have an impact on kids born to house holds for profit. Be it a tough battle since our governing parties (on both sides) promoting that people are entitled to it.

      Another method:
      When Congress prepares the budget, the line item $ related to PP should = 0

      So, if the President vetoes, or approves, the budget, then there are no federal funds for PP.

      p.s. Congress did not pass a budget last year…it is operating on a continuiing resolution.
      imo, the next ‘continuiing resolution’ should include a discontinuiing of PP funds (and other items too)within the resolution.

      p.s.s.
      Of course, the ‘health’ of women will be trumpeted, ad nauseum again, as a concern by some in the media.
      But uhhh, didn’t their legislative passed / signed Obamacare get their Health all ‘fixed’ up – or did it get overlooked by the leaders that they support?
      So, uhhh, really, just where should they (mis)point their fingers?

      and othrs who discuss this “logic”

      Wow, I don’t quite know what to say. We should fund abortions because it is cheaper than funding them if they are kept alive? Aside from disgusting this is a false argument; if these women are willing to kill the baby to get out of raising it, then they should be more than willing to allow someone who wants a baby to have theirs. I have friends that have been waiting to adopt a baby for more than two years and I know they would take any of the ones (or 2 or 3) Planned Parenthood killed during that time. Perhaps if they “counseled” them in this direction couples that can’t have kids would have families, the children would be alive and thriving in homes that love and nurture them, and we would not have paid for the abortion or the welfare. Maybe we should put our efforts into simplifying and lowering the cost of this life saving option. Maybe if their were an adoption center on all the corners where PP dwells, such easy access would make this option available to those that have no idea how to begin to persue it.

      Defund them now! But do not try to make the government pass an anti abortion law, just get them to let the legislation of abortion fall to the states and handle it on a local level. There is nothing about abortion or anti-abortion that falls under the interstate commerce law, so the federal government should only get involved when illegal abortions are accessed across state lines. If the people keep pushing for a Federal law against abortion it will only serve to legitimize whatever the administration wants to do by acknowledging Federal authority in the matter!
