Undercover Videos Helping Move to De-Fund Planned Parenthood

 But you and I must do our part.

Fox News is just about the only MSM source that is giving any attention at all to the shocking revelations contained in new undercover videos showing criminal behavior by Planned Parenthood staff. Therefore, the conservative blogosphere must team up with pro-life activists all around the country (pro-life activists like you!) to get the word out -- and here's one report that certainly should be passed around. It's a Fox news story that connects the Live Action video clips with the movement in Congress to stop taxpayer funding of Planned Parenthood, the nation's #1 "abortion provider" and the organization that is demonstrating a pattern of covering up statutory rape cases.

Below is an excerpt from that news story. My suggestion is that you forward this post to your friends, to your Facebook page....and to your Congressman. Let's help this extremely important cultural reform move forward.

[The Live Action undercover videos] quickly gave momentum to Rep. Mike Pence's, R-Ind., effort to strip federal funding for abortion providers. With Planned Parenthood the biggest recipient of those funds, Pence said Americans should be "shocked" that the organization "has been recorded aiding and abetting underage sex trafficking."

"The recent release of an undercover video exposing duplicity and potential criminality by an employee of Planned Parenthood is an outrage," Pence said. "The time to deny any and all funding to Planned Parenthood is now."

He urged Congress to immediately bring his bill, which would end family planning grants for abortion providers, to the floor for consideration. Pence reintroduced that bill last month. According to a Government Accountability Office study last summer, Planned Parenthood tapped into $657 million in federal dollars between 2002 and 2009.

Rose said she thinks the videos will move the bill along, saying it's "atrocious" that taxpayer dollars are going toward the organization.

The Susan B. Anthony List also announced that it was banding together with other anti-abortion groups to kick off a campaign to build congressional support for Pence's proposal in light of the footage. And Rep. Michele Bachmann, R-Minn., a co-sponsor on that bill, linked to the first Planned Parenthood video on her Facebook page, vowing to introduce her own bill "that would prohibit Planned Parenthood from receiving any future federal money directly or indirectly."...
