We'll see where this goes. It's encouraging to read. From ABCNews:
The House voted on Friday in favor of a proposal to ban all federal funding for Planned Parenthood and to eliminate a program known as Title X, which provides aid for family planning and reproductive health.
The amendment, which was put forth by Indiana Republican Mike Pence, passed with a vote of 240 to 185, with eleven Democrats voting for the amendment and seven Republicans voting against it. One Congress member voted "present." The amendment will now proceed to Senate as a part of the Continuing Resolution to fund the federal government through September. ...
New York Democrat Louise Slaughter called the proposed cuts to family planning "the opening salvo in an all-out war on women's health."
House Republicans are to be commended in the extreme for this measure. If the appropriately named Rep. Slaughter means, in her understanding of the boundaries of "women's health" the prevention of the massacre of millions unborn children, she's right.
