Rand Paul plans to keep pushing to defund U.S. Planned Parenthood

WASHINGTON | BY ALINA SELYUKH

U.S. Republican presidential contender Rand Paul said on Sunday he plans to push Congress to cut federal funding for the non-profit reproductive healthcare organization Planned Parenthood in a debate over its treatment of aborted fetal tissue.

"I think the time is now to discuss whether taxpayer dollars should be going to such a gruesome procedure," Paul, a Kentucky senator, said on Fox News Sunday. "People are outraged by this and I think the American people deserve to have a vote on it."

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell has started a fast-track process to bring Paul's legislation for a vote soon, McConnell's spokesman told Reuters on Sunday.

Republicans have rallied around secretly recorded videos showing Planned Parenthood officials discussing ways to perform abortions to preserve fetal tissue for research, as well as the costs involved. The videos were filmed by anti-abortion group Center for Medical Progress.

1. This "libertarian" charlatan has

backed away from his opposition to the drug war, unlimited drone strikes, preemptive war, a smaller military budget. What else will this charlatan back away from?

2. For Jesus Sakes..

How come no one is mentioning the fact that the whole interview was a fucking Jame’s O’keefe sting like
set up. Attorney General of Cali, Kamala Harris is probably going to investigate the “Center for Medical Progress” for illegal activities concerning their tax structure..

Please mention these facts when posting anything to do with this story.. Its a sham!!

Realize the article covers some of my points, but still so many around here don’t go to links...
