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.

Paul has urged cutting the nearly $500 million in annual taxpayer funding for Planned Parenthood in the latest Republican effort to limit government support of the group over its abortion services.

1. Rand Paul hates your children. Likes nothing more than seeing one die from a disease that might

been prevented with the research this provides.

Rand Paul hates your children.
Rand Paul hates your children.
Rand Paul hates your children....

2. Rand Paul, like every other conservative...

... Satan ever defecated, is a pathological liar, and as such, is congenitally incapable of discerning the truth, let alone telling it. He has joined the GOP "LOOK AT ME!" food fight for a seat on the stage of Pox News' upcoming Circus Maximus in the Murdoch Coliseum of Malice. I wonder if Roger Ailes has rented some lions to devour the losers.

Republicans screech about FREEDOM! LIBERTY! and KEEP YER GUMMINT HANDS OFFA MY MEDICARE!, but then pass the most invasive, restrictive, and draconian laws in living memory. And their brain-dead "base" is too dirt stupid to see the glaring contradictions between their words and actions.

I despair for the future of humanity.

3. Medical/Research procedures are gruesome in detail - he's too immature to handle CLINICAL

descriptions of medical/research procedures, and that is enough to disqualify him from seeking any higher office, including the one he has.

I hope more people begin to denounce the lack of maturity in those targeting PP on this and other issues relevant to health care and science.

5. Fuck off, Randy.

6. Rand Paul is crying out for attention-please someone pay attention to him

Poor Rand can not get money from his Dad's fundraising network and no one paid attention to his stunt with a chain saw. Rand needs someone to pay attention to him.

[not fooled]

7. So, their little stunt failed...

...but no matter--they will continue on with their vile mission to destroy Planned Parenthood.

Truth? Facts? No deterrent!

Scum AND hypocrite--how is it"libertarian" to try to control women's choices???
